The oral adsorbent AST-120 has the potential to delay dialysis initiation and improve survival of patients on dialysis. We evaluated the effect of AST-120 on dialysis initiation and its potential to improve survival in patients with chronic kidney disease. The present retrospective pair-matched study included 560 patients, grouped according to whether or not they received AST-120 before dialysis (AST-120 and non-AST-120 groups). The cumulative dialysis initiation free rate and survival rate were compared by the Kaplan-Meier method. Multivariate analysis was used to determine the impact of AST-120 on dialysis initiation. Our results showed significant differences in the 12- and 24-month dialysis initiation free rate (P<0.001), although no significant difference was observed in the survival rate between the two groups. In conclusion, AST-120 delays dialysis initiation in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients but has no effect on survival. AST-120 is an effective therapy for delaying the progression of CKD.

Several studies have shown that both chronic kidney disease (CKD) and diabetes mellitus are risk factors for mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). This study was undertaken to investigate influence of CKD on the prognostic significance of diabetes in patients with AMI. Between January 1996 and December 2005, 888 patients with AMI underwent coronary angiography within 24 hours after the onset of chest pain. CKD was difined estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of less than 60.0 ml/minute/1.73 m 2 of body-surface area (stage3–5). Kaplan-Meier method was used to compare 5-year survival of diabetic and non-diabetic patients, in the presence (n=337) or absence (n=551). Kaplan-Meier curves for 5-year survival rate are shown in Figure . In the absence of CKD, there was no significant difference in 5-year survival rate between patients with diabetes and those without (93 % v.s. 94 %, p=0.82). In patients with CKD, however, diabetes was associated with lower 5-year survival rate (65 % v.s. 87 %, p<0.001). Multivariate analysis showed that diabetes was an independent predictor for 5-year survival in patients with CKD (OR 3.2, 95%CI 1.8–5.8, p=0.0002), but not in patients without CKD (OR 1.1, 95%CI 0.4–2.5, p=0.82). Diabetes mellitus was an independent predictor for death after AMI in patients with CKD. Aggressive treatment after AMI should be advocated in diabetic patients with CKD.

BACKGROUND: Heart failure (HF) and Chronic kidney disease (CKD) are major public health problems that often co-exist with a resultant high mortality and morbidity. Most of the studies evaluating their reciprocal prognostic impact have focused on mortality in majority populations. There is limited literature on the impact of CKD on HF morbidities in ethnic minorities. AIMS: Our study seeks to compare HF outcomes in patients with or without CKD in an African-American predominant cohort. METHODS: We obtained data from the NGH at Meharry Heart Failure Cohort; a comprehensive retrospective HF database comprised of patient care data (HF admissions, non-HF admissions, and emergency room visits) were assessed from January 2006 to December 2008. The study group consist of 306 subjects with a mean age of 65±15 years. 81% were African-American (AA), 19% Caucasian and 48.5% are females. Following the NKF KDOQI guidelines, 5 stages of CKD were outlined based on GFR. RESULTS: The overall prevalence of CKD in this population is 54.2%. CKD stage 1 was most prevalent with 45.8%, prevalence for stages 2-5 are 21.6%, 18.3%, 9.5% and 4.9% respectively. The comparison of the mean of ER visits, non HF hospitalizations and HF hospitalizations between normal and CKD patients was done using independent t-test and showed no significant difference in the mean number of ER visits (p=0.564), or HF hospitalizations(p=0.235). However, there is a statistically significant difference in the mean number of non -HF hospitalizations between normal and CKD patients (p=0.031). CONCLUSION: This study shows that the prevalence of CKD in this minority -predominant HF cohort is similar to prior studies in majority populations. However, only the non-HF hospitalizations were significantly increased in the CKD group. Future prospective studies will be needed to define the implications of this in the management of HF patients with CKD.

The prevalence of chronic kidney disease on dialysis or CKD5D is increasing with a significant impact on disease burden in many countries. Patients are usually listed in the national renal registries, which report demographic data, incidence, prevalence, and outcome. The survival rate is an important outcome measure to characterize the impact of treatment in the CKD5 patient population in the national and international renal registries. Indonesian Society of Nephrology (InaSN) has the Indonesian Renal Registry program to collect data that was endorsed to monitor dialysis treatment quality in Indonesia. IRR releases an annual report, but there is no survival analysis yet. This study aimed to discover the five-year survival rate of CKD5D patients in West Java between 2007–2018 and its factor based on the IRR database. A retrospective cohort study was performed by gaining all patients' data from the IRR database, then data on all of the patients from West Java province who completed a 5-year follow-up on December 31, 2018. Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox proportional hazard's model were used to analyze the risk factors. There were 3,199 data included in this study. In total, the 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 year survival rates are 82%, 70%, 62%, 58%, and 55 %, respectively. Patients whose age is above 55 years and with unknown underlying kidney disease have a worse survival rate with a hazard ratio of 1.28 and 1.50, respectively. Further exploration of IRR data will provide better information on dialysis treatment in Indonesia.

Abstract Background: Optimal clinical care of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) requires collaboration between primary care physicians (PCP) and nephrologists. We undertook a randomised trial to determine the impact of superimposed nephrologist care compared to guidelines-directed management by PCPs in CKD patients after hospital discharge. Methods: Stage 3b-4 CKD patients were enrolled during a hospitalization and randomised in two arms: Co-management by PCPs and nephrologists (interventional arm) versus management by PCPs with written instructions and consultations by nephrologists on demand (standard care). Our primary outcome was death or rehospitalisation within the 2 years post-randomisation. Secondary outcomes were: urgent renal replacement therapy (RRT), decline of renal function and decrease of quality of life at 2 years. Results: From November 2009 to the end of June 2013, we randomised 242 patients. Mean follow-up was 51 + 20 months. Survival without rehospitalisation, GFR decline and elective dialysis initiation did not differ between the two arms. Quality of life was also similar in both groups . Compared to randomised patients, those who either declined to participate in the study or were previously known by nephrologists had a worse survival. Conclusion: These results do not demonstrate a benefit of a regular renal care compared to guided PCPs care in terms of survival or dialysis initiation in CKD patients. Increased awareness of renal disease management among PCPs may be as effective as a co-management by PCPs and nephrologists in order to improve the prognosis of moderate-to-severe CKD.

Background. There is very little published data on outcomes of COVID-19 among chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. We compared the outcomes of COVID-19 in a tertiary care renal hospital among CKD V patients on hemodialysis (HD), peritoneal dialysis (PD), and dialysis initiation, in terms of duration of hospitalization, in-patient mortality, and 30-day mortality. Methods. A total of 436 CKD V patients, on either HD, PD, or dialysis initiation, with COVID-19 who were admitted at the National Kidney and Transplant Institute (NKTI) from March 13, 2020, to August 31, 2020, were included. Kaplan–Meier survival analysis was performed. Comparison of probability of mortality by group was performed using Log-Rank test. p values ≤0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results. Among 436 CKD V patients, 298 (68%) were on HD, 103 (24%) were on PD, and 35 (8%) required dialysis initiation. Overall in-hospital mortality was 34%; 38% were on HD, 20% on PD, and 37% on dialysis initiation. Total 30-day mortality was 27%; 32% were on HD, 26% on PD, and 16% on dialysis initiation. Median follow-up was 24 days. Among the 137 deaths recorded, total median time to death was 10 days; 8.5 days, 15.5 days, and 9 days for HD, PD, and dialysis initiation groups, respectively. Probability of mortality was significantly higher in HD patients versus PD patients ( p < 0.00001 ) and in the dialysis initiation group compared to PD patients ( p = 0.0234 ). Mortality probability, however, was not significantly different in HD patients versus the dialysis initiation group ( p = 0.63 ). Conclusion. Among CKD V patients diagnosed with COVID-19 at the NKTI, those on HD and on dialysis initiation had significantly higher in-hospital and 30-day mortality, compared to patients on PD.

Despite the potential relationship with metabolic derangements, the association between dietary carbohydrate intake and renal function remains unknown. The present study investigated the impact of dietary carbohydrate intake on the development of incident chronic kidney disease (CKD) in a large-scale prospective cohort with normal renal function. A total of 6746 and 1058 subjects without and with diabetes mellitus (DM) were analyzed, respectively. Carbohydrate intake was assessed by a 24-h dietary recall food frequency questionnaire. The primary endpoint was CKD development, defined as a composite of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of ≤60 mL/min/1.73 m2 and the development of proteinuria. CKD newly developed in 20.1% and 36.0% of subjects during median follow-ups of 140 and 119 months in the non-DM and DM subjects, respectively. Categorization of non-DM subjects into dietary carbohydrate density quartiles revealed a significantly higher risk of CKD development in the third and fourth quartiles than in the first quartile (P = 0.037 for first vs. third; P = 0.001 for first vs. fourth). A significant risk elevation was also found with increased carbohydrate density when carbohydrate density was treated as a continuous variable (P = 0.008). However, there was no significant difference in the incident CKD risk among those with DM according to dietary carbohydrate density quartiles. Carbohydrate-rich diets may increase the risk of CKD development in non-DM subjects.

The incidence of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is increasing every year. The prevalence of CKD patients in Indonesia is 0.2%. One of the management of CKD is hemodialysis. The benchmark of success in hemodialysis therapy in extending the life of the patient is a survival rate. Through this survival rate, it will be visible to see the duration of the patient can survive. Objective: This study aimed to determine the factors which affected the survival time of Chronic Kidney Disease patients undergoing hemodialysis in Banyumas Regional Hospital. This study implemented an observational analytic design. This research type was a retrospective cohort. This study involved 275 respondents selected through simple random sampling technique. The setting of the study was in the Hemodialysis Room of Banyumas Regional Hospital. Research variables were tested by Kaplan meier method. The analysis indicated that the occupation and vascular access significantly affect the survival rate of patients with the Chronic Kidney disease. The result of the significance (p-value) was smaller than 0.05.There is a correlation between factors that affected the survival rate and the time of life resistance of CKD patients undergoing hemodialysis at Banyumas Regional Hospital, which are occupation and vascular access.
