Aim: Chronic kidney disease is a progressive decline in renal function with a reduced glomerular filtration rate and proteinuria. The study evaluates the nurse-led intervention to improve the quality of life among adults with type 2 diabetes on hemodialysis.Methods: The study was a randomized controlled trial with a pre-test and post-test in a tertiary hospital. A random sample of 110 adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in the intervention and 100 adults in the control group was selected for the study in 2017. General linear model and Repeated measures were done to determine the effects of thegroup. Results: A statistically significant main effect (between-groups), within-group (time) and interaction effects for intervention were detected in all the parameters across time from T2 to T3 in the intervention group. Conclusion: Nurse-led intervention had a positive effect on the kidney disease, physical and mental health among the adults with T2D and end-stage renal disease.

Background We compared, in patients contraindicated for kidney transplant, outcomes between those patients who were only on hemodialysis (HD) and those who were given peritoneal dialysis (PD) as first renal replacement therapy (RRT). Design Prospective, population-based cohort study of incident cases of end-stage renal disease between June 1997 and June 1999. Setting A network of dialysis care: NEPHROLOR, that is, all the renal units in Lorraine, one of the 22 French administrative regions (population over 2.3 million people). Participants 387 patients were contraindicated for kidney transplant during the first 2 years of RRT: 284 were on HD, 103 on PD. Mean age was 67.6 ± 11.3 years for HD patients and 70.8 ± 11.4 years for PD patients ( p = 0.015). Main Outcome Measures Mortality until June 2003, hospitalization over the 2 first years of RRT, and Kidney Disease and Quality of Life Short Form (KDQOL-SF) 6 and 12 months after initiation of RRT. Results HD patients were more likely to die from cardiac or cerebrovascular causes, PD from cachexia or withdrawal from dialysis. Whatever mode of RRT, the unadjusted 2-year and 5-year survival rates were similar ( p = 0.98). The rate of total duration of hospital stay per month of RRT was similar in HD and PD groups: 2.7 ± 4.5 and 2.9 ± 4.2 days respectively ( p = 0.7). PD was associated with better quality of life than HD. The dimensions Role limitation due to emotional function, Burden of kidney disease, and Role limitation due to physical function ranked first, second, and third for PD. Conclusion In Lorraine, end-stage renal disease patients who were given PD as first-line RRT had no excess of death risk or hospitalizations, and better quality of life the first year of RRT.

Introduction. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) as a result of structural and functional renal failure has a high progressivity leading to an end stage renal disease (ESRD), thus a therapy is needed to replace the renal function such as hemodialysis. Long term hemodialysis therapy affects many aspects of life and degrading the quality of life of the patient. Method. This cross-sectional study was conducted at Chasan Boesoirie Hospital, Ternate. Primary data, such as socio-demography were taken through history taking and medical records. Quality of life was assessed using Kidney Disease Quality of Life - Short Form (KDQOL-SF)-36 TM which has been used to measure quality of life of patients undergoing hemodialysis. Results. From this study a sample of 77 patients was obtained, of which 41 were male (53.25%) and 36 were female (46.75%). Of the three quality of life components assessed, KDCS components were 78.65 ± 13.39; the MCS component 54.67 ± 7.53; and PCS components 42.47 ± 7.76. Conclusions. From the results of the study it was found that the highest KDQOL-36TM score was obtained for the kidney disease component (KDCS), then the mental health component (MCS), and the lowest score for the physical health component (PCS). Of all the variables hypothesized to affect the quality of life of kidney failure patients undergoing hemodialis, not a single variable was found to be significantly affected (P value> 0.05).Keywords: end-stage renal disease, hemodialysis, quality of life.

(1) Background: It has rarely been studied whether the severity of diabetic retinopathy (DR) could influence renal disease progression in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) in patients with type 2 diabetes. The aim of this study was to evaluate renal disease progression in ESRD and CKD according to DR severity in patients with type 2 diabetes. (2) Methods: We included 1329 patients and divided the cohort into two end-points. The first was to trace the incidence of ESRD in all enrolled participants and the other was to follow their progression to CKD. (3) Results: Significantly higher crude hazard ratios (HRs) of ESRD incidence in all enrolled participants were noted, and this ratio increased in a stepwise fashion. However, after adjustment, DR severity was not associated with ESRD events. Therefore, a subgroup of 841 patients without CKD was enrolled to track their progression to CKD. Compared with no diabetic retinopathy, the progression of CKD increased in a stepwise fashion, from mild nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) to moderate NPDR, to severe NPDR and to proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR), both in the crude and adjusted models. (4) Conclusions: The severity of retinopathy appeared to be associated with renal lesions and the development of CKD. Our findings suggest that the severity of DR is a risk factor for progression to CKD. Therefore, diabetic retinopathy is useful for prognosticating the clinical course of diabetic kidney disease.
