End Stage

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end stage kidney disease are prevalent even in women of reproductive age. These are known to reduce fertility and successful pregnancy. There are chances of conception even in advanced CKD, though laden with complications. We present two cases of women who conceived in advanced CKD and are on haemodialysis in a tertiary hospital in Kenya and review of literature.

Abstract Background and Aims The prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in India varies from 0.16–0.78%. The reported incidence of malnutrition in CKD patients is 37–84%. There is a paucity of data on the quantification of malnutrition and inflammation in undialyzed patients of CKD from north east of India. This study analyzed the prevalence and causes of malnutrition and inflammation in patients with CKD before the initiation of dialysis treatment. Method This study was conducted from May 2017 to May 2019 in the department of nephrology Guahati medical college hospital. Assessment of nutritional and inflammatory status was carried out in patients with CKD before initiation of dialysis. Serum albumin; body mass index (BMI); triceps skin fold thickness (TST); mid-arm muscle circumference (MAMC); and subjective global assessment (SGA) scoring were used for assessment of nutritional parameters. Serum C-reactive protein; serum albumin and serum ferritin level were used to assess the inflammatory status in these patients. Results A total of 528 (male:female= 359:169) patients with CKD participated in this study. Diabetic Nephropathy (35%) was the most common; followed by; hypertension (23%) and chronic glomerulonephritis (20 %). The evidence of malnutrition was noted in 344 (65%). The mean age of patients with malnutrition was 52.8±12.45 years with a male predominance (68%). On the basis of SGA score; malnutrition was noted in 344 patients (mild moderate [36%]; severe; [30%]); remaining (34%) were well nourished. Thus; evidence of Malnutrition was noted in 65% of patients with CKD.). Serum total protein & albumin were higher in the non-malnourished patients in comparison to malnourished (5.83±1.0 vs 5.31±1.12 p<0.05; 3.65±0.7 vs 2.62±0.74) The inflammatory markers (serum ferritin & C reactive protein) were elevated significantly in patients with malnutrition in comparison to those without malnutrition (308.15±60.18 mg/dL vs. 251.64±63.14 mg/dL; p < 0.001; 77% vs. 50%; p < 0.01). Conclusion Malnutrition and inflammation are common in patients with CKD before the commencement of dialysis. This indicates that an emphasis should be placed on the assessment and prevention or correction of malnutrition and inflammatory burden in these patients with CKD.
