Introduction: The degree of glomerular filtration rate determines the stages of chronic renal disease and, therefore, knowledge on its estimation is essential. Aims: Two standardized creatinine based estimated glomerular filtration rate equations and five equations based on the immunoturbidimetric determination of cystatin C were compared. Methods: The distribution of the analytes and the equations, their relations, as well as the differences among the estimated glomerular filtration rates and their chronic kidney disease stages assignments were studied. Results: The equations based on cystatin C classified more patient into stage 1, while the creatinine based ones more into stages 2, 3 and 4. The equations published as Grubb1, Grubb2 and Larsson classified more patients while the equations created by Tan and Sjöström classified fewer into stage 5 compared to the creatinine based equations. The equations of Grubb1 and Grubb2 resulted in the most similar stage assignment. The occurence of stages between 3 and 5 was the lowest using the equation of Sjöström. Conclusions: The different equations for the estimation of glomerular filtration rate modify significantly the chronic kidney disease stage assignment which may have an influence on the treatment and outcome measures of the patients.

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.
