De diensten Algemene kinder- en vaatheelkunde en Nefrologie en infectieziekten werken nauw samen aan een innovatieve vaattoegang voor hemodialyse
Hemodialyse zuivert het bloed door middel van een kunstnier. Een goede toegangsweg tot de bloedbaan is dan ook van levensbelang…

Medical mystery: man met aneurysma van de aorta en terugkerende rugpijn
Een 66-jarige man met in de voorgeschiedenis een monoclonale gammopathie van onbepaalde betekenis (IgG-kappa) wordt verwezen wegens rugpijn. In het verleden werd hij reeds geëvalueerd omwille van pijn in de kuiten en aan de achillespezen. Onderzoek wees toen op de aanwezigheid van HLA-B27 met een positieve familiale anamnese van psoriasis artritis, maar klinisch en echografisch werden geen bijzonderheden vastgesteld en de botscan was negatief. Hij maakt regelmatig avontuurlijke reizen naar verschillende continenten en doet intensief aan wielersport. Als medicatie neemt hij enkel acetylsalicylzuur en solifenacine.
Medical mystery: hemoptoe en dyspneu
Een 22-jarige man meldt zich aan op de dienst Spoedgevallen omdat hij zich sedert een drietal weken minder goed voelt. Hij is subfebriel en heeft last van keelpijn en hoest, met af en toe een streepje bloed erbij. Zijn medische voorgeschiedenis is blanco.
Nachtelijke dialyse verbetert levenskwaliteit van nierpatiënten
Sinds mei 2004 biedt het AZ Sint-Jan AV nierpatiënten de mogelijkheid om nachtelijke dialyse te ondergaan. Hoewel de kosten van nachtdialyse voor het ziekenhuis hoger zijn dan deze van conventionele dialyse wil het ziekenhuis deze vorm van patiëntenzorg actief ondersteunen. Uit een enquête blijkt dat de patiënten er erg tevreden over zijn.
