Electroneurographic examination of n. medianus, n. ulnaris, n. tibialis and n. fibularis was performed in 23 patients (15 men and 8 women) at mean age 52.1 years and mean duration of hemodialysis treatment 42.1 months. All patients had electroneurographic symptoms of peripheral polyneuropathy. The duration of hemodialysis treatment had no effect on the severity of the neurologic injury. Significant correlation was found between the severity of anemia and the peripheral nerve injury. According to the authors' data, essential for the development and severity of the uremic polyneuropathy was also the severity of the uremic syndrome.

School of Nursing and Midwifery, Griffith University, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.
Background: Globally, haemodialysis is the most frequent type of kidney replacement therapy and necessitates access to the bloodstream either through a native arteriovenous fistula, arteriovenous graft or central venous catheter. Vascular access complications are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in adults receiving haemodialysis, and effective vascular access self-management is required.
Objective: To examine the effectiveness of educational or behavioural interventions designed to improve self-management of long-term vascular access in adults receiving haemodialysis.

Background: Pharmacotherapy of chronic kidney disease (CKD) consists of prescribing myriad of drugs such as antihypertensives, antidiabetics, and phosphate binders to delay disease progression and control the comorbidities, resulting in inherent variability in prescriptions. In addition, tendency to self-medicate may further aggravate the condition. Hence, the present study was planned to assess self-medication practices and variability in prescription patterns in CKD patients.
