Background. Renal interstitial fibrosis is a pathological manifestation of progression of chronic kidney disease induced by various factors. Shen Shuai II Recipe (SSR) has been used in clinical practice for more than 20 years, and clinical studies have confirmed that SSR significantly improves the renal function of patients with chronic kidney disease. However, the specific mechanisms underlying its efficacy require further research. This study aims to explore the influencing factors of renal interstitial fibrosis in the context of hypoxia via the IL-1β/c-Myc pathway and the potential molecular mechanisms of SSR intervention in vivo and in vitro. Methods. A rat model of chronic renal failure was developed by performing 5/6 (ablation/infarction, A/I) surgery on randomly selected, male Sprague Dawley rats. Thirty-six successfully modeled rats were randomly divided into three groups: 5/6 (A/I), 5/6 (A/I) + SSR, and 5/6 (A/I) + losartan. Another 12 rats were used as the sham group. After 8 weeks of the corresponding intervention, renal function, liver function, and protein expression of renal-fibrosis-related factors, HIF-1α, IL-1β, and c-Myc, were detected. In vitro analysis was performed using hypoxia-induced rat renal tubular epithelial cells (NRK-52E) and IL-1β-stimulated rat renal interstitial fibroblasts (NRK-49F). IL-1β concentration in the culture medium and IL-1β protein expression in hypoxic NRK-52E treated with different concentrations of SSR were investigated. Furthermore, we also studied the changes in protein expression of c-Myc and fibrosis-related factors after c-Myc gene silencing in IL-1β-stimulated NRK-49F treated with SSR. Results. Shen Shuai II Recipe significantly reduced RIF and downregulated the expression of HIF-1α, c-Myc, and IL-1β proteins in 5/6 (A/I) rats with chronic renal failure. It also inhibited IL-1β secretion from NRK-52E induced by hypoxia, which in turn inhibited fibroblast activation mediated by the IL-1β/c-Myc pathway, and finally reduced the overproduction of the extracellular matrix. Conclusion. The renoprotective effects of SSR in rats with chronic renal failure may be related to its inhibition of hypoxia via the IL-1β/c-Myc pathway. Thus, SSR is a potentially effective drug for delaying the progression of renal interstitial fibrosis.

AbstractIn patients with chronic renal failure, hemodialysis therapy is needed to replace kidney function by removing nitrogenous substances and toxins in the blood and excessive water. Appropriate management of patients with chronic kidney failure in addition to preventing complications is expected to increase the client's life expectancy. In patients with chronic kidney failure, quality of life also reflects the quality of treatment because it involves physical, psychological, and social processes to be achieved. A good quality of life is needed by hemodialysis patients to prevent the disease from getting worse. This literature review aims to describe the quality of life hemodialysis patients. This study accesses an online database with electronic searches on Pubmed, Portal garuda and Proquest. The search was conducted by combining the keywords “quality of life, chronic kidney disease, hemodialysis” and articles published in the period 2012-2021. Instrumen for the literature review using Strobe instrument. The results of the literature review show that the quality of life score on the physical health dimension is low while on the psychological and environmental dimensions the quality of life score is high. . It is hoped that this study can be a reference for nurses in providing holistic nursing care to patients undergoing hemodialysis so that their quality of lifecan improve. This research is then needed as a data base for the development of other researchers.Keywords: Chronic renal failure; hemodialysis; quality of life AbstrakGagal ginjal kronik disebabkan karena disfungsi ginjal yang bersifat menahun, progresif, irreversible yang memerlukan terapi hemodialisa, pengaturan pola makan dan akses cairan yang masuk.

Background of the Research: A Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a kind of disease (or a renal failure) which shows significant number of rising evidence in recent years. A patient of chronic renal failure needs a renal succession therapy such as dialysis in order to make a longer life. When the disease is getting worst, the patient is generally suffering anemia as the effect of the renal damaged. The interrelated factors of the anemia level are: age, sex, the period of dialysis therapy, nutrition status, illness-stadium, and the enclose disease.Significance of the Research: This research is conducted in order to know the interrelated factors of anemia level in chronic renal failure patients post dialysis.Research Methods: This is a non-experiment correlation research with a cross sectional approximation. The research is conducted in the Dialysis Unit of Bethesda HospitalYogyakarta, from February to March 2009. The researcher uses purposive sampling with 30 respondents. The measurement instrument is observation sheets and hemoglobin tests. The data analysis is done through distribution frequency; Kolmogorov-Smirnov test for the bivariate analyses and Logistic Regression for the multivariate analyses.Research findings: The research which was conducted on 30 respondents showed result of 93, 3% easy-anemia patients’ sufferings. The age factor, sex, dialysis period, nutrition status, illness-stadium, and the enclose disease were statistically unrelated to the level of anemia, with p&gt;0, 05. The statistic accounting of logistic regression showed that the illness-stadium was the most probable factor related to the level of anemia, with p=0, 09 ;CI=0, 734 – 73, 248; Exp (B) 7, 333.Conclusion: The age factor, sex, dialysis period, nutrition status, illness-stadium, and the enclose disease were statistically unrelated to the level of anemia, but the most probable factor related to the level of anemia was the illness-stadium.Keywords: Chronic Kidney Disease, Anemia Level, Dialysis

ABSTRACT   GRANTING OF EDUCATION STRUCTURED NUTRITION AND ELECTROLYTE (ESNE) ON CHANGING INTERDIALYTIC WEIGHT GAIN IN CHRONIC CALCULATION FAILURE PATIENTS By Lutfi Wahyuni, Ika Ainur rofiah, Mochammad Achwandi Chronic kidney disease is a condition when kidney function begins to decline gradually. The condition of the decline in kidney function occurs due to many factors, one of which is because the kidney damage that has occurred intensely for many years. Patients with chronic renal failure need a management or hemodialysis therapy, which is the cleansing process of blood from waste substances, through a screening process outside the body using an artificial kidney in the form of a dialysis machine. Hemodialysis therapy is needed in the management of patients with chronic renal failure who cannot be treated again (terminal). The success of hemodialysis is based on various elements, one of which is compliance with fluid restrictions. Limitation of fluid intake in patients with chronic renal failure is very important. The provision of structured education can be given to patients with chronic kidney failure who are undergoing hemodialysis therapy. Education structured nutrition and electrolyte (ESNE) is a structured health education on nutrition and electrolyte management for chronic renal failure patients undergoing hemodialysis. ESNE is done to improve patients' understanding of diet and electrolyte compliance to prevent an increase in IDWG and to improve patient compliance with fluid restrictions. The stages of service activities that have been carried out are to explain fluid requirements and fluid restriction in patients with chronic renal failure using the Education structured nutrition and electrolyte (ESNE) method, the next recourse is an evaluation after continuous or ESNE administration of respondents given treatment and respondents who were not treated. Keywords: Diet, Chronic Kidney Disease, Hemodialysis
