We report a child with Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome (HPS) and chronic kidney disease (stage II) with histological diagnosis of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). A 15-year-old male of Puerto Rico ancestry with history of HPS, hypertension (HTN), asthma, obesity, and chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage II presented with new-onset proteinuria without edema. His blood pressure had been controlled, serum creatinine had been 0.9–1.4 mg/dL, and first morning urine protein/creatinine ratio (UPC) ranged from 0.2 to 0.38. Due to persistent nonorthostatic proteinuria with CKD, renal biopsy was performed and FSGS (not otherwise specified) with chronic diffuse tubulopathy (tubular cytoplasmic droplets) and acute tubular injury was reported. Ceroid-like material is known to infiltrate tissues (i.e., lungs, colon, and kidney) in HPS, but the reason for the renal insufficiency is unknown. Nonspecific kidney disease and in one adult case IgA nephropathy with ANCA-positive glomerulonephritis have previously been reported in patients with Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome. To our knowledge, we report the first pediatric renal pathology case of HPS associated with CKD. This paper discusses presentation and management of renal disease in HPS.

Chronic kidney disease is usually related with anemia and the level of anemiacorrelates with the severity of renal failure. A chronic kidney disease is complicated byanemia and anemia may contribute to adverse clinical outcomes. No large-scale populationdata are available for patients with chronic kidney disease regarding prevalence of anemia,subpopulations at risk, and relationships between anemia and renal dysfunctionObjectives:Theobjective of this study is to determine the frequency of different patterns of anemia in relationto glomerular filtration rate in patients suffering from chronic kidney disease stage II and abovepatients.Material &Methods:Study Design: Cross sectional study. Setting:Medical andNephrology wards of Liaquat University Hospital Hyderabad / Jamshoro. Period:20th January2013 to 19thDecember 2013.Results:During the study period, total 339 patients of chronickidney disease with stage II and above patients were enrolled. The mean age + StandardDeviation and range) of patients was 50.65 + 11.86 (16 to 80 years, n = 339). 211(62.2%) weremale and 128(37.8%) were female. (Male to Female Ratio 1:6). Mean Hemoglobin + SD was7.16 + 3.89 (3.0 to 17.0 g/dL). The frequency of anemia was present in 285(84.1%) patientswith mean Hb+ SD 6.02 + 2.1 (g/dL). The mean weight + SD was 56.50 + 9.84 (40 to 81 kg).The mean serum creatinine + SD was 5.63 + 2.48 (0.9 to 12.0 mg/dL) and we observed thatmost frequent pattern of anemia was normocytic-normochromic anemia in 216(77.0%) patients,hypochromic-microcytic in 61(18.0%) and macroyctic in 17(5.0%) patients. We also found thatas anemia increased progressively with declining GFR with mean hemoglobin concentrationof 11.78 +2.8 g/dL in CKD stage 2, 10.14 + 3.6 g/dL in CKD stage 3, 6.8 + 3.6 g/dL in CKDstage 4, 7.44 + 4.0 g/dL in CKD stage 5.Conclusion: Frequency of anemia increases withthe progression of stage of chronic kidney disease (decreased GFR) and anemia was mostcommon in stage 5 patients of chronic kidney disease.Most frequent pattern of anemia isnormocytic normochromic anemia.

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a public health problem and many studies support the link between kidney dysfunction and cardiovascular events.  Aldosterone has been shown for decades that a plasma aldosterone concentration is elevated in CKD. Whilst, Osteoprotegerin (OPG), after its capacity to protect bone, also osteoprotegerin is elevated in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), where it could predict the deterioration of kidney function, cardiovascular, vascular events and all-cause mortality. On the other hand, fibroblast growth factors (FGFs), in patients with CKD, its levels seem to increase progressively as kidney function worsens. The aim of the present study is to assess the correlations between serum osteoprotegerin, aldosterone and fibroblast growth factor-23 levels in patients with chronic kidney disease stage (II-IV) with and without cardiovascular events. The study includes fifty-nine patients with chronic kidney disease(CKD) and according to CKD-EPI /Creatinine/ 2009 equation to be allocated as stage II-IV, patients were divided into three groups: Group1 (29 patients) with chronic kidney disease(CKD) stage (II-IV) with cardiovascular events. Group2 (30 patients) with chronic kidney disease stage (II-IV) without cardiovascular event, to be compared with Group 3(23 apparently healthy subjects), age and sex matched to that of patients. Serum obtained from their blood specimens to measure; glucose, urea, creatinine, calcium, phosphate, sodium, potassium, aldosterone, FGF-23, Osteoprotergen. Data analysis showed that fasting serum glucose levels of CKD patients (with and without CV disorder) had significantly higher values as compared to the controls (76.5% and 29% respectively). Serum Aldosterone, FGF-23, OPG levels were presented with no significant variation among studied groups with CV events or those without CV events.

Impaired phosphate excretion by the kidney leads to Hyperphosphatemia. It is an independent predictor of cardiovascular disease and mortality in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (stage 4 and 5) particularly in case of dialysis. Phosphate retention develops early in chronic kidney disease (CKD) due to the reduction in the filtered phosphate load. Overt hyperphosphatemia develops when the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) falls below 25 to 40 mL/min/1.73 m2. Hyperphosphatemia is typically managed with oral phosphate binders in conjunction with dietary phosphate restriction. These drugs aim to decrease serum phosphate by binding ingested phosphorus in the gastrointestinal tract and its transformation to non-absorbable complexes [1].

BACKGROUND. The lack of data on the epidemiology of presarcopenia/sarcopenia leads to an underestimation of the role of this condition in the structure of morbidity and mortality of haemodialysis patients in theRussian Federation. THE AIM: to study the epidemiological aspects of presarcopenia /sarcopenia in patients with chronic kidney disease stage 5d. PATIENTS AND METHODS. This study comprised 317 patients receiving programmed bicarbonate haemodialysis for 8.2 ± 5.1 years, among them 171 women and 146 men, the average age was 57.1 ± 11.3 years. The assessment of the presence of sarcopenia was performed using the method recommended by the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People. RESULTS. The prevalence of presarcopenia was 0.7 % and sarcopenia 29.6 %. The incidence of skeletal muscle mass deficiency according to muscle mass index (IMM) was 30.3 %, 48.7 % showed a decrease in muscle strength according to dynamometry, and low performance of skeletal muscles according to 6 minute walk test was determined in 42.8 %. Sarcopenia patients were significantly characterized by lower body mass index, as well as higher body fat mass values. The duration of haemodialysis (χ2 = 22.376, p = 0.0001) and the patient's age (χ2 = 10.545 p = 0.014) were an independent risk factors for the development of sarcopenia. CONCLUSION. Sarcopenia is recorded more frequently in hemodialysis patients than presarcopenia. Its prevalence increases among patients of older age groups and with a hemodialysis duration of more than 5 years. The age and experience of dialysis make their independent contribution to the development of this syndrome.
