Macedonian Society of Nephrology

The principal haemodialysis (HD) in the Republic of Macedonia (RM) was performed in 1959 in a patient with intense renal disappointment (ARF) utilizing Kolff-Brigham pivoting drum counterfeit kidney at the Blood Transfusion Institute in Skopje. In 1965 the Renal Unit at the Dept. of Medicine, Medical Faculty, Skopje acquired a present day, new simulated "Websinger" kidney with sigma engine pump and potential outcomes for utilization of expendable Kolff "twin loop" dialyser. Somewhere around 1959 and 1971, HD was performed just in patients with ARF. In May 1971 at the Renal Unit, a Unit for endless HD was foun-ded and the system of upkeep haemodialysis (MHD) was begun with five Stut-tgart Fresenius machines and 12 patients dialysed on twin curl dialyzers. 1173 patients were dealt with in 18 HDC in the RM in 2007. 320 machines were utilized; 299 (93%) for bi-carbonate HD and 21 (7%) for acetic acid derivation HD. In all focuses the water for HD was procedure sed by opposite osmosis. There was no reuse of dialysers. All patients got the same treatment. The patients got epoetin (recombinant human erythropoetin – and ) to keep up hemoglobin somewhere around 100 and 120 g/L. Our patients got epoetin wager ween 62% and 100 % in HDC agreeing the individual need. The Cimino – Brescia blood vessel venous fistula was commonly utilized as changeless vascular access. Predominance of the HBV in patients on MHD fluctuated between 6–28% in various focuses. Predominance of HCV in patients on MHD was between 37–78% in a few focuses. Nosocomial contamination is presumably one of reasons for the so high pervasiveness of HCV in our patients. We don't have HIV contamination in patients on MHD. The survival rate of our patients treated with MHD was 60% at 5 years, 37% at 10 years, 25% at 15 years and 9% at 20 years. PD was begun in 1995 in kids and in 1996 in grown-ups. Presently, there are 24 grown-up patients treated with PD. Since 1985 film PE has been in standard use. Most helpful methods were performed on patients from the Dept. of Neurology. 1216 patients were on RRT in 2005. On HD were 1077 (89%), with transplanted kidney 121 (10%) and on PD – 18 (1%). 601, 4 patients were on RRT per million of populace. The movement of the Macedonian nephrology social orders helped a great deal in the advancement of the nephrology and dialysis welcoming recognized nephrologists from Europe and the world and exchanging the accomplishment of the world in our practice. Having at the top of the priority list that CKD, ESRD and RRT are an incredible weight for the wellbeing spending plan, we require early finding and treatment of CKD, i.e. aversion of kidney illness.
