The discussion was initiated by a paper on the influence of a pre-dialysis education programme on the mode of renal replacement therapy by Goovaerts et al (NDT 2005). Barriers to the uptake of self-care treatment modalities, including late referral, limited availability of treatment options, reimbursement, support from staff and families, the requirement for a helper and the length of the training programmes for home haemodialysis (HD) were discussed by 21 participants from 12 countries. The 'take-home' messages from the discussion were that to optimise the uptake of self-care modalities, renal units should try to ensure the all patients who are able to choose are fully informed before starting dialysis, even if they are referred to the unit very late. Offering a wide range of treatment options to new patients, and allowing (or encouraging) home HD without a helper, may also increase the number of patients who start and stay on a self-care modality. It should be possible to provide an acceptable level of training, without compromising on safety, within 3 weeks if the patient is confident with needling.

Plasma Metabolite Profiles Between In-Center Daytime Extended-Hours and Conventional Hemodialysis.

Background: Protein-energy wasting, characterized by disordered body protein catabolism resulting from metabolic and nutritional derangements, is associated with adverse clinical outcomes in patients undergoing hemodialysis. Extended-hours hemodialysis (≥6 h per treatment session) offers both enhanced removal of uremic solutes and better fluid management, generally allowing more liberalized dietary protein and calorie intake. This study aimed to evaluate the difference in plasma metabolite profiles among patients receiving in-center daytime extended-hours hemodialysis and those receiving conventional hemodialysis.

Home dialysis rates have improved little over the past five years. Lack of pre-dialysis patient education persists as an obstacle precluding greater improvement. In this study, barriers to chronic kidney disease (CKD) education at patient and provider levels were addressed using telehealth education for patients with CKD Stages 4-5 in a nonacademic outpatient nephrology practice.

- * A study involving 50 patients with end-stage renal disease measured inflammatory markers (hs-CRP and IL-6), albumin levels, and body mass index before and three months after undergoing dialysis, with results indicating that hs-CRP levels were notably higher in the HD group compared to CAPD.
- * The findings suggest that patients undergoing hemodialysis experience a greater inflammatory burden, as indicated by higher hs-CRP
Effect of Dietary Phosphate Restriction in Pre-Dialysis Chronic Kidney Disease Patients with Hyperphosphataemia in Southern Nigeria.

Background: Hyperphosphataemia is a common cardiovascular risk factor in chronic kidney disease (CKD). Dietary counseling and control are key aspects in the management of CKD. Although some studies have shown the beneficial effects of dietary phosphate restriction on cardiovascular and bone health in haemodialysis patients, little is known about its effect in pre-dialysis CKD patients.

Introduction: The effect of shared decision-making (SDM) regarding the choice of renal replacement therapy (RRT) for chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients on their mortality after the induction of dialysis therapy has not been adequately investigated.
Methods: Patients who initiated dialysis at our hospital were divided into two groups according to whether they participated in SDM in the outpatient clinic, and survival analysis was performed. We also examined the effect of SDM in the outpatient clinic on mortality.
