Abstract

Introduction. Gitelman syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder that is milder than Bartter syndrome and is often not diagnosed until late childhood or even adulthood. However, this syndrome is usually symptomatic and can result in serious clinical manifestations, such as muscle spasms that can be severe and involve the hands and feet. These symptoms are frequently observed in almost all patients, partly due to hypokalemia and hypomagnesemia. Case presentation. A 32-year-old female patient is being treated in the Internal Medicine ward of Dr. M. Djamil Padang General Hospital with the main complaint of cramping of the left hand, which has gotten worse since 1 day ago. The patient also complained that both legs were prone to cramping that went on and on since 1 month ago. The patient had been hospitalized with the same complaint and is currently taking slow release potassium (KSR) medication. Examination of the patient's limbs revealed a positive trousseau sign and carpopedal spasms. Laboratory examination of the patient showed potassium levels of 1.8 mmol/L, calcium levels of 5.7 mg/dl, Magnesium levels of 0.8 mg/dl, and electrolyte disturbances in the patient's urine. ECG results revealed a prolonged QT interval. Conclusion. Gitelman syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder and often goes undiagnosed. However, this syndrome is usually symptomatic and can lead to serious clinical manifestations. Most patients require oral potassium and magnesium supplementation, as drug therapy is usually not fully effective.

Abstract

Kidneys play an important role in potassium homeostasis. The important role of the kidneys in maintaining potassium balance is reflected in the high level of potassium disturbances in patients with decreased kidney function, especially patients with severely decreased renal function and patients who have comorbidities, such as diabetes, hypertension, or heart failure. Chronic kidney disease is characterized by abnormalities of kidney structure or function that persist for more than 3 months, have many complex causes, and have a major impact on global health status. There are several methods to measure the amount of potassium intake consumed, including a food frequency questionnaire, dietary recall, temporary urine potassium examination, and 24-hour urine potassium examination. The standard gold measurement for evaluating urinary potassium excretion is through 24-hour urine collection. This literature review aims to describe the role of urinary potassium excretion in assessing the progression of chronic kidney disease.

Abstract

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is characterized by progressive and irreversible kidney damage, leading to the inability of the kidneys to perform their functions. Chronic kidney disease causes hypertension, anemia, vascular dysfunction, uremia, proteinuria, systemic inflammation, and oxidative stress associated with cognitive impairment. Age is a population group aged 60 years or more at risk of experiencing health problems and the consequences associated with CKD. One of the common comorbidities experienced by elderly patients with CKD is cognitive impairment. Current treatment options for CKD with cognitive impairment aimed at common risk factors, including angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) and, angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), SGLT-2 inhibitors., GLP-1 RA, and DPP-4 inhibitors. Other interventions, such as erythropoietin (EPO) compensation and reduction of inflammation and oxidative stress, can help improve patients' clinical symptoms. This literature review aims to describe the relationship between chronic kidney disease and cognitive disorders that occur in the elderly.

Abstract

The need for proper nutrition and diet is fundamental in every stage of chronic kidney disease. The principle of nutritional therapy is slowing the progression of chronic kidney disease, delaying patients with CKD (chronic kidney disease) from getting kidney replacement therapy. In CKD patients, there is a disturbance of protein homeostasis, disturbance in metabolism protein, acid-base disorders, and hormonal dysfunctions. As the progression of CKD increases, nitrogen-containing products accumulate, causing a decrease in appetite. In CKD patients, intestinal absorption is also impaired because uremia causes microbiota disturbance and damage to the intestinal epithelium. These various things cause nutritional status to become often irregular, and protein energy wasting frequently occurs, thus requiring dietary adjustments in patients with CKD. In conclusion, each individual with CKD has a different nutritional therapy approach depending on the disease conditions and nutritional status of the individual. Appropriate nutritional therapy in CKD patients can reduce disease progression.

Abstract

Background: There have been many studies that say Ramadan fasting has a positive effect on reducing BMI, blood sugar, inflammatory factors, and DNA Repair. However, there are still no guidelines for fasting in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) both nationally and internationally. This study aimed to conduct a review to explore the effects of Ramadan fasting against chronic kidney disease, specifically on DNA repair, Immune System, Inflammation, and Cognitive Function in patients with chronic kidney disease. Methods: This study is a systematic literature review (SLR) with sources obtained from various reputable journal databases such as PubMed, Cochrane Library, EBSCO, and Elsevier using relevant keywords. The selected articles have passed the inclusion and exclusion criteria. A total of 39 articles that discuss fasting were obtained from Ramadan in chronic kidney disease patients on metabolic response and inflammatory markers in the body. Results: Ramadan fasting has a positive effect on the response to anti-inflammatory, expression of protective genes, markers of kidney and liver function, protective proteome, and oxidative stress. Conclusion: Ramadan fasting may provide a short-term protective effect against levels of systemic inflammation.

Abstract

Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 plays an important role in kidney disease. In several studies, the role of MCP-1 as a urine biomarker has been extensively studied. In many kidney diseases, there are elevated levels of MCP-1 in the kidney tissue and this is an important cause of monocyte infiltration in the pathogenesis of kidney damage. Elevated urinary MCP-1 levels have been able to predict outcome in proliferative kidney diseases such as lupus nephritis. However, in several studies it was also found that there was an increase in MCP-1 in diabetic kidney disease. Macrophages have even appeared early in diabetic kidney disease and are associated with the progression of kidney disease. Urinary MCP-1 levels are related to the degree of leukocyte infiltration in the tubulointerstitial. This supports inflammatory factors as part of the pathogenesis of diabetic kidney disease.

Abstract

Symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA), is a post-translationally stable catabolic product of arginine-methylated proteins that plays an important role in basic cellular metabolism. SDMA is an endogenous biomarker of kidney function that has been widely used in veterinary medicine. Symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA) and asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) are 2 constant products of L-arginine proteolysis that undergo methylation. SDMA is almost completely excreted by the kidneys after filtration making SDMA an ideal GFR biomarker candidate. Apart from that, SDMA has several advantages as a biomarker of kidney function, namely that it is not affected by non-renal factors that influence creatinine and cystatin C. Apart from that, SDMA also increases earlier than other biomarkers.

Abstract

Background: Since December 2019, a novel coronavirus called SARSCoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus) has caused an international outbreak of respiratory illness described as COVID-19. This study aimed to describe the difference in the survival rate of COVID-19 induced AKI with hemodialysis and COVID-19 in patients with CKD on hemodialysis in Dr. M Djamil General Hospitals. Also, in this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of data on the factors that may be affected by COVID-19 survival rates in patients with COVID-19 induced AKI with hemodialysis and COVID-19 in patients with CKD on hemodialysis. This study was conducted to analyze the survival of COVID-19 with initiated or regular HD patients in Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital, Padang, Indonesia. Methods: This study was conducted from January 2021 to July 2021 in Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital, Padang, West Sumatera, Indonesia. Data for this study was collected through medical records of patients admitted for COVID-19 with CKD in hemodialysis and acute renal failure induced by COVID-19 to show the demographics, comorbidities, and survival rates of the patients who underwent hemodialysis. Results: Factors associated with survival in COVID-19 with hemodialysis were COVID-19 severity and abnormal potassium serum level (Table 3). Moderate COVID-19 patients tend to survive than severe COVID-19 patients (OR 60; 95% CI 16.034 – 224.525). There was no significant difference in survival between initiated and regular HD (p = 0.829). Conclusion: There is no difference in clinical outcome from patients with COVID-19 who initiated hemodialysis or regularly HD to the survival rates.
