The etiology of kidney failure in Indonesia: a multicenter study in tertiary-care centers in Jakarta
Background: Despite a large number of patients requiring dialysis, the etiology of kidney failure is poorly documented in Indonesia. With the aim to reduce the disease burden, it is essential to obtain more insight in the etiology of chronic kidney disease (CKD).Objective(s): In the present study, we attempted to investigate the primary renal disease of kidney failure patients from five tertiary-care centers in Jakarta.Methods: This is a multicenter, cross-sectional study of kidney failure patients receiving kidney replacement therapy (KRT), from December 2021 to July 2022. We recruited patients aged â„18 years, had been receiving dialysis for at least three months or a kidney transplantation.Findings: This study included 1,152 patients treated with hemodialysis (68.1%), peritoneal dialysis (7.5%), and kidney transplantation (24.4%). At the start of KRT, the median (interquartile-range [IQR]) age was 48 [37â58] years with low eGFR (median [IQR]: 5.9 [4.0â8.34] ml/minute/1.73 m2). Hypertension was the main comorbidity (74.2%), followed by diabetes mellitus (30.1%). The major primary kidney disease was diabetic kidney disease (27.2%), followed by glomerulonephritis (13.0%), hypertension (11.5%), and urolithiasis (10.3%). Lupus nephritis was the common underlying etiology of secondary glomerulonephritis (91%). A high rate of unknown cause (31.1%) was also observed.Conclusions: Our results suggest that diabetic kidney disease is the leading cause of kidney failure in Jakarta, followed by glomerulonephritis. This study highlights the need for a better approach on primary prevention of diabetes mellitus as well as to better recognize glomerulonephritis at earlier stage might have a significant impact on reduction of the rate of kidney failure in Indonesia.Clinical epidemiolog

Impact of phenolic-rich olive leaf extract on blood pressure, plasma lipids and inflammatory markers: a randomised controlled trial
Purpose
Dietary polyphenols have been demonstrated to favourably modify a number of cardiovascular risk markers such as blood pressure (BP), endothelial function and plasma lipids. We conducted a randomised, double-blind, controlled, crossover trial to investigate the effects of a phenolic-rich olive leaf extract (OLE) on BP and a number of associated vascular and metabolic measures.
Methods
A total of 60 pre-hypertensive [systolic blood pressure (SBP): 121â140 mmHg; diastolic blood pressure (DBP): 81â90 mmHg] males [mean age 45 (±SD 12.7 years, BMI 26.7 (±3.21) kg/m2] consumed either OLE (136 mg oleuropein; 6 mg hydroxytyrosol) or a polyphenol-free control daily for 6 weeks before switching to the alternate arm after a 4-week washout.
Results
Daytime [â3.95 (±SD 11.48) mmHg, p = 0.027] and 24-h SBP [â3.33 (±SD 10.81) mmHg, p = 0.045] and daytime and 24-h DBP [â3.00 (±SD 8.54) mmHg, p = 0.025; â2.42 (±SD 7.61) mmHg, p = 0.039] were all significantly lower following OLE intake, relative to the control. Reductions in plasma total cholesterol [â0.32 (±SD 0.70) mmol/L, p = 0.002], LDL cholesterol [â0.19 (±SD 0.56) mmol/L, p = 0.017] and triglycerides [â0.18 (±SD 0.48), p = 0.008] were also induced by OLE compared to control, whilst a reduction in interleukin-8 [â0.63 (±SD 1.13) pg/ml; p = 0.026] was also detected. Other markers of inflammation, vascular function and glucose metabolism were not affected.
Conclusion
Our data support previous research, suggesting that OLE intake engenders hypotensive and lipid-lowering effects in vivo
Prevalence and risk factors for chronic kidney disease in Indonesia: an analysis of the National Basic Health Survey 2018
Background The prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in Indonesia is rising, but the exact extent of the burden of CKD in Indonesia is unknown. To design a screening program for individuals at high-risk, more knowledge is required regarding the prevalence and risk factors of CKD in Indonesia. The latter could have a big impact on the prevention and management of patients with CKD in Indonesia.Methods For this purpose, we analysed data from The National Basic Health Survey 2018 (Riset Kesehatan Dasar, Riskesdas 2018), a descriptive cross-sectional study in 34 provinces, 416 districts and 98 cities in Indonesia. We included subjects aged â„18 years and analysed the prevalence of CKD. Using multiple logistic regression, we investigated the association between CKD and potential risk factors such as demographic factors (age, gender, occupational status, level of education), lifestyle and behaviours (consumption of salty food, consumption of fruit and vegetables, smoking, alcohol consumption, carbonated drink consumption, physical activity), comorbid conditions (hypertension, heart disease, diabetes mellitus, hepatitis, stroke, nutritional status) and others (clean water supply, pregnancy complication, access to health care).Results We included 389 093 subjects in this study out of 713 783 subjects that participated in Riskesdas 2018 survey. The prevalence of CKD was 0.5%. The survey included mostly younger adults age 18-59 years (83.1%) with a mean (SD) age of 44.3 (15.1) years. The majority of subjects were female (60.3%), unemployed (58.4%), and the proportion of obese subject was 25.4%. Hypertension was the major comorbid condition (40.8%), while the proportion of diabetes mellitus (DM), heart disease, stroke and hepatitis were quite low (3.3%, 2.6%, 1.7% and 0.5%; respectively). Despite the high proportion of hypertension, only 36.2% of subjects did receive a prescription for anti-hypertensive medication of which only 21.7% used this medication regularly. The multiple logistic regression analysis demonstrated that hepatitis was the strongest risk factor of CKD (odds ratio (OR) = 3.406; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 2.496-4.648), exceeding the risk of CKD in patients with physical inactivity (OR = 1.236; 95% CI = 1.128-1.354), low education status (OR = 1.307; 95% CI = 1.191-1.434), male (OR = 1.527; 95%CI = 1.398-1.668), stroke (OR = 1.916; 95% CI = 1.570-2.338), heart disease (OR = 2.941; 95%CI = 2.356-3.671), and DM (OR = 2.462; 95% CI = 1.979-3.063). We also observed that DM (OR = 4.280; 95% CI = 3.756-4.876) and male subjects (OR = 1.474; 95% CI = 1.352-1.606) were identified as independent risk factors for CKD in hepatitis-positive subjects.Conclusions This population-based survey confirmed the increasing burden of CKD in Indonesia and suggested that besides traditional metabolic risk factors, viral hepatitis has proven to be an independent risk factor for CKD in Indonesia. Furthermore, the risk of CKD is greater in male hepatitis patients with DM. The result of this study demonstrates the need for an aggressive screening program for patients with a high risk for the development of CKD. Apart from patients with traditional cardiometabolic risk factors, such a program should include patients with viral hepatitis.Nephrolog

Optimal water intake for the elderly: prevention of hypotremia
Aim The prevalence of hyponatremia in the elderly is quite high due to the rising of ADH and ANP concentrations which are part of eight physiologic changes. The complications are quite specific, among others, increased risk of bone fracture, declining of conciousness, and convulsion. The frequent cause of hyponatremia is high water intake. To achieve the optimal water intake designated as the highest water intake that did not cause hyponatremia and hypovolemia.
Methods A study was conducted on 31 healthy elderly subjects, selected from 107 persons using simple random sampling and exclusion criteria. By block randomisation were classified into five water-intake groups (1000-2500 mL).
Results In this study, it could be proved that 1000 mL was the optimal. It was also unraveled that the ADH levels had a role in determining the water intake volume that did not cause hyponatremia and NT-proBNP concentrations did not correlate with spot urine sodium.
Conclusion The optimal water intake for the elderly is 1000 mL per day. (Med J Indones 2009; 18: 18-24)
