Abstract Individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD) use polypharmacy, which, in combination with renal impairment, exposes them to the risk of drug-related problems (DRPs). There are no available tools in Brazil to systematically assess the pharmacotherapy and management of DRPs in this population. Therefore, the objective of this work was to validate the PAIR instrument (Pharmacotherapy Assessment in Chronic Renal Disease) for use in Brazilian Portuguese. This is a retrospective longitudinal observational study. Medical records from 100 CKD patients under conservative treatment, between 2016 and 2017, in a nephrology clinic, were analyzed. PAIR was applied by pharmacists in two consultations of the same patient, with an interval of 6 months. Reliability, conceptual validity, responsiveness of the instrument and prevalence of DRPs in the studied sample were assessed. A mean of 1.26 ± 0.96 DRPs/patient was identified. Inter-rater reliability coefficients (k) ranged from 0.58 to 0.94 and from 0.79 to 1.00 for test-retest, revealing moderate to perfect level of agreement. In conceptual validity, a mean of 1.60 ± 1.24 DRPs/patient was identified by the nephrologist through clinical judgment, compared to 1.33±0.76 DRPs/patient identified by the pharmacist using PAIR (p = 0.07). Therefore PAIR allowed the identification of clinically significant DRPs. In responsiveness, a mean of 1.26 ± 0.96 DRPs/patient was identified at the first consultation and 1.11 ± 1.02 DRPs/patient at the subsequent consultation (p = 0.17) by the pharmacist using PAIR. The number of DRPs between the periods did not change. As a conclusion, the PAIR allowed the identification of clinically significant DRPs in CKD, constituting a new validated instrument to be used in Brazil.

Chronic kidney disease is a disorder of renal function and structure. The glomerular filtration rate was below the normal value and less than 60 ml/minute /1.73 m2 for more than 3 months. Patients with chronic kidney disease have erythropoietin in small amounts, and cause anemia. Vitamin B1 acts as oxidative decarboxylation reactions, B6 necessary to heme synthesis, and B12 converts homocysteine to methionine. This study aims to measure the impacts of parenteral vitamin B1, B6, B12 on hemoglobin level in chronic renal disease patients undergoing hemodialysis at Bethesda Hospital Yogyakarta and Panti Rapih Hospital Yogyakarta. The design of this study was one group pretest-posttest using secondary data from lab results from medical records. Data were collected from 117 patients using consecutive sampling methods at Bethesda Hospital Yogyakarta and Panti Rapih Hospital Yogyakarta in March 2019. The treatment given was parenteral vitamin B1, B6, B12 twice a week with a dose of 2 ml. Vitamin B was given intravenously after each hemodialysis. Hemoglobin levels were measured 3 times on 1st visit (before vitamin B administration), 2nd visit (after vitamin B administration), and 3rd visit (after vitamin B administration). There were significant differences of hemoglobin levels on 2nd visit compared to 1st visit (p = 0,000); 3rd visit compared to 1st visit (p = 0,000) and 3rd visit compared to 2nd visit (p = 0.010). Parenteral vitamin B1, B6, B12 gave significant impacts on hemoglobin level and was safe for chronic kidney disease patients undergoing hemodialysis.

Intracerebral Hemorrhages

Chronic kidney diseases and cardiovascular diseases have several common risk factors like hypertension and diabetes. In chronic renal disease stroke risk is several times higher than in the average population. The combination of classical risk factors and those characteristic of chronic kidney disease might explain this increased risk. Among acute cerebrovascular diseases intracerebral hemorrhages are more frequent than in those with normal kidney function. The outcome of stroke is worse in chronic kidney disease. The treatment of stroke (thrombolysis, antiplatelet and anticoagulant treatment, statins, etc.) is an area of clinical research in this patient group. There are no reliable data on the application of thrombolysis in acute stroke in patients with chronic renal disease. Aspirin might be administered. Carefulness, individual considerations and lower doses might be appropriate when using other treatments. The condition of the kidney as well as other associated diseases should be considered during administration of antihypertensive and lipid lowering medications.

The 2011 report of the World Health Organization General Assembly on noncommunicable diseases identified chronic kidney disease as a worldwide health issue posing a heavy economic burden. Hepatitis C virus infection, which is responsible for over 1 million deaths resulting from cirrhosis and liver cancer, is linked to chronic kidney disease in several ways; some forms of renal disease are precipitated by hepatitis C and patients with end-stage chronic renal disease are at increased risk for acquiring HCV. The aim of this review is to update the evidence on the relationship between hepatitis C infection and chronic kidney disease. Information has been accumulated in the last decade indicating that HCV plays an adverse effect on the incidence and progression of chronic kidney disease; a novel meta-analysis of observational studies (seven longitudinal studies; 890,560 unique individuals) found a relationship between hepatitis C seropositivity and incidence of reduced estimated glomerular filtration rate (adjusted relative risk, 1.70; 95% CI, 1.20; 2.39; P=0.002) in the adult general population. In addition to conventional risk factors, hepatitis C may be an additional factor for the development of chronic kidney disease, and an atheromasic activity of hepatitis C virus has been mentioned. The link between hepatitis C and atherosclerosis could also explain the excess risk of cardiovascular mortality that has been observed among hepatitis C virus seropositive patients undergoing maintenance dialysis. A number of biologically plausible mechanisms related to hepatitis C virus have been hypothesized to contribute to atherosclerosis. Implementation of effective treatment intervention towards hepatitis C is required to decrease the healthcare burden of hepatitis C and to prevent the progression of chronic renal disease.

Abstract: Anemia is a complication of chronic kidney disease (CKD) that often occurs. Moreover, it can occur earlier than other complications of CKD in almost all patients with late stage kidney disease. This study was aimed to obtain the profile of anemia in subjects with stage 4 and 5 of chronic kidney disease. This was a retrospective and descriptive study using medical records of patients with CKD associated with anemia for two years. The results showed that of 428 CKD patients, 131 suffered from anemia (30.60%). The majority of patients were female (54.19%), age range 60-69 years (44.27%), non-dialysis stage 5 of CKD patients (74.04%), had sufficient iron status (79.38%). However, 15,26% of the 131 patients got blood transfusion therapy. In conclusion, the majority of CKD patients were stage 5 ND, female, age range of 60-69 years, had sufficient iron status, and were not treated with blood transfusion.Keywords: chronic kidney disease, anemia Abstrak: Anemia merupakan komplikasi penyakit ginjal kronik (PGK) yang sering terjadi, bahkan dapat terjadi lebih awal dibandingkan komplikasi PGK lainnya dan hampir pada semua pasien penyakit ginjal tahap akhir.

Background: Various studies have shown the association between dyslipidemia and cardio-vascular risk among patients of chronic renal disease but the association non-significant than patients with normal renal function. There was lack of evidence exists because patients with chronic renal disease were excluded from the major clinical studies where the association with that target dyslipidemia treatment was being evaluated Material & Methods: The present prospective study was conducted among the patients of Chronic Kidney Disease above 18 years of age and diagnosed on the basis of history, detailed clinical examination, and biochemical and sonological examination based upon National Kidney Foundation (NKF) criteria were enrolled into the study. Clearance from hospital ethics committee was taken before start of study. Written informed consent was taken from each study participant. Results:  In the present study out of total study participants of chronic kidney disease 46% were in the 3rd stage of CKD, 38% were in the 4th stage of CKD and 16% were in the 5th stage of CKD. Out of total study participants of chronic kidney disease, 82% were managed by conservative treatment and 18% were being managed by hemodialysis. Out of total study participants of chronic kidney disease, 38% had normal lipid profile while 62% patients had dyslipidemia. We found statistically significant (p value < 0.05) association between dyslipidemia and hemodialysis and association between dyslipidemia and stages of chronic kidney disease was statistically non- significant (p value > 0.05). Conclusion:  We concluded from the present study that dyslipidemia is significantly associated as an additional risk factor in patients of Chronic Kidney Disease. We found significant association of hemodialysis with abnormal lipid profile. Key words: Chronic kidney disease, dyslipidemia, hemodialysis.

Clinical Syndrome

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a clinical syndrome arising from progressive kidney injury, formerly known as chronic renal failure, chronic renal disease, and chronic renal insufficiency. It is classified into five stages based primarily on glomerular filtration rate (GFR). This article discusses the epidemiology of CKD and end-stage renal disease (ESRD), as well as etiology and genetics, pathophysiology, and pathogenesis. The section on diagnosis looks at clinical manifestations and physical findings, laboratory (and other) tests, imaging studies, and biopsy. A short section on differential diagnosis is followed by a discussion of treatment, including hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. Long-term complications of patients on dialysis include cardiovascular disease, renal osteodystrophy, dialysis-related amyloidosis, and acquired cystic disease (renal cell carcinoma). The final section addresses prognosis and socioeconomic burden. Figures include the classification system for CKD, prevalence of CKD in the United States, rising prevalence, risk of, and leading causes of ESRD in the United States, plus the changing prevalence of ESRD over time, clinical manifestations of uremia, and an overview of hemodialysis circuit. Tables look at the burden of CKD relative to other chronic disorders, the specific hereditary causes of kidney disease, and situations when serum creatinine does not accurately predict GFR. Other tables list equations for estimating GFR, the causes of CKD without shrunken kidneys, and clinical features distinguishing chronic kidney disease from acute kidney injury. ESRD and indications for initiation of dialysis are presented, as well as typical composition of dialysate and reasons for failure of peritoneal dialysis. This chapter contains 71 references.
