Tamilnad Kidney Research Foundation (TANKER Foundation) which was established in 1993 to support kidney disease related care to underprivileged people. It has now eleven dialysis units in the state of Tamilnadu, India. COVID-19 pandemic has put enormous challenges for the dialysis staff. Here we describe how we face the challenges from March 2020 till now without interrupting or closing down the dialysis units. The no of dialysis staff who have got infected are 21% which required only home quarantine and symptomatic remedies. Our experience can be emulated by other charity organization which provide kidney care.

Late Victorian and Edwardian social reform has been studied in recent years in order to clarify that important transitional era when new state resources were being called upon to help redress the most glaring abuses which comprised the condition-of-England question. Most of these studies have emphasized the politics of social policy and have also subsumed the tangled and competitive world of philanthropy. But philanthropists were prominent in the politics and practice of social welfare. In his study of Edwardian social policy, Bentley Gilbert distinguishes three organizations as characteristic of “scientific social reform”: settlements (inspired by Canon Samuel Barnett), the Fabians, and the Charity Organization Society. His analysis of each concluded that “professionally-minded social work,” as represented by the C.O.S., least typified the transition from old to new attitudes about social policy. David Owen's examination of English philanthropy supports Gilbert's conclusions concerning the C.O.S., and less detailed surveys of social policy also cite that agency as representative of a philosophic individualism which rejected the policies necessary for reform. All agree that the charitable community called attention to many defects in the British social system, but they leave readers with the impression that it generally opposed state sponsored remedies for those ills.It is the concern of this essay to show that the “professionally-minded” world of Edwardian philanthropy was, like the state, developing new agencies and reorganizing its resources to help meet the massive and diverse welfare needs of the twentieth century.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a growing problem in Nigeria, presenting challenges to the nation’s health and economy. This study evaluates the accessibility to healthcare in Edo State of CKD patients diagnosed between 2006 and 2009. Using cost analysis techniques within a geographical information system, an estimated travel time to the hospital was used to examine the spatial accessibility of diagnosed patients to available CKD healthcare in the state. The results from the study indicated that although there was an annual rise in the number of diagnosed cases, there were no significant changes in the proportion of patients that were diagnosed at the last stage of CKD. However, there were indications that the travel time to the hospital for CKD treatment might be a contributing factor to the number of diagnosed CKD cases. This implies that the current structure for CKD management within the state might not be adequate.

Abstract : Bacground: Stadium V Chronic Kidney Disease is less than 15 ml/mnt GFR, there is an accumulation of toxin uremia in blood that could harm the survival of patient, it is required a substitute therapy for the kidney,which is called hemodialysis. Hemodialisis needs anticoagulation, so blood clotting in circuit extracorporeal does not occur. In its development, have been tried several kinds of anticoagulation technique and anticoagulant which is made based on the state of the patient such as heparin, but in its using it can cause side effects. The work of heparin as anticoagulant dependents on anti thrombin (AT-III) that is an inhibitor of various factor of clotting. Heparin can cause changing of homeostasis because of its effect to the function of thrombosis ( thrombosis aggregation ) even to reduce the number of thrombosis ( Heparin Induced Thrombocytopenia ) . Purpose: To know and to study about the value of thrombosis in CKD patient who endure hemodialysis in unit hemodialisis Department of Internal Medicine BLU RSUP Prof. Dr.R.D. Kandou Manado.Method : Descriptive retrospective, using secondary data medic record in unit hemodyalisis Department of Internal Medicine BLU RSUP Prof. DR .R. D. Kandou Manado. Result: The thrombocytopenia patient increased on HD > 96 X, most of them are men in range 51 – 60 years old. Conclusion: CKD patient who endure hemodyalisis generally have normal thrombosis value, number of thrombocytopenia case is 25,45 % and number of most occurrence is commonly to men Keywords: chronic kidney disease, hemodialysis, thrombocytopenia.   Abstrak: Latar Belakang: Penyakit ginjal kronik stadium V yaitu LFG kurang dari 15 ml/mnt terdapat akumulasi toksin uremia dalam darah yang dapat membahayakan kelangsungan hidup pasien, sehinga di perlukan terapi penganti ginjal, terapi pengganti ginjal tersebut berupa hemodialisis. Pada hemodialisis diperlukan antikoagulasi supaya tidak terjadi pembekuan darah didalam sirkuit ekstrakorporeal. Dalam perkembangannya telah dicoba beberapa macam teknik antikoagulasi dan antikoagulan yang dibuat berdasarkan keadaan pasien,seperti heparin tetapi dalam pengunaanya heparin dapat memberikan efek samping Kerja heparin sebagai antikoagulasi bergantung pada antitrombin (AT-III) yaitu suatu inhibitor dari berbagai faktor pembekuan. Heparin menyebabkan perubahan hemostasis karena efeknya terhadap fungsi trombosit (agregasi trombosit) bahkan menurunkan jumlah trombosit (Heparin Induced Thrombocytopenia). Tujuan:Mengetahui dan mempelajari nilai trombosit pada pasien PGK yang menjalani hemodialisis di unit hemodialisis bagian/SMF Ilmu Penyakit Dalam BLU RSUP. Prof.Dr.R.D.Kandou manado. Metode Penelitian: Deskriptif retospektif dengan mengunakan data sekunder rekam medik di unit Hemodialisis Bagian/SMF Ilmu Penyakit dalam BLU RSUP  Prof.DR. R. D. Kandou  Manado. Hasil: Pasien yang mengalami trombositopeni mengalami peningkatan pada Hemodialisis lebih dari 96 kali, terbanyak berjenis kelamin laki – laki pada kelompok umur 51 – 60 tahun. Simpulan: Pasien PGK yang menjalani hemodialisis pada umumnya mempunyai nilai trombosit normal, jumlah kasus trombositopeni 25,45%, dan angka kejadian terbanyak umumnya pada laki –laki. Kata Kunci: Penyakit ginjal kronik, hemodialisis, trombositopeni

Aims:  to  comprehend  the  being-in-the-world  while  undergoing haemodialysis,  aiming the  offer  of human  care  in  its  aesthetic dimension; to  catalogue the perceptions of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) patients on the aesthetic dimension of their bodies regarding the care received while on haemodialysis; to suggest nursing care actions  based  on  perceptions  of  the  corporeity  of  the  being-in-the-world  during haemodialysis   in   an   aesthetic   dimension.   Method:   This   is   a   phenomenological, descriptive-exploratory  and  qualitative  study.  Study  setting:  a  haemodialysis  clinic located in the state of Rio de Janeiro. Population of the study: 163 patients of the clinic. Patients  who  are  over  eighteen  years  old  and  undergoing  haemodialysis,  performed using the rope-ladder technique for at least two years, will be included in the study. A sample  of  80  subjects  is  estimated,  which is  the  corresponding  number  to  the total  of patients being submitted to the rope-ladder technique. They will be personally invited to take  part  of  the  research.  Data  will  be  collected  through  phenomenological  interviews and analysed according to Amedeo Giorgio's method.

The pathological conditions that are commonly called kidney disease are actually common diseases. The state of blood circulation in the internal organs, the exchange of water in the body, the function of the skin, etc., are decisive factors in this.
