Abstract

Background: The involvement of the liver in COVID-19 is not yet well understood, but several studies have suggested an association between elevated liver transaminases and the severity and mortality of COVID-19. Aim: This study aims to analyze the liver enzyme profiles of COVID-19 patients and determine the correlation between the severity of COVID-19 with the risk of mortality. Methods: The study was an observational study with case-control analysis. It was conducted between August 1, 2020, and October 31, 2020. The samples were collected consecutively based on the order of hospitalized research subjects in RSUD dr. Saiful Anwar Malang, East Java, Indonesia and were handed by the department of internal medicine. RT-PCR was used to confirm the diagnosis of COVID-19. The collected and grouped data was presented in tabulated form, and statistical analysis was carried out using a non-parametric analysis test with the Chi-Square Test method. Results: The study found that 51.4% of patients had elevated AST (Aspartate transaminase) levels, and 41.8% had elevated ALT (alanine aminotransferase) levels. AST and ALT data showed the severity and mortality variable's probability value (p-value) was < 0.005. Conclusion: This study's results indicated a significant relationship between increased transaminase enzymes with the severity and mortality rate of COVID-19 patients.

Abstract

CMML (Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia) is a rare type of blood cancer that characterized with the presents of monocytes in the blood. 1,2 According to WHO it is categorized as overlapped manifestation of MDS (Myelodysplastic Syndrome) and MPD (Myeloproliferative Disease) or MPN (Myeloproliferative Neoplasm). 2,3 The origin cause of CMML is gene mutation on TET2 (60 %), SRSF2 (50 %), ASLX1 (40 %), and RAS (30 %). 1,3,4 Men are predominantly affected with incidence peak between 71 and 74 years of age, and the prevalence on young adult are very rare and considered to be closely related to the presence of gene mutations in ASLX1. 1,3,5 From several case reports, there were 63 % of CMML patients changed into secondary AML within 1-5 years due to somatic gene mutations in the ASLX1. 2,3,4,6 In this case, we report a 21-year-old male who is diagnosed with CMML and eventually transformed to AML.

Abstract

Most patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) require renal replacement therapy. Majority of hemodialysis initiation is done through a dialysis catheter access. The use of catheters double lumen (CDL) for hemodialysis has several potential complications, including infection. Catheter related bloodstream infection (CRBSI) is associated with increased morbidity and mortality in CKD patients. CRBSI therapy should not be delayed, including delays due to waiting for culture results to confirm the diagnosis. Several studies have reported the use of clinical findings and routine blood count parameters to predict CRBSI. This case series reported three cases with suspected CRBSI consisting of one woman and two men with mean age of 44.67 ± 8.21 years, mean catheter days 13 ± 6.97, and mean hemodialysis duration of 10.5 ± 13.79 month. Diagnosis CRBSI was suspected from clinical clue, i.e symptoms such as fever and chills, pain at the CDL site, and physical examination i.e body temperature and local CDL site signs. Laboratory parameters in this case series reported elevations for PLR, NLR and SIRI supporting the suspicion of bloodstream infection. All patients in this case series improved after CDL removal and antibiotics therapy. Investigation of clinical findings and routine blood count parameters can be an alternative diagnosis of CRBSI that enables prompt treatment in areas with limited facilities.

Abstract

Background: Patients with chronic kidney disease who undergo hemodialysis and CAPD (Continous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis) modalities often experience disturbances in nutritional status and quality of life. The condition is affected by the chosen modalities and duration. Aim: This study assesses the differences in nutritional status and quality of life in individuals undergoing hemodialysis therapy with a duration of 4-hour, hemodialysis with a duration of 5-hour, and CAPD in order to determine the best modalities for patients with chronic kidney disease. Methods: Data were collected with cross-sectional from patients with chronic kidney disease at the hemodialysis polyclinic at RSUD dr. Saiful Anwar Malang, Panti Nirmala Hospital Malang, Wava Husada Kepanjen Hospital, and the CAPD polyclinic at RSUD dr. Saiful Anwar Malang. Classified into CAPD group, 4-hour hemodialysis group, and 5-hour hemodialysis group. Assessment with a questionnaire consisting of the patient’s baseline characteristics, subjective global assessment (SGA), and SF-36 are used to assess and analyze differences in nutritional status and quality of life of patients with chronic kidney disease against the selected dialysis modality. Results: The physical health of the 5-hour hemodialysis group showed significant results compared to the 4-hour hemodialysis and CAPD (p <0.05). Mental health in the 5-hour hemodialysis procedure showed significant results compared to the 4-hour hemodialysis and CAPD (p <0.05). The nutritional status of 5-hour of hemodialysis was better than 4-hour of hemodialysis and CAPD (p<0.05). Conclusion: Hemodialysis with a duration of 5-hour has a better nutritional status and quality of life compared to a duration of 4-hour or CAPD.
