This study aimed to describe the factors that affect the quality of life of patients with CRF who undergo hemodialysis in dr. M. Yunushospital in Bengkulu 2016. The population of study is 205 people, the sampling technique used was an accidental sampling with a sample of 67 respondents.The results showed nearly all respondents aged smaller than 20 and greather than 35 years, more than the majority of respondents were female, more than the majority of respondents had pretty income or more, almost half of respondents had high levels of depression, more than the majority of respondents had either the family support, more than the majority of respondents had a high quality of life, there was a correlation between age, gender, producer, depression, and family support with quality of life, there was a relationship between sex with the quality of life for CRF patients undergoing hemodialysis in dr. M. Yunus Hospital in Bengkulu 2016.It is advisable for the public to provide health education for families of patients with CRF who undergo hemodialysis therapy on the importance of family support in improving the quality of life of family members.

The Cost

Objective: to determine the cost of institutional and familial care for patients with chronic kidney disease replacement therapy with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis. Methods: a study of the cost of care for patients with chronic kidney disease treated with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis was undertaken. The sample size (151) was calculated with the formula of the averages for an infinite population. The institutional cost included the cost of outpatient consultation, emergencies, hospitalization, ambulance, pharmacy, medication, laboratory, x-rays and application of erythropoietin. The family cost included transportation cost for services, cost of food during care, as well as the cost of medication and treatment materials acquired by the family for home care. The analysis included averages, percentages and confidence intervals. Results: the average annual institutional cost is US$ 11,004.3. The average annual family cost is US$ 2,831.04. The average annual cost of patient care in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis including institutional and family cost is US$ 13,835.35. Conclusion: the cost of chronic kidney disease requires a large amount of economic resources, and is becoming a serious problem for health services and families. It's also true that the form of patient management in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis is the most efficient in the use of institutional resources and family.

Monogenic causes of chronic kidney disease (CKD) are more prevalent in adults than previously thought, as causative gene variants are found in almost 10% of unselected patients with CKD. Even so, genetic testing in patients with adult-onset CKD is uncommon in clinical practice and the optimal criteria for patient selection remain unclear. A family history of kidney disease emerges as one marker associated with a high diagnostic yield of genetic testing. We present 3 cases of adult-onset CKD with underlying monogenic causes exemplifying different modes of inheritance. Case 1 is a 60-year-old male with slowly progressive CKD initially ascribed to hypertension and diabetes despite a family history with several affected first-degree relatives. A pathogenic <i>MUC1</i> variant was found, and thus we identified the first Danish family of <i>MUC1</i>-associated autosomal dominant tubulointerstitial kidney disease. Case 2 is a 40-year-old female with nephrocalcinosis, nephrolithiasis, and unexplainable hypercalcemia consistent with vitamin D intoxication. The family history indicated autosomal recessive inheritance, and genetic testing revealed 2 pathogenic <i>CYP24A1</i> variants in compound heterozygous form associated with idiopathic infantile hypercalcemia. Case 3 is a 50-year-old male with microscopic hematuria, proteinuria, and hearing loss. Electron microscopy of renal biopsy showed thin basal membrane syndrome, and the family history indicated X-linked inheritance. A novel missense variant in <i>COL4A5</i> was identified, suggesting an atypical late-onset form of X-linked Alport syndrome. This case series illustrates the heterogeneous presentations of monogenic kidney disease in adults and emphasizes the importance of family history for initiating genetic testing to identify underlying monogenic causation. Moreover, we discuss the potential impact of genetic diagnostics on patient management and genetic family counseling.
