Abstract In 1923, Georg Ganter at the University of Würzburg performed the first peritoneal dialysis for patients with chronic kidney disease. During the period from 1924 to 1938, intermittent peritoneal dialysis was used in the USA and Germany as a short-term replacement for the renal functions. In 1946, Fine and colleagues described the use of peritoneal irrigation in a patient with severe anuria, who survived after four days of continuous peritoneal lavage. In 1943, a Dutch physician named Willem Kolff developed the first dialyzer which was called “Artificial kidney” with aim of cleaning the blood of patients with acute renal failure. Kolff moved to the USA and improved the early design of the dialyzer and was manufactured in the early 1950s. During the 1980s and 1990s, experimental studies on animals suggested that dietary fibers including acacia gum have a urea lowering effect (Yatzidis et al., 1980; Rampton et al., 1984; Tetens et al., 1996). In 1996, in 1996, Bliss et al. reported that the use of acacia gum supplementation in adult patients with asymptomatic early chronic renal failure on low protein diet was associated with urea lowering effect. The use of Intestinal dialysis in symptomatic chronic renal failure patients was first described by Aamir Jalal Al-Mosawi in 2002. The achievement of six-year dialysis freedom with the use of intestinal dialysis in patients with end-stage renal failure was described by Aamir Jalal Al-Mosawi in 2009. Late during the 2000s, “Only medical talks” web site included Aamir Jalal Al-Mosawi in the list of famous physicians of all time for describing intestinal dialysis [9]. During the previous two decades there have been a plethora of publications describing the concepts, principles and use of intestinal dialysis including journal articles, conference papers and books. Some of these publications have been translated to eight languages confirming that intestinal dialysis has become an established medical therapeutic technology. The aim of this paper is to review the milestones associated with intestinal dialysis which was considered by many experts as a Nobel Prize winning technology.

Objective: To review disorders elements of the metabolic syndrome in patients with end-stage chronic renal failure on dialysis cycle. Materials and methods: A cross sectional descriptive study of 85 patients including end-stage chronic renal failure in dialysis cycle from 5/2015 - 9/2016 at the Department of Artificial Kidney, Hue Central Hospital. Results: The prevalence of metabolic syndrome in dialysis patients was 37.65%. The prevalence of abdominal obesity was 30.6%; The prevalence of hypertension was 72.9%, the average value systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure were 142.24 ± 27.53, 80.35 ± 12.48 mmHg; The prevalence of hyperglycemia was 28%, the average value blood glucose was 4.9 ± 1.19 mmol/l; The prevalence of triglyceride increase was 34.1%, the average value triglyceride was 1.59 ± 0.84 mmol/l. The prevalence of HDL-C increase was 47.1%, the average value HDL-C was 1.24 ± 0.33 mmol/l. Conclusion: The prevalence of metabolic syndrome in dialysis patients is very high, in which hypertension and HDL disturbances are the highest. Key words: chronic renal failure, dialysis, metabolic syndrome

Generally patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) due to lupus nephritis, have minimal extrarenal disease activity <Juring hemodialysis. This may be related to immunological changes secondary to chronic renal failure or the dialysis procedure itself, or both. This paper describes three patients with lupus nephritis undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) in whom we observed reactivation of SLE, by both clinical and serological criteria. This may suggest that in patients undergoing CAPD the immune system is more nearly intact than in hemodialysis. These cases should heighten awareness that patients may suffer flare-ups of SLE during CAPD even long after the onset of renal failure.

Paraoxonase is an esterase that hydrolyzes organophosphate compounds. The enzyme is associated with HDL and could protect LDL against peroxidation, which suggests a possible involvement of paraoxonase in the antiatherogenic properties of HDL. Paraoxonase activity has been shown to be low in patients with myocardial infarction, diabetes mellitus, or familial hypercholesterolemia. Because cardiovascular disease is the main cause of death in chronic renal failure, serum paraoxonase activity was measured by spectrophotometry using three synthetic substrates (phenyl acetate, paraoxon, and 4-nitrophenyl acetate) in 305 patients with kidney disease, including 47 patients with non-end-stage chronic renal failure, 104 patients treated with hemodialysis, 22 patients treated with peritoneal dialysis, and 132 renal transplant patients. Patients were compared with two groups of aged-matched control subjects (total number = 195). Especially with 4-nitrophenyl acetate, paraoxonase activity was lower in patients with some degree of renal insufficiency (chronic renal failure [P < 0.05], chronic hemodialysis [P < 10(-4)], chronic peritoneal dialysis [P < 10(-4)]) than in control subjects. In transplant patients, paraoxonase activity was not found to be different from that in control subjects. The decrease of paraoxonase activity and thus the reduction of its antiatherogenic properties in renal failure could be an essential factor of premature vascular aging, especially when dialysis is used. Renal transplantation seems to restore paraoxonase activity.

Treatment and control of anemia plays an important role in improving the quality and effectiveness of artificial kidney. The study was conducted on 61 patients who met the selection and were not included in the excluded criteria group. Collecting data from medical records using retrospective, descriptive, vertical follow-up method for 6 months. Data were processed using Microsoft Excel Office 2010 and R. The results showed that patients used both EPO alpha and EPO beta simultaneously. Rate of usage’s EPO beta accounted for 23%, alpha EPO was 77%. Lyophilized form (EPO alpha) is most commonly used. Starting from T3, Hb. averages treat. There were no abnormalities in blood pressure, white blood cell, platelets, and electrolytes.

The authors graded radiologically detectable arterial calcification (A.C.) in 168 patients with end-stage renal disease treated with peritoneal dialysis; 41 of them had diabetes mellitus (DM). Comparison of DM and nondiabetic (ND) patients showed that during an average dialysis period of more than two years, the incidence of A.C. increased from 37% before dialysis to 45% at the last examination in the ND patients, and from 90% to 100% in DM patients. Both prevalence and progression of A.C. were significantly higher in DM patients (P < 0.001 and <0.05 respectively). Regressions of A.C., unrelated to parathyroidectomy or renal transplantation, were observed in 5 ND and 4 DM patients. This 9% incidence of regressions should encourage further investigations to detect the factors responsible because severe A.C. sometimes is associated with gangrene and other complications. Although numerous publications on radiologic changes in renal osteodystrophy include descriptions of arterial calcifications (A. C.), only a few have focused on the latter (1–4). Furthermore, none have looked at the relative proportions of diabetic (DM) and non-diabetic (ND) patients with A.C. and chronic renal failure. The main purpose of this paper is to make such a comparison.

Aim. To assess the state of the organ of vision in patients with end-stage chronic renal failure, who are on renal replacement therapy with hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. Methods. Examined were 35 patients with end-stage chronic renal failure. The first group consisted of 20 patients receiving renal replacement therapy with hemodialysis, the second group consisted of 15 patients treated with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis. In addition to the standard ophthalmologic techniques (visual acuity, tonography, perimetry, biomicroscopy and ophthalmoscopy) conducted were optical coherence tomography and photographic imaging of the retina. The following data were also taken into account: arterial blood pressure, blood hemoglobin, creatinine and urea levels and indicators of phosphorus-calcium metabolism. Results. Regardless of the method of blood dialysis of all patients had decreased corrected visual acuity. In the patients of the first group it was 0.88±0.13, in the second group - 0.71±0.19. Also in both groups revealed was a concentric narrowing of the visual fields by 5-10%. Conclusion. In patients on hemodialysis, revealed was more severe course of retinopathy; in patients on continuous peritoneal dialysis, the most frequently encountered was swelling of the retina, metastatic calcification manifested to a lesser extent.

SummaryThe formation of prostacyclin (PGI2) and thromboxane A2 and the release of beta-thromboglobulin (beta-TG) at the site of platelet-vessel wall interaction, i.e. in blood emerging from a standardized injury of the micro vasculature made to determine bleeding time, was studied in patients with end-stage chronic renal failure undergoing regular haemodialysis and in normal subjects. In the uraemic patients, levels of 6-keto-prostaglandin F1α (6-keto-PGF1α) were 1.3-fold to 6.3-fold higher than the corresponding values in the control subjects indicating an increased PGI2 formation in chronic uraemia. Formation of thromboxane B2 (TxB2) at the site of plug formation in vivo and during whole blood clotting in vitro was similar in the uraemic subjects and in the normals excluding a major defect in platelet prostaglandin metabolism in chronic renal failure. Significantly smaller amounts of beta-TG were found in blood obtained from the site of vascular injury as well as after in vitro blood clotting in patients with chronic renal failure indicating an impairment of the a-granule release in chronic uraemia. We therefore conclude that the haemorrhagic diathesis commonly seen in patients with chronic renal failure is - at least partially - due to an acquired defect of the platelet a-granule release and an increased generation of PGI2 in the micro vasculature.
