ABSTRACT
Objective@#To analyze diagnosis rate of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in hospitalized pediatric patients in a single center and understand pediatricians′ awareness of CKD.@*Methods@#This was a cross-sectional study. Children who were admitted to the Division of Pediatric Nephrology, Peking University First Hospital from January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2017 and met the diagnostic criteria of CKD (kidney disease: improving global outcomes 2012 guideline) were recruited. A total of 4 472 cases were enrolled. Original CKD diagnosis was collected from the home page of medical records. Actual CKD diagnosis was validated and corrected by reviewing medical records and recalculating glomerular filtration rate. The diagnosis rate and influencing factors of pediatric CKD, the distribution and etiology of actual CKD were analyzed. The comparison between groups were performed with χ2 test.@*Results@#In 4 472 cases, there were 3 470 cases in actual CKD stage 1, among which only 24 cases were in original CKD stage 1. There were 543 cases in actual CKD stage 2-3, among which only 181 cases were in original CKD stage 2-3. Three hundred and one cases were in actual CKD stage 4-5, including 290 cases in original CKD stage 4-5. In addition, there were 43 cases with unknown CKD stage and 115 cases with acute kidney injury. Compared to original CKD diagnosis, the diagnosis rates of CKD stage 1-5 were 0.7% (24/3 470), 16.7% (58/348), 63.1% (123/195), 90.7% (78/86) and 98.6% (212/215), respectively. The proportions of actual CKD stage 1-5 were 80.4% (3 470/4 314), 8.1% (348/4 314), 4.5% (195/4 314), 2.0% (86/4 314) and 5.0% (215/4 314). The etiology of actual CKD included primary glomerular disease (62.2%, 2 686/4 314), secondary glomerular disease (19.7%, 849/4 314), hereditary kidney disease (9.1%, 391/4 314), congenital abnormalities of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT) (3.1%, 135/4 314), tubulointerstitial disease (2.2%, 94/4 314) and etiology uncertain (2.1%, 89/4 314). The leading cause of end stage renal disease was etiology uncertain (31.1%, 67/215), followed by hereditary kidney disease (24.2%, 52/215), CAKUT (16.3%, 35/215) and primary glomerular disease (16.3%, 35/215).@*Conclusions@#Among actual CKD hospitalized pediatric patients, the diagnosis rate of CKD given by physicians at discharge was relatively low, especially patients in earlier CKD stages, which reflected serious lack of physicians′ awareness of CKD.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the correlation between dynamic changes in esophageal impedance and dilated intercellular space (DIS) of patients with acid-induced non erosive reflux disease (NERD).Methods From September 2013 to July 2014,a total of 35 patients with NERD and 20 healthy controls were selected and underwent 24 h multichannel intraluminal impedance and pH monitoring (MII-pH monitoring),acid perfusion test and gastroendoscopy examination.One piece of mucosa tissue was taken under gastroendoscope from the anterior and posterior walls at 2 cm above the dentate line of the esophagus.Intercellular space (ICS) of the esophageal epithelia cells was measured by software after hematoxylin and eosin staining.t test and variance analysis were performed for statistical analysis.Pearson correlation analysis was used for correlation analysis.Results Impedance baseline of distal esophagus and impedance recovery rate of patients with NERD were lower than those of healthy control group,which were (2 998±701) Ω vs (3 880±1 054) Ω and (30.1±14.0) Ω/min vs (53.0±14.5) Ω/min,and the differences were statistically significant (t=3.65,5.41;both P＜0.01).Compared with healthy control group,ICS of the esophageal epithelial cells was obviously wider (1.03 ± 0.20) μm vs (0.66±0.14) μm,and the difference was statistically significant (t=-6.57,P＜0.01).Impedance baseline of esophagus and impedance recovery rate of patients with positive acid perfusion test were lower than those of patients with negative acid perfusion test,which were (2 755±680) Ωvs (3 411±536) Ω and (25.4±13.0) Ω minvs (33.4±9.8) Ω /min,and the differences were statistically significant (t =2.99,2.03;both P＜0.05).The correlation between impedance recovery rate and ICS was negative (r=-0.70,P＜0.01).Conclusions Recurrent reflux induced injury and delayed mucosal headline may be the factors of impaired mucosal integrity in patients with NERD.The changes esophageal of impedance baseline to a certain extent reflected the degree of esophageal mucosal integrity impairment.
