The value of formula Kt/v has been calculated by Daurgidas method in order to assess the effectiveness of chronic hemodialysis on 22 patients from Dialysis Center of Friendship hospital. These patients had mean Kt/v=1.33, with range from 0.92 to 1.67. Patients with Kt/v value (1.33 seem to have better recovery ability. Good effect of dialysis, with Kt/v(1.33 could be achieved by two-session-per-week hemodialysis, using high efficiency dialyzes and with session lasting at least 5 hours

On 332 blood sample of patients who underwent dialysis with many times of blood transfusion at the Institute of Hematology and blood transfusion, HCV infection was evaluated. Results showed the infection of C hepatits virus of 1a, 1b, 6, 6a genotypes. The infection was associated with the quality of transfused blood. Patients gender age occupation education level, the place where the procedure carried out, marital status, religion, ethnic group, the history of drug use… were not related factors.

Kidney disease affects a large number of people around the world, imposing a significant burden to people's health and life. If early prediction, rapid diagnosis and prognosis prediction of kidney disease can be carried out, the health of patients will be better protected. Machine learning belongs to the category of artificial intelligence, which can be divided into supervised learning, unsupervised learning and reinforcement learning. With the increasing requirements for the processing and analyzing large-scale and high-dimensional data, machine learning is playing an increasingly important role in the medical domain, and the field of kidney disease is no exception. This article presents a comprehensive overview of the application progress of machine learning in kidney disease, aiming to make medical staff's decision-making in kidney disease more early, accurate and rapid, and better escort the life and health of patients.

With the rapid development of my country's hemodialysis industry, the application of hemodialysis machines has become more and more extensive, but at the same time, the quality control technology of hemodialysis machines is not perfect. Especially for a wide range of leachable substances in dialyzers, there are few studies and detection methods. This study first briefly describes the development of hemodialyzers, and then expounds the common types of leachables, extraction methods, and chromatography and mass spectrometry conditions. It is summarized that the research plan of leachable substances is to determine the type first, then formulate the extraction plan, and then establish the detection method. Finally, we look forward to the research prospects of hemodialyzer leachables, and point out that with the deepening and extensive development of research, it can further promote the healthy development of the hemodialyzer industry.

Hemodialysis using Kiil type artificial kidney was performed on two cases of acute renal failure and a case of chronic renal failure and the following results were obtained: 1. A case of acute renal failure recovered from her deteriorated renal function following four consecutive hemodialyses and another following a single hemodialysis of six hours. 2. A case of chronic renal failure is now stabilized clinically and maintained on ambulatory intermittent long-term hemodialysis.

Since 1981, the Korean Society of Nephrology began annual report on renal replacement therapy in Korea. The annual number of new patients receiving dialysis treatment in 1986 increased to 957 patients (23.3 per million population) from 825 patients (20.4 per million population) in 1985. And the total number of patients on replacement therapy increased from 1,508 patients (37.3 per million population) to 2,534 patients (61.7 per million population). 1,340 patients (32.6 per million population) of these patients were on hemodialysis, 573 patients (13.9 per million population) on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) and 621 patients (15.1 per million population) on functioning renal graft as of December 31, 1986. The common causes of renal failure of new patients were chronic glomerulonephritis (41.6%) followed by diabetic nephropathy (12.6%), nypertensive nephrosclerosis (7.8%), chronic pyelonephritis (2.5%) and others. The annual mortality rate decreased from 21.9% in 1981 to 13.5 in 1986. The common causes of death in patients on dialysis therapy were cardiac (32.8%), vascular (14.7%), infective (14.7%) and social problems (11.2%) in the order of frequency. Recently, the number of patients requiring dialysis is rapidly increasing due to expanded medical insurance support for dialysis and improved economic status of our country. Therefore, it is necessary to draw up counterplan for a rapid growth of the number of new patients.

Maintenance hemodialysis is a mainstay of the renal replacement therapy for patients with end stage renal disease. The development of modern hemodialysis is principally owing to the invention of artificial kidney machine and the establishment of a stable and practical dialysis access. The developmental history of vascular access surgery will be discussed with the heroic works of the pioneers.

While the artificial kidney bears little resemblance to the human kidney, it does have an important similarity in function. It is designed and constructed to remove nitrogenous waste, to restore chemical balance and to reduce body water in case of the edematous by ultrafiltration from the patient in a comparatively short space of time. The author treated 16 cases of renal failure caused by various origin in the Artificial Kidney Team of the University of Minnesota Hospital from October 1959 to March 1960, and 19 dialyses were performed on 9 patients by using the Kolff Disposable Twin Coil Kidney and conservativetreatment only on 7 patients.The outcomes of treatment were summarized as follows: Dialysed Group Conservative Treatment Group TotalAlive 5 cases (55%) 6 cases (86%) 11 cases (69%)Dead 1 cases (14%) 1 case (14%) 5 cases (31%)Total 9 cases 7 cases 16 cases.

This report summarizes the authors' experiences in 119 dialysis on 12 patients of chronic renal failure treated at Sacred Heart Hospital from Jan. 1, 1973 through May 14, 1974 using Kill type artificial kidney. The average effect of 119 hemodialysis in correcting abnormal blood levels of B.U.N., creatinine, potassium and changes of body weight are as follows; Blood urea nitrogen 115.2mg% -> 70.6mg%, Serum creatinine 9.7 mg% -> 7.5mg% Serum potassium 5.2 mEq/L -> 3.8mEq/L, Body weight 55.1kg -> 52.9kg
