The fast development of nephrology in the world, especially in the second half of the 20 th century demanded protocol (guidelines) for nephrological activity for all levels of medical care, of doctors and specialists. The International Society of Nephrology, the European Renal Association and other national associations created their own protocol (guidelines) for nephrological activity. The Macedonian Society of Nephrology, Dialysis, Transplantation and Artificial Organs (MSNDTAO) proclaimed the First Protocol for Performing Nephrological Activity in the Republic of Macedonia at the First Congress of the MSNDTAO, held in Ohrid 1993, and it was published in the Macedonian Medical Review, 1994; Supplement 14: 397-406 [1].

Patients And Methods: In the period 2008-10 at the Department of Nephrology in Skopje, Macedonia, a prospective and a longitudinal study study comprising 134 pregnant women was carried out. They had regular monthly check-ups in pregnancy and after delivery (1-8), when groups were defined as gestational hypertension, pre-existing hypertension, superimposed preeclampsia, and preeclampsia.
Aim: to determine differences in regulation of blood pressure and renal function in patients with moderate intake of alcohol (1-14 units per week).
Material And Methods: Cross-section study performed at the Department of Nephrology. Seventy-six patients admitted for diagnosis and treatment of hypertension were included.
Article Synopsis
- The study compares renal replacement therapy (RRT) data from Balkan countries with those from Western and Northern Europe using data from national renal registries.
- The findings reveal no significant difference in the incident number of patients receiving RRT per million population between both regions, although the mean age of incident patients in the Balkans is younger.
- The percentage of patients with Type 2 diabetes as a cause of renal failure is similar in both regions, indicating comparable underlying health issues contributing to renal conditions.
Background: Cardiovascular diseases are the most common causes of death among hemodialysis (HD) patients, yet the risk factors for these events have not been well established. Our study objective was to determine predictors of cardiovascular mortality, considering the non-traditional/disease-related and treatment-related/ cardiovascular risk factor in HD patients.
Material And Methods: Disease-related cardiovascular risk factors, such as anaemia, calcium-phosphate disorders, nutrition-inflammation and treatment/dialysis-related cardiovascular risk factors such as HD dose, using the index Kt/V were analyzed in 214 patients on HD.
