Prospective study of change in skin autofluorescence over time and mortality in people receiving hemodialysis (2024)
Journal Article
Viramontes-Hörner, D., Selby, N. M., & Taal, M. W. (2024). Prospective study of change in skin autofluorescence over time and mortality in people receiving hemodialysis. Kidney International Reports, 9(7), 2110-2116. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ekir.2024.03.020

Introduction: Elevated skin autofluorescence (SAF), a measure of tissue accumulation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs), is a strong predictor of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in the hemodialysis population. However, prospective studi... Read More about Prospective study of change in skin autofluorescence over time and mortality in people receiving hemodialysis.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is associated with adverse long-term outcomes, but many studies are retrospective, focused on specific patient groups or lack adequate comparators. The ARID (AKI Risk in Derby) Study was a five-year prospective parallel-grou...

Impact of malnutrition on health-related quality of life in persons receiving dialysis: a prospective study (2021)
Journal Article
Viramontes-Hörner, D., Pittman, Z., Selby, N. M., & Taal, M. W. (2022). Impact of malnutrition on health-related quality of life in persons receiving dialysis: a prospective study. British Journal of Nutrition, 127(11), 1647-1655. https://doi.org/10.1017/S000711452100249X

Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is severely impaired in persons receiving dialysis. Malnutrition has been associated with some measures of poor HRQoL in cross-sectional analyses in dialysis populations, but no studies have assessed the impact...
