$Digoxin^{(R)}$을 복용하고 있지 않는 각27명의 만성 신부전 환자 및 신생아의 혈청에서 Gammacoat $Digoxin^{(R)}$ kit와 Amerlex Digoxin $RIA^{(R)}$ kit를 이용하여 digoxin과 교차 면역반응을 보이는 내인성 물질(이하 DLI: Digoxin-like Immunoreactivity)을 측정하여 다음의 결과를 얻었다. 1) Gammacoat $Digoxin^{(R)}$ kit로 측정시 27명의 만성 신부전 환자중 12명에서 신생아의 경우는 27명 전원에서 측정 하한치 이상의 DLI가 검출된 반면, Amerlex Digoxin $RIA^{(R)}$ kit로는 1명을 제외한 양 군의 전원에서 DLI가 관찰되지 않았다. 만성 신부전 환자에서 Gammacoat $Digoxin^{(R)}$ kit로 측정된 DLI와 혈청 BUN/Creatinine 값 사이에는 유의한 상관 관계가 없었다. 2) 만성 신부전 환자 및 신생아의 pooled sera에 가한 digoxin의 수거율은 각각 49%, 40%였다. 3) 만선 신부전 환자 및 신생아의 pooled sera에서 측정되는 DLI의 희석 curve는 정상 희석 curve와 다르다고 할 수 없었다. 4) 만성 신부전 환자의 pooled sera에서 측정되는 DLI의 16%, 그리고 신생아의 pooled sera 에서 측정되는 DLI의 20%가 trypsin에 sensitive하였다. 5) 만성 신부전 환자의 pooled sera에서 측정되는 DLI의 56%가, 그리고 신생아의 pooled sera에서 측정되는 DLI의 경우는 전체의 20%미만이 methylene chloride로 추출되었다. 이상에서 만성 신부전 환자 및 신생아의 혈청에서는 방사면역 kit의 증류에 따라 DLI가 검출되며 그 실체를 알기 위해서는 더욱 연구가 필요하다고 할 수 있었다.

만성 신부전환자에서 isoniazid(INH)의 약동학적 변화여부를 검토하고 특히 N-acetylation 대사능의 억제 여부를 평가함으로써 만성신부전환자에서 적정 INH 항결핵 요법율 위한 기본자료를 제공코자 하였다. 본 연구는 pararell group 디자인에 의한 일차 연구와 sequential 디자인에 의한 2차연구로 진행하였다. 일차 연구는 37명의 정상 성인군과 14명의 만성신부전 환자군을 대상으로 INH 400 mg 경구 투여 후 INH 및 AcINH의 약동학적 성상을 비교하였다. 이차연구는 만성신부전 환자에서 신이식에 따른 INH의 acetylation 대사능의 변화를 관찰코자 1차연구에 참여하고 성공적인 신이식을 받은 환자 10명을 대상으로 INH 및 AcINH의 약동학적 검토를 재시행하였으며, 이러한 연구 방법을 통하여 만성 신부전 환자에서 Acetylation 대사능의 변화를 검토하였다.

Purpose : We analyzed the demogaphic data md clinical course of Korean children with chronic renal failure (CRF) observed between 1990 and 1999. Patients and Methods : Questionnaires were mailed to all children's hospitals ail through the country. We asked for primary renal disease age and serum creatinine levels at first presentation with CRF and end-stage renal disease (ESRD), and modes of renal replacement therapy (RRT). Results : 401 children (254 boys, 147 girls) with CRF, defined as a permanent increase of serum creatinine above 1.2 mg/dl for at least 3 months or until death, were identified. This represents an incidence of 3.68 per million child population per year. Of these patients, 22$\%$ on younger than 5 years, 28$\%$ 5 to 10 years and 50$\%$ 10 to 15 year. Eight five $\%$ of the patients could be classified with a primary renal disease. The most frequent cause is glomerulonephritis (36$\%$), followed by chronic pyelonephritis (21$\%$), renal hrpo/dylplasia (9$\%$), and hereditary nephropathies (7$\%$). Reflux nephropathy (16$\%$) was the most common single cause of CRF. ESRD was reached in 70$\%$ of all patient. 99.3$\%$ of these started RRT. Hemodialysis (HD, 42$\%$), peritoneal dialysis (PD, 35$\%$) and transplantation (TP, 23$\%$) were performed as the initial mode of RRT. A total of 161 TPs were performed (159 first grafts, 2 second grafts). A total of 32 patients died. The main causes of death were dialysis related complication in HD patients and infections in PD patients. Survival rate on any form of RRT was 88.7$\%$ during the mean follow-up period of 37 months. Conclusion Major efforts should be directed toward earlier diagnosis and treatment of reflux nephropathy to prevent occurrence of Of. Dialysis and TP have now become well accepted forms of treatment in Korean children with ESRD.

만성신부전을 진단받고 관리를 해나가는 일은 많은 변화를 요구하며 매우 어려운 일이다. 환자와 가족들이 어떠한 어려움을 경험하는지를 살펴보고, 사회복지사들이 어떤 도움이 될 수 있는지 이야기하고자 한다. 추가적으로 만성신부전 환자들이 이용할 수 있는 사회복지제도 서비스 소개를 하고자 한다.

It is now generalized to perform cardiac surgery in the patients with end-stage renal disease. The growing number of patients with chronic renal failure wake us up to the need to prepare for proper management. There are not only the prevalence of coronary artery disease, but also a great amount of valve dysfunction exist in this group. Peritoneal dialysis may be one of the obstacles for cardiopulmonary bypass but it is not a great hindrance in cardiac surgery with careful preparation and well organized perioperative care. The author has performed mitral valve replacement in a 33-year-old anuric female patient with chronic renal failure and severe mitral insufficiency. Preoperatively, the patient was kept in adequate fluid and electrolyte balance using peritoneal dialysis. Peritoneal dialysis continued and regulated according to the laboratory data in this patient during and after the surgery. She recovered well showing an uneventful course and was discharged on postoperative 1 th day.

A 56-year old female underwent total aortic arch replacement March 1995, because of an expanding chronic Debakey type I aortic dissection. This aortic dissection had an intimal tear at the origin of the right carotid artery. Retrograde and antegrade propagation of dissection resulted in aortic arch blood flow separation and expanding pseudolumen to the abdominal aorta. Sudden anuria(ARF) developed 3 hours later postoperatively and renal doppler ultrasonography and aortography showed diminished blood flow of renal arteries. We performed balloon aortic dilatation but failed. She could be restored good renal flow after intimal flap fenestration resection and thrombectomy of the abdominal aorta. This patient could be discharged in a state of mild CRF after 2 months of ICU care for respiratory and renal failure.

This study has been conducted to investigate the effect of self awareness of halitosis on the quality of life related to oral health in patients with chronic renal failure undergoing hemodialysis and use basic data related to oral health of patients with chronic renal failure which is very rare in Korea. In terms of oral symptoms based on awareness of halitosis, there were significant differences in symptoms of teeth pain in the past one month, bleeding gums, symptoms of tongue or cheek pain, dry mouth, In terms of status of oral functions, there were significant differences in discomfort upon chewing foods, difficulty of pronunciation and presence of lost teeth. As the results of analysis of effect of self awareness of halitosis on the quality of life related to oral health in patients with chronic renal failure, it was shown that there were significant effects in psychological discomfort(B=-2.028, p<.01), poor social skills(B=2.596, p<.01) and social disadvantage(B=-2.173, p<.01). Thus, because self awareness of halitosis gives psychologically and socially negative effects, it could be an important factor to patients with renal failure whose number is rapidly increasing.

Background: Cardiogenic pulmonary edema increases nonspecific airway responsiveness in humans and animals. Increased extravascular lung water from overt pulmonary edema to subclinical interstitial edema is a common finding in patients with chronic renal failure. Several studies carried out to assess pulmonary function disturbances in this condition have documented a reduction in forced expiratory volume that usually reverses after hemodialysis, suggesting airway edema as the underlying mechanism. This interstitial edema may also lead to nonspecific bronchial hyperresponsiveness. We hypothesized that patients with chronic renal failure may present nonspecific bronchial hyperresponsiveness due to subclinical interstitial pulmonary edema. Methods: We studied 18 chronic renal failure undergoing regular hemodialysis 3 times a week(New York Heart Association Class II) without concomittent disease. These patients were checked pulmonary function test and metacholine provocation test before hemodialysis and same procedure was repeated if responsive, after hemodialysis. Results: 1) 12 out of 18 patients before hemodialysis were reactive in metacholine provocation test(66.7%) before hemodialysis. This airway hyperresponsiveness were decreased after hemodialysis. 2) Pulmonary function was improved after hemodialysis and change in $FEV_1$ was correlated with change in weight(r=-0.62, p<0.01). 3) There was a close correlation between log $PD_{20}$ and $FEF_{25}$, which is one of the variables of the peripheral airways(r=0.58, p<0.05). Conclusion: We speculated interstitial pulmonary edema may play a significant role in bronchial hyperresponsiveness and lung function impaired in patients with chronic renal failure.
