Abstract

Patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD) experience increased mortality rates and decreased physical activity, which has an impact on patients' low quality of life (QOL). Physical activity has positively affected cardiovascular function, strength, and overall health status. On the other hand, physical activity has not been proven to cause any health hazards in HD patients. However, physical activity has not become a routine practice for HD patients, and there are no clear guidelines for physical activity in HD patients. Due to the inherent condition, intradialytic aerobic exercise appears to be the most suitable physical activity method for HD patients. However, research is still needed to assess the effectiveness and safety of intradialytic exercise (IDE) for HD patients in the long term. Research results can be used as a reference in developing the most appropriate IDE guidelines for HD patients.

Abstract

Background: Hemodialysis (HD) patients are susceptible to malnutrition, and there is a close relationship between malnutrition and the incidence of anemia. Parenteral nutrition plays a role in treating malnutrition. Objective: This study aims to determine the effect of parenteral nutrition on anemia in HD patients. Methods: Quasi-experimental research which is part of the nutritional research tree at the Hemodialysis Unit of RSUP Dr. Soetomo Surabaya for 3 months. A total of 45 malnourished CKD patients (SGA B & C) undergoing routine HD were included in this study (n=26 received regular diet & education, n=17 received regular diet, education and intradialytic parenteral nutrition, and n=2 dropped out of school due to blood transfusion). Measurements of body mass index (BMI), hemoglobin (Hb), serum iron (SI), and total iron binding capacity (TIBC) were carried out before and 8 weeks after therapy. Between groups used the Mann-Whitney test, while pre and post used the Wilcoxon matched-pairs sign rank test. Results: The treatment group was older than the control group. There was no difference in duration of HD between groups. Intradialytic parenteral nutrition had no effect on BMI (24.71±3.939 vs 24.71±4.026; p=0.3802), Hb (9.746±1.309 vs 9.162±1.960; p= 0.3525), SI (62.33±34.74 vs. 53.78±24.89; p=0.3594), and TIBC (242.8±119.0 vs. 197.3±43, 65; p=0.4258). Conclusion: In HD patients, intradialytic parenteral nutrition for 8 weeks did not affect Hb, SI and TIBC levels. Long-term observations with larger samples are needed to confirm these findings.

Abstract

Background: Chronic kidney disease leads to a progressive and irreversible decline in kidney function, necessitating lifelong treatments such as dialysis or kidney transplantation. Patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD) often encounter challenges such as muscle weakness, which can frequently precipitate feelings of hopelessness and premature aging. These challenges can lead to medical, social, economic, and psychological issues that profoundly affect their quality of life. Objective: This study aimed to determine the effect of physical exercise on the quality of life of patients undergoing HD. Methods: This research was a correlational study using a cross-sectional approach. The population comprised chronic kidney disease patients undergoing HD at Anna Medika Hospital, Bekasi. There were 38 respondents who met the inclusion criteria. The analysis of the research data was conducted using the Wilcoxon test. Results: The study yielded quality of life results after physical exercise, with both the good and moderate categories showing the same result of 47.4%, while the bad category had 5.3%. Conclusion: There is a significant improvement in quality of life after physical training compared to before.

Abstract

Background: Anemia is a common complication of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). The severity of anemia has implications for patients' quality of life. Objective: This study aims to determine the profile of Anemia and the relationship between Hemoglobin (Hb) levels and the quality of life of end-stage CKD patients undergoing chronic Hemodialysis. Methods: This study is analytical observational research with a cross-sectional design approach to explore the correlation between Hb levels and the quality of life of routine Hemodialysis patients at Hasan Sadikin Hospital, Bandung, throughout 2021-2022. Hb levels were continuous data. The quality of life of CKD patients was measured using the Indonesian version of the KDQOL questionnaire based on eight components. The obtained data were statistically analyzed using Spearman's Rank correlation. Results: This study had 150 subjects, 75 male (50.0%) and an average age of 45. The most common etiology of CKD was hypertensive nephrosclerosis (52.7%). The average Hb level was 9 g/dL. The highest quality of life score was 68, and the lowest was 41.28, with a median of 50.99. The correlation analysis results showed an r of -0.157 and p of 0.057, indicating a very weak negative correlation that is not statistically significant. Conclusion: The study's conclusion indicates no relationship between Hb levels and the quality of life of end-stage CKD patients undergoing chronic Hemodialysis.

Abstract

Ascites occurring in individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD) undergoing hemodialysis (HD) are referred to as nephrogenic ascites (NA). The pathogenesis of NA remains uncertain but involves many interrelated factors. These factors include inadequate dialysis, low ultrafiltration, poor nutrition, increased peritoneal membrane permeability, and impaired peritoneal lymphatic reabsorption. Frequent accompanying complaints are leg edema, nausea, decreased appetite, weakness, and complaints due to hypotension during HD. NA generally carries a poor long-term prognosis, likewise, with complex therapeutic options, both medical and surgical. Management of NA includes education regarding fluid restrictions, a high protein diet, intensive HD, as well as therapeutic modalities with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) and kidney transplantation. CAPD has been proven to improve quality of life and recovery from ascites. The NA in this case report was all related to the patient's low level of compliance against fluid intake restrictions, particularly while experiencing oliguria or anuria. In this case, intensive education regarding limiting fluid intake and high-protein nutrition seems essential for better patient outcomes. On the other hand, the presence of infectious complications gives poor outcomes. Two patients presented with umbilical hernia, which could be an obstacle for CAPD.

Abstract

Background: Malnutrition is prevalent in hemodialysis patients and significantly impacts prognosis. It can result from reduced food intake and protein loss during hemodialysis. Nutritional status is determined through anthropometric examinations, which include upper arm circumference (UAC), body mass index (BMI), hand grip strength, bicep, and tricep fold thickness. Laboratory examinations like total cholesterol and Malnutrition Inflammation Score (MIS) or Subjective Global Assessment (SGA) are also used. Intradialytic Parenteral Nutrition (IDPN) is expected to maintain or improve the nutritional status of hemodialysis patients. Objective: This research examines the impact of parenteral nutrition therapy on the anthropometric status of malnourished hemodialysis patients. Methods: This cross-sectional study, a sub-analysis of a larger nutritional therapy study, involved 24 hemodialysis patients experiencing malnutrition based on SGA B and C criteria with 1-10 years of hemodialysis. IDPN therapy was provided, and anthropometric measurements and total cholesterol were taken at baseline and three months after nutritional therapy. Data processing used comparative statistical analysis. Results: The mean age was 45.33 years, with 14 males and 10 females. After 3 months, there were no significant differences in UAC (mean difference = 0.13; p = 0.69), BMI (mean difference = 0.13; p = 0.50), hand grip strength (mean difference = -0.96; p = 0.282), biceps skinfold thickness (mean difference = 0.13; p = 0.69) and triceps (mean difference = 0.59; p = 0.134) or total cholesterol (mean difference = -1.5; p = 0.71). Conclusion: IDPN therapy for 3 months did not improve the anthropometric status of hemodialysis patients with malnutrition.

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.
