Mabuhay! 2018 was indeed a very good year for the PGH MFI. We had very success-ful fund raising events like our Art Auction and our Golf Tournament. We have also expanded the coinbank program. We have received corporate donations that allowed us to finish various projects of the PGH, like the Pediatric Intermediate Care Unit, the

Pediatric Peritoneal Dialysis Unit, the Human Milk Bank and many other smaller projects. One of our most successful projects was the Hygiene Kits we give to each and every admitted PGH patient. The Foundation wishes to expand the assistance to the PGH patients further but to be able to do this, we need to improve our fund raising activities, corporate and individual solici-tations, and rely on the spirit of volunteerism. The Foundation had a Strategic Planning Work-shop last March 14 & 15, 2019 to map out our future direction. We are tempered by our desire to give more help to more people and our concern for the continuing survival of the Foundation. 2019 Should be a better year. More thanks to our very generous sponsors.

Peritoneal Dialysis for Children: A Dream Come True for PGH

By Dr. Dolores D. Bonzon

Section Chief of Pediatric Nephrology

Kidney failure can affect chil-

dren of all races and age groups from

infants to adolescents and can have a

significant effect on a child’s growth,

development, and quality of life.

Worldwide, the incidence of end-

stage renal disease in children is in-

creasing. In the US, approximately

1,300 children are likely to develop

permanent kidney failure or End-

Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) every

year. The main causes of kidney fail-

ure in children are birth defects of the

kidney, blockage or reflux of the uri-

nary tract, genetic kidney diseases,

and Focal Segmental Glomeruloscle-

rosis (FSGS). The incidence of end-

stage renal disease in the Philippines

is at 120 per million populations for

both adult and pediatric patients and

the most common causes of End-

Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) among Filipinos are diabetes, hypertension and chronic glomerulonephritis.

When a child develops ESRD, he or she must receive Renal Replacement Therapy (RRT). RRT replaces the

work the kidneys do for the body, removing excess fluid, waste removal, and regulation of electrolytes. There are two main

types of RRT for ESRD, dialysis and a kidney transplant. A kidney transplant is usually the best treatment because it is the clos-

est thing to having normal kidneys, but sometimes it is not possible for a kidney transplant to happen right away. Therefore di-

alysis is often necessary before getting a transplant. There are two types of dialysis treatment available, either Hemodialysis

(HD) or Peritoneal Dialysis (PD).

HD is when blood is taken out of the body through a tube and cleaned by an artificial kidney filter that is attached to a

dialysis machine then returned to the body. Children undergoing hemodialysis have to receive dialysis treatment at a hospital or

dialysis center. Treatments last about 3-4 hours, 3-4 times every week.

PD is performed by surgically placing a special, soft, hollow tube into the child's lower abdomen near the navel. After

the tube is placed, a special solution called dialysate is instilled into the peritoneal cavity. The peritoneal cavity is the space in

the abdomen that houses the organs and is lined by two special membrane layers called the peritoneum. The dialysate is left in

the abdomen for a designated period of time that is determined by the child's nephrologist. The dialysate fluid absorbs the

waste products and toxins through the peritoneum. The fluid is then drained from the abdomen, measured, and discarded. The

tube is repeatedly filled with the dialysate and drained several times a day to complete the cleaning process. A child will be hos-

pitalized for a few days when starting PD to make sure the tube and treatment are working properly. There are two different

types of peritoneal dialysis: Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD) and Continuous Cyclic Peritoneal Dialysis

(CCPD).

CPD is the most common dialysis treatment modality used to treat pediatric patients with ESRD, particularly, HD in

children less than five years of age.

CPD offers several advantages over HD that are beneficial for children. PD has fewer side effects than hemodialysis

because it is a more gentle type of treatment done every day as opposed to hemodialysis, which is a relatively quick treatment

done over short amount of time. Children on PD are less likely to experience headaches, dizziness, nausea, and fatigue, which

can occur during and after hemodialysis treatments. PD also tends to be better for young children and infants, who may not be

able to tolerate hemodialysis due to their small size. All children on dialysis have to follow a special kidney diet, but the diet is

less strict with PD compared to hemodialysis. PD allows fluid, electrolytes, and waste to be removed daily, so those on PD do

not have to restrict their fluid or protein intake as much.

PGH strongly adheres to

Executive Order No. 51 (The

Milk Code) as well as Republic

Act No. 7600 (The Rooming-In

and Breastfeeding Act of 1992).

Breastfeeding is pro-

moted and protected, and the

provision of human milk is made

a priority as the unequalled

source of immune protection and

nutrition for sick premature and

full-term newborns even if they

are separated from their mothers.

The new pasteurizer is a

big step towards improving the

efficiency of the operations of

the Human Milk Bank. It is ex-

pected to help sustain the needs

not only of the infants delivered

at the PGH OBAS-NICU com-

plex which amounts to around

7,000 live births each year, but

also to those delivered outborn,

as well as victims of national

emergencies, such as of

Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda) and

the Marawi crisis.

This photo was taken on April 30, 2018 during the turn over ceremony of Human Milk Pasteurizer donated by Rotary Club Daechon, Mr. Lee Kyoung Hwan, Rotary Club of Makati

Jose P. Rizal and Ms. Caroline Siy to the PGH Department of Pediatrics through the effort of PGH Medical Foundation, Inc.

Mother and Child share joy in

PD treatments can be done at home, which is a ma-

jor advantage over hemodialysis. It can also be done at

nighttime while a child is sleeping. This allows children on

PD to go to school regularly and do more normal activities

during the day. It can also accommodate parents who work

during the day. Children on PD can swim and play most

sports as long as the tube is taped properly and carefully

protected. Although it is not a cure, a kidney transplant is

the best form of renal replacement therapy and the closest

thing to having normal kidneys. However, when a kidney

transplant is not possible right away, PD is a good option

and offers several advantages over hemodialysis, including

better school attendance and normal social interaction for

the child, more flexibility of treatments, and fewer side ef-

fects. A child’s kidney doctor (nephrologist) can provide

more information about the different types of renal replace-

ment therapy and will recommend the best treatment for an

individual child with ESRD.

The Pediatric Peritoneal Dialysis Unit of the Philip-

pine General Hospital (PGH) was inaugurated last Decem-

ber 2018. It is the first dedicated Peritoneal Dialysis Unit

for pediatric patients in the country. This is a dream come

true that was made possible through the generous donation

of SBS Philippines Corporation which was coursed through

the PGH Medical Foundation, Inc. It is expected to serve

as many as 20 to 30 patients a day.

From Wish List to Reality

All set for home. All Maria needed was

an oxygen tank to aid her in breathing while her

weak lungs recovered. With more than two grueling months spent in the hospital,

the resources of Maria’s family were exhausted, making it very difficult for them

to procure home needs. It was the PGH Medical Foundation that enabled Maria to

pursue the roadmap to home. With the funding from this charitable institution, her

family was able to purchase needs for the care of a patient with respiratory failure

at home- an oxygen tank, suction machine and tubings, and an eggcrate mattress.

Though Maria is debilitated by a chronic illness, the future is not ultimately bleak-

recovery may be slow but, is indeed, a worthwhile pursuit, and this oxygen sup-

port at home equated to a renewed life with her family.

Maria is not a lone patient who was given a ray of hope by generous souls

who share in the cause of the PGH Medical Foundation. For the past fifteen years,

the PGHMFI has given thousands of patients another shot at life in so many ways.

For some patients, the PGHMFI already reached out a helping hand even as they

were just starting the battle against their disease. The Section of Hematology of

the Department of Medicine has so many patients in need of bone marrow and

molecular studies for the diagnosis of their illness. In this age of targeted therapy,

obtaining the definitive diagnosis of the disease is the first step in pursuing treat-

ment. Through the help of the PGHMFI, in partnership with other agencies, these

patients benefit from bone marrow and molecular studies, which are critical in

giving them a chance at cure.

Even for patients who seem very debilitated with their chronic diseases,

wheelchairs provided by funds from the Foundation have enabled them to move

away from the confines of their bed and experience the world again. Indeed, the

PGHMFI is a generous ally of patients in all stages of their disease- from diagno-

sis to treatment, to long-term care and rehabilitation.

On its 15th year anniversary, the PGHMFI, together with its growing pool

of donors and generous supporters of the cause, celebrate their unfading commit-

ment to the underserved, living by the institution’s mantra, “giving hope to those

who have none.” Growing stronger through time, not even the most aggressive

illnesses has stopped this remarkable foundation from enabling struggling patients

to live their humble dreams.

For the past three years

since its creation in 2015, the grow-

ing number of members of the PGH

MFI Century Club led by both

Dr. Gregorio T. Mariano, Jr.

( US - Based) and Dr. Gregorio T.

Alvior, Jr.(Local - based), contin-

ues. However, the pioneers of this

organization diligently exert more

efforts in encouraging other people

to join the club considering the

increasing demand of the number of

charity patients seeking medical

assistance through the purchase of

medicines and special laboratory

tests which are not available in the

hospital but can be readily access

outside the PGH.

The unwavering support

from the members and their friends

ensure that the purpose of the or-

ganization is carried – out relent-

lessly for the benefit of indigent

patients of PGH.

We enjoin the UP Manila and

PGH Communities to be part of

PGH MFI Century Club
