The purpose of this study is to determine the levels of anxiety and depression in patients aged between 18 and 70 years, hospitalized with chronic kidney disease in a clinic entity of the city of Barranquilla. The type of research is descriptive, presenting the information through the indicators and statistical tables, the Hospital Scale of Anxiety and Depression of, Zigmond & Smith (1983), which evaluates the detection of depressive and anxious disorders in the non-psychiatric hospital context. The application of the Scale was performed in the hospital entity of the city of Barranquilla to 50 patients with Chronic Kidney Disease. The results they are beneficial in the short term, because they create new research proposals applied to another population group diagnosed with chronic diseases, especially for the evaluation and intervention in the area of health psychology. In the long term, new theories, methods of intervention and evaluation applied to the population of patients with chronic kidney disease will be studied. In the same way, the results show marked trends related to depression, an aspect that is consistent with the deterioration that affects the individual in the course of the disease and also show a positive correlation of the study variables, depression and anxiety disorders in patients with CKD can be due to a symptomatology or consequence of psychological burnout.

Indwelling venous catheters provide essential functional vascular access for patients requiring emergent or urgent hemodialysis, though their long-term use is practically limited by known complications including increased rates of infection as compared with surgically created arteriovenous (AV) fistulas. Converging lines of evidence also support that chronic kidney disease (CKD) represents a pro-inflammatory state, an environment with active cellular and inflammatory pathobiology. Accordingly, implantation of catheters for even short-term use is associated with a fibrinthrombin-cellular matrix often forming around the catheter. This “biomass” long considered innocuous, can cause occlusion of the catheter, contributing to reduced flow rates during dialysis. It may also result in embolic injury of downstream structures. This case report identifies a complex catheter-related biomass remaining after removal of the hemodialysis catheter and focuses on two concerns. First, intravenous masses associated with the catheter, or remaining after removal may provoke embolic and direct hemodynamic-related injury. But perhaps less obvious is their potential linkage to vascular immunoreactivity found in CKD. This latter potential may need to be part of the larger discussion surrounding the outcomes of such pathologic immunoresponsiveness in CKD patients on hemodialysis.

Haemodialysis (HD) is a well-established, longstanding, and life-saving treatment for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) or acute kidney injury (AKI). However, side-effects of HD in CKD patients are numerous and remain problematic. Amongst others, CKD patients are susceptible to short-term effects caused by abnormalities in water and electrolyte balance and long-term effects related to sustained inflammation short-term side-effects of HD such as errors in sodium content of dialysate could readily be overcome by correct baseline labelling of dialysates and the ongoing rigorous implementation of safety procedures by staff nurses and physicians. The proper implementation of biofeedback systems, with tight safety alarm limits and conductivity based detection systems including the analysis of ionic mass balance could have prevented the shortfalls described. Long-term untoward effects of HD are mainly due to sustained inflammation and are correlated with higher morbidity and mortality. Unfortunately, the pathophysiologic mechanisms that underpin the inflammatory processes induced by HD remain poorly understood or incompletely unravelled. Within the wide array of inflammatory (interactions, cytokines are undoubtedly key players but interesting biomarkers (e.g. follistatin) and pathways (e.g. erythropoietin hyporesponsiveness) have come into play. Therapeutic interventions in differing fields such as vascular access, avoidance of intra-dialytic hypotension and pharmacologic interventions with statins, angiotensin II receptor antagonists or vitamine D supplementation may be of significance. However, confirmatory trials investigating of all these promising therapies are, as yet, lacking. The impact of the dialysis technique itself should not be underestimated.

Abstract Adaptation to a low-protein diet (LPD) involves a reduction in the rate of amino acid (AA) flux and oxidation, leading to more efficient use of dietary AA and reduced ureagenesis. Of note, the concept of ‘adaptation’ to low-protein intakes has been separated from the concept of ‘accommodation’, the latter term implying a decrease in protein synthesis, with development of wasting, when dietary protein intake becomes inadequate, i.e. beyond the limits of the adaptive mechanisms. Acidosis, insulin resistance and inflammation are recognized mechanisms that can increase protein degradation and can impair the ability to activate an adaptive response when an LPD is prescribed in a chronic kidney disease (CKD) patient. Current evidence shows that, in the short term, clinically stable patients with CKD Stages 3–5 can efficiently adapt their muscle protein turnover to an LPD containing 0.55–0.6 g protein/kg or a supplemented very-low-protein diet (VLPD) by decreasing muscle protein degradation and increasing the efficiency of muscle protein turnover. Recent long-term randomized clinical trials on supplemented VLPDs in patients with CKD have shown a very good safety profile, suggesting that observations shown by short-term studies on muscle protein turnover can be extrapolated to the long-term period.

Hemodialysis therapy of patients with chronic kidney disease can changes the patients physically, psychological, social and economics because they have to deal with it for the rest of their life. This can affect the quality of life of the patients because of the long-term of hemodialysis therapy, this is one of the factors that affect the quality of life of the patients with chronic kidney disease. Quality of life is focused on the assessment of the individual against conditions acceptance. Each individual takes different phases to accept the condition. The purposes of the study were to determine if the relationship between the duration of hemodialysis and quality of life of the patients with chronic kidney disease at Gatoel Hospital Mojokerto. This research used cross-sectional design. The patient's population with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis is 150 people. The research sample is drawn using sampling techniques with the type of nonprobability purposive sampling with 130 people as a sample. Data obtained from questionnaires KDQoL 36. The result using Spearman rho test using SPSS V.16 shows p < α (0,006 < 0,05). H0 rejected, this means that there is a relationship between the duration of hemodialysis and quality of life with chronic kidney disease at Gatoel Hospital Mojokerto. The quality of life of the patients fluctuated based on the stage adaptation of the hemodialysis and disease. However, most patients with the duration of hemodialysis for more than 12 months had a sufficient quality of life and their therapy are already familiar with the symptoms and complications, but there are other factors that affect the quality of life such as gender, marital status, and education level. Patients are also expected to cooperate in what to do and not to do to improve the quality of life of the patients.

Background Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) is currently the standard treatment for the prevention of ischemic events after stent implantation. However, the optimal DAPT duration remains elusive for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Therefore, we aimed to compare the effectiveness and safety between long-term and short-term DAPT after coronary stenting in patients with CKD. Methods This retrospective cohort study analyze data from the Taipei Medical University (TMU) Institutional and Clinical Database, which include anonymized electronic health data of 3 million patients that visited TMU Hospital, Wan Fang Hospital, and Shuang Ho Hospital. We enrolled patients with CKD after coronary stenting between 2008 and 2019. The patients were divided into the long-term (>6 months) and short-term DAPT group (≤ 6 months). The primary end point was major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) from 6 months after the index date. The secondary outcomes were all-cause mortality and Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) bleeding. Results A total of 1899 patients were enrolled; of them, 1112 and 787 were assigned to the long-term and short-term DAPT groups, respectively. Long-term DAPT was associated with similar risk of MACE (HR: 1.05, 95% CI: 0.65–1.70, P = 0.83) compare with short-term DAPT. Different CKD risk did not modify the risk of MACE. There was also no significant difference in all-cause mortality (HR: 1.10, 95% CI: 0.75–1.61, P = 0.63) and TIMI bleeding (HR 1.19, 95% CI: 0.86–1.63, P = 0.30) between groups. Conclusions Among patients with CKD and coronary stenting, we found that long-term and short-term DAPT tied on the risk of MACE, all-cause mortality and TIMI bleeding.
