Introduction: The Peritoneal Dialysis (PD) is a preferable treatment option of the renal replacement in patients with chronic renal failure (CRF) end stage. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to review of articles published related to the contribution of nutrition to health promotion of patients undergoing haemodialysis.Materials and methods: A review of the Greek and international literature on the subject was Performed through the electronic databases Medline, Google Scholar, Scopus and the Association of Greek Academic Libraries Link (Heal-Link), using as key words the following terms:haemodialysis, renal failure, peritoneal dialysis, nutrition.Most of the articles used in this literature review were recently published. Only few old - dated articles were included in the study and the reason was their significant contribution to the field. The exclusion criteria for the articles were the languages except from English and Greek.Results:Patient’s diet must contain 1.3 g of protein per kilogram of body weight per day. Consumption of foods rich in carbohydrates should be limited. Patients should consume foods with the adequate quantity of phosphorus and potassium. Finally, they should have their sodium levels and fluid intake checked because sodium causes severe thirst that can lead to excessive fluid intake. As a result, the patient experiences swelling, shortness of breath and high blood pressure.Conclusion: Patients who undergo peritoneal dialysis must be checked regularly and pay special attention to their diets.

This study aimed to assess the social impact of COVID-19 on chronic kidney disease patients, a vulnerable population, by analysing the social problems that emerged and aggravated during the pandemic’s first phase. 117 CKD patients on treatment, referred to Social Work, participated in this study. New referrals were 37.6%, and 62.4% were aggravated situations, presenting mostly economic deprivation or lack of income, unemployment, and social isolation. The social intervention complexity was higher among those with aggravated social problems. The results allow social workers to plan interventions focused on the most relevant emerging issues in a pandemic challenging context.

Celem prezentowanego badania była ocena społecznego wpływu pandemii COVID-19 na pacjentów z przewlekłą chorobą nerek, populację szczególnie narażoną na liczne powikłania w przypadku zarażenia się wirusem SARS-CoV-2. Autorzy skupili się na analizie problemów społecznych, które pojawiły się i nasiliły w pierwszej fazie pandemii. W badaniu wzięło udział 117 pacjentów leczonych w CKD, skierowanych do otrzymania pomocy socjalnej. Zaobserwowano wzrost liczby osób kierowanych do otrzymania pomocy. Nowych zgłoszeń było 37,6%, a 62,4% z nich związane było z pogorszeniem społeczno-ekonomicznej sytuacji pacjenta – głównie deprywacją ekonomiczną lub brakiem dochodów, bezrobociem i izolacją społeczną. Złożoność interwencji socjalnej była wyższa wśród osób z nasilonymi problemami społecznymi. Wyniki otrzymanych badań mają nie tylko walor naukowy, lecz także praktyczny – pozwalają pracownikom socjalnym na planowanie pomocy skoncentrowanej na najistotniejszych problemach pojawiających się w kontekście wyzwań pandemicznych.
