Persistent Symptomatic Hyponatremia Post-COVID-19 A Complex Case Study

—

by

Introduction: Hyponatremia, a common electrolyte disturbance, has been increasingly reported in patients recovering from COVID-19. Studies suggest that COVID-19-associated hyponatremia can be linked to acute kidney injury, the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH), or secondary infections. This case study explores a 77-year-old patient with persistent symptomatic hyponatremia post-COVID-19, highlighting the multifactorial etiology and…

A Predictive Tool for Arteriovenous Fistula Maturation Failure in Hemodialysis Patients

—

by

Introduction: For patients undergoing hemodialysis, a native arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is the preferred vascular access due to its cost-effectiveness and longevity. However, AVFs often fail to mature properly, leading to complications and increased healthcare costs. Recent research suggests that bioelectrical impedance phase angle (PA) measurement may serve as a reliable predictor of AVF maturation failure.…
