  • The research and application advances of medical imaging techniques in early renal function assessment of chronic kidney disease

    Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is now recognized as a worldwide public health challenge, and the incidence rate and hospitalization rate have significantly increased in recent years. Without prompt diagnoses and effective treatment in the early renal function damage of CKD, the symptoms will continue to worsen and eventually develop into end-stage renal disease. Functional imaging techniques such as single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS), computerized tomography perfusion (CTP), and magnetic resonance perfusion weighted imaging (MR-PWI) could be used to quantitatively analyze renal perfusion and renal filtration function. Their diagnostic values are increasingly evident and have become the research hotspot in evaluating renal function. The aim of this review is to briefly evaluate the research and application advances in the early renal function damage assessment of CKD, so as to raise the efficiency of clinical applications.

  • Application of quality control circle in increasing the number of follow-up patients in the chronic kidney disease management

    Objective To evaluate the application effect of quality control circle (QCC) in improving the number of cases received in the follow-up management of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Methods The outpatient and inpatient CKD patients who were filed in the CKD follow-up management center of West China Hospital of Sichuan University from March 10 to October 10, 2020 were selected. We analyzed the reasons that affected CKD patients’ willingness to file by carrying out QCC, improved the case collection by establishing standardized processes, broadened the collection channels, established a collective team, strengthened training management and education of CKD patients and their families, so as to increase the number of cases received in CKD follow-up management. Then, we observed the score of active ability of QCC members before and after this activity. Results After the implementation of QCC activities, the number of follow-up cases increased from 8 per month to 15 per month. The target achievement rate was 140%, and the progress rate was 87.5%. The ability of all circle members in the evaluation indicators of team training has been improved. Conclusions QCC activity can effectively improve the number of cases received in CKD follow-up management. It is helpful for the medical staff to provide better disease management for CKD patients.

  • Influence of different stages of chronic kidney disease on prognosis of patients with aortic stenosis after transcatheter aortic valve replacement: A systematic review and meta-analysis

    ObjectiveTo systematically review the impact of chronic kidney disease (CKD) at different stages on prognosis of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR).MethodsDatabases including PubMed, the Cochrane Library, EMbase, Web of Science, CNKI, Wanfang and the Chinese Biomedical Literature Database (CBM) were searched by computer to collect cohort studies on impact of different stages of CKD on prognosis of TAVR from inception to July 2020. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed risk of bias of included studies, and then, meta-analysis was performed by using Stata 15.0 software. Risk of study bias was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS).ResultsA total of 17 cohort studies were included with NOS score≥6 points. The results of meta-analysis indicated that: compared with the patients without CKD, all-cause mortality of CKD stage 3 patients at 30 day (RR=1.29, 95%CI 1.22-1.37, P<0.001) and 1 year (RR=1.24, 95%CI 1.19-1.28, P<0.001), all-cause mortality of CKD stage 4 patients at 30 day (RR=2.10, 95%CI 1.90-2.31, P<0.001) and 1 year (RR=1.89, 95%CI 1.62-2.19, P<0.001), and all-cause mortality of CKD stage 5 patients at 30 day (RR=2.22, 95%CI 1.62-2.19, P<0.001) and 1 year (RR=2.24, 95%CI 1.75-2.87, P<0.001) were significantly increased and were associated with the severity of CKD. The occurrence rates of 1-year cardiovascular mortality, postoperative acute kidney injury and bleeding events were all higher in patients with CKD.ConclusionCKD at stages 3, 4 and 5 is associated with increased all-cause mortality after TAVR, and the higher the stage of CKD is, the higher the risk of all-cause mortality at 30-day and 1-year follow-up is. Due to limited quality and quantity of the included studies, more high-quality studies are required to verify above conclusions.

  • Incidence of stigma and its influencing factors in chronic kidney disease patients without dialysis

    Objective To understand the incidence of stigma in non-dialysis chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients, and to explore its influencing factors, so as to provide a basis for scientific management of non-dialysis CKD patients. Methods Convenience sampling method was used to select non-dialysis CKD patients hospitalized in the Department of Nephrology, West China Hospital, Sichuan University between December 2019 and December 2020 as the research subjects. The general information questionnaire, Social Impact Scale and Social Support Rating Scale were used to investigate, and logistic regression analysis was used to explore the influencing factors of stigma in CKD patients without dialysis. Results A total of 300 questionnaires were distributed in this study, and 272 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 90.67%. The age of the patients ranged from 15 to 83 years old, with an average of (38.34±13.64) years old. The disease course ranged from 1 month to 18 years, with a median of 3 years. The patients’ stigma score ranged from 23 to 86 points, with an average score of (40.14±1.67) points, of which 101 patients had a score of ≥48 (with stigma), accounting for 37.13%. Logistic regression analysis showed that gender [odds ratio (OR)=1.871, 95% confidence interval (CI) (1.018, 3.347), P=0.042], place of residence [OR=2.991, 95%CI (1.645, 5.824), P=0.001], personal monthly income [OR=0.575, 95%CI (0.260, 0.857), P=0.013], received CKD self-management education or not [OR=0.468, 95%CI (0.258, 0.843), P=0.011], and social support level [OR=0.418, 95%CI (0.230, 0.737), P=0.003] were influencing factors of stigma in CKD patients without dialysis. Conclusion The stigma of non-dialysis CKD patients is at a moderate level. Female, living in rural areas, personal monthly income ≤ 3000 yuan, not receiving CKD self-management education, and low social support level are risk factors for stigma in non-dialysis CKD patients.

  • Efficacy of three types of exercise therapy on non-dialysis chronic kidney diseases: a network meta-analysis

    ObjectiveTo systematically review the efficacy of aerobic training, resistance training and aerobic training combined with resistance training on non-dialysis patients with chronic kidney diseases. MethodsPubMed, The Cochrane Library, EMbase, EBSCO, Web of Science, VIP, WanFang Data and CNKI databases were electronically searched to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of three types of exercise therapy on patients with chronic kidney disease from January 2012 to January 2022. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of included studies; then, network meta-analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.4 software and R software. ResultsA total of 22 RCTs involving 1 633 patients were included. The results of network meta-analysis showed that: compared with the control group, aerobic training, and resistance training reduced resting systolic blood pressure; aerobic training, resistance training reduced resting diastolic blood pressure; aerobic training reduced total cholesterol levels; aerobic training improved peak oxygen uptake; aerobic training combined with resistance training improved six-minute walking test. Aerobic training, resistance training, and aerobic training combined with resistance training improved glomerular filtration rate. The probability sorting results showed that aerobic training had the most significant effect on the improvement of peak oxygen uptake, C-reactive protein, total cholesterol, low-density lipoproteins, and high-density lipoproteins; resistance training had the most significant effect on the improvement of systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and glomerular filtration rate; aerobic exercise combined with resistance training had the most significant effect on the improvement of body mass index, triglycerides, and six-minute walking test. ConclusionCurrent evidence shows that aerobic training has an advantage in reducing total cholesterol levels and increasing peak oxygen uptake, resistance training has an advantage in improving blood pressure and glomerular filtration rate and aerobic training combined with resistance training has an advantage in improving walking ability of patients with non-dialysis chronic kidney disease.

  • Perioperative risk factors for chronic kidney disease after acute type A aortic dissection repair: A retrospective cohort study

    ObjectiveTo investigate the renal function recovery and perioperative risk factors for chronic kidney disease in patients after acute Stanford type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) repair. MethodsA retrospective study was conducted on patients who underwent ATAAD repair at the Xiamen Cardiovascular Hospital, Xiamen University from 2020 to 2021, and their clinical data were analyzed. ResultsA total of 255 patients were included, with 200 males and 55 females, and an average age of 52.80±12.46 years. The incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) after ATAAD repair was 56.1%. Dissection involving the renal artery [OR=2.144, 95%CI (1.234, 3.765), P=0.007], intraoperative urine output [OR=0.761, 95%CI (0.625, 0.911), P=0.004], and intraoperative red blood cell transfusion [OR=1.288, 95%CI (1.088, 1.543), P=0.004] were significantly associated with early AKI after ATAAD repair. Long-term renal function follow-up data were available for 232 patients, among whom 40 (17.2%) patients developed chronic kidney disease (CKD). Independent predictors for CKD included lower body mass index [OR=0.827, 95%CI (0.723, 0.931), P=0.003], preoperative cardiac tamponade [OR=5.344, 95%CI (1.65, 17.958), P=0.005], preoperative renal hypoperfusion syndrome [OR=12.629, 95%CI (5.003, 35.373), P<0.001], postoperative peak serum creatinine time>3 d [OR=7.566, 95%CI (2.799, 22.731), P<0.001], and AKI grade [grade 1: OR=4.418, 95%CI (1.339, 15.361), P=0.016; grade 2: OR=8.345, 95%CI (1.762, 40.499), P=0.007; grade 3: OR=9.463, 95%CI (2.602, 37.693), P<0.001]. ConclusionAKI related to ATAAD repair can recover in the early postoperative period, but both the duration and severity of AKI will affect long-term renal function. In addition, patients' nutritional status, preoperative cardiac tamponade, and renal hypoperfusion syndrome are also independent risk factors for long-term renal dysfunction.
