ABSTRACT

Abstract Introduction: Glomerulonephritis are the third cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD) requiring dialysis in Brazil. Mineral and bone disorder (MBD) is one of the complications of CKD and is already present in the early stages. Assessment of carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) and flow-mediated vasodilatation (FMV) are non-invasive ways of assessing cardiovascular risk. Hypothesis: Patients with primary glomerulonephritis (PG) have high prevalence of atherosclerosis and endothelial dysfunction, not fully explained by traditional risk factors, but probably influenced by the early onset of MBD. Objective: To evaluate the main markers of atherosclerosis in patients with PG. Method: Clinical, observational, cross-sectional and controlled study. Patients with PG were included and those under 18 years of age, pregnants, those with less than three months of follow-up and those with secondary glomerulonephritis were excluded. Those who, at the time of exams collection, had proteinuria higher than 6 grams/24 hours and using prednisone at doses higher than 0.2 mg/kg/day were also excluded. Results: 95 patients were included, 88 collected the exams, 1 was excluded and 23 did not undergo the ultrasound scan. Patients with PG had a higher mean CIMT compared to controls (0.66 versus 0.60), p = 0.003. After multivariate analysis, age and values for systolic blood pressure (SBP), FMV and GFR (p = 0.02); and FMV and serum uric acid (p = 0.048) remained statistically relevant. Discussion and conclusion: The higher cardiovascular risk in patients with PG was not explained by early MBD. Randomized and multicentric clinical studies are necessary to better assess this hypothesis.


Resumo Introdução: Glomerulopatias são a terceira causa de doença renal crônica (DRC) com necessidade de diálise no Brasil. Distúrbio mineral e ósseo (DMO) é uma das complicações da DRC e está presente já nos estágios iniciais. A avaliação da espessura médio-intimal de carótidas (EMIC) e da vasodilatação fluxo-mediada (VFM) são maneiras não invasivas de avaliação do risco cardiovascular. Hipótese: Pacientes com glomerulopatias primárias (GP) apresentam alta prevalência de aterosclerose e disfunção endotelial, não explicada totalmente pelos fatores de risco tradicionais, mas provavelmente influenciada pela instalação precoce do DMO. Objetivo: Avaliar os principais marcadores de aterosclerose em pacientes com GP. Método: Estudo clínico, observacional, transversal e controlado. Foram incluídos portadores de GP e excluídos menores de 18 anos, gestantes, menos de três meses de seguimento e os com glomerulopatia secundária. Também foram excluídos aqueles que, no momento da coleta, apresentavam proteinúria maior que 6 gramas/24 horas e uso de prednisona em doses superiores a 0,2 mg/kg/dia. Resultados: 95 pacientes foram incluídos, 88 colheram os exames, 1 foi excluído e 23 não realizaram a ultrassonografia. Os pacientes com GP apresentaram maior EMIC média em relação ao controle (0,66 versus 0,60), p = 0,003. Após análise multivariada, mantiveram relevância estatística a idade e os valores de pressão arterial sistólica (PAS), VFM e TFG (p = 0,02) e VFM e ácido úrico sérico (p = 0,048). Discussão e conclusão: Pacientes com GP apresentaram maior risco cardiovascular, entretanto esse risco não foi explicitado pelo DMO precoce. Estudos clínicos randomizados e multicêntricos são necessários para melhor determinação dessa hipótese.

ABSTRACT

A doença renal crônica (DRC) é caracterizada por uma perda progressiva da função renal e suas principais causas são hipertensão arterial (HA) e diabete melito. Entre as causas de HA, podemos destacar a doença renal aterosclerótica (DRA). O desenvolvimento de DRC nos pacientes com DRA parece ser decorrente não apenas do acometimento das artérias renais principais, mas também da microcirculação renal, o que pode justificar o fato de o sucesso do procedimento não garantir uma melhora da evolução da DRC. Até o presente momento, não existe evidência de benefício da angioplastia em relação ao tratamento clínico exclusivo nos pacientes com DRA. O presente trabalho analisa os estudos mais significantes sobre os desfechos renais em pacientes portadores de DRA submetidos à revascularização ou ao tratamento clínico exclusivo.


Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is characterized by a progressive loss of renal function and its main causes are hypertension and diabetes mellitus. Among the causes of hypertension is atherosclerotic renal disease (ARD). The development of CKD in patients with ARD appears to be due not only to the involvement of the main renal arteries, but also of the renal microcirculation, which may explain the fact that the success of the procedure does not guarantee an improvement in the progression of CKD. To date there is no evidence of benefit of angioplasty compared to medical treatment alone in patients with ARD. The present paper analyzes the most significant studies on renal outcomes in patients with ARD undergoing revascularization or medical treatment alone.

ABSTRACT

A doença renal crônica (DRC) é caracterizada por uma perda progressiva da função renal e suas principais causas são hipertensão arterial sistêmica (HAS) e diabete melito. Entre as causas de HAS podemos destacar a doença renal aterosclerótica (DRA), que acomete principalmente idosos e muitas vezes não é diagnosticada. Existe uma alta incidência de complicações cardiovasculares em pacientes com DRA quando comparados com indivíduos da mesma idade, mas com artérias renais normais. Uma explicação seria a presença de aterosclerose em outros vasos, como artérias coronarianas e cerebrais. Outra hipótese seria o efeito deletério causado pela ativação do sistema renina angiotensina aldosterona secundária à isquemia renal. O desenvolvimento de DRC nos pacientes com DRA parece ser decorrente não apenas do acometimento das artérias renais principais, mas também da microcirculação renal, o que pode justificar o fato de o sucesso do procedimento não garantir uma melhora da evolução da DRC. Até o presente momento não existe evidência de benefício da angioplastia em relação ao tratamento clínico exclusivo nos pacientes com DRA. O presente trabalho procurou identificar algum subgrupo de pacientes com DRA que se beneficiaria da angioplastia com implante de endoprótese. Foram incluídos inicialmente 136 pacientes com diagnóstico arteriográfico de estenose de artéria renal superior a 60% do diâmetro do vaso uni ou bilateralmente, com idade superior a 18 anos identificados no Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina de Botucatu. Os critérios de exclusão foram: pacientes com menos de cinco medidas de creatinina antes ou após o procedimento, pacientes com estenose não aterosclerótica e aqueles submetidos a mais de uma angioplastia renal. Foi calculado o coeficiente de inclinação da reta de regressão do inverso da creatinina antes e após o procedimento angiográfico...


Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is characterized by an irreversible loss of kidney function and its main causes are hypertension and diabetes mellitus. Among the causes of hypertension, atherosclerotic renal disease (ARD) is one of them, which mainly affects the elderly and is often not diagnosed. There is a high incidence of adverse cardiovascular events in patients with ARD compared with individuals of the same age but with normal renal arteries. One explanation is the presence of atherosclerosis in other vessels. Another hypothesis is the deleterious effects caused by activation of the rennin angiotensin aldosterone system secondary to renal ischemia. The development of CKD in patients with ARD happens not only by the involvement of the main renal arteries, but also by the involvement of the microcirculation, what may explain the fact that the success of the procedure does not guarantee an improvement in the development of CKD. To date there is no evidence of benefit of angioplasty compared to medical treatment alone in patients with ARD. This study sought to identify a subgroup of patients with ARD that would benefit from angioplasty with stent implantation. We included 136 patients initially diagnosed with arteriographic renal artery stenosis greater than 60% of the vessel diameter uni-or bilaterally, aged over 18 years identified in the hospital of Botucatu Medical School. Patients with less than five measures of creatinine before or after the procedure, patients with no atherosclerotic stenosis and those subjected to more than one renal angioplasty were excluded from the study. Among the 136 patients, 52 were selected and divided into two groups. Group 1 consisted of patients with progressive worsening of renal function and group 2 patients with stable renal function...

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: This study sought to outline the clinical and laboratory characteristics of minimal change disease in adolescents and adults and establish the clinical and laboratory characteristics of relapsing and non-relapsing patients. METHODS: We retrospectively evaluated patients with confirmed diagnoses of minimal change disease by renal biopsy from 1979 to 2009; the patients were aged >13 years and had minimum 1-year follow-ups. RESULTS: Sixty-three patients with a median age (at diagnosis) of 34 (23-49) years were studied, including 23 males and 40 females. At diagnosis, eight (12.7%) patients presented with microscopic hematuria, 17 (27%) with hypertension and 17 (27%) with acute kidney injury. After the initial treatment, 55 (87.3%) patients showed complete remission, six (9.5%) showed partial remission and two (3.1%) were nonresponders. Disease relapse was observed in 34 (54%) patients who were initial responders (n = 61). In a comparison between the relapsing patients (n = 34) and the non-relapsing patients (n = 27), only proteinuria at diagnosis showed any significant difference (8.8 (7.1-12.0) vs. 6.0 (3.6-7.3) g/day, respectively, p = 0.001). Proteinuria greater than 7 g/day at the initial screening was associated with relapsing disease. CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion, minimal change disease in adults may sometimes present concurrently with hematuria, hypertension, and acute kidney injury. The relapsing pattern in our patients was associated with basal proteinuria over 7 g/day.
