Renal Survival of Chronic Kidney Disease Patients in a Tertiary Referral Hospital in Malaysia
Saudi J Kidney Dis Transpl. 2023 Jul 1;34(4):355-364. doi: 10.4103/1319-2442.395452. Epub 2024 Feb 12.ABSTRACTChronic kidney disease (CKD) represents a major public health issue, which then progresses to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) sooner or later. This retrospective cohort study aimed to determine the renal survival time of CKD patients. In total, 247 CKD patients in one of the tertiary referral hospitals in Malaysia between January 2005 and December 2015 were enrolled. All CKD patients were included if they were dependent on dialysis. Patients who were transferred out and those with incomplete records were excluded fr...

Renal Allograft Malakoplakia Presenting as a Pseudotumoral Lesion
We describe a case of grafi malakoplakia in an adult female, who presented with dull aching pain in the right loin, fever, and vomiting. Ultrasonography of the kidney graft showed a heterogeneous lesion (2.6 cm × 2.9 cm), raising suspicion of primary or metastatic renal tumors. The diagnosis was established after a histopathological examination of the kidney biopsy. This pseudotumoral presentation of malakoplakia can mimic renal cell carcinoma, lymphoma, fungal infections, or tuberculosis. It is essential to perform a biopsy for establishing the diagnosis.PMID:38345593 | DOI:10.4103/1319-2442.395454 (Source: Saudi Journal...

Effect of Febuxostat versus Allopurinol on the Glomerular Filtration Rate and Hyperuricemia in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease
Saudi J Kidney Dis Transpl. 2023 Jul 1;34(4):279-287. doi: 10.4103/1319-2442.395443. Epub 2024 Feb 12.ABSTRACTHyperuricemia is a risk factor for the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD). We compared febuxostat versus allopurinol in the progression of CKD and hyperuricemia in 101 patients with Stage 3-4 CKD treated with febuxostat or allopurinol for at least 6 months for hyperuricemia (>7 mg/dL) between January 2012 and December 2016. Baseline characteristics, serum uric acid (SUA), serum creatinine, and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) at entry and 6 months were compared. The primary outcome was the de...

Saudi J Kidney Dis Transpl. 2023 Jul 1;34(4):288-296. doi: 10.4103/1319-2442.395444. Epub 2024 Feb 12.ABSTRACTPain at the injection site is one of the most common complaints in the clinic and is the most important symptom affecting the quality of life of hemodialysis (HD) patients. The aim of this study was to determine the effect and compare the topical application of peppermint and cold compresses on the intensity of pain caused by the insertion of a needle into the fistula of HD patients. In this parallel randomized clinical trial, 99 HD patients were assigned to three groups receiving peppermint, a cold compress, or a ...
