Reticulocyte hemoglobin equivalent (RET-He) represents hemoglobin content in reticulocyte. Reticulocyte hemoglobin equivalent test can be used to asses iron status of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Iron deficiency happens in 40% CKD and could lead to anemia manifestation. Level of RET-He gives real-time assesment of iron availability for hemoglobin production and the level will getting lower when iron storage for erythropoiesis decreasing. Reticulocyte hemoglobin equivalent is more stabil than feritin and transferin saturation in assessing iron status. Aim of this study is to determine RET-He level in patients with CKD stage IV and V. This study is  a cross sectional descripstive study. Subjects were 96 CKD stage IV and V patients that met inclusion and exclusion criterias. Subjects conducted blood tests at Central Laboratory Installation Dr. M. Djamil Hospital Padang from July to September 2020. Examination of RET-He level was analyzed by Sysmex XN-1000 flowcytometry fluorescense method. Data was presented in frequency distribution table. The RET-He level below cutoff (<29,2 pg) indicates the need for iron suplementation therapy for CKD stage IV and V patients. Samples with RET-He level below cutoff were 48 (50%) and 48 (50%) were above cutoff.

Abstract Background Anemia is a severe complication of chronic kidney disease (CKD) that is seen in more than 80% of patients with impaired renal function. Hepcidin, an acute phase reactant protein produced in the liver, is a key regulator of iron homeostasis. Aim of the Work to assess hepcidin level in 45 non-dialysis patients (CKD stage IV and V with negative virology) and its relation to iron parameters. Patients and Methods A cross sectional study was conducted at Nasser Institute for Treatment and Research on 45 patients with chronic kidney disease stage IV and V. All patients included in this study were subjected to the following: Careful history taking, full clinical examination and proper laboratory investigations. Results A statistically significant difference was found between CKD stage 4 and stage 5 according to Hb., iron, TIBC, Frerretin, serum and CRP. Also, there was a significant positive correlation of serum hepcidin with serum ferretin and hsCRP, while Hb and iron were significantly negatively correlated with hepcidin. We found statistically significant decrease in Hb level, serum Iron level, and TIBC in CKD stage 5 less than stage 4. We found statistically significant increase in Hepcidin level, serum ferritin, and hsCRP in CKD stage 5 more than stage 4. We found statistically significant Positive correlation between serum hepcidin with serum ferretin among patients with CKD stage 4 and 5. We found statistically significant Positive correlation between serum hepcidin with hsCRP among patients with CKD stage 4 and 5. We found statistically significant negative correlation between serum hepcidin with Hb among patients with CKD stage 4 and 5. A statistically significant Positive correlation between serum hepcidin with serum Iron among patients with CKD stage 4 and 5. Also we reported a statistically non-significant negative correlation between serum hepcidin and TIBC. Conclusion Elevated hepcidin can predict the need for parenteral iron to overcome hepcidin-mediated iron-restricted erythropoiesis and need for relatively higher rhEPO doses to suppress hepcidin in CKD patients with negative viral markers.

Abstract: Calcium is the largest mineral in the body and is necessary in most biological processes. The body's calcium levels are influenced by a variety of renal disorders, one of which is chronic kidney disease. Chronic kidney disease is a pathophysiological process with diverse etiology, resulting in a progressive decline in renal function, and generally end up with kidney failure (stage 5 / end stage). This study aims to describe the levels of calcium in patients with non dialysis stage 5 chronic kidney disease. The method used in this study was a descriptive study conducted from December 2015-January 2016 at two hospitals, Prof. Dr. R. D Kandou hospital and Advent Teling hospital in Manado. The samples were blood samples of all patients with non-dialysis CKD stage 5 in the period and criteria set determined by non-probability sampling types consecutive sampling. Examination serum calcium using O-Cresolphthalein Complexon method. The result obtained 22 (62.9%) were decreased calcium levels (hypocalcemia), 12 (34.3%) calcium levels nomal and 1 (2.9%) with increased levels of calcium (hypercalcemia). The results of this study concluded that most of the non-dyalisis stage 5 chronic kidney disease patients (62,9%) were decline in calcium levels.Keywords: calcium, chronic kidney disease stage 5, non dialysisAbstrak: Kalsium sangat penting karena merupakan mineral terbanyak dalam tubuh dan diperlukan pada sebagian besar proses biologis.

Background Real-life data on the predialysis management of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is scarce. We aimed to investigate the current clinical practice and compliance among nephrologists with KDIGO CKD mineral bone disorders (MBD) guidelines. Methods We performed a multicenter cross-sectional study. We recruited stage 3-5 non-dialysis (ND) CKD patients and recorded data related to CKD MBD from two consecutive outpatient clinical visits apart 3 to 6 months. We calculated therapeutic inertia for hyperphosphatemia, hypocalcemia, hyperparathyroidism, and hypovitaminosis D and overtreatment for hypophosphatemia, hypercalcemia, hypoparathyroidism, and hypervitaminosis D. Results We examined a total of 302 patients (male: 48.7%, median age: 67 years). The persistence of low 25-OH vitamin D levels (61.7%) was the most common laboratory abnormality related to CKD-MBD, followed by hyperparathyroidism (14.8%), hyperphosphatemia (7.9%), and hypocalcemia (0.0%). According to our results, therapeutic inertia seems to be a more common problem than overtreatment for all the CKD-MBD laboratory parameters that we examined. Therapeutic inertia frequency was highest for hypovitaminosis D (81.1%), followed by hypocalcemia (75.0%), hyperparathyroidism (59.0%), and hyperphosphatemia (30.4%), respectively. Conclusion We found that CKD-MBD is not optimally managed in CKD stage 3-5 ND patients. Clinicians should have an active attitude regarding the correction of MBD even at the earlier stages of CKD.

Abstract Background Anemia is a severe complication of chronic kidney disease (CKD) that is seen in more than 80% of patients with impaired renal function. Although there are many mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of anemia of renal disease, the primary cause is the inadequate production of erythropoietin by the damaged kidneys. Aim of the work to assess hepcidin level in non dialysis patients (CKD stage 4 &5) treated from Hepatitis C virus and its relation to iron parameters. Patients and Methods This study was conducted on 20 CKD patients (stage 4 and 5) treated from hepatitis C virus. All candidates included in this study subjected to careful history taking, full clinical examination and investigations (including complete blood count, renal chemistry, HCVAb, serum iron, total iron binding capacity, TSAT%, ferritin and hsCRP. Serum hepcidin was analyzed by ELISA technique. Results Serum hepcidin was 26.35±7.26; 40% in stage III, 37.8% in stage IV and 22.2% in stage V. There was statistically significant difference between GFR stages according to Hb., Drug intake ACE inhibitor/ARB, Plt., Creatinine, BUN, Iron, TIBC, Ferritin, T SAT%, CRP and Serum Hepcidin. We showed significant correlations between serum hepcidin and TIC, Iron, TIBC, Ferritin and TSAT%. Conclusion Median hepcidin value is elevated in nondialysis CKD patients due to increased inflammation and decreased clearance of hepcidin. Furthermore, iron status modifies serum hepcidin level and its association with Hb. Increased hepcidin level leads to iron-restricted erythropoiesis and recombinant human EPO (rhEPO) resistance by inhibiting iron absorption from gut and iron recycling from macrophages. Hence, elevated hepcidin can predict need for parenteral iron to overcome hepcidin-mediated iron-restricted erythropoiesis and need for relatively higher rhEPO doses to suppress hepcidin.

To evaluate the factors associated with functional capacity in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). All patients were submitted to six-minute walk test (6MWT), 10-repetition sit-to-stand test (STS-10) and SF-36 health-related quality of life questionnaire (HRQoL). Patients with functional capacity ≥80% exhibited higher education level, family income, body mass index, estimated glomerular filtration rate, and lower age and STS-10 time. Multiple linear regression showed that gender, age, family income, chronic kidney disease stage, STS-10 time, and physical component summary of HRQoL were significantly associated with the 6MWT distance. Functional capacity was significantly associated with gender, age, family income, CKD stage, STS-10 time, and physical component of HRQoL. The progression of CKD has an impact on the decrease in functional capacity in these patients.

We report a child with Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome (HPS) and chronic kidney disease (stage II) with histological diagnosis of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). A 15-year-old male of Puerto Rico ancestry with history of HPS, hypertension (HTN), asthma, obesity, and chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage II presented with new-onset proteinuria without edema. His blood pressure had been controlled, serum creatinine had been 0.9–1.4 mg/dL, and first morning urine protein/creatinine ratio (UPC) ranged from 0.2 to 0.38. Due to persistent nonorthostatic proteinuria with CKD, renal biopsy was performed and FSGS (not otherwise specified) with chronic diffuse tubulopathy (tubular cytoplasmic droplets) and acute tubular injury was reported. Ceroid-like material is known to infiltrate tissues (i.e., lungs, colon, and kidney) in HPS, but the reason for the renal insufficiency is unknown. Nonspecific kidney disease and in one adult case IgA nephropathy with ANCA-positive glomerulonephritis have previously been reported in patients with Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome. To our knowledge, we report the first pediatric renal pathology case of HPS associated with CKD. This paper discusses presentation and management of renal disease in HPS.

Background: Pruritus is a common manifestation in patients on hemodialysis. The aim of this study is to determine the distribution of pruritus and evaluate the association between pruritus and serum parathormone levels in chronic kidney disease patients on maintenance haemodialysis. Methods:This analytic, descriptive, cross-sectional study was performed over 191 patients of maintenance haemodialysis in 2014. Information related to the patients including age, gender, residence, pruritus was extracted from questionnaires. Serum levels of intact parathormone were measured & data were analyzed. Results: 68% of the patients had pruritus. The Mean ± SD of serum parathormone was 53.25±7.96 pg/ml in patients with pruritus and 81.91±9.34 pg/ml in patients without pruritus. Our study showed that most patients with pruritus had normal serum parathormone levels and no significant association was found between pruritus and serum parathormone levels. Conclusion: serum parathormone level may not play a role in uraemic pruritus in these patients. J Dhaka Medical College, Vol. 28, No.1, April, 2019, Page 54-59
