antibiotics during hemodialysis

t close properly, and he had a defibulator put in about three months ago. He has been on hemodialysis for 9 years. He has just finished 6 weeks of IV antibiotics for an infection that attached to his arotic valve and also in the lining of his heart. Dr. says the vegetation is still attached to the arotic valve however the infection seems to be cleared up. My husband's heart is to weak and worn to survive any kind of surgery to remove the vegetation.

org/tests-procedures/peritoneal-dialysis/basics/definition/prc-20013164 Peritoneal dialysis (per-ih-tuh-NEE-ul di-AL-uh-sis) is a way to remove waste products from your blood when your kidneys can no longer do the job adequately. During peritoneal dialysis, blood vessels in your abdominal lining (peritoneum) fill in for your kidneys, with the help of a fluid (dialysate) that flows into and out of the peritoneal space.

We have assessed the persistence of HCV in 26 kidney-transplant patients, followed up for 10.5 years (range 2-16), after HCV elimination while on hemodialysis. If HCV really did persist, arising out of the loss of immune control caused by institution of the regimen of immunosuppressive drugs after kidney transplantation, HCV reactivation would have taken place. Their immunosuppression relied on calcineurin inhibitors (100%), and/or steroids (62%), and/or antimetabolites (94%).

I am starting IFN (pegylated alpha 2a) next week. Because I am on home hemodialysis for ESRD caused by diabetes - now well controlled, I can't use Riba and I am interested if there is any efficacy studies on supplementing with l glutathione, naringenin, Nac or one of the plethora of substances I've read about in Professional Journals on the net. Worried about the drug interractions/?kidney clearance of naringenin. Phosphatidyl choline??

Patients with occult HCV infection had spent a significantly longer time on hemodialysis and had significantly higher mean alanine aminotransferase levels during the 6 mo before study entry. Logistic regression analysis revealed that mortality was associated with age >60 yr (odds ratio 3.30; 95% confidence interval 1.05 to 10.33) and the presence of occult HCV infection (odds ratio 3.84; 95% confidence interval 1.29 to 11.43).

My husband has ESRD, has been having home hemodialysis for 9 months, and is listed for a kidney transplant. After he went on dialysis his urine production slowed down to twice a day which I was told is expected. For the last few days he has almost gotten back to his normal urine production.

I just found out December 2011 that I only had one during other tests unrelated. For the past year an a half I have had right side pain in the area of my good, functioning kidney. I have had blood tests, CT scans, ultrasounds, visits to nephrologists, urologists, etc...I was put on Cipro even though no infection was found just in case...All tests report a good healthy functioning kidney...all tests were perfect except the left missing kidney...has anyone had similar expeience?

How safe are antibiotics during the first trimester? I was prescribed azithromycin before i new i was pregnant.. I have a throat infection and i am afraid to take the meds.. But i wa reading that if the infection isnt cleared it can go to the baby..

Definitely take the antibiotics. Uti is something that needs antibiotics to cure and if it goes untreated then can develop into a kidney problem which in some cases can cause early labour. Much safer to take the meds. I've been on the same antibiotics twice during this pregnancy and am now 36+ weeks and baby is perfectly healthy.

Yes, my Dr gave me antibiotics for uti...I have had 2 so far during my pregnancy...yuck!

Does she like to read, watch tv, play games, etc? All of these things can be done during dialysis and seem to make the time pass faster. There is a variation of dialysis that "might" help. If someone was to train to give home hemodialysis, then the amount of time per day could possibly be cut down to 2 hours. Of course she would have to do it everyday, intstead of 3 days a week.

im assuming your Dr was aware that your pregnant when he prescribed them? just saying there are different kinds of antibiotics and some are considered safe while preg and others are avoided...

I had illness second during 2nd test but fine during first test. Is this anything to be concerned about? I have read that this can happen, but a lot of the articles relate it to a autoimmune illnesses! Trying to move on, as Teak in earlier post had answered my query on oral sex, but these tests have confused my thinking. Would appreciate more knowledgeable people in this particular field, to give me there views.

Left untreated it can travel to the kidneys and cause a kidney infection that can be dangerous to both you and your child. Amoxicillin is one of the most widely prescribed antibiotics during pregnancy and has not been shown to cause any harm to a human fetus. Take the medication to clear up the infection, the last thing you want is for it to get worse.

Your doctor is aware of your pregnancy and some antibiotics are perfectly safe during pregnancy. Best to work with your doctor and follow their guidance. Wishing you a quick recovery and easy rest of your pregnancy.

If it ends in cillin.... its a no no for me so I have had to have some pretty funky antibiotics during all 3 of my pregnancies. .

They say its a class B which means there arent any studies whether its safe or not. 16wks and have a sinus infection and I'm wondering has anyone taken a Z-pack for antibiotics and had any complications?

I took keflex and it made me break out in hives due to my pregnancy some antibiotics are safe during pregnancy that's one of them

unless you have an implant there for hemodialysis.. but make sure you sleep comfortably,, positon on the bed on your comfortable position..

I was just on 16 days of 3 very strong antibiotics. Dr's are very cautious when prescribing meds during pregnancy.
