Abstract Background and Aims The prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in India varies from 0.16–0.78%. The reported incidence of malnutrition in CKD patients is 37–84%. There is a paucity of data on the quantification of malnutrition and inflammation in undialyzed patients of CKD from north east of India. This study analyzed the prevalence and causes of malnutrition and inflammation in patients with CKD before the initiation of dialysis treatment. Method This study was conducted from May 2017 to May 2019 in the department of nephrology Guahati medical college hospital. Assessment of nutritional and inflammatory status was carried out in patients with CKD before initiation of dialysis. Serum albumin; body mass index (BMI); triceps skin fold thickness (TST); mid-arm muscle circumference (MAMC); and subjective global assessment (SGA) scoring were used for assessment of nutritional parameters. Serum C-reactive protein; serum albumin and serum ferritin level were used to assess the inflammatory status in these patients. Results A total of 528 (male:female= 359:169) patients with CKD participated in this study. Diabetic Nephropathy (35%) was the most common; followed by; hypertension (23%) and chronic glomerulonephritis (20 %). The evidence of malnutrition was noted in 344 (65%). The mean age of patients with malnutrition was 52.8±12.45 years with a male predominance (68%). On the basis of SGA score; malnutrition was noted in 344 patients (mild moderate [36%]; severe; [30%]); remaining (34%) were well nourished. Thus; evidence of Malnutrition was noted in 65% of patients with CKD.). Serum total protein & albumin were higher in the non-malnourished patients in comparison to malnourished (5.83±1.0 vs 5.31±1.12 p<0.05; 3.65±0.7 vs 2.62±0.74) The inflammatory markers (serum ferritin & C reactive protein) were elevated significantly in patients with malnutrition in comparison to those without malnutrition (308.15±60.18 mg/dL vs. 251.64±63.14 mg/dL; p < 0.001; 77% vs. 50%; p < 0.01). Conclusion Malnutrition and inflammation are common in patients with CKD before the commencement of dialysis. This indicates that an emphasis should be placed on the assessment and prevention or correction of malnutrition and inflammatory burden in these patients with CKD.

Abstract Background and Aims Both the relative erythropoietin (Epo) deficiency and its relationship with serum hemoglobin (Hb) are widely postulated in chronic kidney disease (CKD), but the influence of chronic inflammation and iron status on serum Epo levels is still a matter of debate, with yet divergent reported results. Therefore, we aimed to assess the determinants of serum Epo in non-dialysis CKD patients. Method Fifty-two adults with CKD and anemia (defined as Hb <12g/dL), in stable clinical condition, never treated with erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESA) entered this cross-sectional, single-center study. Diabetes mellitus, active infectious and inflammatory diseases, malignancy, anemia of other causes than CKD, current immunosuppressive therapy, iron supplementation and blood transfusions in the previous six months were exclusion criteria. The subjects were mostly men (56%), elderly (two thirds over 60 years), with advanced CKD [71% in CKD stages G4-G5, median estimated glomerular filtration rate – eGFR 14.5 (95%CI 16 to 25) mL/min], moderate anemia [Hb 9.8 (95%CI 9.2 to 9.9) g/dL], and mild to moderate inflammation [C-reactive protein 6 (95%CI 9.2 to 18.4) mg/L]. Serum Epo was assessed by ELISA (Abcam® 119522). Complete blood count, reticulocyte index, peripheral blood smear, bone marrow aspiration (Perls’ stain), serum ferritin, and transferrin saturation, were used to investigate anemia and iron metabolism. Parameters of kidney disease (CKD etiology, eGFR and proteinuria), demographic data (age, gender), C-reactive protein, serum albumin, and serum hepcidin-25 (Hep-25, Bachem® commercial ELISA kit) were also analyzed. Results The median serum Epo of the whole cohort was 4.8 (95%CI 5.1 to 9.9) mU/mL. According to median Epo, subjects were clustered in Group 1 (below median, G1) and Group 2 (above median, G2). Estimated GFR and serum Hep-25 were lower in G1 than in G2 [10.6 (95%CI 9.7 to 20.8) vs. 26 (95%CI 19.1 to 32.8) mL/min, p=0.004, and 62.6 (95%CI 51.0 to 85.1) vs. 95.4 (95%CI 77.0 to 108.5) ng/mL, p=0.03, respectively]. All the other investigated parameters were similar in the two groups. In bivariate analysis (Spearman rank correlation), serum Epo was positively associated only with eGFR (rs=0.40, p=0.003). Marginal associations with the percentage of bone marrow sideroblasts, as marker of the iron available for erythropoiesis (rs=0.25, p=0.08), erythrocyte mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (rs=−0.26, p=0.07), and reticulocyte index (rs=0.24, p=0.09) were observed. Conversely, serum Epo was not related to hemoglobin, indices of iron stores (e.g. serum ferritin and iron content in bone marrow macrophages), inflammation and nutritional status (e.g. C-reactive protein and serum albumin). In a model of multiple linear regression which explained 14% of serum Epo variation, eGFR was the only determinant: Beta 0.14 (95%CI 0.05 to 0.23), p=0.004. Also, a binary logistic multiple regression model predicting serum Epo lower or higher than the median retained the eGFR as an independent predictor, while serum hepcidin showed only borderline significance: Conclusion Kidney function is the main determinant of endogenous erythropoietin level in moderately anemic patients with advanced CKD, ESA or iron naive, while serum hepcidin-25 seems to exert a limited influence.

Abstract Background Pulmonary cryptococcosis is an uncommon infectious disease that can develop in both immunocompromised and immunocompetent patients. The severity of chronic kidney disease (CKD) was reported to be one of the risk factors for pulmonary cryptococcosis, but its clinical characteristics have not been fully assessed. The purpose of this study was to clarify the clinical characteristics of advanced CKD in patients with pulmonary cryptococcosis. Methods The present study retrospectively investigated 56 patients who had non-human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) pulmonary cryptococcosis and were treated at Saga University Hospital between 2005 and 2018.The clinical characteristics were evaluated and compared between patients with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) >45 mL/min/1.73 m2 (n = 42, early CKD) and those with eGFR <45 mL/min/1.73 m2 (n = 14, advanced CKD. Results Compared with patients with early CKD, those with advanced CKD had significantly higher rate of disseminated cryptococcosis (21.4% vs. 2.4%, p = 0.03); lower percentage of patients who recovered after treatment (63.6% vs. 92.5%, p = 0.02); and more frequent clinical features of fever (57.1% vs. 19.0%, p <0.01), pleural effusion (21.4% vs. 2.4%, p = 0.03), high white blood cell count (8550/mL vs. 6150/mL, p = 0.01) and C-reactive protein (CRP) (2.1 mg/dL vs. 0.2 mg/dL, p = 0.02), and low level of serum albumin (3.0 g/dL vs. 3.8 g/dL, p <0.01). Multivariate analysis adjusted by immunosuppressive drug use indicated the significant factors of fever (odds ratio or β value [95% confidence interval] 6.4 [1.65 – 20.09], p <0.01), high white blood cell count (1293.2 [110.2 – 2476.2], p = 0.03), C-reactive protein (0.89 [0.18 – 1.59], p = 0.01) and low level of serum albumin (- 0.34 [-0.54 – -0.14], p <0.01) in patients with eGFR <45 mL/min/1.73m2. Conclusion Advanced CKD was associated with poor clinical characteristics and outcomes in patients with non-HIV pulmonary cryptococcosis.
