Dialysis supports life, in spite of complete cessation of renal functions. Haemodialysis(HD) service became available in B. P. Koirala Institute of Health Sciences, Dharansince September 1999. Six hundred and sixty one sessions of HD in 50 patients werecarried out in one year. End stage renal disease (ESRD), acute renal failure (ARF),acute on chronic renal failure constituted 54%, 26% and 20% of the patientsrespectively. Majority of the patients (72%) were between 15 to 50 years of age. Chronicglomerulonephritis, chronic interstitial nephritis, and diabetes nephropathy were themost common causes of ESRD. Recovery following HD was 70% in ARF,whileallpatients of acute on chronic renal failure improved following few sessions of HD.Drop out rate on maintained haemodialysis (MHD) was 52%. The increasing demandof dialysis service in this region is difficult to fulfill due to restricted facilities fordialysis, lack of renal transplantation in Nepal, and economic constraint in the part ofpatients. Primary and secondary prevention of renal diseases by community education,awareness and participation needs emphasis. Key Words: Haemodialysis, End stage renal disease, Acute renal failure,Acute on chronic renal failure.

Background: Kidney failure as well as renal diseases is the most important health problems affecting the middle and old age population all over the world. They were supposed to be fatal till recently. The objective of this study was to study incidence of cutaneous manifestation in patients with end stage renal disease.Methods: A hospital based cross sectional study was carried out from July 2012 to June 2013 in the Department of General Medicine, Late Baliram Kashyap Memorial Government Medical College, Jagdalpur, Chhattisgarh, India. It was possible to study a total of 50 cases of cutaneous manifestations that are already known cases of end stage renal disease. All patients with skin lesion were evaluated by history, clinical examination (systemic and dermatological), biopsy and other relevant investigations procedure for skin disease during the course of current renal disease and their stay in the hospital.Results: The incidence of cutaneous manifestations among patients with acute renal failure was zero. It was 86% among patients with chronic renal failure. The most common manifestation was pruritus in 14% of cases followed by oral candidiasis in 4% of cases. Next common was scabies in 6% of cases and this was followed by herpes zoster and Tinea cruris in 4% of cases each. Folliculitis was seen in only one case. It was seen that all types of cutaneous manifestations were present only in patients with chronic renal failure, whereas patients of acute renal failure did not show any sort of cutaneous manifestations.Conclusions: Chronic renal failure was observed as the important cause of cutaneous manifestations seen in patients with end stage renal disease. No cases were seen in patients with acute renal failure. Thus, it is important that patients with acute renal failure take proper precautions to avoid cutaneous manifestations up to the extent possible.

The prognosis of the infant, child, or adolescent with chronic renal failure, defined as an irreversible reduction in glomerular filtration rate, has improved during the past quarter century because of the use of dialysis and renal transplantation. These have prolonged lives in previously fatal situations. Because the potential not only to sustain life but also to effect full rehabilitation exists with the introduction of these treatments, it is now imperative that the multisystem consequences of uremia be either minimized or totally avoided in the pediatric patient with chronic renal failure. The role of the pediatrician in managing the infant, child, or adolescent with chronic renal failure should be directed toward minimizing the potentially devastating consequences of uremia so that the patient is in optimal clinical condition when end stage renal disease occurs. INCIDENCE It is difficult to know the incidence and prevalence of chronic renal failure and end stage renal disease in children. Surveys in Europe and North America have been conducted to obtain precise information regarding these issues; not only have the definitions included in these surveys differed, but the upper and lower age limits defining pediatric patients have not been uniform. The available data suggest a prevalence of chronic renal failure of 18.5 per 1 million child population and an incidence of end stage renal disease of from 3 to 6 children per 1 million total population.

Objective: To determine the current pattern and prevalence of renal diseases in childhood in this region of Nepal. Material and Methods: A retrospective study of the renal diseases in children attending the Pediatric OPD and those hospitalised in Manipal Teaching Hospital, Pokhara was done over a period of 6 years (September 2000- September 2006). A detailed clinical and laboratory evaluation was performed at baseline. The children were managed according to disease diagnosed. These cases are under follow up and some have undergone surgical treatment. Results: 228 children (123 boys & 105girls) were diagnosed to have renal disease. Among them 39.5% had urinary tract infection (UTI), 30.7 % were suffering from acute glomerulonephritis (AGN), 17.5% were cases of nephrotic syndrome (NS) and 12 % had some other problems for example, 6.14% had genetic defects, 2.63% had renal Stone, 2.2% had pre-renal acute renal failure, unexplained recurrent hematuria in 1.3%. All the cases of UTI underwent through investigation and were treated accordingly. All cases of AGN are planned for follow up for 1½ yrs and among them 3 required biopsy till date. All cases of NS are under regular follow-ups and 2 have undergone biopsy. Renal stone was operated successfully. All cases of acute and chronic renal failures had required dialysis. Out of 5 (2.5%) chronic renal failures, 2 with end stage renal disease expired after repeated hemodialysis and three are still requiring dialysis. Among the obstructive uropathies, 43 % had renal stone, 36 % had posterior urethral valve and 21% VUR. Conclusion: It can be concluded that renal disease is not uncommon in children. It can be completely cured with proper and adequate treatment. Sometimes it has a bad prognosis when it reaches end stage renal disease. Early recognition, timely treatment and regular follow up are mandatory in management of children with renal diseases.

Abstract: The procedure of access hemodialysis is a vascular surgical procedure. Vascular access is indicated in patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD) or patients with end stage chronic renal failure and had to take process on hemodialysis. Cimino and AV-Shunt cubiti is two techniques of vascular access operation. This research aims to know the percentage of successful cimino and av-shunt cubiti operation in RSUP Prof Kandou at 2013. This research was conducted using a retrospective descriptive methods. This research subjects were 37 patients. 22 patients with cimino and 15 patient with av-shunt cubiti. The result of this research obtained success percentage use 63,6 % of cimino and the percentage of successful use of av-shunt cubiti is 66,7%. Key words: Vascular access, Ciminom av-shunt cubiti, successful percentage   Abstrak: Prosedur dari akses hemodialisa merupakan prosedur operasi vaskular.
