Insomnia Severity

AbstractThe prevalence of insomnia is greater in end-stage renal disease. The aim of our study was to determine the frequency of insomnia and subclinical insomnia in patients with various dialysis therapy and kidney transplant recipients, in order to assess the severity of insomnia and examine whether there is a difference in severity among groups. In cross-sectional study, we evaluated 120 patients with terminal renal failure. Based on therapy, patients were divided into four groups: hemodiafiltration, standard bicarbonate dialysis, peritoneal dialysis and kidney transplant recipients. The severity of insomnia was evaluated through the use of the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI). Most patients who reported any kind of insomnia problems with ISI were on conventional dialysis (80%), followed by hemodiafiltration (76.7%) and peritoneal dialysis (63.3%). Transplant recipients had least difficulties with insomnia (46.7%). Insomnia Severity Index showed that insomnia in end-stage renal patients is not very severe. Most of the patients had “no clinically significant insomnia”. Our findings indicate that patients on hemodiafiltration and transplant recipients have a significantly lower score on Insomnia Severity Index. Patients with end-stage renal disease have high frequency insomnia problems. However, our study shows that insomnia in these patients is not severe. Insomnia is the most frequent and severest in patients on standard bicarbonate dialysis.

Background/Aims: Few published data describe survival rates for pediatric end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. We aimed to describe one-year mortality rates for US pediatric ESRD patients over a 15-year period. Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, we used the US Renal Data System database to identify period-prevalent cohorts of patients aged younger than 19 for each year during the period 1995-2010. Yearly cohorts averaged approximately 1,200 maintenance dialysis patients (60% hemodialysis, 40% peritoneal dialysis) and 1,100 transplant recipients. Patients were followed for up to 1 year and censored at change in modality, loss to follow-up, or death. We calculated the unadjusted model-based mortality rates per time at risk, within each cohort year, by treatment modality (hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, transplant) and patient characteristics; percentage of deaths by cause; and overall adjusted odds of mortality by characteristics and modality. Results: Approximately 50% of patients were in the age group 15-18, 55% were male, and 45% were female. The most common causes of ESRD were congenital/reflux/obstructive causes (55%) and glomerulonephritis (30%). One-year mortality rates showed evidence of a decrease in the number of peritoneal dialysis patients (6.03 per 100 patient-years, 1995; 2.43, 2010; p = 0.0263). Mortality rates for transplant recipients (average 0.68 per 100 patient-years) were consistently lower than the rates for all dialysis patients (average 4.36 per 100 patient-years). Conclusions: One-year mortality rates differ by treatment modality in pediatric ESRD patients.

Abstract Background and Aims Glomerulonephritis (GN) is a major cause of end stage renal disease (ESRD)1. It represents the primary cause of end stage renal disease (ESRD) for 25% of the dialysis population1 and 45% of the transplant population. For patients with GN requiring renal replacement therapy, kidney transplantation is associated with superior outcomes compared with dialysis2. The possibility of recurrence of the original disease after transplantation was described in a seminal paper more than 40 years ago, and it is now clear that all forms of GN may recur after kidney transplantation.3 To study the recurrence of glomerulonephritis post-transplant in a tertiary care centre. Method 120 renal transplant recipients were analyzed from September 2015 to August 2019 at the Institute of Nephro-Urology, Bangalore. It was a retrospective analysis of data Results 120 adult patients underwent kidney transplantation, out of these 70 had GN as primary cause of kidney disease. 85.8% were males, 14.2 % females. 58.9 % were biopsy proven GN, remaining 41.1 % diagnosed based on history and clinical presentation. All but one patient had their first transplant. Out of these kidney transplant recipients 08 (11.4%) had recurrence of GN.  From these 4/08 was recurrent IgA N, 2/08 were PGNMID, 1/08 MGN, 1/08 aHUS. Graft loss due to recurrent GN was seen in 1/08 patients (12.5%). Conclusion Our study showed that 11.4 % of kidney transplant recipients with GN as their cause of ESRD had recurrent GN post kidney transplantation. IgAN was the most type of GN that recurred most frequently followed by PGNMID. Recurrence of GN was in par with other studies and did not affect graft survival

Reversible Encephalopathy

ABSTRACTWe report a patient with end-stage renal disease on peritoneal dialysis, who developed encephalopathy after receiving a few doses of cefepime. He recovered clinically and electroencephalographically after having discontinued the culprit agent and undergone hemodialysis. This case highlights the importance of promptly recognizing this reversible encephalopathy, which can lead to the avoidance of unnecessary workup, reduce the length of hospital stay, and thereby improve the patients’ outcome.
