[Peritoneal dialysis in practice – a clinician’s perspective not just for nephrologists]

DOLGOS Szilveszter, SALLAI Erika, DETRICH Kata, SZLOVÁK Edina, VÁRADY Tímea, MÁCSAI Emília

[As the number of patients requiring renal replacement therapy increases, so does the number of patients requiring peritoneal dialysis (PD). In fact, peritoneal dialysis is an effective and well tolerated renal replacement therapy for a wide spectrum of kidney diseases, regardless of age, even for elderly patients.]

[Menorrhagia associated with anticoagulant treatment  of young thromboembolic  female patients ]

SCHLAMMADINGER Ágota, RÁZSÓ Katalin, ILLÉS Árpád

[Venous thromboembolism can occur also at young age and needs long-term anticoagulant treatment in specific cases. How­ever, young women on anticoagulant therapy face special problems. One of the most common ones is an increasing and often heavy menstrual bleeding, which may re­sult in anaemia. All anticoagulants can provoke menorrhagia and according to the available evidence, it is mostly associated with administration of activated factor X-in­hibitors. Its management requires cooperation of gynaecologists and haematologists. Most cases are well controlled by adjusting the anticoagulant therapy, using hormonal therapy orally or via intrauterine device or administration of antifibrinolytic agents. However, some cases require surgical treatment. While caring for these pa­tients, it is essential to explore the problem by taking accurate history and adequate la­boratory tests, to modify the treatment and supplement the loss of iron alleviating this way the symptoms and improving the pa­tient’s quality of life as well. ]

OZGE OCEK, DERYA GUNER

We aimed to investigate the difference of clinical and electrophysiological improvement between perineural corticosteroid injection therapy and perineural 5% dextrose injection therapy in carpal tunnel syndrome. Total of 92 wrists that were diagnosed as mild-to-moderate idiopathic CTS and completed their follow-up were included in our study. The severity of pain, symptom severity and functional status were assessed by visual analog scale.
