Abstract

Background: Vitamin D deficiency is a common issue among patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) due to its ability to convert vitamin D into the active form of calcitriol, which is crucial for controlling cell inflammation. Low vitamin D levels are associated with increased inflammation and higher levels of biomarkers such as c-reactive protein and asymmetric dimethylarginine as an endogenous inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase. Those two combined become a specific marker for cardiovascular diseases, which become one of the common causes of CKD mortality. Objective: This study examines the correlation between vitamin D insufficiency, elevated high-sensitivity c-reactive protein, and asymmetric dimethylarginine in CKD patients receiving hemodialysis. Methods: This study used a cross-sectional design of CKD patients receiving hemodialysis in Dr. Kariadi Central General Hospital, Semarang, Indonesia, in November 2021. Thirty-six patients were randomly enrolled after meeting inclusion and exclusion criteria. Primary outcomes of Vitamin D, hs-CRP, and ADMA were measured from patients’ blood after hemodialysis. A statistical analysis of Pearson's correlation was used for primary outcomes. Results: No significant difference was found in the patient's baseline characteristics. A significant correlation between vitamin D and ADMA has been found; however, no correlation between vitamin D and hs-CRP has been found Conclusion: Vitamin D deficiency is correlated with elevated ADMA, indicative of endothelial dysfunction.

Abstract

Cervical cancer is a common gynecological malignancy, particularly in developing countries, where it coexists with renal impairment in over one-third of patients. This disease typically presents acutely and progresses rapidly. Consequently, kidney replacement therapy, including hemodialysis (HD), is commonly required. To assess survival rates and associated factors, this retrospective cohort study analyzed the medical records of 252 cervical cancer patients who began HD across a three-month follow-up period. Kaplan–Meier analysis indicated a median short-term survival duration of 71.5 days (range: 7–90), with 1-, 2-, and 3-month survival rates of 56%, 51%, and 49%, respectively. Multivariate Cox regression identified post-HD systolic blood pressure <110 mmHg (hazard ratio [HR] 3.354; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.346–4.795; p-value <0.001) and interdialytic weight gain ≥5% (HR 1.685; 95% CI: 1.125–2.521; p-value <0.011) as significant predictors of decreased survival. Other variables, including age, urea, albumin, vascular access, baseline creatinine, and cancer stage, were not significantly associated with short-term survival. These findings underscore the critical role of salt and fluid management, adherence to dietary and dialysis regimens, and close monitoring of weight in improving outcomes. Interventions targeting modifiable factors may improve the survival of cervical cancer patients who require HD. Such approaches, therefore, warrant further investigation.
