A hemodialysis unit was established at a rural summer camp for children. Required medical treatment was planned so as to interfere as little as possible with normal camp programs. Campers who require dialysis were mixed fully into the population of normal campers. Twenty-two children participated during the first summer of operation. Our experience indicates that children on maintenance hemodialysis can be integrated with normal peers in a recreational program and can improve their self-image and self-confidence. The program also demonstrates that chronic pediatric hemodialysis can be safely performed in a rural satellite unit.

Hemodialysis is a routinely performed therapy on chronic kidney patients, leading to psychological problems among subjects who undergo hemodialysis, such as anxiety and depression. One of the efforts to overcome anxiety and depression is with the dhikr intervention. Dhikr presents hearts to remember and be obedient to Allah followed by the words and actions in various conditions.  Discover dhikr's influence on the level of anxiety and depression in patients on hemodialysis in  Purwokerto Islamic Hospital. It was a quantitative study using quasi experiment with a non-quivalent control group design. The number of samples was 12 subjects consisting of 6 subjects in the control group and six subjects in the intervention group with the purposive sampling technique. Instruments were used to measure anxiety and depression are the HADS ( Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale ) before and after dhikr intervention as much as 12 times. Research is carried out in Hemodialysis Unit of  Purwokerto Islamic Hospital. Test statistics on research are used paired t-test and independent t-tests. This study showed a decrease in the mean level of anxiety from 5, 83 to 1.67 in the experimental group ( p = 0.003). The mean level of depression experienced a decline of 9, 67 becomes 4.67 on a group experiment ( p = 0.003). Dhikr reduces the level of anxiety and depression in hemodialysis patients at the Purwokerto Islamic Hospital.

The purpose of this study was to determine the factors that affect the quality of life of CRF patients in Hemodialysis Unit at Pringsewu District General Hospital. This study was conducted from February to May 2018 with cross sectional study design. The sampling technique using total sampling technique. Measurement of quality of life using KDQOL-SFTM version 1.3. The results found that quality of life scores were quite low in some domains and subscales. The mean of total score was 55.70 ± 21.30 with mean of Physical Health Composite (PHC) = 38.85 ± 9.26 and mean of Mental Health Composite (MHC) = 36.13 ± 7.08. Regarding the targeted area of ESRD, the scale of renal disease burden and occupational status scale resulted in the lowest score. The sleep quality scale score was 56.18 ± 20.72. Only 61 patients responded to questions of sexual activity with a score of 55.53 ± 27.44 on the scale of sexual function. In the 36-item health survey, the mean total score was 45.90 ± 21.95. The lowest score represented the limitations of roles caused by physical and emotional health problems. The result of statistical test showed that the variables significantly related to the quality of life of CRF patients were age, income, duration of hemodialysis and family support. Thus, family support was the variable that had the greatest impact on determining the quality of life of CRF patients. The CRF patients who lacked family support were 4.6 times more likely to lead poorer life compared to CRF patients who received good family support after being controlled by age, income, duration of hemodialysis, gender, working status, and diabetes mellitus variables.

Observational Descriptive Study

Abstract: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a process with various etiology, resulting in a progressive descent in kidney function and generally end up with kidney failure that requires renal replacement therapy. One of the renal replacement therapy is hemodialysis. Subjects undergoing hemodialysis belong to the high-risk group for hepatitis B and hepatitis C. This study aimed to obtain the APRI scores in subjects CKD 5 HD with hepatitis B and hepatitis C. This was a retrospective observational descriptive study. This study was conducted from October to December 2014 in the medical record of Hemodialysis Unit Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Hospital Manado. The results showed that there were 64 subjects who met the inclusion criteria, consisted of 29 (45%) subjects with CKD 5 HD and hepatitis B and 35 (55%) subjects with CKD 5 HD and hepatitis C. Among subjects of CKD 5 HD with hepatitis B, there were 24 (37.50%) males and 5 (7.81%) females. Among subjects with CKD 5 HD and hepatitis C, there were 15 (23.43%) males and 20 (31.25%) females. Age range in subjects with CKD 5 HD and hepatitis B was 37-69 years, while in subjects with CKD 5 HD and hepatitis C was 33-65 years. The SGOT of the CKD 5 HD subjects with hepatitis B was 14-58 U/L while of the CKD 5 HD subjects with hepatitis C was 21-38 U/L. The platelet count in subjects with CKD 5 HD and hepatitis B was 78.103 /mm3 – 357.103/ mm3 while in CKD 5 HD subjects with hepatitis C was 54.103/mm3 – 417.103/mm3. Based on the SGOT and the platelet count, the final APRI scores for subjects with CKD 5 HD and hepatitis B was 0.004- 0.056 while the of CKD 5 HD subjects with hepatitis C was 0.005-0.177. The APRI scores in subjects with CKD 5 HD and hepatitis B and CKD 5 HD subjects with hepatitis C was < 0.5 which meant there was no fibrosis of the liver or fibrosis without septa. Conclusion: APRI scores were not significant to the degree of fibrosis in the early stages of either hepatitis B or hepatitis C. Keywords: CKD 5 HD, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, APRI score Abstrak: Penyakit ginjal kronik adalah suatu proses dengan etiologi beragam, mengakibatkan penurunan fungsi ginjal yang progresif dan umumnya berakhir dengan gagal ginjal yang memerlukan terapi pengganti ginjal.
