AbstractObjective: Intradialytic hypotension (IDH) is common in patients on chronic hemodialysis, but knowledge on determinants is still unclear. The present study aims at evaluating the association between IDH and dialytic age (DA) in patients on chronic hemodialysis. Methods: Between January 2012 and January 2013, 82 patients on chronic hemodialysis for at least 1?year were screened for inclusion in the present study. Of these, 14 were excluded because of advanced heart failure (n.9), history of alcohol/substance abuse (n.1), diagnosis of dementia (n.2), actual instability of clinical conditions requiring hospitalization (n.2). IDH was defined as a decrease in systolic blood pressure ≥20?mmHg or a decrease in mean arterial pressure (MAP) by 10?mmHg associated with clinical events and need for nursing interventions. The number of IDH episodes in 10 consecutive hemodialysis sessions was recorded for each patient. Linear and logistic regressions were adopted to assess the adjusted association between IDH and DA. Results: The mean DA was 92?±?81. Eleven patients (16%) experienced IDH. DA was associated with IDH (OR?=?1.01; 95% CI?=?1.01–1.02; p?=?0.048), after adjusting for potential confounders. DA was associated with the numbers of IDH events in the unadjusted model (B?=?0.02; 95% CI?=?0.01–0.03; p?=?0.042), after adjusting for age and sex (B?=?0.01; 95% CI?=?0.01–0.03; p?=?0.042) as well as in the multivariable model (B?=?0.02; 95% CI?=?0.01–0.05; p?=?0.045). Conclusion: DA is associated with an increased probability of IDH and with increased number of IHD events. Studies are needed to understand the underlying factors of such an association. 相似文献

AbstractObjectives: Perioperative acute kidney injury (AKI) is not uncommon, following revascularization. HDL has been shown to reduce organ injury in animal models. The aim of the study is to examine the association of HDL on AKI in patients undergoing revascularization for chronic limb ischemia. Methods: All patients who underwent revascularization between June 2001 and December 2009 were analyzed. Patients on dialysis and with incomplete data were excluded. Patients were grouped for HDL < or ≥40?mg/dL. Univariate and multivariate analysis were used to identify factors associated with AKI. Results: A total of 684 patients were included. Eighty-two (12.0%) patients developed postoperative AKI (15.7% in low HDL group vs. 6.3% in high HDL group, p?<?0.001). The AKI group were more likely to be older (71.5?±?10.1 vs. 68.0?±?10.8, p?=?0.01), ASA 4 class (26% vs. 14%, p?<?0.001), to have albumin <3?g/dL (59% vs. 32%, p?<?0.001), low HDL levels (79% vs. 58%, p?<?0.001), DM (61% vs. 44%, p?=?0.005), CAD (67% vs. 55%, p?=?0.003), preoperative chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage III–IV (55% vs.39%, p?<?0.001), to present with critical limb ischemia (82% vs. 63%, p?=?0.001), and to be on ACEI (67% vs. 51%, p?=?0.006). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed low HDL (Odds Ratio (OR) 1.66 [1.23–2.24]) and serum albumin levels <3?g/dL (OR 1.66 [1.29–2.13], p?<?0.001) were independently associated with increased odds for developing AKI. Propensity score analyses showed low HDL was independently associated with increased odds of AKI (OR 2.4 (1.4–4.2)). Conclusions: AKI following revascularization is not uncommon (12.0%), and lower concentrations of HDL and serum albumin are associated with increased odds of postoperative AKI. There was also a trend of higher prevalence of AKI among those with pre-existing CKD. 相似文献

Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common following cardiac surgery and is associated with poor outcomes. However, the detection of those preoperative patients who will develop AKI is still difficult. In this study, we compared serum cystatin C combined with dipstick proteinuria as early markers to predict AKI available before surgery. Methods: We prospectively followed 616 patients undergoing cardiac surgery and identified 179 that developed AKI, defined as an increase in serum creatinine (SCr) of ≥?0.3?mg/dL or ≥?50% increase in creatinine level. Preoperative values for cystatin C were categorized into quartiles. We defined proteinuria, measured with a dipstick, as mild (trace to 1+) or heavy (2?+?to 4+). Univariate as well as multivariate regression was performed. Cystatin C combined with dipstick proteinuria before surgery was assessed for its' predictive value of AKI using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. Results: The final cohort consisted of 616 patients aged 60.7?±?13.2 years, and baseline SCr was 75.8?±?26.4?μmol/L, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) 96.3?±?29.0?mL/min/1.73?m2 and cystatin C 1.05?±?0.33?mg/L. Patients in higher cystatin C quartiles were older (p?0.001), more often to have heavy proteinuria (p?=?0.021), hyperuricemia (p?0.001), heart failure (p?0.001) and recent myocardial infarction (p?=?0.002). Those with heavy proteinuria were more often to have diabetes mellitus (p?=?0.010), hyperuricemia (p?=?0.043), worse cardiac function (p?0.05), higher creatinine levels (p?0.001) and lower eGFR levels (p?0.001). In a multiple logistic regression model, preoperative heavy proteinuria [OR: 3.14, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.26–7.77] and preoperative cystatin C quartiles (Q2:OR: 1.60, 95% CI: 0.72–3.60; Q3:OR: 1.87, 95% CI: 0.85–4.14; Q4:OR: 3.10, 95% CI: 1.37–7.02) each associated with an increased odds of AKI, independent of advanced age (OR: 1.04, 95% CI: 1.01–1.06), hypertension (OR: 1.88, 95% CI: 1.13–3.12) and combined surgery (OR: 3.47, 95% CI: 1.35–8.89). The risk for adverse outcomes such as postoperative AKI, persistent AKI, severe AKI, dialysis and mortality were highest in patients with highest quartile of cystatin C (p?0.05, respectively) and heavy proteinuria (p?0.05, respectively). The area under the ROC curve for preoperative cystatin C combined with proteinuria to detect AKI, persistent AKI and severe AKI were 0.695 (p?0.001; 95% CI?=?0.637–0.754), 0.753 (p?0.001; 95% CI?=?0.693–0.812) and 0.718 (p?0.001; 95% CI?=?0.642–0.795), respectively. Conclusion: These data suggest that preoperative serum cystatin C combined with dipstick proteinuria may improve prediction of AKI among patients undergoing cardiac surgery. 相似文献

Background
Anemia greatly affects the development of renal and cardiovascular outcomes in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. However, the impact based on CKD stage remains unclear.Methods
We prospectively followed 2,602 Japanese CKD patients under the care of nephrologists. CKD was defined according to cause, estimated glomerular filtration rate <60 mL/min, and/or proteinuria. Patient outcomes [primary end-points: cardiovascular events (CVEs), all-cause mortality, and end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) requiring renal replacement therapy] were assessed in association with basal hemoglobin (Hb) levels (<10, 10–12 and ≥12 g/dL), stratified by CKD stages.Results
During follow-up, 123 patients developed CVEs, 41 died, and 220 progressed to ESKD. For stages G3, G4 and G5, ESKD frequencies were 2.8, 64.4, and 544.8 person-years, while CVEs and death were 25.6, 45.6, and 76.3 person-years, respectively. The combined endpoint rate was significantly higher in patients with Hb <10 versus Hb 10–12 g/dL, but a higher risk for CVEs and death with Hb <10 g/dL was found only in G3 [hazard ratio (HR) 4.49, (95 % confidence interval (95 % CI) 2.06–9.80)]. In contrast, risk for ESKD with Hb <10 g/dL was found only in G4 [HR 3.08 (95 % CI 1.40–6.79)] and G5 [HR 1.43 (95 % CI 1.01–2.05)]. No increased risks with higher Hb levels were found.Conclusion
The impact of renal anemia of Hb <10 g/dL on clinical outcomes differed by CKD stage, with a significantly high risk for CVEs and all-cause mortality in G3 and progression to ESKD in G4 and G5.5.

Background. Renal involvement is one of the major determinants of the outcome in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus. Renal involvement contributes to both morbidity and mortality of the patients as well as indirectly through side effects of therapy directed at the renal lesions. The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) and azathioprine (AZA) in the maintenance therapy of lupus nephritis. Methods. Thirty-two patients from our center with diagnosed lupus nephritis World Health Organization Class III, IV, V were treated with IVC (0.75–1g/month) for six months in addition to steroid therapy, and then with AZA (n?=?15) or MMF (n?=?17) as a maintenance therapy. The efficacy of two drugs was compared with changes in serum creatinine, creatinine clearance, 24 hour urine protein excretion, cholesterol, anti-dsDNA antibody, and urine sediment. Results. Mean follow-up time was 41.5 + 7 months. The total remission occurred in 84% of patients (82% with MMF and 87% with AZA), with a complete remission rate of 59.3% (58% with MMF and 60% with AZA) and a partial remission rate of 25% (22% with MMF and 27% with AZA). The urinary protein excretion before MMF treatment was 1.9 + 1 g/dL and decreased significantly to 0.91 + 0.6 g/dL (p?=?0.028) after treatment, and decreased from 1.58 + 0.7g/dL to 0.4 + 0.23g/dL in the AZA group (p?=?0.04). The serum creatinine level decreased from 1.32 + 0.7 mg/dL to 1.12 + 0.68 mg/dL in the MMF group (p?=?0.23), and decreased from 0.91 + 0.23mg/dL to 0.88 + 0.23 mg/dL in the AZA group (p?=?0.49). There was no significant change between two groups (p?=?0.1). The serum cholesterol decreased from 229 + 57 mg/dL to 171 + 9 mg/dL (p?=?0.002), and serum triglyceride level decreased from 228 + 116 mg/dL to 98 + 35 mg/dL (p?=?0.004) in the MMF treatment, but no significant change was seen in AZA group. There was no significant difference between the two groups considering the rates of doubling of serum creatinine, progression to end-stage renal failure, relapses, and documented side effects, as well. Conclusion. Both therapeutic approaches with MMF or AZA, in combination with corticosteroids, are effective as a maintenance therapy for lupus nephritis. 相似文献

BackgroundThe study’s objective was to assess the predictive factors of anemia induced by chemotherapy in early breast cancer patients.Patients and methodsPatients treated by adjuvant or neo-adjuvant anthracyclin-based regimens with or without taxanes between 1998 and 2006 in a French university hospital were studied. Chemotherapy included. Anemia was defined as a hemoglobin (Hb) concentration lower than 12 g/dL. Multivariate analysis by logistic regression was used to search for baseline risk factors linked to the occurrence of anemia.ResultsAmong 378 patients, anemia was observed in 64% of cases. The occurrence of anemia was significantly related to 6 risk factors: exposure to taxanes (HR 11.5, 95% CI, 2.5–52.6), high dose of anthracyclin (epirubicin 100 mg/m²)(HR 4.3; 95% CI, 2.8–8), Hb at baseline < 13.5 g/d (HR 4.3; 95% CI, 2.6–7.1), mastectomy (HR 2.5; 95% CI, 1.4–3.3), age >60 (HR 2.5; 95% CI, 1.4–5) years old (HR 2.5; 95% CI, 1.4–5) and Body Mass Index (BMI) ≤ 25 kg/m² (HR 1.7; 95% CI, 1.0–2.8).ConclusionTaking into account the following factors: type of chemotherapy, BMI, age, Hb at baseline should allow a better identification of patients at risk of anemia. 相似文献

To investigate the role of mast cells (MCs) renal infiltration in the progression of human anti-GBM nephritis, 38 patients diagnosed with anti-GBM nephritis were enrolled. Renal biopsies were performed. Immunohistochemistry was conducted to detect MCs in renal tissues. Patients were divided into group 1 (MCs?<50?mm?2, n?=?18) and group 2 (MCs?≥50?mm?2, n?=?20) according to the infiltrating renal MC count. The clinical–pathological indices were compared. And, correlation between MCs and the clinical–pathological indices was analyzed. Patients of group 2 had more severe renal dysfunctions, expressed as higher levels of serum creatinine (SCr 8.95?±?3.66 vs. 4.75?±?2.73?mg/dL, p?<?0.001), urine retinol-binding protein (RBP 29.8?±?13.9 vs. 15.7?±?11.5?mg/dL, p?=?0.005), and lower urinary osmotic pressure. Pathologically, patients of group 2 had a higher percentage of fibrous/fibrocellular crescents (66.7?±?21.9 vs. 47.0?±?33.6%, p?=?0.037) but a lower percentage of cellular crescents. More CD8 (268?mm?2 vs. 180?mm?2, p?=?0.045) and CD68 (268?mm?2 vs. 180?mm?2, p?=?0.045) positive cells infiltrating the interstitium were observed in group 2. Furthermore, renal MCs correlated significantly with the total number of crescents and the tubular interstitial CD8 and CD68 positive cells. And, the number of MCs was associated with the histological types. The renal function was significantly different between the two groups at presentation. However, at 3 and 6 month follow-up, the patient outcome was associated with the histological types. Our study showed that MC infiltrations were associated with chronic lesions in anti-GBM nephritis and may be involved in the loss of renal function with pathological changes. 相似文献

Objectives: To evaluate how chronic kidney disease (CKD) and diabetes mellitus (DM) influence in-hospital mortality in patients urgently admitted for acute heart failure (HF). Methods: We used data from the Spanish “Minimum Basic Data Set” for 2006–2007 to evaluate clinical differences and crude mortality rates for patients having versus non-having CKD or DM. We tested pre-specified predictive factors of in-hospital mortality in a multivariate logistic regression model, which included age, sex, CKD, DM, acute respiratory failure, a modified Charlson Comorbidity Index—excluding CKD/DM- and a CKD?×?DM-interaction variable. p Values?0.05 were considered significant. Main findings: A total of 275,176 episodes of acute HF were analyzed (47.9% male, mean age 76.2?±?12.8 years). CKD patients (N?=?25,174, 9.1%) were older (78.4?±?10.1 vs. 76.0?±?13.1 years; p?0.001) and more frequently had coexisting medical conditions. DM patients (N?=?88,994, 32.3%) more often had vascular risk factors and CKD (11.4% vs. 8.1%; p?0.001). Overall in-hospital mortality rate for admitted HF patients was 10.4%. Mortality was lower for DM versus non-DM patients (9.2% vs. 11.0%; p?0.001), but higher for CKD versus non-CKD patients (14.1% vs. 10.0%; p?0.001). No interaction effect was found between CKD and DM on survival for a HF episode (odds ratio; OR?=?1.01, 95% CI: 0.91–1.10; p for interaction?=?0.73). DM remained protective (OR?=?0.85, 95% CI: 0.82–0.87; p?0.001), while CKD was associated with increased mortality (OR?=?1.46, 95% CI: 1.39–1.53; p?0.001). Conclusions: In patients urgently admitted for HF, the association of CKD with higher in-hospital mortality was homogeneous irrespectively of the absence or presence of DM. 相似文献

Objective Interpretation of the electrocardiogram (ECG) during exercise is not easy in patients with right bundle branch block (RBBB). Also, the value of exercise echocardiography (ExE) for predicting outcome in them has not been addressed. We sought to assess its prognostic value in patients with RBBB and known/suspected coronary disease. Design Retrospective analysis of data on 703 patients with RBBB who were submitted to a clinically-indicated ExE. The end points were overall mortality and combined myocardial infarction and cardiovascular mortality. Results During follow-up (4.1?±?4.5 years) there were 130 deaths and 108 combined events. Independent predictors of combined events were history of coronary artery disease (hazard ratio [HR]?=?2.37, 95% Confidence Interval [CI]?=?1.24–4.52, p?=?0.009) resting wall motion score index (HR?=?2.14, 95% CI?=?1.12–4.10, p?=?0.02), metabolic equivalents (HR?=?0.89, 95% CI?=?0.93–0.97, p?=?0.007), Δ in double product with exercise (HR?=?0.96, 95% CI?=?0.92–1.00, p?=?0.036) and Δ in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) with exercise (HR?=?0.97, 95% CI?=?0.94–0.99, p?=?0.01). Neither positive clinical nor ECG exercise testing was predictive. Combined event rates were 3.3% in patients with ΔLVEF?>?5%, 4.7% in those with ΔLVEF between 1–5% and 8.2% in those with no increase (Δ?<?1%). Conclusions A decrease in LVEF during exercise is predictive of serious events in patients with RBBB. 相似文献

Preexisting renal impairment and the amount of contrast media are the most important risk factors for contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI). We aimed to investigate whether the product of contrast medium volume and urinary albumin/creatinine ratio (CMV?×?UACR) would be a better predictor of CI-AKI in patients undergoing nonemergency coronary interventions. This was a prospective single-center observational study, and 912 consecutive patients who were exposed to contrast media during coronary interventions were investigated prospectively. CI-AKI is defined as a 44.2?μmol/L rise in serum creatinine or a 25% increase, assessed within 48?h after administration of contrast media in the absence of other causes. Fifty patients (5.48%) developed CI-AKI. The urinary albumin/creatinine ratio (UACR) (OR?=?1.002, 95% CI?=?1.000–1.003, p?=?.012) and contrast medium volume (CMV) (OR?=?1.008, 95% CI?=?1.001–1.014, p?=?.017) were independent risk factors for the development of CI-AKI. The area under the ROC curve of CMV, UACR and CMV?×?UACR were 0.662 (95% CI?=?0.584–0.741, p?.001), 0.761 (95% CI?=?0.674–0.847, p?.001) and 0.808 (95% CI?=?0.747–0.896, p?.001), respectively. The cutoff value of CMV?×?UACR to predict CI-AKI was 1186.2, with 80.0% sensitivity and 62.2% specificity. The product of CMV and UACR (CMV?×?UACR) might be a predictor of CI-AKI in patients undergoing nonemergency coronary interventions, which was superior to CMV or UACR alone. 相似文献

Hypoalbuminemia is associated with poor outcomes in kidney transplantation (KT). However, what level is optimal in serum albumin is not clear for the long‐term prognosis. To determine whether the long‐term outcomes are different even between the normal ranges of serum albumin after KT, we analyzed data from 404 renal allograft recipients whose 1‐year post‐transplant serum albumin levels were within the normal limits (3.5–5.5 g/dL). During a follow‐up of 122 ± 56 months, 97 graft losses, 20 patient deaths, and 50 cardiovascular (CV) events occurred. Based on 1‐year serum albumin levels, the patients were divided into high normal (≥4.6 g/dL, n = 209) and low normal (<4.6 g/dL, n = 195) groups. Kaplan–Meier analyses revealed that the low normal group had poorer allograft survival (P = 0.01), patient survival (P < 0.001), and CV event‐free survival (P < 0.001) than the high normal group. Cox regression analysis confirmed that 1‐year serum albumin was inversely associated with the risk of graft loss (hazard ratio [HR] 0.414, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.200–0.856), patient death (HR 0.097, 95% CI 0.019–0.484), and CV events (HR 0.228, 95% CI 0.074–0.702). In conclusion, a relatively low 1‐year post‐transplant serum albumin level within the normal limits (<4.6 g/dL) significantly predicts poor long‐term outcomes. 相似文献

Background: The renoprotective pleiotropic effect of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase inhibitors (statins) has recently been reported by several investigators. However, the effect of statins on IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is still unknown. Methods: We selected 24 IgAN patients who had newly started statin therapy and were not treated with steroids and immunosuppressive agents during the observation period. We analyzed and compared clinical findings 1 year before and after treatment. Results: Mean age was 50.5?±?9.91 years and mean blood pressure was 90.9?±?10.8?mmHg. Renal function was slightly deteriorated, serum creatinine was 1.03 (0.71–1.24) mg/dL and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was 55.8?±?22.8?mL/min. Lipid metabolism was poorly controlled [total cholesterol 247.7?±?35.7?mg/dL, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol 151.5 (140.8–172.8) mg/dL, and triglyceride 163.0 (126.3–243.8) mg/dL]. Mild urinary abnormality was observed [proteinuria: 0.50 (0.22–1.29) g/g creatinine, urinary red blood cells 1.0 (0.2–5.0) per high power field]. After 1 year of statin treatment, lipid control was significantly better than at baseline. Proteinuria was not significantly decreased but renal function was improved. eGFR changed from a ?5.9% decrease to a 2.4% increase (p?=?0.0098). Conclusion: Our results indicated that statins stabilized the renal function of IgAN patients independent of their reduction of proteinuria. 相似文献

Background The living kidney donor counseling prior to the operation may be helpful to learn how to properly care for the remaining single kidney for the rest of their lives. Worsening kidney function is associated with elevated serum uric acid (UA) levels. In this study, we compared the baseline laboratory findings of renal transplant donors with their follow-up laboratory values. Methods The study consisted of 173 adult donors including 91 females and 82 males with a mean age of 46.82?±?11.31 years. The follow-up clinical and laboratory examinations were performed on the third day at the end of the first and the sixth months of the surgery. According to donor's creatinine levels we constituted two groups: high creatinine and normal creatinine. Results Patients within the high creatinine group had significantly higher mean serum UA levels when compared with the normal creatinine group. In multivariate analysis, among the other effective variables, UA level alone was found to be the most effective parameter predicting the post-transplant creatinine levels (p?=?0.004, odds ratio: 12.4, 95% CI: 2.3–68.3) at sixth month post-transplantation. In the ROC analysis for the effects of UA, the following cutoff values were found: >6?mg/dL in men (sensitivity 81.3%, specificity 76.9%, positive predictive value 89.7%, negative predictive value 62.5%, accuracy 80%) and ≥5?mg/dL in women (sensitivity 72.2, specificity 74.4%, positive predictive value 89.7%, negative predictive value 62.5%, accuracy: 73.7%). Conclusion Pretransplant serum UA levels can give important clues regarding the renal functions of the donors during the postoperative period. 相似文献

Background: Antibody-mediated rejection is a frequent cause of graft failure; however, prognostic indications of this complication have not been well defined. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of histopathological and clinical features and to determine the effect of these findings on allograft survival in patients with AMR.Methods: Fifty-two patients suffered from AMR (30 male; mean age 39?±?11 years) were included in the study. Data were investigated retrospectively and graft survival was analyzed. All transplant biopsies were evaluated according to Banff 2009 classification.Results: Of the 52 cases, 45 were transplanted from living-donors. Twenty-one patients were diagnosed in the first 3-months after transplantation. Graft survival was 65% at 12 months and 54% at 36 months. Mean serum creatinine at time of biopsy was 3.8?±?3.6?mg/dL. Thirty-five of the 52 cases showed diffuse C4d positivity, 12 cases showed focal and 5 remained C4d negative. One of the patients died, 13 experienced graft loss and 38 survived with functioning grafts. Serum creatinine levels at time of biopsy were correlated with graft survival (p?=?.021: OR?=?1.10: 95 % CI?=?1.015–1.199). In terms of the impact of pathological findings; tubulitis (p=.007: OR?=?2.62: 95 % CI?=?1.301–5.276), intimal arteritis (p=.017: OR?=?2.85: 95% CI?=?1.205–6.744) and interstitial infiltration (p=.004: OR?=?3.37: 95% CI?=?1.465–7.752) were associated with graft survival.Conclusions: Serum creatinine at time of biopsy, tubulitis, intimal arteritis and interstitial infiltration were significantly associated with graft survival. Antibody-mediated rejection is associated with reduced long-term graft survival. 相似文献

Introduction: Impairment of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and being in a depressive mood were found to be associated with increased mortality in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. We aimed to investigate the association between HRQoL, depression, other factors and mortality in PD patients. Materials and methods: Totally 171 PD patients were included and followed for 7 years in this prospective study. Results: Of 171 PD patients, 45 (26.3%) deceased, 18 (10.5%) maintained on PD, 87 (50.9%) shifted to hemodialysis (HD) and 21 (12.3%) underwent transplantation. The most common cause of death was cardiovascular disease (32, 71.1%) followed by infection (6, 13.3%), cerebrovascular accident (5, 11.2%). The etiology of patients who shifted to HD was PD failure (41, 47.1%), peritonitis (33, 37.9%), leakage (6, 6.9%), catheter dysfunction (3, 3.4%), self willingness (4, 4.6%). Non-survivors were older than survivors (56.6?±?15.0 vs. 43.6?±?14.6, p?=?0.003). There were also statistically significant difference in terms of albumin, residual urine, presence of diabetes and co-morbidity. When the groups were compared regarding HRQoL scores, non-survivors had lower physical functioning (p?<?0.001), role-physical (p?=?0.0045), general health (p?=?0.004), role-emotional (p?=?0.011), physical component scale (PCS) (p?=?0.004), mental component scale (MCS) (p?=?0.029). Age, presence of residual urine, diabetes, albumin, PCS and MCS were entered in regression analysis. Decrease of 1?g/dL of albumin and being diabetic were found to be the independent predictors of mortality. Conclusions: Diabetes and hypoalbuminemia but not HRQOL scores were associated with higher mortality in PD patients after 7 years of following period. 相似文献

AbstractOphiocordyceps sinensis (O. sinensis; syn. Cordyceps sinensis) has been used in clinical therapy for diabetic kidney disease (DKD) for more than 15 years. O. sinensis is a household name in china and it is available even in supermarket. However, the precise role of O. sinensis has not been fully elucidated with meta-analysis. The aim of this study was to review existing evidence on the effectiveness of O. sinensis for the treatment of DKD. We identified 60 trials involving 4288 participants. Overall, O. sinensis combined with ACEI/ARB had a better effect when compared to ACEI/ARB alone on 24?h UP (MD?=??0.23?g/d, 95%?CI:???0.28 to ?0.19, p?<?0.00001), UAER (MD?=??19.71?μg/min, 95%?CI: ?22.76 to ?16.66, p?<?0.00001), MAU (MD?=??45.09?mg/d, 95%?CI: ?55.68 to ?34.50, p?<?0.00001), BUN (MD?=??0.70?mmol/L, 95%?CI: ?1.02 to ?0.39, p?<?0.0001), SCr (MD?=??8.37?μmol/L, 95%?CI: ?12.41 to ?4.32, p?<?0.0001), CRP (MD?=??1.32?mg/L; 95%?CI: ?1.78 to ?0.86; p?<?0.00001), TG (MD?=??0.51?mmol/L; 95%?CI: ?0.69 to ?0.34, p?<?0.00001), TC (MD?=??0.64?mmol/L; 95%?CI: ?0.91 to ?0.37, p?<?0.00001), and SBP (MD?=??2.01?mmHg; 95%?CI: ?3.45 to ?0.58, p?=?0.006). However, no effects were found for DBP, FBG, and HbA1C. This meta-analysis suggested that use of O. sinensis combined with ACEI/ARB may have a more beneficial effect on the proteinuria, inflammatory, dyslipidemia status as compared to ACEI/ARB alone in DKD III–IV stage patients, while there is no evidence that O. sinensis could improve the hyperglycemia status. However, with regard to low-quality and significant heterogeneity of included trials, to further verify the current results from this meta-analysis, long-term and well-designed RCTs with high-quality study are warranted to ascertain the long-term efficacy of O. sinensis. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Diabetic nephropathy is the leading cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Anemia is common in diabetics with nephropathy; however, the impact of anemia on progression to ESRD has not been carefully examined. METHODS: We studied the relationship between baseline hemoglobin concentration (Hb) and progression of diabetic nephropathy to ESRD in 1513 participants enrolled in Reduction in Endpoints in NIDDM with the Angiotensin II Antagonist Losartan study and followed for an average of 3.4 years. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards models were used to analyze the relationship between Hb and ESRD, after adjusting for predictors for ESRD. Analyses were performed with Hb stratified by quartile: first quartile <11.3 g/dL, second quartile 11.3 to 12.5 g/dL, third quartile 12.6 to 13.8 g/dL, and fourth quartile >/=13.8 g/dL (reference) and as a continuous variable. RESULTS: Baseline hemoglobin concentration was correlated with subsequent development of ESRD. After adjustment for predictors of ESRD, the hazard ratios for the first, second, and third Hb quartiles were 1.99 (95% CI, 1.34-2.95), 1.61 (95% CI 1.08-2.41), and 1.87 (95% CI 1.25-2.80). With hemoglobin as a continuous variable, the adjusted hazard ratio was 0.90 (95% CI 0.84-0.96, P= 0.0013). The average increase in adjusted relative risk was 11% for each 1 g/dL decrease in hemoglobin concentration. CONCLUSION: Our data suggest that even mild anemia, Hb <13.8 g/dL increases risk for progression to ESRD. Hemoglobin is an independent risk factor for progression of nephropathy to ESRD in type 2 diabetes. 相似文献

Introduction: Very early withdrawal from treatment in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD) is an increasingly important, but poorly understood, issue. Here, we identified the reasons and risk factors for very early withdrawal from PD.Methods: Incident PD patients from The First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University above 18?years who started treatment between January 1 2006 and December 31 2011 were included. Cessation of PD therapy within the first 90?days after beginning dialysis was classified as very early withdrawal.Results: Totally 1444 patients were enrolled. Of these, 71 (4.9%) withdrew from PD therapy during the first 90?days. Primary reasons for very early withdrawal included death (34 patients, 47.9%), transplantation (21 patients, 29.6%) and transfer to hemodialysis (14 patients, 19.7%). The leading reasons for death were cardiovascular and infectious disease, accounting for 41.2% (14 patients) and 23.5% (8 patients) of total deaths, respectively. Dialysate leakage (six patients, 42.9%) and catheter dysfunction (five patients, 35.7%) were the main reasons for transfer to hemodialysis. In multivariate analysis, predictors for very early PD withdrawal were older age (per decade increasing; hazard ratio [HR], 1.22; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.03–1.45; p?=?.019), higher systolic blood pressure (per 10?mmHg increasing; HR, 1.35; 95% CI, 1.20–1.50; p?.001), lower hemoglobin (per 10?g/l increasing; HR, 0.67; 95% CI, 0.57–0.78; p?.001), lower high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HR, 0.24; 95% CI, 0.10–0.54; p?=?.001) and lower residual urine volume (per 100?ml/d increasing; HR, 0.90; 95% CI, 0.84–0.95; p?=?.001).Conclusions: Death was the primary reason for very early withdrawal from PD. Risk factors for very early withdrawal from PD were older in age, had higher systolic blood pressure, lower hemoglobin, lower high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and lower residual urine volume. 相似文献

Background: Availability of the novel xanthine oxidase inhibitor febuxostat, which has multiple excretion pathways, enables investigation of the significance of serum uric acid control on renal function in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Methods: This was an exploratory, retrospective, observational study conducted at a single Japanese center. Serum uric acid concentrations and serum creatinine levels in the 6 months before and after the start of febuxostat treatment were collected for CKD patients switched from allopurinol after failing to achieve serum uric acid concentrations ≤6.0?mg/dL. Results: Evaluable data were available for 60 patients, 67% of whom had advanced CKD (eGFR <30?mL/min/1.73?m2). Mean dose of febuxostat was 15.9 (±?8)?mg/day. Mean serum uric acid concentration decreased from 8.4 (±1.4) mg/dL at baseline to 6.2 (±1.2)?mg/dL at 6 months; 47.5% of patients achieved a level ≤6.0?mg/dL. The change from baseline in eGFR was positive at all time points during febuxostat treatment and the increase of 2.3 (±5.6)?mL/min/1.73?m2 at 6 months was significant (p?=?0.0027). Whereas the eGFR slope was negative during allopurinol treatment, it became positive after the switch to febuxostat. The change in eGFR slope before and after febuxostat treatment was significant for all patients (p?0.01), for male patients (p?0.05), and for patients with a baseline eGFR of <15?mL/min/1.73?m2 (p?0.05). Conclusions: In patients with CKD, febuxostat reduces serum uric acid concentrations effectively and may suppress the progressive decline in renal function. 相似文献

A role for transforming growth factor-β1gene has been suggested in the etiology of IgA nephropathy. However, results have been inconsistent. In this study, a meta-analysis was performed to further clarify the association between transforming growth factor-β1-509C/T gene polymorphism and the susceptibility of IgA nephropathy. PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, CNKI, WanFang, and VIP Data were searched for eligible studies. Pooled odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals were calculated using a fixed-effects model or random-effects model. A total of eight publications involving 1355 IgA nephropathy patients and 1464 controls met the inclusion and were analyzed. The pooled ORs for the association between TGF-β1gene-509C/T polymorphism and IgA nephropathy risk were not statistically significant under all genetic models (for CT+TT vs. CC: OR?=?1.09; 95% CI?=?0.92–1.29, p?=?0.490; for TT vs. CT+CC: OR?=?1.14; 95% CI?=?0.94–1.38, p?=?0.081; for CC vs. TT: OR?=?0.87; 95% CI?=?0.69–1.08, p?=?0.195; for C allele vs. T allele: OR?=?0.92; 95% CI?=?0.83–1.03, p?=?0.149). In the stratified analysis by ethnicity, results also showed no significant association between TGF-β1 gene-509C/T polymorphism and IgA nephropathy risk in both European and Asian populations. This meta-analysis does not support the hypothesis that TGF-β1 gene-509C/T polymorphism is a risk factor for the development of IgA nephropathy. 相似文献
