Reticulocyte hemoglobin equivalent (RET-He) represents hemoglobin content in reticulocyte. Reticulocyte hemoglobin equivalent test can be used to asses iron status of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Iron deficiency happens in 40% CKD and could lead to anemia manifestation. Level of RET-He gives real-time assesment of iron availability for hemoglobin production and the level will getting lower when iron storage for erythropoiesis decreasing. Reticulocyte hemoglobin equivalent is more stabil than feritin and transferin saturation in assessing iron status. Aim of this study is to determine RET-He level in patients with CKD stage IV and V. This study is  a cross sectional descripstive study. Subjects were 96 CKD stage IV and V patients that met inclusion and exclusion criterias. Subjects conducted blood tests at Central Laboratory Installation Dr. M. Djamil Hospital Padang from July to September 2020. Examination of RET-He level was analyzed by Sysmex XN-1000 flowcytometry fluorescense method. Data was presented in frequency distribution table. The RET-He level below cutoff (<29,2 pg) indicates the need for iron suplementation therapy for CKD stage IV and V patients. Samples with RET-He level below cutoff were 48 (50%) and 48 (50%) were above cutoff.

Serum Hepcidin

Abstract Background Anemia is a severe complication of chronic kidney disease (CKD) that is seen in more than 80% of patients with impaired renal function. Hepcidin, an acute phase reactant protein produced in the liver, is a key regulator of iron homeostasis. Aim of the Work to assess hepcidin level in 45 non-dialysis patients (CKD stage IV and V with negative virology) and its relation to iron parameters. Patients and Methods A cross sectional study was conducted at Nasser Institute for Treatment and Research on 45 patients with chronic kidney disease stage IV and V. All patients included in this study were subjected to the following: Careful history taking, full clinical examination and proper laboratory investigations. Results A statistically significant difference was found between CKD stage 4 and stage 5 according to Hb., iron, TIBC, Frerretin, serum and CRP. Also, there was a significant positive correlation of serum hepcidin with serum ferretin and hsCRP, while Hb and iron were significantly negatively correlated with hepcidin. We found statistically significant decrease in Hb level, serum Iron level, and TIBC in CKD stage 5 less than stage 4. We found statistically significant increase in Hepcidin level, serum ferritin, and hsCRP in CKD stage 5 more than stage 4. We found statistically significant Positive correlation between serum hepcidin with serum ferretin among patients with CKD stage 4 and 5. We found statistically significant Positive correlation between serum hepcidin with hsCRP among patients with CKD stage 4 and 5. We found statistically significant negative correlation between serum hepcidin with Hb among patients with CKD stage 4 and 5. A statistically significant Positive correlation between serum hepcidin with serum Iron among patients with CKD stage 4 and 5. Also we reported a statistically non-significant negative correlation between serum hepcidin and TIBC. Conclusion Elevated hepcidin can predict the need for parenteral iron to overcome hepcidin-mediated iron-restricted erythropoiesis and need for relatively higher rhEPO doses to suppress hepcidin in CKD patients with negative viral markers.

Lipid aldehydes originating from the peroxidation of n-3 and n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids are increased in hemodialysis (HD) patients, a process already known to promote oxidative stress. However, data are lacking for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) before the initiation of HD. We prospectively evaluated the changes of plasma concentrations of two major lipid aldehydes, 4-HHE and 4-HNE, according to the decrease of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in 40 CKD and 13 non-CKD participants. GFR was measured by inulin or iohexol clearance. Thus, 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (4-HNE) and 4-hydroxy-2-hexenal (4-HHE) were quantitated in plasma by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry and their covalent adducts on proteins were quantified by immunoblotting. On the one hand, 4-HHE plasma concentration increased from CKD stage I–II to CKD stage IV–V compared to non-CKD patients (4.5-fold higher in CKD IV–V, p < 0.005). On the other hand, 4-HNE concentration only increased in CKD stage IV–V patients (6.2-fold, p < 0.005). The amount of covalent adducts of 4-HHE on plasma protein was 9.5-fold higher in CKD patients than in controls (p < 0.005), while no difference was observed for 4-HNE protein adducts. Plasma concentrations of 4-HNE and 4-HHE are increased in CKD IV–V patients before the initiation of hemodialysis.

Abstract Background and Aims Vascular calcification (VC) plays a major role in cardiovascular disease (CVD), which is one of the main causes of mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The study aims at early detection of breast arterial calcification (BAC) in different stages of CKD (stage 2, 3& 4) patients as an indicator of systemic VC. Method A case control study was conducted targeting CKD women, aged 18- 60 years old. The sample was divided into 3 groups; A,B,C (representing stage 2, 3 & 4 of CKD) from women who attended nephrology and Internal medicine clinics and admitted in inpatient ward in Suez Canal University Hospital. A 4th group (D) was formed as a control group and included women with normal kidney functions (each group (A, B, C, D) include 22 women). The selected participants were subjected to history taking, mammogram to detect BAC and biochemical assessment of lipid profile, Serum creatinine (Cr), Mg, P, Ca, PTH and FGF23. Results Our study detected presence of BAC in about 81.8% of hypertensive stage 4 CKD patients compared with 50% in stage 3 CKD, also in the majority of stage 4 CKD patients who had abnormal lipid profile parameters and electrolyte disturbance. Most of the variables had statistical significance regarding the presence of BAC. Conclusion Although it is difficult to determine the definite stage at which the risk of VC begins but in our study, it began late in stage 2 CKD, gradually increased prevalence through stage 3 and became significantly higher in stage 4. These results suggest that preventive strategies may need to begin as early as stage 2 CKD.

Low heart rate variability (HRV) is independently associated with increased risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD) and all cardiac death in haemodialysis patients. Long chain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC n-3 PUFA) may exert anti-arrhythmic effects. This study aimed to investigate relationships between dialysis, sleep and 24 h HRV and LC n-3 PUFA status in patients who have recently commenced haemodialysis. A cross-sectional study was conducted in adults aged 40–80 with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 5 (n = 45, mean age 58, SD 9, 20 females and 25 males, 39% with type 2 diabetes). Pre-dialysis blood samples were taken to measure erythrocyte and plasma fatty acid composition (wt % fatty acids). Mean erythrocyte omega-3 index was not associated with HRV following adjustment for age, BMI and use of β-blocker medication. Higher ratios of erythrocyte eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) to docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) were associated with lower 24 h vagally-mediated beat-to-beat HRV parameters. Higher plasma EPA and docosapentaenoic acid (DPAn-3) were also associated with lower sleep-time and 24 h beat-to-beat variability. In contrast, higher plasma EPA was significantly related to higher overall and longer phase components of 24 h HRV. Further investigation is required to investigate whether patients commencing haemodialysis may have compromised conversion of EPA to DHA, which may impair vagally-mediated regulation of cardiac autonomic function, increasing risk of SCD.

Abstract Background Chronic kidney disease (CKD), one of the most common complications of type 2 diabetes (T2D), is associated with poor health outcomes and high healthcare expenditures. As the CKD population increases, a better understanding of the prevalence and progression of CKD is critical. However, few contemporary studies have explored the progression of CKD relative to its onset in T2D patients using established markers derived from real-world care settings. Methods This retrospective, population-based cohort study assessed CKD progression among adults with T2D and with newly recognized CKD identified from US administrative claims data between 1 January 2008 and 30 September 2018. Included were patients with T2D and laboratory evidence of CKD as indicated by the established estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and urine albumin:creatinine ratio (UACR) criteria. Disease progression was described as transitions across the eGFR- and UACR-based stages. Results A total of 65 731 and 23 035 patients with T2D contributed to the analysis of eGFR- and UACR-based CKD stage progression, respectively. CKD worsening was observed in approximately 10–17% of patients over a median follow-up of 2 years. Approximately one-third of patients experienced an increase in eGFR values or a decrease in UACR values during follow-up. Conclusions A relatively high proportion of patients were observed with disease progression over a short period of time, highlighting the need for better identification of patients at risk of rapidly progressive CKD. Future studies are needed to determine the clinical characteristics of these patients to inform earlier diagnostic and therapeutic interventions aimed at slowing disease progression.

ABSTRACT Background Hyperkalaemia (HK) is a common electrolyte disorder in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and/or treated with inhibitors of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAASi). The aim of this study is to determine the severity, current management and cost of chronic HK. Methods Retrospective cohort study of patients with chronic HK and CKD, heart failure or diabetes mellitus between 2011 and 2018. The study follow-up was 36 months. Results 1,499 patients with chronic HK were analysed, 66.2% presented mild, 23.4% moderate and 10.4% severe HK. The severity was associated with CKD stage. Most patients (70.4%) were on RAASi therapies, which were frequently discontinued (discontinuation rate was 39.8%, 49.8% and 51.8% in mild, moderate and severe HK, respectively). This RAASi discontinuation was similar with or without resin prescription. Overall, ion exchange resins were prescribed to 42.5% of patients with HK and prescription were related to the severity of HK, being 90% for severe HK. Adherence to resin treatment was very low (36.8% in the first year, 17.5% in the third year) and potassium persisted elevated in most patients with severe HK. The annual healthcare cost per patient with HK was 5,929€, reaching 12,705€in severe HK. Costs related to HK represent 31.9% of the annual cost per HK patient and 58.8% of the specialised care cost. Conclusions HK was usually managed by RAASi discontinuation and ion exchange resin treatment. Most patients with HK were non-adherent to resins and those with severe HK remained with high potassium levels, despite bearing elevated health care expenditures.

Abstract Background The cardiovascular mortality of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) is 2–10 times higher than in the average population. Purpose To estimate the prevalence of abnormal cardiac function or structure across the stages CKD 1 to 5nonD. Method Prospective cohort study. Patients with CKD stage 1 to 5 not on dialysis, aged 30 to 75 (n=875) and age-/sex-matched controls (n=173) were enrolled consecutively. All participants underwent a health questionnaire, ECG, morphometric and blood pressure measurements. Blood and urine were analyzed. Echocardiography was performed. Left ventricle (LV) hypertrophy, dilatation, diastolic and systolic dysfunction were defined according to current ESC guidelines. Results 63% of participants were men. Mean age was 58 years (SD 12.6 years). Mean eGFR was 46.7 mL/min/1,73 m (SD 25.8) for patients and 82.3 mL/min/1,73 m (SD 13.4) for controls. The prevalence of elevated blood pressure at physical exam was 89% in patients vs. 53% in controls. Patients were more often smokers and obese. Left ventricular mass index (LVMI) was slightly, albeit insignificantly elevated at CKD stages 1 & 2 vs. in kontrols: 3.1 g/m2, CI: −0.4 to 6.75, p-value 0.08. There was no significant difference in LV-dilatation between patients and controls. Decreasing diastolic and systolic function was observed at CKD stage 3a and later: LVEF decreased 0.95% (CI: −1.5 to −0.2), GLS increased 0.5 (CI: 0.3 to 0.8), and OR for diastolic dysfunction increased 3.2 (CI 1.4 to 7.3) pr. increment CKD stage group. Conclusion In accordance to previous studies, we observe in the CPHCKD cohort study signs of early increase of LVMI in patients with CKD stage 1 & 2. Significant decline in systolic and diastolic cardiac function is apparent already at stage 3 CKD. Figure 1.
