Article Abstract
Several previous case reports have shown that patients with immunoglobulin D (IgD) multiple myeloma (MM) can be withdrawn from hemodialysis, however, the characteristics that can predict withdrawal in these patients have not yet been elucidated. A 57-year-old Japanese woman required hemodialysis because of renal dysfunction due to IgD-λ and Bence Jones protein-λ MM. Bortezomib-based chemotherapy nine days after admission led to her withdrawal from hemodialysis on Day 50. In our case-based review, younger age and early initiation of bortezomib-based chemotherapy emerged as possible predictors of successful hemodialysis withdrawal.

Background: Cardiac troponin T is often elevated in hemodialysis patients, even without apparent heart disease. Cardiac troponin T has been used to predict mortality and morbidity among asymptomatic dialysis patients. However, only a single retrospective study has reported that higher IV iron use was associated with higher troponin levels; therefore, it remains unclear whether IV iron therapy could influence troponin levels and thus affect patients’ outcomes.

Background: Hemodialysis catheter dysfunction can arise from fibrin sheath formation, leading to impaired patency and compromised treatment. Tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) is an emerging treatment option to restore catheter patency. This study evaluated the efficacy of tPA therapy and explored clinical and demographic risk factors for catheter dysfunction.

Renal failure is considered a life-limiting CONDITION that often requires Renal Replacement Therapy, such as dialysis or kidney transplantation. Dialysis can effectively relieve symptoms and prolong life, but its withdrawal results in severe complications and death. The decision to discontinue or refuse to dialysis must be made collaboratively by the patient, family, and healthcare team, considering the clinical condition, life expectancy, symptom burden, and individual preferences.
