Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have increased risk of cardiovascular events. However, the association of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) in non-diabetic CKD patients is under-investigated. This prospective study was conducted at University Clinical Hospital Mostar over a 4-year period and enrolled a total of 100 patients with stage 2 and 4 CKD (50 patients per group). Stage 4 CKD group had significantly higher baseline CIMT values (1.13 ± 0.25 vs. 0.74 ± 0.03 mm, P < 0.001), and more atherosclerotic plaques at the study onset (13 (26%) vs. 0 (0%), P < 0.001) compared to stage 2 CKD. A statistically significant 4-year increase in GFR (coefficient of 2.51, 3.25, 2.71 and 1.50 for 1-year, 2-year, 3-year and 4-year follow-up, respectively, P < 0.05) with non-significant CIMT alterations has been observed in stage 2 CKD. Furthermore, linear mixed effects analysis revealed significant decrease in GFR (coefficient of −6.69, −5.12, −3.18 and −1.77 for 1-year, 2-year, 3-year and 4-year follow-up, respectively, P < 0.001) with increase in CIMT (coefficient of 0.20, 0.14, 0.07 and 0.03 for 1-year, 2-year, 3-year and 4-year follow-up, respectively, P < 0.001) in stage 4 CKD. GFR and CIMT showed significant negative correlation in both CKD groups during all follow-up phases (P < 0.001). Furthermore, multiple linear regression analysis revealed significant independent prediction of CIMT by baseline GFR (B = −0.85, P < 0.001), while there was no significant prediction of CIMT with other covariates. In conclusion, this study demonstrates significant association of GFR and CIMT in non-diabetic stage 2 and stage 4 CKD during the 4-year follow-up.

AbstractObesity and chronic kidney disease are epidemic size. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) appears to be more common in obese, although interrelation is not supported by all authors.Aim: The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of overweight and obesity on glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and other risk factors for CKD.Methods: This is a cross-sectional study on 627 patients admitted in a Nephrology Department between January 2007 - December 2011. Patients were divided according to eGFR in a CKD group and a non-CKD group. Patients were divided based on BMI in: normal (<25 kg/m2), overweight (≥ 25 kg/m2 and ≤30 kg/m2) and obese (>30 kg/m2). Demographical, clinical and laboratory data (serum creatinine, lipid parameters, etc) were used for the statistical analysis. The relationship between BMI (as a marker of obesity and overweight), glomerular filtration rate and other possible risk factors for chronic kidney disease was studied.Results: 43.70% patients were obese and 33.17% overweight. CKD prevalence was 58.69%. Logistic regression analysis showed that systolic blood pressure was the main determinant of CKD in our patients.Conclusion: Lack of association between BMI and CKD was demonstrated in our study.

Abstract Primary Subject area Nephrology Background Children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) are at risk for acute kidney injury (AKI) secondary to diabetic ketoacidosis, as well as chronic kidney disease (CKD) from diabetic nephropathy. Objectives The primary objective of this study was to assess the prevalence of abnormalities in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in children with T1D. As a secondary objective, we sought to explore the relationship between clinical characteristics and trends in eGFR. Design/Methods This ambispective cohort study involved children aged 18 years or younger with T1D (n = 420), followed in the diabetes clinic at British Columbia Children’s Hospital (BCCH), the tertiary pediatric hospital in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Data was collected from the BCCH paper and electronic health records. CKD was defined as eGFR less than 60 mL/min/1.73 m2. Being at risk of CKD was defined as having a mildly decreased eGFR (60 to &lt; 90 mL/min/1.73 m2) and/or hyperfiltration (eGFR ≥140 mL/min/1.73 m2). eGFR was calculated using the modified Schwartz formula (36.5 x height in cm / serum creatinine in umol/L). Linear regression analysis was used to describe the relationship between eGFR and duration of T1D. Results Of the 420 participants, 225 (54%) were male, with a median age at T1D diagnosis of 6.1 years and T1D duration of 4.8 years (range &lt; 1.0-15.0 years). One-hundred and eighty-six (44%) children were hospitalized for DKA, of which 89 (48%) developed AKI. No participants had an eGFR &lt; 60 mL/min/1.73 m2, and 317 (76%) had normal renal function. Fifty-one participants (12%) had an eGFR &lt; 90 mL/min/1.73 m2, and 52 (12%) demonstrated hyperfiltration. When analyzed as a cohort cross-sectionally based on duration of T1D, there was a significant linear decline in eGFR of 1.4 ml/min/1.73 m2 per year (95% CI -1.95, -0.87 mL/min/1.73 m2). Conclusion In a large group of pediatric patients with type 1 diabetes, 24% were at risk for chronic kidney disease based on a mildly decreased GFR and/or hyperfiltration. The pattern of eGFR decline over time is concerning and relevant, as this cohort is at risk for CKD secondary to diabetic kidney disease. Strategies are needed to improve the follow-up and management of early CKD in children with type 1 diabetes to maintain their renal function into adulthood, and more studies are needed to quantify further change in eGFR in the young adult population.

Abstract. Obesity is the big worldwide healthy problem. Obesity itself is a complex disorder of appetite regulation and energy metabolism are controlled by specific biological factors. Individual with obesity will increase the risk of cardiometabolic syndrome, type-2 diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, coronary heart disease, osteoarthritis, stroke, gallblader disease, obstructive sleep apnea, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), chronic kidney disease, and some kind of cancer (endometrial, breast, and colon). The relationship between obesity and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are mediated through several biological mechanism, including hormonal factors, inflammation, oxidative stress, and endothelial dysfunction.The purpose of this research is to know the relationship between body mass index with glomerular filtration rate. This research uses analytic methods to observational cross-sectional stdy design. Data collected from measurements of weight and height, plasma creatinine and by using the Cockroft-Gault formula.Result from the study conducted on 29 people sample consisted of 18 men and 11 women, by using the pearson correlation test can be seen a strong correlation between body mass index with glomerular filtration rate with p=0,000 (p<0,01). Conclusion: body mass index has a relationship (correlation) or significantly stronger with glomerular filtration rate Key word: obesity, glomerular filtration rate, chronic kidney disease (CKD)  Abstrak.Obesitas merupakan masalah kesehatan di seluruh dunia.

Introduction: Ultrasound measurements of the intima media thickness (IMT) in the carotid arteries is a strong predictor for cardiovascular events both in the general and diseased population. Materials & Methods: This cross-sectional analytic study was conducted to observe correlation of CIMT with age, body mass index (BMI) and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in chronic kidney disease (CKD). The study was done in Department of Nephrology, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Dhaka, Bangladesh, on 80 chronic kidney disease patients, from July 2014 to June 2015. All the biochemical parameters were measured according to the standard laboratory techniques. Body mass index (BMI) was calculated by person’s body weight divided by height. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was calculated using the modification of diet in renal disease (MDRD) formula. CIMT measurement was done by duplex study of carotid vessels through high resolution B-mode ultrasound. Results: Mean age of the patients was 36.1±9.5 years. 20 (25%), 26 (32.5%) and 34 (42.5%) patients were in CKD stage 3, 4 and 5 respectively. Age, serum creatinine and GFR showed statistically significant difference among stage 3, 4 and 5 CKD patients (p<0.001). However, no difference was evident in BMI and mean CIMT among stage 3, 4 and 5 CKD patients. Significant positive correlations were found between age and CIMT (r=+0.332; p=0.003) and BMI and CIMT (r=+0.294; p=0.008). However, no significant correlation was evident with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and CIMT (r=–0.181; p=0.109). Conclusion: Age, serum creatinine and estimated glomerular filtration rate showed statistically significant difference among different stages of CKD patients (stage 3, 4 and 5). There were significant positive correlations found in between age and CIMT as well as BMI and CIMT in chronic kidney disease patients, with an exception to GFR and CIMT.
