Article Synopsis
- - This study examined how oral ferric citrate hydrate (FCH) affects iron absorption in hemodialysis patients and looked at the role of hepcidin-25, a hormone that regulates iron metabolism, in this process.
- - Over six months, 268 participants were treated with FCH, and researchers tracked changes in serum iron levels to assess absorption, finding that lower hepcidin-25 levels correlated with better iron absorption.
- - Results indicated that as erythropoiesis (red blood cell production) was limited, patients experienced higher hepcidin-25 levels, leading to lower iron absorption from the intestine despite ongoing treatment with FCH.
A comparison of the utility of the urine dipstick and urine protein-to-creatinine ratio for predicting microalbuminuria in patients with non-diabetic lifestyle-related diseases -a comparison with diabetes.

Background: The utility of dipstick proteinuria for predicting microalbuminuria in non-diabetic lifestyle-related diseases compared with the urine protein-to-creatinine ratio (uPCR) and the effect of dipstick proteinuria on the cut-off value (CO) and accuracy of uPCR are unclear.
Methods: The subjects included Japanese patients ≥ 18 years old with lifestyle-related diseases who had an estimated glomerular filtration rate of ≥ 15 ml/min/1.73 m and uPCR of < 0.
Prediction of microalbuminuria from proteinuria in chronic kidney disease due to non-diabetic lifestyle-related diseases: comparison with diabetes.

Department of Internal Medicine, Yuurinkouseikai Fuji Hospital, 1784 Niihashi, Gotemba, Shizuoka, 412-0043, Japan.
Background: To suppress increases in kidney failure and cardiovascular disease due to lifestyle-related diseases other than diabetes, early intervention is desirable. We examined whether microalbuminuria could be predicted from proteinuria.
Methods: The participants consisted of adults who exhibited a urinary protein-to-creatinine ratio (uPCR) of < 0.
The oxalate level in ultrafiltrate fluid collected from a dialyzer is useful for estimating the plasma oxalate level in hemodialysis patients.

Department of Internal Medicine, Yuurinkouseikai Fuji Hospital, 1784 Niihashi, Gotemba, Shizuoka 412-0043, Japan.
Background: Patients on chronic hemodialysis are likely to develop secondary hyperoxalemia. It is, however, difficult to measure plasma oxalate levels. To measure plasma oxalate levels, rapid plasma separation, deproteinization, and acidification are essential in preventing the formation of oxalate and the deposition of calcium oxalate within the test tube.
