To correlate the optical coherence tomography (OCT) based morphological patterns of diabetic macular edema (DME) and prognostic biomarkers with severity anaemia in patients kidney disease (DKD). Single centre, observational cross sectional study 42 eyes DME DKD. Eyes were divided into 2 groups: Group A (Haemoglobin level above 10 g% group B haemoglobin less than g%). The OCT pattern compared between two groups. Mean age was 56.9 ± 8.1 (range 42-79). Out participants, 22 had hemoglobin more...
Kidney transplantation is the most recommended treatment for patients with end-stage kidney disease. The major problem faced allograft rejection, which can be prevented by administering immunosuppressants like tacrolimus. Tacrolimus level exhibits wide variability among individuals, making therapeutic drug monitoring important. This study aimed to understand dosing protocol of tacrolimus in transplant and assess relationship between dosage concentration levels, absence information on CYP3A5...
Abstract Background Anemia secondary to iron deficiency is common in patients with non-dialysis dependent chronic kidney disease (ND-CKD) but it unclear if oral supplementation as effective intravenous (IV) re-establishing stores. The purpose of this study was determine Heme Iron Polypeptide (HIP) IV sucrose the treatment iron-deficiency anemia for ND-CKD. Methods Forty ND-CKD were randomized; 18 HIP 11 mg orally 3 times per day and 22 200 monthly 6 months. Baseline clinical laboratory data...
Arteriovenous fistula(AVF) is preferred vascular access for hemodialysis but has primary failure in 20-60%. Studying predictors of AVF would help plan appropriate management.We studied outcomes, clinical and factors predicting their patients requiring hemodialysis.Retrospective study with creation from January 2017 to December 2018. Outcomes were immediate (< 72 h), (3 months) failure, six-month/one-year patency, analyzed predictive clinical, as assessed using Pre-operative Doppler...
Patient information leaflets are universally-accepted resources to educate the patients/users about their medications, disease and lifestyle modification.The objective of study was prepare, validate perform user-testing pictogram-based patient (P-PILs) among hemodialysis (HD) patients.The P-PILs prepared by referring primary, secondary tertiary resources. The content pictograms leaflet have been validated an expert committee consisting three nephrologists two academic pharmacists. Baker Able...
Health-related quality of life is an essential aspect concerned with the treatment outcomes. The main objective study to evaluate validity and reliability South Indian (Kannada) version Kidney Disease Quality Life-36 (KDQOL-36) instrument for hemodialysis (HD) patients. KDQOL-36 was validated by committee experts consisting healthcare providers such as nephrologists (three), senior HD staff nurse (one) clinical pharmacist (one). measurement properties variability, were determined...
Thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) as a cause of snake-bite-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) is rarely reported. Very little known about the clinical course, optimal management, and prognosis this entity. We describe series TMA compare their outcomes with those without TMA.This was single-center retrospective study patients AKI following snake envenomation admitted between January 2012 December 2017. Demographic profile, parameters, were studied. diagnosed based on presence triad...
The aim of this study is to assess the impact pharmaceutical care on medication adherence, hemoglobin (Hb) levels, blood pressure (BP), and interdialytic weight gain (IDW) among hemodialysis (HD) patients. An open-label randomized controlled has been conducted at three different hospitals HD centers. patients have into two groups [usual group (UCG) (PCG)] by block design. assessment carried out baseline, 6<sup>th</sup>, 12<sup>th</sup> months. At end study, a total number 153 followed. Out...
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is an underestimated cardiovascular consequence and a mortality predictor in patients on hemodialysis (HD). Thus, we studied its prevalence, risk factors, association with inflammation/oxidative stress, cardiac changes HD patients.This was single-center cross-sectional observational study conducted at tertiary care hospital. Patients aged >18 years for least three months were included divided into those without PH; secondary causes PH excluded. Clinical...
