Rheumatic complications of long term treatment with hemodialysis

Abstract: Patients undergoing hemodialysis therapy develop serious osteoarticular diseases. The treatment is based on prevention. The aim of our study is to determine the frequency and the associated factors to the rheumatic manifestations in hemodialysis patients. A cross-sectional study was conducted, including all hemodialysed patients in our dialysis unit. Information was obtained from patients' symptoms, examination findings, and biological and radiological signs. The frequency of symptoms was 70% in our patients. … Show more

“… 31 This observed difference could be related to be difference in eligibility criteria; in the Lebanon study, all of the participants were stage V chronic kidney disease patients, which has been a positive correlation with MSDs. 32 This discrepancy could be due to the adoption of differing definitions for musculoskeletal illnesses; in the Lebanon study, MSDs were classified according to predetermined diagnostic criteria. The difference in data collection methods could explain the discrepancy; they used a rheumatologist and additional radiographic evidence, whereas the current study used a standard Nordic musculoskeletal disorders questionnaire and chart revision from a patient’s medical record, which could explain the discrepancy.…”

“…MSK manifestations are common in patients on long-term HD, with reported frequency up to 70% [ 19 ], most of which are attributable to amyloid deposition [ 19 ]. Amyloid deposits in a variety of tissues, with a higher proclivity for bone and synovial membranes.…”

“…Interestingly, the connections with cirrhosis are variable among different rheumatic disorders. For example, the overall incidences of cirrhosis were reported to be lower in the RA cohort than in the non-RA cohort [43][44], while patients with psoriasis were found to have increased risk of cirrhosis than patients without psoriasis [44].With regard to ESRD and DM, in contrast to their negative associations with the rheumatic disorder risks, chronic kidney disease is a common complication of rheumatic disorders [45], patients undergoing hemodialysis therapy may develop serious rheumatic complications [46], newly diagnosed RA patients are at higher risk of DM [47] and the prevalence of DM is higher in patients with psoriatic arthritis compared with the general population [48]. That rheumatic disorders might be mistaken as ESRD-or DM-related complications in patients with ESRD and DM potentially explains the paradox.…”
