Exploratory correlates of vascular calcification in hemodialysis patients from a resource-limited setting biochemical markers and vascular NF- BSGLT2 expression

Abstract Objective. This study aimed to analyze biochemical determinants of calcification by assessing calcium–phosphate product, magnesium, iPTH, vitamin D3 , NF-κB, and SGLT2 expression as potential markers of vascular injury in chronic kidney disease (CKD). Materials and methods. This cross-sectional study was conducted at Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital, involving 30 adult ESRD patients undergoing chronic hemodialysis via radiocephalic arteriovenous fistula. SGLT2 expression was evaluated using immunohistochemistry with a monoclonal antibody against SGLT2 (1:100 dilution, Biocare Medical). Statistical analysis was conducted using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS version 21; IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA) and R version 4.5.1. Results. Among 30 CKD patients, vascular calcification was detected in 30% of cases.

Blood Q Creatinine Based on Sex and Age in Healthy Indonesian Geriatrics

ABSTRACT Median blood creatinine (Qcr) is necessary for an accurate evaluation of geriatric renal function. Nonetheless, there is a significant void in existing literature concerning creatinine reference data unique to the elderly. To improve diagnostic precision and clinical decision-making in this susceptible group, this study developed a corresponding Q model for serum creatinine in geriatric patients stratified by age and sex. To determine the Qcr serum and reference range creatinine concentrations, 913 healthy elderly patients (452 males and 461 females) undergoing routine examinations at clinical laboratories were studied. Creatinine concentration reference intervals were divided into 3 age groups, namely: 60-69 years, 70-79 years, and >80 years. The median and percentiles p2.5 (lower reference limit/LRL) and p97.5 (upper reference limit/URL) were determined by the study.
