Background: In view of the fact that Brightness (B)-mode ultrasound findings in patients with renal parenchymal disease are profoundly non-specific, this study was carried out to determine the efficiency of color Doppler sonography for assessing renal function. In this series, the relationship between the resistive index (RI) of renal interlobar artery and serum creatinine level was analyzed for any relevant association of this color Doppler index with the serum creatinine level.Methods: In this prospective cross-sectional study, 40 patients with renal parenchymal disease having serum creatinine level >1.4 mg/dL were chosen midst routine revisits. The control group comprised of 40 normal subjects with serum creatinine levels <1.4 mg/dL. After assessing the kidneys of these subjects with gray-scale ultrasound for presence of any stones, hydronephrosis, and/or space occupying lesions instead of, they were subsequently interrogated with color Doppler sonography and RI calculated.Results: The mean serum creatinine levels±SD in the case and control groups were 6.7±0.7 mg/dL and 1.0±0.4 mg/dL, respectively. The mean±SD resistive index (RI) was 79.0%±1.8% in the diseased group and 60.3%±0.7% in the healthy subjects (p<0.001). The correlation between the RI and the serum creatinine level was statistically significant (p<0.001).Conclusions: Resistive index (RI) measurement by color doppler ultrasonography is a reasonable prognosticator of functional outcome in patients with renal parenchymal disease.

Aortoiliac Reconstruction

Studies on aortoiliac reconstruction for severe atherosclerosis with renal transplantation are limited. Here, we report a rare experience of the simultaneous reconstruction of the external iliac artery caused by severe atherosclerosis with polytetrafluoroethylene vascular graft and renal transplantation in a 55-year-old female; she was unable to undergo standard renal artery anastomosis to the right external iliac artery because of severe atherosclerosis, which would result in complete occlusion. Next, we directly anastomosed the donor renal artery to the polytetrafluoroethylene graft. After transplantation, delayed graft function occurred; therefore, the patient had to undergo hemodialysis. On day 7 after transplantation, her creatine level started to decrease. She was discharged from the hospital on the 14th day after transplantation. After 1 month, her serum creatinine level reduced to 1.12 mg/dL. After 3 years of transplantation, her serum creatinine level was 1.2 mg/dL. The simultaneous implantation of the polytetrafluoroethylene graft and renal transplantation was feasible as well as safe, with no infectious complications and stable renal function noted on long time follow-up. Although our case was rare, it emphasizes the need for transplant surgeons to gain surgical skills for vascular surgery using vascular grafts.

Abstract: Creatinine is the end result of the metabolism of muscle creatine phosphate which was synthesized in the kidney. Serum creatinine level can normally decrease during pregnancy due to hyperfiltation of the renal glomeruli. Estimation of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) with CKD-EPI formula is beneficially used in populations with GFR >60 ml/min/1.73m2 especially in pregnant women. The creatinine levels of normal pregnant women are lower than of non-pregnant women and pregnant women with pre-eclampsia. This study was aimed to obtain the serum creatinine level and estimated GFR (eGFR) in normal pregnant women. This was a descriptive observational study with a cross sectional design. Samples were obtained by using non-probability sampling of purposive sampling method. Blood samples of 30 normal pregnant women were obtained at three Public Health Centers (Minanga, Sario, and Bahu Manado) from October to November 2017. The laboratory examinations revealed that all samples (100%) showed decreased serum creatinine levels with a mean of 0.53 mg/dL and increased eGRF >90 ml/min/1.73m2. Conclusion: During pregnancy, there was an increase in eGFR and a decrease in serum creatinine level in all trimesters.Keywords: normal pregnant women, serum creatinine, eGFR Abstrak: Kreatinin merupakan hasil akhir metabolisme dari kreatin fosfat otot, yang awalnya disintesis di ginjal. Pemeriksaan kreatinin sering digunakan untuk mengetahui fungsi ginjal. Kadar kreatinin serum normalnya dapat menurun selama kehamilan karena terjadi hiperfiltasi glomerulus ginjal. Estimasi Laju Filtrasi Glomerulus (eLFG) dengan formula CKD-EPI lebih baik digunakan pada populasi dengan laju filtrasi glomerulus >60 ml/min/1,73m2 khususnya wanita hamil. Kadar kreatinin wanita hamil normal lebih rendah daripada wanita tidak hamil dan wanita hamil dengan pre-eklampsi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui gamabaran kreatinin serum dan eLFG pada wanita hamil normal. Jenis penelitian ialah deskriptif observasional dengan desain potong lintang. Sampel diambil dengan cara non-probability sampling jenis purposive sampling. Sampel penelitian ialah sampel darah dari 30 wanita hamil normal yang memeriksakan diri di Puskesmas Minanga, Sario, dan Bahu selama bulan Oktober-November 2017. Berdasarkan hasil pemeriksaan laboratorium didapatkan 30 orang (100%) wanita hamil normal mengalami penurunan kreatinin dengan rerata 0,53 mg/dL dan peningkatan laju filtrasi glomerulus dengan nilai eLFG >90 ml/min/1,73m2. Simpulan: Selama kehamilan terjadi peningkatan eLFG dan penurunan kreatinin serum pada semua trimester.Kata kunci: wanita hamil normal, kreatinin serum, eLFG
