Introduction and aim. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects kidney function, characterized by albuminuria or reduced estimat ed glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), and is influenced by factors such as etiology, pathogenesis, intensity, and progression. Ac cording to data from the literature, the efficacy of furosemide has not been much researched much in CKD patients. The study evaluates the efficacy in chronic kidney disease patients, regardless of hemodialysis, and compares its diuretic effect based on the administration route. Material and methods. A prospective observational study was conducted in a tertiary healthcare facility for 6 months (October 2021 to March 2022). 100 CKD patients who met the criteria were enrolled in the study. Data on study-relevant parameters, such as route of administration (ROA), hemodialysis frequency, hospital stay, blood urea, serum creatinine, sodium, and potas sium, were collected. Pearson’s chi-square test was used to evaluate the association between parameters. One-way ANOVA was applied to analyze the significant association between ROA and urine output. Results. Of all the study samples, 72% received intravenous furosemide and 28% received furosemide orally. There was a sig nificant difference in eGFR and urine output on admission and discharge days. There was an increase in urine output when the patient received furosemide and improvement in eGFR was found. A significant association was also observed between systolic blood pressure, sodium, and potassium. Conclusion. The study found no significant differences in furosemide efficacy in CKD patients, regardless of ROA, hospital stay, or frequency of hemodialysis, indicating similar effectiveness.
Hemodialysis dose and long-term COVID-19 outcomes – a retrospective cohort study
(Publishing Office of the University of Rzeszow, 2024-03) Stepanova, Natalia; Rysyev, Andriy; Snisar, Lyudmyla
Introduction and aim. Long-term outcomes of COVID-19 pose a global challenge, particularly impacting individuals with un derlying health conditions, including those who have undergone hemodialysis (HD). The study aimed to investigate the rela tionship between preexisting dialysis dose, measured by single pool Kt/V (spKt/V), and long-term outcomes of COVID-19 in patients undergoing HD. Material and methods. Demographic, clinical, and laboratory parameters following COVID-19 recovery, and long-term out comes, including the presence of COVID-19 sequelae, hospitalization, and all-cause mortality during a year after COVID-19 were retrospectively analyzed. Results. Out of the 195 patients included, there were 108 males (55.4%) and 87 females (44.6%), with a median age of 56 (44-63) years and a dialysis duration of 49 (31.3–85.2) months. Patients with spKt/V<1.4 had a significantly increased risk of long-term COVID-19 sequelae (HR 9.1, 95% CI: 3.4; 24.6), hospitalization (HR 7.6, 95% CI: 3.9; 14.6), and all-cause mortality (HR 8.5, 95% CI: 2.9; 25.8) within one year after COVID-19 recovery compared with those with spKt/V≥1.4. spKt/V cutoff point of ≤1.3 emerged as a significant risk factor for one-year hospitalization and mortality within our cohort. Conclusion. Suboptimal dialysis dose, as indicated by spKt/V < 1.4, is associated with adverse long-term COVID-19 outcomes in patients undergoing HD. Optimizing dialysis adequacy may mitigate these risks. Further research is needed to validate these f indings and explore interventions to improve outcomes in this vulnerable population.
