Abstract:

Alternative kidney treatments, including renal transplantation, hemodialysis (HD), and peritoneal dialysis (PD), are administered when severe kidney failure occurs and the kidney can no longer function. The present study compares different dimensions of marital satisfaction in HD and PD patients so as to assist physicians and patients in choosing their appropriate treatment. This cross-sectional descriptive-analytical study was performed on 77 hemodialysis and 46 peritoneal dialysis patients who had referred to the Hemodialysis, Peritoneal Dialysis, and Nephrology wards of Imam Reza Hospital and Ghaem Hospital, Tehran, in 2018. Marital satisfaction was significantly different between HD and PD patients, with the latter displaying a greater score in this regard (p <0.05). PD patients also enjoyed a higher level of satisfaction with personality issues, communication, conflict resolution, leisure activities, sexual relationships, children and parenting, and religious orientation (p <0.05).  However, satisfaction with financial management and family and friends made no significant difference between HD and PD patients (p> 0.05).  Other results suggested that gender, education level, age, number of children, disease onset, type of delivery, and urinary tract infection do not have a significant impact on marital satisfaction (p> 0.05), but diabetes, hypertension, occupational status, and income level significantly affect this variable (p <0.05). This study provided evidence that PD patients, compared with HD patients, experience a higher satisfaction with marital life, especially in terms of personality issues, communication, conflict resolution, leisure activities, sexual relationships, children and parenting, and religious orientation

Spirometric Parameters: Hemodialysis Compared to Peritoneal Dialysis

Introduction: Renal failure affects the mechanical and the ventilatory function of the lungs. A few studies have evaluated the ventilatory and pulmonary function in dialysis patients. The present study aimed to compare Pulmonary Function Test (PFT) results in patients undergoing Hemodialysis (HD) and Peritoneal Dialysis (PD). Materials and Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study on 50  pa...

Comparison of hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis--a cost-utility analysis.

OBJECTIVE Our aim was to compare both health-related quality of life and costs for hemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD) in a defined population. DESIGN Decision-tree modeling to estimate total costs and effects for two treatment strategies, HD and PD, among patients with chronic kidney failure, for 5 years following the start of treatment. Courses of events and health-care consumpti...

Pharmacokinetics of cefamandole in patients undergoing hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis.

The pharmacokinetics of cefamandole nafate, a new parenteral cephalosporin derivative, were evaluated in 11 patients with chronic renal failure (creatinine clearance less than 5 ml/min), including five patients during hemodialysis, four patients during routine peritoneal dialysis, and two patients during the interdialytic period. Peak serum levels of cefamandole were comparable to those observe...

Unexplained pulmonary hypertension in peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis patients.

OBJECTIVES To compare the prevalence of unexplained pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH) in hemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients and to compare laboratory parameters between patients with unexplained PAH and those with normal pulmonary artery pressure (PAP). METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 278 chronic HD and 145 chronic PD patients. Laboratory find...

Sleep Quality in Patients on Maintenance Hemodialysis and Peritoneal Dialysis

BACKGROUND Sleep disturbances are common among uremic patients; however, limited data are available on predictors of sleep quality in this population. We assessed sleep quality in patients on hemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD) and investigated predictors related to sleep quality. METHODS Patients on maintenance HD and PD were consecutively included from two medical centers in Isfa...

Comparison and survival of patients receiving hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis in a single center.

The influence of the type of dialysis on survival of patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) is controversial. To compare survival among patients with ESRD receiving peritoneal dialysis (PD) or hemodialysis (HD), we conducted a prospective cohort study in a single center from April 1995 to March 2005. During that period, 454 patients (161 women, 293 men; mean age: 61.7 +/- 14.4 years; 46.6...
