Comparison of Platelet Levels between Preeclampsia and Eclampsia Patients at Wiyung Sejahtera Hospital, Surabaya

Background: Indonesia is a developing country with a high maternal mortality rate (MMR) and perinatal mortality, the third highest in ASEAN and the second highest in the South East Asian Nation Regional Organization. In pregnancy hypertension has been proven that oxidants, especially if increased fat peroxide will damage endothelial cells called endothelial dysfunction. Vasospasm that occurs also induces platelet integration and endothelial damage which adds to the contribution in maintaining platelet dysfunction and triggering the use of platelets. Thrombocytopenia is the most important sign of the severity of preeclampsia.Objective: to determine the comparison of platelet levels in patients with preeclampsia with eclampsia.Methode: This study was observational cross sectional method. The sample in this study was a total sampling, using purposive sampling of patients with preeclampsia and eclampsia at the Wiyung Sejahtera Hospital in January-December 2019. The instrument used was using secondary data of medical records of patients.Results: Patients with preeclampsia have a minimum platelet level of 301,000/mm3, a maximum of 415,000/mm3, and an average of 351,733.33/mm3 with a standard deviation of 33,552.66/mm3. Patients with eclampsia have a minimum platelet level of 122,000/mm3, a maximum of 281,000/mm3, and an average of 209,200/mm3 with a standard deviation of 42,465.45/mm3. There are significant differences in platelet levels of patients with preeclampsia with eclampsia(p <0.05)..Conclusion: there is a significant difference between the platelet levels of patients with preeclampsia and eclampsia.

Aim: Atherosclerosis involves vascular endothelial damage and lipid metabolism disorder, which is closely related to the occurrence and development of diabetic kidney disease (DKD). However, studies on non-high albuminuria DKD (NHADKD) with an albumin to creatinine ratio (ACR) <30 mg/g are rare. This study is to investigate the relationship between atherogenic factors and the occurrence of NHADKD. Methods: Serum lipid indicators, lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lip-PLA2) and homocysteine levels were measured in 1116 subjects to analyze their relationship with NHADKD. Results: Among all subjects, Lip-PLA2 had the closest but relatively weak correlation with ACR ( r = 0.297, p < 0.001) and only homocysteine was moderately correlated with eGFR ( r = −0.465, p < 0.001). However, in patients with NHADKD, these atherosclerotic factors were weakly correlated or uncorrelated with eGFR (max. | r| = 0.247). Stratified risk analysis showed that when ACR was <10 mg/g, homocysteine [OR = 6.97(4.07–11.95)], total cholesterol (total-Chol) [OR = 6.04(3.03–12.04)], and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-Chol) [OR = 5.09(2.99–8.64)] were risk factors for NHADKD. There was no significant difference of OR between these three factors ( Z = 0.430–1.044, all p > 0.05). When ACR was ⩾10mg/g, homocysteine [OR = 17.26(9.67–30.82)] and total-Chol [OR = 5.63(2.95–10.76)] were risk factors for NHADKD, and ORhomocysteine was significantly higher than ORtotal-Chol ( Z = 3.023, p < 0.05). Conclusions: The occurrence of NHADKD may be related to the levels of homocysteine, total-Chol, HDL-Chol, and Lip-PLA2 in blood. Among them, homocysteine may be most closely related to NHADKD.

Abstract Background: Formerly, preeclampsia was only diagnosed if high blood pressure and proteinuria were present in a gravid woman at or past 20 gestation weeks. Although it is possible to have preeclampsia yet never have proteinuria, the literature on how common and factors associated with non-proteinuric preeclampsia as well as whether the frequency of end-organ dysfunction among women with non-proteinuric differs from those with proteinuric pre-eclampsia is scant.Objectives: To determine the prevalence of, factors associated with non-proteinuric preeclampsia, and compare the frequency of end-organ dysfunction between women with non-proteinuric and proteinuric preeclampsia.Methods: Between November 2019 and May 2020, women with pre-eclampsia were consecutively enrolled in a cross-sectional study at Mbarara Regional Referral Hospital. We interviewed all pregnant women ≥20 gestation weeks presenting with hypertension ≥140/90mmHg and recorded their socio-demographic, medical, and obstetric characteristics. We excluded women with chronic hypertension and pregnancy hypertension. We measured bedside proteinuria on clean-catch urine, complete blood count, and renal function and liver enzyme tests. Pre-eclampsia was defined as hypertension plus any feature of severity including <100,000 platelets/ul, creatinine >1.1g/dl, and liver transaminases ≥ twice upper normal limit with or without proteinuria. We computed the proportion of total participants with non-proteinuric pre-eclampsia at ≤+2 urine dipstick cut-off, determined the factors associated with non-proteinuric preeclampsia using logistic regression; and used Chi-square test to compare the frequency of end-organ dysfunction between non-proteinuric preeclampsia and proteinuric groups.Results: We enrolled 134 of the screened 136 participants. Their mean age was 26.9 (SD±7.1) years and 51.5% were primigravid. The prevalence of non-proteinuric preeclampsia was 24.6% (95% CI: 17.9-32.7). Primigravidity (aOR 2.70 95%CI:1.09-6.72, p=0.032) was the factor independently associated with non-proteinuric pre-eclampsia. There was a non-significant difference in the frequency of end-organ dysfunction in women with non-proteinuric and proteinuric pre-eclampsia, p=0.309.Conclusion: Non-proteinuric preeclampsia is common, especially among primigravidae. End-organ dysfunction occurs similarly in women with non-proteinuric and proteinuric preeclampsia. Obstetrics care providers should emphasize laboratory testing, beyond proteinuria, among all women with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy to optimally diagnose and manage non-proteinuric preeclampsia.

Nevus pigmentosus (NP) merupakan lesi melanositik jinak yang paling umum, puncaknya pada usia 25 sampai 26 tahun. Faktor yang memengaruhinya di antaranya penuaan, pubertas, kehamilan, penggunaan kortikosteroid sistemik, faktor genetik, lingkungan, usia, dan jenis kelamin. Tujuan penelitian ini mengetahui karakteristik pasien NP berdasar atas gambaran histopatologi di Rumah Sakit Al-Islam Bandung. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif cross-sectional menggunakan metode pengambilan sampel berupa total sampling. Data yang digunakan berupa data sekunder dari rekam medis periode 2012−2017 dan didapatkan data berjumlah 48 rekam medis. Pengolahan data dilakukan menggunakan program Microsoft Exel tahun 2011. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan frekuensi tertinggi NP terdapat pada usia 25−45 tahun sebanyak 23 kasus (48%), NP lebih sering terjadi pada perempuan dibanding dengan laki-laki, nevus intradermal dengan jumlah 38 kasus (79%), dan regio kepala dengan frekuensi 39 kasus (81%). Perkembangan NP pada usia dewasa dapat disebabkan oleh beberapa kemungkinan di antaranya paparan sinar matahari, sering melakukan aktivitas di luar lingkungan, dan kurang penggunaan sunblock. Efek paparan sinar matahari secara langsung dapat menyebabkan proses melanogensis melalui aktivasi tirosinase akibat teraktivasinya protein kinase C. Simpulan penelitian ini menunjukkan frekuensi tertinggi NP terdapat pada usia 25−45 tahun dengan perbandingan perempuan lebih banyak dibanding laki-laki, serta gambaran histopatologi yang terbanyak adalah nevus intradermal yang berlokasi di regio kepala. THE CHARACTERISTIC OF NEVUS PIGMENTOSUS BASED ON HISTOPATOLOGICAL FEATURES IN AL-ISLAM HOSPITAL BANDUNGNevus pigmentosus (NP) is the most common benign melanocytic lesion and peak at 25 to 26 years of age. The factors that influence NP is included aging, puberty, pregnancy, the used of systemic corticosteroid, genetic factors, environment, age, and gender. The purpose of this study was to describe the characteristics of NP patients based on histopathological features at Al-Islam Hospital Bandung. This study used a cross-sectional descriptive method using a total sampling method to collect the samples. The data used in this study is a secondary data from medical records 2012−2017 and obtained 48 medical records. Data processed by using the Microsoft Excel program 2011. The results showed that the highest frequency of NP occurred at the age of 25−45 years as many as 23 cases (48%), NP is more common in women rather than men, nevus intradermal with 38 cases (79%), and the head region with a frequency of 39 cases (81%). The progression of NP in adult can be caused by several possibilities including sun exposure, frequent activities outside the environment and lack use of sunblock. The effects of direct sunlight exposure can cause the melanogenesis process through activation of tyrosinase due to activation of protein kinase C. The conclusions in this study showed that the highest frequency of NP is found at the age of 25−45 years old with a ratio of women is more than men, and the highest number of the histopathological features is intradermal nevus located in the head region.
