Objectives Dental problems occur widely in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and may increase comorbidities. Root canal therapy (RCT) is a common procedure for advanced decayed caries with pulp inflammation and root canals. However, end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients are considered to have a higher risk of potentially life-threatening infections after treatment and might fail to receive satisfactory dental care such as RCT. We investigated whether appropriate intervention for dental problems had a potential impact among dialysis patients. Design Men and women who began maintenance dialysis (hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis) between January 1, 2000, and December 31, 2015, in Taiwan (total 12,454 patients) were enrolled in this study. Participants were followed up from the first reported dialysis date to the date of death or end of dialysis by December 31, 2015. Setting Data collection was conducted in Taiwan. Results A total of 2633 and 9821 patients were classified into the RCT and non-RCT groups, respectively. From the data of Taiwan’s National Health Insurance, a total of 5,092,734 teeth received RCT from 2000 to 2015. Then, a total of 12,454 patients were followed within the 16 years, and 4030 patients passed away. The results showed that members of the non-RCT group (34.93%) had a higher mortality rate than those of the RCT group (22.79%; p = 0.001). The multivariate-adjusted hazard ratio for the risk of death was 0.69 (RCT vs. non-RCT; p = 0.001). Conclusions This study suggested that patients who had received RCT had a relatively lower risk of death among dialysis patients. Infectious diseases had a significant role in mortality among dialysis patients with non-RCT. Appropriate interventions for dental problems may increase survival among dialysis patients. Abbreviations: CKD = chronic kidney disease, ESRD = end-stage renal disease, RCT = root canal therapy.

Background: Dyslipidemia contributes to the high cardiovascular risk in end stage renal disease (ESRD) or in dialysis patients; however, it remains an underestimated problem. Objective: To see the extent of dyslipidemia in patients of end stage renal disease i.e. chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 5 who underwent hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis procedure. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted from September 2016 to March 2018 Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) on 55 CKD (stage 5) patients where 31 in hemodialysis (HD) (group A) and 24 in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) (group B). Serum lipid profile was estimated in both groups by using the standard laboratory technique. Results: Dialysis adequacy (Kt/V) was found 1.46 for HD patients (group A) and 1.81 for CAPD patients (group B).All serum lipids were higher in amount in CAPD patients than HD patients-total cholesterol (222.3±24.2 mg/dl vs. 198.9±28.4 mg/dl; p<0.05), triglycerides (179.6±24.7 mg/dl vs. 176.6±24.4 mg/dl; p<0.05), HDL cholesterol (40.8±3.90 mg/dl vs. 38.5±4.95 mg/dl; p>0.05) and LDL cholesterol (145.5±22.1 mg/dl vs. 123.2±26.5 mg/dl; p<0.05). Besides, dyslipidemia was more evident in CAPD patients than HD patients, as per raised serum total cholesterol (83.33% vs. 70.97%), raised triglycerides (95.83% vs. 83.87%), raised LDL (100% vs. 77.42%) and lowering of HDL cholesterol (87.5% vs. 80.65%) were found more in group B in comparison to group A. Conclusion: Dyslipidemic risk factors are highly evident in dialysis patients and the extent of dyslipidemia is observed more in CAPD than HD patients.

Human papillomavirus (HPV) causes the majority of cervical, anal/rectal, and oropharyngeal cancers in women. End-stage renal disease (ESRD) is also associated with an increased risk of malignancy, but the incidence of and risk factors for HPV-associated cancers in US dialysis patients are not defined. We queried the US Renal Data System for women with HPV-associated cancers and assessed for incidence of cancer diagnosis and association of risk factors. From 2005 to 2011, a total of 1032 female patients with ESRD had 1040 HPV-associated cancer diagnoses. Patients had a mean age of 65 years, were mostly white (63%), and on hemodialysis (92%). Cervical cancer (54%) was the most common, followed by anal/rectal (34%), and oropharyngeal (12%). The incidence of HPV-associated cancers in patients with ESRD increased yearly, with up to a 16-fold increased incidence compared with the general population. Major risk factors associated with the development of any HPV-associated cancer included smoking (adjusted relative risk=1.89), alcohol use (1.87), HIV (2.21), and herpes infection (2.02). Smoking, HIV, and herpes infection were prominent risk factors for cervical cancer. The incidence of HPV-associated cancers in women with ESRD is rising annually and is overall higher than in women of the general population. Tobacco use is a universal risk factor. For cervical cancer, the presence of HIV and herpes are important comorbidities. Recognizing risk factors associated with these cancers may improve diagnosis and facilitate survival. The role of HPV vaccination in at-risk dialysis patients remains to be defined but warrants further study.
