KUNOU YASUSHI Nagoya City West Medical Center Introduction: On-line hemodiafiltration (oHDF) machines usually have only one pump for dilution. Methods: How to design simultaneous pre- and post-dilution oHDF machines] 1)  Make oHDF machines with a blood pump, a pre-dilution pump and a post-dilution pump. Methods: How to design oHDF circuits] See the figure. We must avoid clotting at home. 1)  Blood often clots between the hemodiafilter and the venous chamber during post-dilution oHDF, because blood gets thicker. To avoid clotting, shorten the distance between the hemodiafilter and the venous chamber. To shorten it, place the venous Apoptosis inhibitor chamber right below the hemodiafilter in series. Fill

both the venous chamber and the air-free pressure chamber with blood. Then they have no air. This reduces clotting. Place a port on the post-dilution line to inject ESAs. Have the pre- and post-dilution lines connected to the blood line at the factory.

Place backflow prevention devices at the pre-dilution line, the post-dilution line connected to the venous chamber, the heparin line connected to the pre-dilution line, and the patient ends of the arteial and venous blood lines. Backflow prevention devices at patient ends GSK-3 beta phosphorylation do not cause clotting, because the ones in the needles do not. Note that you must turn the blood pump at 1000 ml/min for blood flow 600 ml/min and pre-dilution flow 400 ml/min. Results 1)  Blood rarely clots. Conclusion: Home oHDF is now easy.

Though there is decreased incidence of septic abortion by virtue of improved antenatal care, PRAKI related GNAT2 to post-partum sepsis, pregnancy induced hypertension and its complications still remain a therapeutic challenge to the nephrologist and obstetrician.

We intend to study the incidence, clinical spectrum, maternal and fetal outcome of PRAKI. Methods: All patients admitted to nephrology ward with pregnancy related acute kidney injury were included.Detailed clinical history and examination were done. Routine laboratory tests including entry and peak serum creatinine were noted. Duration of dialysis and renal, maternal and fetal outcome were also noted. Renal biopsy was done for routine indications and also when renal failure was unexplained for more than 3 weeks. Results: Total number of patients admitted with acute kidney injury during the study period was 1268, of whom 94(7.4%) had PRAKI. The age of patients with PRAKI ranged from 17 to 42 years with a mean of 25.3 ± 4.63 years. Of 94 patients 48(51%) were primi.Most common cause of PRAKI in our study was post partum sepsis(39.3%). Other causes included pre-eclampsia(20%), placental abruption(12.
