Acta Med Indones
April 2024
Background: Chronic kidney disease-associated pruritus (CKD-aP) mainly occurs in hemodialysis (HD) patients and could persist in kidney transplant (KT) recipients. This study aims to compare the severity, correlation of various biochemical factors, and quality of life (QoL) concerning pruritus in CKD.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on HD and KT recipients with chronic pruritus, where the 5-Dimensional (5-D) Itch Scale and Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) were used to evaluate pruritus severity and QoL.
Introduction: Seborrheic keratoses (SK) are benign epidermal tumors with high sun exposure as a major risk factor. Vitamin D deficiency is also thought to play a role in its pathogenesis. There has been no data regarding SK, calcidiol level, vitamin D intake, and sun index (SI) among people living in coastal areas in Indonesia.

Methods: An analytical cross-sectional study was conducted at Cilincing Municipal Health Center in Jakarta in October 2022.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the relationship between dermoscopy photoaging scale (DPAS) and sun exposure in a coastal population, focusing on how UV light contributes to photoaging.
- Conducted on 100 adults in Cilincing, Jakarta, the research revealed that high DPAS scores (indicating more photoaging) were linked to factors like age, gender, skin type, and smoking habits, but not to sun exposure levels.
- Results showed men exhibited slightly higher DPAS scores, with cheek areas showing the most significant aging signs, yet there was no correlation between DPAS scores and the documented sun index.
Background: A growing body of evidence links psoriasis to several metabolic disorders, but the causal relationship between psoriasis and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) remains understudied.
Purpose: To measure the correlation between the severity of psoriasis and the degree of NAFLD.
Patients And Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on adult patients with psoriasis in the Dermatovenereology Outpatient Clinic of Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital from December 2017 through February 2018.
