Background/Aims: Purple urine bag syndrome (PUBS) is an uncommon clinical entity characterized by purple urine discoloration in the setting of urinary tract infections. Pa-thophysiology of PUBS has been correlated to aberrant metabolism of tryptophan. Multiple predisposing factors have been recognized, namely: female gender, advanced age, constipation, institutionalization, long-term catheter-ization, dementia and chronic kidney disease. Herein, we present a comprehensive review of all PUBS cases reported in PubMed, focusing on the predisposing factors and the microorganisms related to PUBS. Methods: We performed a search in PubMed database for articles referring to PUBS, published in English, French, Spanish and German from January 1978 until November 2017. The literature recruitment strategy was based on several keywords and Medical Subject Heading combination such as “purple urine bag syndrome” or PUBS or “urine discoloration”. The finally selected articles were categorized into case reports/series (88 articles including 112 patients) and studies (10 articles including 134 patients). Demographical data as well as predisposing factors were recorded and further analyzed. Results: According to our findings, mean age of PUBS patients was 78.9 ± 12.3 years, 70.7% were female while 90.1% were suffering from constipation, 76.1% were in a bedridden situation, 45.1% were experiencing long-term catheterization, 42.8% had been diagnosed with dementia, 14.3% had recurrent urinary tract infections and 14.1% were chronic kidney disease patients. 91.3% of patients presenting with PUBS alkaline urine were observed while the most common microbe in urine cultures was E. coli. Conclusions: PUBS is considered benign process in the majority of catheterized patients. Clinicians should be aware of the syndrome that may indicate serious comorbidities.

Risk factors for chronic kidney disease include diabetes mellitus, hypertension, autoimmune diseases, urinary tract infections, urolithiasis, urinary tract obstruction, toxic effects of drugs, cardiovascular diseases, etc. In order to study the effect of several risk factors on the development of chronic kidney disease and the role of each factor in comparison with the proportion of their effect on the final result, a dispersion analysis was carried out. It was revealed that the development of chronic kidney disease in men is influenced by diabetes mellitus (H/h=+0.69), diabetic nephropathy (H/h=+0.71), obesity (H/h=+0.36), arterial hypertension (H/h=+0.70), coronary heart disease (H/h=+0.62), renal stone disease (H/h =+0.37), urolithiasis (H/h=+0.41), chronic pyelonephritis (H/h=+0.39), chronic glomerulonephritis (H/h=+0.81), polycystic kidney disease (H/h=+0.68), autoimmune diseases (H/h=+0.67). In women, diabetes mellitus (H/h=+0.70), diabetic nephropathy (H/h=+0.73), obesity (H/h=+0.45), arterial hypertension (H/h=+0.71), ischemic heart disease (H/h=+0.52), urinary tract infections (H/h=+0.63), renal stone disease (H/h=+0.35), urolithiasis (H/h=+0.36), chronic pyelonephritis (H/h=+0.47), chronic glomerulonephritis (H/h=+0.79), polycystic kidney disease (H/h=+0.59), iron deficiency anemia (H/h=+0.37), autoimmune diseases (H/h=+0.66). Variance analysis revealed direct strong and average correlation relationships of risk factors according to the validity of their negative influence in men, with the exception of urinary tract infection and iron deficiency anemia, where weak correlation relationships were revealed. In women, direct strong and average correlations of all risk factors in the validity of their negative effects were identified. Increasing the wariness of doctors at the primary level in identifying risk factors and its timely correction will reduce the incidence of chronic kidney disease.

AbstractOccurrence of urosepsis is not uncommon following urinary tract infections (UTI). However, there is a lack of evidence explaining the risk factors predisposing to urosepsis in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). This retrospective study was undertaken to evaluate the incidence and possible risk factors for urosepsis among patients hospitalized with UTI in a cohort of CKD patients. Patients were divided into the urosepsis group and the non-urosepsis group. Of 489 hospitalized patients with UTI, 70 (14.3%) acquired urosepsis. Stepwise multivariate logistic regression demonstrated that diabetes, urinary catheter and length of hospital stay (p < 0.001 for all) were significant independent predictive risk factors for urosepsis in CKD patients with UTI in addition to age, glomerular filtration rate, hydronephrosis, acute kidney injury and E. coli infection (p < 0.05 for all). Finally, Klebsiella spp. cases were associated with significantly higher odds for urosepsis than E. coli cases (OR: 3.5, 95% CI: 2.86–7.23, p < 0.001 vs. OR: 1.38, 95% CI: 1.19–3.69, p = 0.038). Diabetes, presence of an indwelling urinary catheter, length of hospitalization, and infection with Klebsiella spp were independent risk factors for urosepsis in CKD patients with UTI.
