However, the creation of AVFs has become increasingly challenging due to the rising prevalence of chronic diseases like diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular conditions, which are leading causes of end-stage renal disease (ESRD). These comorbidities, coupled with the aging dialysis population, have led to an increase in peripheral vascular diseases, complicating AVF management. This paper discusses two major complications of AVFs: Hemodialysis Access-Induced Distal Ischemia (HAIDI) and high-flow AVFs. HAIDI is characterized by ischemia in extremities due to reduced capillary perfusion, potentially leading to severe outcomes such as tissue necrosis and digital amputations. Approximately 5% of hemodialysis patients with AVFs develop HAIDI, necessitating corrective treatment. High-flow AVFs, defined by excessive blood flow that disrupts overall circulatory dynamics, pose another significant challenge, particularly in patients with cardiovascular compromise. The management of these complications is complex and often requires specialized techniques to preserve the AVF and avoid its closure. This review presents both surgical and endovascular techniques aimed at reducing AVF flow and improving distal perfusion. Techniques discussed include vein approach like ligation, plication, banding, prosthetic graft interposition, and various arterial interventions like distal radial artery ligation and embolization. Additionally, the review presents techniques for anastomosis remodeling, offering innovative approaches to managing AVF complications. The review concludes with a proposed decision-making algorithm to guide clinicians in selecting appropriate interventions based on the specific AVF-related complications, ensuring optimal outcomes for hemodialysis patients. This comprehensive overview highlights the importance of individualized treatment strategies in the management of AVF complications.</p>","PeriodicalId":12553,"journal":{"name":"Giornale italiano di nefrologia : organo ufficiale della Societa italiana di nefrologia","volume":"42 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143536962","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Patients undergoing dialysis treatment have a long and complex clinical path and the nurse is required to express clinical decisions balancing the obligations of care not only towards patients and family members, but also towards himself and the organization. It therefore happens that the nurse finds himself in situations in which he is not able to translate his moral beliefs into ethically concrete actions causing a sense of anguish and frustration. <b>Objective.</b> To identify and describe the predisposing factors and strategies to address the phenomenon of Moral Distress in nurses who work in dialysis. <b>Method.</b> A literature review was conducted from 01/01/2024 to 09/30/2024 by consulting four databases: PubMed, Embase, CINAHL and Scopus. The study included primary experimental, quasi-experimental, observational, qualitative studies and secondary studies such as reviews, meta-analyses and scoping reviews, which described the phenomenon of Moral distress, its predisposing factors and the related strategies to deal with it in the context of dialysis. <b>Results.</b> The studies confirmed that the phenomenon of Moral Distress is very prevalent in the context of dialysis. The predisposing factors are related to: direct assistance with the dialysis patient (a), the work and organizational context (b) hierarchical barriers and impaired communication between nurses and the ward team (c). The strategies used suggest promoting the well-being of dialysis nursing staff; strategies such as: open communication with patients and relatives; opening of services that provide support on ethical reasoning and stress management; implementation of training activities regarding palliative care and end-of-life management. <b>Discussion.</b> Moral distress causes nursing staff working in dialysis to feel helpless, which can evolve into emotional exhaustion with physical and psychological repercussions that can affect the quality of care provided and increase abandonment of the profession. <b>Conclusions.</b> This literature review has identified the factors that determine the onset of Moral distress in the context of dialysis with the aim of outlining strategies to limit this phenomenon.

The conventional course of treatment has traditionally used ESAs (erythropoiesis-stimulating agents) such as erythropoietin; however, more recent medications, such as Desidustat, a hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl hydroxylase inhibitor (HIF-PHI), may be more advantageous in terms of both efficacy and cost. In this study, CKD patients receiving hemodialysis are compared for efficacy, safety, and cost-effectiveness between Desidustat and erythropoietin treatment. <b>Methods.</b> This prospective, single-center, open-label study with parallel groups was carried out at Saveetha Institute of Medical Sciences in Chennai. A total of 60 patients with CKD on maintenance hemodialysis were randomized to receive either Desidustat (100 mg orally, 3 times a week) or Erythropoietin (subcutaneous injections) for 12 weeks. At baseline, four weeks, eight weeks, and 12 weeks, hemoglobin levels, biomarkers (TSAT, ferritin, and hepcidin), and status of physical and mental health had been noted. The key finding was the proportion of hemoglobin responders (defined as a rise from baseline of ≥1g/dL). Secondary outcomes included predictors of hemoglobin response, adverse effects, and cost-effectiveness. <b>Results.</b> The proportion of hemoglobin responders was 83.33% in the Desidustat compared to 73.33% in the Erythropoietin group (p = 0.530), indicating no significant difference in efficacy. Hemoglobin levels increased gradually in both groups over 12 weeks. Higher serum albumin (OR = 3.32, 95% CI: 1.54-7.16, p = 0.008) and lower iPTH levels (OR = 0.98, 95% CI: 0.97-0.99, p = 0.004) have been important indicators of hemoglobin response. Hepcidin levels decreased significantly in the Desidustat group in contrast to Erythropoietin (p = 0.038), suggesting improved iron metabolism with Desidustat. No significant differences were noted in TSAT or ferritin levels. Adverse effects were comparable between the groups, with similar hospitalization and infection rates. Desidustat demonstrated better cost-effectiveness, with a lower monthly cost compared to Erythropoietin. <b>Conclusions.</b> When treating anemia in individuals with CKD receiving hemodialysis, Desidustat is a safe and efficient substitute for erythropoietin, with the added advantage of cost-effectiveness.

They are only rarely pathogenic to humans. There have been few cases reported of human infections, and even fewer cases of peritonitis in peritoneal dialysis. However, there is a higher risk in immunocompromised individuals. These microorganisms have the ability to form biofilms, leading to catheter-related infections, and possess intrinsic antibiotic resistance properties that are not well understood, making it challenging to identify specific therapies. We present a clinical case of a 61-year-old man undergoing automated peritoneal dialysis (APD) for end-stage renal disease due to light chain deposition disease in multiple myeloma. He was admitted to our department just over a month after starting replacement therapy due to a positive combur test and turbid fluid. The subsequent diagnosis was polymicrobial peritonitis caused by R. radiobacter and A. xylosoxidans. Despite initial empirical intraperitoneal antibiotic therapy with cefazolin and tobramycin, the treatment was optimized by introducing cefepime both intravenously and intraperitoneally, but without significant improvement. Given the diagnosis of refractory polymicrobial peritonitis, removal of the peritoneal catheter was necessary, resulting in drop-out from peritoneal dialysis. Although the outcome was unfavorable for the dialytic method, the purpose of our case report is to describe the first Italian case of peritonitis in peritoneal dialysis caused by these atypical pathogens in an immunocompromised patient.
