The Impact

Aim: (1) To describe the whole blood content of thiamine diphosphate (TDP), a biologically active form of vitamin B1 in end-stage kidney disease patients treated with hemodialysis (HD); (2) to establish the impact of a single HD procedure on TDP blood concentrations; and (3) to describe potential explanatory variables influencing TDP dialysis related losses, including dialysis prescription, vitamin B1 dietary intake and supplementation. Methods: Single-center, cross-sectional study in 50 clinically stable maintenance HD patients. The assessment of whole blood TDP with the High Performance Liquid Chromatography method, before and after a single, middle-week dialysis session and analysis of clinical and laboratory parameters potentially influencing TDP status Results: We report a significant difference in TDP levels before and after HD sessions - 42.5 (95% CI 38.7-46.2) μg/L and 23.6 (95% CI 18.9-28.2) μg/L, respectively (p = 0.000). The magnitude of intradialytic TDP changes is highly variable among individuals and is negatively associated only with the body weight of the patients (p < 0.013). Vitamin B1 dietary intake and supplementation do not influence whole blood TDP and dialysis-related loss of TDP. Conclusions: TDP, a bioactive compound of vitamin B1, is substantially lost during the HD procedure, and the magnitude of its loss is associated with the patient's body weight but it is not influenced by vitamin B1 dietary intake and standard supplementation dose.

ABSTRACT Background: Malnutrition is a common problem in patients with end-stage-kidney-disease (ESKD) and is a strong risk factor for morbidity and mortality. ESKDis a maladaptive metabolic state and patients need to increase their dietary protein and calorie intake especially when on maintenance dialysis. In a developing country like India, the economic and knowledge barrier affects the diet of the patient. In this study we assessed the prevalence of malnutrition and the impact of dietary counselling on improvement in nutritional status of the patient. Method: This study enrolled patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis in our centre between June 2017 and June 2019. The prevalence of malnutrition was assessed by Subjective Global Assessment (SGA). Dietary history was recorded with a 24-hour dietary recall method. The patient was then periodically counselled regarding adequate dietary protein and calorie requirement and was re-assessed for the prevalence of malnutrition at the end of 6 months. Results: The mean age of study cohort was 38.76±10.85 years and 64 % were male.Hypertension (38.89%) and Diabetes (11.11%) were the most common co-morbid illnesses.The prevalence of PEW was 92% at baseline and 86% at the end of 6 months of follow up. There was a significant increase in BMI from 19.97 to 20.38 (p=0.022). Most of the study patients were from very low socioeconomic status (78% Class V modified Prasad's scale). Conclusions: There is a very high prevalence of protein-energy malnutrition among ESKD patients on maintenance haemodialysis. Nutritional counselling resulted in statistically significant improvement in the prevalence of malnutrition. Hence,nutritional counselling must be given regularly to patients with kidney disease.

Abstract Background Patients with end-stage kidney disease experience serious complications which affect their lives. Few studies have investigated the patients’ quality of life qualitatively from the perspective of family caregivers as the closest individuals to the patients. The family caregivers are directly involved in the patients’ disease progression and observe the changes, problems, and complications of disease and hemodialysis. This study aimed to explain the components of quality of life in hemodialysis patients from the family caregivers’ perspective. Methods In this qualitative inductive content analysis, 16 family caregivers of hemodialysis patients, presenting to the teaching hospitals of Tehran, Iran, were enrolled via maximum-variation purposive sampling; sampling continued until reaching data saturation. The data collection method included in-depth semi-structured interviews. Also, an inductive content analysis was carried out based on Elo and Kyngas’ method. Results A total of 311 codes, 19 subcategories, eight generic categories, and three main categories were extracted in this study. The main (and the generic categories) included mental and psychological problems (depressive mood, incompatibility and reduced tolerance, mental exhaustion, and deprivation of basic needs), social disruption (social isolation and social threats), and physical problems (general complications and disabilities and defects in the normal functioning of organs). Conclusion Family caregivers can be valuable information sources for formal caregivers to plan treatment for chronically ill patients who are mainly cared for at home. The present results can help us increase the existing knowledge on the impact of end-stage kidney disease and hemodialysis on the patients’ quality of life. It seems that addressing the issues related to quality of life, mentioned by the caregivers, can positively affect the patients’ quality of life and even reduce the caregivers’ burden.
