Objective:To analyze acute kidney injury (AKI) frequency, risk factors and outcome in ureteric stone patients.Methods:This is an observational retrospective study performed in a single tertiary care centre in Abu Dhabi from October 2014 till August 2015. Convenient sampling was done on 152 consecutive patients who underwent decompression surgery (Ureterorenoscopy LASER Lithotripsy and DJ Stenting) for ureteric stones. Serum Creatinine was used to calculate creatinine clearance by cock croft Gault formula in all patients before and after procedure. Analysis was done on SPSS version 17.Results:Out of 152 patients who under went decompression surgical procedure for ureteric stones AKI was seen in 49(32.2%). Patients with AKI were found to be more higher age, increasedweight, bilateral stones, lower ureteric stones and with co morbidities in comparison to those who were without acute kidney injury. Patients developing AKI, 89.7% recovered either partially(20.4 %) or completely (69.3%).Conclusion:AKI is seen more in ureteric stone patients with older age, increased weight, bilateral stones, lower ureteric stones and with co morbidities. Recovery is good when obstruction is relieved.

“…The incidence of chronic kidney disease is reported to be higher in South Asian populations as compared to European populations [ 6 , 7 ]. In Pakistan, CKD is on the rise, with multiple factors being cited, for instance poor availability of health care, a faulty primary health care system, inadequate health education, insufficient government financial support, and high rates of diabetes and hypertension [ 8 ]. In addition, the lack of a national-level department in Pakistan for registering kidney diseases makes it next to impossible to assess CKD cases, the no of patients on dialysis, mortality rates, and subsequently, how funds should be allocate [ 8 ].…”

BackgroundChronic kidney disease (CKD) has become a major public health issue worldwide in the past few years. Pruritus is a common, well-recognized complication often seen in patients with chronic renal failure. For assessment of pruritus, different tools are used but these tools are unable to identify the changes and variations in the severity of pruritus. The aim of our study was to validate the Urdu-version of the Urdu-version of the 5D itch scale among patients suffering from chronic kidney disease in Pakistan.MethodThe 5D itch scale was translated from English into Urdu following translation guidelines for translation. Face and content validity was determined by a panel of experts and piloted. For retest, the Urdu version of the 5D itch scale was administered at baseline and two weeks.ResultsA total of 50 participants with end stage renal disease were recruited, and of these, 64% were males. Exploratory factor analysis revealed that the 5D–IS had 2-factor loadings: “Pattern and activity” and “Distribution” with Kaiser–Mayer–Olkin (KMO) = 0.802, Bartlett’s test of sphericity was significant (df = 28, p < 0.001). At test re-test, Cronbach’s alpha was 0.914, while the intra class correlation was 0.9160 (95% confidence interval 0.941–0.975), which is a highly significant correlation (p < 0.0001).ConclusionThe Urdu version of the 5D itch scale was found to be a valid and reliable instrument for assessing pruritus and its severity in patients with chronic kidney disease in Pakistan.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (10.1186/s12882-017-0717-0) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…It is reported to be around 10-15% worldwide, with a sharp increase in Asian countries [2][3][4][5]. CKD is associated with increased mortality, impaired quality of life, and most importantly, increased healthcare expenditures [6][7][8][9][10]. If left untreated, CKD will lead to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) necessitating chronic dialysis or renal transplantation.…”

“…As an example, in a survey of 874 patients with chronic renal failure requiring dialysis, unknown etiology (26.3%) was the most common group [17]. The two most common causes of CKD worldwide are the diabetes mellitus (DM) and hypertension [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. Glomerular diseases also constitute an important cause of growing epidemic of CKD [17].…”
