Prevalence Of Diabetes Mellitus

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of erectiledysfunction (ED) at our institution in the postrenal transplant populationand to compare those patients who had ED with those who did not have ED, with respect to several patient characteristics.Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study of male renal transplant recipientswho were in attendance at the transplant clinic from April 1, 2004, toMarch 31, 2006. Erectile function was evaluated using the International Indexof Erectile Function short form questionnaire. Patients were also screened fordepression using the Beck Depression Inventory. We performed a chart reviewto obtain various patient characteristics.Results: This study involved 55 patients. Their average age was 50 years oldand the mean duration of the current transplant was 7.9 years. ED was identifiedin 28 of the patients (51%). More patients with ED were over age 50 years(64% v. 26%, p = 0.004). There was a higher prevalence of diabetes mellitus(39% v. 11%, p = 0.02) in patients with ED compared with those patients withoutED. More patients with ED were depressed compared with those patientswho did not have ED (29% v. 7%, p = 0.04). These 3 factors were significantlyassociated with ED and this relationship was confirmed on multivariateanalysis.Conclusion: ED remains a common problem in the renal transplant population.The cause of ED is multifactorial, with increasing age and the presenceof diabetes mellitus and depression increasing the risk of ED.

Objectives: Proteinurea is one of the major causes of early graft rejection and high degree mortality in renal transplant patients. Our objective was to assess risk in post transplant patient for proteinurea and it’s appropriate management. Methods: This cross sectional study includes fifty adult kidney allograft recipients, transplanted in kidney transplant unit of Urology Department, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University in the period of January 2012 to December 2012. Results: In our series, proteinuria was detected in 44% of the renal transplant recipients in variant amount. In this study the male and female ratio was 7:3. There was a highly significant level of proteinuria in proteinuric group than that of non-proteinuric group [538.09 (313.36) mg/24 hr vs. 44.48 (23.39) mg/24 hr; p value <0.0001]. Acute rejection and death was found in 22% and 8% recipients respectively, which were more observed in proteinuric group. Conclusion: Based on these data, proteinuria should be monitored periodically at posttransplant period and investigation of the cause should be pursued vigorously.

Dietary Diversity Score

Obesity affects both medical and surgical outcomes in renal transplant recipients (RTRs). Dietary diversity, an important component of a healthy diet, might be a useful nutritional strategy for monitoring patients with obesity. In this cross-sectional study, the data of 85 eligible RTRs were analyzed. Demographic data, routine laboratory data, and 3-day dietary data were collected. Participants were grouped into nonobesity and obesity groups based on body mass index (BMI) (for Asian adults, the cutoff point is 27 kg/m2). Dietary diversity score (DDS) was computed by estimating scores for the six food groups emphasized in the Food Guide. The mean age and BMI of participants were 49.7 ± 12.6 years and 24.0 ± 3.8 kg/m2, respectively. In the study population, 20.0% (n = 17) were obese. DDS was significantly lower in obese participants than in those who were not obese (1.53 ± 0.87 vs. 2.13 ± 0.98; p = 0.029). In addition, DDS was correlated with nutrition adequacy of the diet. Multivariate analysis showed that the odds of obesity decreased with each unit increase in DDS (odds ratio, 0.278; 95% confidence interval, 0.101–0.766; p = 0.013). We conclude that patients with higher dietary diversity have a lower prevalence of obesity.
