    Abstract Background: Patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) undergoing maintenance hemodialysis have a poor prognosis and limited treatment options.
    Methods: This paper outlines the impact of COVID-19, its treatment, and the efficacy of vaccines in Japanese patients undergoing hemodialysis with a review of the literature.
    Results: Patients undergoing dialysis in dialysis facilities are at greater risk of exposure to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 than the general population due to limited isolation capabilities. Therefore, vaccines are expected to be effective for patients undergoing dialysis. In addition, effective use of available medications is important because treatment options are limited.
    Conclusions: Efforts should be made to prevent the spread of the infection to high-risk patients undergoing dialysis while ensuring the effective use of vaccines.

    Abstract The clinical use of direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) for hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection has dramatically changed management of patients with HCV liver disease since 2014; this is also true for patients undergoing dialysis. Due to the high tolerability and antiviral efficacy of anti-HCV therapy, most dialysis patients with HCV infection should currently be candidates for this treatment. Many patients with HCV antibodies no longer have HCV infection, and it is difficult to identify patients with actual HCV infection based only on HCV antibody assays. Despite the high rate of successful HCV eradication, the risk of liver-related events such as hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the major complication of HCV infection, persists even after HCV cure, and patients at risk of HCC should undergo continuous HCC surveillance. Finally, the rarity of HCV reinfection and the survival benefit of HCV eradication in dialysis patients should be explored in further studies.

    Abstract: Since 2014, all-oral, interferon (IFN)-free, direct-acting antiviral (DAA) regimens including daclatasvir + asunaprevir dual regimen, ledipasvir/sofosbuvir combination, ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir combination, elbasvir + grazoprevir dual regimen, ... ...

    Abstract Since 2014, all-oral, interferon (IFN)-free, direct-acting antiviral (DAA) regimens including daclatasvir + asunaprevir dual regimen, ledipasvir/sofosbuvir combination, ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir combination, elbasvir + grazoprevir dual regimen, and glecaprevir/pibrentasvir combination have been approved for the treatment of hepatitis C. Studies on DAA regimens reported that DAA therapy causes far fewer adverse reactions compared with IFN therapy and exhibits high efficacy in treating hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in hemodialysis patients, although the ledipasvir/sofosbuvir combination cannot be used for dialysis patients because sofosbuvir is contraindicated for patients with estimated glomerular filtration rate of <30 mL/min/1.73 m2. Since the safety of DAA therapy in elderly patients has also been confirmed, there is basically no age limit for the use of DAAs. The time has come for any hemodialysis patient to receive effective treatment for curing HCV infection.
    Background: The prevalence of HCV infection among dialysis patients in Japan was as high as 6.2% as of 2015. However, numerous patients are left untreated because of the limited efficacy of and adverse reactions caused by IFN.
    Summary: In Japan, the approval of an all-oral, IFN-free, DAA regimen in 2014 marked a paradigm shift for the treatment of HCV infection in patients with dialysis. DAA therapy causes far fewer adverse reactions compared with IFN therapy and has been reported to be highly effective in treating HCV infection in hemodialysis patients. Key Messages: A remarkable progress in HCV treatment has allowed all patients with chronic hepatitis C to receive effective therapies to cure the disease.

    Abstract The Japanese government recommended hospitalization of patients on dialysis once they tested positive because of their high COVID-19 mortality rate and definite need for periodic dialysis. However, after experiencing the Delta variant surge, strategic changes towards outpatient care for mild or asymptomatic cases, along with strengthening emergency preparedness were needed. Facing the Omicron surge, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government introduced two novel schemes:

    Abstract Introduction: Vascular access usage varies widely across countries. Previous studies have evaluated the association of clinical outcomes with the three types of vascular access, namely, arteriovenous fistula (AVF), arteriovenous graft (AVG), and tunneled and cuffed central venous catheter (TC-CVC). However, little is known regarding the association between arterial superficialization (AS) and the mortality of patients.
    Methods: A nationwide cohort study was conducted using data from the Japanese Society for Dialysis Therapy Renal Data Registry (2006-2007). We included patients aged ≥20 years undergoing hemodialysis with a dialysis vintage ≥6 months. The exposures of interest were the four types of vascular access: AVF, AVG, AS, and TC-CVC. Cox proportional hazard models were used to evaluate the associations of vascular access types with 1-year all-cause and cause-specific mortality.
    Results: A total of 183,490 maintenance hemodialysis patients were included: 90.7% with AVF, 6.9% with AVG, 2.0% with AS, and 0.4% with TC-CVC. During the 1-year follow-up period, 13,798 patients died. Compared to patients with AVF, those with AVG, AS, and TC-CVC had a significantly higher risk of all-cause mortality after adjustment for confounding factors: adjusted hazard ratios (95% confidence intervals) - 1.30 (1.20-1.41), 1.56 (1.39-1.76), and 2.15 (1.77-2.61), respectively. Similar results were obtained for infection-related and cardiovascular mortality.
    Conclusion: This nationwide cohort study conducted in Japan suggested that AVF usage may have the lowest risk of all-cause mortality. The study also suggested that the usage of AS may be associated with better survival rates compared to those of TC-CVC in patients who are not suitable for AVF or AVG.
