  Familial juvenile hyperuricaemic nephropathy (FJHN; OMIM 162000)is considered a rare cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD).FJHN is characterized by hyperuricaemia and gout after adolescenceand the slow development of renal insufficiency, leading toESRD in adulthood. The disorder is characterized by a renalunder-secretion of urate, which may be detected already duringearly childhood [1]. The histological lesions in affected subjectsare characterized by unspecific tubulo-interstitial nephropathy.FJHN is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern with a highpenetrance. Recently, the gene(s) for FJHN was localized toa candidate interval at the short arm of chromosome 16 [2,3].   We report a Caucasian four-generation family with FJHN withoutconsanguinity between spouses and a clustering of  相似文献

  Tenofovir is an antiviral nucleotide with activity against humanimmunodeficiency virus type I (HIV-1). Tenofovir is extensivelyand rapidly excreted in the urine by the kidneys [1]. Thereare no available data on tenofovir pharmacokinetics in patientswith renal failure. We report here on the clinical effects andthe pharmacokinetics of tenofovir in one patient with end-stagerenal disease (ESRD) undergoing haemodialysis.   The patient was a 46-year-old Caucasian man co-infected withHIV-1 and hepatitis B virus (HBV) who was undergoing haemodialysistwice a week for end-stage renal failure (ESRD) secondary toautosomal polycystic kidney disease.

  It is well known that late referral to a nephrologist is associatedwith many adverse outcomes [1–4], and indeed has beenthe subject of a recent review in this journal [5]. Some ofthe more important negative outcomes include more rapid onsetof end-stage renal disease (ESRD), progression of co-morbidconditions such as anaemia and cardiovascular disease, suboptimalvascular access at initiation of dialysis, increased use ofcentre-based haemodialysis (HD), increased hospital utilization,increased cost and worse survival. The literature has many examplesof suboptimal chronic kidney disease (CKD) care provided byprimary care physicians prior to referral, and also shows clearlythat care provided by nephrologists is better [6,7]. There isa consensus within the renal community that early referral isdesirable [5,8–10].M   There is much less consensus  相似文献

Anaesthesia for lower limb revascularization     
Tovey  Gail; Thompson  Jonathan P 《CEACCP》2005,5(3):89-92
The first 150 words of the full text of this article appear below. Key points Surgery for lower limb revascularization is associatedwith a high risk of cardiac morbidity and mortality. Preoperativecardiac risk assessment is important and risk-reducing measuresshould be started appropriately. Perioperative ß-blockadedecreases perioperative cardiac complications in the highestrisk patients. The quality of anaesthetic practice rather thanspecific technique per se has the most important influence onpatient outcome. Acute limb ischaemia is an emergency thatprecludes prolonged preoperative cardiac evaluation.  
  Critical limb ischaemia (CLI) is defined as chronic ischaemicrest pain, ulcers or gangrene attributable to objectively provenarterial occlusive disease. Peripheral vascular disease (PVD)is a marker for severe multi-system atherosclerosis and patientswith critical limb ischaemia presenting for lower limb revascularizationpresent a significant challenge to the anaesthetist. They areusually elderly with a high prevalence of hypertension, diabetesmellitus, cerebrovascular and renal vascular disease, and smoking-relatedrespiratory disease.

Complications of blood transfusion     
Maxwell  Melanie J; Wilson  Matthew J A 《CEACCP》2006,6(6):225-229
The first 150 words of the full text of this article appear below. Key points
  • Complications of blood transfusion are rare but canbe life-threatening.
  • Since 2005, it has been a legal requirementthat all serious adverse reactions attributable to the safetyor quality of blood are reported.
  • Most reported complicationsare because of transfusion of mismatched blood products andare avoidable through clinical vigilance.
  • Massive blood transfusionsresult in abnormalities of coagulation status, serum biochemistry,acid–base balance and temperature homeostasis.
  • Transfusion-relatedacute lung injury is the most common cause of major morbidityand death after transfusion.
  The serious hazards of transfusion (SHOT) scheme has collecteddata on significant adverse events resulting from transfusionof blood components from volunteer organizations since 1996.However, after the implementation of the European Union Directiveon Blood Safety and Quality in 2005, it is now a requirementthat all ‘Blood Establishments and Hospital Blood Banksreport to the Secretary of State for Health all serious adversereactions . . .

Massive haemorrhage in pregnancy     
Banks  Amelia; Norris  Andrew 《CEACCP》2005,5(6):195-198
The first 150 words of the full text of this article appear below. Key points Massive haemorrhage remains a significant causeof maternal mortality and morbidity. Clear and timely communicationbetween surgical, anaesthetic and haematology services is vitalto ensure optimal maternal and fetal outcome. Signs of hypovolaemiaoccur relatively late because of physiological changes in pregnancy. Theextent of intravascular volume deficit is not reflected by visualestimates of vaginal bleeding. The decision to perform a hysterectomyshould be made when other methods of haemostasis have failedand not delayed until control of maternal haemostasis and cardiovascularstability has been lost.   Massive haemorrhage is a major cause of maternal mortality.Life-threatening haemorrhage may occur as frequently as 6.7per 1000 deliveries.1 This equates to 1400 cases yr –1in the UK or 33.5 yr –1 in an obstetric unit with 5000deliveries annually. Pregnancy-related conditions and complicationsaccount for 0.8% of intensive care admissions; 35% of thesearise from massive haemorrhage.1 2 Management of massive . . . [Full Text of this Article]

  Thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) is a well-recognized complicationof solid organ transplantation. Both calcineurin inhibitorscyclosporine [1] and tacrolimus [2] have been associated withTMA. Treatment strategies for TMA have included plasmapheresis[1,2], calcineurin inhibitor dose reduction [1,2], calcineurininhibitor withdrawal [1,2], and conversion from one calcineurininhibitor to the other [3]. However, calcineurin inhibitor dosereduction or discontinuation increases the risk of acute allograftrejection and recurrent TMA has been described in patients thatwere converted from cyclosporine to tacrolimus [4,5]. We presenttwo cases of biopsy-proven transplant-associated TMA that weresuccessfully treated by discontinuation of tacrolimus followedby the use of sirolimus, mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) and prednisonefor the prevention of allograft rejection.   A 42-year-old white male with end-stage  相似文献

  Diffuse alveolar haemorrhage (DAH) often mimics, clinicallyand radiologically, severe pneumonia or ARDS [1]. The causesof DAH include a variety of non-infectious diseases, e.g. collagenvascular disease. In DAH associated with SLE, a regimen of corticosteroidscombined with cyclophosphamide and plasma exchange is generallyrecommended [2]. We describe here a ventilated SLE patient withDAH refractory to standard therapies.

  Traditionally, peritoneal dialysis is performed using a volumeof 2 l of fluid, containing glucose as an osmotic agent andlactate as a buffer. Currently, both the volume to be appliedand the composition of the dialysis solution are subject todiscussion. An interesting contribution with respect to thevalue of pH-neutral dialysis solutions is reported in this issueof Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation [1].   Historically, 2 l of dialysis fluid are administered for thedwell during peritoneal dialysis in adult patients.

  Acute renal failure due to phosphate nephropathy following bowelcleansing with an oral sodium phosphate solution is a rare,but well-known, complication [1]. Several authors have reporteddiffuse tubular injury and tubular deposition of calcium phosphatein biopsies taken from such patients [1–4]. In these patients,the term acute phosphate nephropathy more aptly describes thisentity than the previously used term acute nephrocalcinosis[1]. It has been a matter of debate whether these changes aredirectly induced by the phosphate load or whether they werebeing present before the procedure [3]. We, therefore, reporta patient with acute phosphate nephropathy who had kidney biopsiestaken before and after bowel cleansing with sodium phosphate.   In 2002, a 69-year-old woman was  相似文献

  Heavy chain deposition disease (HCDD) is a rare manifestationof plasma cell dyscrasia. Only 11 cases have been describedin the literature [1]. The clinical picture is variable, butin all patients renal biopsy showed a nodular sclerosing glomerulopathy[1–5]. We report a patient with rapidly progressive glomerulonephritisin whom the renal biopsy showed mainly intracapillary proliferativeglomerulonephritis due to HCDD.   The patient is a 55-year-old musician with an uneventful medicalhistory except ankylosing spondylitis diagnosed at the age of47.

  Haemodialysis access graft is so important as to be called alifeline for the patient on maintenance haemodialysis. The vascularaccess problem is the leading cause of admission in patientswith end-stage renal disease. Many complications of the prostheticvascular access graft are reported, such as graft thrombosis,infection, aneurysm or pseudoaneurysm, and arterial steal syndrome[1]. We recently experienced two cases of graft thrombosis relatedto the iatrogenic fistula between haemodialysis access graftand autogenous vein at the needling site during haemodialysis.We report our cases with their clinical manifestation and thetreatment outcome and possible methods of prevention [2].   A 76-year-old female on long-term haemodialysis  相似文献

  • Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the commonest cardiacarrhythmia; its incidence increases with age.
  • Diabetes mellitus,hypertension and ventricular hypertrophy are commonly associatedwith non-valvular atrial fibrillation.
  • Primary aims of managementof AF are conversion to sinus rhythm, maintenance of sinus rhythmand prevention of thromboembolic complications.
  • In elderlypatients who are asymptomatic, adequate rate control of AF appearsto offer the same benefits as rhythm control.
  • Chronic AF carriesa high risk of ischaemic stroke from thromboembolism; all patientsat risk must receive adequate anticoagulation.
  • Anticoagulationshould be continued in patients with risk factors despite successfulconversion to sinus rhythm.
  Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the commonest cardiac arrhythmia.The incidence increases with age and affects 5% of UK populationabove the age of 65 yr and 10% above 75 yr.1 2 In the UnitedStates, AF accounts for more than 35% of all admissions forcardiac arrhythmias.3 Men are . . .
