Abstract The usage of glyphosate is increasing worldwide. Glyphosate and its major metabolite, aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA), are of potential toxicological concern in unknown chronic kidney disease (CKDu). As with Cd and other elements, glyphosate exposure has been reported as risk factor for CKDu in farmers. This study aimed to evaluate the influence of co-exposure to glyphosate and heavy metals in chronic kidney disease. In this study, the urine samples from 55 patients with CKD and 100 participants without CKD were analyzed for glyphosate, As, Cd, and Pb concentrations, and eGFR. Negative associations between glyphosate, AMPA, As, and Cd concentrations in the urine and eGFR were found for study subjects (p < 0.05). With regard to the effect of co-exposure, the odds ratios (OR) for subjects with an eGFR of < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 was significant because of the high Cd concentration (> 1 µg/g creatinine; OR = 7.57, 95% CI = 1.91–29.95). With regard to the effect of co-exposure, the OR for subjects with an of eGFR < 45 mL/min/1.73 m2 was significant at high glyphosate concentration (> 1 µg/g creatinine; OR = 1.57, 95% CI = 1.13–2.16) and As concentration (> 1 µg/g creatinine; OR = 1.01, 95% CI = 1.00–1.02). These results showed that glyphosate, AMPA, As, and Cd have an effect on CKD; notably, Cd, As, and glyphosate exposure can be important risk factors after stage 3a of CKD, and that there was a co-exposure effect of As and glyphosate in CKD after stage 3b. The potential health impacts of glyphosate should be considered, especial for patients with CKD and eGFR below 45 mL/min/1.73 m2.

Background: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is an important public health issue and is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Risk factors for CKD are well established, but most are typically assessed at or near the time of CKD diagnosis. Our hypothesis was that risk factors for CKD are present earlier in the course of the disease. We compared the prevalence of risk factors between CKD cases and controls at time points up to 30 years prior to CKD diagnosis. Methods: Participants were drawn from the Framingham Heart Study Offspring cohort. CKD was defined as an estimated glomerular filtration rate of ≤60ml/min/1.73m2. Incident CKD cases occurring at examination cycles 6, 7, and 8 were age- and sex-matched 1:2 to controls. Risk factors including systolic blood pressure (SBP), hypertension, lipids, diabetes, smoking status, body mass index (BMI) and dipstick proteinuria were measured at the time of CKD diagnosis and 10, 20 and 30 years prior. Logistic regression models, adjusted for age, sex, and time period, were constructed to compare risk factor profiles at each time point between cases and controls Results: During follow-up, 441 new cases of CKD were identified and these were matched to 882 controls (mean age 69.2 years, 52.4% women). Up to 30 years prior to CKD diagnosis, those who ultimately developed CKD were more likely to have hypertension (OR 1.74, CI 1.21-2.49), be obese (OR 1.74, CI 1.15-2.63) and have higher triglycerides (OR 1.43, CI 1.12-1.84, p=0.005 per 1 standard deviation increase). Each 10mmHg increase in SBP was associated with an OR of 1.22 for future CKD (95% CI 1.10-1.35) Additionally, cases were more likely to have diabetes (OR 2.90, CI 1.59-5.29) and be on antihypertensive therapy (OR 1.65, CI 1.14-2.40, p=0.009) up to 20 years prior to diagnosis. Increasing HDLc was associated with a lower risk of CKD (OR 0.84, CI 0.81-0.97 per 10mg/dl). Conclusions: As many as 30 years prior to diagnosis, risk factors for CKD are identifiable. In particular, modifiable risk factors such as obesity, hypertension and dyslipidemia are present early in the course of the disease. These findings demonstrate the importance of early identification of risk factors in patients at risk of CKD through a life-course approach.

Objective: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a common health problem worldwide. According to third national health and nutrition examination survey criteria, about 47 million people have MetS. It is defined as having three or more of the following five risk factors including abdominal obesity, increased triglyceride levels, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol level, elevated blood pressure, and elevated fasting glucose levels. These components of MetS are major risk factors for the development of chronic kidney disease (CKD) also. CKD is a major public problem and it is a major risk factor for the development of cardiovascular disease. Hence, the aim of the current study was to evaluate the association between MetS and CKD.Methods: A total of 50 patients reporting to Saveetha Dental College and Hospitals were enrolled into the study which includes 25 patients with MetS and 25 healthy individuals. 5 mL of venous blood was collected and centrifuged. Then, it is analyzed for fasting blood sugar (FBS), serum triglycerides, serum urea, and creatinine using the standard kit method. The data obtained were subjected to statistical analysis using the SPSS software.Results: The mean body mass index, FBS, serum creatinine, and triglyceride levels were higher in MetS patients in comparison to healthy individuals. The mean body mass index (BMI), FBS, serum urea, serum creatinine, and triglyceride levels in the control group and MetS group were 27.75±3.67, 84.8±12.5, 17.52±5.2, 0.91±0.17, and 96.5±60.13 and 35.14±4.25, 108.8±34.69, 21.4±5.9, 1.0±0.14, and 239.76±51.21, respectively. There was a significant difference in the mean BMI, FBS, urea, creatinine, and triglyceride levels of the above group.Conclusion: Serum urea and creatinine levels were significantly higher in MetS individuals. Hence, MetS could be a one of the risk factors for the development of CKD.

Purpose: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a severe complication in medical and surgical intensive care units accounting for a high morbidity and mortality. Incidence, risk factors, and prognostic impact of this deleterious condition are well established in this setting. Data concerning the neurocritically ill patients is scarce. Therefore, aim of this study was to determine the incidence of AKI and elucidate risk factors in this special population. Methods: Patients admitted to a specialized neurocritical care unit between 2005 and 2011 with a length of stay above 48 hours were analyzed retrospectively for incidence, cause, and outcome of AKI (AKI Network-stage ≥2). Results: The study population comprised 681 neurocritically ill patients from a mixed neurosurgical and neurological intensive care unit. The prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) was 8.4% (57/681). Overall incidence of AKI was 11.6% with 36 (45.6%) patients developing dialysis-requiring AKI. Sepsis was the main cause of AKI in nearly 50% of patients. Acute kidney injury and renal replacement therapy are independent predictors of worse outcome (hazard ratio [HR]: 3.704; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.867-7.350; P < .001; and HR: 2.848; CI: 1.301-6.325; P = .009). Chronic kidney disease was the strongest independent risk factor (odds ratio: 12.473; CI: 5.944-26.172; P < .001), whereas surgical intervention or contrast agents were not associated with AKI. Conclusions: Acute kidney injury in neurocritical care has a high incidence and is a crucial risk factor for mortality independently of the underlying neurocritical condition. Sepsis is the main cause of AKI in this setting. Therefore, careful prevention of infectious complications and considering CKD in treatment decisions may lower the incidence of AKI and hereby improve outcome in neurocritical care.

Prevalence and Risk Factors of Arterio-Venous Fistula Obstruction on Patient with Chronic Kidney Disease Ismail MT1, Hariawan H1, Wardhani Y2, Puspitasari M2, Artayasa IPA1, Ramadhan G1, Tarigan T1, Triatmaja R1   1Department of Cardiology and Vascular Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Gadjah Mada, Yogyakarta, 55284, Indonesia 2Department of Internal Medicine Faculty of Medicine Universitas Gadjah Mada-RSUP Dr. Sardjito Yogyakarta Indonesia   ABSTRACT Aim: AV fistula obstruction has become one of the main vascular access complications in patients undergoing haemodialysis. This complications have significant impacts on the morbidity and mortality of dialysis patients while also leading to higher medical costs. Clinical monitoring has been routinely used for early detection of AV fistula stenosis and obstruction, however screening with Doppler ultrasound is still not a routine recommendation. This study aims to know prevalence and risk factors of AV Fistula obstruction detected by Duplex ultrasound examination.   Methods: This study was a hospital-based descriptive analytic study with cross sectional design conducted at the haemodialysis center of National General Hospital Dr. Sardjito, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Patient demographic and clinical risk factor were recorded using direct interview. AV fistula obstruction were assessed using Duplex ultrasound by professional sonographer.   Results: Seventy four (74) patients are using AV fistula as entry access for hemodialysis in RSUP dr. Sardjito. It is consist of 39 male (53%) and 35 Female (47%). The mean age of patients is 50 years old. Surveillance using Doppler ultrasound found 20 patients (27%) have stenotic AV Fistula. Smoking habits (OR 5.37, 95% CI, 1.760 - 16.431, p=0.002) and diabetes mellitus (OR 5.00, 95% CI, 1.631 – 15.503, p=0.004) increase risk for having stenotic AV fistula. Only 4 patient (20 %) of all 20 patient with stenotic AV fistula were symptomatic, and needed for further vascular intervention   Conclusion: Prevalence of AV fistula obstruction detected by Doppler ultrasound was 27% of all AV fistula patient with only 5% had symptomatic AV fistula failure. Smoking habits and diabetes mellitus are important risk factor for AV fistula obstruction. Asymptomatic AV fistula obstruction often goes undetected by clinical monitoring that can increase of risk of symptomatic AV fistula obstruction in the future. The further study is needed to determine level recommendation of routine AV fistula surveillance with Doppler Ultrasound.   Key words: AV Fistula obstruction, CKD, Doppler ultrasound surveillance, Risk factors, Prevalence

Objectives: Adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD) carry an extraordinarily excess risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD). The present study aimed to test two hypotheses: (1) Non-Hispanic black (NHB) with CKD have significantly higher CVD risk profiles than non-Hispanic white (NHW). (2) This difference significantly contributes to the excess risk of CVD in NHB versus NHW. Methods: A total of 3,939 participants aged 21-74 years old in the baseline Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort Study, a multiethnic population-based study supported by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, were analyzed. CKD was classified using estimate glomerular filtration rate. A sum weighted CVDRisk score was developed from multiple CVD risk factors. Differences in CVDRisk score by race/ethnicity were tested using quantile regression (QR), a novel data mining approach to identify distribution of risk factors and outcomes. Results: The prevalence of CVD was 30.7 and 38.2% in NHW and NHB with CKD (p<0.001). The means (SD) of CVDRisk score were 12.6 (5.7) in NHW and 14.6 (6.4) in NHB (p<0.001). QR analysis indicated that NHB had significantly higher CVDRisk score in all quantile (Qs) of CVDRisk score than NHW. This race/ethnicity difference was even worse among younger NHB (aged <65). An estimated 32% of the excess CVD prevalence for NHB versus NHW may be attributable to a higher CVDRisk score in those aged<65 years old. Conclusion: The study highlights an excess and disproportionate distribution of CVD risk factor profile in subjects with CKD for NHB versus NHW. An estimated one third of the excess CVD prevalence in younger NHB with CKD could be explained by their higher CVD risk factor profiles.

We aim to evaluate the development of peripheral occlusive artery disease (PAOD) in patients with migraine by using the National Health Insurance Research Database in Taiwan. A retrospective cohort study was conducted and individuals with diagnostic codes of migraine were enrolled in the study group after excluding those diagnosed with PAOD before the index date. Each subject with migraine was propensity-score matched to another non-migraine patient and the latter served as the control group. A total of 37,288 patients were finally enrolled in the groups. The primary outcome was set as the development of PAOD between the two groups while multiple possible risk factors, including demographic data and comorbidities, were analyzed via the Cox proportional hazards regression. There were 885 and 530 PAOD events in the study and control groups, and the study group had a significantly higher adjusted hazard ratio (1.65, 95% confidential interval: 1.48–1.84, p < 0.001), and the cumulative incidence also revealed a correlation between migraine and PAOD. Other potential risk factors related to the existence of PAOD include age, hypertension, chronic kidney disease, diabetes mellitus, coronary artery disease, stroke, and asthma. For individuals without certain systemic diseases including hypertension, chronic liver disease, chronic kidney disease, coronary artery disease, stroke, asthma, or heart failure, the hazard ratio of subsequent PAOD was significantly higher in the migraine patients than that in the non-migraine individuals (all p < 0.001). In conclusion, the presence of migraine is a significant risk factor for the development of subsequent PAOD.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) was recognized as universal health problem for population. It can result in a systemic review of epidemiology, etiology, risk factors, and treatment management was reporting the incidence of CKD about children, adult, and geriatric patients by using the research articles from 1982 to 2020. The object of study to find out a incidence about epidemiology, etiology, risk factor, and treatment management for all age groups with CKD patients in review articles. The discussion in this study systemic mini-review was about CKD in children, adult, and geriatric patients. In 2012, 2018 and 2019 epidemiology is mostly geriatrics are effected with CKD compared with children and adults but in 2016 children and geriatrics are equally effected with CKD. In 2017 to 2019 etiology is mostly geriatrics are effected with CKD  when compared with children and adults. From 2000 to 2010 and 2011 to 2020 risk factors are mostly children’s are effected with CKD having risk factors  to compare with adults and geriatrics. The treatment management from 1982 to 2020 the medications are intervented like radioactive iodine,  Azathioprine, methotrexate, lisinopril, hemodialysis,  methotrexate, and lisinopril for all age groups of CKD patients. The study was concluded that patients with CKD has increased the epidemiology, etiology, risk factor, and treatment management on children, adult, and geriatric patients with CKD. Future research should investigate adequate information about children, adults, and geriatric patients with CKD for better outcomes in further study.
