Abstract

Dialysis is a therapy that aims to remove waste and excess fluid from the body. This method replaces the main function of the kidney. Two types of dialysis are known, namely Peritoneal Dialysis and Hemodialysis. Patients with chronic kidney failure are faced with these two treatment options. Both types of dialysis therapy have a risk of complications during the treatment period that can affect the quality of life of patients. The purpose of this study was to determine the differences in dialysis methods of patients with chronic kidney failure with CAPD (continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis) and hemodialysis in terms of kidney function (urea and creatinine).The research design used a cross-sectional comparative analytical research design. The independent variables were the action of hemodialysis and CAPD. The dependent variables were urea and creatinine. The study sample was patients with chronic kidney failure who underwent hemodialysis and CAPD at Saiful Anwar Hospital in Malang with 126 respondents using consecutive sampling technique. Data analyzed by Independent T-test (a = 0.05). The research instruments were laboratory urea and creatinine observation sheets.Respondents who received hemodialysis were 23 patients. The average value of respondents who underwent HD was equal to (12.93 ± 4.53) mg / dL and the average value of urea could be obtained at (144.89 ± 44.73) mg / dL. Respondents who received CAPD actions amounted to 20 patients. The average value of respondents who underwent CAPD was equal to (10.32 ± 4.1) mg / dL and the average value of urea could be obtained at (104.18 ± 48.2) mg / dL. There were no differences in kidney function in patients who received HD and CAPD (creatinine p value = 0.130; urea p value = 0.083).
