【摘要】 目的 比較生血寧片和多糖鐵復合物膠囊兩種口服鐵劑在治療維持性血液透析患者腎性貧血中的治療效果。 方法 2008年12月-2010年6月間選擇40例維持性血液透析貧血患者，隨機分為生血寧片組和多糖鐵復合物膠囊組，每組20例，觀察期為8周。分別檢測兩組患者用藥前及用藥后4、8周時血紅蛋白、紅細胞壓積、血清鐵蛋白、轉鐵蛋白飽和度等指標情況。同時兩組患者均使用基因重組人促紅細胞生成素，按100~120 U/（kg·周），分兩次皮下注射。 結果 治療前兩組指標無明顯差異，治療后兩組患者的血紅蛋白、紅細胞壓積、血清鐵蛋白以及轉鐵蛋白飽和度較治療前均顯著上升，且兩組患者升高的幅度相比，生血寧組升高的幅度更顯著。治療結束時，兩組患者不良反應方面的差異無統計學意義。 結論 兩種口服鐵劑均能有效地糾正血液透析患者的鐵缺乏及貧血狀況；生血寧片組的作用更顯著，且還具備降低患者促紅細胞生成素使用量的作用。【Abstract】 Objective To compare the effect of Shengxuening piece and capsule polysaccharide-iron complex on anemia in hemodialysis patients. Methods A total of 40 patients with anemia in maintenance hemodialysis treated between December 2008 and June 2010 were randomly divided into Shengxuening piece group and capsule polysaccharide-iron complex group; the patients were observed for 8 weeks. Hemoglobin (Hb), hematocrit (Hct), serum ferritin (SF), transferrin saturation (TSAT) and other indicators were detected before treatment four and eight weeks after the treatment. While patients were used recombinant human erythropoietin (EPO) according to 100-120 U/(kg·week), twice subcutaneous injection. Results Before treatment, there was no significant difference between the two groups. Hb, Hct, SF and TSAT increased significantly after treatment in both of the groups and specially in the Shengxuening piece group. After the treatment, the difference in the adverse reaction between the two groups was not significant. Conclusions Both oral iron can effectively correct the hemodialysis patients with iron deficiency and anemia. However, Shengxuening has more significant role and may reduce the use of erythropoietin in patients with hemodialysis.
Objective To assess the possible causes of acute pancreatitis (AP) in long term peritoneal dialysis (PD) and hemodialysis (HD) patients, and to discuss the diagnosis and treatment of AP in this kind of patients. Methods The clinical data of 9 cases of AP in PD and HD patients who were admitted in the hospital during January 1993 and January 2000 were analysed retrospectively. Results The serum levels of amylase of all the 9 cases were over three and a half times of upper limit value of healthy subjects. B mode ultrasound and CT scan examinations were useful for diagnosis of AP. Eight patients recovered very well with conservative treatment, while one patient who was diagnosed as acute severe pancreatitis and complicated with shock died. Conclusion Long term PD and HD patients are predisposing to develop AP. Diagnosis of AP in these patients primarily depends on the detection of serum amylase. Dialysis treatment is indispensable for cure of AP.
Objective
To explore the vitamin K level in Chinese maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients.
Methods
MHD patients and healthy subjects from our outpatient clinic were enrolled from 1 to 30 in March 2016. Demographic data was collected. Fasting serum samples from all subjects were collected for biochemistry tests and the measurement of known vitamin K-dependent proteins, i.e. matrix Gla protein (MGP), osteocalcin (OC) and uncarboxylated osteocalcin (ucOC). We also quantified the fraction of ucOC of total OC (%ucOC). Differences of these parameters between the two groups were analyzed.
Results
We enrolled 70 MHD patients as a test group and 70 healthy subjects as a control group. There was no significant difference in MGP between MHD group and the control group [(4.1±2.2) vs. (4.4±1.0) pg/mL, P=0.441]. The value of %ucOC was significantly higher in the MHD group than that in the control group [(79.3±19.3)% vs. (51.9±13.0)%, P<0.001].
Conclusions
Deficiency of vitamin K appears common in Chinese MHD patients. Besides pathological reasons, dietary habit may also contribute to this phenomenon.
Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of intermittent hemodialysis (IHD) and continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) on patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) after bee sting. Methods A prospective observational analysis was made on patients with AKI after bee sting treated in Jianyang People’s Hospital or West China Hospital of Sichuan University between July 2015 and December 2020. According to different initial renal replacement therapy modes, the patients were divided into IHD group and CRRT group. The IHD group received hemodialysis for 4 hours each time, once a day or 3-5 times a week; the CRRT group used Prismaflex machine for continuous veno-venous hemofiltration or continuous veno-venous hemodiafiltration within 72 hours after admission, for at least 12 hours a day, followed by CRRT or IHD, depending on the patient’s condition. Both groups could be treated with hemoperfusion (HP) and symptomatic support such as glucocorticoid, blood transfusion and fluid rehydration. The IHD group was divided into IHD subgroup and IHD+HP subgroup, and the CRRT group was divided into CRRT subgroup and CRRT+HP subgroup according to whether renal replacement therapy was combined with HP. The basic information of patients and clinical laboratory examination results were collected, and the renal function recovery and mortality rates of patients in the two groups were compared, as well as the changes of laboratory indicators. Results A total of 106 patients were enrolled, 50 in the IHD group and 56 in the CRRT group. There was no statistical difference in the rate of complete renal function recovery 30, 60, or 90 days after treatment between the two groups (28.2% vs. 31.2%, P=0.758; 46.2% vs. 50.0%, P=0.721; 82.1% vs. 81.2%, P=0.924). But in the CRRT subgroup analysis, there was a statistical difference in the 30-day renal function recovery rate of CRRT+HP patients compared with CRRT alone (47.6% vs. 18.5%, P=0.031), while no statistical difference was found in the IHD subgroup analysis. After 3 days of treatment, the levels of creatine kinase of the IHD+HP subgroup and the CRRT+HP subgroup were lower than those in the IHD and CRRT subgroups, and the differences were statistically significant [(7875±6871) vs. (15157±8546) U/L, P=0.026; (10002±8256) vs. (14498±10362) U/L, P=0.032]. There was no statistical difference in 30-day mortality or incidence of serious adverse reactions between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusions There is no obvious difference in improving renal prognosis or reducing mortality between CRRT and IHD for patients with AKI after bee sting. However, CRRT combined with HP therapy could shorten the recovery time of renal function and increase the 30-day kidney recovery rate. HP may contribute to early renal function recovery in patients with AKI after bee sting, but more high-quality randomized controlled trials are needed to further confirm this.
Objective To assess the cost-utility study of renal transplantation compared with nemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD). Methods A prospective study of end-stage renal disease patients was followed up for 3 months after renal replacement therapy. The study population included 196 patients (renal transplant [RT] n=63, hemodialysis [HD] n=82 and continious ambulatory peritoneal dialysis [CAPD] n=51) from 6 hospitals of Sichuan province. Health-related quality of life was assessed by using the WHOQOL-BRIEF questionnaire. Utility scores were obtained so as to conduct CUA (cost-utility analysis). Costs were collected from financial department and by patient interview. Results The utility values were 0.539 9± 0.013 for RT, 0.450 8± 0.014 for HD, 0.512 2±0.099 for CAPD, respectively. The mean direct cost of the first three months of renal transplant was significantly higher than dialysis (RT and CAPD). Over 3 months, the average cost per quality-adjusted life year (QALY) for patients after CAPD was lower than HD and RT. Compared to HD, incremental cost analysis showed that CAPD was more ecnomical than RT. Sensitive analysis showed that CAPD was more effective than RT when ΔQALY varied in the limit of 95% confidence interval. However, the cost-utility of RT vs HD and CAPD vs HD was varied with ΔQALY level. Conclusions Cost-utility analysis showed that CAPD was a more favorable cost-utility ratio when compared to RT at early stage RT vs HD and CAPD vs HD, but which cost-utility ratio is better, we can not draw a certain conclusion.
Objective To explore the potential categories and influencing factors of chronic comorbidity treatment burden in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients. Methods Convenience sampling method was used to select MHD patients between April and May 2023 at Northern Jiangsu People’s Hospital and Jiangdu People’s Hospital as the research subjects. The general information questionnaire, Chronic Disease Comorbidity Treatment Burden Scale, and Health Literacy Scale for Chronic Disease Patients were used for the questionnaire survey. The latent class analysis was used to explore the classification of chronic comorbidity treatment burden in MHD patients, and the multi-class logistic regression analysis was used to explore the influencing factors of comorbidity treatment burden. Results A total of 450 survey questionnaires were distributed, and 406 valid questionnaires were collected, with an effective response rate of 90.22%. According to the latent class analysis results, the comorbidity treatment burden of MHD patients was divided into three potential categories. Among them, there were 26 cases in the low-burden group, 194 cases in the medium-burden group, and 186 cases in the high-burden group. The results of the ordered multi-class logistic regression analysis showed that patient age, educational level, dialysis age, number of comorbidities, and level of economic support were potential factors affecting the comorbidity treatment burden in MHD patients (P<0.05). Conclusions The comorbidity treatment burden of MHD patients can be divided into three potential categories. The age, educational level, dialysis age, number of comorbidities, and level of economic support of patients are potential factors affecting the comorbidity treatment burden in MHD patients.
【摘要】 目的 血管緊張素受體拮抗劑（angiotension Ⅱ receptor blockers，ARB）是血液透析患者常用的降壓藥物之一，可對腎臟的排鉀功能產生影響。研究通過對血液透析患者高鉀血癥的發生情況進行調查，了解并分析相關影響因素，探討ARB類藥物在血液透析患者中應用的安全性。 方法 2010年1月－2010年7月對95例維持性血液透析患者的臨床資料進行調查，比較ARB組和非ARB組高鉀血癥的發生率，并將可能的危險因素和高鉀血癥的發生率進行相關性分析。 結果 納入患者中使用ARB類降壓藥47例，未使用ARB類降壓藥48例。ARB組高鉀血癥15例（31.9%），非ARB組高鉀血癥14例（29.2%），發生率無統計學意義（Pgt;0.05）。將高鉀患者和血鉀正常患者做對比，高鉀血癥組年齡較輕[（47.69±13.64）歲，（54.50±13.54）歲；Plt;0.05]，尿量lt;400 mL者所占比例更大（89.7%，57.6%；Plt;0.05）。logistic回歸分析結果顯示，高鉀血癥的發生與年齡、透析次數、尿量相關，而與ARB藥物的使用無關。 結論 血液透析患者高鉀血癥的發生與患者的透析次數、尿量、年齡相關，ARB類藥物的使用未增加高鉀血癥的發生率。【Abstract】 Objective To analyze the risk factors for hyperkalemia and evaluate the security of ARBs application in hemodialysis patients, as angiotensin Ⅱ receptor blockers (ARBs) are commonly used anti-hypertensive drugs in hemodialysis patients, and they may affect the renal excretion of potassium. Methods The clinical data of 95 hemodialysis patients were investigated from January 2010 to July 2010. We compared the incidence of hyperkalemia in ARBs group and non-ARBs group, and also analyzed the correlation between the possible risk factors and hyperkalemia incidence. Results There were 47 patients in the ARBs group and 48 patients in the non-ARBs group. Fifteen patients (31.9%) in the ARBs group and 14 (29.2%) in the non-ARBs group had hyperkalemia, and there was no significant difference in the proportion of patients who had hyperkalemia between the two groups (Pgt;0.05). Compared with patients without hyperkalemia, patients with hyperkalemia were younger [(47.69±13.64) vs. (54.50±13.54) years, Plt;0.05], and more often had urine volume less than 400 mL (89.7% vs. 57.6%, Plt;0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that the incidence of hyperkalemia was related to age, frequency of dialysis, and urine volume, not to ARBs. Conclusion The incidence of hyperkalemia in hemodialysis patients is related to the frequency of dialysis, urine volume and age; ARBs do not increase the incidence of hyperkalemia.
ObjectiveTo discuss and analyze the sense of dignity and its influencing factors of maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients.MethodsPatients with MHD in hemodialysis center of West China Hospital of Sichuan University were selected from November 2019 to January 2020. Patients were selected by convenience sampling. The patients were investigated with Patient Dignity Inventory (PDI), Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale.ResultsA total of 150 patients were included. The average scores of CD-RISC, anxiety, depression and PDI were 61.20±14.54, 4.97±1.38, 5.90±2.42 and 41.32±16.24, respectively. Among them, 121 cases (80.67%) had mild dignity impairment, 22 cases (14.67%) had moderate dignity impairment, 6 cases (4.00%) had severe dignity impairment, and 1 case (0.67%) had very serious dignity impairment. The results of multiple linear stepwise regression showed that depression, economic burden, social support, and vascular access were all positive predictors of esteem scores (P<0.001).ConclusionsClinical nurses can aim at the main factors affecting the sense of dignity of MHD patients. And individualized nursing plan and intervention measures can be formulated to improve the sense of dignity of patients and improve the quality of life of maintenance hemodialysis patients.
