Patients with chronic renal failure (CRF) experience a significant decrease in their living quality, due to the limitations imposed by the disease as well as the demands of the treatment that they receive. Some side effects contribute to the morbidity of these patients. Among them, erectile dysfunction (ED) is notable. This article reviews recent advances in etiological factor study and treatment of ED in CRF patients, which may guide the clinic practices in a considerable scale.

Host factors such as systemic diseases, genetic polymorphism or drug usage play a major role in the pathogenesis of periodontal disease by modifying the host response to periodontal infection or altering the susceptibility to infection by periodontal organisms. This study was designed to evaluate the clinical response of patients receiving hemodialysis to existing microbial dental plaque. Gingival Index (GI) and Plaque Index (PI) scores and probing depths (PD) were recorded for the entire dentition on 36 chronic renal failure patients receiving hemodialysis (H) and 36 systemically healthy individuals (C), matched with the patient group, based on age and extent of plaque accumulation. No statistically significant difference was observed in the clinical parameters between the two groups (PI: t=1.69 p= 0.096; GI: t=1.057 p=0.294; PD: t=0.01 p=0.99). In the present study, H patients revealed a similar response to existing bacterial plaque and their periodontal status was comparable to that of the control group. Although patients receiving hemodialysis have been suggested to present a certain degree of immunosuppression, based on the findings of the present study chronic renal failure does not seem to be an additional risk factor for more severe periodontal destruction.

OBJECTIVE:
To analyze the clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes of the first episode of peritoneal dialysis-associated peritonitis (PDAP) in patients receiving long-term peritoneal dialysis.
METHODS:
The clinical data of patients with the first episode of PDAP in 4 general hospitals in Jilin Province from 2013 to 2019 were collected retrospectively. According to the duration of dialysis, the patients were divided into long-term (≥36 months) and short-term (< 36 months) dialysis groups for comparison of the clinical data, treatment outcomes and long-term prognostic events.
RESULTS:
A total of 625 patients with PDAP were enrolled, including 93 on long-term and 532 on short-term dialysis. Compared with those on short-term dialysis, the patients on long-term dialysis had significantly higher hemoglobin levels and lower glomerular filtration rates when the first episode of PDAP occurred (
CONCLUSIONS
Compared with those on short-term dialysis, patients on long-term dialysis are prone to gram-negative bacterial infection when the first episode of PDAP occurs with worse treatment outcomes but similar long-term outcomes. Long-term dialysis is an independent risk factor of extubation and treatment failure for the first episode of PDAP, and fungal and mixed bacterial infections are independent risk factors for treatment failure of the first PDAP in patients with long-term dialysis.

6.Multicenter report on dialysis and transplantation in Korea, 1986: Korean Society of Nephrology.
Journal of Korean Medical Science 1988;3(4):135-141
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.

Objective: To investigate the etiology, complications, and prognostic factors of stage 5 chronic kidney disease (CKD5) in children. Methods: A case series study was conducted to retrospectively analyze the general situation, clinical manifestations, laboratory tests, genetic testing, and follow-up data (until October 2022) of 174 children with CKD5 who were diagnosed and hospitalized at the Children's Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from April 2012 to April 2021. The characteristics of complications in the children were compared based on age, gender, and etiology. Based on the presence or absence of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), patients were divided into LVH group and non LVH group for analyzing the influencing factors of cardiovascular disease. Patients were also divided into death group and survival group, peritoneal dialysis group and hemodialysis group based on the follow-up data for analyzing the prognostic factors. The chi-square test, independent sample t-test, Fisher exact probability test, Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal Wallis test were used to analyze data among different groups. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to identify the prognostic factors. Results: A total of 174 children with CKD5 were enrolled in the study (96 boys and 78 girls), aged 11.2 (8.2, 13.0) years. Congenital kidney and urinary tract malformations (CAKUT) were the most common causes of the CKD5 (84 cases, 48.3%), followed by glomerular diseases (83 cases, 47.7%), and among which 28 cases (16.1%) were hereditary glomerular diseases. The common complications of CKD5 included anemia (98.2%, 165/168), mineral and bone disorder in chronic kidney disease (CKD-MBD) (97.7%, 170/174), lipid metabolism disorders (87.5%, 63/72), hypertension (81.4%, 127/156) and LVH (57.6%,57/99). The incidences of hypertension in primary glomerular disease were higher than that in CAKUT(93.8%(30/32) vs.73.7%(56/76),χ2=5.59,P<0.05). The incidences of hypertension in secondary glomerular disease were higher than that in CAKUT and that in hereditary kidney disease (100.0%(20/20) vs. 73.7%(56/76), 68.2%(15/22), both P<0.05). The incidence of hypocalcemia in CAKUT, primary glomerular disease, and hereditary kidney disease was higher than that in secondary glomerular disease (82.1%(69/84), 88.2%(30/34), 89.3%(25/28) vs. 47.6%(10/21), χ2=10.21, 10.75, 10.80, all P=0.001); the incidence of secondary hyperparathyroidism in women was higher than that in men (80.0%(64/80) vs. 95.0%(57/60), χ2=6.58, P=0.010). The incidence of LVH in children aged 6-<12 was higher than that in children aged 12-18 (73.5%(25/34) vs. 43.1%(22/51), χ2=7.62, P=0.006). Among 113 follow-up children, the mortality rate was 39.8% (45/113). Compared to the survival group, the children in the death group had lower hemoglobin, higher blood pressure, lower albumin, lower alkaline phosphatase and higher left ventricular mass index ((67±19) vs. (75±20) g/L, 142 (126, 154) vs. 128(113, 145) mmHg(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa), (91±21) vs. (82±22) mmHg, 32 (26, 41) vs. 40 (31, 43) g/L, 151 (82, 214) vs. 215 (129, 37) U/L, 48 (38, 66) vs. 38(32, 50) g/m2.7,t=2.03, Z=2.89, t=2.70, Z=2.49, 2.79, 2.29,all P<0.05), but no independent risk factors were identified (all P>0.05). The peritoneal dialysis group had better alleviation for anemia, low calcium, and high phosphorus than the hemodialysis group ((87±22) vs. (72±16) g/L, (1.9±0.5) vs. (1.7±0.4) mmol/L, (2.2±0.7) vs. (2.8±0.9) mmol/L, t=2.92, 2.29, 2.82, all P<0.05), and the survival rate of the peritoneal dialysis group was significantly higher than that of the hemodialysis group (77.8% (28/36) vs. 48.4% (30/62), χ2=8.14, P=0.004). Conclusions: CAKUT is the most common etiology in children with CKD 5, and anemia is the most common complication. The incidence of complications in children with CKD 5 varies with age, gender and etiology. Anemia, hypertension, hypoalbuminemia, reduced alkaline phosphatase and elevated LVMI may be the prognostic factors in children with CKD5. Peritoneal dialysis may be more beneficial for improving the long-term survival rate.

OBJECTIVEChronic renal failure (CRF) of childhood is not rare. The prognosis of CRF is very poor because of severe systemic complications. A nation-wide survey was conducted and data of hospitalized children (younger than 14 years old) with CRF during the period of 1990 to 2002 were analyzed. The aim was to investigate the epidemiology, natural history, clinical-pathological characteristics, treatment and outcome of the hospitalized children with CRF.
METHODSQuestionnaires concerning children with CRF were designed and distributed to the doctors of 91 hospitals in China. The criterion of CRF was creatinine clearance (CCr) < 50 ml/(min x 1.73 m(2)). The data were collected and analyzed.
RESULTSFrom January 1, 1990 to December 31, 2002, 1658 hospitalized children were diagnosed as CRF. The average annual cases of childhood CRF accounted for 1.31% (ranged from 0.72% to 1.75%) of the hospitalized cases with urologic-kidney diseases. In a comparison between 1990 - 1996 and 1997 - 2002, there were significant increases in the average annual number of cases of childhood CRF and the case ratio of CRF to urologic-kidney diseases (82 +/- 27 vs. 181 +/- 45 and 0.98 +/- 0.21 vs. 1.56 +/- 0.17, respectively, P < 0.001). Complete records were available for 1268 patients. The male to female ratio was 1.49:1. The mean age at the disease onset was 8.18 years. The mean duration of pre-diagnosis of CRF was 2.53 years. In this study, the main primary renal diseases causing CRF were chronic glomerulonephritis and nephrotic syndrome (52.7%). One-fourth of all cases had congenital and hereditary renal diseases, and the majority were renal hypoplasia and dysplasia. The main manifestations of CRF were anemia, gastrointestinal disorders, edema, hypertension and growth retardation. The mean serum creatinine and BUN were 594.7 micromol/L and 39.1 mmol/L, respectively. The cases with renal function >or= grade IV accounted for 80% of all cases. By renal ultrasound scanning, one-third of CRF children were found to have renal atrophy and a part of patients had cystic disorder. Most of the cases received conservative treatment. Dialysis therapy (including 66.5% of hemodialysis and 33.5% of peritoneal) was given to 15.8% of the patients. Twenty-nine cases received renal transplantation. The rate of graft survival was 93.1%. Follow-up was carried out for to 230 cases, the mean duration of follow-up was 2.36 years. One hundred and sixty-seven patients died during hospitalization over the 13-year review period. The main causes of death were cardiac failure and infections in addition to uremia.
CONCLUSIONThe incidence of CRF in children showed an increasing trend year after year. The main age of onset of the disease was school-age. The main primary renal diseases causing CRF were acquired renal diseases. Conservative treatment was the main therapy of CRF, but renal replacement therapy was initiated in some of the cases. The obvious difference between follow-up cases and lost cases warrants the need to establish a management system of childhood CRF.

Recent advances in dialysis and a multidisciplinary approach to pregnant patients with advanced chronic kidney disease provide a better outcome. A 38-yr-old female with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) became pregnant. She was undergoing hemodialysis (HD) and her kidneys were massively enlarged, posing a risk of intrauterine fetal growth restriction. By means of intensive HD and optimal management of anemia, pregnancy was successfully maintained until vaginal delivery at 34.5 weeks of gestation. We discuss the special considerations involved in managing our patient with regard to the underlying ADPKD and its influence on pregnancy.

Journal of Central South University(Medical Sciences) 2006;31(3):400-403
OBJECTIVE:
To analyze the etiology and the relevant factors such as age, sex, blood pressure, outcomes and causes of death in end stage renal disease (ESRD) with hemodialysis (HD) in some hospitals in Hunan province.
METHODS:
The retrospective analysis included 1,622 ESRD with HD patients. Data on the etiology, demographic and epidemiologic aspects of these patients were examined, and life expectancy and mortality rate were calculated.
RESULTS:
In 1,622 ESRD with HD patients, the average age at the start of HD was 46.91 +/- 15.41, and the male/female ratio was 1.45/1. As the leading cause, chronic glomerulonephritis accounted for 56.43%, followed by hypertensive nephropathy (12.58%), obstructive nephropathy (9.13%) and diabetic nephropathy (8.85%). In recent years, the constituent ratio of diabetic nephropathy rose. The number of ESRD maintenance HD (MHD) patients was 581. Among them, 43.7% remained MHD, 13.0% received renal transplantation, 19.9% were transferred to other hospitals for HD, 7.2% became peritoneal dialysis, 14.8% died, and 1.4% ceased treament for economic reasons. The longest MHD was 13 years. The 1st-year, 3rd-year and 5th-year survial rate of MHD patients was 93.53%, 68.92% and 62.51%, respectively. The leading cause of death was cardiovascular incidence. In this group of ESRD with (53.6%), and then cerebrovascular disorder (21.0%).
CONCLUSION
HD patients, the age of starting dialysis was 30 approximately 70. The first cause was chronic glomerulonephritis. As the age increased, the constituent ratio of diabetic nephropathy rose. In MHD patients, the 1st-year, 3rd-year and 5th-year survial rate of maintenance hemodialysis patients was 93.53%, 68.92% and 62.51%, respectively. The first cause of death was cardiovascular accidence, and then cerebrovascular disorder.
