    Abstract Background: Dialyzer reprocessing for dialyzer reuse in the same patient has been developed since the early time in hemodialysis history to save cost and time related to reassembling the new dialyzer during that time. The procedure can reduce the first-use and allergic reactions from using incompatible cellulosic dialyzer membrane by altering some manufacturing chemicals.
    Methods: All of established literatures regarding recent dialyzer reprocessing methods and considerations were extensively reviewed and summarized.
    Results: Dialyzer reprocessing can be performed by multiple protocols but involves common steps including bedside rinsing after use, cleaning, dialyzer testing to prevent excessive drop in dialyzer clearance and membrane integrity, high-level disinfection or sterilization either by chemicals or heat, storage, and preparation for subsequent dialysis session by adequate rinsing to reduce the residual reprocessing chemical to the safe level. Compared with the single-use strategy, evidence is conflicting for the mortality advantages or disadvantages of dialyzer reuse, with some showing increased mortality in patients receiving peracetic acid sterilization. Keys for the effective and safe dialyzer reuse involve strict adherence to specific manufacturer's protocol, adequate dialysis water quality complied with the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation standard, measurement of the total cell volume to prevent inadequate hemodialysis, and infectious control consideration. In the present era, single-use strategy is increasingly adopted due to the decreased cost for dialyzer manufacturing. Environmental concerns of higher solid waste from dialyzer disposal in single-use dialysis should be compared with the liquid waste from reprocessing chemicals along with plastic waste and cardboard in reuse dialysis.
    Conclusion: Dialyzer reprocessing with adequate regulation is considered as an acceptable option for cost-effective hemodialysis, compared with the single-use strategy.

    Abstract Managing mixed acid-base disorders can be diagnostically challenging, particularly when metabolic acidosis and metabolic alkalosis occur simultaneously. When dealing with metabolic alkalosis, a comprehensive approach involves taking a detailed medical history, assessing volume status, and performing urine chloride analysis. Routine calculation of the anion gap is important to identify masked wide anion gap metabolic acidosis. We report a case of a 32-year-old female with type 1 diabetes mellitus, presented with intractable vomiting for 2 days with hyperglycemia, hypokalemia, and metabolic alkalosis, along with a wide anion gap. She was diagnosed with "diabetic ketoalkalosis" due to diabetic ketoacidosis combined with vomiting-induced metabolic alkalosis. She became clinically stable after resuscitation with normal saline, intravenous potassium, and intravenous insulin.

    Abstract Severe hyponatremia is associated with neurological impairment and mortality. Furthermore, severe hyponatremia can be the first presentation of several diseases. Therefore, an appropriate investigation for the underlying causes of hyponatremia apart from the proper correction of sodium levels, might lead to a diagnosis of occult diseases.

    Abstract In slowing kidney progression, numerous pre-dialysis chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients could not adhere to the well-established dietary pattern, including a very low protein diet, 0.3-0.4 g/kg/day, plus a full dose ketoanalogues (KAs) of amino acids. We evaluated the role of a low protein diet (LPD), 0.6-0.8 g/kg/day, combined with KAs (LPD-KAs) on CKD progression. We extracted data in the retrospective cohort using electronic medical records (n = 38,005). Participants with LPD-KAs for longer than six months were identified. An unmatched control group, LPD alone, was retrieved from the same database. Cox proportional hazard models were performed to examine the associations between LPD-KAs and outcomes. The primary outcome was either a rapid estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) decline > 5 mL/min/1.73m

    Abstract Background: Appropriate dialysis prescription in the transitional setting from chronic kidney disease to end-stage kidney disease is still challenging. Conventional thrice-weekly haemodialysis (HD) might be associated with rapid loss of residual kidney function (RKF) and high mortality. The benefits and risks of incremental HD compared with conventional HD were explored in this systematic review and meta-analysis.
    Methods: We searched MEDLINE, Scopus and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials up to April 2023 for studies that compared the impacts of incremental (once- or twice-weekly HD) and conventional thrice-weekly HD on cardiovascular events, RKF, vascular access complications, quality of life, hospitalization and mortality.
    Results: A total of 36 articles (138 939 participants) were included in this meta-analysis. The mortality rate and cardiovascular events were similar between incremental and conventional HD {odds ratio [OR] 0.87 [95% confidence interval (CI)] 0.72-1.04 and OR 0.67 [95% CI 0.43-1.05], respectively}. However, hospitalization and loss of RKF were significantly lower in patients treated with incremental HD [OR 0.44 (95% CI 0.27-0.72) and OR 0.31 (95% CI 0.25-0.39), respectively]. In a sensitivity analysis that included studies restricted to those with RKF or urine output criteria, incremental HD had significantly lower cardiovascular events [OR 0.22 (95% CI 0.08-0.63)] and mortality [OR 0.54 (95% CI 0.37-0.79)]. Vascular access complications, hyperkalaemia and volume overload were not statistically different between groups.
    Conclusions: Incremental HD has been shown to be safe and may provide superior benefits in clinical outcomes, particularly in appropriately selected patients. Large-scale randomized controlled trials are required to confirm these potential advantages.

    Abstract Introduction: Expanded hemodialysis (HD using a medium cut-off dialyzer [HD + MCO]) provides comparable or better removal of various uremic toxins, particularly large middle-molecule uremic toxins, than post-dilution online hemodiafiltration (olHDF). Uremic toxin-removing effectiveness between HD + MCO and mixed-dilution olHDF, one of the currently most efficient olHDF modalities, has not been assessed.
    Method: This randomized controlled trial was conducted in 14 prevalent thrice-a-week HD patients with blood flow rate above 400 mL/min. The patients were randomized into two sequences of 2-week treatment periods of HD + MCO and later mixed-dilution olHDF or vice versa. The reduction ratio (RR) values of small-molecule as well as middle-molecule uremic toxins and protein-bound uremic toxins were measured at baseline and at the end of the treatment.
    Results: When compared with mixed-dilution olHDF, HD + MCO provided slightly lower β2M RR, but the value was still higher than 75%; showed similar κFLC RR, IS RR, and URR; and yielded significantly higher RR values of α1M (p < 0.001) and λFLC (p < 0.001). Despite higher albumin loss in HD + MCO, the serum albumin levels at the end of the study were comparable between both groups.
    Conclusion: Expanded HD (HD + MCO) provided similar effectiveness in removing various uremic toxins and could exhibit greater removal of large middle-molecule uremic toxins, such as α1M and λFLC. Expanded HD can be used as an effective alternative option for mixed-dilution olHDF.

    Abstract Background: The first case of Taralomyces flavus infection in human and peritoneal dialysis (PD) patient after exposure to biocontrol agent fumes is reported here.
    Case presentation: A 77-year-old Thai female farmer with kidney failure presented with peritonitis and PD catheter obstruction from fungal biofilms. The potential root cause of infection was associated with exposure to biocontrol-agent fumes containing pathogen during agricultural work in her garden. This source of infection has not been mentioned previously. Showering and changing clothes right after outdoor activity with a high density of fungal matters or dust should be added to the routine aseptic technique before performing PD bag exchange to prevent the system contamination. Although the patient received early treatment with liposomal amphotericin B, itraconazole, and catheter removal, according to the ISPD Guideline 2016 and the Global Guideline 2021, the outcome was unfavorable. Antifungal susceptibility testing later revealed that the pathogen was only susceptible to voriconazole. Thus, antifungal susceptibility should be tested if the patient fails or slowly responds to the primary antifungal regimen.
    Conclusions: T. flavus peritonitis is reported here after exposure to biocontrol-agent fumes containing the pathogen. This work also alerts and reiterates nephrology peers to be aware of this overlooked source of peritonitis, the exposure to dusty environments, specifically containing biocontrol-agent fumes.
