Background: Hemodialysis is a treatment for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) that is an underlying factor of cognitive impairment in patients. Objectives: This study was conducted to evaluate the prevalence of cognitive impairment and its associated factors in patients undergoing hemodialysis using Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA). Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was carri...

Biofilms have been observed in the fluid pathways of hemodialysis machines. The impacts of four biocides used for the disinfection of hemodialysis systems were tested against Candida parapsilosis sensu stricto and Candida orthopsilosis biofilms generated by isolates obtained from a hydraulic circuit that were collected in a hemodialysis unit. Acetic acid was shown to be the most effective agent...

Background: Hypertension is closely related to chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients because hypertension can be a cause or result of hemodialysis (HD). The way that done control blood pressure the administration antihypertensive drugs. use drugs in CKD on HD hospitals needed as an evaluation material terms accuracy and optimization drug administration. This study aims know pattern used by unit...

Background: Anemia is a common problem that often occurs in patients with CKD undergoing hemodialysis. 56.5% of hemodialysis were still have anemia, while on the other hand, achievement adequacy only reached 52.7%. Disparity data basis for this research. The aim study to analysis relationship between incidence anemia hemodialysis.Methods: This uses descriptive correlation cross sectional approa...

Patient safety culture is critical to the achievement of patient safety. In 2014, a landmark national study was conducted to investigate patient safety culture in nephrology nurse practice settings. In this secondary analysis of data from that study, we report the status of patient safety culture by primary work unit (chronic hemodialysis unit, acute hemodialysis unit, peritoneal dialysis unit)...

INTRODUTION One of the most common methods to control chronic renal failure, Hemodialysis creates numerous changes in the style and the quality of life in patients. Educating patients is one of effective factors to improve the quality of life. The present study aims to investigate influences of self-care education by face-to-face method on determining quality of life in hemodialysis patients in...

BACKGROUND Although End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) is a disease of increasing epidemiological relevance very little is known about the cost of providing the respective dialysis services in Tanzania. This paper estimates the costs of dialysis for ESRD patients at Muhimbili National Hospital (MNH) in Tanzania in the year 2014. METHODS Cost calculations are based on the provider perspective and ...

OBJECTIVE to evaluate the conformity of the assistential practice in the maintenance of the temporary double-lumen catheter for hemodialysis, by means of the use of the process indicator, in the University Hospital of the University of São Paulo. METHOD a quantitative, exploratory-descriptive and observational study. The sample was made up of 155 observations of persons with temporary double-...

Minimal pediatric data describe hospitalization causes and associated costs for children who receive maintenance hemodialysis, and no data exist to evaluate methods to decrease hospitalization. In 1999, two common causes of hemodialysis patient hospitalization at Texas Children's Hospital were fluid overload/hypertension (FO/HTN) and vascular access thrombosis (VAT). Evaluated is the effect of ...
