Study Overview This study by Nielsen et al. investigates the impact of hemodialysis (HD) on the complement system, specifically focusing on the lectin pathway initiator molecules ficolins. The main strengths of the study include its large sample size of 304 HD patients and the comprehensive assessment of various complement components and functional capacities. Key Findings
Introduction: – Renal ultrasound is commonly used to assess chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. Some sonographic parameters like kidney length, cortical echogenicity, and cortical thickness correlate with renal function. – However, the accuracy of these crude parameters is limited. Weighting them towards cortical echogenicity may improve their ability to detect renal dysfunction and histological changes.
