Abstract

Background: Remdesivir is one of the pharmacological therapies for moderate COVID-19 patients. Remdesivir is an antiviral that can increase the risk of nephrotoxicity. Objective: The study aims to evaluate the incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) in COVID-19 patients receiving remdesivir. Methods: This is a cross-sectional analytic study of 238 COVID-19 patients receiving remdesivir therapy at Awal Bros Panam Hospital for the period 2020–2022. AKI was diagnosed using the KDIGO criteria. The chi-square test was used to determine the correlation of AKI incidence with age, gender, and comorbidities, with a significance level of p < 0.05. Results: AKI was found in 32 patients (13.4%). The majority of AKI patients (75%) were aged 60 years or older, with 65.6% being male. Additionally, 84.4% of these patients had comorbidities, and 53.1% of them died. Around half of the patients were diagnosed with stage 1 AKI, and the majority, specifically 84.4%, did not undergo renal replacement therapy (RRT). The association between the incidence of AKI and age and comorbidities was shown to be statistically significant (p=0.000; RR 5.11; 95% CI 2.44-10.8 and p=0.009; RR 3.05; 95% CI 1.22-7.64, respectively). Conclusion: The main risk factors for AKI are primarily observed in the older population and individuals with several medical conditions. Greater emphasis should be placed on administering remdesivir to COVID-19 patients who are elderly and have comorbidities, as they are at a higher risk of developing AKI.

Abstract

Background: The 2018 Riskesdas report revealed that the incidence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects 0.38% of Indonesia’s population. Anemia frequently complicates CKD, especially in patients undergoing regular hemodialysis. Reticulocyte hemoglobin equivalent (RET-He) assesses hemoglobin content in reticulocytes, indicating iron availability for erythropoiesis in the bone marrow. CKD significantly impacts patients' socio-economic status, heightening morbidity and mortality while diminishing quality of life. The relationship between RET-He and the quality of life in CKD patients on routine hemodialysis remains unclear. Objective: To investigate the correlation between RET-He and quality of life in CKD patients undergoing routine hemodialysis. Methods: A cross-sectional observational analytical study with data from medical records of CKD patients receiving routine hemodialysis between October 1st and October 30th, 2021. The Spearman correlation test was used for analysis. Results: This study included 92 patients, consisting of 40 males and 52 females, with a median age of 50 years and RET-He values at 31. Quality of life metrics included physical function (800, range: 0-1000), physical limitations (300, range: 0-400), body pain (175, range: 75-255), general health (475, range: 225-600), vitality (320, range: 200-400), social function (175, range: 75-200), emotional limitations (300, range: 100-300), and mental health (380, range: 160-500). The correlation analysis revealed no significant relationships: physical function (p=0.359), physical limitations (p=0.813), body pain (p=0.373), general health (p=0.547), vitality (p=0.616), social function (p=0.828), emotional limitations (p=0.482), and mental health (p=0.136). Conclusion: There is no significant correlation between RET-He levels and the quality of life in CKD patients undergoing regular hemodialysis.

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

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a growing health issue that significantly affects patients' quality of life. CKD patients are prone to sleep disturbances, which can lead to chronic fatigue and a decrease in their quality of life. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) is a parameter that can be used to assess the sleep quality of CKD patients. Objective: This study aims to determine the relationship between estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and sleep quality in non-dialysis CKD patients. Methods: The research design is an observational analytic study with a cross-sectional approach. The research subjects were stage 3-5 non-dialysis CKD patients aged 18 to 60 years at Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Hospital Manado from March to May 2022. The sleep quality of CKD patients was assessed using the PSQI score. Data analysis was performed with a significance level of p < 0.05. Results: A total of 30 patients with stage 3-5 non-dialysis CKD were found. They consisted of 20 males and 10 females, aged 38-59 years, with an average of 59.80 ± 9.86 years. In the normality test using Shapiro-Wilk, the patient samples were not normally distributed (p = .000). For statistical analysis using the Spearman test, a negative correlation was found between eGFR and PSQI scores (r = -0.554), which was statistically significant (p = 0.002). Conclusion: This study found a significant relationship between eGFR and PSQI scores, which shows that a decrease in eGFR worsens the sleep quality of non-dialysis CKD patients.

Abstract

Wasp stings are prevalent in Indonesia and have occasionally resulted in fatalities. Wasp stings can potentially induce a small localized allergic response, systemic reactions, or even life-threatening illnesses. Receiving several stings from wasps can cause systemic inflammation, resulting in acute kidney injury. We present a case of a 51-year-old female who experienced severe renal impairment as a result of repeated wasp stings. Following the stings, the patient promptly obtained medical attention. However, on the second day after the incident, the patient's renal function declined and experienced anuria. The ultrasonography indicates the presence of nephritis. The patient presented with 103 sting wounds, which resulted in local reactions and were accompanied by systemic symptoms. The patient was administered high-dose steroids and underwent five intermittent hemodialysis sessions, which effectively restored their kidney function. Evidence of enhanced renal function was demonstrated through the restoration of normal urine production, elevated glomerular filtration rate, and significant clinical improvements in the patient. This case illustrates the severe impact on the kidney of a generalized wasp sting and the effect of promptly receiving medical treatment following an enormous wasp sting on the patient's prognosis. Initiating dialysis promptly is crucial for rapidly eliminating toxins and thus preserving renal function.

Abstract

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a global epidemic, being increasingly prevalent in both developed and developing countries, including Indonesia. Hemodialysis (HD) is the primary renal replacement therapy, along with peritoneal dialysis and kidney transplantation. The effectiveness of HD relies on well-functioning vascular access, such as central vein catheters (CVCs). These catheters are classified by their duration of use: short-term, medium-term, and long-term. They are also distinguished by insertion type (central or peripheral), insertion site (jugular, subclavian, femoral), and number of lumens (single, double, triple). The preferred site for insertion is the internal jugular vein, followed by the femoral vein and the subclavian vein. Techniques for CVC insertion include the central approach, the posterior approach, and others. This article reviews the role of CVC for vascular access in HD. Specifically, various CVC insertion sites and techniques will be examined. The authors will also discuss the available research on the application of CVC as vascular access for HD in Indonesia.
