Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major health
concern worldwide. There are limited studies which look
into the actual knowledge level of CKD among the general
population both locally and internationally. This study aims
to assess the knowledge level of CKD among patients in a
secondary hospital in Malaysia.
Methods: Consecutive sampling of patients attending the
Medical Outpatient Clinic was performed in this crosssectional
study. Respondents were given self-administered
questionnaires which contain questions on demographic
characteristics and knowledge on CKD.
Results: Out of 300 respondents, 78.6% (n=236) of the
respondents completed the questionnaire. Majority of
respondents (73.7%, n=174) scored less than 4 out of 7
marks on knowledge on CKD. Respondents who were
younger, males, having higher education status,
professionals/executives and earned higher monthly income
were more likely to have a higher mean knowledge score of
CKD. Respondents who have heard of CKD were also
significantly associated with higher mean knowledge score
of CKD.
Conclusion: The study findings suggest that our Malaysian
population is still inadequately informed on CKD, especially
those who are at risk of developing CKD and its
complications, and also among those of the lower
socioeconomic group. In order for successful primary and
secondary prevention of CKD, more importance should be
placed on increasing awareness on CKD among these atrisk
groups.

10.Relationship of serum levels of Bone Specific Alkali Phosphatase (bALP) and Alkali Phosphatase (ALP) with vascular calcification in chronic kidney disease patient on chronic hemodialysis

Background:
Vascular calcification is an important non-conventional for cardiovascular disease (CVD) in chronic kidney
disease (CKD) patients with chronic hemodialysis (HD). Abdominal aortic calcification (AAC) is reported as an independent
predictor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Bone-specific Alkali Phosphatase (bALP) and Alkali Phosphatase (ALP)
enzymes are produced and released when changes or disorders of bone and mineral metabolism occur. Given biomarker
studies such as bALP and ALP which are more often associated with patient mortality, more research will be needed to
assess whether these bALP and ALP biomarkers have a linear distribution of relationships with vascular calcification.
Objective:
This study aimed to evaluate the serum biomarker to predict calcification and further can be one of diagnosis modality of calcification in hemodialysis patients.
Methods:
A total of 75 chronic HD CKD patients were included in the study. bALP and ALP serum levels were measured with ELISA, as well as AAC measured by lateral abdominal radiographs (X-Ray).
Results:
bALP and ALP are positively correlated with AAC scores (p value <0.001 and 0.045). Multivariate logistic regression
analysis shows that history of diabetes, bALP levels, and parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels are independent risk factors for
AAC in chronic HD CKD patients. Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) shows the area under the curve (AUC) of bALP
and ALP for AAC prediction are 0.882 (95% CI: 0.801-0.962; p value: <0.001) and 0.634 (95% CI: 0.509-0.760; p value:
0.045).
Conclusion
ALP and especially bALP serum correlate closely with vascular calcification in chronic HD CKD patients
accompanied by a superior diagnostic value of bALP biomarkers when compared to ALP.
