BACKGROUND: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a structural or functional kidney disease for more than 3 months. In predialysis CKD patients, the serum parathyroid hormone levels increase progressively since the early stages of the disease to maintain phosphate homeostasis. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) has been widely accepted to assess renal function. The GFR assessment is used to determine the CKD stadium. AIM: This study aims to analyze the correlation between GFR and parathyroid hormone levels in predialysis CKD patients undergoing treatment at Sanglah General Hospital Denpasar. METHODS: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted among predialysis CKD patients undergoing treatment at Sanglah General Hospital Denpasar who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The inclusion criteria were adult patients (≥18 years) who were accepting to participate in the study. Exclusion criteria were patients with predialysis CKD after thyroidectomy and/or parathyroidectomy and liver disease. The parathyroid hormone levels, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, and GFR were examined and analyzed by SPSS version 17 for Windows. RESULTS: A total of 77 patients with predialysis CKD in this study obtained a median of e-GFR of 21.09 (4.72–75.80) mL/min/1.73 m2. The median level of parathyroid hormone was 82.07 pg/mL (15.83–716.60 pg/mL). Spearman’s correlation analysis results obtained a strong and significant negative correlation between the e-GFR value and parathyroid hormone levels (r = −0.540; p = 0.000). CONCLUSION: The parathyroid hormone levels assessment could be used as a recommendation in evaluating the CKD progressivity among predialysis adult patients at Sanglah General Hospital, Bali, Indonesia, due to the strong significant correlation.

Abstract Background: Commercial intact parathyroid hormone (I-PTH) assays detect molecular form(s) of human PTH, non-(1-84) PTH, different from the 84-amino acid native molecule. These molecular form(s) accumulate in hemodialyzed patients. We investigated the importance of non-(1-84) PTH in the interpretation of the increased I-PTH in progressive renal failure. Methods: Five groups were studied: 26 healthy individuals, 12 hemodialyzed patients, and 31 patients with progressive renal failure subdivided according to their glomerular filtration rate (GFR) into 11 with a GFR between 60 and 100 mL · min−1 · 1.73 m−2, 12 with a GFR between 30 and 60 mL · min−1 · 1.73 m−2, and 8 with a GFR between 5 and 30 mL · min−1 · 1.73 m−2. We evaluated indicators of calcium and phosphorus metabolism and creatinine clearance (CrCl) in the progressive renal failure groups, and the HPLC profile of I-PTH and C-terminal PTH in all groups. Results: Only patients with a GFR <30 mL · min−1 · 1.73 m−2 and hemodialyzed patients had decreased Ca2+ and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, and increased phosphate. In patients with progressive renal failure, I-PTH was related to Ca2+ (r = −0.66; P <0.0001), CrCl (r = −0.61; P <0.001), 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (r = −0.40; P <0.05), and 25-hydroxyvitamin D (r = −0.49; P <0.01) by simple linear regression. The importance of non-(1-84) PTH in the composition of I-PTH increased with each GFR decrease, being 21% in healthy individuals, 32% in progressive renal failure patients with a GFR <30 mL · min−1 · 1.73 m−2, and 50% in hemodialyzed patients, with PTH(1-84) making up the difference. Conclusions: As I-PTH increases progressively with GFR decrease, part of the increase is associated with the accumulation of non-(1-84) PTH, particularly when the GFR is <30 mL · min−1 · 1.73 m−2. Concentrations of I-PTH 1.6-fold higher than in healthy individuals are necessary in hemodialyzed patients to achieve PTH(1-84) concentrations similar to those in the absence of renal failure.

Background Several studies have reported dialysis-related headache in adults. We investigated headache and its characteristics in pediatric and adolescent patients with chronic kidney disease and patients treated with dialysis, and compared characteristics of patients with and without headache in the entire cohort and separately among dialysis and among chronic kidney disease patients. Methods Patients and their parents who attended a nephrology clinic and hemodialysis unit were interviewed regarding the existence of headache and its characteristics. We reviewed hospital files for medical history, blood test results, and pharmacologic treatment. Headache was defined according to International Headache Society criteria. Results The cohort comprised 60 patients: 39 with chronic kidney disease without hemodialysis and 21 treated with hemodialysis; 39 were males, mean age 11.9 ± 5.3 years. Twenty-six (43.3%) reported experiencing headaches. The hemodialysis group had a higher rate of headache than the chronic kidney disease patients, at 76.2% vs. 25.5%, p < 0.001. In the hemodialysis group, 15 out of 16 reported dialysis-related headache; 14 (87.5%) of these had migraine characteristics. For the entire cohort, headache was associated with hemodialysis, chronic kidney disease grade, lower glomerular filtration rate anemia and a higher parathyroid hormone level. In logistic regression analysis, glomerular filtration rate was significantly associated with headache, odds ratio 2.74 (95% CI 1.56–4.82, p < 0.001). Conclusions A high rate of headache, mostly migraine type, was reported by hemodialysis patients. Hemodialysis, anemia, higher parathyroid hormone levels, phosphate, and lower glomerular filtration rate are strongly associated with headache among chronic kidney disease pediatric and adolescent patients.

Serum soluble Fas (sFas) levels are associated with erythropoietin (Epo) hyporesponsiveness in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Whether sFas could predict the need for erythropoiesis-stimulating agent (ESA) usage and its influence in erythropoiesis remain unclear. We evaluated the relation between sFas and ESA therapy in patients with CKD with anemia and its effect on erythropoiesis in vitro. First, we performed a retrospective cohort study with 77 anemic patients with nondialysis CKD. We performed in vitro experiments to investigate whether sFas could interfere with the behavior of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). HSCs were isolated from umbilical cord blood and incubated with recombinant sFas protein in a dose-dependent manner. Serum sFas positively correlated with Epo levels ( r = 0.30, P = 0.001) but negatively with hemoglobin ( r = −0.55, P < 0.001) and glomerular filtration rate ( r = −0.58, P < 0.001) in patients with CKD at baseline. Elevated sFas serum levels (4,316 ± 897 vs. 2,776 ± 749, P < 0.001) with lower estimated glomerular filtration rate (26.2 ± 10.1 vs. 33.5 ± 14.3, P = 0.01) and reduced hemoglobin concentration (11.1 ± 0.9 vs. 12.5 ± 1.2, P < 0.001) were identified in patients who required ESA therapy compared with patients with non-ESA. Afterward, we detected that the sFas level was slight correlated with a necessity of ESA therapy in patients with nondialysis CKD and anemia. In vitro assays demonstrated that the erythroid progenitor cell frequency negatively correlated with sFas concentration ( r = −0.72, P < 0.001). There was decreased erythroid colony formation in vitro when CD34+ HSCs were incubated with a higher concentration of sFas protein (1.56 ± 0.29, 4.33 ± 0.53, P < 0.001). Our findings suggest that sFas is a potential predictor for ESA therapy in patients with nondialysis CKD and that elevated sFas could affect erythropoiesis in vitro.
