There are different methods to supporting kidney function in critically ill patients. The renal replacement therapy (RRT) can be conducted continuously, intermittently, or in combination. Objectives: The purpose of our study is to investigate the hemodynamic indices of dialysis patients in the ICU by two methods high flow continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) and intermittently renal replacement therapy (IRRT) of ultrasonic cardiac output monitor (USCOM). Patients and Methods: In this study conducted at Sina hospital, patients requiring dialysis hospitalized to the ICU were studied. Around 48 patients benefited from rapid CRRT or IRRT in the opinion of a specialist. Basic patient information was recorded. To check hemodynamic parameters during dialysis, USCOM was carried out to check corrected flow time value (FTc) parameters, systemic vascular resistance (SVR) and cardiac output. Results were compared between the IRRT and CRRT groups. Results: This study was conducted on 48 patients who were candidates for dialysis. Patients were divided into high flow CRRT and IRRT groups based on clinical indications. In CRRT group, 19 patients (79.2%) and in the IRRT group, 20 patients (83.3%) were male (P=0.712). Their mean age was 68.70 ± 8.25 years in the CRRT group and 68.58 ± 7.19 years in the IRRT group. All patients had cardiac output monitored using USCOM or ultrasound. The mean Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score in the CRRT group was 7 and in the IRRT group was 6, with no significant difference among them. FTc value variable or modified flow time in the carotid artery, cardiac output, cardiac index, SVR variable and mean arterial pressure in in the two groups at four evaluated times (before dialysis, 15 minutes later, one hour later and end of dialysis) from the study the difference were not statistically significant.

Considering the lack of definitive cure for COVID-19, repurposing existing pharmaceuticals is a way to find an immediate medication. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the COVID-19 outcomes in KTRs, receiving combination of sofosbuvir and daclatasvir (SOF-DAC) treatment. Patients and Methods: This research was an observational study of 12 adult kidney transplant recipients with COVID-19, admitted to Shariati hospital, Tehran, Iran (October to December 2020). All the patients received a once-daily combination pill of SOF-DAC at a dose of 400/60 mg for 10 days. Results: Around October to December 2020, 12 adult KTR patients were recruited; four patients (33.3%) died and eight patients survived (66.7%). Acute kidney injury (AKI) secondary to COVID-19 was seen in 11 patients of the study population (91.7%), including four dead cases. Two of the three patients who underwent dialysis due to kidney complications, died. The laboratory results showed that the mean level of each parameter white blood cells (WBC), international normalized ratio (INR), C-reactive protein (CRP), ferritin, D-dimer on the last day of hospital stay was significantly different between two groups of survived and dead patients at a 95% confidence level (P<0.05). Conclusion: Sofosbuvir combined with DAC for treatment of KTRs with COVID-19 infection reduced the mortality rate. Further, this medication was safe. Patients tolerated it well, and no serious adverse effects were observed. Larger studies are needed to validate these results.","PeriodicalId":16950,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Renal Injury Prevention","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-01-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45935416","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Acute kidney injury (AKI) occurs in more than 50% in ICU admitted patients. Objectives: There are few studies regarding AKI in COVID-19 patients, therefore we investigated the relationship between vitamin D3 deficiency and the occurrence of AKI in COVID-19 patients. Patients and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 69 COVID-19 patients who were hospitalized in the ward for 12 months. Their serum vitamin D3 levels were measured in the first 24 hours of hospitalization in the ward. Patients were divided into three groups based on the serum levels of vitamin D3: >50 ng/mL as normal, 20-50 ng/mL as insufficient and <20 ng/mL as deficiency status. The patients were studied until the occurrence of acute renal injury or the occurrence of death. Results: Out of 69 hospitalized patients in the ward with COVID-19, there were 39 patients in group vitamin D3<20 ng/mL, 21 patients in group vitamin D3 of 20-50ng/mL and 9 patients in group of vitamin D3>50 ng/mL. The frequencies of AKI in groups of vitamin D3<20 ng/mL, 20-50 ng/mL, and >50 ng/mL were 46%, 28%, and 23%, respectively. A significant relationship was observed between AKI and our study groups (P=0.011). Furthermore, there was a significant association between our study groups and mortality (P=0.014), ICU admission (P=0.041) and hospital length of stay (P=0.017). In another division in patients with different levels of vitamin D3 in the presence or absence of AKI, there were significant associations between patients with vitamin D3<20 ng/mL and the presence of AKI and also with mortality (P=0.042), ICU admission (P=0.024) and additionally with hospital length of stay (P=0.027). Conclusion: Our study showed significant association between vitamin D deficiency and AKI in ICU-admitted COVID-19 patients. Moreover, there were relationships between vitamin D deficiency and mortality, ICU admission and hospital length of stay. These results suggest the correction of vitamin D deficiency may be beneficial to reduce AKI in patient with COVID-19.","PeriodicalId":16950,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Renal Injury Prevention","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47562409","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
