ABSTRACT

Resumen Introducción: el trasplante renal es el tratamiento de elección para los pacientes con enfermedad renal crónica terminal; sin embargo, un trasplante renal anticipado no siempre es posible y muchos pacientes requieren algún tipo de terapia de reemplazo renal previa al trasplante. Objetivo: este estudio tiene como objetivo evaluar los desenlaces a corto y largo plazo, post-trasplante renal, de acuerdo con la modalidad de diálisis previa al trasplante. Métodos: estudio de tipo cohorte retrospectiva. Se incluyeron pacientes mayores de 18 años que recibieron un trasplante renal durante 2005-2018. Inicialmente se realizó estadística descriptiva y posteriormente se realizó análisis multivariado mediante un modelo de riesgos proporcionales de Cox, con el objetivo de evaluar la relación entre la supervivencia del paciente y del injerto y la necesidad de diálisis previa al trasplante. Se evaluó, además, la tasa de filtración glomerular durante los primeros dos años del trasplante renal. Resultados: durante 2005-2018 se realizaron 925 trasplantes renales, 289 estaban en diálisis peritoneal, 439 en hemodiálisis y 197 no estaban en diálisis. La supervivencia del paciente a 6, 12, 24, 48 y 60 meses posterior al trasplante renal fue de 97,5 %, 96,7 %, 96,0 %, 93,7 % y 92,3 %, respectivamente, y del injerto fue de 94,5 %, 92,9 %, 90,5 %, 84,8 %, 81,1 %, también respectivamente, sin encontrar diferencia estadísticamente significativa entre los que tuvieron diálisis peritoneal vs. hemodiálisis (p = 0,402, p = 0,180), tampoco se encontraron diferencias significativas en el análisis multivariado. El 8,1 % de los pacientes presentó rechazo agudo en el primer año post trasplante y el 13,2 % durante todo el seguimiento, sin encontrarse diferencias significativas entre los que habían tenido diálisis peritoneal vs. hemodiálisis. No se encontraron diferencias en la TFG. Conclusiones: no se encontraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas en los desenlaces duros a corto y largo plazo, según la modalidad de diálisis pretrasplante.


Abstract Introduction: kidney transplantation is the standard treatment option for patients with end-stage chronic kidney disease. However, early kidney transplantation is not always possible, and many patients require renal replacement therapy. This study aims to evaluate the short and long-term outcomes after kidney transplantation in patients undergoing dialysis therapy before transplantation. Methods: a retrospective cohort of renal transplant patients older than 18 years of age were evaluated during the years 2005-2018. A descriptive analysis was performed. A proportional Cox-Hazard model was used to evaluate the relationship between patient and transplant survival and pre-transplant dialysis. An analysis of variance was used to compare the glomerular filtration rate during the first two years after transplantation. Results: between 2005-2018, 925 kidney transplants were performed, of which 289 required peritoneal dialysis, 439 haemodialysis and 197 did not require dialysis. Patient and transplant survival rates at 6, 12, 24, 48, 60 months after kidney transplantation were 97.5%, 96.7%, 96.0%, 93.7%, 92.3%, 94.5%, 92.9%, 90.5%, 84.8%, 81.1%. No statistically significant difference was found between peritoneal dialysis patients and hemodialysis patients (p=0.402, p=0.180). Acute rejection occurred in 8.1% of patients in the first year after transplantation and in 13.2% during the entire follow-up. Glomerular filtration rate values were similar in patients with and those without pre-transplant dialysis Conclusions: there were no significant statistical differences in short and long-term outcomes among patients undergoing pre-transplant dialysis vs. no.

ABSTRACT

Se muestra el caso de un paciente con 56 años de edad, con un síndrome adenomegálico generalizado que presentó un linfoma de Hodgkin de celularidad mixta, asociado al virus de Epstein-Barr. El paciente previo al inicio del linfoma presentó episodios prolongados de estrés emocional, lo que posiblemente contribuyó a la disminución de la vigilancia inmunológica. El caso fue abordado por los estudiantes de quinto semestre en la asignatura Acto médico, una estrategia didáctica interdisciplinaria. Este artículo presenta los aspectos a tener en cuenta en el enfoque clínico de los pacientes con adenopatías desde una perspectiva integradora de la inmunología, la clínica y los diagnósticos diferenciales. Se resalta el valor del estudio de los casos clínicos con varios métodos diagnósticos como estrategia didáctica. Finalmente, se realiza una revisión de la literatura sobre el linfoma Hodgkin orientada al papel en el que participa la infección por el virus de Epstein-Barr, relacionada con la inmunosupresión por estrés.


SUMMARY We present the case of a 56-year-old patient with a generalized adenomegalic syndrome who presented a mixed cellular Hodgkin's lymphoma associated with Epstein Barr Virus. The patient had had great emotional stress prior to the onset of lymphoma, which possibly contributed to the decrease in immunological surveillance. The case was addressed by the students of the fifth semester in the subject "Medical Act", an interdisciplinary didactic strategy. We present the aspects to be taken into account in the approach of the clinician of patients with adenopathies from an integrative perspective of immunology, clinical and differential diagnoses; and the value of the study of clinical cases with several diagnostic approaches as a didactic strategy is highlighted. Finally, we present a literature review about Hodgkin lymphoma and the role which plays stress related Epstein Barr Virus infection.

ABSTRACT

Background: Balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) is a therapeutic alternative for patients with inoperable chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). Aim: To report the initial experience with the "refined BPA technique" with the use of intravascular images. Patients and Methods: Between June 2015 and June 2016 we selected fourteen patients with CTEPH who were considered candidates for BPA. Lesions targeted for treatment were further analyzed using intravascular imaging with optical frequency domain imaging (OFDI). We report the immediate hemodynamic results and four weeks of follow-up of the first eight patients of this series. Results: We performed 16 BPA in eight patients aged 61 ± 14 years (88% women). Mean pulmonary artery pressure (PAPm) was 48.6 ± 5.8 mmHg. Success was achieved in seven patients (88%). A mean of 2.3 segments per patient were intervened in 11 sessions (1.6 sessions/ patient). Only one patient developed lung reperfusion injury. No mortality was associated with the procedure. After the last BPA session, PAPm decreased to 37.4 ± 8.6 mmHg (p=0.02). Pulmonary vascular resistance (RVP) decreased from 858,6 ± 377,0 at baseline to 516,6 ± 323,3 Dynes/sec/cm−5 (p<0.01) and the cardiac index increased from 2.4±0.6 at baseline to 2.8±0.3 L/min/m2 (p=0.01). At 4 weeks after the last BPA, WHO functional class improved from 3.3±0.5 to 2.5±0.5 (p<0,01) and six minutes walking distance from 331±92 to 451±149 m (p=0.01). Conclusions: BPA guided by OFDI for the treatment of inoperable CTEPH patients is a safe alternative with excellent immediate hemodynamic and clinical results.

ABSTRACT

El pseudotumor inflamatorio o tumor miofibroblástico del bazo es una neoplasia primaria esplénica benigna, inusual, descrita también en otros órganos linfoides, tracto gastrointestinal, meninges y tejidos blandos. No se conoce con claridad la causa, pero se han propuesto teorías relacionadas con déficit inmunológico, infección por virus Epstein Barr y trastornos vasculares. El caso que se describe en un paciente joven corresponde a esta patología que hasta donde investigamos no se ha descrito en nuestro país y son pocos los reportados en la literatura...


Inflammatory pseudotumor or myofibroblastic tumor of the spleen is an uncommon primary benign neoplasm, described in other lymphoid organs such as, gastrointestinal tract, meninges and soft tissues. Its cause is not clearly known, but some theories such as immunologic deficiency related causes, Epstein Barr virus infection and vascular disorder, have been proposed. The described case in a young patient corresponds to this condition. To the best of our knowledge, this condition has not been described in our country and few cases have been reported in the literature...
