Background: Pruritus is a common manifestation in patients on hemodialysis. The aim of this study is to determine the distribution of pruritus and evaluate the association between pruritus and serum parathormone levels in chronic kidney disease patients on maintenance haemodialysis. Methods:This analytic, descriptive, cross-sectional study was performed over 191 patients of maintenance haemodialysis in 2014. Information related to the patients including age, gender, residence, pruritus was extracted from questionnaires. Serum levels of intact parathormone were measured & data were analyzed. Results: 68% of the patients had pruritus. The Mean ± SD of serum parathormone was 53.25±7.96 pg/ml in patients with pruritus and 81.91±9.34 pg/ml in patients without pruritus. Our study showed that most patients with pruritus had normal serum parathormone levels and no significant association was found between pruritus and serum parathormone levels. Conclusion: serum parathormone level may not play a role in uraemic pruritus in these patients. J Dhaka Medical College, Vol. 28, No.1, April, 2019, Page 54-59

Abstract Background With the aging of the population, chronic kidney disease (CKD) and sarcopenia are the common diseases among the elderly. Non-dialysis patients with CKD account for a relatively high proportion, and the analysis of their general clinical characteristics has been more familiar. However, the study of sarcopenia in non-dialysis with CKD is not enough. Methods This is a cross sectional study. Non-dialysis patients with CKD stage 3–5 were continuously selected. Patients were divided into 3 groups based on the Fried scale, Non-frail group, Pre-frail group and Frail group. At the same time, muscle mass of the hospitalized patients was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), and according to the test results, they were divided into sarcopenia and non-sarcopenia group. Baseline data and the measurement of the sarcopenia of the two groups were analyzed. Results A total of 102 elderly patients with chronic kidney disease stage 3–5 were continuously enrolled. There were 21 patients (20.6%) categorized as sarcopenia, 81 patients (79.4%) categorized as non-sarcopenia according to the measurement results of DXA. Frailty was assessed by the criteria of frailty phenotype, there were 13 patients of sarcopenia in the frail group, 6 patients of sarcopenia in the pre-frail group, and 2 patients of sarcopenia in the non-frail group, accounting for 31.7%, 20.0%, 6.5%, respectively. Moreover, the analysis of the related risk factors of sarcopenia showed that body mass index (BMI)༜23 kg/m2(OR = 3.82, 95%CI 1.33–10.97, P = 0.013), MNA-SF ≤ 11(OR = 3.97, 95%CI 1.08–14.58, P = 0.038) were the independent risk factors for sarcopenia in non-dialysis patients with chronic kidney disease stage 3–5. Conclusions The prevalence of sarcopenia in elderly non-dialysis patients with chronic kidney disease stage 3–5 was high, and sarcopenia was common in the frail patients. BMI༜23 kg/m2 and MNA-SF ≤ 11were the independent risk factors for sarcopenia in non-dialysis patients with chronic kidney disease stage 3–5.

Reticulocyte hemoglobin equivalent (RET-He) represents hemoglobin content in reticulocyte. Reticulocyte hemoglobin equivalent test can be used to asses iron status of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Iron deficiency happens in 40% CKD and could lead to anemia manifestation. Level of RET-He gives real-time assesment of iron availability for hemoglobin production and the level will getting lower when iron storage for erythropoiesis decreasing. Reticulocyte hemoglobin equivalent is more stabil than feritin and transferin saturation in assessing iron status. Aim of this study is to determine RET-He level in patients with CKD stage IV and V. This study is  a cross sectional descripstive study. Subjects were 96 CKD stage IV and V patients that met inclusion and exclusion criterias. Subjects conducted blood tests at Central Laboratory Installation Dr. M. Djamil Hospital Padang from July to September 2020. Examination of RET-He level was analyzed by Sysmex XN-1000 flowcytometry fluorescense method. Data was presented in frequency distribution table. The RET-He level below cutoff (<29,2 pg) indicates the need for iron suplementation therapy for CKD stage IV and V patients. Samples with RET-He level below cutoff were 48 (50%) and 48 (50%) were above cutoff.

Background: Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) is defined by the presence of three or more of the following components: inadequate fasting serum glucose levels and elevated waist circumference, hypertension and dyslipidemia, which represent a potential risk for the development and/or worsening of Chronic Kidney Disease. Objective: This research aimed to investigate the presence of MetS and its influence on associated factors in patients with Chronic Kidney Disease undergoing hemodialysis. Methods: This is an evaluation of a cross-sectional multicenter research project, carried out with 95 patients with Chronic Kidney Disease, seen at outpatient clinics in the state capital Piaui. Anthropometric, biochemical and hemodynamic parameters were determined. The data were analyzed using the Stata® v.12 software (Statacorp, College Station, Texas, USA), adopting a significance level of p < 0,05. The survey received ethical approval (nº 2.527.329). Results: It was observed that individuals with elevated BMI, WC, NC, SBP, DBP were more likely to develop MetS, with significant differences (p <0.001). In addition, it was found that serum levels of glucose, insulin, HOMA-IR, TC, LDL, TG and blood pressure were higher in the group with MetS. Conclusion: It was concluded that changes in the parameters analyzed in patients with CKD reinforce MetS as a predictive condition for worsening nutritional status and a factor for the progression of kidney disease.

Although the relationship between protein-bound uremic toxins (PBUTs) and cardiac structure and cardiac mortality in chronic kidney disease (CKD) has been studied in the past, the association between cardiac dysfunction and PBUTs has not yet been studied. We therefore evaluated the association between impaired peak cardiac performance and the serum free and total concentrations of potentially cardiotoxic PBUTs. In a cross-sectional study of 56 male CKD patients (stages 2–5 (pre-dialysis)) who were asymptomatic with no known cardiac diseases or diabetes we measured peak cardiac power (CPOmax), aerobic exercise capacity (VO2max), and echocardiographic parameters of cardiac morphology and evaluated their association with PBUTs. The serum total and free concentrations of indoxyl sulfate (IXS), p-cresyl sulfate (PCS), p-cresyl glucuronide, indole acetic acid, and hippuric acid showed significant negative correlation with CPOmax and VO2max. IXS and PCS were independently associated with CPOmax and VO2max even after controlling for eGFR. No correlation between left ventricular mass index (LVMI) and PBUTs was seen. The present study for the first time has demonstrated the association between subclinical cardiac dysfunction in CKD and serum levels of a panel of PBUTs. Further studies are required to evaluate the mechanism of cardiotoxicity of the individual uremic toxins.
