“…Adults were the main population of infection in the 2002 dengue outbreak in Taiwan, which is different from other countries' situation, in which the majority of mortalities were children who had DHF (5). At the same time, there were increasing numbers of patients with CKD/ ESRD in Taiwan (18,19). Both the adult population of dengue infection in this outbreak and the relatively high percentage of patients with CKD/ESRD made it possible for this study to evaluate the impact of renal insufficiency and RF on dengue infection.…”

Background and objectives: In the 2002 dengue outbreak in Taiwan, some fatal cases had the underlying disease of renal failure (RF). Physicians faced difficulty in diagnosis and treatment of these patients; however, the impacts of RF on the clinical presentations and outcomes of dengue infection have not been reported previously.Design, setting, participants, & measurements: A retrospective review was conducted of medical records, clinical presentations, laboratory findings, and underlying diseases for all cases of dengue infection in a medical center. Characteristics and outcomes of dengue-infected patients with and without RF were compared.Results: From January 2002 through January 2003, 519 dengue-infected patients were enrolled, including 412 patients with classical dengue fever (DF) and 107 patients with dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF)/dengue shock syndrome (DSS). Twelve patients died in this outbreak, and all had DHF/DSS. Twenty-one (4.0%) patients were defined as being in the RF group. The RF group had a higher mortality rate than non-RF group (28.6 versus 1.2%; P < 0.001). The severity of GFR impairment was associated with higher percentages of DHF/DSS (P ‫؍‬ 0.029) and mortality (P < 0.001). Differences in symptoms/signs and laboratory abnormalities between DF and DHF/DSS were significant in the non-RF group but not apparent in the RF group.Conclusions: The diagnosis and management of dengue infection among patients with RF must be cautious, because complicated clinical courses with a higher mortality rate were well observed.

“…In Korea, the number of dialysis centers and machines has continuously increased, and 62.1% of patients receiving RRT were being treated with HD (Son et al, 2009). An international comparison showed that Taiwan has the greatest incidence and second-greatest prevalence of ESRD (Kuo et al, 2007). Furthermore, renal disease is one of the top 10 causes of death in Taiwan, and roughly 95% of ESRD patients are on HD (Hsieh et al, 2007).…”

Background: Betel-nut use is associated with metabolic syndrome and obesity. However, the association between betel-nut chewing and risk for chronic kidney disease (CKD) is unknown. The present study was conducted to determine the association between betel-nut chewing and CKD in men. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed health-check records of 3264 men in a hospital-based cross-sectional screening programme from 2003 to 2006. CKD was defined as estimated glomerular filtration rate less than 60 ml/min/1?73 m
