An episode of clinically recovered acute kidney injury (r-AKI) has been identified as a risk factor for future hypertension and cardiovascular disease. Our objective was to assess whether r-AKI associated with preeclampsia other adverse pregnancy outcomes identify severity AKI or time interval between complications. We conducted retrospective cohort study women who delivered infants 1998 2016 at Massachusetts General Hospital. defined using the 2012 Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes...
Chronic kidney disease is an emerging problem in the majority Muslim countries. Despite uncertainties of risks involved, some patients undergoing chronic haemodialysis choose to observe intermittent fasting during month Ramadan. This study aims investigate effect Ramadan residing a tropical climate country.This prospective cross sectional recruited on regular from three centres Kuala Lumpur 15th July 2011 29th August 2011. Patients who fasted for any number days were included (n = 35, 54%...
Both physiological- and laboratory-derived variables, alone or in combination, have been used to predict mortality among acute medical admissions. Using the Modification of Diet Renal Disease (MDRD) not as an estimate glomerular filtration rate but outcome predictor for hospital mortality, we examined relationship between MDRD value in-hospital death during emergency admission.An analysis was performed on all patients admitted 1 January 2002 31 December 2008, using in-patient enquiry system,...
Abstract Background New-onset diabetes after transplantation (NODAT) is associated with reduced patient and graft survival. This study examined the clinical selected genetic factors NODAT among renal-transplanted Malaysian patients. Methods included 168 non-diabetic patients (58% males, 69% of Chinese ethnicity) who received renal between 1st January 1994 to 31st December 2014, were followed up in two major transplant centres Malaysia. Fasting blood glucose levels used diagnose within 1...
The influence of demographic and socioeconomic factors on the public's attitude towards a presumed consent system (PCS) organ donation was estimated in 2 scenarios: without with priority allocation scheme (PAS). Self-administered questionnaires were completed by 775 respondents. Using multiple logistic regressions, respondents’ objections to donating organs both scenarios estimated. In total, 63.9% respondents would object under PCS, whereas 54.6% PCS PAS. Respondents pretertiary education...

We distributed 700 pilot-tested questionnaires 82 mosques Kuala Lumpur its suburbs. The respondents were stratified 2 groups: mosque committees Jama'ah (individuals who come...
WHAT IS ALREADY KNOWN ABOUT THIS SUBJECT • Renin‐angiotensin‐aldosterone system inhibition confers cardio‐renal protection and may be achieved by monotherapy with an angiotensin enzyme converting inhibitor (ACEI) or angiotensin‐II receptor blocker (ARB). Dual ACEI ARB therapy has been examined in major clinical trials conflicting results. The prescribing pattern of dual general primary care population is not known. STUDY ADDS An increase the co‐prescribing ACEIs ARBs was observed Irish...
The festival of Ramadan is a month spiritual reflection for Muslims worldwide. During Ramadan, are required to refrain from eating and drinking during daylight hours.

Many studies have explored the effects on health outcomes, however, exploration patients' own point view pertaining practice lacking. Thus, we aimed explore experiences perceptions Muslim HD observing...
The formation and dissolution of the conductive paths in an electrochemical metallization (ECM) system is greatly influenced by mobility metal ions electrolyte, which can be utilized for sensor application. Here, we report a demonstration ECM on commercially available screen-printed electrode (SPE) strip, then monitoring concentration creatinine aqueous mixture. Prior to that, working was modified drop casting organic pentamer,...
Organ transplantation is a new treatment for end-stage organ failure. However, the total number of transplants performed in Malaysia 2012 was only 94. Rates deceased and living donors were chronically low (0.55 1.87 per million population, respectively). A sample 350 respondents mosques, hospitals, universities various places Klang Valley, Kelantan Pahang collected between October December 2013 to investigate level knowledge health care professionals (HCPs), religious leaders (RLs),...
Currently, Malaysia follows the informed consent (IC) system of organ donation; however, rate donation in country appears very low, and implementing a presumed (PC) could help enhancing donation. In determining success PC system, exploring Muslim's perception toward is crucial. We conducted questionnaire-based survey between October December 2013. Self-administrated questionnaires were distributed among 829 Muslims Kuala Lumpur. The results show that 42.8% people Muslim community are...

Introduction: Studies have shown that a compatible human leukocyte antigen (HLA) match can confer favourable effect on graft outcomes. We examined the outcomes of HLA matching in renal transplant donors Malaysia. Materials and Methods: A total 140 patients who had ABO blood type with negative T-cell lymphocytotoxicity crossmatch were included study 25% them spousal donors. No remarkable differences acute rejection rate, survival, patient survival serum creatinine level observed between...

Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitides (AAVs) are a group of disorders characterized by severe, systemic, small-vessel vasculitis. AAVs can be classify according to ANCA autoantibodies specifically myeloperoxidase (MPO) or proteinase 3 (PR3) positive as this is more clinically relevant treatment, prognosis, and outcome. There paucity data on the clinical characteristics, outcome AAV in Malaysia.
