Predialysis nephrology care and its impact on initial vascular access type in hemodialysis patients in Jordan.
In conclusion, our study suggests that a large percentage did not have nephrology care before initiating dialysis. The ones who were seen by nephrology before dialysis were significantly more likely to initiate dialysis using an AVF. A national focus on improving nephrology referral in advanced CKD may allow better utilization of AVF as the method of access at dialysis initiation.

Evaluation of the relationship between blood cell parameters and vascular calcification in dialysis-dependent end-stage renal disease patients.
Abstract
Coronary artery calcification is an acceptable tool for cardiovascular risk assessment in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) population. We aimed to identify the association and predictive value of components of blood cell parameters with coronary and thoracic aorta vascular calcification (VC) in ESRD population on dialysis. All ESRD patients receiving hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis aged between 18 and 60 years were included in the study. Exclusion criteria comprised patients with active infection or inflammatory disease, autoimmune disease, congestive heart failure, angina pectoris and/or documented cor...

Prevalence of micro and macro vascular complications and their risk factors in type 2 diabetes in Saudi Arabian population: an analysis from SHIS
CONCLUSIONS: The high prevalence of microvascular and macrovascular complications in diabetic patients poses a serious threat to public health in Saudi Arabia. A multisectoral approach needs to be undertaken to properly control and modify common risk factors at the community level.PMID:34227065 | DOI:10.26355/eurrev_202106_26137

Hemodialysis delivery, dialysis dose achievement, and vascular access types in hemodialysis patients from the Gulf Cooperation Council countries enrolled in the dialysis outcomes and practice patterns study phase 5 (2012-2015).
Abstract
The prospective observational Dialysis Outcomes and Practice Patterns Study (DOPPS) was initiated in late 2012 in national samples of hemodialysis (HD) units (n = 41 study sites) in all six Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries (Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates). For many years, guidelines have recommended single pool Kt/V ≥1.2 as the minimum adequate dose for chronic HD patients. Here, we report initial DOPPS results regarding HD practices related to dialysis dose achievement in the GCC. A total of 928 adult HD patients were included in this analysis from 41 c...

Management of Patient Flow in Vascular and Interventional Radiology During MERS-CoV Outbreak
In 2015, an outbreak of Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus occurred in Saudi Arabia and necessitated special measures to be implemented to control the spread of the virus. In this article, we will discuss how the outbreak was managed in the vascular and interventional radiology (VIR) suite in a large tertiary care hospital in Saudi Arabia. Various measures were taken to reduce the risk of transmission of infection. Unit-level education played an important role in the care of patients. A hospital-wide educational program was implemented to ensure zero transmission of infection.
