    Abstract Background: Recent research has closely linked adipocytokines to liver inflammation and fibrosis progression in patients with non-alcoholic liver disease. This study aimed to determine the relationship of serum adiponectin and resistin levels with the severity of liver fibrosis in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB), depending on the duration of antiviral therapy.
    Methods: The cross-sectional study included 75 patients with CHB divided into two groups: the T1 group (undergoing antiviral therapy for up to 2 years) and the T2 group (undergoing antiviral therapy over 2 years). The control group consisted of 40 healthy people. Serum concentrations of adiponectin and resistin were estimated with the ELISA method, while the degree of liver fibrosis was determined using FIB-4 and APRI score.
    Results: There were no statistically significant differences in the mean serum adiponectin levels in relation to the duration of antiviral therapy. Higher values of serum resistin concentration were confirmed in patients of the T1 group compared to healthy controls (p=0.001) and to the T2 group (p=0.031). The mean level of serum resistin concentration was significantly higher in the group of patients with a higher FIB-4 score (9.12±3.39 vs 5.58±3.36 ng/mL, p=0.001) and higher APRI score (17.45±3.96 ng/mL vs 4.82±1.11 ng/mL, p=0.001). A positive correlation was found between serum resistin levels and the degree of liver fibrosis (p<0.001). There was no significant difference between mean serum adiponectin levels according to the values of FIB-4 and APRI scores.
    Conclusions: Progression of liver fibrosis estimated by FIB4 and APRI scores as well as the length of antiviral treatment had a significant effect on serum resistin values in CHB patients on antiviral therapy.

    Abstract Aim To investigate the association of parameters of lipid profile and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) p<60 ml/min/1.73m2 calculated by the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) in non-dialysis kidney patients. Methods The observational, case-control study enrolled patients (n=117) recruited from the Nephrological Counselling Centre of the University Clinical Centre Sarajevo and divided into two groups: group 1 eGFR (15-59 mL/min/1.73 m2 ), and group 2 (control) eGFR ≥ 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 . Concentration of lipids, lipoproteins and apolipoproteins was measured, and atherogenic index of plasma (AIP; log(TG/HDLc)) was calculated. Results High density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDLc) and apolipoprotein E (APOE) concentrations in serum were reduced [(1.02 (0.94-1.29) vs 1.15 (1.1-1.4) mmol/L; p=0.009 and 0.035 (0.026-0.04) vs 0.041 (0.034-0.05) g/L; p=0.002, respectively)], while AIP was higher in group 1 than in group 2 (0.19±0.03 vs 0.09±0.04; p=0.013). Values less than 1.09 mmol/L and 0.038 g/L for HDLc and APOE, or higher than 0.165 for AIP (p< 0.05) were associated with the eGFR below 60 ml/min/1.73 m2. The age [OR = 1.1; 95% CI (1.05-1.17)] and AIP [OR = 8.7; 95% CI (1.18- 65.0)] were independent positive predictors, while APOE was a negative predictor of eGFR reduction rate (OR=0.01; 95% CI (0.001-0.033; p<0.001). Conclusion Changes in parameters such as HDLc, APOE and AIP are associated with CKD. The study results imply the need of the AIP calculation as routine laboratory work due to its role along with the age and APOE in the prediction of renal function decline.

    Abstract Aim To evaluate the relationship between cardiovascular remodelling and glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in pre-dialysis chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients without cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and in renal transplant recipients (RTR). Methods The cross-sectional study included 83 patients with eGFR<60 mL/min/1.73m2 (45 with CKD 3 stage and 38 with CKD 4 stage). Thirty six RTR had eGFR 67.8 (57.3-73.7) mL/ min/1.73m2 and control group consisted of 44 patients with eGFR>60 mL/min/1.73m2 . All patients were evaluated by echocardiography and X-ray. Results Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) was present in 74.7% CKD patients, most frequently in CKD 4 stage and in RTR. Calcifications of abdominal aorta (CAA) were present in 87% CKD 4, 60% RTR and in 44% CKD 3 patients. Calcifications of the mitral valve were found in 34.2% CKD 4, 25.0% RTR and in 6.7% CKD 3 stage patients. Aortic valve calcifications were most frequently present in CKD 4 stage (26.3%). The LV mass index negatively correlated with eGFR (p<0.001), and positively with parathyroid hormone (p<0.001), phosphorus (p=0.043), age (p<0.001) and diabetes (p=0.043). In multivariate regression analysis the risk factor for calcifications of the mitral and aortic valve, as well as for CAA was the decline in eGFR (p<0.001). Conclusion Renal transplant recipients have a higher incidence of CV remodelling than patients with CKD 3 and less than patients with CKD 4 stage, indicating incomplete regression of CV calcifications and LVH after kidney transplantation. A decrease of renal function represents a significant risk factor for valvular and vascular calcifications occurrence in CKD patients.

    Abstract Background: Hypertension (HT) and renal anaemia (RA) are well-established markers of cardiovascular risk in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). They appear to be the stimuli for left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), who significantly participates in cardiac complications in uremic patients. Hypertension is extremely common after kidney transplantation (KTx) and it has been observed in up to 75% of patients. The prevalence of post-renal transplant anaemia (PTA) is variable (up to 30%) and several factors such as graft function contribute towards its pathophysiology.
    Aim: The aim of this study was to analyze the impact of blood pressure and anaemia on LV remodelling in first year after transplantation comparing echocardiographic findings before and twelve months after transplantation had done.
    Methods: In five years retrospective-prospective study we followed up 30 patients with renal allograft in first post-transplant year. During the study values of systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), mean blood pressure (MBP), blood hemoglobin (Hgb), serum creatinine and creatinine clearance were monitored monthly.
    Results: Before transplantation (Tx) 86% of patients had HT, and RA was confirmed in all patients. Normal echocardiographic findings had 33% of patients and 67% of patients had echocardiographic sings of LVH. Before renal transplantation group with LVH had statistically higher the mean values of blood pressure (MBP) (p=0.053) compared to group with diastolic (LVDDF) (p=0.0047) and systolic-diastolic dysfunction (LVSDDF) (p=0.0046). The values of SBP and DBP positively correlated with LV mass index (LVMI) in the group of patients with LVH (p=0.0007 and p=0.0142). The values of Hgb was statistically higher in group with normal LV mass index compared to LVH (p=0.019), with negative correlation between LVMI and values of Hgb in the patients group with LV hypertrophy (p=0.009). After the first year of transplantation, 63% of patients showed normal LV mass index and 37% remained with echocardiographic findings of the LVH. The values of SBP and values of Hgb in both groups, as well as values of DBP in group of LVH were statistically different in compare with data before transplantation (p<0.05). The positive echocardiographic remodelling of LV significantly correlated with the increase of Hgb values (p=0.05), but without significant correlation with the decrease of the mean SBP and DBP.
    Conclusion: These results confirmed that positive echocardiographic remodelling of left ventricle after successful renal transplantation is complex process depended on many risk factors and elimination of uremia- related factors is a priority.

    Abstract Introduction: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a significant public health problem. The aim of this study was to determine the presence of early stages of renal disease in hypertensive and diabetic outpatients without previously diagnosed renal damages.
    Methods: In this cross-sectional study we studied a random sample of outpatients with essential hypertension and/or diabetes mellitus type 2 in the general practice ambulance of city Sarajevo. Renal function was evaluated by using MDRD (Modification of Diet in Renal Disease) equation and with measurement of renal biomarkers. K/DOQI classification was used to define the stages of CKD.
    Results: The study included 200 patients, of whom 75 (37.5%) were females, mean age of 54.81 ± 6.1 years, and 125 (62.5%) male, mean age 52.46 ± 8.2 years. More than half of respondents (54.0%) were hypertensive during the follow up period. Early CKD was detected in 52% respondents. Higher prevalence of early CKD was verified in the group of patients who had hypertension associated with diabetes mellitus type 2 (59.6% vs. 47.2% in hypertension group vs. 54,0% in diabetic group, p<0.05). Significant negative correlation was found between estimated glomerular filtration rate and presence of albuminuria (p<0.001), duration of hypertension (p=0.003), duration of type 2 diabetes mellitus (p=0.021), stages of hypertension (p=0.012), female gender (p<0.001) and older age of subjects (p=0.040).
    Conclusion: Our results confirmed high prevalence of CKD and the importance of early detection of CKD in high risk groups of patients in order to prevent the progression of the same. Prevention of chronic kidney disease in our country is still not carried out satisfactorily. Required is a much greater collaboration between primary care health givers and nephrologists.

    Abstract Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a complex, frequent and serious clinical problem with high rate of mortality. Therefore there is a serious need for early detection of AKI, with a tendency to detect early stage--RISK dut to start with therapy as soon as possible and prevent irreversible changes in renal function. Study's purposes were to explore the rhythm of urine neutrophile gelatinase associated lipocalin (urine NGAL) concentration changes before and after cardiovascular surgery and compare results of urine NGAL values with results of serum creatinine and creatinine clearance as main diagnostic indicators of renal function in order to define role of urine NGAL biomarker in early diagnosis of acute kidney injure. In the prospective clinical study 150 cardiovascular surgery patients were included. Basal value and concentration of urine NGAL were tested 3, 6 and 12 hours after cardiovascular surgery, and concentration of serum creatinine was tested once per day first three days after surgery. Also creatinine clearance value was calculated according to Cockrof-Goult formula. After above mentioned, rate of acute kidney injure was estimated according to RIFLE criteria. The study results showed that the value of urine NGAL was elevated above cutt-off after cardiac operation in a group of patients who developed AKI (defined according to RIFLE criteria). There were statisticaly significant difference between all four measerments (p < 0.05). There were also moderate positive correlation (0.500 and 0.502) between urine NGAL values and percentage difference of serum creatinine and creatinine clearence. All that indicate that higer values of urine NGAL are followed by higher percentage difference of serume creatinine and creatinine clearence. By using of automated urine NGAL test detection of acute kidney injure is posible 24-48 hours earlier comparing with actual results acquired by determination of serum creatinine concentration. The results of this study will indicate urine NGAL as a reliable biomarker of early acute kidney injure. A combination of early and late markers of kidney damage (urine NGAL, serum creatinine) can greatly contribute to better control the outcome of all those who are a risk group for the development of AKI.

    Abstract Background: Left ventricular hypertrophy is the most common structural cardiac alteration in chronic dialysis patients. The aim of this study was to determine the possible association of endotelin-1 (ET-1) and nitric oxide (NO) with parameters of echocardiography in order to assess their participation in left ventricular (LV) remodeling in patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD).
    Methods: This prospective longitudinal study included 40 PD patients. Serum levels of ET-1 and NO baseline and after 12 months of PD treatment were measured and compared with echocardiography parameters done at the same time of PD treatment. Linear regression analysis was used to detect independent correlations of variables.
    Results: Mean ET-1 serum concentration decreased significantly after 12 months of PD treatment compared to baseline values (p < 0.01). NO serum concentration increased significantly 12 months after treatment compared to baseline values (p < 0.01). Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) was observed in 72.5% of patients at baseline with significant reduction in LV mass index after 12 months of PD treatment (p < 0.001). On linear regression analysis serum concentration of ET-1 was independent predictors of LV mass index, as well as NO at the end of observed period.
    Conclusions: According to our data ET-1 and NO are independently related to the process of left ventricular remodeling in PD patients.

    Abstract Introduction: Starting from the point that the chronic kidney disease (CKD) is chronic, inflammatory and hypercoagulable state characterized by an increase in procoagulant and inflammatory markers high cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in these patients could be explained.
    Aim: The aim of the research was to monitor inflammatory markers and procoagulants in various stages of kidney disease (stage 1-4).
    Materials and methods: The research included 120 subjects older than 18 years with CKD stages 1-4 examined and monitored in Clinic of Nephrology, University Clinical Centre Sarajevo over a period of 24 months. The research included determining the following laboratory parameters: serum creatinine, serum albumin, C-reactive protein, leukocytes in the blood, plasma fibrinogen, D-dimer, antithrombin III, coagulation factors VII (FC VII) and coagulation factor VIII (FC VIII).
    Results: With the progression of kidney disease (CKD stages 1-4), there was a significant increase of inflammatory and procoagulant markers: CRP, fibrinogen and coagulation factor VIII, and an increase in the average values of leukocytes and a reduction in the value of antithrombin III, but without statistical significance. Also, there were no significant differences in the values of D-dimer and coagulation factor VII.
    Conclusion: The progression of kidney disease is significantly associated with inflammation, which could in the future be useful in prognostic and therapeutic purposes. Connection of CKD with inflammation and proven connection of inflammation with cardiovascular risk indicates the potential value of some biomarkers, which could in the future identify as predictors of outcome and could have the benefit in the early diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular disease in CKD.

    Abstract Diabetes mellitus (DM) is the leading cause of the end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Vascular diseases are the most common cause of morbidity and mortality in the chronic kidney disease. The aim of this study was to analyze the impact of peritoneal dialysis (PD) treatment on morphologic and hemodynamic vascular parameters of carotid arteries in diabetic type 2 and nondiabetic patients with ESRD during the period of one year after the start of PD treatment using ultrasonography of carotid arteries and their relation on uremia and PD inherent factors. Mean intima-media thickness, plaque score, peak systolic velocity, end-diastolic velocity, and carotid diameter significantly decreased 12 months after PD treatment start in both groups. Significant reduction in median serum endothelin-1 concentration after 12 months on PD treatment was observed in the group of patients with DM (7.6-5.9 pg/mL) and also in group of patients without DM (3.6-3.3 pg/mL). Also median nitric oxide concentration significantly increased after 12 months on PD compared to baseline levels both in patients with DM (25.0-34.3  μ mol/L) as was observed in patients without DM (49.6-56.5  μ mol/L). PD treatment, with the regulation of these vasoactive molecules and other vascular risk factors, significantly contributes to vascular remodeling, especially in DM patients.

    Abstract Aim: This study sought to assess whether the volume and osmolarity of contrast media (CM) influences the occurrence of contrast induced nephropathy (CIN) following coronarography procedure. CIN can be defined as an increase in the serum concentration of creatinine greater than a 25% from baseline during the period of 12 to 48 hours after the administration of radiocontrast media.
    Material and methods: We examined 100 patients without diabetes with serum creatinine concentration from 45 mmol/l to 141 mmol/l and 100 patients with diabetes with serum creatinine concentration from 46 mmol/l to 161 mmol/l who underwent coronary angiography. During procedure they received iso-osmolar contrast medium, Visipaque 320 (iodixanol-320), for group without diabetes from 40 to 340 ml and for group with diabetes from 49 to 310 ml.
    Results: CIN occurred in 27 (13,5%) of the 200 study patients.
