Abstract

BACKGROUND: In Indonesia, wet cupping therapy has been thoroughly investigated as a treatment for hypertension and dyslipidemia. Nevertheless, the outcomes across these studies are contradictory.OBJECTIVES: To appraise the effectiveness of wet cupping therapy in the management of hypertension and dyslipidemia among the Indonesian population.METHODS: We examined papers sourced from Google Scholar, the Indonesian Scientific Journal Database, and Garba Rujukan Digital until September 5, 2020. These papers investigated blood pressure and lipid profile levels both pre- and post-wet cupping treatment. The collective data underwent Z-test analysis to assess associations.RESULTS: In total, we included 26 papers examining the correlation between wet cupping therapy and blood pressure, as well as 16 papers assessing lipid profile levels. Our combined analysis revealed significantly reduced systolic blood pressure (MD: 13.86; 95% CI: 10.01, 17.71), diastolic blood pressure (MD: 6.31; 95% CI: 3.84, 8.79), and lower total cholesterol levels (MD: 21.56; 95% CI: 10.32, 32.80]) in the post-treatment group compared to the pre-treatment group. However, we were unable to elucidate the impact of wet cupping therapy on the concentrations of low-density lipoprotein and triglyceride.CONCLUSIONS: Wet cupping therapy exhibits potential efficacy in reducing blood pressure and total cholesterol levels among individuals in Indonesia.

Abstract

Transplant renal artery stenosis (TRAS) is a serious complication of renal transplantation, with its prevalence and associated factors remaining inconclusive. The aim of this study was to assess the global prevalence and risk factors associated with TRAS incidence in renal transplant recipients. We conducted a meta-analysis by collecting data on the prevalence and factors associated with TRAS from articles in Scopus, Embase, and PubMed. The prevalence of TRAS was determined using a single-arm meta-analysis. The factors associated with TRAS were determined using Mantel-Haenszel analysis or inverse variance analysis. Out of 28,599 articles from the searches, 31 of them were included in the analysis. The global prevalence of TRAS was 6% among renal transplant recipients. Diabetes mellitus, hypertension, longer duration of dialysis before transplant, deceased donor, acute rejection, delayed graft function, longer cold ischemic time, and prolonged peak systolic velocity were associated with an increased risk of TRAS. Age, gender, peripheral artery disease (PAD) comorbidity, causes of end-stage renal disease (ESRD), previous dialysis modality, and cytomegalovirus infection were not associated with TRAS incidence. In conclusion, the global prevalence of TRAS in renal transplant recipients is relatively high, and some of the contributing factors to the development of TRAS are preventable. These findings could serve as a guideline for informing the management of TRAS in the future.

Abstract

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a global health challenge affecting over 800 million people worldwide. Early detection is crucial to prevent progression to end-stage renal disease (ESRD), where life-saving interventions like dialysis or transplantation are necessary. Among the markers for early kidney damage, the Albumin Creatinine Ratio (ACR) in urine is one of the most reliable. Conventional methods of ACR detection, such as LC/MS-MS and ELISA, are highly accurate but require expensive equipment and skilled personnel, limiting their accessibility, especially in resource-limited settings. To address this, we developed a 3D-connector microfluidic paperbased analytical device (3D-µPADs) enhanced with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) for sensitive and low-cost ACR detection. The integration of AuNPs amplifies colorimetric signals, enhancing the visual distinction in albumin detection. Our 3D-µPADs werefabricated using chromatographic paper Whatman No. 1 with hydrophobic barriers created by solid wax printing, followed by reagent immobilization for albumin and creatinine detection. The colorimetric and distance responses, based on reactions with Bromocresol Green (BCG) and Chrome Azurol S-Palladium (CAS-Pd2+), were analyzed using ImageJ software to quantify albumin and creatinine levels. The 3D-µPADs exhibited optimal sensitivity and accuracy, with linear detection ranges for albumin and creatinine of 30–400 mg/g. Validation with human urine samples demonstrated an accuracy of 93.04%, suggesting that 3D-µPADs offer a promising alternative for early nephropathy detection. Our findings provide a cost-effective, accessible tool for CKD screening, potentially transforming diagnostics in low-resource environments.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Sepsis is a syndrome that can result in multiorgan dysfunction, including acute kidney injury (AKI). AKI is a serious complication of sepsis, and its incidence ranges from 30% to 50%. Newer predictive biomarkers such as serum interleukin-18 (IL-18) are being evaluated as early diagnostic markers with potentially greater sensitivity than serum creatinine. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the usefulness of serum IL-18 levels as a predictive biomarker for AKI in patients with sepsis. METHODS: The cross-sectional study was conducted at Dr. Saiful Anwar General Hospital and included 68 sepsis patients, 34 with AKI and 34 without AKI. The serum level of IL-18 was measured using the ELISA method. AKI diagnosis was made according to the KDIGO criteria. The Mann-Whitney test, Spearman correlation, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis were included in the statistical analysis. RESULTS: The results showed that serum IL-18 levels were significantly greater in the AKI group compared with the non-AKI group (49.88 ± 50.87 vs. 19.89 ± 10.40; p < 0.001). A significant positive correlation was observed between serum IL-18 levels and the risk of AKI (r = 0.505; p < 0.001). ROC analysis revealed an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.792 with 82.4% sensitivity and 64.7% specificity at a cut-off value of 23.81 pg/mL. Logistic regression revealed that with each 1-unit increase in serum IL-18, a 7.3% increase in the risk of developing AKI was observed. CONCLUSION: Serum IL-18 has good potential to serve as a predictive biomarker for AKI in sepsis patients, with reasonable diagnostic accuracy.

Abstract

Background: Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a complication that often occurs in diabetes mellitus, in which the kidneys are damaged. Nitric oxide (NO) and Asymmetric Dimethylarginine (ADMA) are mediators that play a role in the pathophysiology of DN. Rosmarinic acid (AR) is an antioxidant compound that has the potential to be an alternative treatment for diabetic nephropathy. Valsartan and Irbesartan are antihypertensive drugs that have a nephroprotective effect. However, no studies have studied the concomitant use of AR with these two antihypertensive drugs. Aim: To identify the effect of the combination of AR and Valsartan and Irbesartan on NO and ADMA levels in DN rat models.. Methods: True experimental laboratory design and a randomized posttest only controlled group design method. The rats were divided into four groups, namely the negative control group, positive control (diabetic rats without therapy), group 3 (AR) 75 mg/kgBW/day with Irbesartab 1.5 mg/kg BW/day) and group 4 (AR) 75 mg/kgBW /day with Valsartan 1 mg/kg/day). Data were analyzed using One-way ANOVA with a significance level of p<0.05. Results: Administration of Valsartan (79.42±13.95 µmol/L) and Irbesartan (84.62±18.59 µmol/L) significantly increased NO levels compared to the positive control (61.49±8.03 µmol/L) (p< 0.05). Administration of Valsartan (57.87 ± 9.29 ng/mL) and Irbesartan (53.77 ± 9.42 ng/mL) did not decrease NO levels compared to control (50.46 ± 8.52 ng/mL) (p> 0.05 ). Conclusion: Administration of valsartan and irbesartan increased NO levels in DN rats exposed to rosmarinic acid. However, administration of valsartan and irbesartan did not affect ADMA levels in DN rats exposed to rosmarinic acid.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) carries a high risk of cardiovascular complications due to atherosclerosis, which is exacerbated by chronic inflammation. The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR) are emerging inflammatory markers with potential to predict atherosclerotic risk. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the association between NLR and MLR values with carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) in CKD patients undergoing hemodialysis and continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). METHODS: This observational cross-sectional study was conducted at Dr. Saiful Anwar General Hospital, Malang, between July and December 2024. Data on baseline characteristics, laboratory results, and CIMT were obtained from medical records and carotid ultrasonography. Statistical analyses included t-tests, Mann-Whitney tests, and Pearson or Spearman correlation tests, depending on data distribution. RESULTS: A total of 97 CKD patients were included (45 on CAPD and 52 on hemodialysis). NLR values were significantly higher in the CAPD group compared to the hemodialysis group (p = 0.0253), while MLR did not differ significantly. CIMT was significantly higher in the hemodialysis group (p = 0.0035). In the CAPD group, MLR was significantly correlated with CIMT (r = 0.3543; p = 0.0169), whereas no significant correlation was observed in the hemodialysis group. NLR was not significantly associated with CIMT in either group. Subgroup and ROC analyses indicated that neither NLR nor MLR could accurately differentiate elevated CIMT from normal. CONCLUSION: MLR is associated with CIMT in patients undergoing CAPD, while NLR does not show a significant association with CIMT in either dialysis group.
