Abstract Background: End-stage renal disease is an irreversible and progressive loss of kidney function and it can be fatal without hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis or kidney transplantation. Hemodialysis is a type of treatment where the patient is connected to a machine through a catheter via veins for twice or three times a week for approximately four hours. Alternatively, peritoneal dialysis is carried out with a plastic catheter insertion into the abdomen through which dialysis fluid (glucose) enters and is taken out. This study aimed to discover, analyze, interpret and compare end-stage renal disease patient's satisfaction with hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis with an emphasis on complications and problems that was created during dialysis treatment.Methods: this study a qualitative exploratory approach was used at Shiraz hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis centers 2017-2018. In these centers there were 345 ESRD patients who were receiving dialysis. A purposeful sample of 35 hemodialysis and 30 peritoneal dialysis patients were interviewed. The data were collected through interview. Each session lasted for 50 minutes. Initially 12 open-ended questions were developed and used to stimulate discussions in sessions. Directed content analysis was used for analyzing the transcribed data. After giving a code to each line or incidence, codes were then compared for similarity and differences, merged together, and categorized. Results: Themes of Fatigue experience, Insomnia, Wasting time, Travel and leisure time activities limitations, Hypotension, Dissatisfaction and satisfaction with hemodialysis, Peritoneal catheter problems, peritoneal dialysis difficulties and limitations, satisfaction from peritoneal dialysis emerged. Each dialysis method has its own problems. Some problems and limitations were more emphasized on by patients. Conclusion: Each dialysis method has its own problems. Some problems and limitations were more emphasized on by patients.

Background/Aims: Few published data describe survival rates for pediatric end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. We aimed to describe one-year mortality rates for US pediatric ESRD patients over a 15-year period. Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, we used the US Renal Data System database to identify period-prevalent cohorts of patients aged younger than 19 for each year during the period 1995-2010. Yearly cohorts averaged approximately 1,200 maintenance dialysis patients (60% hemodialysis, 40% peritoneal dialysis) and 1,100 transplant recipients. Patients were followed for up to 1 year and censored at change in modality, loss to follow-up, or death. We calculated the unadjusted model-based mortality rates per time at risk, within each cohort year, by treatment modality (hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, transplant) and patient characteristics; percentage of deaths by cause; and overall adjusted odds of mortality by characteristics and modality. Results: Approximately 50% of patients were in the age group 15-18, 55% were male, and 45% were female. The most common causes of ESRD were congenital/reflux/obstructive causes (55%) and glomerulonephritis (30%). One-year mortality rates showed evidence of a decrease in the number of peritoneal dialysis patients (6.03 per 100 patient-years, 1995; 2.43, 2010; p = 0.0263). Mortality rates for transplant recipients (average 0.68 per 100 patient-years) were consistently lower than the rates for all dialysis patients (average 4.36 per 100 patient-years). Conclusions: One-year mortality rates differ by treatment modality in pediatric ESRD patients.

At 31 December 2005, the number of patients on maintenance dialysis in Japan was 257,765, with 9599 patients having started dialysis that year. Kidney transplant cases in Japan number about 1000 annually. Thus, almost all end-stage renal disease patients in Japan are likely to live on dialysis for the remainder of their lives. For various reasons, peritoneal dialysis has a lower penetration rate among Japanese dialysis patients, and work to educate patients and nephrologists about PD needs to be done.

Chronic Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis

Pakistan has an estimated population of 212 million while the incidence of end stage renal disease in Pakistan is 100 patients per million; hence approximately 22,000 patients require maintenance dialysis to sustain life in our country. Remarkably peritoneal dialysis (PD) as a form of maintenance renal replacement is utilized in less than one per cent of these patients.  In the absence of a formal dialysis registry, we place the total number of chronic ambulatory peritoneal dialysis patients (CAPD) in Pakistan at approximately 76 excluding holiday patients who are visiting from abroad (*This figure was estimated by enquiring the total number of patients each PD units care in Pakistan. This figure was corroborated with the sole distributor of CAPD fluids in Pakistan.).

Objectives Dental problems occur widely in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and may increase comorbidities. Root canal therapy (RCT) is a common procedure for advanced decayed caries with pulp inflammation and root canals. However, end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients are considered to have a higher risk of potentially life-threatening infections after treatment and might fail to receive satisfactory dental care such as RCT. We investigated whether appropriate intervention for dental problems had a potential impact among dialysis patients. Design Men and women who began maintenance dialysis (hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis) between January 1, 2000, and December 31, 2015, in Taiwan (total 12,454 patients) were enrolled in this study. Participants were followed up from the first reported dialysis date to the date of death or end of dialysis by December 31, 2015. Setting Data collection was conducted in Taiwan. Results A total of 2633 and 9821 patients were classified into the RCT and non-RCT groups, respectively. From the data of Taiwan’s National Health Insurance, a total of 5,092,734 teeth received RCT from 2000 to 2015. Then, a total of 12,454 patients were followed within the 16 years, and 4030 patients passed away. The results showed that members of the non-RCT group (34.93%) had a higher mortality rate than those of the RCT group (22.79%; p = 0.001). The multivariate-adjusted hazard ratio for the risk of death was 0.69 (RCT vs. non-RCT; p = 0.001). Conclusions This study suggested that patients who had received RCT had a relatively lower risk of death among dialysis patients. Infectious diseases had a significant role in mortality among dialysis patients with non-RCT. Appropriate interventions for dental problems may increase survival among dialysis patients.
