Abstrak Selama lebih dari dua dekade, kekurangan gizi telah dilaporkan sebagai komplikasi yang sering pada pasien hemodialisis. Prevalensi bervariasi dari 25 ke 75% di seluruh dunia. Berbeda dengan penelitian sebelumnya, penelitian ini membandingkan nutrisi pasien hemodialisis di negara berkembang dan negara maju. Hemodialisis data pasien diperoleh dari kelompok pasien di Surabaya, Indonesia dan Juntendo University, Jepang. Malnutrisi diperkirakan dengan serum prealbumin, protein yang mengikat albumin dan retinol.

Difficulty in Achieving Hemodialysis Adequacy in Hemodialysis Unit, Dr. Soetomo Hospital, Surabaya, Indonesia

Rumah Ginjal - ABSTRAK Mempertahankan hemodialisis yang memadai di unit hemodialisis diperlukan bagi kelangsungan hidup pasien dialisis. Namun, tidak pasien di RSUD Dr Soetomo tidak begitu saja mampu memperoleh layanan hemodialisis yang memadai.

Hepatitis C Virus Infection in Hemodialysis Patients: Comparison of The Surabaya Dialysis Center and Juntendo University Hospital Dialysis Centre

Abstract Hepatitis C virus infection is highly prevalence in chronic hemodialysis (HD) patients. The present study will compare prevalence of HCV positive population in difference countries where there are great contrasts in and diversity of care available to patients who have end stage renal disease. All serum samples of the 100 patients were tested for HCV antibodies, using third-generation enzyme immunoassay. The prevalence of anti-HCV was correlated with a history of blood transfusion and with duration of hemodialysis. HCV prevalences were 88% of Surabaya group and 6% of Juntendo Group, respectively.
