Introduction: Chronic kidney diseases affect patients with multiple respiratory complications by varied etiopathogenesis adversely affecting the outcome in them. The aim of the study is to find out the respiratory manifestations among patients with chronic kidney disease. Methods: The descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital from January 2019 to March 2019 after ethical approval. One hundred and two patients with established chronic kidney diseases being treated in a tertiary hospital for a month were included for the study. Clinical evaluation and relevant investigations; chest x ray, pleural fluid analysis, sputum analysis, echocardiography, biochemical investigations and hematological investigations were done to assess the respiratory manifestations of the patients. Results: Pulmonary edema 41 (24.84%) was the most common manifestation followed by pleural effusion 18 (10.9%). Pleural effusions were predominantly bilateral and transudative type. Pneumonia 17 (10.3%) was predominantly lobar pneumonia. Sixteen (9.7%) of the patients were screened positive for obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. Pulmonary tuberculosis was present in 9 (5.45%) patients. Conclusions: Varieties of respiratory complications can present in varied spectrum in patients with chronic kidney diseases and this carries adverse outcome to patient management as well as affects the quality of life of the patient and their family.

ABSTRACT Objective: to analyze the factors related to the impaired comfort of chronic kidney diseases (CKD) patients on hemodialysis. Method: this is a cross-sectional study with 80 patients undergoing hemodialysis in a renal replacement therapy unit through interviews using two instruments, one for clinical and sociodemographic characteristics and the General Comfort Questionnaire, during the hemodialysis session. Mann-Whitney tests and the logistic regression model were used for data analysis. Results: the study found that being younger (p=0.045); being married (p=0.05); and absence of impaired physical mobility (p=0.007) were contributing factors for greater comfort in CKD patients on hemodialysis. Thus, when establishing the odds ratio, it was possible to observe that being 55 years of age or older, being single and having impaired physical mobility represents a 45.7% chance of developing this diagnosis. Conclusions: sociodemographic and clinical variables contribute to the study outcome, demanding attention during the planning of nursing interventions.

Abstract Background: It is controversial about the sex differences in the association of chronic kidney diseases (CKD) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. Thus, we examined CVD risk makers of CKD and non-CKD men and women in China, especially some “non-traditional” ones.Methods: This cross-sectional study used 7999 participants from the China Health and Nutrition Survey in 2009. This study examined the “traditional” risk factors and of CVD, such as lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), total cholesterol (TC) and non-high density lipoprotein cholesterol(non-HDL-C).Also, the “non-traditional” risk factors of CVD were calculated, such as lipoprotein (a)(Lp(a)), white blood cell (WBC) count, visceral adiposity index (VAI) and lipid accumulation product (LAP).Results: Compared with men with CKD, higher levels of TC and LDL-C were observed in women with CKD. Furthermore, compared with men with CKD, the relative difference of WBC count was greater between women with CKD and their non-CKD ones. Meanwhile, the level of LAP and VAI of women with CKD were higher than men with CKD, which indicate the visceral obese. We also observed that the sex by CKD status interactions were statistically significant for TC, LDL-C, non-HDL-C, LAP, VAI and Lp(a) (all p <0.05). After adjusted the covariates, the sex differences effect on CVD risk factors among CKD patients couldn’t be eliminated as well. Conclusions: In CKD situation, women had greater lipid profiles and put on more visceral adiposity than men, which may indicate a higher CVD risk of women with CKD.

Abstract Background Adolescent pregnancy is a risk factor for suicide. We aimed to assess the prevalence of suicide attempts among young women with adolescent pregnancy in Bangladesh and to explore its associated factors. Methods In this cross-sectional study, we surveyed young women with adolescent pregnancy in urban and rural areas in Bangladesh to assess suicide attempts, socio-demographic and pregnancy-related characteristics, perceived health status, and perceived social support. Binary logistic regression analysis was conducted to explore the relationship between potentially related factors and suicide attempts. Results Of the participants, 6.5% (61/940) reported suicide attempts in the past 12 months, and the majority (88.5%) of the attempts happened within one year after the pregnancy. Participants with more years after first pregnancy (odds ratio (OR) = 0.47, 95% CI: 0.37–0.61) and more perceived social support from friends (OR = 0.69, 95% CI: 0.55–0.86) were less likely to have suicide attempts, and those perceived bad health status compared with good/fair health status (OR = 8.38, 95% CI: 3.08–22.76) were more likely to attempt suicide. Conclusions Women with adolescent pregnancy were at high risk of suicide attempts, especially those during the first postnatal year. The risk of suicide attempts attenuated with the time after pregnancy, and perceived social support from friends was a protective factor and perceived bad health status was a risk factor for suicide attempts among young women who have experienced adolescent pregnancy.
