Abstract

Objective: This study was conducted to detect hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA among blood donors in Tuban, East Java, Indonesia,  using nested Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) technique.Material and methods: Seven blood donors  with positives anti-HCV were obtained from 500 blood donors from Red Cross Blood Donor Center (Palang Merah Indonesia = PMI) Tuban, East Java, Indonesia, consisting of 375 men (75%) and 125 women (25%). Detection of anti-HCV antibody prevalence in the blood donors was done by using Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA).  The detection of HCV RNA in blood donors  sera  with positives  anti-HCV were performed using nested-PCR technique with three set of primer pairs targeting the NS5B and 5’UTR regions of HCV.  Further amplification products were visualized on a 2% agarose gel containing ethidium bromide under  UV illumination.Result: Seven positives anti-HCV blood donors sera (1.4%) were obtained from 500 blood donors sera, in PMI Tuban, East Java, Indonesia. Out of seven blood donors sera with positives anti-HCV, 6 sera (85,7%)  were positives HCV RNA by using nested PCR technique. Five HCV RNAs were detected with two set of primers based on NS5B HCV region and 1 positive HCV RNA was detected with another set of primer based on 5’UTR HCV region.Conclusion: HCV RNAs were detected in 85,7% positives anti-HCV blood donors using nested PCR technique, in PMI Tuban, East Java. Further research is needed to determine the  genotype  and  subtype  of  HCV.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Obesity is an important cardiovascular risk factor and associated with low grade inflammation in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. This study aims to assess the association between body fat with serum high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) level in CKD patients.METHODS: A cross-sectional study was performed in 71 CKD patients. Anthropometric measurements included body weight, height, body mass index (BMI), body fat percentage (BFP), skinfold thickness (SKF) of triceps and biceps were performed by trained physician. BFP was calculated using Kwok’s Formula and hs-CRP was measured by Particle enhanced Turbidimetry.RESULTS: The averaged BMI of our subjects was 25.8±4.4. There was no significant difference in BMI between pre-dialysis and hemodialysis CKD patients. Positive correlation was found between BFP and hs-CRP (r=0.266; p<0.05), while there was no significant correlation between BMI and hs-CRP.CONCLUSION: Body fat percentage was associated with hs-CRP. Hence, it will be more beneficial to assess nutritional status in CKD using BFP rather than BMI alone since it was demonstrated to correlate with hs-CRP in our studyKEYWORDS: CKD, obesity, inflammation, body fat, hs-CRP

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Sleep deprivation is strongly associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) via sympathetic overstimulation and systemic inflammation in general population. However, the significance of poor sleep quality in chronic kidney disease (CKD) is still underexplored.METHODS: This study assessed the sleep quality of 39 with non-dialysis CKD (ND CKD) patients and 25 hemodialysis CKD (HD CKD) patients using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) questionnaire. Poor sleeper was defined as individual with PSQI > 5.RESULTS: The prevalence of poor sleeper (30% vs. 60%, p=0.029) and the cummulative PSQI (ND CKD 4.5±4.4, HD CKD 8±6, p=0.038) are different between ND CKD and HD CKD groups. Among the ND CKD, there are association between short sleep duration (< 5 hours per day) with elevated diastolic blood pressure groups (r=0.421, p<0.05); habitual sleep efficiency with platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (r= 0.532, p<0.0001); daytime dysfunction with increased hs-CRP (r=0.345, p=0.032) and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (r=0.320, p=0.046). In HD CKD group, a requirement to use sleep medication was associated with elevated highsensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) level (r=0.434, p=0.030) and decreased monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (r=- 0.410, p=0.042); daytime dysfunction was associated with serum hs-CRP (r=0.452, p=0.023).CONCLUSION: This study revealed that some features of poor sleep quality in CKD patients including low sleep efficiency, daytime dysfunction and requirement to use sleep medication were associated with increased diastolic blood pressure, hs-CRP and blood-count-based inflammatory predictors. Thus, this finding prompt to pay closer attention to sleep complaints in the management of CVD risk factors in CKD patients.KEYWORDS: sleep quality, chronic kidney disease, blood pressure, inflammation
