Analysis of Differences in the Adequacy of Single Use and Reuse to 1 Hemodialysis in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease

Abstract

Background: Hemodialysis therapy is very expensive, so a new dialyzer that has been used by a patient must be recycled for use by the same patient again. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of the use of a new dialyzer and the 1st reused dialyzer on the adequacy of hemodialysis in patients in the hemodialysis unit of RSUD Ibnu Sina, Gresik. Methods: This research is a pre-experimental research using a two group post test only design approach. The research sample was 20 respondents, sampling in this study used purposive sampling type. The statistical test used was the Wilcoxon Rank Sum Test and the Mann Whitney test. The independent variable was the use of a new dialyzer and a reused dialyzer I. The dependent variable was adequacy of hemodialysis. Results: The test results showed a significance (α) of 0.037 so that <0.05, meaning that there was a significant difference in the use of a new dialyzer and a reused dialyzer I on hemodialysis adequacy in chronic kidney disease patients in the Hemodialysis Room of RSUD Ibnu Sina Kab. Gresik, it is proven that the reused diaizer I is more effective than the new dialer. Conclusion: The effectiveness of using a new and reused dialyzer I can influence whether or not the hemodialysis adequacy is adequate.
