It is now generalized to perform cardiac surgery in the patients with end-stage renal disease. The growing number of patients with chronic renal failure wake us up to the need to prepare for proper management. There are not only the prevalence of coronary artery disease, but also a great amount of valve dysfunction exist in this group. Peritoneal dialysis may be one of the obstacles for cardiopulmonary bypass but it is not a great hindrance in cardiac surgery with careful preparation and well organized perioperative care. The author has performed mitral valve replacement in a 33-year-old anuric female patient with chronic renal failure and severe mitral insufficiency. Preoperatively, the patient was kept in adequate fluid and electrolyte balance using peritoneal dialysis. Peritoneal dialysis continued and regulated according to the laboratory data in this patient during and after the surgery. She recovered well showing an uneventful course and was discharged on postoperative 1 th day.

Background: Cardiogenic pulmonary edema increases nonspecific airway responsiveness in humans and animals. Increased extravascular lung water from overt pulmonary edema to subclinical interstitial edema is a common finding in patients with chronic renal failure. Several studies carried out to assess pulmonary function disturbances in this condition have documented a reduction in forced expiratory volume that usually reverses after hemodialysis, suggesting airway edema as the underlying mechanism. This interstitial edema may also lead to nonspecific bronchial hyperresponsiveness. We hypothesized that patients with chronic renal failure may present nonspecific bronchial hyperresponsiveness due to subclinical interstitial pulmonary edema. Methods: We studied 18 chronic renal failure undergoing regular hemodialysis 3 times a week(New York Heart Association Class II) without concomittent disease. These patients were checked pulmonary function test and metacholine provocation test before hemodialysis and same procedure was repeated if responsive, after hemodialysis. Results: 1) 12 out of 18 patients before hemodialysis were reactive in metacholine provocation test(66.7%) before hemodialysis. This airway hyperresponsiveness were decreased after hemodialysis. 2) Pulmonary function was improved after hemodialysis and change in $FEV_1$ was correlated with change in weight(r=-0.62, p<0.01). 3) There was a close correlation between log $PD_{20}$ and $FEF_{25}$, which is one of the variables of the peripheral airways(r=0.58, p<0.05). Conclusion: We speculated interstitial pulmonary edema may play a significant role in bronchial hyperresponsiveness and lung function impaired in patients with chronic renal failure.

This study was a qualitative study using Colaizzi's phenomenological study method to understand the experience of reconstructing life through hemodialysis in chronic renal failure patients and to clarify the meaning of their vivid experience. The participants were eight chronic renal failure patients receiving hemodialysis. Data were collected through individual in - depth interviews with participants. The five categories that were found in the study were 'The beginning of unexpected difficulties', 'Burden of survival brought on by hemodialysis', 'The driving force of recovery', 'Choices and concentration of today in order', ' Every day life which must be woven sincerely'. The results of this study will help clinicians better understand the physical and mental suffering experienced by patients with chronic renal failure receiving hemodialysis and how they are constantly trying to adapt to a changed lifestyle. Also it might provide basic data for the development of efficient nursing intervention for the health management of hemodialysis patients.

본 연구는 투석치료를 받고 있는 만성 신부전환자의 영양소 섭취량과 이에 영향을 미치는 요인을 분석함으로써, 환자들의 영양상태를 개선하기 위한 자료를 제공하고자 실시하였다. 연구 대상자는 대구지역 대학병원에 내원하는 혈액투석 환자 51명과 복막투석환자 50명을 대상으로 직접면담법으로 자료를 수집하였다. 설문지 내용은 영양소 섭취량에 영향을 미치는 요인으로 일반적 특성, 기호도, 영양지식과 태도, 스트레스 자각 정도, 식습관, 식품섭취빈도조사 등이었다. 조사대상자의 신장질환 유병기간은 혈액투석 환자군은 55.8 $\pm$ 61.3개월, 복막투석 환자군은 68.6 $\pm$ 61.5개월이었다.(중략)

Purpose : We analyzed the demogaphic data md clinical course of Korean children with chronic renal failure (CRF) observed between 1990 and 1999. Patients and Methods : Questionnaires were mailed to all children's hospitals ail through the country. We asked for primary renal disease age and serum creatinine levels at first presentation with CRF and end-stage renal disease (ESRD), and modes of renal replacement therapy (RRT). Results : 401 children (254 boys, 147 girls) with CRF, defined as a permanent increase of serum creatinine above 1.2 mg/dl for at least 3 months or until death, were identified. This represents an incidence of 3.68 per million child population per year. Of these patients, 22$\%$ on younger than 5 years, 28$\%$ 5 to 10 years and 50$\%$ 10 to 15 year. Eight five $\%$ of the patients could be classified with a primary renal disease. The most frequent cause is glomerulonephritis (36$\%$), followed by chronic pyelonephritis (21$\%$), renal hrpo/dylplasia (9$\%$), and hereditary nephropathies (7$\%$). Reflux nephropathy (16$\%$) was the most common single cause of CRF. ESRD was reached in 70$\%$ of all patient. 99.3$\%$ of these started RRT. Hemodialysis (HD, 42$\%$), peritoneal dialysis (PD, 35$\%$) and transplantation (TP, 23$\%$) were performed as the initial mode of RRT. A total of 161 TPs were performed (159 first grafts, 2 second grafts). A total of 32 patients died. The main causes of death were dialysis related complication in HD patients and infections in PD patients. Survival rate on any form of RRT was 88.7$\%$ during the mean follow-up period of 37 months. Conclusion Major efforts should be directed toward earlier diagnosis and treatment of reflux nephropathy to prevent occurrence of Of. Dialysis and TP have now become well accepted forms of treatment in Korean children with ESRD.

당뇨병은 전 세계적으로 급격하게 증가하면서 심각한 대혈관 및 미세 혈관 합병증들의 원인이 되고 있으며 대다수 선진국에서 당뇨병은 만성 신질환 및 말기 신부전의 가장 중요한 원인으로 알려져 있다. 당뇨병성 신증은 단백뇨를 특징으로 하며 30% 정도의 환자에서는 혈뇨도 관찰된다. 그래서 당뇨병성 신증의 발병 검진은 미세알부민뇨 검사로 하는 것이 가장 이상적이며 제 1형 당뇨병환자는 일반적으로 당뇨병 발병 5년 이후에 하며 위험인자가 있는 환자는 더 조기에 한다. 제 2형 당뇨병환자는 당뇨병 진단 시점부터 매년 하는 것을 원칙으로 한다.

만성신부전증 환자 절반가량에서 당뇨병이 원인인 것으로 드러나면서 당뇨병성 신증에 대한 심각성이 제기되고 있다. 당뇨병에 의한 말기신부전은 생명을 이어가려면 투석과 신장이식이 불가피한 질병으로 일상에 불편을 가져오는 것은 물론 결국 사망에 이르게 하는 치명적인 질환이다. 중앙대학교 병원 신장내과 유석희 교수는 "당뇨로 인한 반성신부전은 다른 원인으로 인해 발생하는 신부전보다 생존율이 낮다"며 "당뇨병이 오래된 환자일수록 신장합병증이 발병률이 높아지는데, 당뇨병환자가 늘 혈당관리에만 매달리다보면 신장기능이 나빠지는 신호를 놓칠 수 있다"고 전했다.

최근 보고에 의하면 국내에서 투석치료를 받고 있는 만성신부전 환자가 매년 증가 추세에 있다고 보고하였는데 그 원인으로는 신장 대체요법의 발전으로 인한 수명연장, 신장질환을 유발할 수 있는 타 질환으로부터의 생존율 증가에 따라 만성 신장질환의 발병률 증가를 주요 원인으로 지적하고 있다. 이처럼 투석 환자들의 수적인 증가뿐만 아니라 투석치료법의 발달에 따른 투석환자들의 수명도 연장되고 있어 투석환자의 재활에 대한 관심이 점차 증가하고 있다.(중략)

The purpose of this case report was to present the treatment of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) in dogs with end-stage CKD with uncontrolled uremia. Hemodialysis were carried out 6 patients who failed to improve clinical status with conventional management for CKD. Four dogs with urea reduction ratio (URR) range of 57-72% and 1 dog with URR of 37.3% showed good outcome with decreasing tendency of pre-dialysis Therefore, we suggest that CRRT could be recommended for use in CKD dogs with uncontrolled azotemia or uremia and should be monitor carefully throughout the CRRT.
