Insights
Patients with end-stage renal disease and lost residual renal function exhibit increased risks of thrombosis due to altered hemostasis. Preserved renal function positively impacts the coagulation profile, mitigating hypercoagulation.
Area of Science:
- Nephrology
- Hematology
- Clinical Chemistry
Background:
- Chronic kidney disease (CKD) significantly impacts hemostasis.
- End-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients on dialysis often face thrombotic complications.
- Residual renal function (RRF) may influence the pro- and anticoagulant balance.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the hemostatic status in patients with stage V, D CKD.
- To evaluate the role of residual renal function (RRF) in modulating hemostasis.
- To identify key hemostatic markers associated with thrombotic risk in CKD.
Main Methods:
- Study included 88 patients with stage V, D CKD.
- Patients were categorized based on the presence (16 patients) or absence of RRF.
- Hemostatic parameters measured: soluble fibrin, D-dimer, and protein C activity.
Main Results:
- Patients with lost RRF showed elevated soluble fibrin and fibrinogen levels.
- A decrease in D-dimer and protein C activity was observed in patients without RRF.
- Preserved RRF was associated with a less hypercoagulable state.
Conclusions:
- Lost RRF in stage V, D CKD is linked to increased soluble fibrin and fibrinogen, and decreased D-dimer, heightening thrombotic risk.
- Protein C activity is significantly reduced in CKD patients who have lost RRF.
- Maintaining RRF in stage V, D CKD positively influences the hemostatic profile.
Objective:
The aim: To study the status of pro- and anticoagulant components of hemostasis in patients with stage VD CKD depending on residual renal function.
Patients And Methods:
Materials and methods: 88 patients with stage VD CKD were studied, 16 of them had preserved residual renal function (RRF). Hemostatic parameters - soluble fibrin, D-dimer and protein C - were determined in the patients.
Results:
Results: Significant increase in soluble fibrin and fibrinogen levels along with depressive reaction of D-dimer and protein C were found in patients with stage VD CKD having lost RRF. Preserved RRF in those patients had positive influence on hemostatic profile, decreasing the degree of hypercoagulation.
Conclusion:
Conclusions: 1. In long term dialysis patients with stage VD CKD and lost RRF, significantly increased levels in soluble fibrin and fibrinogen along with decreased D-dimer concentration were found, being a key factor in the development of thrombotic complications. 2. There was significant decrease in protein C activity in patients with lost RRF. 3. Preserved RRF in patients with stage VD CKD had positive influence on hemostatic profile.

Factors Affecting Renal Clearance: Renal Impairment
One condition associated with renal failure is uremia. Uremia is characterized by impaired glomerular filtration and fluid accumulation in the body. This condition hinders the renal clearance of drugs, resulting in drug accumulation and potential...
Renal Failure: Dose Adjustments
Reduced renal clearance and elimination rate are common outcomes of renal impairment. These alterations lead to a prolonged elimination half-life and an altered apparent volume of distribution for drugs. As a result, dosage adjustments are typically necessary to maintain optimal drug levels in the body.
However, dosage adjustments...
