OBJECTIVE: To determine cut off value of procalciton (PCT) in aseptic end stage renal disease patients undergoing haemodialysis. BACKGROUND: Haemodialysisis considered as a proinflammatory state and therefore associated with release of inflammatory cytokines and acute phase reactant proteins. The conventional laboratory markers (C-reactive protein, erythrocyte sedimentation rate) are efficient tools for the diagnosis of infection in patients with normal kidney functions. However they can be nonspecifically elevated in patients on haemodialysis and only reflect inflammatory response not associated with infection. PCT is considered a very important biomarker in differentiating infections from inflammation. The study was undertaken to evaluate normal serum levels of PCT in patients undergoing HD.PATIENTS AND METHOD: The study included 82 end-stage renal failure patients without evidence of systemic or localized infection undergoing maintenance haemodialysis. RESULTS: In our study, the PCT concentrations showed a mean of .622ng/ml in patients on maintenance hemodialysis without signs of infection. CONCLUSION:The study suggests that serum PCT at a cutoff value of .62ng/ml should be considered normal in aseptic haemodialysis patients. KEYWORDS: Procalcitonin, haemodialysis, sepsis

Uremic pruritus is chronic itching that occurs in patients with advanced or end-stage renal disease. It is one of common symptoms in patients with end-stage renal disease with approximately 60–90% of patients on hemodialysis (HD) suffering from this problem. This study was designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of prescribing Gabapentin or Omega-3 alone or in combination for relieving uremic pruritus in Iraqi patients undergoing hemodialysis. The results showed that all the three involved regimens (gabapentin,omega-3,and the combination of both drugs) had significantly reduced the pruritus score. Furthermore,the combination was significantly superior to other regimens in reducing pruritus score,while no significant effect was observed by all the regimens on interleukin-6 or on parathyroid hormone serum levels. In Conclusion Gabapentin 100mg plus 1000mg omega-3 based fish oil capsules containing 120mg is superior to gabapentin 100mg capsule or 1g of omega-3 based fish oil capsule containing 120mg docosahexaenoic acid and 180mg ecosapentaenoic acid (each alone),in reducing pruritus score in a sample of Iraqi patients.

Regular Hemodialysis

Background : End stage renal disease patients who undergo hemodialysis therapy are the high-risk populations who are infected by hepatitis C virus. Some studies have been reported that hepcidin levels decreased in patients with chronic hepatitis C. Hepcidin serum concentrations were also reported to increase in patients with renal failure in the line with increased severity of renal failure, which can cause the accumulation of hepcidin which culminates in anemia because iron deficiency. This Study was to analyze the correlation of anemia and hepcidin serum levels in patients end stage renal disease who undergoing regular hemodialysis with chronic hepatitis C.Methods : This study was an analytic observational with cross sectional design which was conduted on 24 patients end stage renal disease (ESRD) with chronic hepatitis C and 24 patients  with ESRD without hepatitis who are undergoing regular hemodialysis theraphy in Haji Adam Malik Hospital, Medan in July – September 2016. All study subjects were examined for full blood count and hepcidin serum levels. The result of the iron status were recorded from the patient’s medical record.Result : In this study, the mean hemoglobin was 8,15±1,44 g/dL, mean hematocrit 25,42±4,53%, median hepcidin levels 29,75 (4,92-359,49) in the patients ESRD with chronic hepatitis C  and mean hemoglobin 8,21±1,50 g/dL, mean hematocrit 25,25±4,37%, median hepcidin levels 30,33 (11,65-141,53) in the patients ESRD without hepatitis. In Spearman’s rho test  was showed a positive correlation that significant between hepcidin and hemoglobin (r = 0,439, p = 0,032), hepcidin and hematocrit (r = 0,021, p = 0,024) in patients ESRD with chronic hepatitis C.Conclusion : This study showed there was a positive correlation between anemia and hepcidin serum levels in patients ESRD who undergoing regular hemodialysis with chronic hepatitis C.
