Aim. Evaluation of markers of systemic inflammation in patients with chronic heart failure in comorbidity with chronic kidney disease.Methods. The study included 188 patients with heart failure and kidney disease including control group (76 patients) with heart failure with preserved renal function aged 38 to 83 years (mean age 66.8±10.1 years), with the duration of heart failure of about 8 years. Quantitative measurement of C-reactive protein and proteins of blood serum and daily excretion of protein with urine were performed.Results. Glomerular filtration rate in patients without renal pathology was 71.1±11.7 ml/min/1.73 m2, and in the group with heart failure associated with kidney dysfunction it was 51.5±19.1 ml/min/1.73 m2. C-reactive protein, γ-globulin, albumin and total serum protein in patients with chronic kidney disease differed from those in patients with heart failure without kidney damage.Conclusion. C-reactive protein and γ-globulin in the serum significantly increase in patients with heart failure and chronic kidney disease and can be used as markers of cardiac as well as renal events.

Background: Chronic kidney disease is a worldwide public health issue which is associated with an increased risk of end-stage renal failure and cardiovascular disease. Systemic inflammation exists during chronic renal failure. Recent researches have highlighted the pivotal role of inflammation between renal and cardiovascular disease. The aim of our study is to determine the inflammatory profile of the patient suffering from chronic kidney disease and the influence of hemodialysis on this profile. Methods: We carried out a cross sectional study on 93 patients in the Nephrology Department at Hedi Chaker University Hospital, Sfax, South of Tunisia. Among those patients, 72 patients underwent hemodialysis and 21 patients had chronic kidney disease at stage 3. Clinical data and antecedents were collected. Biological samples were taken after informing the patients and taking their consent. Biological data consisted in lipid profile, albumin rate, hemoglobin rate, uric acid concentration and the usual markers of inflammation noting sedimentation rate, C - reactive protein and orosomucoid. Results: Hemodialysis group of the 72 patients had mean hemodialysis vintage of 54.6 ± 43 months. The inflammatory profile was worse in hemodialysis patients compared to chronic kidney disease patients. Both sedimentation rate, C - reactive protein and orosomucoid were higher in hemodialysis group than in chronic kidney disease group with 71 ± 35.3 mm vs. 42.1 ± 15.5 mm (p < 0.05); 14.6 ± 28.7 mg/l vs. 6.7 ± 8 mg/l (p = 0.02); 1.3 ± 0.7g/l vs. 0.9 ± 0.4 g/l (p = 0.01), respectively. Conclusion: Inflammation increases in dialysis patient. It deserves the nephrologist’s consideration in order to minimize its harmful effects. The monitoring of inflammation markers must be integrated into the nephrologist’s medical practice.

Background: Chronic diseases are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in India. Globally, chronic kidney disease is the 12th cause of death and the 17th cause of disability, respectively. CKD is defined as kidney damage or glomerular filtration rate (GFR) <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 for 3 months or more, irrespective of cause. The present study aimed to find out correlation between serum urea, creatinine and C-reactive protein (CRP) level among patients suffering from chronic kidney disease in an urban based tertiary care hospital in Bikaner, western Rajasthan, India.Methods: This study was conducted at Sardar Patel Medical College and Associated Hospitals at Bikaner, Rajasthan from August 2015 to December 2016. There were 50 cases and 50 controls in the age groups from 10 to 60 yearrs. We took fresh samples and performed required tests following standard protocol. CRP has been done by Antigen Antibody reaction (latex method). RFT has been performed on semi-automatic analyzer.Results: Levels of serum urea and creatinine were significantly raised in CKD patients (p-value<0.005) and CRP level was raised in 52% cases. While 48% cases having normal level %), which requires further study.  Renal function tests were significantly higher in cases than controls.Conclusions: Serum creatinine and urea level were significantly higher in cases as compared to control group.

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is imposing newer challenges, not only globally, but, also in India, especially managing the end stage renal disease (ESRD). Screening for CKD at an early stage, by, high sensitivity C reactive protein (hsCRP) with or without other clinical, biochemical or anthropometric parameters helps initiate specific therapy to reduce the progression of renal disease. Although, malnutrition, inflammation and cardio vascular diseases (CVD) have been shown as significant independent risk factors of mortality in CKD patients, but, whether there exists any relationship between hsCRP and serum proteins and serum albumin levels, one of the important indicators of PEM, has not been extensively studied in pre-dialysis CKD patients.Methods: The study included a total of 60 adult subjects. Of these, 30 were study cases who fulfilled the case definition of CKD and were compared with 30 patients who did not show any signs or symptoms of CKD. As per the objective - hsCRP values were estimated by ELISA test, quantified and statistically correlated with total serum proteins and albumin levels.Results: A significant difference was found in the mean value of hsCRP in cases and in controls (p value 0.001). No significant difference was observed in the mean level of total serum protein in cases and controls, but, the mean differences in the level of serum albumin between cases and controls was significant. The association of serum albumin and hsCRP was found to be significant (p value <0.001). If a level of serum albumin < 3.5 is taken as a marker of malnutrition, it is found that 66.66% of patients have hypo-albuminaemia.Conclusions: The present study comes to an important conclusion that hsCRP is a useful  independent predictor of CKD and if correlated with serum albumin levels, it would help clinician manage the patient effectively by initiating an aggressive yet very appropriate therapy at the pre-dialysis stage with the likelihood of an ‘evidence based’ reduction in morbidity and mortality.

AbstractBackground and aims. Dyslipidemia (DLP) is a common complication of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and may accelerate its progression. Circulating lipoproteins and their constituent proteins, apolipoproteins, are risk factors for CKD and cardiovascular diseases (CVD). The aim of the study was to determine whether there is a correlation between apolipoproteins and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) or between apolipoproteins and anthropometrical and laboratory parameters or between evaluated cardiovascular risk (CV) and dyslipidemia/CKD. Material and methods. We performed a study on 51 subjects from the Nephrology Department of Emergency Clinical County Hospital of Craiova, from November 2011 to July 2013. Results. We found statistically significant correlations between eGFR and Apo A1. Also we found a linear correlation between C-reactive protein (CRP) and Apo B. When we evaluated the CV risk using CRP, we found statistically significant differences between the groups (CKD and DLP, only CKD, only DLP and control group), patients with CKD and DLP showing the highest levels of CRP. Conclusions. Elevated levels of Apo A1 are associated with a low rate of CKD. DLP and chronic inflammation play an important role in the progression of CKD. Patients with CKD and DLP had a high cardiovascular risk.
