Abstract
(1) Background: Persons with chronic kidney disease may have sarcopenia characterized by the loss of muscle mass and loss of muscle strength. However, EWGSOP2 criteria to diagnose sarcopenia are technically challenging, especially in elderly persons on hemodialysis. Sarcopenia may be associated with malnutrition. We aimed at defining a sarcopenia index derived from malnutrition parameters for use in elderly haemodialysis patients. (2) Methods: A retrospective study of 60 patients aged 75 to 95 years treated with chronic hemodialysis was conducted. Anthropometric and analytical variables, EWGSOP2 sarcopenia criteria and other nutrition-related variables were collected. Binomial logistic regressions were used to define the combination of anthropometric and nutritional parameters that best predict moderate or severe sarcopenia according to EWGSOP2, and performance for moderate and severe sarcopenia was assessed by the area under the curve (AUC) of receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. (3) Results: The combination of loss of strength, loss of muscle mass and low physical performance correlated with malnutrition. We developed regression-equation-related nutrition criteria that predicted moderate sarcopenia (elderly hemodialysis sarcopenia index-moderate, EHSI-M) and severe sarcopenia (EHSI-S) diagnosed according to EWGSOP2 with an AUC of 0.80 and 0.866, respectively. (4) Conclusions: There is a close relationship between nutrition and sarcopenia. The EHSI may identify EWGSOP2-diagnosed sarcopenia from easily accessible anthropometric and nutritional parameters.

Abstract
Quality of vascular access (VA) has a remarkable influence in hemodialysis patients outcomes. Dysfunction of VA represents a capital cause of morbi-mortality of these patients as well an increase in economical. Spanish Society of Neprhology, aware of the problem, has decided to carry out a revision of the issue with the aim of providing help in comprehensión and treatment related with VA problems, and achieving an homogenization of practices in three mayor aspects: to increase arteriovenous fistula utilization as first vascular access, to increment vascular access monitoring practice and rationalise central catheters use. We present a consensus document elaborated by a multidisciplinar group composed by nephrologists, vascular surgeons, interventional radiologysts, infectious diseases specialists and nephrological nurses. Along six chapters that cover patient education, creation of VA, care, monitoring, complications and central catheters, we present the state of the art and propose guidelines for the best practice, according different evidence based degrees, with the intention to provide help at the professionals in order to make aproppiate decissions. Several quality standars are also included.

Abstract
Many hemodialysis patients from foreign countries arrived to be dialized in Madrid. They cames from all around the world, especially South America and Morroco. This group is younger (46.2 + 14.2 years) than the control group. Most of them initiated dialysis without a previous Nephrological check-up (62 %). In the foreign group the primary renal diseases were similar to the control group, however they also had many other health unusual problems. Most of them (71 %) started hemodialysis without ever having permanent hemodialysis vascular access, and 25 % were not able to speak spanish, or other European languages. This caused many problems in administering correct treatment.

Abstract
The viric infections influence morbi-mortality in Chronic kidney Disease patients in hemodialysis therapy and can affect to the Staff of the Units. The guides considered the most relevant virus at the present moment: C Virus, B Virus and HIV. To prevent horizontal nosocomial transmission is necessary the observance always the universal precautions in the HD units, although sometimes can appeared seroconversions and epidemic bud when exist a break of these. Is analyzed different situations with special focus in units for acute patients. The following steps under the suspicious of the epidemic bud appeared in one of the annexes together with legislation according to this case. Respect to the staff in every one of the virus is shown prevention patterns, serologic markers to perform when an accident with infected blood occur, also is considered when treatment is indicated. The guides considered too the conditions necessary for include these patients on waiting list for kidney transplantation.

Abstract
A Best Practice Guideline about Dialysis fluid purity has been developed under the leadership of the Spanish Society of Nephrology. The Guideline has established recommendations for standards for preparing dialysate: water, concentrates and hemodialysis proportioning systems. The Guideline was based on the European pharmacopoeia, the Real Farmacopea Española, the AAMI Standards and Recommended Practices, European Best Practice Guidelines for Haemodialysis (Section IV), literature reviews, according to their level of evidence, and the opinion of the expert spanish group. Two levels of quality of water were defined: purified water and high purified water (Ultra pure) and for dialysate: standard dialysate and ultra pure dialysate. Regular use of ultra pure dialysate is necessary for hemofiltration and hemodiafiltration on-line and desirable for high-flux hemodialysis to prevent and delay the occurrence of complications: inflammation, malnutrition, anemia and amyloidosis. Water, concentrates and dialysate quality requirements are defined as maximum allowable contaminant levels: chemicals (1.1.2), microbial and endotoxins: [table: see text] Monitoring frequency, maintenance and corrective actions were specified. Methods of sampling and analysis were described in appendix (Anexos). For microbiological monitoring, TSA or R2A medium are recommended, incubated during 5 days at a temperature of 30-35 degrees C. The dialysate quality assurance process involves all dialysis staff members and requires strict protocols. The physician in charge of hemodialysis has the ultimate responsibility for dialysate quality. All suggestions and questions about this Guideline are wellcome to www.senefro.org

Abstract
This study analyzes the changes in serum and urinary PSA values in 28 subjects; 13 with creatinine clearance under 75 ml/mn and 15 with creatinine clearance over 75 ml/mn. Both groups were compared for prostate size, measured by transrectal ultrasound, prostate weight, serum PSA (SPSA), 24h urine PSA (PSAO), PSA clearance (PSACl), serum creatinine (SCr), creatinine clearance (CrCl), PSA density (PSAD), PSA/creatinine ratio (PSA/Cr) and PSACl/CrCl ratio. Mean values of SPSA and PSAO were 4.5 +/- 0.8 and 222 +/- 29.7 ng/ml respectively, values for SCr, CrCl and PSACl averaging 1.62 +/- 0.2 mgr/dl, 71.6 +/- 6.5 ml/mn and 150.5 +/) 32.9 ml/mn. Median prostate size was 32.6 +/- 3.9 cc, with weights of 40.3 +/- 4.9 g and mean PSA density (PSAD) 0.13 +/- 0.02. The results of the homogeneity study showed that there are no significant differences between both groups with regard to the variables considered in the study. SPSA values were higher in patients with CrCl < 75; 3.4 vs 5.7, but not significantly. There are no significant differences between PSAO and PSACl values for both groups, even though PSAO levels were higher in patients with CrCl < 75 ml/min (p = 0.1). PSAD values for patients with CrCl > 75 ml/mn were lower than those for patients with CrCl < 75 ml/mn; 0.09 vs 0.17 (p = 0.08). In the entire sample, PSAD levels showed correlation with SPSA and PSA/Cr values; R = 0.63 (P = 0.0003) and r = 0.5 (p = 0.009) respectively. Also, they were significantly but inversely correlated with PSACl levels; r = - 0.5 (p = 0.006) and PSACl/CrCl; r = - 0.048 (p = 0.01). No correlation was seen between PSAD values and the following parameters; PSAO (p = 0.7), SCr (p = 0.5) and CrCl (p = 0.27). When the group of patients with CrCl < 75 ml/mn is considered, PSAD values are correlated exclusively with PSACl values; r = - 0.69 (p = 0.008) and PSACl/CrCl; r = 0.68 (p = 0.009). Our data appear to indicate that there is a certain relationship between PSAD and the renal function although the physiopathological mechanism responsible for that is unknown. Nevertheless, considering the sample size, more comprehensive studies will be necessary to obtain more convincing results.

Abstract
We have studied the levels of a new biochemical marker of bone resorption, carboxyterminal cross-linked telopeptide of type I collagen (ICTP), in 26 healthy control subjects, 15 patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) and 17 patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism (secondary HPT). Levels of ICTP in PHPT and secondary HPT have been correlated with those of serum tartrate resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP), another biochemical marker of bone turnover, and with serum levels of intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH). The ICTP levels of the control group were 2.07 +/- 0.58 micrograms l-1, n = 26, range 1.3-3.2. They were independent of sex and age in the studied age range (30-62 years). The ICTP levels of PHPT patients were 3.5 +/- 3.5 micrograms l-1, mean +/- SD, range 0.5-12.2 micrograms l-1, significantly higher than those of control subjects (p < 0.05). We found a significant linear correlation between values of ICTP and iPTH levels (p < 0.01), between values of ICTP and serum activity of TRAP (p < 0.01) and between iPTH and TRAP levels (p < 0.01) in patients with PHPT. The ICTP levels in patients with secondary HPT were higher than those of patients with PHPT, 46 +/- 37 micrograms l-1, range 12-167 micrograms l-1 (p < 0.001) due to the impaired renal clearance of this peptide. We did not find a significant linear correlation between values of ICTP and iPTH levels in the serum of patients with secondary HPT, although we found a significant correlation between levels of ICTP and levels of TRAP, both biochemical markers of bone turnover.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Three cases of calciphylaxis in patients with terminal renal insufficiency are discussed. The existence of metastatic calcifications, mainly vascular, in patients with chronic renal insufficiency is frequent. However calciphylaxis is a process which is rarely found in these patients. This entity is characterized by the obliteration of small vessels with ischemia and necrosis. The exceptionality of the disease, its difficult treatment and poor evolution make calciphylaxis a bad prognostic complication which should be considered in the differential diagnosis of cutaneous lesions in patients with chronic renal insufficiency.

Abstract
Denutrition of the uremic patient is a substantial contributing factor to the high rate of morbimortality. At the present time there are no resources which slow the catabolic situation conditioned by humoral or hormonal factors, but resources are available which act on the nutritional factors. The aim of this paper is to study the effect of additional administration of a complete enteral diet, but high in calories and in proteins, on the nutrition of dialysis patients. Six patients undergoing periodic hemodialysis and without metabolic illness were selected: 236 ml of the solution was administered orally on a daily basis for two months. They were studied statistically using the SIGMA Program, with application of the comparison of paired averages, the variations of anthropometric and analytical data and urea kinetics. The results revealed a significant body weight increase, from 58 to 60 kg, and of the tricipital fold from 10 to 12 cm: both variations were statistically significant (p < 0.01). There were no variations in the analytical data, or in the urea kinetics (the PCR was 0.8 g/kg/day and the Kt/V was 0.8). It is concluded that it significantly improves the nutritional state, there are no side effects and it does not detract from the efficacy of the dialysis. Therefore, and although the indication for which it was designed was for predialysis patients, we think that those under periodic hemodialysis--and, form the same reasons, acute kidney failure patients--might be areas for the use of this product.
