Subjects with chronic renal failure have a greatly increased risk of coronary heart disease and dyslipidemia. Relatively few studies have examined the relationship of chronic renal failure to lipoprotein (Lp)(a) concentrations, an important risk factor for coronary heart disease. Diabetic subjects have been reported to have both increased Lp(a) concentrations and an increased risk of renal failure, thereby possibly confounding the Lp(a)-renal failure association. The association between Lp(a) and chronic renal failure in 359 control subjects and 111 subjects with renal failure was examined. Lp(a) (in milligrams per deciliter) was elevated in subjects with chronic renal failure, regardless of ethnicity (Mexican Americans, 19.8 +/- 2.7 versus 14.1 +/- 1.3; P = 0.03; non-Hispanic white patients, 24.9 +/- 3.0 versus 16.3 +/- 1.2; P = 0.006;). These differences persisted after adjustment for diabetes and ethnicity (P < 0.001). The type of treatment for chronic renal failure (diet, hemodialysis, or peritoneal dialysis) did not have an effect on Lp(a) concentrations. Lp(a) levels were not correlated with the level of creatinine in subjects with chronic renal failure. Thus, the elevation of Lp(a) levels in renal failure must occur early in renal failure, or alternatively, elevated Lp(a) levels may promote progression to chronic renal failure. These results indicate that Lp(a) concentrations are increased in chronic renal failure and may increase the risk for coronary heart disease in these subjects.

Background : Chronic kidney disease is a pathophysiological process with diverse etiology, resulting in a progressive decline in renal function, and the patients generally end up with kidney failure. Family support is a support given by families who have blood relations in favor of the health of patients with kidney failure. Quality of life is an individual perception of patients with kidney failure toward his position in life. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship of family support with the quality of life of patients with chronic renal failure undergoing hemodialysis therapy in PMI hospital Bogor. The method of this research uses uses descriptively analytic type with cross sectional approach. The sample of this researchconsists of 129 respondents. The sampling was taken by accidental sampling technique. The instrument in this study were questionnaires family support and quality of life. The data were analyzed by using univariate and bivariate (using the chi-square test with α = 0.05). Result : Based on the research results through 88 respondents that (68.2%) whose family support is good, then 86 respondents (93%) have a good quality of life, and 2 respondents (5%) have less quality of life. From 8 respondents (6.2%) whose family support is less, 1 respondent (2%) have a good quality of life, and 7 respondents (19%) have a less quality of life. Based on statistical test p = 0.000, it can be concluded that there is significant correlation between both variables. Clonclusion : It is concluded that there is a relationship between family support and the quality of life among patients with chronic renal failure undergoing hemodialysis therapy in PMI hospital Bogor. Through this research, it is expected to be used as a source reference of information for nurses in hemodialysis room.

Background: This study sought to determine the prevalence of carotid artery calcifications (CACs) and pulp stones detected on panoramic radiographs (PRs) and ascertain their correlation. Methods: A total of 2013 digital PRs were retrospectively retrieved and thoroughly examined to determine the prevalence of CACs and pulp stones, their correlation with patient age and gender, and the relationship between the presence of pulps stones and radiographically detectable CACs. Results: The prevalence of CACs on PRs was 2.0%; the prevalence of pulp stones was 4.6%. There was no statistical relationship between pulp stones and CACs (p = 0.714). Older patients exhibited a significantly higher prevalence of CACs than younger patients (p < 0.001); pulp stones were statistically more prevalent in younger patients than older patients (p = 0.001). There were no significant differences between male and females in terms of the prevalence of either CACs or pulp stones (p = 0.087 and p = 0.278, respectively). Conclusions: Dentists should be trained to detect CACs on PRs belonging to patients older than 40 to exclude the presence of CACs. Moreover, pulp stones do not function as a diagnostic marker for CACs.

Chronic Renal Failure (CRF) is a disease caused due to kidney damage or deterioration glomerulus filtrate rate (GFR/GFR/Glomerular Filtration Rate) <60 ml/min /1.73 m2 for ≥ 3 months. One of the complications that often appears in CRF is anemia or decrease of hemoglobin level in the blood that is related to the relationship intake of nutrients (protein, vitamin C, folic acid and iron). The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship Intake of nutrients (protein, vitamin C, folic acid and iron) on Hb levels of chronic renal failure patients undergoing hemodialysis in RSI Siti Khadijah Palembang. This type of research is an observational analytic with a cross-sectional study design. Population in this study were all outpatients with chronic renal failure undergoing hemodialysis in RSI Siti Khadijah Palembang with total research subjects were 50 subjects, taken using purposive sampling and analyzed using chi-square test. The result showed that there are 52% of patients with chronic renal failure are male more than female. The aged 50-64 years old is 44% and 30-49 years old are 32%. The percentage of outpatients who had an adequate intake of protein, vitamin C, folic acid and iron were 28%, 10%, 0%, and 18% respectively, meanwhile, most of the patients had low hemoglobin levels which were 94%. There was not a significant association between intake of nutrients (protein, vitamin C, folic acid and iron) on Hb levels of chronic renal failure patients undergoing hemodialysis in RSI Siti Khadijah Palembang. Based on these results, should be noted again nutrient intake (protein, vitamin C, folic acid and iron) outpatient before and after undergoing hemodialysis to support the optimal outcome of hemodialysis therapy.

1. Stable strontium (Sr) has been proposed as an alternative to calcium (Ca) isotopes for the measurement of intestinal Ca absorption. The aim of this study was to compare the time course and fractional absorption of Ca and Sr, when both are measured using dual-tracer techniques. 2. 45Ca and Sr absorption tests were carried out on consecutive days in patients with osteoporosis (n = 10) or chronic renal failure (n = 7). Both tests were repeated in four patients with chronic renal failure after treatment with calcitriol (1 μg daily for 10 days). 3. The time course of Ca absorption was determined using the 85Sr (intravenous)/45Ca (oral) dual-tracer technique, and the time course of Sr absorption using 85Sr (intravenous)/stable Sr (oral). Oral tracers were administered on consecutive days with a test meal containing 5.3 mmol of Ca and 2.5 mmol of either stable Sr or Ca carrier. The fractional absorption of 45Ca and Sr at 6 h (FA360) and the absorption rate as a function of time were calculated by deconvolution. 4. The mean FA360 for Sr (20.2%) was lower than the mean FA360 for 45Ca (37.8%, P < 0.001, paired t-test), but the time course of Sr absorption was similar to that of Ca. There was a significant correlation between the FA360 for 45Ca and Sr, although the relationship was improved by including a quadratic term (R2 = 0.89, P < 0.001, significance of quadratic term, P < 0.05). After 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D treatment, the FA360 of stable Sr increased 4.29-fold, whereas the FA360 of 45Ca increased only 2.4-fold. 5. Although the fractional absorption of Sr determined by dual-tracer deconvolution was the best predictor of FA360 for 45Ca, little was lost by confining the analysis to a single serum Sr measurement taken 3 h or more after oral administration. 6. We conclude that Sr absorption is qualitatively similar to that of Ca, although absorption of Sr is much lower than that of Ca. Furthermore, the relationship does not appear to be linear. Stable Sr may be useful in place of Ca isotopes in the routine clinical evaluation of Ca absorption.
