Introduction and Aim: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a debilitating illness characterized by physical, mental, socioeconomic and psychosocial disability. Being a literature has documented evidences of increased risk of depression and sleep disturbances among these patients, which indirectly affect the quality of life. The present study was carried out to evaluate the burden of depression and sleep disturbances among dialysis patients.  Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out among 160 patients on maintenance dialysis. A structured proforma was used to document the particulars regarding CKD care. Sleep Quality, Depression status of patients were assessed using Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Beck’s Depression Inventory (BDI) and Kt/V formula respectively.   Results: Hemodialysis inadequacy was prevalent among 79.4% of the participants. About 51.3% were suffering from moderate depression. Severe sleep disturbance was seen in 88.7% of the participants. The present study observed a statistically significant association between dialysis vintage and depression (p<0.05). Similar association was seen between frequency of dialysis and sleep disturbances (p<0.05).  Conclusion: The prevalence of sleep disturbances and depression was higher among the maintenance hemodialysis patients receiving dialysis for more than 2 years and also with a frequency of twice a week. It may be inferred that by increasingthe frequency and the dosage of dialysis in patients the quality of sleep can be adequately improved and thereby it may lower the depressive state in patients.

Abstract. Objective: Hemodialysis patients are prone to malnutrition because of diet or many uremic complications. The objective of this study is to determine whether thiamine deficiency is associated with regular dialysis patients. Methods: To determine whether thiamine deficiency is associated with regular dialysis patients, we measured thiamine in 100 patients undergoing consecutive dialysis. Results: Average thiamine levels were not low in both pre-hemodialysis (50.1 ± 75.9 ng/mL; normal range 24 - 66 ng/mL) and post-hemodialysis (56.4 ± 61.7 ng/mL). In 18 patients, post-hemodialysis levels of thiamine were lower than pre-hemodialysis levels. We divided the patients into two groups, the decrease (Δthiamine/pre thiamine < 0; - 0.13 ± 0.11) group (n = 18) and the increase (Δthiamine/pre thiamine> 0; 0.32 ± 0.21)) group (n = 82). However, there was no significance between the two groups in Kt/V or type of dialyzer. Patients were dichotomized according to median serum thiamine level in pre-hemodialysis into a high-thiamine group (≥ 35.5 ng/mL) and a low-thiamine group (< 35.4 ng/mL), and clinical characteristics were compared between the two groups. The low-thiamine value group (< 35.4 ng/ml; 26.8 ± 5.3 ng/ml) exhibited lower levels of serum aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase than the high-thiamine value group (≥ 35.4 ng/ml; 73.5 ± 102.5 ng/ml) although there was no significance in nutritional marker, Alb, geriatric nutritional risk index , protein catabolic rate and creatinine generation rate. Conclusion: In our regular dialysis patients, excluding a few patients, we did not recognize thiamine deficiency and no significant difference in thiamine value between pre and post hemodialysis.
