Introduction: Hemodialysis is the preferred method of treatment for Nepalese patients with End Stage Renal Disease. Despite the technological advances and better understanding of physiology associated with hemodialysis, a number of complications are known to be associated with hemodialysis. This study was undertaken to study the frequency of acute intradialytic complications in patients undergoing hemodialysis. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at Nephrology unit of a tertiary care hospital from 15 June, 2007 to 15 December, 2007. A total of 28 patients were included in the study. Patients with acute renal failure and acute on chronic renal failure were excluded from the study. Results: Total sessions of hemodialysis during the period were 1455. Hypotensive episode were 66 (4.5%) and was the commonest complication and followed by hypertensive episodes were 58 (3.8%). Other problems encountered were transfusion reactions were 23 episodes (1.5%), rigors not related to transfusions were 13 episodes (0.8%), nausea/vomiting were 20 episodes (1.4%), muscle cramps were 12 episodes (0.8%), hypoglycemia were 6 episodes 5(0.4%). Conclusions: The frequency of intradialytic complications is low and many of them are not life threatening. Keywords: complications; end stage renal disease; hemodialysis; hypertension; hypotension.

The prognosis of the infant, child, or adolescent with chronic renal failure, defined as an irreversible reduction in glomerular filtration rate, has improved during the past quarter century because of the use of dialysis and renal transplantation. These have prolonged lives in previously fatal situations. Because the potential not only to sustain life but also to effect full rehabilitation exists with the introduction of these treatments, it is now imperative that the multisystem consequences of uremia be either minimized or totally avoided in the pediatric patient with chronic renal failure. The role of the pediatrician in managing the infant, child, or adolescent with chronic renal failure should be directed toward minimizing the potentially devastating consequences of uremia so that the patient is in optimal clinical condition when end stage renal disease occurs. INCIDENCE It is difficult to know the incidence and prevalence of chronic renal failure and end stage renal disease in children. Surveys in Europe and North America have been conducted to obtain precise information regarding these issues; not only have the definitions included in these surveys differed, but the upper and lower age limits defining pediatric patients have not been uniform. The available data suggest a prevalence of chronic renal failure of 18.5 per 1 million child population and an incidence of end stage renal disease of from 3 to 6 children per 1 million total population.

Management of early renal failure helps in the reduction or prevention of end-stage renal disease. The monitoring of renal function is discussed, and the chapter includes a table that shows commonly used methods for monitoring. Risk factors for chronic renal failure include stroke and cardiac disease. Risk factors for renal disease progression are diabetes mellitus, hypertension, proteinuria, smoking, protein intake, and hyperlipidemia. Complications of chronic renal failure that are addressed include sodium and water imbalance, potassium imbalance, acidosis, calcium and phosphorus imbalance, and anemia. There is also a section that discusses the case for early referral to a nephrologist. Tables present the equations used to estimate the glomerular filtration rate (GFR); stages of chronic kidney disease and the appropriate steps in their management; risk factors for chronic kidney disease in which the testing of proteinuria and estimation of GFR are indicated; appropriate diet for patients who have chronic kidney disease; and guidelines for diagnosing and treating anemia resulting from chronic kidney disease. An algorithm outlines the steps in management of calcium and phosphate in patients with kidney disease. This review contains 3 figures, 10 tables and 50 references Key Words End-stage renal disease, chronic kidney disease, glomerular filtration rate, Modification of Diet in Renal Disease, Proteinuric renal disease, Hyperuricemia

Objective: To determine the current pattern and prevalence of renal diseases in childhood in this region of Nepal. Material and Methods: A retrospective study of the renal diseases in children attending the Pediatric OPD and those hospitalised in Manipal Teaching Hospital, Pokhara was done over a period of 6 years (September 2000- September 2006). A detailed clinical and laboratory evaluation was performed at baseline. The children were managed according to disease diagnosed. These cases are under follow up and some have undergone surgical treatment. Results: 228 children (123 boys & 105girls) were diagnosed to have renal disease. Among them 39.5% had urinary tract infection (UTI), 30.7 % were suffering from acute glomerulonephritis (AGN), 17.5% were cases of nephrotic syndrome (NS) and 12 % had some other problems for example, 6.14% had genetic defects, 2.63% had renal Stone, 2.2% had pre-renal acute renal failure, unexplained recurrent hematuria in 1.3%. All the cases of UTI underwent through investigation and were treated accordingly. All cases of AGN are planned for follow up for 1½ yrs and among them 3 required biopsy till date. All cases of NS are under regular follow-ups and 2 have undergone biopsy. Renal stone was operated successfully. All cases of acute and chronic renal failures had required dialysis. Out of 5 (2.5%) chronic renal failures, 2 with end stage renal disease expired after repeated hemodialysis and three are still requiring dialysis. Among the obstructive uropathies, 43 % had renal stone, 36 % had posterior urethral valve and 21% VUR. Conclusion: It can be concluded that renal disease is not uncommon in children. It can be completely cured with proper and adequate treatment. Sometimes it has a bad prognosis when it reaches end stage renal disease. Early recognition, timely treatment and regular follow up are mandatory in management of children with renal diseases.
