AbstractBackgroundIfosfamide has recently used as the intravenous component of bidirectional intraoperative chemotherapy (BDIC) with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) using cisplatin plus doxorubicin. Little is known about the systemic toxicities of this BDIC regimen. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the toxicities of this treatment.MethodsA prospective, cohort study, of patients who underwent the BDIC using intravenous ifosfamide 1,300 mg/m2 and a HIPEC regimen of cisplatin 50 mg/m2 plus doxorubicin 15 mg/m2, at King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Incidences and severity of leukopenia, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, and erythrocytopenia were assessed over 45 days after BDIC. Nephrotoxicity was assessed according to the RIFLE (Risk, Injury, Failure, Loss of kidney function, and End-stage kidney disease) classification system. Haemorrhagic cystitis was assessed by cystoscopy.ResultsA total of 18 patients were enrolled in the study. Grade 1 leukopenia developed in 11.1% of the patients, with 5.5% developed neutropenia. Thrombocytopenia developed in 61.1% of patients; it was grade 1 or 2 in most patients, but grade 3 in 1 (5.5%) patient. All patients developed erythrocytopenia after BDIC. Leukopenia, neutropenia, and thrombocytopenia resolved without treatment in all patients. Nephrotoxicity developed in 33.3% of the patients. One patient progressed to the End-stage kidney disease classification. No patient developed haemorrhagic cystitis.ConclusionsIntravenous ifosfamide combined with HIPEC using cisplatin plus doxorubicin yielded low rates of mild leukopenia. Mild thrombocytopenia was frequent, but severe suppression of platelets was uncommon. Nephrotoxicity developed in one-third of the patients, and haemorrhagic cystitis was absent.

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.

Background: The newly introduced device Mobil-O-Graph (IEM, Stolberg, Germany) combines brachial cuff oscillometry and pulse wave analysis, enabling the determination of pulse wave velocity (PWV) via complex mathematic algorithms during 24-h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM). However, the determinants of oscillometric PWV in the end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) population remain poorly understood. Methods: In this study, 81 ESKD patients undergoing long-term peritoneal dialysis underwent 24-h ABPM with the Mobil-O-Graph device. The association of 24-h oscillometric PWV with several demographic, clinical and haemodynamic parameters was explored using linear regression analysis. Results: In univariate analysis, among 21 risk factors, 24-h PWV exhibited a positive relationship with age, body mass index, overhydration assessed via bioimpedance spectroscopy, diabetic status, history of dyslipidaemia and coronary heart disease, and it had a negative relationship with female sex and 24-h heart rate. In stepwise multivariate analysis, age ( β: 0.883), 24-h systolic blood pressure (BP) ( β: 0.217) and 24-h heart rate ( β: −0.083) were the only three factors that remained as independent determinants of 24-h PWV (adjusted R 2 = 0.929). These associations were not modified when all 21 risk factors were analysed conjointly or when the model included only variables shown to be significant in univariate comparisons. Conclusion: The present study shows that age together with simultaneously assessed oscillometric BP and heart rate are the major determinants of Mobil-O-Graph-derived PWV, explaining >90% of the total variation of this marker. This age dependence of oscillometric PWV limits the validity of this marker to detect the premature vascular ageing, a unique characteristic of vascular remodelling in ESKD.
