Abstract Background and Aims Patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) are known to have higher plasma concentrations of metabolic waste products than healthy individuals. Patients with Primary Hyperoxaluria (PH), a rare congenital cause of ESKD, suffer from hepatic overproduction of the metabolic end product oxalate. Plasma oxalate (POx) levels are determined in the diagnostic and therapeutic work-up for PH. Remarkably, correct interpretation of these values is hampered by the absence of knowledge concerning POx levels in patients with ESKD due to common causes. Method In this observational study, we obtained POx values in patients with ESKD due to another cause than PH, to establish reference values in this patient group. We collected blood samples from 120 adults with eGFR < 15 mL/min/1.73 m2 who required maintenance hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis at the Amsterdam UMC. Results While there was a wide variation in POx levels in patients with ESKD, the median was 50 umol/L and lowest values were twice the upper reference limit that applies to healthy individuals (6.7 umol/L). Conclusion This study shows that POx levels of 50 umol/L are not necessarily suggestive for PH which contradicts the current literature. This study could lead to a paradigm shift in the diagnostic and therapeutic work-up for patients with ESKD.

The Impact

ABSTRACT Background: Malnutrition is a common problem in patients with end-stage-kidney-disease (ESKD) and is a strong risk factor for morbidity and mortality. ESKDis a maladaptive metabolic state and patients need to increase their dietary protein and calorie intake especially when on maintenance dialysis. In a developing country like India, the economic and knowledge barrier affects the diet of the patient. In this study we assessed the prevalence of malnutrition and the impact of dietary counselling on improvement in nutritional status of the patient. Method: This study enrolled patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis in our centre between June 2017 and June 2019. The prevalence of malnutrition was assessed by Subjective Global Assessment (SGA). Dietary history was recorded with a 24-hour dietary recall method. The patient was then periodically counselled regarding adequate dietary protein and calorie requirement and was re-assessed for the prevalence of malnutrition at the end of 6 months. Results: The mean age of study cohort was 38.76±10.85 years and 64 % were male.Hypertension (38.89%) and Diabetes (11.11%) were the most common co-morbid illnesses.The prevalence of PEW was 92% at baseline and 86% at the end of 6 months of follow up. There was a significant increase in BMI from 19.97 to 20.38 (p=0.022). Most of the study patients were from very low socioeconomic status (78% Class V modified Prasad's scale). Conclusions: There is a very high prevalence of protein-energy malnutrition among ESKD patients on maintenance haemodialysis. Nutritional counselling resulted in statistically significant improvement in the prevalence of malnutrition. Hence,nutritional counselling must be given regularly to patients with kidney disease.

Introduction: The prevalence of cutaneous manifestations in hemodialysis patients is increasing. Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and pattern of various cutaneous manifestations in patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis. Material and Methods: A hospital based cross sectional study was conducted in patient undergoing maintenance hemodialysis at least for three months in dialysis unit of Manipal Teaching Hospital Pokhara, Nepal during the period from August 2018 to January 2019. A demographic questionnaire and a checklist about cutaneous disorders were used for data collection. Patients with cholestatic liver disease or acute hepatitis, active infection, active malignancy, patient with acute kidney injury, patient undergoing peritoneal dialysis and renal transplant recipient were excluded from study. Results: Total 80 patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis were included. Among them, 52 (65%) patients were male. The mean age of study population was 51.95±14.96 years. The mean duration of dialysis was 40.28±11.09 months. The most common cause of end stage kidney disease was diabetic nephropathy. The most common cutaneous manifestations were pigmentation (82.5%), nail changes (75%), xerosis (70%) and pruritis (50%). Conclusions: The results of this study revealed that patients on hemodialysis were associated with multiple cutaneous symptoms, the most prevalent of which were pigmentation and nail disorders. Therefore, early diagnosis of these problems is a major step in improving the quality of life in these patients.

Background Pulmonary hypertension is a disorder which worsens systemic diseases. One of the important underlying pathology is end stage chronic kidney disease The aim of this study was to assess the incidence of unexplained PHT, and to relate this to the cardiovascular status and arteriovenous fistula characteristics in ESKD patients on maintenance hemodialysis Methods: 159 patients with end stage kidney disease on maintenance hemodialysis were evaluated, 103 were excluded. Clinical, laboratory parameters were recorded. Systolic Pulmonary artery pressure and cardiac functions were evaluated by echocardiography. Flow across arteriovenous fistula was assessed by Doppler sonography. Patients were divided between the group with and without pulmonary hypertension. It was a cross sectional study. Result: Out of 159 patients, 56 patients who fulfilled inclusion criteria were evaluated, 36% had systolic pulmonary artery pressure of 35 mm Hg, mean age was 52.42 ± 9.12 years, 71.4% were males, and mean duration of end stage kidney disease was 33.66 ±11.56 months. Pulmonary hypertension patients were exposed to longer duration of hemodialysis therapy (p=0.0001) as compared to the patients with no pulmonary hypertension group, they also had a longer duration of functional Arterio venous fistula (p=0.0001), and flow across Arterio venous fistula was significantly more in pulmonary hypertension group (p=0.022), and these also had higher cardiac output (p=0.0001).  Patients with Pulmonary hypertension were significantly more anemic, had more hypoalbuminemia and more interdialytic weight gain. Conclusions:  Pulmonary hypertension is frequent in end-stage kidney disease patients on maintenance hemodialysis. It appears to be a late complication of hemodialysis with surgically created AVF with implications on cardiovascular status.

Objective: To determine frequency of hepatitis-C in dialysis patients at start of hemodialysis, seroconversion from HCV negative to HCV positive over study duration and factors affecting seroconversion. Methods: This descriptive prospective observational study done in dialysis center of DHQ hospital Sheikhupura, Punjab, Pakistan. The study was conducted from October 2016 to October 2017. Data was collected on Performa and later followed prospectively in same cohort of patients. All the patients on maintenance hemodialysis for more than one month were included in the study. Patients with acute kidney disease and on dialysis less than one month were excluded. Patients were analyzed by dividing them in three groups, group-I patients who were HCV positive at start of dialysis, Group-II who were negative and seroconvert to HCV positive, Group-III who were negative and remained negative. All seronegative patients were followed at one, three, six and twelfth months on being hemodialysis for seroconversion. Results: Out of 230 surveyed patients 52 were HCV positive at start of dialysis and 19 were loss of follow up. Out of remaining 159 HCV negative patients 95 became HCV positive, only 64 patients remained HCV negative by end of study. Conclusion: Frequency of HCV seroconversion among chronic hemodialysis patient is found to be 53.37%. Arteriovenous access, number of dialysis, reuse of dialyzer and blood transfusions are important risk factors. How to cite this:Hussain Y, Shahzad A, Azam S, Munawar N.
