Insulin Use

Propranolol is widely employed in hemodialysis patients for the control of renin-dependent hypertension. Infrequent reports have linked hypoglycemia and propranolol, especially in complex situations such as malnutrition, anesthesia, and excessive insulin use. Three patients on maintenance hemodialysis taking propranolol developed severe hypoglycemia resulting in cardiac arrest. The life-threatening hypoglycemia occurred without apparent precipitating cause and unaccompanied by the classical signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia. These three cases suggest that propranolol in a setting of chronic renal failure and dialysis may bring about severe hypoglycemia, a complication previously unsuspected.

Life Threatening

Background: The number of new chronic renal failure patients with hemodialysis therapy continues to increase from year to year in Indonesia. When people learn they need to begin dialysis, they typically experience a flurry of emotions. The stress is caused by chronic illness accounts for a wide range of feelings and moods. This includes general irritability, anger and frustration over the problems caused by the illness, and feelings of being hopeless and helpless when faced with a life-threatening disease. Mind-body-spirit therapy (Concepts of Islam) focuses on the ability to manage the mindset and psychic that will affect the physical, attitudes and behavior of individuals in addressing their lives. Purpose : Giving mind-body-spirit therapy to hemodialysis patients to improve quality of life, given for 4 weeks with the frequency twice a week. Methods : Pre-experimental study with one group pre-test post-test. The sample of 23 patients with hemodialysis therapy taken by purposive sampling. The FACES test is a visual analog scale representation of mood was used in this study. Early screening on mood was taken in 23 patients (13 men and 10 women, mean age 51.5 years). Mind-body-spirit therapy (Islamic concept) consisted of Tausiyah (cognitive reconstruction), prayer, dhikr and drinking zam-zam water. The mood score was evaluated at week 4 after 4 weeks of treatments. Wilcoxon test results, obtained a significance value of 0,000 (p <0,05). This suggests "there are significant differences in mood conditions before and after the Mind Body Spirit therapy intervention (Islamic Concept). Result : After the treatments, there is an increase in the mood score of hemodialysis patients. Conclusion : A mind-body-spirit therapy of 4 weeks is effective for improving the mood of patients with chronic renal failure with hemodialysis therapy

In The Beginning

Aims The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of discontinuation of losartan in response to synthetic erythropoietin therapy on hemoglobin level in patients on maintenance hemodialysis. Methods & Materials This study was a pre-and post-interventional clinical trial. The population of the study was hemodialysis patients with chronic renal failure. In the beginning of the study, and three months after removal of losartan, the patients’ hemoglobin changes were compared. Findings Hemoglobin was significantly increased at the end of the study in all patients (from 10.90±1.66 at the beginning of the study to 11.37±1.42g/dl at the end of 3 months, P=0.046). No significant changes were seen in the hemoglobin level before and after intervention between patients according age, sex, and duration of the disease. Conclusion There was a significant increase in hemoglobin level at the end of study after losartan discontinuation. But this increase did not have a significant relationship with patient’s age, sex as well as the duration of the disease.

426 Background: Patients with maintenance hemodialysis (HD) have been recognized as a high risk group for cancer. The aim of this study was to verify the incidence and oncological outcomes of patients on maintenance hemodialysis with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) compared with RCC patients without renal dysfunction. Methods: We have been carried out annual screening for renal mass for the hemodialysis patients.The oncological outcome of pT1N0M0 RCC detected by annual screening of CT imaging were retrospectively reviewed in 1217 patients with HD between January 2002 and December 2010 at Oyokyo kidney Research Institute and Hirosaki University Hospital, Hirosaki, Japan. Overall and cancer specific survival was compared with age matched 106 of pT1N0M0 RCC patients without renal dysfunction who performed radical nephrectomy at the same periods. Results: Among the hemodialysis patients, 14 RCCs were incidentally detected by screening CT examinations and RCC detection rate in HD patients was 0.27% per year. Total 119 pT1N0M0 RCC patients (13 with HD group, 106 normal kidney function group) were incidentally detected by regular abdominal CT imaging without symptoms. There were no significant differences on age and gender between HD and normal kidney function group. Cancer specific survival after tumor diagnosis was not different, but overall survivals were significantly superior in patients without renal dysfunction compared to those with chronic renal failure (P < 0.0001). Cancer specific and Overall 5-year survival was 95% and 96% in patients without renal dysfunction, 92% and 54% in those with chronic renal failure. Conclusions: There was no significant difference in cancer specific survival of pT1 RCC between the two groups. However, overall survival was significantly worse in HD patients. Oncological effectiveness of annual CT screening for the HD patients was not evident in the present retrospective study.

Guanidine Derivatives

Abstract Guanidine derivatives are suspected of contributing to the toxic manifestations of uremia. We describe a method for measurement of guanidine derivatives in 5-ml samples of plasma by liquid chromatography. Concentrations of guanidinosuccinate and guanidinobutyrate in plasma were significantly increased both in undialyzed patients with chronic renal failure (5.54 +/- 0.94 and 17.5 +/- 4.07 mg/liter) and those undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (2.35 +/- 0.41 and 19.4 +/- 3.99 mg/liter) when compared to healthy controls (less than 0.4 and 1.0 +/- 0.3 mg/liter, respectively). Creatine and guanidinoacetate concentrations tended to be higher in hemodialysis patients and lower in the undialyzed group of patients with chronic renal failure. This procedure provides a rapid, sensitive, and accurate method for the study of guanidine metabolism in persons with uremia.

A hemodialysis unit was established at a rural summer camp for children. Required medical treatment was planned so as to interfere as little as possible with normal camp programs. Campers who require dialysis were mixed fully into the population of normal campers. Twenty-two children participated during the first summer of operation. Our experience indicates that children on maintenance hemodialysis can be integrated with normal peers in a recreational program and can improve their self-image and self-confidence. The program also demonstrates that chronic pediatric hemodialysis can be safely performed in a rural satellite unit.
