Abstract

Background: Common warts are skin diseases which caused by human papilloma virus (HPV) infection. There are many modalities treatment for common warts, one of them is the application of 80% phenol solution that is classified as topical treatment. Purpose: To determine the healing time in treatment of common warts with the application of 80% phenol solution and it’s relation with age and sex of the patients. Methods: Open clinical trial was done at Dr. Pirngadi General Hospital Medan and H. Adam Malik General Hospital Medan from February to June 2013 on 17 patients with common warts. The application of 80% phenol solution was performed on patients and continued every week until complete regression, maximum of 6 weeks. Follow up was carried out every week for six weeks to observe healing time. Data were analyzed by Mann-Whitney test with α=0,05. Result: After six weeks, 11 patients (64,7%) were healed. Healing time was varied from 3 to 6 weeks, mostly 4 weeks (45,4%). Result of Mann-Whitney test showed statistically significant relationship between healing time and age (p=0,027) whereas the healing time were faster on patient 14 years and older, and no relation between healing time and sex (p=0,422). Conclusion: There was relation between healing time in application of 80% phenol solution with age in treatment of common warts and no relation with the sex of the patient.Key words: common warts, 80% phenol solution.

Abstract

Background. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) remains a significant global health issue because it often leads to long-term complications that affect patients’ physiological and functional status. One factor that may influence disease progression and symptom burden is the imbalance of calcium and phosphate levels. Objective. This study aims to evaluate the association between calcium–phosphate levels, the severity of pruritus, and the quality of life in CKD patients receiving hemodialysis at Prof. dr. Chairuddin P. Lubis Hospital, Universitas Sumatera Utara, Medan. Methods. A correlational analytic design was employed using the Slovin formula, resulting in 63 respondents selected through a cross-sectional approach. Data were obtained from laboratory findings, medical records, and standardized questionnaires collected between August and October 2025. Results. Most respondents were in the 46–65-year age group (54%), with women representing 55.6% of the sample. A total of 58.7% were unemployed, 31.7% identified as Batak, and 58.7% had completed senior high school. Nearly half of the patients had undergone hemodialysis for more than 36 months (45%), and 62.5% presented with normal calcium–phosphate levels. Moderate pruritus, assessed using the 5D Itch Scale, was the most common category (56.3%), while the KDQOL-36 indicated that 45.3% of patients had a moderate quality of life. Statistical testing revealed a significant association between calcium–phosphate levels and pruritus severity (p = 0.044), as well as quality of life (p = 0.011). Conclusion. Calcium–phosphate balance is significantly related to both pruritus severity and quality of life in CKD patients undergoing hemodialysis at RS CPL USU.
