Chronic Renal Failure (CRF) is a disease caused due to kidney damage or deterioration glomerulus filtrate rate (GFR/GFR/Glomerular Filtration Rate) <60 ml/min /1.73 m2 for ≥ 3 months. One of the complications that often appears in CRF is anemia or decrease of hemoglobin level in the blood that is related to the relationship intake of nutrients (protein, vitamin C, folic acid and iron). The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship Intake of nutrients (protein, vitamin C, folic acid and iron) on Hb levels of chronic renal failure patients undergoing hemodialysis in RSI Siti Khadijah Palembang. This type of research is an observational analytic with a cross-sectional study design. Population in this study were all outpatients with chronic renal failure undergoing hemodialysis in RSI Siti Khadijah Palembang with total research subjects were 50 subjects, taken using purposive sampling and analyzed using chi-square test. The result showed that there are 52% of patients with chronic renal failure are male more than female. The aged 50-64 years old is 44% and 30-49 years old are 32%. The percentage of outpatients who had an adequate intake of protein, vitamin C, folic acid and iron were 28%, 10%, 0%, and 18% respectively, meanwhile, most of the patients had low hemoglobin levels which were 94%. There was not a significant association between intake of nutrients (protein, vitamin C, folic acid and iron) on Hb levels of chronic renal failure patients undergoing hemodialysis in RSI Siti Khadijah Palembang. Based on these results, should be noted again nutrient intake (protein, vitamin C, folic acid and iron) outpatient before and after undergoing hemodialysis to support the optimal outcome of hemodialysis therapy.

This study describes our experience with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) over a four year period, during which 88 patients were offered CAPD. It compares and contrasts the response to CAPD among four racial groups in Natal viz asiatics, blacks, coloureds and whites. Peritonitis -the major complication, occurred with an overall incidence of one episode every 4.41 patient months. CAPD remains a useful alternative therapy in developing countries where a high percentage of patients with chronic renal failure would be denied a chronic renal failure program because of lack of expertise in hemodialysis and/or renal transplantation, or limited financial resources. Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) was first described by Moncrief and Popovich (1) and, since its modification by Oreopoulos and his group (2), this technique has gained world wide usage. South Africa, like many developing countries has a high incidence of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) but because of lack of resources and economical problems, few patients with ESRD can be treated by dialysis or renal transplantation. CAPD affords a relatively simple and inexpensive form of therapy for these patients. At the present time about 200 patients are on CAPD in South Africa. Natal, the smallest of four provinces in South Africa, has a population of about five million, the majority being blacks. The minority groups include whites, asiatics and coloureds. There is only one chronic dialysis centre in Natal; situated in Durban, it serves the entire province including parts of the Transkei. This paper describes a four-year experience with CAPD in this mixed population and discusses problems unique to this situation.
