“…This concept was concomitantly developed by Dr. Kolff in the Netherlands and led to the first apparatus available for clinical use. 2 Dr. Kolff's drum dialyzer fed blood through cellophane tubing wrapped around a rotating drum sitting in a bath of dialysate. The rotation of the drum moved blood through the dialysis bath, and then blood flow return to the patient was controlled using a burette.…”

A century of nephrology nursing. The first fifty years (1915-1959)The aim of this study is to describe the main stages in the development of nephrology nursing in its centurylong history as evidenced by the existing documentation in Europe and the USA. Two key periods will be highlighted. The first, preceding the introduction of renal replacement therapy by dialysis, is distinguished by a professional attitude oriented towards preserving residual renal function and preventing complications. The second, concurrent with the introduction of dialysis, is distinguished by the need to broaden professional skills from a clinical, technical and educational point of view. The activity of major nurses marked these two stages. While growing, nephrology nursing changed its professional goals and adapted them to scientific progress in the broadest sense, but also to the central position of the individual in the healthcare process, the quality of outcomes, and the rational use of resources. This paper deals with a professional history that makes the nephrology nurse a unique figure in the nursing universe.

Anche se molti dei contenuti presentano un carattere memorialistico essi ugualmente appartengono a un patrimonio culturale e di esperienza che non può essere perduto.

“…A good access for hemodialysis requires the matching of some requirements such as being ready for use as soon as possible, providing sufficient blood flow with a dialysis machine, easy and safe cannulation, enabling repeated cannulation, and long-term sufficiency (1). Native arteriovenous (AV) fistulas, which are the most commonly used access line, enable sufficient and repeated hemodialysis applications and improves the rate of survival and quality of life in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) when performed timely in an appropriate anatomic location using a fine technique (2,3).…”

Objective: The aim of the present study is to evaluate the relationship between demographic characteristics, hematological and biochemical parameters, and elements of the coagulation system that may predispose a person to thrombosis or to anatomical and functional parameters in Doppler ultrasonography scanning and the maturation and adequacy of arteriovenous fistulas. Materials and Methods:Overall, 36 patients who underwent a native arteriovenous fistula operation were included. Biochemical parameters, hematological parameters, the coagulation system, and a Doppler ultrasonography evaluation were performed before an arteriovenous fistula operation on day 1 after the fistula operation and at the time point when the arteriovenous fistula became dysfunctional.Results: A thrombus occurred between 1 and 73 days (mean: 28.4±26.1) in 10 patients. It was found that the female gender (p<0.001), presence of thrill (p=0.014), quality of vein (p<0.001), peak systolic velocity and end-diastolic velocity of the radial artery at the snuffbox region on day 1 after the operation (p=0.035 and p=0.049, respectively), and the cephalic vein diameter in the Brescia-Cimino region (p=0.011) were associated with thrombosis formation. No relation was found among blood pressure, fistula region, quality of artery, spasm of artery and vein, hematologic and biochemical parameters, coagulation parameters, active protein C resistance, anti-cardiolipin antibody, D-dimer, C-reactive protein, or erythrocyte sedimentation rate and thrombosis formation (p>0.05).Conclusion: Thrombosis occurs at a relatively early period in approximately a quarter of arteriovenous fistulas. Female gender, quality of vein, and the absence of thrill in the post-operative period are important factors in thrombosis formation.
