This article described a qualitative study that investigated the bio-psychosocial effects of renal replacement therapy on patients in a state hospital in South Africa. The study aimed to investigate the level of debility experienced by patients undergoing haemodialysis (HD)and continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) and to explore how this debility affects their bio-psychosocial functioning. Respondents comprised a small sample of HD and CAPD patients. Using an interview schedule as the research tool allowed rich data to be uncovered. Content analysis and reducing data into themes facilitated data analysis. Although the study was not quantitative and thus did not allow for comparative analysis,themes regarding the levels of stress emerged amongst participants. The HD group voiced greater concerns regarding the degree of debility and psychosocial distress than the CAPD group. Governmental support for holistic kidney disease treatment and careful teaming of key role players to reduce the severity and far-reaching bio-psychosocial effects of HD and CAPD treatment are recommended.OpsommingHierdie artikel beskryf ‘n kwalitatiewe studie wat die bio-psigososiale effekte van niervervangingsterapie op pasiënte in ‘n staatshospitaal in Suid-Afrika ondersoek het. Die studie is gemotiveer deur die mate van debiliteit van pasiënte wat hemodialise (HD) en kontinue ambulatoriese peritoneale dialise (KAPD) ondergaan en wat oënskynlik verder strek as bloot die fisieke aspekte van die siekte en die behandeling daarvan. Respondente het bestaan uit ‘n klein groep HD- en KAPD-pasiënte. Deur ‘n onderhoudskedule as die navorsingsinstrument te gebruik, is ryk data onthul. Inhoudanalise en die redusering van data tot temas het die data-analise gefasiliteer. Alhoewel die studie nie kwantitatief was nie en vergelykende analise dus nie moontlik was nie, het temas van spanning onder die respondente voorgekom. Dit was duidelik uit die onderhoude met albei pasiëntgroepe en inhoudanalise dat die HD-groep meer bekommernis oor die graad van debiliteit en psigososiale stres getoon het as die KAPD-groep.Regeringsondersteuning vir holistiese nierbehandeling en versigtige samestelling van ‘n span sleutelrolspelers vir die vermindering van die erns en verreikende gevolge van HD en KAPD word voorgestel.

Aim. To assess the state of the organ of vision in patients with end-stage chronic renal failure, who are on renal replacement therapy with hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. Methods. Examined were 35 patients with end-stage chronic renal failure. The first group consisted of 20 patients receiving renal replacement therapy with hemodialysis, the second group consisted of 15 patients treated with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis. In addition to the standard ophthalmologic techniques (visual acuity, tonography, perimetry, biomicroscopy and ophthalmoscopy) conducted were optical coherence tomography and photographic imaging of the retina. The following data were also taken into account: arterial blood pressure, blood hemoglobin, creatinine and urea levels and indicators of phosphorus-calcium metabolism. Results. Regardless of the method of blood dialysis of all patients had decreased corrected visual acuity. In the patients of the first group it was 0.88±0.13, in the second group - 0.71±0.19. Also in both groups revealed was a concentric narrowing of the visual fields by 5-10%. Conclusion. In patients on hemodialysis, revealed was more severe course of retinopathy; in patients on continuous peritoneal dialysis, the most frequently encountered was swelling of the retina, metastatic calcification manifested to a lesser extent.

Esrd Patients

Expenses for the treatment of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients with dialysis renal replacement therapy (DRRT) during the 2018 year constituted 2 billion 922 million 460 thousand UAH. Reimbursement from the state budget constituted 1 billion 44 million 800 thousand UAH. Expendable materials were the main component of DRRT. The share of the expendable materials price from total cost for hemodialysis and hemodiafiltration constituted 66%, for continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis and automatic peritoneal dialysis was 86.3% and 92.2%, respectively. The results of the investigation can be used for the development of a diversification model (state budget – local budgets – other sources) of financial expenses for the provision of dialysis treatment in ESRD patients as a part of the state program (strategy) health care finance and service delivery.
