The Impact

ABSTRACT Background: Malnutrition is a common problem in patients with end-stage-kidney-disease (ESKD) and is a strong risk factor for morbidity and mortality. ESKDis a maladaptive metabolic state and patients need to increase their dietary protein and calorie intake especially when on maintenance dialysis. In a developing country like India, the economic and knowledge barrier affects the diet of the patient. In this study we assessed the prevalence of malnutrition and the impact of dietary counselling on improvement in nutritional status of the patient. Method: This study enrolled patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis in our centre between June 2017 and June 2019. The prevalence of malnutrition was assessed by Subjective Global Assessment (SGA). Dietary history was recorded with a 24-hour dietary recall method. The patient was then periodically counselled regarding adequate dietary protein and calorie requirement and was re-assessed for the prevalence of malnutrition at the end of 6 months. Results: The mean age of study cohort was 38.76±10.85 years and 64 % were male.Hypertension (38.89%) and Diabetes (11.11%) were the most common co-morbid illnesses.The prevalence of PEW was 92% at baseline and 86% at the end of 6 months of follow up. There was a significant increase in BMI from 19.97 to 20.38 (p=0.022). Most of the study patients were from very low socioeconomic status (78% Class V modified Prasad's scale). Conclusions: There is a very high prevalence of protein-energy malnutrition among ESKD patients on maintenance haemodialysis. Nutritional counselling resulted in statistically significant improvement in the prevalence of malnutrition. Hence,nutritional counselling must be given regularly to patients with kidney disease.

Abstract Chronic kidney disease (CKD), especially end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), is associated with increased risk for cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality. Exercise intolerance as well as reduced cardiovascular reserve are extremely common in patients with CKD. Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) is a non-invasive, dynamic technique that provides an integrative evaluation of cardiovascular, pulmonary, neuropsychological and metabolic function during maximal or submaximal exercise, allowing the evaluation of functional reserves of these systems. This assessment is based on the principle that system failure typically occurs when the system is under stress and, thus, CPET is currently considered to be the gold-standard for identifying exercise limitation and differentiating its causes. It has been widely used in several medical fields for risk stratification, clinical evaluation and other applications but its use in everyday practice for CKD patients is scarce. This article describes the basic principles and methodology of CPET and provides an overview of important studies that utilized CPET in patients with ESKD, in an effort to increase awareness of CPET capabilities among practicing nephrologists.

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.
