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 find 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 inside Nepal and had under gone transplantation from 1990 to 1999. The haemodialysis (HD) registry, HD patients file, intermittent peritoneal dialysis (IPD) registry of Bir Hospital, Shree Birendra Hospital, Tribhuwan University Teaching hospital and National Kidney Center were reviewed. Acute renal failure and acute on chronic renal failure were excluded and the demographic profile, dialysis session, dialysis duration and outcome of all ESRD patients were computed. One patient was counted only once in spite of attending more than one center for dialysis. SPSS package was used for analysis. Results: Total number of 1393 ESRD patients received renal replacement therapy (RRT) in the decade. Mean age of patients were 46.7 ± 16.7 with 70% of ESRD were between 20-60 years age with male: female ratio of 1.8:1. Initial mode of RRT was IPD in 58.2%, HD in 41.7% and pre-emptive transplantation in 0.1% patients. Records of 189 patients could not be found and out of remaining 1208 patients, 85.8% received dialysis for < 3 months, 6% received dialysis for more than a year and 9.5% had undergone kidney transplantation. The incidence of ESRD had increased gradually with 3.4 per million populations (pmp) in 1990 to 11.89 pmp in 1999 with an average annual incidence of 6 pmp and only 0.31% of expected ESRD patients received RRT. Conclusion: The incidence of ESRD is increasing but majority discontinue or die within 3 months. Dialysis centers needs to be expanded to different parts of country and prospective studies have to be carried out to find out of cause of ESRD and to institute preventive measures.Key words: End stage renal disease; Renal replacement therapy; Haemodialysis; Intermittent peritoneal dialysis; Incidence of end stage renal disease; Nepal.

Expenses for the treatment of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients with dialysis renal replacement therapy (DRRT) during the 2018 year constituted 2 billion 922 million 460 thousand UAH. Reimbursement from the state budget constituted 1 billion 44 million 800 thousand UAH. Expendable materials were the main component of DRRT. The share of the expendable materials price from total cost for hemodialysis and hemodiafiltration constituted 66%, for continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis and automatic peritoneal dialysis was 86.3% and 92.2%, respectively. The results of the investigation can be used for the development of a diversification model (state budget – local budgets – other sources) of financial expenses for the provision of dialysis treatment in ESRD patients as a part of the state program (strategy) health care finance and service delivery.

Abstract Background and Aims End-stage renal disease (ESRD) is linked to immunodeficiency, which makes a significant contribution to morbidity and mortality. Disturbances in innate and adaptive immunity have been described in patients on dialysis, although their association with the therapy itself is yet to be defined. The present study aimed to assess the impact of dialysis on B cell subpopulations Method B cells (CD19+) and their subsets B1a (CD19+CD5+), naive (CD19+CD27−), memory (CD19+CD27+), (CD19+BAFFR+) and (CD19+IgM+), were quantified using flow-cytometry of in the peripheral blood of ESRD patients, the first day on dialysis (T0), and repeated 6 months later (T6). The results were compared to age-matched healthy control group. Exclusion criteria were age &lt;18 or&gt;75 years, active autoimmune or chronic inflammatory disease, medical history of malignancy, corticosteroids or immunosuppresive treatment for the last 12 months Results Pre dialysis ESRD patients had reduced lymphocyte count (1527±646μ/L vs. 2459±520μ/L, p&lt;0.001) and B cell (CD19+) count (82.7±59.5μ/L vs. 177.6±73.8μ/L, p&lt;0.001) compared to controls, whereas the percentages of B cell subsets were not particularly affected, except for B1a subset which presented a significant increase (4.1±3.6% vs. 0.7±0.7% p&lt;0.001). In 17 patients who had a follow-up sample 6 months later, the percentage of most subsets was reduced (CD19+CD5+: 1.02±0.8% from 3.6±4.6%, p=0.015, Naive: 40±22.3% from 61±17.4%, p=0.001, CD19+BAFF+:75.8±12.6% from 82.1±9.1%, p=0.04,), apart from memory B cells percentage, which was increased (49.4±52.1% from 32,9±35,5%, p=0.01) and CD19+ IgM+ percentage, which was unaffected . Conclusion A significant reduction of almost all subsets of B cells was noticed in patients with ESRD on pre-dialysis stage. Furthermore, the initiation of renal replacement therapy may be linked to further alterations in B cells subpopulations, especially at their early stages.

OBJECTIVE: To review the medical literature on management of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and its complications in the pediatric patient. DATA SOURCES AND STUDY SELECTION: MEDLINE searches (1970–1997) of the English-language literature. Clinical trials and reviews of drug therapy management were included, and bibliographies were reviewed for relevant articles. DATA SYNTHESIS: Principles of renal replacement therapy in children have been expanded to include maintenance of fluid and electrolyte balance and to manage the complications of ESRD in children. Types of renal replacement and their complications are reviewed. Complications of ESRD are reviewed with emphasis on drug therapy management of anemia of chronic renal failure, growth retardation, and hypertension. A discussion of the use of vitamins and supplements to maintain bone and mineral homeostasis is provided, and specific recommendations for vaccination of children with ESRD are given. CONCLUSIONS: Children with end-stage renal failure present a unique challenge to the pharmacist. Renal replacement therapy for children with ESRD involves some form of dialysis and an intensive medication regimen. Complications must be treated with appropriate drug therapy. Drug therapy must be monitored closely for dosage adjustment, clinical response, drug interactions, and toxicity. Patients and families must receive continuous education and follow-up to encourage compliance. The pharmacist must work closely with the healthcare team to optimize drug therapy and improve patient education and compliance.

At our institution, we have noted that end-stage renal disease patients choosing a home dialysis modality after education often initiate renal replacement therapy with in-center hemodialysis (HD) instead. We interviewed 24 such patients (23 choosing peritoneal dialysis [PD], one choosing home HD) to determine reasons for this mismatch. The most common reasons cited for not starting home dialysis were: lack of confidence/concerns about complications, lack of space or home-related issues, a feeling of insufficient education, and perceived medical or social contraindications. We propose several potential strategies to help patients start with their preferred modality.
