Longitudinal associations between iron status and patient-reported outcomes in incident dialysis patients: a DOMESTICO substudy Open
Background More liberal use of iron therapy is favored in dialysis patients based on lower erythropoietin need and clinical outcomes. However, it remains unclear whether higher iron stores are associated with better patient-reported outcom…

Geriatric Assessment in Older Patients with Advanced Kidney Disease: A Key to Personalized Care and Shared Decision-Making—A Narrative Review Open
As the global population ages, so too does the prevalence of older people with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Helping people age well with CKD and supporting older people with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) to make personalized decisions r…

Differences in Cardiac Troponin T Composition in Myocardial Infarction and End-Stage Renal Disease Patients: A Blood Tube Effect? Open
Background Cardiac troponin T (cTnT) is key in diagnosing myocardial infarction (MI) but is also elevated in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. Specific larger cTnT proteoforms were identified for the acute phase of MI, while in seru…

Educational level and gender are associated with emotional well-being in a cohort of Dutch dialysis patients Open
Background Patients undergoing dialysis have an impaired health-related quality of life (HRQOL). There are conflicting data from small series on whether patient-related factors such as educational level have an impact on experienced HRQOL.…

Differences in mental health status during the COVID-19 pandemic between patients undergoing in-center hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis Open
Background The mental health of dialysis patients during the COVID-19 pandemic may have been modulated by dialysis modality. Studies comparing mental health of in-center hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis patients during the first 2 year…

Health-related quality of life and symptom burden in patients on haemodialysis Open
Background Patients on haemodialysis (HD) generally experience poor health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and a broad range of physical and mental symptoms, but it is unknown whether this differs between younger and older patients. We aim…

Cardiac troponin T degradation in end-stage renal disease patients appears to occur in vivo Open
Background Cardiac troponin T (cTnT) is a cornerstone biomarker for diagnosing myocardial infarction (MI). However, since the introduction of the high-sensitivity assays, cardiac troponins are also measured in pathologies with cardiac risk…
