“…Hypertension was the most common case of ESKD at 41%, followed by diabetes at 14%, while glomerulonephritis was the primary diagnosis in 3% of patients undergoing dialysis. The prevalence of unknown causes of ESKD varied between 13% (10) and 22% (9). Several studies identified high prevalence of CKD of unknown origin (CKDu) ranging between 13-27% (10,11).…”

“…This was reflected as 2.6 rise since 2016, which caused death increasing rates among ESRD population. According to the 9th Annual Report of Egyptian Renal Registry provided by Egyptian Nephrology and Transplantation Society (ESNT), Egypt ESRD prevalence raised to 483 patients per million (El-Ballat et al, 2019).…”

Background: Hemodialysis (HD) associated problems contribute directly to further morbidity and mortality. Nurses have vital roles to play that involve wide range of activities in the prevention and management of hemodialysis related problems. These activities include continuous assessment of patients' condition as well as assuming the responsibility to carryout preventive measures and take proper actions when necessary. A significant portion of these problems fortunately may be preventable with applying the appropriate medical and nursing interventions. Objective: To identify common problems in functioning and disability among patients on maintenance hemodialysis. Setting and subjects: the study was conducted at the Hemodialysis Unit, Alexandria Fever Hospital in Egypt. (A convenience sample of 90 adult patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD) undergoing HD was selected), from the previously mentioned setting. Results: Significant correlations were observed between age and "activity limitations & participation restriction". A significant positive correlation was observed between age and "body function impairment" as (P < 0.018*). Conclusion: HD patients might experience prevalent problems during HD sessions, which need to be carefully assessed and managed. Recommendations: Expansion of medical services provided for hemodialysis patients in local health facilities to ensure continuity of care and follow up of patient undergoing HD health status, is highly recommended.

“…1 Few patients had permanent vascular access (VA) before beginning dialysis because many patients only discovered they had a kidney problem after starting dialysis. 2 While efforts are made to promote a "fistula-first" approach, the majority of kidney loss patients who require renal replacement treatment begin using HD catheters as their first treatment. [3][4][5] Because of this, patients will need tunnelled HD catheters for dialysis until the arteriovenous fistula (AVF) can be properly created and get mature.…”

Background:Patients who suffers from central venous occlusion (CVO) or central venous stenosis (CVS) with no options for vascular access (VA) need urgent HD.Purpose: To evaluate CVO or CVS endovascular veinoplasty through an occluded access site to insert tunnelled catheter for HD.Patients and methods: Patients included had no options for VA and had CVO or CVS.Results: 124 patients on HD had endovascular veinoplasty. Technical success was 100% and 79% for CVS and CVO. Mean follow-up period was 36.16±12.6 months. Primary catheter site patency was 70%, 40%, 20%, and 5% after one, two, three, and four years. Assisted primary catheter site patency was 77%, 45%, 27%, and 12% and access vein survival was 100%, 80%, 40%, and 15% respectively at one, two, three, and four years, respectively. Conclusion:Recanalizing occluded veins for catheter insertion is simple, cost-effective, and safe.
