Pre-existing arterial pathologic changes affecting arteriovenous fistula patency and cardiovascular mortality in hemodialysis patients
Ja Young Lee, Young Ok Kim
Korean J Intern Med. 2017;32(5):790-797. Published online August 22, 2017
The radiocephalic arteriovenous fistula (AVF) provides optimal vascular access for hemodialysis; it has a higher long-term patency rate and fewer complications than other vascular access methods. However, the AVF has a high primary failure rate. The presence of small-diameter vessels at anastomosis ..

The impact of blood flow rate during hemodialysis on all-cause mortality
Kyung Yoon Chang, Su-Hyun Kim, Young Ok Kim, Dong Chan Jin, Ho Chul Song, Euy Jin Choi, Yong-Lim Kim, Yon-Su Kim, Shin-Wook Kang, Nam-Ho Kim, Chul Woo Yang, Yong Kyun Kim
Korean J Intern Med. 2016;31(6):1131-1139. Published online February 22, 2016
Background/Aims: Inadequacy of dialysis is associated with morbidity and mortality in chronic hemodialysis (HD) patients. Blood flow rate (BFR) during HD is one of the important determinants of increasing dialysis dose. However, the optimal BFR is unclear. In this study, we investigated the impact o..

Angiotensin III increases monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 expression in cultured human proximal tubular epithelial cells
Hyung Wook Kim, Young Ok Kim, Sun Ae Yoon, Jeong-Sun Han, Hyun-Bae Chun, Young Soo Kim
Korean J Intern Med. 2016;31(1):116-124. Published online December 28, 2015
Background/Aims: We investigated whether angiotensin III (Ang III) is involved in monocyte recruitment through regulation of the chemokine monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) in cultured human proximal tubular epithelial cells (HK-2 cells).
Methods: We measured MCP-1 levels in HK-2 cells tha..

The impact of high-flux dialysis on mortality rates in incident and prevalent hemodialysis patients
Hyung Wook Kim, Su-Hyun Kim, Young Ok Kim, Dong Chan Jin, Ho Chul Song, Euy Jin Choi, Yong-Lim Kim, Yon-Su Kim, Shin-Wook Kang, Nam-Ho Kim, Chul Woo Yang, Yong Kyun Kim
Korean J Intern Med. 2014;29(6):774-784. Published online October 31, 2014
Background/Aims: The effect of high-flux (HF) dialysis on mortality rates could vary with the duration of dialysis. We evaluated the effects of HF dialysis on mortality rates in incident and prevalent hemodialysis (HD) patients.
Methods: Incident and prevalent HD patients were selected from the Cli..
