Hypertension has been recognized as an important cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD). As the most important part of the hypertensive patients are managed in primary care, implementation of routine early detection of CKD by determination of albuminuria and the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) at this level is essential for diagnosis and prevention. The present study demonstrated that prevalence of chronic kidney disease in hypertensive patients was 13.32%, being higher in female than men, with old age and in the presence of diabetes mellitus and associated cardiovascular diseases. The reduction of the eGFR depended significant statistically on age, gender and presence of diabetes mellitus, while albuminuria depended on the presence of diabetes and old age. Early detection of CKD in hypertensive patients permits optimal treatment of cardiovascular risk factors, especially concerning the reduction of high blood pressure, therapy with renin-angiotensin system blockers in order to reduce albuminuria and the progression of eGFR decline and treatment of hyperlipidaemia.

Objective. Patients with stage 5 chronic kidney disease.Study objective. Determination of factors affecting cognitive function in patients with CKD-5.Design and methods. The study included young and middle-aged patients (18 to 60 years old) (n = 40), there is a terminal stage of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Exclusion criteria: history of diseases of the central nervous system, brain injury, episodes of cerebrovascular accident with severity, coronary artery disease, chronic heart failure, pregnancy, abuse of alcohol, refusal to participate in the study. In a previous work, patient examination data were obtained on the Status PF hardware complex. Neurodynamic indicators were estimated, including the determination of the time of a simple visual-motor reaction (MTCM) and a complex visual-motor reaction (MPSM), reaction to a moving object (RDO), memory and attention. Using Spearman’s correlation analysis, we evaluated the impact on cognitive functions of a number of factors, presumably related to neurodynamics. The following factors were selected: age, creatinine level, NSE and S100 proteins, hemoglobin level, Beck’s depression points, indicators of personal and situational anxiety.Results. All patients examined on the Status PF software package had mild cognitive impairment in terms of neurodynamics, attention, and memory. The average positive relationship between the level of depression and various indicators of RDO was established: with RDO_average (ρ = 0.405; p = 0.018), with RDO_total delay (ρ = 0.540; p < 0.001), with RDO_average delay (ρ = 0.421; p = 0.007), as well as weak positive – with CEMR average exposure (ρ = 0.358; p = 0.023). An average positive relationship of creatinine level with RDO_O (ρ = 0.438; p = 0.005) is noted. A weak positive relationship between the level of personal anxiety and RDO_total delay (ρ = 0.334; p = 0.035) was revealed. The average negative relationship between hemoglobin level and RDO_total delay (ρ = –0.535; p < 0.001) was revealed. A weak positive relationship between situational anxiety and SEMR is determined by the number of errors (ρ = 0.364; p = 0.021), as well as a weak negative one with the attention volume (ρ = –0.357; p = 0.024). A weak negative relationship of age with visual memory per word was revealed (ρ = –0.362; p = 0.022).Domain of usage. Outpatient and hospital treatment stages of patients with chronic kidney disease case management

Measurement of urinary protein is an essential part of the evaluation of chronic kidney disease; it has both diagnostic and prognostic significance. Proteinuria is an independent risk factor for progression of renal disease, but is also independently associated with increased cardiovascular mortality. Despite its far-reaching implications, the definition, diagnosis and treatment of proteinuria can cause confusion in primary care. Early detection of proteinuria in the context of diabetes or otherwise is vital given the potential for intervention to reduce urinary protein losses and improve renal and cardiovascular outcomes. This article will focus on the definition, potential causes and management of proteinuria, including which individuals should be referred to secondary care.

Iohexol (1-N,3-N-bis(2,3-dihydroxypropyl)-5-[N-(2,3-dihydroxypropyl) acetamide-2,4,6-triiodobenzene-1,3-dicarboxamide) is used for accurate determination of the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients.
