Abstract

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), cirrhosis is a structural change of the liver from normal to abnormal, characterized by fibrosis. Ascites is the most common complication in liver cirrhosis patients with the primary trigger (75%) is portal hypertension. The treatment focuses on removing the fluid from the peritoneal cavity. This study aim to understanding the pattern of diuretic use as ascites therapy in patients with cirrhosis hepatic. An observational study with a retrospective and descriptive approach using total sampling method in patients diagnosed with cirrhosis and ascites who received diuretics at Dr Iskak Tulungagung general hospital during January-December 2022 were conducted. The tools used in this study include medical records, data collection sheets, clinical data sheets, and laboratory data. Among 62 patients, 16 (26%) received spironolactone monotherapy, 9 (14%) furosemide monotherapy, 21 (34%) combination therapy, and 16 (26%) underwent switching between regimens. Spironolactone, particularly at 100 mg orally once daily, either alone or in combination with furosemide (40 mg intravenously once daily), was the most frequently prescribed diuretic regimen. These findings indicate that the therapeutic approach applied in clinical practice has generally followed the AASLD guideline recommendations.

Abstract

Anemia is a common complication of chronic kidney disease (CKD) caused by decreased endogenous erythropoietin production. Exogenous erythropoietin is administered to increase hemoglobin levels; however, patient responses may vary. This research aimed to identify patterns of erythropoietin use and describe hemoglobin levels before and after hemodialysis in CKD patients with anemia. This retrospective observational study used a cross-sectional design and medical record data from CKD patients with anemia who underwent hemodialysis and received erythropoietin from January to December 2023 at R.T. Notopuro Regional General Hospital, Sidoarjo. Hemoglobin change was calculated as post-hemodialysis hemoglobin minus pre-hemodialysis hemoglobin within the same session. Hemoglobin levels before and after dialysis were analyzed using a paired t-test. The dosage profile was presented descriptively. We analyzed 40 patients: 23 males (58%), 17 females (42%), and 35 patients (86%) aged >44 years. All patients received erythropoietin: 37 patients (92.5%) received 2000 IU, and 3 patients (7.5%) received 3000 IU. The mean hemoglobin level increased from 8.70 ± 1.01 g/dL before hemodialysis to 8.93 ± 1.10 g/dL after hemodialysis, with a mean change of +0.23 ± 0.80 g/dL (p=0.075). Based on dosage, the hemoglobin change was +0.21 ± 0.82 g/dL in the 2000 IU group and +0.53 ± 0.40 g/dL in the 3000 IU group. The erythropoietin use profile was dominated by erythropoietin alpha at a dose of 2000 IU. Hemoglobin levels after one hemodialysis session showed a small and statistically insignificant increase.
