The present study aims to conducted the Assessment of Proximal radio-median cubital/radio-cephalic Arterio-venous Fistula. Arterio-venous Fistula is life line for long-term hemodialysis for end stage renal disease patients. The order of preference as per National Kidney Foundation/ Kidney Disease Out Come Quality Initiative (KDOQI) is distal Radio Cephalic fistula is considered as gold standard followed by elbow Brachio Cephalic Fistula, transposed Brachio-Basilic Fistula, forearm arterio-venous graft. This is a cross sectional-prospective interventional study, 05/2017 to 04/2019, JNMC, Wardha, MH, with sample size of 66 cases. Out of 66 cases 25 % patients had diabetes mellitus, 48% cases were suffering from chronic glomerulonephritis, 15 % cases were suffering hypertension, 6 % cases had COPD and another 6 % cases had some cardiovascular disease. About 54 % cases had previous access failure. In our study the mean flow volume for AV fistula in proximal forearm was 485± 291 ml/minon postoperative day1, 695 ± 298 on postoperative day 7 and 755± 347 ml/min. Overall postoperative complications in 12% cases was reported in our case study though Yilmiz et al reported postoperative complications in 15% cases.

The cross-sectional study of the patients receiving hemodialysis (HD) treatment in the dialysis departments in Minsk at the beginning of the year 2017 was made. The aim of the study was to define the main cause of the end stage renal disease (ESRD) among HD patients in the dialysis departments in Minsk. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 289 patients were selected for further analysis. The median of the age was 57 (45; 66) years, for men it was 174 (60.2 %) years. The median of therapy duration was 26 (8; 66) months. The main cause of the end stage renal disease was chronic glomerulonephritis in 35.3 % of patients, the second was diabetes mellitus in 15.9 % of patients, and the third was the polycystic disease in 13.5 % of patients. Kidney damage in the frame of ANCA-vasculitis was revealed in 4 (1.4 %) patients, which is less than in Eastern European Centers where systemic vasculitis is the cause of ESRD in 6.7 % of cases. Histological verification of the diagnosis was conducted in 25 (8.7 %) patients while the most frequent diagnosis was IgA-nephropathy tht was defined in 44 % of biopsied persons. The results of our analysis point to an insufficient rate of histopathology that proved the diagnosis among of the HD patients in Minsk. It does not allow us to conduct a complete differential diagnosis between kidney damage due to the primary diffuse kidney disease or arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus and systemic vacuities.

Native arterio-venous fistula (AVF) are the preferred mode of repeated vascular access for the chronic renal failure patients surviving on hemodialysis because of their easy accessibility, good long term patency, low complication rate and cost-effectiveness. Creation of a fistula between the radial or brachial artery and a suitable adjacent vein is the most commonly practiced option. However the major upper arm veins of the CKD patients are often found thrombosed, cord like and not suitable for AV anastomosis. A 48 years old male patient of chronic kidney disease with a permanent catheter placed in the right subclavian vein was referred to create an AV fistula. On exploration none of the upper limb veins was found suitable for fistula formation. The proximal part of the left GSV was harvested from patient’s left upper thigh and was used to make a connection between left brachial artery at cubital fossa and the left axillary vein. To avoid over flooding of the limb vasculature, partial banding of the left axillary vein was done distal to this anastomosis. When all options in both upper limbs are exhausted, autologous great saphenous grafts may be a very useful tool for the surgeons in creating upper limb AV fistulas in difficult situations Bangladesh Heart Journal 2018; 33(2) : 134-137

Thirty-six patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD) for more than ten years in six North American centers were analyzed retrospectively. In the six centers, the percentage of patients surviving for more than ten years varied between 0.8% and 7.3%. The study group included 27 females and 9 males aged 38.6 ± 14.2 years [mean ± standard deviation (SD)] at the start of treatment. Of the 36 patients, 28 were Caucasian. The most common cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD), present in 12 patients, was chronic glomerulonephritis. Only 4 patients had diabetes. At the beginning of the study, 19 patients had hypertension (the most common comorbid condition); 11 had no comorbid conditions at the start. Creatinine clearance at the start was 4.12 ± 3.5 mL per minute, and the mean duration to anuria was 51 ± 25 months. Mean initial body weight was 55 ± 9 kg, and mean body surface area was 1.5 ± 0.2 m2. Serum albumin levels showed an increase from 33.8 ± 3.6 g/L at the start of the study to 38.2 ± 3.9 g/L at the end. Hospitalization rate was low at 0.5 ± 0.3 admissions per patient–year, and duration of hospitalization was 4.8 ± 3.7 days per patient–year. Peritonitis was the most common cause of hospitalization. The mean peritonitis rate was 1 episode every 52 ± 48 patient–months. There were 36 catheter changes in 18 patients; 16 patients had a single PD catheter throughout the period of study. Autonomous hyperparathyroidism was the most common long-term complication. At the end of the study period, 11 patients were still on PD, 9 had died, 5 had been transferred to hemodialysis (HD), 1 was alive with a functioning allograft, and 1 was lost to follow-up. We conclude that patients who survive longer than ten years on PD are most likely to be young Caucasian females, small in body size, who are non diabetic, with few comorbid conditions. These long-term survivors have few hospitalizations, and their peritonitis rate is low. In this group of patients, severe autonomous hyperparathyroidism is the most common long-term complication.

Recirculation is an important issue in haemodialysis (HD) patients as increased percent recirculation causes decreased dialysis delivery of the patients. The purpose of the study was to determine the amount and factors of recirculation in those patients. The study was a cross sectional one carried in the department of Nephrology, Dhaka Medical College and Hospital during October 2010 to September 2011. A total of 118 end stage renal disease patients with arterio-venous fistula who were on HD for more than 3 months were purposively selected. The degree of recirculation was measured with urea based two needle technique method. For each patient distances between arterial and venous and distances of needles from fistula and its directions were recorded. Echocardiography and A-V fistula Colour Doppler Ultrasound were also performed. The mean A-V fistula recirculation was 8.1±5.5% with a range 0-66%. The most common factors were close proximity and improper arterial and venous needles placement. No difference was observed between diabetic and non diabetic also between hypertensive and normotensive. A-V fistula recirculation is common occurrence in HD patients and the most common factors of recirculation are misplacement and close proximity of needles therefore emphasis should be given on education and training of HD staffs.

Background: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a progressive irreversible loss of renal function over a period of months or years. When kidney disease progresses, it may eventually lead to kidney failure, which requires dialysis or a kidney transplant to maintains life. Hemodialysis is used for patients who require short term dialysis (days to weeks) and for patients with advanced CKD and End Stage renal Disease (ESRD) who require long term or permanent renal replacement therapy. Hemodialysis significantly and adversely affects the lives of patients, both physically and psychologically. Depression is the most common psychological condition among patients with ESRD. Depression in dialysis patients not only effect mortality, but increased rate of hospitalizations and dialysis withdrawal is also very common. Methods: A descriptive cross sectional research design was carried out to identify the depression level of chronic kidney disease patients receiving Hemodialysis in Western Regional Hospital, Pokhara using Beck Depression Inventory among forty six patients. Results: The study findings revealed that majority of the patients (84.8%) has various degree of depression i.e. mild (21.7%), moderate (30.8%) and severe (32.6%). Only fifteen percent of patient has no depression. There was no statistical association between the level of depression and socio-demographic variables. It can be concluded that the prevalence of depression is high among patients receiving Hemodialysis. Conclusion: The prevalence of depression is high among patients receiving Hemodialysis. It is effective to provide mental health services to the CKD patients receiving Hemodialysis which help them better psychologically adaptation to their disease and improve their quality of life.

Abstract Background Publications from the last decade have increased knowledge regarding long-term risks after kidney donation. We wanted to perform a survey to assess how transplant professionals in Europe inform potential kidney donors regarding long-term risks. The objectives of the survey were to determine how they inform donors and to what extent, and to evaluate the degree of variation. Methods All transplant professionals involved in the evaluation process were considered eligible, regardless of the type of profession. The survey was dispatched as a link to a web-based survey. The subjects included questions on demographics, the information policy of the respondent and the use of risk calculators, including the difference of relative and absolute risks and how the respondents themselves understood these risks. Results The main finding was a large variation in how often different long-term risks were discussed with the potential donors, i.e. from always to never. Eighty percent of respondents stated that they always discuss the risk of end-stage renal disease, while 56% of respondents stated that they always discuss the risk of preeclampsia. Twenty percent of respondents answered correctly regarding the relationship between absolute and relative risks for rare outcomes. Conclusions The use of written information and checklists should be encouraged. This may improve standardization regarding the information provided to potential living kidney donors in Europe. There is a need for information and education among European transplant professionals regarding long-term risks after kidney donation and how to interpret and present these risks.
