Abstract Background and Aims The lethality and cost of chronic kidney disease (CKD) management are high in Senegal. The aim of this study was to evaluate the access in dialysis at Senegalese public’s hospitals. Method This was a retrospective cohort during 4 years (2014-2018) from the hemodialysis registry waiting list at Aristide Le Dantec University Hospital. This registry is composed by: a registration form (social survey and doctor's visa); a written letter addressed to hospital director and the national identity card. From this registry, telephone calls were made to collect data relating to mortality and access to dialysis. Results seven hundred fifty-one (751) files were collected. The mean age of the patients was 48.12 ± 15.28 years with a sex ratio of 1.02. The socioeconomic level was low in 85.40% (521/610) and average in 13.61% (83/610). The geographic origin was rural in 11.15%, semi-urban in 07.54% and urban in 81.31%. Ten patients (1.64%) had medical care coverage. On call, 49.70% (373/751) were died before accessing to public dialysis, 29.70% (223/751) had accessed public dialysis and 04.00% (30/751) didn’t yet need dialysis. Hundred twenty-one (16.10%) were unreachable and 0.50% (4/751) was unknown. Conclusion The lethality of CKD was high. Access to dialysis in public hospital remains problematic in Senegal despite its democratization. Additional efforts are needed for effective management of all patients at dialysis stage.

Abstract Background and Aims Vascular calcification (VC) plays a major role in cardiovascular disease (CVD), which is one of the main causes of mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The study aims at early detection of breast arterial calcification (BAC) in different stages of CKD (stage 2, 3& 4) patients as an indicator of systemic VC. Method A case control study was conducted targeting CKD women, aged 18- 60 years old. The sample was divided into 3 groups; A,B,C (representing stage 2, 3 & 4 of CKD) from women who attended nephrology and Internal medicine clinics and admitted in inpatient ward in Suez Canal University Hospital. A 4th group (D) was formed as a control group and included women with normal kidney functions (each group (A, B, C, D) include 22 women). The selected participants were subjected to history taking, mammogram to detect BAC and biochemical assessment of lipid profile, Serum creatinine (Cr), Mg, P, Ca, PTH and FGF23. Results Our study detected presence of BAC in about 81.8% of hypertensive stage 4 CKD patients compared with 50% in stage 3 CKD, also in the majority of stage 4 CKD patients who had abnormal lipid profile parameters and electrolyte disturbance. Most of the variables had statistical significance regarding the presence of BAC. Conclusion Although it is difficult to determine the definite stage at which the risk of VC begins but in our study, it began late in stage 2 CKD, gradually increased prevalence through stage 3 and became significantly higher in stage 4. These results suggest that preventive strategies may need to begin as early as stage 2 CKD.

Abstract Since the transition from pediatric and adolescent to adult care often proceeds unaccompanied and unplanned, young patients with chronic kidney disease may experience health risks and non-adherence after the transfer. The psychosocial team at the Department of Pediatric Nephrology at the University Hospital of Cologne has therefore developed its local transition program “TraiN” for patients with chronic kidney disease aged 13 years and older. It combines structure and flexibility through predefined content modules that can be individually adapted to the patients, offering continuity and sustainability through a transition contact person. In addition, the family members are offered regular psychological consultations. The timing of the transfer is chosen individually depending on the level of psychosocial and medical transition readiness. The aim of “TraiN” is to strengthen the patients’ transition competence and the responsibility for their disease management and to provide them and their families the best possible support during the transition in order to prevent possible health risks. In the near future, a scientific evaluation will be conducted aiming to determine whether “TraiN” can support young people in their independence and self-reliant disease management.

Abstract Background and Aims The Chronic kidney disease (CKD), like many chronic illnesses, is invariably associated with various psychiatric conditions and poorer quality of life. This study aims to assess the prevalence of depression and anxiety among CKD patient and their determinant factors. Method this is a cross sectional single center study in a Moroccan university hospital. Patients aged ≥ 18 years old and followed for more than one year were included. The data was collected using a questionnaire for sociodemographic and clinical information and the Hospital anxiety and depression scale (HADS) to assess depression and anxiety prevalence. After the description of the population’s characteristics, the statistical analysis aimed to assess the association between depression and anxiety disorders and the estimated glomerular filtration rate before and after adjustment on several confounding factors. Results 88 patients were included (63.6% of them were women, the mean age was 61.8±14.0 years), 21 were on stage 3, 46 were on stage 4, and 21 were on stage 5 of the CKD. The median of depression sub-score was 5.00[2.00; 10.0], the median of anxiety sub-score was 6.00[4.00; 9.00], and the median of the global score was 11.0[7.00; 20.0], 22.0% of included patients had depression and 22.0% had anxiety. Both depression and anxiety scores were associated to eGFR before and after adjustment (p= 0.001, p<0.001and p=0.04, p=0.03 respectively). Conclusion This study showed that depression and anxiety are strongly related to the CKD progression, which should motivate both doctors and nurses to improve their psychological care toward CKD patients.

<b><i>Background and Aims:</i></b> Abdominal aortic calcification (AAC) is common in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients and associated with increased mortality. Comparative data on the AAC score progression in CKD patients transitioning from conservative treatment to different modalities of renal replacement therapy (RRT) are lacking and were examined. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> 150 study patients underwent lateral lumbar radiograph to study AAC in the beginning of the study before commencing RRT (AAC1) and at 3 years of follow-up (AAC2). We examined the associations between repeated laboratory tests taken every 3 months, echocardiographic and clinical variables and AAC increment per year (ΔAAC), and the association between ΔAAC and outcomes during follow-up. <b><i>Results:</i></b> At the time of AAC2 measurement, 39 patients were on hemodialysis, 39 on peritoneal dialysis, 39 had a transplant, and 33 were on conservative treatment. Median AAC1 was 4.8 (0.5–9.0) and median AAC2 8.0 (1.5–12.0) (<i>p</i> &#x3c; 0.0001). ΔAAC was similar across the treatment groups (<i>p</i> = 0.19). ΔAAC was independently associated with mean left ventricular mass index (LVMI) (log LVMI: β = 0.97, <i>p</i> = 0.02) and mean phosphorus through follow-up (log phosphorus: β = 1.19, <i>p</i> = 0.02) in the multivariable model. Time to transplantation was associated with ΔAAC in transplant recipients (per month on the waiting list: β = 0.04, <i>p</i> = 0.001). ΔAAC was associated with mortality (HR 1.427, 95% confidence interval 1.044–1.950, <i>p</i> = 0.03). <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> AAC progresses rapidly in patients with CKD, and ΔAAC is similar across the CKD treatment groups including transplant recipients. The increment rate is associated with mortality and in transplant recipients with the time on the transplant waiting list.

Abstract Background and Aims The gene program is controlled at the post-transcriptional level by the action of small non-coding RNAs known as microRNAs (miRNAs), short, single-stranded molecules that control mRNA stability or translational repression via base pairing with regions in the 3' untranslated region of their target mRNAs. Recently, considerable progress has been made to elucidate the roles of miRNAs in vascular pathogenesis and develop the use of miRNAs as biomarkers, and innovative drugs. We demonstrated during the last decade that miRNAs miR-126 and miR-223 are implicated in the course of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and cardiovascular damage. miR-223 expression is enhanced in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) subjected to an uremic toxin and also in aortas of a murine model of CKD. As restenosis is a common complication of angioplasty, in which neointimal hyperplasia results from migration of VSMCs into the vessel lumen we measured the effect of miR-223 modulation on restenosis in a rat model of carotid artery after balloon injury. We over-expressed and inhibited miR-223 expression using adenoviral vectors, coding a pre-miR-223 sequence or a sponge sequence, used to trap endogenous microRNA, respectively. We demonstrated that inhibiting miR-223 function significantly reduced neointimal hyperplasia by almost half in carotids. Thus down-regulating miR-223 could be a potential therapeutic approach to prevent restenosis after angioplasty. We also correlated miR-126 and miR-223 expression with clinical outcomes in a large cohort of CKD patients, in collaboration with the University Hospital of Ghent (Belgium) and Ambroise Paré Hospital, France. We evaluated both miRNA’s link with all-cause mortality and cardiovascular and renal events over a 6-year follow-up period. The serum levels of miR-126 and miR-223 were decreased as CKD stage advanced, and patients with higher levels of miR-126 and miR-223 had a higher survival rate. Similar results were observed for cardiovascular and renal events. In conclusion, CKD is associated with a decrease in circulating miR-126 and miR-223 levels in CKD patients. We will also present links between several uremic toxin concentrations and miRNA concentration in the patients of this cohort. Finally, anemia is a common feature of CKD that is associated with cardiovascular disease and poor clinical outcomes. A mixture of uremic toxins accumulates in the blood of CKD patients during the course of the disease, and there is good evidence that they modulate erythropoiesis, explaining at least partly anemia. The exact molecular mechanisms implicated are however poorly understood, although recent progresses have been made to identify key components in the CKD process. We will present results on the effect of uremic toxins on erythropoiesis, having an impact on cell metabolism during this process. Taken together, our findings could be of interest to both researchers and clinicians working in the field since they might shed new light on the molecular mechanisms involved in the CKD process.
