Core Subject : Health, Science,
The primary mission of this journal is to serve as a conduit for the dissemination of both clinical and foundational research pertinent to the expansive domains of nephrology and hypertension. Spanning a diverse array of topics, the journal delves into multifaceted areas including but not limited to chronic kidney disease, electrolyte and pH imbalances, hyperparathyroidism, CKD-MBD (chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder), anemia, acute kidney injury, renal replacement therapy encompassing both dialysis and transplantation modalities, hypertension, onconephrology, nephrotic and nephritic syndromes, as well as glomerulonephritis and various other glomerulopathies. Through comprehensive coverage of these multifaceted subjects, the journal aims to offer a holistic understanding of the intricate dynamics within the realms of nephrology and hypertension, thereby fostering advancements in clinical practice, research methodologies, and therapeutic interventions.

Abstract

Renal and cardiac involvement in active systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) may pose a diagnostic challenge because clinical, serological, and histopathological findings do not always correlate. A 20-year-old woman with a history of SLE presented with edema, foamy urine, decreased urine output, arthralgia, oral ulcers, and orthopnea. Laboratory and imaging findings revealed severe proteinuria, hematuria, urinary casts, hypocomplementemia, elevated serum creatinine, heart failure with reduced ejection fraction with an ejection fraction of 37%, pericardial effusion, and cardiomegaly. Kidney biopsy demonstrated class III+V lupus nephritis, with an activity index of 8/24, chronicity index of 8/12, fibrous and fibrocellular crescents each found in 1 of 5 viable glomeruli, and 60% interstitial fibrosis/tubular atrophy. Immunofluorescence showed granular deposition of IgG, IgA, IgM, C3, and C1q. Although the clinical course resembled rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis, the non-dominant crescentic lesions made “rapid decline in kidney function” a more appropriate term than classic RPGN. Cardiac dysfunction may represent suspected myocardial involvement, volume overload, anemia, uremia, or a combination of these factors. Kidney biopsy and integrated cardiac evaluation are essential for assessing disease activity, chronicity, and prognosis in cardiorenal involvement of active SLE.

Abstract

Abstract Background: Sepsis asscociated acute kidney injury (SA-AKI) is common condition that found in sepsis. Due to the lack of creatinine serum, this condition possibly makes therapy delayed. Kidney Injury Molecule-1 (KIM-1) is a a type 1 transmembrane protein with immunoglobulin and mucin domains, which is expressed increased in the proximal tubules of the kidney. Elevated urinary KIM-1 levels are an indicator of AKI. However, previous studies have shown varies results. Objectives: This study aims to determine early diagnosis biomarkers for the presence of AKI in sepsis. Methods: This diagnostic test was conducted at Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital Padang in sepsis patients. The diagnosis of AKI was established based on the 2012 KDIGO criteria. Results: The study involved 94 sepsis patients, only 22,34% (n=21) of them experienced AKI. Serum creatinine levels at admission and within 48 hours of hospitalization were 0,7 (IQR 0,2-1,6) mg/dl and 0,8 (IQR 0,3-2,2m) mg/dl. An urinary KIM-1 level at admission ≥11,74 ng/mL had sensitivity of 44,68%, specificity of 59,57%, positive predictive value of 52,5%, negative predictive value of 51,85%, and accuracy of 52,12% in early diagnosis of AKI in sepsis. Conclusion: Urinary Kidney injury molecule-1 level has poor diagnostic value in diagnosis of AKI in sepsis. Keywords: Sepsis, Kidney injury molecule-1, AKI.

Abstract

Introduction: Vascular access type may influence systemic inflammation and hematologic profiles in patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis. This study aimed to compare neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, hemoglobin, and ferritin levels between patients using arteriovenous fistulas and hemodialysis catheters. Methods: This cross-sectional analytical study included 128 patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis, consisting of 85 patients with arteriovenous fistulas and 43 with hemodialysis catheters. Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio and ferritin levels were compared using the Mann–Whitney U test, whereas hemoglobin levels were analyzed using the independent-samples t-test. Multiple linear regression was performed to assess the independent association between vascular access type and each laboratory parameter after adjustment for potential confounders. Results: Patients using hemodialysis catheters had significantly higher neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio than those with arteriovenous fistulas (median 4.92 vs. 4.13; p=0.049). Hemoglobin levels were also higher in the catheter group (8.82 ± 1.57 vs. 8.19 ± 1.62 g/dL; p=0.038). Ferritin levels were numerically higher among catheter users but were not significantly different in unadjusted analysis (p=0.154). After multivariable adjustment, hemodialysis catheter use remained independently associated with higher neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, hemoglobin, and ferritin levels. Conclusion: Hemodialysis catheter use was associated with higher inflammatory and hematologic biomarker levels compared with arteriovenous fistula use among patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis.

Abstract

Background: Intradialytic hypotension (IDH) remains one of the most frequent acute complications of maintenance hemodialysis. Local data from Indonesian hemodialysis units remain limited, although patient characteristics, dialysis practices, comorbidity burden, and nutritional status may influence IDH risk. Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study used secondary medical record data from adult patients with stage 5 chronic kidney disease undergoing maintenance hemodialysis at Ulin General Hospital, Banjarmasin, Indonesia. Patient-related and dialysis-related factors were evaluated. Variables with p<0.25 in bivariate analysis entered a multivariable binary logistic regression model. Results: A total of 145 patients were included. IDH occurred in 72 patients (49.66%). In multivariable analysis, age >=60 years was associated with higher odds of IDH compared with age <60 years (adjusted prevalence odds ratio [aPOR] 3.537, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.185-10.562, p=0.024). Compared with body mass index (BMI) >=30 kg/m2, BMI 23.0-24.9 kg/m2 was associated with lower odds of IDH (aPOR 0.101, 95% CI 0.015-0.677, p=0.018). Conclusions: Nearly half of CKD-5HD patients experienced IDH. Older age, BMI category, antihypertensive medication burden, and pre-hemodialysis blood pressure category were associated with IDH. These findings support structured IDH risk assessment in routine hemodialysis care, especially among older patients and patients with severe pre-hemodialysis hypertension.
