Background: There is a rising incidence of chronic kidney disease that is likely to pose major problems for both healthcare and the economy in future years. In India, it has been recently estimated that the age-adjusted incidence rate of ESRD to be 229 per million population (pmp), and >100,000 new patients enter renal replacement programs annually. Methods. We cross-sectionally screened 6120 Indian subjects from 13 academic and private medical centers all over India. We obtained personal and medical history data through a specifically designed questionnaire. Blood and urine samples were collected. Results: The total cohort included in this analysis is 5588 subjects. The mean ± SD age of all participants was 45.22 ± 15.2 years (range 18-98 years) and 55.1% of them were males and 44.9% were females. The overall prevalence of CKD in the SEEK-India cohort was 17.2% with a mean eGFR of 84.27 ± 76.46 versus 116.94 ± 44.65 mL/min/1.73 m2 in non-CKD group while 79.5% in the CKD group had proteinuria. Prevalence of CKD stages 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 was 7%, 4.3%, 4.3%, 0.8% and 0.8%, respectively. Conclusion: The prevalence of CKD was observed to be 17.2% with ∼6% have CKD stage 3 or worse. CKD risk factors were similar to those reported in earlier studies.It should be stressed to all primary care physicians taking care of hypertensive and diabetic patients to screen for early kidney damage. Early intervention may retard the progression of kidney disease. Planning for the preventive health policies and allocation of more resources for the treatment of CKD/ESRD patients are imperative in India. © 2013 Singh et al.; licensee BioMed Central Ltd.

The incidence of heart failure (HF) in India is estimated to be 0.5–1.7 cases per 1,000 people per year, and approximately 4,92,000–1.8 million new cases are detected every year. Despite the high rate of mortality associated with HF, most patients do not receive maximal guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT). Current guidelines advocate early multidrug combination therapy with four classes of drugs, namely, beta-blockers (BBs), mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs), angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitors (ARNIs), and sodium-glucose transport protein 2 inhibitors (SGLT-2is), particularly in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). ARNIs reduce cardiac morbidity and mortality in patients with HFrEF. However, recent data indicated that only 4.8% of patients with HFrEF receive ARNI in India. Hence, at a national consensus on HF meeting, cardiology experts from India formulated a national consensus on the use of ARNI in HF based on current evidence and guidelines. The consensus states that ARNI should be used early in HF, particularly in de novo patients with HFrEF, and those with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF), irrespective of the presence of low systolic blood pressure (SBP) or diabetes. Moreover, those with HFrEF on renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system (RAAS) inhibitors should be switched to ARNI to reduce the risk of repeated hospitalization for HF, worsening HF, and cardiac death, and to improve the quality of life (QoL). Starting ARNI during the first hospitalization is preferable, and it is safe and effective across all doses. ARNIs can also be used for secondary benefits in patients with preserved ejection fraction [heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF)] and HF with mildly reduced EF [heart failure with mildly reduced ejection fraction (HFmrEF)]. ©The Author(s). 2024Open Access.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine and its utility in solid organ transplantation need to be timely revised and updated. These guidelines have been formalized by the experts—the apex technical committee members of the National Organ and Tissue Transplant Organization and the heads of transplant societies—for the guidance of transplant communities. We recommend that all personnel involved in organ transplantation should be vaccinated as early as possible and continue COVID-19–appropriate behavior despite a full course of vaccination. For specific guidelines of recipients, we suggest completing the full schedule before transplantation whenever the clinical condition permits. We also suggest a single dose, rather than proceeding unvaccinated for transplant, in case a complete course is not feasible. If vaccination is planned before surgery, we recommend a gap of at least 2 weeks between the last dose of vaccine and surgery. For those not vaccinated before transplant, we suggest waiting 4 to 12 weeks after transplant. For the potential living donors, we recommend the complete vaccination schedule before transplant. However, if this is not feasible, we suggest receiving at least a single dose of the vaccine 2 weeks before donation. We suggest that suitable transplant patients and those on the waiting list should accept a third dose of the vaccine when one is offered to them. We recommend that organs from a deceased donor with suspected/proven vaccine-induced thrombotic thrombocytopenia should be avoided and are justified only in cases of emergency situations with informed consent and counseling. © 2021 Elsevier Inc.
