Continuous renal replacement therapy improves renal recovery from acute renal failure

BACKGROUND: Acute renal failure (ARF) occurs in up to 10% of critically ill patients, with significant associated morbidity and mortality. The optimal mode of renal replacement therapy (RRT) remains controversial. This retrospective study compared continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) and intermittent hemodialysis (IHD) for RRT in terms of intensive care unit (ICU) and hospital mortality, and renal recovery. METHODS: We reviewed the records of all patients undergoing RRT for the treatment of ARF over a 12-month period. Patients were compared according to mode of RRT, demographics, physiologic characteristics, and outcomes of ICU and hospital mortality and renal recovery using the Chi square, Student's t test, and multiple logistic regression as appropriate. RESULTS: 116 patients with renal insufficiency underwent RRT during the study period. Of these, 93 had ARF. The severity of illness of CRRT patients was similar to that of IHD patients using APACHE II (25.1 vs 23.5, P = 0.37), but they required significantly more intensive nursing (therapeutic intervention scale 47.8 vs 37.6, P = 0.0001). Mortality was associated with lower pH at presentation (P = 0.003) and increasing age (P = 0.03). Renal recovery was significantly more frequent among patients initially treated with CRRT (21/24 vs 5/14, P = 0.0003). Further investigation to define optimal timing, dose, and duration of RRT may be beneficial. CONCLUSIONS: Although further study is needed, this study suggests that renal recovery may be better after CRRT than IHD for ARF. Mortality was not affected significantly by RRT mode.     

Influences of renal stone surgeries on renal function--evaluation of renal function with 99mTc-DMSA renal scintigraphy]

From 1984 to 1990, 99mTc-DMSA renal scintigraphy was performed before and after nephrolithotomy (15 cases), pyelolithotomy (15 cases), percutaneous nephrolithotripsy (PNL: 15 cases) and extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL: 16 cases, 17 kidneys) in order to evaluate of influences of renal stone surgeries on split renal function. DMSA renal uptake change ratio of treated kidneys of nephrolithotomy (-24.94 +/- 5.60%) was significantly lower than that of PNL (-0.06 +/- 3.92%), pyelolithotomy (-4.08 +/- 4.79%) (p less than 0.01) and ESWL (-7.72 +/- 3.87%) (p less than 0.05). The average change ratios of contralateral kidneys were as follows: PNL 4.80 +/- 4.21% nephrolithotomy 4.67 +/- 4.73%, pyelolithotomy -1.46 +/- 5.39% and ESWL -2.02 +/- 4.44%. One to 3 weeks after PNL, the cold area on the renal image was found in 10 (66.7%) of 15 cases. In cases of ESWL, DMSA renal uptake decreased even 4-10 weeks (mean 7 weeks) after treatment. In conclusion, possivility of deterioration of renal function after ESWL was suggested.     

Transplantation of renal primordia: renal organogenesis

Dialysis and allotransplantation of human kidneys represent effective therapies to replace kidney function, but the former replaces only a small component of renal function, and the latter is limited by lack of organ availability. Xenotransplantation of whole kidneys from nonprimate donors is complicated by humoral and severe cellular rejection. The use of individual cells or groups of cells to repair damaged tissue (cellular therapies) offers an alternative for renal tissue replacement. However, recapitulation of complex functions such glomerular filtration and reabsorption and secretion of solutes that are dependent on a three-dimensionally integrated kidney structure are beyond the scope of most cellular replacement therapies. The use of nonvascularized embryonic renal primordia for transplantation circumvents humoral rejection of xenogeneic tissue and ameliorates cellular rejection. Renal primordia are preprogrammed to attract a vasculature and differentiate into a kidney and in this manner undergo organogenesis after transplantation into the mesentery of hosts. Here we review a decade’s progress in renal organogenesis.     

The renal medulla in acute renal allograft rejection: comparison with renal cortex

A retrospective cohort study was undertaken to evaluate thediagnostic value of the renal medulla in acute renal allograftrejection (ARAR). One hundred and ninety-five biopsies from98 patients were randomly selected out of 565 transplant biopsies.Biopsies were graded blindly from Grade 0 (no rejection) toGrade 3 (severe rejection) using standard criteria; ARAR wasconfirmed by a fall in all cases of mean serum creatinine concentrationfrom 0.331 ± 0.182 to 0.184 ± 0.079 mmol/l, withanti-rejection therapy. In the 43 biopsies which contained bothcortex and medulla, the ARAR grades and the intensities of mononuclearcell, plasma cell, polymorphonuclear cell and eosinophil infiltrates,and of interstitial oedema and haemorrhage, were similar incortex and medulla (Spearman's Rank Correlation r=0.55–0.81,P < 0.001 ). The sensitivity, specificity and overall accuracyof medullary changes in predicting ARAR changes in the cortexwere 77%, 100% and 38%, respectively. Acute vascular rejectionchanges could not be compared between renal cortex and renalmedulla because of the anatomical differences between cortexand medulla. Further evaluation of ARAR in the all 195 biopsies,of which 188 had cortical tissue and 50 had medullary tissue,showed no significant differences in histological features (P> 0.05), except for more cortical biopsies with plasma cells(29%) than medullary biopsies with plasma cells (10%; P <0.02). It is concluded that: (1) ARAR histological changes aresimilar in cortex and medulla; (2) the predictive value of ARARmedullary changes for cortical rejection changes has low sensitivity(77%) and high specificity (100%). It is suggested that a predominantlynormal medullary renal biopsy in suspected rejection shouldbe repeated to obtain cortical tissue.     

Abnormal renal arteriography after renal trauma.

Angiograms following renal trauma in a ten-year-old girl were highly suggestive of renal neoplasm, especially Wilms' tumor. There are striking similarities between arteriograms after renal trauma and those showing neovascularity.     

Extensive renal involvement by renal cell carcinoma

Experience with the management of 3 cases of bilateral renal adenocarcinoma and 1 case of unilateral carcinoma in the solitary kidney is presented. Two patients died of metastases six and thirteen months postoperatively, while one is alive with metastases at fourteen months and another is alive without metastases at four months. The literature is reviewed, and the various treatments are discussed.
