Aim: To determine: (i) the proportion of stable asymptomatic haemodialysis patients with elevated troponin; (ii) stability of troponin values after dialysis and over a 2‐week interval; and (iii) whether high‐sensitivity troponin T (hsTnT) was associated with higher prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors or cardiovascular disease in these patients. Methods: We measured hsTnT and the fourth generation troponin I before and after dialysis in 103 stable in‐centre haemodialysis patients without ischaemic symptoms. Patients were divided into quartiles to test for associations with established cardiovascular risk factors or disease. Results: hsTnT was above the 99th percentile for the general population in 99% of haemodialysis patients compared with only 13% elevation for the troponin I assay (P < 0.001). Median pre‐dialysis hsTnT concentrations were unchanged after a 2‐week interval (69 vs 69 ng/L, P = 0.55) but fell slightly immediately following dialysis (69 vs 61 ng/L, P < 0.001). Established coronary artery disease (59% vs 22%), peripheral vascular disease (38% vs 4%) and diabetes (18% vs 7%) were more prevalent (P < 0.05) in those in the highest quartile for hsTnT compared with those in the lowest quartile. Conclusion: Almost all in‐centre haemodialysis patients have elevated troponin T in their baseline stable state and this appears unchanged over a 2‐week interval. Such a high rate of baseline elevation of hsTnT may lead to confusion in managing acute coronary syndrome in this group of patients, particularly when symptoms are atypical. We recommend that if Troponin I assay is unavailable then baseline hsTnT concentrations are measured periodically in all haemodialysis patients. 相似文献

Abstract Initial reports indicated the possibility of severe anemia associated with tacrolimus (TC) therapy. We investigated the degree of anemia under TC treatment in comparison to cyclosporine A (CsA) treatment in children after renal transplantation. A cross-sectional analysis of 95 children successfully transplanted for at least 3 months was performed. Eighty-five children received CsA and 10 TC. TC-treat-ed patients were compared with CsA-treated patients who were matched according to age, gender, creatinine clearance, and time after transplantation. No patient received additional therapy with mycophenolate mofetil or azathioprine. The creatinine clearance of the whole group of transplanted children was 58 ml/min per 1.73 m2 . The patients within the matcheD-pair analysis had a lower creatinine clearance (TC 46 and CsA 48 ml/min per 1.73 m2 ). The hemoglobin was 10.3 g/dl for the TC-treated children and 10.4 g/dl among the CsA-treated patients. Numerically, EPO was higher and iron lower in the TC group than in the CsA group. Among children with functioning renal grafts, a correlation exists between Hb and creatinine clearance. A significant difference in the degree of anemia between TC- and CsA-treated children could not be found. 相似文献

Eighteen adult males with end stage renal disease (ESRD) were studied to determine the serum levels of gonadotropins (LH and
FSH), prolactin (PRL) and testosterone. All of the patients were studied longitudinally while undergoing maintenance hemodialysis
(HD) and six months after renal transplantation. Prior to transplantation, significantly high levels of gonadotropins and
PRL were observed. During HD the serum testosterone levels tended to be subnormal in most of the uremic patients and low normal
in some of the subjects. Renal transplantation led to a significant improvement (P < 0.05) in serum testosterone. Elevated gonadotropin and PRL levels observed in patients on HD returned to the normal range
in most of the patients after successful renal transplantation. 相似文献

ARE SECONDARY BILE ACIDS IN CHOLEDOCHAL CYSTS IMPORTANT AS A RISK FACTOR IN BlLlARY TRACT CARCINOMA?
Since secondary bile acids have mutagenic potency and choledochal cyst patients with or without cyst-enterostomy have a high risk of developing bile duct carcinoma, we examined the hypothesis that secondary bile acids are elevated in the choledochal cyst and possibly cause biliary tract carcinoma. Eleven choledochal cyst patients with or without previous cyst-enterostomy or biliary tract carcinoma, seven patients with biliary tract carcinoma not associated with choledochal cyst and five patients with cholecystolithiasis were examined. Samples were directly needle aspirated from the cyst or by cannulating a tube into the common bile duct through the cystic duct. The concentrations of each bile acid in these samples were quantified by gas-liquid chromatography and compared. Neither the relative composition nor the absolute concentration of secondary bile acids (deoxycholic acid, lithocholic acid) elevated in patients with choledochal cyst compared with the values in the non-choledochal cyst patients with or without biliary tract carcinoma. The presence of biliary tract carcinoma or previous cyst-enterostomy did not affect the concentrations of secondary bile acids. The results suggest that the factor other than secondary bile acids can be primarily responsible for the high risk of bile duct carcinoma in patients with choledochal cyst. 相似文献

Direct‐acting antiviral agents (DAA) combining daclatasvir (DCV) have reported good outcomes in the recurrence of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection after liver transplant (LT). However, its effect on the severe recurrence and the risk of death remains controversial. We evaluated the efficacy, predictors of survival, and safety of DAC‐based regimens in a large real‐world cohort. A total of 331 patients received DCV‐based therapy. Duration of therapy and ribavirin use were at the investigator's discretion. The primary end point was sustained virological response (SVR) at week 12. A multivariate analysis of predictive factors of mortality was performed. Intention‐to‐treat (ITT) and per‐protocol SVR were 93.05% and 96.9%. ITT‐SVR was lower in cirrhosis (n = 163) (96.4% vs. 89.6% P = 0.017); the SVR in genotype 3 (n = 91) was similar, even in advanced fibrosis (96.7% vs. 88%, P = 0.2). Ten patients (3%) experienced virological failure. Therapy was stopped in 18 patients (5.44%), and ten died during treatment. A total of 22 patients (6.6%) died. Albumin (HR = 0.376; 95% CI 0.155–0.910) and baseline MELD (HR = 1.137; 95% CI: 1.061–1.218) were predictors of death. DCV‐based DAA treatment is efficacious and safe in patients with HCV infection after LT. Baseline MELD score and serum albumin are predictors of survival irrespective of viral response. 相似文献

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is the most common enzymatic disorder of red blood cells in humans. It is estimated that about 400 million people are affected by this deficiency.1 The G6PD enzyme catalyzes the first step in the pentose phosphate pathway, leading to antioxidants that protect cells against oxidative damage.2 A G6PD-deficient patient, therefore, lacks the ability to protect red blood cells against oxidative stresses from certain drugs, metabolic conditions, infections, and ingestion of fava beans.3 The following is a literature review, including disease background, pathophysiology, and clinical implications, to help guide the clinician in management of the G6PD-deficient patient. A literature search was conducted in the following databases: PubMed, The Cochrane Library, Web of Science, OMIM, and Google; this was supplemented by a search for selected authors. Keywords used were glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency, anesthesia, analgesia, anxiolysis, management, favism, hemolytic anemia, benzodiazepines, codeine, codeine derivatives, ketamine, barbiturates, propofol, opioids, fentanyl, and inhalation anesthetics. Based on titles and abstracts, 23 papers and 1 website were identified. The highest prevalence of G6PD is reported in Africa, southern Europe, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and the central and southern Pacific islands; however, G6PD deficiency has now migrated to become a worldwide disease. Numerous drugs, infections, and metabolic conditions have been shown to cause acute hemolysis of red blood cells in the G6PD-deficient patient, with the rare need for blood transfusion. Benzodiazepines, codeine/codeine derivatives, propofol, fentanyl, and ketamine were not found to cause hemolytic crises in the G6PD-deficient patient. The most effective management strategy is to prevent hemolysis by avoiding oxidative stressors. Thus, management for pain and anxiety should include medications that are safe and have not been shown to cause hemolytic crises, such as benzodiazepines, codeine/codeine derviatives, propofol, fentanyl, and ketamine. The authors of this article make 5 particular recommendations: (1) Anyone suspected of G6PD deficiency should be screened; (2) exposure to oxidative stressors in these individuals should be avoided; (3) these patients should be informed of risks along with signs and symptoms of an acute hemolytic crisis; (4) the clinician should be able to identify both laboratory and clinical signs of hemolysis; and finally, (5) if an acute hemolytic crisis is identified, the patient should be admitted for close observation and care. 相似文献

Introduction
Recent reports in the literature suggest an increased risk of complications with retroperitoneal as opposed to transperitoneal approach to partial nephrectomy (PN) and total nephrectomy (TN). We are a large unit performing predominantly retroperitoneoscopic PN and TN. We aim to review our outcomes and perform analysis to elucidate the predictors of complications following the retroperitoneal approach for extirpative kidney surgery.Methods
We performed a single center retrospective review of children undergoing MIMS TN and PN between 2005 and 2015. Variables were tested for association with outcomes using Chi2 and Spearman's Rho correlation.Results
We performed 173 MIMS nephrectomies, 119 total and 54 partial. Median age and weight were 5?years (6?months to 18?years) and 24.9?kg (7.7 to 85?kg) and operative time 147 min. There were 4 conversions and 17 postoperative complications. 19.6% children required further surgery, including 8 completion stumpectomies. Retroperitoneal approach did not have increased risk compared to transperitoneal for need of further surgery. Partial nephrectomy was not associated with higher rate of intraoperative complication or LOS. Predictors of intraoperative complication were vessel closure technique. Associations with need for further surgery were: ESRF, contralateral disease, bladder dysfunction, presence of PD catheter, and need for concomitant procedure.Conclusion
Our conversion rate (1.9%) and need for further surgery (13.1%) following the retroperitoneal approach to the kidney are favorable to the literature. Need for reoperation is often associated with the underlying diagnosis and the natural sequelae of the disease process.Level of evidence
