Stage V Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is one of the most common medical case in the world. Stage V CKD defined as a condition where the renal function decrease progressively, marked by the GFR  <15/ml/minute/1,73 m2, with or without kidney damage history for three months. Patients diagnosed with Stage V CKD often needs kidney replacement therapy, one of which is hemodialysis. The cost needed for hemodialysis was considered as too expensive, forcing lots of medical staff in most countries using the method known as re-use hemodialyzer. Re-use hemodialyzer is a term for using the same hemodialyzer (or hemodialysis machine) for the same patient but on a different therapy session. The main purpose for this research is to investigate the sodium level in patients with Stage V CKD whose using new and re-use hemodialyzer in Hemodialysis Installation of RSD dr. Soebandi Jember. Analytic Observational Study is used for this research combined with Cross Sectional Study in December 2018. Total of 19 samples chosen with inclusion and exclusion criteria. Collected data is analyzed using paired t-test. The conclusion that can be obtained from this research is that there is no significant difference between sodium level in patients with Stage V CKD whose using new and re-use hemodialyzer (p=0,904). The effectivity and quality of the hemodialyzer is thought to be the main factor for this result. Keywords: Chronic Kidney Disease, sodium, re-use hemodialyzer

ObjectiveThe aim was to compare quality of life (QoL) among children and adolescents with different stages of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and determine factors associated with changes in QoL.DesignCross-sectional.SettingThe Kids with CKD study involved five of eight paediatric nephrology units in Australia and New Zealand.PatientsThere were 375 children and adolescents (aged 6–18 years) with CKD, on dialysis or transplanted, recruited between 2013 and 2016.Main outcome measuresOverall and domain-specific QoL were measured using the Health Utilities Index 3 score, with a scale from −0.36 (worse than dead) to 1 (perfect health). QoL scores were compared between CKD stages using the Mann-Whitney U test. Factors associated with changes in QoL were assessed using multivariable linear and ordinal logistic regression.ResultsQoL for those with CKD stages 1–2 (n=106, median 0.88, IQR 0.63–0.96) was higher than those on dialysis (n=43, median 0.67, IQR 0.39–0.91, p<0.001), and similar to those with kidney transplants (n=135, median 0.83, IQR 0.59–0.97, p=0.4) or CKD stages 3–5 (n=91, 0.85, IQR 0.60–0.98). Reductions were most frequent in the domains of cognition (50%), pain (42%) and emotion (40%). The risk factors associated with decrements in overall QoL were being on dialysis (decrement of 0.13, 95% CI 0.02 to 0.25, p=0.02), lower family income (decrement of 0.10, 95% CI 0.03 to 0.15, p=0.002) and short stature (decrement of 0.09, 95% CI 0.01 to 0.16, p=0.02).ConclusionsThe overall QoL and domains such as pain and emotion are substantially worse in children on dialysis compared with earlier stage CKD and those with kidney transplants.

Abstract Introduction: Quality of life (QoL) of hemodialysis patients is a major evaluative marker currently measured, while treatment time is a clinical determinant associated with impaired QOL. Objective: To evaluate QOL in individuals undergoing hemodialysis (HD) considering treatment time and the presence of comorbidities. Methods: A cross-sectional study conducted in the hemodialysis unit of the Hospital das Clínicas da Universidade Federal de Pernambuco (HC-UFPE). We studied patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) of both genders over the age of 18 years, at any level of education and undergoing HD for at least 6 months. We evaluated the demographic/socioeconomic and clinical data, followed by application of the quality of life questionnaire (KDQOL-SF). Results: Participants were 47 patients with a mean age of 50.94 ± 13.33 years, 55.3% were male and average treatment time of 57.35 ± 61.46 months. Hypertension (59.6%) was the most frequent underlying disease. According to the responses obtained through the KDQOL-SF, the situation at work and physical limitation scored worse. Sexual function (85.83) and encouragement by the team had the best performance. There were no differences in dimensions of questionnaire and treatment time. Conclusion: The presence of comorbidities and HD duration were not found to be possible factors for changing QoL in this study. However, we suggest that future studies evaluate other factors such as laboratory, emotional and functional data to check for changes in QoL in these patients related to HD duration.

Introduction: Silent brain infarcts (SBI) are parenchymal lesions of previous infarcts, classified astype III cerebrovascular disorder. A study was undertaken to find the relation between SBIs andnonspecific neurological complaints, an association of high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP)with silent brain infarcts. Methodology: It was a cross-sectional study conducted in the departmentof Nephrology, GSL Medical College, from January to December 2020. Individuals aged > 18 yearswith nonspecific neurological complaints were included. MRI brain, hsCRP and electrocardiogramwere also carried as per the standard protocol. Fischer exact test was used to find the statisticalsignificance; P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: A total of 51 members haveincluded the male-female ratio was 1.04. SBI was presented in 27.4% (14). Age-wise, among thecortical SBI patients, maximum (75%) were in the> 61 years group. High density lipoprotein levelswere > 40 mg/dL in 39.2%, normal triglycerides (TGL) were observed in 71% and raised hsCRP in62.7% (32). Statistically, there was no significant difference in TGL levels. hsCRP levels were raisedin 3 (75%) members with cortical SBI; statistically, there was no significant difference. Conclusion:The traditional risk factors associated with stroke were present in the patients with SBI. hsCRP wasraised in chronic kidney disease patients having NSCL and having SBI.

Abstract: Chronic kidney disease has got a lot of attention and more widely studied despite reached end stage renal failure, patients still live a long life witha fairly good quality of life although the prevalence is increases throughout the year. one of the circumstances in chronic kidney disease is uremia which is a clinical and laboratory syndrome that occurs inorgans. In uremia interference with platelet function, the production ofprostacyclinin blood vesselswould increase, and excessurea levels in blood would be a potential vasodilator and platelet aggregation antagonist. Methods: An analytic observational cross-sectional study. Samples were patients that diagnosed with chronic kidney disease at the Hospital Clinic of Nephrology-Hypertension Prof. Dr.R. D.Kandou Manado in December toFebruary 2014. Criteria included were patients  <80 years old and has been diagnosed with chronic kidney disease in this case had done a physical examination and investigations by doctors, using medical record of urea-creatinine and also a complete blood countand platelet aggregation in Prokita Laboratory Manado. Forstatistical analysisusedShapiro-Wilk testalsoPearsonCorrelationstest. Result: There were 20 patients with chronic kidney disease sampled in this study. It was found that there is a relationship between of urea-creatinine and aggregation results in trace ADP5(P=0.004) while the value ADP10 no significant correlation(P =0.399). Conclusion: In chronic kidney disease patients, urea-creatininewiththe value of platelet aggregation intrace ADP5had a relation ship while intrace ADP10 had not a relationship. Keywords: Chronic kidney disease, platelet aggregation.
