“…In addition, Brazil is the third country in the world in the number of patients requiring dialysis in the long term [ 4 ]. In CKD, changes in glomerular filtration rates, whether or not associated with parenchymal changes, for more than 3 months [ 5 , 6 ] require treatment via renal replacement therapy by peritoneal dialysis or hemodialysis (HD) for maintaining homeostasis and increasing patient survival [ 7 ]. However, in several countries, HD is an experience that influences the quality of life and can be painful [ 8 ].…”

Pain in Hemodialysis Patients: Prevalence, Intensity, Location, and Functional Interference in Daily Activities

Although pain is a frequent complaint of patients with chronic kidney disease who undergo hemodialysis, few studies have assessed the functional interference of pain in activities of daily living (ADLs). Hence, the aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence, location, intensity, and functional interference of pain in ADLs of chronic kidney disease patients undergoing hemodialysis and to estimate the association of specific pain sites with severe functional interference by pain in ADLs. This cross-sectional study included patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis. The prevalence, intensity, and functional interference of pain in ADLs were assessed using the brief pain inventory. Poisson regression was used to calculate the prevalence ratio. A total of 65 patients participated in the study. The overall prevalence of pain was 89.23%; the prevalence of headache was 18.46% and that of pain in the trunk was 55.38%, upper limbs was 35.38%, and lower limbs was 60.00%. The prevalence of moderate and severe pain at the time of hemodialysis was 13.85% and 21.54%, respectively. A high prevalence of severe functional interference of pain in general activity (61.54%), mobility (56.92%), and disposition (55.38%) was observed. Pain is a frequent complaint in patients undergoing hemodialysis, mainly musculoskeletal and intradialytic, and it interferes with ADLs and incapacitates the patient. Pain was highly prevalent in the upper and lower limbs and the trunk. Furthermore, a higher prevalence of severe pain at the time of hemodialysis and functional interference of pain, mainly in general activity, mobility, and disposition, were observed.

“…The kidneys perform the filtration of creatinine, a metabolic waste generated by muscular activity (Mangan et al., 2018 ). The blood test result has been flagged due to the presence of elevated levels of creatinine, which may indicate potential impairment in renal function (Wani & Pasha, 2021 ).…”

Low‐oxalate diets are useful for treating hyperoxaluria in nephrolithiasis patients. This study was unique in examining how a low‐oxalate diet in addition to a standard diet affected hyperoxaluria and renal function tests in nephrolithiasis patients. The effects of a low‐oxalate diet were analyzed by different biochemical tests, that is, anthropometric measurements, blood oxalate test, renal function test, electrolyte profile test, and 24 h urine analysis. For this purpose, 112 patients were divided into 2 groups: Group T1 (Conventional diet) and Group T2 (Low‐Oxalate diet) for 8 weeks. Each group was tested at the initiation and end of the study. Using SPSS, the obtained data from each parameter were statistically analyzed. The results showed that a low‐oxalate diet had a positive effect on patients suffering from nephrolithiasis. Furthermore, after treatment, anthropometric measurement weight (kg) among the control group (T1) was 100.45 ± 5.65 and the treatment group (T2) was 79.71 ± 9.48 kg. The effect of low‐oxalate diet on renal function test: creatinine (g/d) among T1 was 2.08 ± 0.86 and T2 was 1.17 ± 0.13, uric acid(mg/d) among T1 was 437.04 ± 24.20 and T2 was 364.61 ± 35.99, urinary oxalate (mg/d) among T1 was 76.84 ± 10.33 and T2 was 39.24 ± 1.51, respectively. Sodium (mEq/d) among T1 was 156.72 ± 6.37 and T2 was 159.84 ± 6.31, potassium (mEq/d) among T1 was 69.91 ± 15.37 and T2 was 89.21 ± 6.31, phosphorus (g/d) among T1 was 0.96 ± 0.07 and T2 was 0.34 ± 0.27, respectively. This study demonstrated that nephrolithiasis patients with hyperoxaluria benefit from low‐oxalate diets. Hyperoxaluria patients should eat a low‐oxalate diet to use oxalate without affecting metabolism and eliminate it from the kidney without stones.

“…Such concentration of FHB is well below the standard of banked blood, which will show no deleterious effects on renal function after transfusion. CCr is a parameter that can be utilized to assess the excretory function of the kidneys ( 16 – 18 ), and renal dysfunction can be defined as a decrease of CCr (<60 mL/min) ( 19 ).…”
