We included 25 patients on hemodialysis (n = 19) and peritoneal dialysis (n = 6). CVDS-1 and CVDS-2 use multiple parameters, to determine the presence of CVD in pediatric dialysis patients. The scoring systems include renal pathology, nutrition, dialysis adequacy, residual urine output, protein catabolism, dialysis modality and some laboratory values. CVD evaluations included the left ventricular mass index, pulse wave velocity and carotid intima-media thickness measurements. The mean age was 11.1 ± 6.51 years, and the male-female ratio was 14:11. Patients on peritoneal dialysis had higher serum levels of calcium × phosphorus product and diastolic blood pressure (P = 0.013 and P = 0.006, respectively). We did not find any significant correlation between peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis patients in the CVDS-1 and CVDS-2 scores (P >0.005). The CVDS-1 system had a sensitivity of 90% and a specificity 80%. The CVDS-2 system had a sensitivity of 90% and a specificity 66%. Additionally, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of CVDS-1 was 0.913 (95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.80-1.00, P <0.001) for a diagnosis of CVD and that of CVDS-2 was 0.86 (95% CI = 0.72-1.00, P <0.001).

Drug-induced kidney disease (DIKD) accounts for approximately 8-60% of hospitalized patients and 14-28% in intensive care unit patients. Nephrotoxic agents are one of the possible causes of AKI in acute settings. Most previous studies have identified the relationship between utilizing nephrotoxic medications and the rate of AKI. Limited literature has addressed the relationship between nephrotoxic medications and the need to start renal replacement therapy (RRT). The main aim of this study was to assess the correlation between the use of nephrotoxic medications and the initiation of RRT in acute settings. This retrospective cohort study included adult hospitalized patients older than 18 years at a tertiary academic center who had received one of the following medications for more than 24 hours: angiotensin II receptor blockers, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs), thiazide, amphotericin B, aminoglycoside, vancomycin, piperacillin/tazobactam, colistin, acyclovir, cisplatin, and methotrexate. In total, 86 patients were included in this study; 25 (29%) developed AKI, and only 15 (17.4%) required RRT. Piperacillin/tazobactam (P = 0.01), vancomycin (P = 0.02), and ACEIs (P = 0.02) were the most common nephrotoxic drugs prescribed in patients who required RRT. Hospitalized patients receiving vancomycin, piperacillin/tazobactam, or ACEIs had higher chances of starting RRT.

However, because of its low sensitivity and larger variability, there is a need for novel biomarkers. Although promising, these novel markers require further assessment before achieving clinical utility. The assessment of combined urinary biomarkers is also being explored. Changes in urinary nephrin (uNephrin), urinary podocalyxin (uPCX), urinary N-acetyl-β-glucosaminidase (uNAG) and urinary 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (u8-oxodG) were estimated in healthy controls and in patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with and without microalbuminuria. In total, 30 T2DM patients with normoalbuminuria and 30 with microalbuminuria, alongside 30 healthy individuals, were recruited. Plasma glucose, creatinine, UACR, uNAG uPCX, uNephrin and u8-oxodG were estimated. The urinary markers were corrected for creatinine. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was calculated using the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration formula. All the urinary markers except uPCX showed a statistically significant increase in T2DM patients with normoalbuminuria compared with the controls (P <0.05). UACR was found to have positive correlations with all the urinary markers, whereas eGFR showed a negative correlation. All urinary markers except uPCX showed a statistically significant area under the curve (0.810 for uNephrin; 0.906 for uNAG); 0.828 for u8-oxodG) with good sensitivity and specificity. Combining the markers did not show any additional advantage in their diagnostic performance. Our study shows the importance of including tubular injury markers and their utility in combination with glomerular injury markers for early detection of diabetic renal injury before microalbuminuria sets in.","PeriodicalId":21356,"journal":{"name":"Saudi Journal of Kidney Diseases and Transplantation","volume":"36 1-6","pages":"34-47"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145811137","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}

Renal length is the most useful parameter for measuring renal size. Therefore, establishing the normal value of renal length in children is valuable, as it can serve as a baseline for the diagnosis of renal diseases and possible interventions. The objective of our study was to assess renal length in Bangladeshi children by ultrasonography. This cross-sectional study was carried out in the Department of Pediatric Nephrology, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, Dhaka, Bangladesh, from January 2019 to June 2020. In total, 369 apparently healthy children aged 1 month to 18 years were included in this study. Renal length was measured by ultrasonography by same experienced radiologist. The mean renal length ± standard deviation was calculated for each age group. The correlation of renal length with age and anthropometric parameters was tested using Pearson's correlation test. No statistical difference was found in renal length between the two sexes. The left kidney was significantly longer than the right kidney (P <0.001). There were strong positive correlations of renal length with age and anthropometric parameters. The best positive correlation was found between renal length and height (r = 0.95 and 0.94 for the right and left kidneys, respectively). Linear regression equations were obtained to predict the renal length from age and anthropometric parameters. Renal length has a strong positive correlation with body length/height.","PeriodicalId":21356,"journal":{"name":"Saudi Journal of Kidney Diseases and Transplantation","volume":"36 1-6","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145811190","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}

In the follow-up period, clinical and echocardiographic biochemical findings and the need for hospitalization were recorded. Fifteen patients (66.7%) were male, and the mean age was 62.75 years. Under the PD treatment, the average daily urine volume and ultrafiltration of the patients were 800-1000 mL and 1000-15,000 mL, respectively. Ten patients were followed for 24 months and eight patients were followed for 12 months. During the follow-up period, there was a regression in the New York Heart Association heart failure class (from Class IV to Class II in 18 patients), and a decrease in body weights and an increase in serum sodium levels in all patients. Only two patients were hospitalized for cardiovascular disease over 2 years. During the follow-up period, one patient was transferred to hemodialysis because of peritonitis.
