Abstract

Chronic kidney disease refers to a progressive condition characterized by an irreversible decline in kidney function and generally requires hemodialysis therapy. This therapy can affect hemoglobin levels, which play an important role in oxygen transport and metabolic balance. This study aims to describe hemoglobin levels before and after hemodialysis in patients with chronic kidney disease. The study is a descriptive quantitative approach with a sample of 30 patients undergoing routine hemodialysis, selected using total sampling. Venous blood samples were collected before and after hemodialysis and analyzed using an automated hematology analyzer based on electrical impedance. The data were analyzed descriptively to characterize the distribution of hemoglobin levels and changes in hemoglobin levels during hemodialysis. The results indicated that most patients had hemoglobin levels below the reference value both before and after hemodialysis, with a tendency to decrease after hemodialysis. This pattern was observed across age groups and genders, suggesting that hemodialysis may contribute to changes in hemoglobin levels. These findings emphasize the importance of routine hematological monitoring in hemodialysis patients as part of clinical laboratory services to support early detection and management of anemia in chronic kidney disease.

Abstract

Chronic kidney failure is a progressive condition characterized by a decline in kidney function, leading to an inability to eliminate metabolic waste from the body. Hemodialysis is used as a renal replacement therapy to assist in the blood cleansing process and maintain the patient's physiological balance. This study aims to analyze differences in serum creatinine levels in patients with chronic kidney failure before and after undergoing hemodialysis at the Bali Husada Cipta Canthi Clinic in Denpasar City. The study used an analytical observational design with a cross-sectional approach to 18 patients with end-stage chronic kidney failure, selected through total sampling. Serum creatinine levels were obtained from laboratory tests before and after a single hemodialysis session. The analysis used a paired sample t-test. The results showed a decrease in serum creatinine levels after hemodialysis compared with pre-procedure levels. It indicates the therapy's effectiveness in reducing the accumulation of metabolic waste in the blood. However, post-hemodialysis creatinine levels remained above normal reference values, reflecting the limitations of hemodialysis in entirely replacing kidney function. These findings emphasize the importance of monitoring serum creatinine as a clinical indicator of therapeutic response. Patients with chronic renal failure need to undergo hemodialysis consistently and continuously.

Abstract

Soil-transmitted helminth infection remains a persistent public health concern, particularly among school-aged children who are frequently exposed to contaminated environments and may have suboptimal personal hygiene practices. This study aimed to identify the presence of soil-transmitted helminth eggs in students’ fingernails at an elementary school in Bali, Indonesia. A descriptive cross-sectional design was employed, involving 30 students selected through purposive sampling. Fingernail samples were collected and examined using the flotation method with saturated sodium chloride solution, followed by microscopic observation. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics to determine the distribution of positive and negative findings. The results showed that a small proportion of samples were positive for helminth eggs, with only Ascaris lumbricoides identified, while the majority of samples were negative. These findings suggest that although fingernails can serve as a potential medium for helminth transmission, the level of contamination in this population appears relatively low. Nevertheless, the presence of positive cases indicates the continued importance of maintaining proper personal hygiene, particularly handwashing and regular nail care. This study highlights the relevance of simple preventive measures and supports the role of school-based hygiene education in reducing the risk of helminth infection among children.
