Background: End stage renal disease patients are treated with dialysis in Nepal. But there is no renal registry to indicate the burden of disease in the country. Objectives:The objective of this study is to fi nd out the incidence of ESRD on renal replacement therapy and their out come. Materials and methods: It is a retrospective analysis (audit) of all ESRD patients who had received dialysis ...

Renal failure is a situation in which the kidney fails to function adequately. There are two forms of renal failure acute and chronic renal failure. End-Stage Renal Disease is the final stage of chronic renal failure were in there is a progressive, irreversible deterioration in renal function and the function is substituted by continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), haemodialysis (HD), per...

Background. Renal dialysis has recently been recognised as a risk factor for lower limb amputation (LLA). However, exact rates and associated risk factors for the LLA are incompletely understood. Aim. Prevalence and risk factors of LLA in end-stage renal failure (ESRF) subjects on renal dialysis were investigated from the existing literature. Methods. Published data on the subject were derived ...

Progression to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) is a major issue for heath care systems both clinically and financially. Given dialysis may not prolong life, and may indeed impair quality of life, alternative options for these patients such as conservative care are urgently needed. We appointed a dialysis charge nurse who had many years of experience of working with patients on dialysis to spearh...

More than 30 years ago diabetic patients with endstage renal disease (ESRD) were considered as inappropriate candidates for a chronic dialysis programme because of a very high mortality rate and poor longterm survival w1x. In spite of this negative attitude against diabetics on dialysis, not only more and more diabetic patients have been accepted to chronic renal replacement therapy, but diabet...

BACKGROUND Although patients with end-stage renal disease are known to be at high risk for mortality after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery, the impact of lesser degrees of renal impairment has not been well studied. The purpose of this study was to compare outcomes in patients undergoing CABG with a range from normal renal function to dependence on dialysis. METHODS AND RESULTS We...

results two weeks after transplantation, the mean tpe decreased to 0.052 ± 0.002, which was significant compared to pre-hd (p < 0.001) and post-hd (p = 0.019). the mean tpec was 0.059 ± 0.002, which, just in comparison to pre-hd, was significant (p = 0.005). in addition, the mean tpe/qt decreased to 0.143 ± 0.005, which was significant compared to pre-hd (p = 0.018). the mean qtd was 0.066 ± 0....

Background: Chronic kidney disease is a health problem in today’s world and hemodialysis is an alternative method for patients with chronic renal failure. Preparing provincial and national information on the situation of patients can play a significant role in improving the quality of services provided to patients undergoing hemodialysis. Objective: This ...

BACKGROUND It is still not known whether patients survive longer on one modality of dialysis compared to the other. We have tried to answer this question using data from the Scottish Renal Registry. METHODS To avoid the confounding effects of co-morbidity, we limited our survival analysis to those patients listed for a renal transplant and excluded patients with a primary renal diagnosis (PRD...
