Prevalence Of Depression

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients are at high risk of depressive disorders because of considerable psychological stress due to physical and social changes brought on by disease. The aim of this study is to assess the prevalence of depression in patients with CKD and the factors affecting it at a public tertiary care hospital. Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out at the renal clinic of a tertiary care hospital. Data on 629 patients diagnosed with CKD from September 2014 to April 2016 was obtained. Nine-item Patient Health Questionnaire from PRIME-MD was used to assess the depression. Results: Of all the patients, 44.7% had depression. Mild depression was found to affect 28.9% of the patients followed by moderate depression and severe depression (15.4% and 0.4%, respectively). According to multiple logistic regression, the occurrence of depression was significantly higher with age below 60 years [odds ratio (OR) 1.5, 0.9–2.7; P<0.05], male gender (OR 1.4, 1.0–3.1; P<0.05), no treatment funding (OR 2.7, 1.3–4.6; P<0.05), education less than grade 12 (OR 1.3, 1.3–3.2; P<0.05), monthly income ≤INR 20,000 (OR 1.6, 1.1–3.6; P<0.05), CKD stage V (OR 1.4 1.0– 2.9; P <0.05), Patients on hemodialysis (HD) (OR 2.5, 1.2–4.5; P<0.05), comorbidities ≥3 (OR 1.6, 1.3–3.0; P<0.05), overweight (OR 2.4, 1.3–2.9; P<0.05), and duration of CKD >2 (OR 2.4, 1.4–4.4; P<0.05). Conclusion: About 44.7% of the patients were found to have depression. Patients’ age, gender, body mass index, treatment funding, education status, income, CKD duration and stage, HD status, and comorbidities were found to be significant factors affecting depression.

Background: Secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) is one of the less recognized complications in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The prevalence of SHPT in various stages of CKD was evaluated by measuring the levels of intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH).Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out in 100 CKD patients. Serum creatinine, calcium, phosphorous and iPTH levels were measured and statistical analysis was carried out using the SPSS software (IBM, NY, USA).Results: Among the 100 participants, the mean age (SD) was 59.3 (7.8) years. In our study population, 52% were men and the rest were females. Hypertension (75%) was the most common chronic morbidity. Prevalence of hyperparathyroidism among chronic kidney disease patients was 22% (95% CI: 14.7-30.9%). The prevalence of secondary hyperparathyroidism among dialysis and non-dialysis patients were 30% and 14% respectively which was statistically significant.Conclusions: SHPT is an important complication which is often underdiagnosed. Secondary hyperparathyroidism starts to develop when eGFR falls below 60ml/min. PTH levels starts to rise as the disease progress. Hence it is important for the treating physicians to monitor the PTH levels early in the course of CKD to prevent and treat bone mineral disease.

Background: Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) is common and higher in prevalence in patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). To find out the frequency and clinicobacteriological pattern of UTI in CKD patients. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study was done on 1000 of CKD patients attending Nephrology Department of Chattogram Medical College Hospital (CMCH) a tertiary level hospital in Bangladesh during January to December, 2017. Cleancatch midstream urine samples were collected from study populations irrespective of symptoms. Macroscopic and microscopic examinations were done. Urine samples were then inoculated in Blood agar and Mac’Conkey agar and incubated aerobically at 37 °C for 18-24 hours. Microscopic observations and conventional biochemical tests were done to identify the isolated organisms. Significant growth of organisms in urine was defined as UTI. The isolated organisms were tested for antimicrobial susceptibility by using modified Kirby Bauer technique. Results: The prevalence of UTI was 61.8%. with significant asymptomatic UTI for 28%. Gram-negative organisms were most frequent 564 (93%) with predominant Escherichia coli 399 (64%) followed by Klebsiella 113(18%) and Pseudomonas 39(6%). Among Gram positive isolates, Staphylococcus (6%) was the dominant organism isolated. Regarding antibiotic susceptibility, Gram-negative microorganisms were found to be most sensitive to carbapenem and amikacin whereas Gram-positive microorganisms were most sensitive towards carbapenem, colistin and linezolid. Conclusion: In CKD patients, asymptomatic UTI was detected significantly. E.coli was found to be predominant organisms and resistant towards most of the studied common antibiotics.
