Fourteen nondialyzed patients with chronic renal insufficiency (serum creatinine 265 to 972 mumol/L [3.0 to 11.0 mg/dL]) and severe anemia (hematocrit less than 30%) were randomized to receive either recombinant human erythropoietin (r-HuEPO) or a placebo subcutaneously thrice weekly for 12 weeks or until reaching a hematocrit of 38% to 40%. Anemia was significantly ameliorated in the treated patients. No acceleration in the progression of renal failure (1/serum creatinine v time) or change in serum potassium was noted for either the placebo or treated group over the 12-week period. Six of seven treated patients had a significant decrease in serum ferritin and percent transferrin saturation (plasma iron/total iron-binding capacity). This resulted in functional iron deficiency and the requirement for iron supplementation. The average systolic and diastolic blood pressure did not differ significantly between the two groups of patients during the study. Quality of life was improved in all r-HuEPO-treated patients but not in those in the placebo group. This study demonstrates the safety and efficacy of r-HuEPO in the correction of anemia in predialysis patients without adverse effects on renal function over a 12-week period. Improved patient well-being as a result of the correction of anemia resulted in one patient refusing appropriate initiation of dialysis therapy. 相似文献

Fifteen hemodialysis patients suffering from stable anemia were treated with recombinant human erythropoietin (r-HuEPO). Within 16 weeks, hematocrit values increased from 23.7 +/- 1.2 to 35.7 +/- 0.2%. Simultaneously, mean predialytic blood pressure rose significantly from 131/79 to 139/85 mm Hg. Three out of 15 patients developed frank hypertension and had to be put on antihypertensive therapy. When the hematocrit was lowered again from 36.3 +/- 1.8 to 30.5 +/- 1.2% in these 3 patients, blood pressure was attenuated and the antihypertensive medication could be reduced or abolished. With rising hematocrit values, whole blood viscosity increased at both low (+42%) and high shear rates (+33%) without reaching the values seen in healthy subjects. By contrast, plasma viscosity was already elevated in hemodialysis patients prior to r-HuEPO treatment and showed only a slight, but insignificant increase during r-HuEPO treatment. Since whole blood viscosity is one factor that determines vascular resistance, it is conceivable that the development of hypertension during correction of the renal anemia is, at least partly, due to an increment of blood viscosity. 相似文献

Improved sexual function in hemodialysis patients on recombinant erythropoietin: a possible role for prolactin 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
As it was reported that correction of anemia in long-term hemodialysis patients by recombinant human erythropoietin (r-HuEPO) is associated with improved sexual function, we conducted the present study to further delineate the mechanism(s) by which this is brought about. Serum prolactin, testosterone, and parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels were followed during 4 months of r-HuEPO therapy. Within 4 months of treatment with r-HuEPO, hematocrit values rose from 23.7 +/- 1.2 to 35.7 +/- 0.2% and hemoglobin increased from 7.3 +/- 0.3 to 11.3 +/- 0.4 g/100 ml. In parallel, serum prolactin values decreased significantly from 66.9 +/- 9.3 to 9.6 +/- 2.6 ng/ml in females and from 39.5 +/- 10.5 to 10.3 +/- 1.0 ng/ml in male dialysis patients. Testosterone concentrations were low in male patients and remained unchanged during r-HuEPO therapy. Baseline PTH values were elevated (1,880 +/- 220 pg/ml) in patients of both sexes and declined to 1,410 +/- 180 pg/ml during treatment with r-HuEPO. However, this difference did not reach statistical significance. Sexual function improved in 4 out of 7 males and 5 out of 9 female patients began to menstruate regularly again. It appears that treatment of anemia in end-stage renal disease by r-HuEPO improves sexual function via normalization of elevated serum prolactin concentrations. 相似文献

To assess the effect of recombinant human erythropoietin (r-HuEPO) treatment on renal function, the slopes of the regression lines of the reciprocal of serum creatinine versus time were compared in 26 patients with renal insufficiency (serum creatinine ranged from 2.3 to 11.7 mg/dl) followed for a period of 2.7 to 24 months. Ten patients received r-HuEPO and the anemia was corrected (Group I). Sixteen patients did not receive r-HuEPO. Ten of them were anemic (Group II) and six had normal hematocrits (Group III). All study groups were matched for age, diagnosis and degree of renal insufficiency. All cohorts were followed prospectively (Period B, from the first day of the study to the time of data analysis or dialysis and transplantation); renal function was also examined retrospectively (Period A, from the first day of the study to the time of first renal function measurement). Hematocrit was lowest in Group II control patients, 27%, highest in the Group III control subjects, 43%, and intermediate in Group I EPO-treated patients, 36%. Serum creatinine uniformly increased in all three groups of patients. The rate of progression, as measured by the slopes of the reciprocal of serum creatinine versus time, however, was similar in all three groups of subjects and during both periods. The mean slopes for Group I patients before and after r-HuEPO were, respectively, -0.0058 and -0.0054, that of the control cohorts with low and normal hematocrit during period B were -0.0063 and -0.0010, respectively. Thus, it appeared that neither r-HuEPO administration nor a normal hematocrit accelerated the deterioration of renal function in these patients with renal insufficiency. 相似文献

Body fluid spaces and blood pressure in hemodialysis patients during amelioration of anemia with erythropoietin 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Blood pressure (BP) may increase in hemodialysis patients during treatment of anemia with recombinant human erythropoietin (r-HuEPO). Since fluid volume is a determinant of BP in dialysis patients, changes in body fluid spaces during r-HuEPO therapy could affect BP. Thus, 51Cr-labeled red blood cell (RBC) volume, inulin extracellular fluid (ECF) volume, and urea total body water (TBW), as well as cardiac output, plasma renin activity (PRA), and plasma aldosterone concentration were determined postdialysis before and after r-HuEPO therapy in patients in whom changes in BP could be managed by ultrafiltration alone. Eleven patients entered the study: one had a renal transplant and two required addition of antihypertensive drug therapy and were excluded; eight, of whom two required antihypertensive drug therapy following the study, were included in the analyses. Results revealed an increase in predialysis hemoglobin from 67 to 113 g/L (6.7 to 11.3 g/dL) (P = 0.001) during 18 +/- 6 weeks of therapy. Predialysis diastolic BP increased from 80 to 85 mm Hg (P = 0.07), while postdialysis diastolic BP was unchanged at 73 mm Hg. 51Cr-RBC volume increased, from 0.7 to 1.3 L (P = 0.004). ECF tended to decrease, from 13.7 to 10.8 L (P = 0.064), while TBW decreased to a similar extent, but not significantly, 34.3 to 31.2 L (P = 0.16). Postdialysis ECF volume was positively correlated with mean arterial BP at baseline (r = 0.89, P = 0.007) and after therapy (r = 0.74, P = 0.035). However, the regression lines for this relationship were different (P = 0.022) before and after therapy.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: Changes in blood viscosity and total peripheral resistance may contribute to increased blood pressure during partial correction of renal anemia with erythropoietin. An increase in hemoglobin level is followed by decreases in cardiac output and left ventricular mass. We examined how normalization of hemoglobin in predialysis patients affects both hemorheological and hemodynamic variables. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Twelve moderately anemic predialysis patients (hemoglobin 115.9+/-7.8 g/l) received epoetin-alpha with the aim of achieving a normal hemoglobin level (135-160 g/l). Hemorheological variables were measured using rotational viscometry. Cardiac index was determined by means of Doppler echocardiography. RESULTS: After 48 weeks, the hematocrit level had increased from 37.9%+/-3.0% to 47.0%+/-3.1% (p<0.0001). Blood viscosity increased from 3.84+/-0.33 to 4.59+/-0.4 mPa x s (p<0.001). Blood viscosity standardized to a hematocrit level of 45% and a plasma viscosity of 1.31 mPa x s did not change. Plasma viscosity, erythrocyte aggregation tendency and erythrocyte fluidity remained unchanged. The cardiac index decreased from 2.64+/-0.57 to 2.19+/-0.72 l/min/m(2) (p<0.05). The total peripheral resistance index increased from 3270+/-985 to 4013+/-1046 (dyn x s/cm(5))m(2) (p<0.05). Blood pressure remained constant, but the amount of antihypertensive medication used increased by 30%. CONCLUSIONS: Hemoglobin normalization in predialysis patients raised blood viscosity and total peripheral resistance due to an increase in hematocrit level, without other consistent hemorheological changes. Antihypertensive therapy had to be increased in many patients to maintain an acceptable blood pressure. The cardiac index was reduced, which may have prevented further development of left ventricular hypertrophy. 相似文献

Since it has been reported that correction of anemia in long-term hemodialysis patients by using human recombinant erythropoietin (r-HuEPO) is associated with improve sexual function, we conducted the present study to evaluate the changes in sex hormones as well as sexual function after r-HuEPO administration (1500 to 4500 IU per dialysis) for a year in patients on regular hemodialysis. Thirteen patients receiving regular hemodialysis entered this study. Their median age was 43 years. Along with correction of anemia (the hematocrit increased from 20 to 28%), testosterone (T) increased from 2.4 +/- 0.1 to 2.6 +/- 0.2 ng/ml, follicular stimulating hormone (FSH) increased (29 +/- 5 to 73 +/- 7 mIU/ml), luteinizing hormone increased (69 +/- 14 to 160 +/- 21 IU/ml) and prolactin decreased (all changes are significant at p less than 0.05). However, the improvement of sexual function was not remarkable. Only 25% of the uremic patients treated with r-HuEPO showed amelioration of this function. From the present data, it does not seem likely that therapy with r-HuEPO induces directly amelioration of sexual function through changes in sex hormones. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: Renal dysfunction following cardiac surgery is more apparent in high-risk patients with pre-existing renal dysfunction, diabetes and impaired left-ventricular function, and following complicated procedures involving prolonged cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). The aim of this prospectively randomised double-blinded placebo-controlled study was to evaluate reno-protective effect of low-dose furosemide infusion in this high-risk group. METHODS: Patients with preoperative serum creatinine >130 micromol/l (1.4 mg/dl), left-ventricular ejection fraction <50%, congestive heart failure, diabetes, or procedures involving prolonged CPB were randomised to receive either saline at 2 ml/h (n=21), or furosemide at 4 mg/h (n=21). Infusion was commenced after induction of anaesthesia and continued for 12h postoperatively. Renal dysfunction was defined as >50% increase in serum creatinine postoperatively, or >130 micromol/l (1.4 mg/dl), or requirement for haemodialysis, or all of these. In patients with preoperative serum creatinine >130 micromol/l, >50% increase over preoperative levels was used to define postoperative renal dysfunction. RESULTS: Following cardiac surgery, patients receiving furosemide had a higher urine output (3.4+/-1.2 ml/kg/h in furosemide group and 1.2+/-0.5 ml/kg/h in placebo group; p<0.001), higher postoperative fluid requirement (4631+/-1359 ml in furosemide group and 3714+/-807 ml in placebo group, p=0.011), and lower urinary-creatinine (2+/-1.3 micromol/l in furosemide group and 5.9+/-2.5 micromol/l in placebo group p<0.001). Both groups had significant increase in retinol binding protein/creatinine ratio (7.2+/-6 to 3152+/-1411 in furosemide group; 4.9+/-2.1 to 2809+/-1125 in placebo group; p<0.001) and peak serum creatinine (98+/-33 to 177+/-123 micromol/l in furosemide group; 96+/-20 to 143+/-87 micromol/l in placebo group; p<0.001), and a significant decrease in peak creatinine-clearance (64.3+/-29.4 to 39.1+/-16.6 ml/min in furosemide group; 65.5+/-38.6 to 41.8+/-17.8 ml/min in placebo group; p<0.001) following cardiac surgery, implying significant renal injury following cardiac surgery. Peak creatinine levels (177+/-123 micromol/l in furosemide group and 143+/-87 micromol/l in placebo group; p=0.35) and peak creatinine-clearance (39.1+/-16.6 ml/min in furosemide group and 41.8+/-17.8 ml/min in placebo group; p=0.61) were similar in the two groups. Importantly, there was no difference in incidence of renal dysfunction between the furosemide group (9/21) and the control group (8/21) (relative risk 1.1, 95% confidence interval 0.6-2.2; p=0.99). CONCLUSIONS: Our randomised trial did not demonstrate any benefit of furosemide-infusion postoperatively in high-risk cardiac surgical patients. Although urinary output increased with furosemide, there was no decrease in renal injury, and no decrease in incidence of renal dysfunction. 相似文献

Effect of prolonged pneumoperitoneum on intraoperative urine output during laparoscopic gastric bypass 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7

BACKGROUND: Intraoperative oliguria is common during laparoscopic operations. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of prolonged pneumoperitoneum during laparoscopic gastric bypass (GBP) on intraoperative urine output and renal function. METHODS: 104 patients with a body mass index between 40 and 60 kg/m2 were randomly assigned to laparoscopic (n = 54) or open (n = 50) GBP. Intraoperative urine output was recorded at 30-min intervals. Blood urea nitrogen and creatinine levels were measured at baseline and on postoperative days 1, 2, and 3. Levels of antidiuretic hormone, aldosterone, and plasma renin activity were also measured in a subset of laparoscopic (n = 22) and open (n = 24) GBP patients at baseline, 2 hours after surgical incision, and in the recovery room. RESULTS: The laparoscopic and open groups were similar in age, gender, and body mass index. There was no significant difference in amount of intraoperative fluid administered between groups (5.4 +/- 1.6 L, laparoscopic versus 5.8 +/- 1.7 L, open), but operative time was longer in the laparoscopic group (232 min versus 200 min, p < 0.01). Urinary output during laparoscopic GBP was 64% lower than during open GBP at 1 hour after surgical incision (19 mL versus 55 mL, p < 0.01) and continued to remain lower than that of the open group by 31-50% throughout the operation. Postoperative blood urea nitrogen and creatinine levels remained within the normal range in both groups. Serum levels of antidiuretic hormone, aldosterone, and plasma renin activity peaked at 2 hours after surgical incision with no significant difference between the two groups. CONCLUSION: Prolonged pneumoperitoneum during laparoscopic gastric bypass significantly reduced intraoperative urine output but did not adversely alter postoperative renal function. 相似文献

Blood pressure independent effects of nitrendipine on cardiac structure in patients after renal transplantation 总被引:2,自引:2,他引:0

Left ventricular hypertrophy is well established as a blood pressure
independent cardiovascular risk factor in patients on renal replacement
therapy. The effects of antihypertensive treatment on myocardial structure
and function in renal transplant recipients have been so far only rarely
investigated. In a double-blind, placebo-controlled study patients were
randomized to the calcium channel blocker nitrendipine or placebo if the
transplanted kidney had developed a stable phase. Normotensive patients
received nitrendipine 2 x 5 mg daily or placebo, hypertensive patients
received 2 x 10 mg up to 2 x 20 mg nitrendipine daily or placebo. To
achieve adequate blood pressure control, all patients with still elevated
blood pressure on study medication received antihypertensive drugs other
than calcium channels blockers. Ambulatory blood pressure recording and
2D-guided M-mode echocardiography were performed at baseline and upon
completion of the study. In addition, laboratory workup (including serum
creatinine and lipids) was done, and serum aldosterone, plasma renin
activity, plasma angiotensin II and blood glucose levels were measured in
all patients at baseline and after at least 12 months of therapy.
Ambulatory blood pressure was almost identical between both groups at study
baseline and follow-up. In renal transplant patients on nitrendipine,
posterior wall thickness (-0.10 +/- 1.77 mm) and septal wall thickness
(-0.83 +/- 2.23 mm) did not change significantly from baseline. In
contrast, posterior wall thickness (0.71 +/- 0.92 mm, P < 0.01) and
septal wall thickness (0.97 +/- 2.20 mm, P < 0.05) increased in patients
on placebo, which differed from the observed changes on nitrendipine
(ANOVA: P = 0.093 and P = 0.048, respectively). Relative wall thickness, a
parameter for concentric left ventricular hypertrophy, became numerically
smaller on nitrendipine therapy from 0.46 +/- 0.07 to 0.44 +/- 0.09 (-0.02
+/- 0.09, NS) but increased from 0.42 +/- 0.08 to 0.48 +/- 0.08 in the
placebo arm (+0.04 +/- 0.08, P < 0.02), which was also significant
between the two groups (ANOVA: P = 0.036). Endocrine parameters, lipids and
blood glucose were not different between the two groups. We conclude from
these data that the calcium channel blocker nitrendipine exerted beneficial
effects on cardiac structure in patients after renal transplantation
independent of blood pressure.

We studied renal, hormonal and cardiovascular effects of ANF 102-126 (WY 47987) in seven patients with chronic renal failure (serum creatinine 25-68 mg/l) and in four normal volunteers. ANF or placebo bolus injections were given at 1, 2, and 3 micrograms/kg i.v. (each dose on separate days). As compared to placebo, ANF did not induce changes of renal excretory parameters, of plasma renin and aldosterone or of blood pressure and heart rate in patients. In healthy volunteers, however, the same dose of ANF increased urinary excretion of sodium, potassium, calcium, chloride and phosphorus as well as water, and creatinine clearances, and decreased plasma aldosterone. The data suggest blunted effectiveness of ANF bolus injections in patients with renal insufficiency. 相似文献

Effect of the calcium channel blocker nisoldipine on the progression of chronic renal failure in man
H E Eliahou D Cohen B Hellberg A Ben-David D Herzog P Shechter S Kapuler N Kogan 《American journal of nephrology》1988,8(4):285-290
Patients with stable renal insufficiency were randomized into two groups: (1) patients given the channel blocker nisoldipine (n = 17) and (2) placebo-treated patients (n = 17) also taking their regular antihypertensive therapy which did not include calcium blockers. Patients were already on low protein diet with a protein intake of 0.80 +/- 0.2 in the nisoldipine group versus 0.85 +/- 0.25 g/kg body weight in the placebo-treated group. The monthly progression of their renal failure was assessed by the reciprocal of serum creatinine versus time in months. After a mean follow-up of 17.4 +/- 8.2 (range 6-30) months, the nisoldipine-treated group had a significant decrease in their slope of progression, whereas the placebo-treated patients, after 16.94 +/- 7.2 (range 6-30) months of follow-up, had no significant change in their slope. The protein intake during follow-up was similar, being 0.85 +/- 0.2 g/kg actual body weight in the nisoldipine-treated group and 0.88 +/- 0.26 g/kg in the placebo group. The changes in slope did not correlate with the changes in blood pressure. 相似文献

High protein diets acutely elevate the glomerular filtration rate. To characterize this response we administered 1 g of protein/kg body weight as a beef steak meal to nine, healthy male subjects and measured glomerular filtration rate (inulin clearance), renal plasma flow (p-amino hippurate clearance), plasma renin activity, aldosterone and plasma and urinary catecholamines. The subjects ingested the meal on three separate days and were pretreated with either placebo, 50 mg indomethacin (to inhibit renal prostaglandin synthesis), or 10 mg enalapril (to inhibit angiotensin II synthesis). Following placebo treatment protein feeding significantly increased the glomerular filtration rate, from a pre-meal level of 101 +/- 7 ml/min/1.73 m2 to a post-meal level of 130 +/- 6 ml/min/1.73 m2, P less than 0.005. A parallel rise in renal plasma flow and a fall in renal vascular resistance were noted. Indomethacin pretreatment attenuated the increase in glomerular filtration rate following the protein meal, 105 +/- 6 ml/min/1.73 m2 pre-meal level to 118 +/- 4 ml/min/1.73 m2 post-meal, P greater than 0.1. Enalapril pretreatment had no significant effect on protein-induced glomerular hyperfiltration. Protein feeding following placebo increased plasma aldosterone concentration while the concentrations were unchanged in the studies where enalapril or indomethacin was administered. Protein feeding following placebo or indomethacin did not alter plasma renin activity while plasma renin activity rose following enalapril administration. Urinary norepinephrine excretion rose while plasma norepinephrine concentration was unchanged in all three study groups. A decrease in urinary dopamine excretion was also noted four hours after the protein meal was ingested.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Add-on angiotensin receptor blockade with maximized ACE inhibition 总被引:12,自引:0,他引:12
Agarwal R 《Kidney international》2001,59(6):2282-2289
BACKGROUND: Prolonged angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor therapy leads to angiotensin I (Ang I) accumulation, which may "escape" ACE inhibition, generate Ang II, stimulate the Ang II subtype 1 (AT1) receptor, and exert deleterious renal effects in patients with chronic renal diseases. We tested the hypothesis that losartan therapy added to a background of chronic (>3 months) maximal ACE inhibitor therapy (lisinopril 40 mg q.d.) will result in additional Ang II antagonism in patients with proteinuric chronic renal failure with hypertension. METHODS: Sixteen patients with proteinuric moderately advanced chronic renal failure completed a two-period, crossover, randomized controlled trial. Each period was one month with a two-week washout between periods. In one period, patients received lisinopril 40 mg q.d. along with other antihypertensive therapy, and in the other, losartan 50 mg q.d. was added to the previously mentioned regimen. Hemodynamic measurements included ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABP; Spacelabs 90207), glomerular filtration rate (GFR) with iothalamate clearances and cardiac outputs by acetylene helium rebreathing technique. Supine plasma renin activity and plasma aldosterone and 24-hour urine protein were measured in all patients. RESULTS: Twelve patients had diabetic nephropathy, and four had chronic glomerulonephritis. The mean age (+/- SD) was 53 +/- 9 years. The body mass index was 38 +/- 5.7 kg/m(2), and all except two patients were males. Seated cuff blood pressure was 156 +/- 18/88 +/- 12 mm Hg. The pulse rate was 77 +/- 11 per min, and the cardiac index was 2.9 +/- 0.5 L/min/m(2). Mean log 24-hour protein excretion/g creatinine or overall ABPs did not change. Mean placebo subtracted, losartan-attributable change in protein excretion was +1% (95% CI, -20% to 28%, P = 0.89). Similarly, the change in systolic ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) was 4.6 mm Hg (-5.7 to 14.9, P = 0.95), and diastolic ABP was 1.5 mm Hg (-4.5 to 7.6, P = 0.59). No change was seen in cardiac output. However, there was a mean 14% increase (95% CI, 3 to 26%, P = 0.017) in GFR attributable to losartan therapy. A concomitant fall in plasma renin activity by 32% was seen (95% CI, -15%, - 45%, P = 0.002). No hyperkalemia, hypotension, or acute renal failure occurred in the trial. These results were not attributable to sequence or carryover effects. CONCLUSIONS: Add-on losartan therapy did not improve proteinuria or ABP over one month of add on therapy. Improvement of GFR and fall in plasma renin activity suggest that renal hemodynamic and endocrine changes are more sensitive measures of AT1 receptor blockade. Whether add-on AT1 receptor blockade causes antiproteinuric effects or long-term renal protection requires larger and longer prospective, randomized controlled trials. 相似文献

The effects of a new angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor, delapril hydrochloride, (delapril) on renal function, and the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone and kallikrein-kinin prostaglandin systems were studied in 10 hypertensive patients. After 4 to 12 months (7.6 +/- 0.9 [SE]) of treatment with 15-60 mg/day (36 +/- 6.8) of delapril (b.i.d.), mean arterial pressure was decreased from 126 +/- 3.0 to 110 +/- 4.4 mmHg (p less than 0.01). Although renal blood flow (RBF), assessed by PAH clearance and hematocrit, was increased from 437 +/- 51 to 490 +/- 49 ml/min (p less than 0.05) and renal vascular resistance was decreased (p less than 0.05), glomerular filtration rate, measured by endogenous creatinine clearance, did not change significantly. Thus, filtration fraction was reduced (p less than 0.01). Plasma renin activity was increased from 1.5 +/- 0.3 to 4.4 +/- 1.1 ng/ml/hr (p less than 0.01). Plasma aldosterone concentration tended to decrease (p less than 0.1), and urinary aldosterone excretion showed on significant change. Although urinary kallikrein and prostaglandin E2 excretions were increased (p less than 0.05), urinary thromboxane B2 excretions was reduced (p less than 0.05). In addition, the changes in RBF were significantly correlated with those in urinary PGE2 excretion (r = 0.63, p less than 0.05). These results suggest that the antihypertensive effect of delapril is multifactorial and that the improvement of RBF seen during delapril administration in the present study may be partly due to the suppression of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and the activation of kallikrein-kinin-prostaglandin system. 相似文献

Torsemide versus furosemide after continuous renal replacement therapy due to acute renal failure in cardiac surgery patients 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Vargas Hein O Staegemann M Wagner D von Heymann C Martin M Morgera S Spies C 《Renal failure》2005,27(4):385-392
Diuretic therapy in ARF (acute renal failure) is mainly done with loop diuretics, first of all furosemide. Torsemide has a longer duration of action and does not accumulate in renal failure. In chronic and acute renal failure, both diuretics have been effectively applied, with a more pronounced diuretic effect for torsemide. In this study, the effects of torsemide versus furosemide on renal function in cardiac surgery patients recovering from ARF after continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) were studied. Twenty-nine critically ill patients admitted to an intensive care unit at a university teaching hospital after cardiac surgery recovering from ARF after CRRT were included in this prospective, controlled, single-center, open-labeled, randomized clinical trial. Inclusion criteria were urine output >0.5 mL/kg/h over 6 h under CRRT. Torsemide and furosemide dosages were adjusted with the target urine output being 0.8-1.5 mL/kg/h. Hemodynamic data, urine output, volume balance, serum creatinine clearance, electrolytes, blood urea nitrogen, serum creatinine, renin, and aldosterone concentrations were measured. Fourteen patients were included in the furosemide group and 15 patients in the torsemide group. Dosages of 29 (0-160) mg torsemide and a dosage of 60 (0-240) mg furosemide were given every 6 h in each group, respectively. The dosage given at the end of the study decreased significantly in furosemide and torsemide treated patients. Urine output, 24 h balance, and serum creatinine clearance did not differ significantly between groups. Urine output decreased in both groups, mostly dose-dependent in the torsemide group. The intragroup comparison of the first time-interval after inclusion with the last time-interval showed a significant increase in serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen in the furosemide group. Renin and aldosterone concentrations did not show significant differences. In conclusion, torsemide and furosemide were effective in increasing urine output. Torsemide might show a better dose-dependent diuretic effect in ARF patients after CRRT treatment. Serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen elimination were less pronounced in the furosemide group. 相似文献

It has been reported that patients with azotemia have reduced red blood cell (RBC) deformability. Since this is a major determinant of whole-blood viscosity (WBV) and rigid RBCs increase WBV disproportionately relative to the level of hematocrit, it is conceivable that sustained improvement of hematocrit with recombinant human erythropoietin (rhEPO) therapy in azotemic patients might result in abnormally raised WBV. To address this concern, WBV and plasma viscosity (PV) were measured in 9 adult patients (4 men, 5 women) with anemia (mean hematocrit 29.2 +/- 2.7%) and azotemia [mean serum creatinine concentration 339.85 +/- 102.44 mumol/l (3.8 +/- 1.1 mg/dl)] before and after 6 months of treatment with rhEPO (50-175 U/kg given intravenously thrice weekly). Baseline and post-treatment hematocrit, WBV and PV were compared to values derived in 50 normal adult subjects with normal renal function [25 women, 25 men; mean serum creatinine concentration 79.56 +/- 8.84 mumol/l (0.9 +/- 0.1 mg/dl), mean hematocrit 42.4 +/- 3.7%]. To compare rheologic factors at subnormal hematocrits, blood from subjects with normal renal function was diluted with autologous plasma to achieve a range of hematocrits from 20 to 50%.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Twenty patients with renovascular hypertension were followed for at least 1 year (mean 3.3 years) after successful percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA). Renal arteries were patent in 13 (65%) patients and were re-stenosed in 7 (35%). In 12 patients with unilaterally stenosed renal artery which were patent at the end of the follow up period, 6 patients were normotensive, the other 6 patients had less degree of hypertension. Determinations of renal vein renin were only of limited prognostic value. Renal blood flow pattern by doppler echography improved after PTA in the 12 patients. Radioisotope renogram showed tendency of improved Tmax ratio (stenotic kidney/nonstenotic kidney) from 1.5 +/- 0.8 to 1.0 +/- 0.2 (mean +/- SD, p less than 0.1). Serum creatinine levels decreased significantly from 1.2 +/- 0.5 mg/dl to 1.0 +/- 0.2 mg/dl (p less than 0.05) and creatinine clearance increased from 72.1 +/- 18.5 ml/min to 99.6 +/- 31.7 ml/min (p less than 0.02). The size of the stenosed kidneys increased from 11.2 +/- 0.7 cm to 12.0 +/- 0.8 cm (p less than 0.01), while the size of the contralateral kidneys did not change. These results indicate that PTA has favorable long-term effects on blood pressure and renal function with restoration of renal size in cases with patent renal arteries after this procedure. 相似文献

Crescentic glomerulonephritis in Wegener's granulomatosis: morphology, therapy, outcome 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Fourteen patients with Wegener's granulomatosis (WG) and severe renal and extrarenal involvement were studied (serum creatinine on admission 5.8 +/- 3.4 mg/dl). Renal histology showed a necrotizing, crescentic glomerulonephritis in all patients. Despite advanced renal disease on admission cyclophosphamide, steroids (in 13 patients) and plasma exchange (in 9 patients) caused a rapid and sustained improvement of renal function. Four patients required intermittent hemodialysis over a period of one week. After 2 weeks of treatment serum creatinine values below 2 mg/dl (n = 4) indicated a nearly complete recovery of renal function in the long-term follow up (mean serum creatinine achieved after 12 months therapy: 1.1 +/- 0.1 mg/dl (n = 4). Therefore serum creatinine values observed after 2 weeks of therapy, appear to be of prognostic value with regard to renal outcome. No relapse of active WG or progressive renal deterioration was observed during follow-up (22 +/- 13 months) except in one patient with persisting renal impairment. Three patients died (staphylococcus sepsis, intracerebral hemorrhage during hypertensive crisis, pulmonary embolism) during the first two months of therapy. The decline of serum creatinine seemed to be a better indicator of successful therapy than the decrease of anticytoplasmatic antibody (ANCA), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and hematuria. On admission ANCA titer neither correlated with serum creatinine, the degree of renal involvement, nor was it of prognostic value. ANCA, serum creatinine and hematuria normalized within 2 to 8 months, whereas ESR and proteinuria remained elevated. Our data indicate a good prognosis of WG even with advanced renal involvement and generalized vasculitis provided aggressive treatment is performed early. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Concerns have recently been raised regarding a potential harmful effect of statins on renal function. This study investigated the effect of fluvastatin treatment on renal function in renal transplant recipients enrolled in the Assessment of Lescol in Renal Transplantation (ALERT) trial. METHODS: ALERT was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of the effect of fluvastatin, 40-80 mg daily (n = 1050) or placebo (n = 1052) on cardiac and renal outcomes in renal transplant recipients over a follow-up period of five to six years. The incidence of graft loss, changes in serum creatinine, calculated creatinine clearance and proteinuria, and the incidence of renal adverse events (AEs) were assessed in both treatment groups. RESULTS: Fluvastatin treatment in ALERT had no significant effect compared with placebo on renal function, assessed by serum creatinine (overall adjusted mean +/- SEM: fluvastatin, 175.4 +/- 2.20 micromol/L; placebo, 172.7 +/- 2.20 micromol/L; p = 0.39), creatinine clearance (fluvastatin, 55.3 +/- 0.30 mL/min; placebo, 55.8 +/- 0.30 mL/min; p = 0.26) or proteinuria (fluvastatin, 0.58 +/- 0.03 g/24 h; placebo, 0.53 +/- 0.03 g/24 h; p = 0.31). There were no significant differences between treatment groups when the 283 patients suffering graft loss were excluded from the analysis. Fluvastatin also had no detrimental effect on creatinine clearance or proteinuria in the subgroup of 340 diabetic patients without graft loss in ALERT. No notable differences in the rate of renal or musculoskeletal AEs were observed between fluvastatin and placebo groups. CONCLUSIONS: Fluvastatin had no detrimental effect on renal function, or the risk of renal AEs, in renal transplant recipients with or without diabetes enrolled in ALERT. Fluvastatin treatment for the prevention of cardiac events may therefore be used without fear of jeopardizing renal function. 相似文献
