ABSTRACT

Angostura trifoliata (Willd) T.S. Elías (Rutaceae) es una planta, cuya corteza es empleada en Venezuela para el tratamiento de la diabetes mellitus, la malaria y la disminución de peso. Sin embargo, se ha demostrado que altas dosis de su extracto administrados en forma aguda producen hiperglicemia y alteraciones neurológicas. El objetivo de este estudio fue correlacionar los efectos histológicos a nivel hepático y renal en ratones sanos con la hiperglicemia aguda producida por el extracto de la corteza de esta planta. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio experimental in vivo utilizando el extracto diluido en agua y administrado vía ip a dosis de 452 y 700 mg/kg; se determinó la glicemia utilizando un glucómetro comercial; los efectos histológicos con hematoxilina eosina previa fijación de los órganos con formaldehído al 10%. En todos los casos, se comparó con el grupo control. Resultados: el extracto produjo hiperglicemia significativamente P<0,05. En el tejido hepático causó: pérdida parcial de su arquitectura, binucleación, vasos congestivos con elementos inflamatorios, núcleos hipercromáticos, espacios de Disse dilatados con hematíes y áreas de necrosis. En el riñón originó congestión vascular en los tubos contorneados proximales y distales, concomitante con ruptura y necrosis de la membrana basal. Conclusión: el extracto produce toxicidad hepática y renal que se correlacionan con hiperglicemia, por lo que podría ser considerado como un agente hepatotóxico y nefrotóxico. (AU)


Angostura trifoliata (Willd) T.S. Elías (Rutaceae) is a plant, whose bark is used in Venezuela for the treatment of diabetes mellitus, malaria and weight loss. However, it has been shown that high doses of its extract administered acutely produce hyperglycemia and neurological alterations. The objective of this study was to correlate the histological effects at the liver and kidney level in healthy mice with the acute hyperglycemia produced by the bark extract of this plant. Methods: An in vivo experimental study was carried out using the extract diluted in water and administered ip at doses of 452 and 700 mg/kg; blood glucose was determined using a commercial glucometer; the histological effects with hematoxylin eosin after fixation of the organs with 10% formaldehyde. In all cases, it was compared with the control group. Results: the extract produced hyperglycemia significantly P<0.05. In the liver tissue it caused: partial loss of its architecture, binucleation, congested vessels with inflammatory elements, hyperchromatic nuclei, dilated spaces of Disse with red blood cells and areas of necrosis. In the kidney, it caused vascular congestion in the proximal and distal convoluted tubes, concomitant with rupture and necrosis of the basement membrane. Conclusion: the extract produces liver and kidney toxicity that correlates with hyperglycemia, so it could be considered a hepatotoxic and nephrotoxic agent. (AU)

ABSTRACT

Objetivos: Millones de pacientes con COVID-19 fueron internados en terapia intensiva en el mundo, la mitad desarrollaron síndrome de dificultad respiratoria aguda (SDRA) y recibieron ventilación mecánica invasiva (VMI), con una mortalidad del 50%. Analiza-mos cómo edad, comorbilidades y complicaciones, en pacientes con COVID-19 y SDRA que recibieron VMI, se asociaron con el riesgo de morir durante su hospitalización.Métodos: Estudio de cohorte observacional, retrospectivo y multicéntrico realizado en 5 hospitales (tres privados y dos públicos universitarios) de Argentina y Chile, durante el segundo semestre de 2020.Se incluyeron pacientes >18 años con infección por SARS-CoV-2 confirmada RT-PCR, que desarrollaron SDRA y fueron asistidos con VMI durante >48 horas, durante el se-gundo semestre de 2020. Se analizaron los antecedentes, las comorbilidades más fre-cuentes (obesidad, diabetes e hipertensión), y las complicaciones shock, insuficiencia renal aguda (IRA) y neumonía asociada a la ventilación mecánica (NAV), por un lado, y las alteraciones de parámetros clínicos y de laboratorio registrados.Resultados: El 69% era varón. La incidencia de comorbilidades difirió para los diferentes grupos de edad. La mortalidad aumentó significativamente con la edad (p<0,00001). Las comorbilidades, hipertensión y diabetes, y las complicaciones de IRA y shock se asociaron significativamente con la mortalidad. En el análisis multivariado, sólo la edad mayor de 60 años, la IRA y el shock permanecieron asociados con la mortalidad. Conclusiones: El SDRA en COVID-19 es más común entre los mayores. Solo la edad >60 años, el shock y la IRA se asociaron a la mortalidad en el análisis multivariado.


Objectives: Millions of patients with COVID-19 were admitted to intensive care world-wide, half developed acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and received invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV), with a mortality of 50%. We analyzed how age, comor-bidities and complications in patients with COVID-19 and ARDS who received IMV were associated with the risk of dying during their hospitalization.Methods: Observational, retrospective and multicenter cohort study carried out in 5 hospitals (three private and two public university hospitals) in Argentina and Chile, during the second half of 2020.Patients >18 years of age with SARS-CoV-2 infection confirmed by RT-PCR, who devel-oped ARDS and were assisted with IMV for >48 hours, during the second half of 2020, were included. History, the most frequent comorbidities (obesity, diabetes and hyper-tension) and the complications of shock, acute renal failure (AKI) and pneumonia as-sociated with mechanical ventilation (VAP), on the one hand, and the alterations of re-corded clinical and laboratory parameters, were analyzed.Results: 69% were men. The incidence of comorbidities differed for different age groups. Mortality increased significantly with age (p<0.00001). Comorbidities, hyper-tension and diabetes, and complications of ARF and shock were significantly associat-ed with mortality. In the multivariate analysis, only age over 60 years, ARF and shock remained associated with mortality.Conclusions: ARDS in COVID-19 is more common among the elderly. Only age >60 years, shock and ARF were associated with mortality in the multivariate analysis

La supervivencia a los cinco años después de iniciar diálisis se encuentra entre un 39 a 60 % dependiendo del país. Objetivo. Describir la situación epidemiológica de los pacientes con diálisis y analizar los factores que influyen en la supervivencia de pacientes a cinco años de iniciar tratamiento sustitutivo renal en El Salvador. Metodología. Estudio de cohorte retrospectivo de los pacientes incluidos en el Registro Nacional de Diálisis y Trasplante Renal desde enero de 2016 hasta febrero de 2023. El seguimiento se comenzó al inicio de la diálisis, el evento de interés fue la muerte del paciente. Se utilizó el método de Kaplan-Meier para determinar la supervivencia al año y a los cinco años y la regresión de Cox con el modelo de Royston-Parmar para analizar los factores que influyen sobre la supervivencia a los cinco años. Resultados. El estudio incluyó 7088 pacientes, la supervivencia a uno y cinco años fue del 79,5 % (IC 95 %: 78,6-80,5) y 50,6 % (IC 95 %: 49,1-52,1) respectivamente. La regresión de Cox para la edad de inicio de tratamiento resultó en un hazard ratio de 1,02 (IC 95 %: 1,01-1,02), mientras que para el oficio de ser agricultor el hazard ratio fue 1,1 (IC 95 %: 1,01-1,18) y para la etiología hipertensiva el hazard ratio fue de 0,7 (IC 95 %: 0,64-0,78). Conclusión. La edad de inicio de tratamiento y el ser agricultor están asociados con una menor supervivencia a cinco años en pacientes con diálisis


Introduction. The chronic kidney disease is responsible for approximately 2.4 million deaths worldwide, in El Salvador during 2019 death rate was 72.9 for 100 000 habitants, five year survival in patients after starting dialysis was between 39 and 60 % depending on the country. Objective. Analyze the factors that influence the five years survival in patients after starting renal replacement therapy in El Salvador. Methodology. It is a retrospective cohort study from patients included in dialysis and renal replacement therapy national registry from January 2016 to February 2023, the start point for the following was the initiation of dialysis, the event of interest was patient ́s death, the Kaplan-Meier method was used to determine one year and five year survival; and Cox regression with Royston-Parmar model was used to analyze the factors that influence survival. Results. The study included 7088 patients, one and five-years survival was 79.5 % (CI 95 %: 78.6-80.5) and 50.6 % (CI 95 %: 49.1-52.1) respectively. The Cox regression for age of treatment initiation resulted in a hazard ratio of 1.02 (CI 95 %: 1.01-1.02), while for farmers, the hazard ratio was 1.09 (CI 95 %: 1.00-1.18), for hypertensive etiology the hazard ratio was 0.7 (CI 95 %: 0.64-0.78). Conclusion. Data suggest that age of treatment initiation, and jobs related to agriculture were associated with less five year survival in dialysis patients.

ABSTRACT

Objective@#This study sought to define the profile and outcome of Covid-19 in adult patients with renal insufficiency admitted to the Bicol Regional Training and Teaching Hospital (BRTTH) from March 1, 2020, to February 28, 2021.@*Methods@#Retrospective cross-sectional study and utilized descriptive statistics.@*Results@#A total of 49 patients who tested positive for Covid- 19 also had renal insufficiency. The included patients were aged 51 to 60 (26.5%) and 61 to 70 (26.5%) years old, almost equal in sex distribution. Majority were unemployed (81.6%). On clinical profile most have no history of smoking (85.7%), alcohol intake (81.6%), and drug illicit use (100%). Predominantly the eGFR level was less than 15 mL/min (89.8%), with diabetes mellitus (36.7%) as the leading cause of renal insufficiency, followed by hypertension (61.2%). Majority received hemodialysis (81.6%) and advised for the continuation of hemodialysis (51%) upon discharge. Their length of stay was from 0-5 days (30.6%) with most being admitted to the intensive care unit (55.1%). Most were eventually discharged (63.3%).@*Conclusion@#Patients admitted in this hospital who had Covid-19 and renal insufficiency were between 51-70 years old, almost equally divided between males and females, and unemployed. Majority denied smoking, alcohol intake, and drug illicit use. The average eGFR was less than 15 mL/min, had diabetes mellitus and hypertension as a co-morbidity. The treatment received upon admission consisted mostly of hemodialysis only. Their length of hospital stay was 0-5 days with most being admitted to the ICU. Majority of the patients were eventually discharged.

ABSTRACT

Context and objective. Age and gender can influence the course and outcome of patients in dialysis. This study aimed to evaluate the age and gender disparities in dialysis patients. Methods. This was a 5-year retrospective study of medical records of kidney failure (KF) patients who underwent maintenance haemodialysis between January 2016 and December 2020 in the Nephrology units of the Douala General Hospital and the Buea Regional Hospital. Results. Of the 354 patients enrolled, 63% were male and 21.1% were 65 years and above. Male patients were older, [49 years vs 45.5 years, p=0.027]. Male patients were initiated on dialysis early compared to females (5.56 ml/min/1.73 m2 vs. 4.85 ml/min/1.73m2, p= 0.060). Patients aged ≥ 65 years significantly had the highest glomerular filtration rate (GFR) at initiation (5.6 vs 7.86, p=0.005). Gender, and age did not influence the type of vascular access. Male patients were more hospitalized (22% vs. 6.8%, p=0.001). Patients aged ≥ 65 years had the highest proportion of hospitalizations within a year after initiation of maintenance HD (47.8% vs 24.2%, p=0.001). Mortality at one year was significantly higher in older age (51.0% vs 20%, p=0.0001) and in female patients (33% vs 63%, p=0.003). Conclusion. A divergence between gender (higher in male) and age (> 65 years) has been observed in chronic haemodialysis. However, the mortality rate is higher in women, and over 65 years age.


Contexte & objectif. L'âge et le sexe peuvent influencer l'évolution et l'issue des patients en dialyse. Cette étude visait à évaluer les disparités d'âge et de sexe chez les patients en dialyse chronique. Méthodes. Il s'agissait d'une étude rétrospective de 5 ans, du janvier 2016 à décembre 2020, incluant les dossiers de tous les patients en hémodialyse d'entretien. Résultats. Sur les 354 patients inscrits, 63 % étaient des hommes et 21,1 % avaient de 65 ans et plus. Les patients de sexe masculin étaient plus âgés [49 ans contre 45,5 ans, p = 0,027]. Les patients de sexe masculin ont été initiés à la dialyse plus tôt que les femmes (5,56 ml/min/1,73 m2 contre 4,85 ml/min/1,73 m2, p = 0,060). Les patients de 65 ans et plus présentaient significativement le DFG le plus élevé au début (5,6 vs 7,86, p = 0,005). Le sexe et l'âge n'influencent pas le type d'accès vasculaire. Les patients de sexe masculin étaient plus hospitalisés (22 % contre 6,8 %, p = 0,001). Les patients de 65 ans et plus présentaient la proportion la plus élevée d'hospitalisations dans l'année suivant le début du traitement d'entretien HD (47,8 % contre 24,2 %, p = 0,001). La mortalité à un an était significativement plus élevée chez les personnes âgées (51,0 % vs 20 %, p=0,0001) et chez les patientes (33 % vs 63 %, p=0,003).

ABSTRACT

El síndrome hemolítico urémico secundario a Streptococcus pneumoniae (SHU-Sp) es una complicación poco frecuente de las enfermedades invasoras por S. pneumoniae. Presenta una alta morbimortalidad, con requerimiento de transfusiones de glóbulos rojos y plaquetas, terapia de sustitución de la función renal de inicio precoz y más prolongada, así como mayores complicaciones a largo plazo, comparado con las formas secundarias a infección entérica por Escherichia coli productora de toxina Shiga. Presentamos el caso clínico de una preescolar de dos años, previamente sana, vacunada con tres dosis de PCV13, que desarrolló una insuficiencia renal aguda, anemia hemolítica y plaquetopenia, en el contexto de una neumonía con empiema y bacteriemia por S. pneumoniae.


Streptococcus pneumoniae associated hemolytic uremic syndrome (Sp-HUS) is an uncommon complication of invasive pneumococcal infections. Patients with Sp-HUS have a higher mortality and long term morbidity than those due to HUS from Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli infections (STEC-HUS). They often require more red blood cells and platelet transfusions, and early initiation of renal substitution therapy, presenting a higher rate of arterial hypertension and chronic renal disease in the long term, compared to STEC-HUS. We report a healthy 2 year-old infant, vaccinated with three doses PCV13, that developed acute renal failure, hemolytic anemia and thrombocytopenia in the course of a complicated pneumococcal pneumonia with empyema and bacteremia.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: embora o Coronavírus da Síndrome Respiratória Aguda Grave 2 (SARS-CoV-2) seja mais conhecido por causar patologias respiratórias substanciais, o vírus também pode resultar em várias manifestações extrapulmonares, sobretudo nas alas de cuidados intensivos. Frente a essas implicações multissistêmicas, a monitoração do suporte ventilatório e utilização do escore Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) foram fundamentais no manejo do paciente crítico com COVID-19 nas Unidades de Terapia Intensiva (UTIs) durante a pandemia. Objetivo: esse estudo pretende analisar os parâmetros ventilatórios e escore SOFA de pacientes com COVID-19 numa UTI no sul do Brasil e as principais complicações ocasionadas. Metodologia: foi realizado um estudo de coorte retrospectivo que analisou prontuários de pacientes com diagnóstico de COVID-19 na UTI do Hospital Nossa Senhora da Conceição, no estado de Santa Catarina, entre março de 2020 a dezembro de 2021. Resultados: foram incluídos 448 pacientes, com média de idade de 58,5 (±15,1) anos, mediana de internação de 15 (9-24) dias e média de ventilação mecânica de 15 (±8,7) dias, evoluindo para óbito 63,3%. Durante a internação, 86,4% das pessoas sofreram complicações, dentre as mais prevalentes Insuficiência Renal Aguda (46,8%) seguida por Pneumonia Associada à Ventilação (41,9%) e Choque séptico (22%). Na evolução clínica, o escore SOFA e a relação da pressão parcial de oxigênio pela fração de oxigênio inspirado (PaO2/FiO2) foram fatores de desfecho desfavorável nas três semanas de internação, com SOFA ≥ 5 e relação PaO2/FiO2 < 200. Além disso, 3 dos 6 componentes do SOFA (renal, respiratório e coagulação) tiveram relação com a ocorrência de complicações. Conclusão: o escore SOFA e a relação PaO2/FiO2 tiveram relação no prognóstico de pacientes com COVID-19 durante as três semanas de internação na UTI. Além disso, o SOFA se mostrou um possível indicador de complicações intra-hospitalares durante a evolução clínica.


Introduction: although Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is best known for causing significant respiratory pathologies, the virus can also result in various extrapulmonary manifestations, particularly in intensive care wards. Faced with these multisystem implications, monitoring ventilatory support and using the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score were fundamental in managing critically ill patients with COVID-19 in Intensive Care Units (ICUs) during the pandemic. Objective: this study will analyse the ventilatory parameters and SOFA score of patients with COVID-19 in an ICU in southern Brazil and the main complications caused. Methodology: a retrospective cohort study was carried out that analysed medical records of patients diagnosed with COVID-19 in the ICU of Hospital Nossa Senhora da Conceição, in the state of Santa Catarina, between March 2020 and December 2021. Results: 448 patients were included, with a mean age of 58.5 (±15.1) years, a median hospital stay of 15 (9-24) days, and mean mechanical ventilation of 15 (±8.7) days, with 63.3% dying. During hospitalisation, 86.4% of people suffered complications, among the most prevalent Acute Renal Failure (46.8%), followed by Ventilation Associated Pneumonia (41.9%) and Septic Shock (22%). In the clinical evolution, the SOFA score and the ratio of partial pressure of oxygen to the fraction of inspired oxygen (PaO2/FiO2) were factors of unfavourable outcome in the three weeks of hospitalisation, with SOFA ≥ 5 and PaO2/FiO2 ratio < 200. In addition, three of the six components of the SOFA (renal, respiratory and coagulation) were related to the occurrence of complications. Conclusion: the SOFA score and the PaO2/FiO2 ratio were related to the prognosis of patients with COVID-19 during the three weeks of ICU stay. Furthermore, the SOFA proved to be a possible indicator of in-hospital complications during clinical evolution.

ABSTRACT

La enfermedad renal crónica (ERC) es un importante problema de salud pública. En el Perú al momento no existe un programa nacional de salud renal. Existe evidencia que el modelo multidisciplinario de atención en ERC mejora la calidad de atención y ha mostrado que enlentece la progresión de ERC y disminuye la mortalidad por todas las causas. Aunque aún hay puntos controversiales, como, por ejemplo, desde que nivel de tasa de filtración glomerular se debería iniciar el manejo multidisciplinario, es una práctica que ha mejorado la atención y el seguimiento de los pacientes renales. Sin embargo, se requiere para su implementación recursos financieros y profesionales y una capacidad organizativa del sistema de salud, que quizás en nuestro país se convierte en un reto.


SUMMARY Chronic renal disease (CRD) is an important public health problem. There is no a national renal health program in Peru. There is evidence that the multidisciplinary model of care in patients with CRD delays progression and reduces all-cause mortality. Although there is no agreement on certain topics, such as at which glomerular filtration rate should the multidisciplinary team work, it is clear that outcomes are improved. Human and financial resources are needed to implement this approach.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To investigate the effects of different types of heart failure on long-term renal prognosis in patients with renal insufficiency and heart failure. Methods: The patients with renal insufficiency [baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate < 60 ml·min-1·(1.73 m2)-1] and heart failure followed-up for more than 2 years and hospitalized in Beijing Anzhen Hospital, Capital Medical University from January 1, 2018 to June 30, 2019 were enrolled in this retrospective cohort study. The patients were divided into three groups based on the baseline left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF): heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF, LVEF < 40%) group, heart failure with mildly reduced ejection fraction (HFmrEF, 40% ≤ LVEF < 50%) group, and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF, LVEF ≥ 50%) group. Clinical data were collected and endpoint events (adverse renal outcome: the composite outcome of all-cause death or worsening renal function) were recorded through the electronic medical record system. Kaplan-Meier survival curve was used to analyze the incidence of endpoint events of different heart failure subgroups. Cox regression model was performed to analyze the risk factors of endpoint events. Results: A total of 228 patients with renal insufficiency complicated with heart failure were included, with age of (68.14±14.21) years old and 138 males (60.5%). There were 85 patients (37.3%) in the HFrEF group, 40 patients (17.5%) in the HFmrEF group, and 103 patients (45.2%) in the HFpEF group. There were statistically significant differences in age, proportion of age > 65 years old, sex distribution, systolic blood pressure, pulmonary artery pressure, serum sodium, serum calcium, hemoglobin, serum cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, serum uric acid, troponin I, hypersensitive C-reactive protein, LVEF, ventricular septal thickness, left ventricular end-diastolic diameter, B-type natriuretic peptide, estimated glomerular filtration rate, and proportions of using beta blockers, using spirolactone, myocardial infarction, hypertension, cardiomyopathy and atrial fibrillation (all P < 0.05). During the median follow-up of 36.0 (28.0, 46.0) months, 73 patients (32.0%) had adverse renal outcomes. The total incidences of adverse renal outcomes were 32.9% (28/85) in the HFrEF group, 35.0% (14/40) in the HFmrEF group, and 30.1% (31/103) in the HFpEF group. Kaplan-Meier survival curve showed that there was no significant difference in the incidence of endpoint events among the three groups (log-rank test χ2=0.17, P=0.680). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that HFpEF (HFrEF as reference, HR=2.430, 95% CI 1.055-5.596, P=0.037) was an independent influencing factor of endpoint events. Conclusions: The long-term renal prognosis of patients with renal insufficiency and heart failure is poor. Compared with HFrEF, HFpEF is an independent risk factor of poor long-term renal prognosis in renal insufficiency patients with heart failure.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the efficacy and safety of daratumumab in treatment of multiple myeloma (MM) patients with renal impairment (RI).@*METHODS@#The clinical data of 15 MM patients with RI who received daratumumab-based regimen from January 2021 to March 2022 in three centers were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were treated with daratumumab or daratumumab combined with dexamethasone or daratumumab combined with bortezomib and dexamethasone and the curative effect and survival were analyzed.@*RESULTS@#The median age of 15 patients was 64 (ranged 54-82) years old. Six patients were IgG-MM, 2 were IgA-MM,1 was IgD-MM and 6 were light chain MM. Median estinated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was 22.48 ml/(min·1.73 M2). Overall response rate of 11 patients with MM was 91% (≥MR), including 1 case of stringent complete response (sCR), 2 cases of very good partial response (VGPR), 3 cases of partial response (PR) and 4 cases of minor response (MR). The rate of renal response was 60%(9/15), including 4 cases of complete response (CR), 1 case of PR and 4 cases of MR. A median time of optimal renal response was 21 (ranged 7-56) days. With a median follow-up of 3 months, the median progression-free survival and overall survival of all patients were not reached. After treatment with daratumumab-based regimen, grade 1-2 neutropenia was the most common hematological adverse reaction. Non-hematological adverse reactions were mainly infusion-related adverse reactions and infections.@*CONCLUSION@#Daratumumab-based regimens have good short-term efficacy and safety in the treatment of multiple myeloma patients with renal impairment.

Factors of kidney diseases, kidney health has become an issue of public health concern and priority, especially in low and middle-income countries like Nigeria. A cross-sectional survey was conducted using a 34-item paper-based questionnaire. Three health-based faculties were conveniently selected from which three departments were purposely chosen in a Nigerian university. A total of 773 responses were obtained and a mean percent knowledge score of the entire study population was 74.60±12.38. The mean attitude score of the entire study population was 27.28±3.00 (possible maximum score = 36) and a mean practice score of 4.74±0.72 (possible maximum score = 5) was obtained for the entire respondents. Moderate number of students demonstrated high knowledge level and positive attitude towards kidney health. Among the three sub-themes assessed, the students demonstrated the highest percentages in good practices towards kidney health. There is need to enhance practical exposures to disease-settings and improve teaching curricula

ABSTRACT

RESUMO Objetivo: comparar o perfil de atendimento aos pacientes críticos em hemodiálise antes e durante a pandemia pela COVID-19. Método: estudo observacional realizado em um hospital de São Paulo - Brasil. Participaram pacientes críticos em hemodiálise internados em 2019 e 2020. Os dados foram coletados de documentos das sessões de hemodiálise e prontuários. Foram utilizados os testes de Qui-quadrado, Mann-Whitney, Shapiro-Wilk e Exato de Fisher para as comparações (p<0,05). Resultados: foram realizadas 212 sessões em 50 pacientes em 2019 e 873 sessões em 171 pacientes em 2020. Em 2019 os pacientes foram encaminhados para terapia intensiva e hemodiálise após 4,62±6,38 e 17,26±24,53 dias, respectivamente, e em 2020 esses períodos foram de 2,21±3,63 e 10,24±11,99 dias. Houve mais óbitos em 2020 (p=0,01) e entre os pacientes com COVID-19 (p=0,014). Conclusão: foi observado um maior número de hemodiálises em 2020 quando comparado ao quadro pré-pandêmico, situação desconhecida nos primeiros meses da pandemia.


ABSTRACT Objective: to compare the care profile for critically-ill patients on hemodialysis before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: an observational study carried out in a hospital from São Paulo, Brazil. The participants were critically-ill patients on hemodialysis hospitalized in 2019 and 2020. The data were collected from documents of hemodialysis sessions and from medical records. Chi-square, Mann-Whitney, Shapiro-Wilk and Fisher's Exact tests were used for comparisons (p<0.05). Results: a total of 212 sessions were performed with 50 patients in 2019 and 873 sessions with 171 patients in 2020. In 2019, the patients were referred to intensive care and hemodialysis after 4.62 ± 6.38 and 17.26 ± 24.53 days, respectively, and in 2020 these periods corresponded to 2.21 ± 3.63 and 10.24 ± 11.99 days. There were more deaths in 2020 (p=0.01) and among patients with COVID-19 (p=0.014). Conclusion: more hemodialysis sessions were observed in 2020 when compared to pre-pandemic times, an unknown situation in the first months of the pandemic.

ABSTRACT

Dermatomyositis is a rare disease with important implications regarding the anesthetic management of the patient. The possibility of the development of hyperkalemic crises, malignant hyperthermia or myotonic crises forces us to know which drugs are safe and which ones should be avoided. The involvement of the respiratory and swallowing muscles makes these patients very prone to the development of post-anesthetic apnea and increases the appearance of aspiration pneumonia, arrhythmias and heart failure, so longer-term post-anesthetic surveillance in spe- cialized units is recommended. Likewise, it is essential to maintain normothermia, normovolemia avoiding anemia, adequate treatment of pain and prevention of renal failure. There is little bibliography in this regard, so more publications are needed.


La dermatomiositis es una enfermedad rara con importantes implicaciones respecto al manejo anestésico del paciente. La posibilidad del desarrollo de crisis hiperpotasémicas, hipertermia maligna o crisis miotónicas nos obliga a conocer cuales son los fármacos seguros y cuáles debemos evitar. La afectación de los músculos respiratorios y deglutorios hace que estos pacientes sean muy propensos a desarrollo de apneas posanestésicas y aumenta la aparición de neumonías aspirativas, arritmias y fallos cardíacos, por lo que la vigilancia posanestésica de mayor duración en unidades especializadas es recomendable. Así mismo, es esencial el mantenimiento de la normotermia, la normovolemia evitando la anemización, el tratamiento adecuado del dolor y la prevención de la insuficiencia renal. Existe escasa bibliografía al respecto, por lo que son necesarias más publicaciones.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Malaria, a disease of public health concern is a known cause of kidney failure, and dependence on herbal medicines for its treatment is increasing due to the high cost of drugs. So this study is designed to evaluate the ameliorating effect of ethanol extract from Salacia nitida root bark on electrolyte and renal perturbations in Plasmodium berghei-infected mice. Thirty malariainfected mice divided into five groups of six mice each and another group of six uninfected mice were used for the study. 280, 430, and 580 mg/kg of extract were given to infected mice in groups B, C, and D, 4 mg/kg of artesunate given to group E mice, and 4 ml/kg of physiological saline given to group A and uninfected group F mice for five days. Serum Na+, K+, HCO3, Cl-, TB, urea, creatinine, BUN concentrations, and BUN/creatinine ratio were determined using standard methods. Results showed significant increases (p < 0.05) in Na+, K+, and HCO3 and decreases in Cl-, TB, urea, creatinine, BUN, and BUN/creatinine ratio in the infected treated mice in groups B - E. This study showed that ethanol extract of S. nitida root bark is efficient in the treatment of renal disorders and blood electrolyte perturbations

ABSTRACT

As restrições impostas pela pandemia de covid-19 levaram os serviços de saúde a reorganizarem seu funcionamento, ajustando-se à modalidade remota. A transição repentina e sem o devido preparo técnico impôs desafios adicionais para usuários e profissionais. Para aprimorar as estratégias assistenciais, torna-se imprescindível dar voz aos usuários dos serviços, para que narrem suas experiências e possam manifestar suas facilidades e dificuldades com essa passagem. Este estudo tem como objetivo investigar como os principais cuidadores familiares de pessoas com transtornos alimentares vivenciaram a transição do grupo de apoio para o formato remoto e identificar vantagens e desvantagens percebidas nesse modelo. Estudo clínico-qualitativo, exploratório, realizado em um serviço de atendimento especializado de um hospital terciário. O cenário investigado foi o grupo de apoio psicológico aberto a familiares que, desde o início da pandemia de covid-19, passou a ser oferecido na modalidade online. Participaram do estudo cinco mães e três pais presentes em 13 sessões grupais consecutivas. Entrevistas individuais foram aplicadas com a Técnica do Incidente Crítico logo após o término de cada encontro grupal, totalizando 26 entrevistas audiogravadas, transcritas e submetidas à análise temática. A transição para o online foi vivenciada pelos participantes como um recurso válido para permitir que o grupo funcionasse em tempos de grave crise sanitária. Como vantagens, foram mencionadas: a continuidade do cuidado, maior acessibilidade e facilidade em relação à logística da participação. Como limitações do formato online, foram destacadas: nem todos os familiares contam com conexão de internet de qualidade e possível dificuldade para manusear a tecnologia digital. Apesar dos desafios impostos pela súbita mudança para a modalidade online, na perspectiva dos usuários do serviço os esforços de adaptação foram bem-sucedidos, possibilitando a continuidade do cuidado à saúde mental.(AU)


The constraints imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic led health services to reorganize their operation, adjusting to the online modality. The sudden and unprepared technical transition has imposed additional challenges for both users and professionals. To improve care strategies, it is essential to give voice to services users, so that they can narrate their experiences and express their facilities and difficulties with this transition. This study aims to investigate how main family caregivers of people with eating disorders experienced the transition of the support group to the remote modality and to identify perceived advantages and disadvantages in this model. This is a clinical-qualitative, exploratory study carried out in a specialized care service of a tertiary hospital. The investigated setting was the psychological support group open to family members, which since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic has been offered online. Five mothers and three fathers who attended 13 consecutive group sessions participated in the study. Individual interviews were carried out with the Critical Incident Technique shortly after the end of each group meeting with all members, totaling 26 audio-recorded interviews. Data were subjected to thematic analysis. Transition was experienced as a valid resource to maintain the group active in times of a severe health crisis. As advantages of the remote modality were mentioned: continuity of care, greater accessibility, and ease in relation to the logistics of participation. As limitations of the online format were highlighted: not everyone has a good-quality connection to the internet, and difficulty in handling the digital technology. Despite the challenges imposed by the sudden shift to the online modality, from the service users' perspective the adaptation efforts were successful, enabling continuity of mental health care.(AU)


Las limitaciones que impuso la pandemia de la COVID-19 llevaron a los servicios sanitarios a reorganizar su funcionamiento adaptándose a la modalidad remota. El súbito cambio y sin la preparación técnica adecuada implicó retos adicionales a los usuarios y profesionales. Para mejorar las estrategias de atención es fundamental dar voz a los usuarios de los servicios, para que puedan narrar sus experiencias y expresar sus facilidades y dificultades con esta transición. Este estudio pretende investigar cómo han vivido los cuidadores de personas con trastornos alimentarios la transición del grupo de apoyo presencial al formato remoto e identificar las ventajas y desventajas percibidas en este modelo. Se trata de un estudio clínicocualitativo, exploratorio. El escenario investigado fue el grupo de apoyo psicológico abierto a los familiares en la modalidad en línea. Cinco madres y tres padres participaron en 13 sesiones de grupo consecutivas. Se realizaron entrevistas individuales con la técnica de incidentes críticos inmediatamente después de cada reunión del grupo, con un total de 26 entrevistas grabadas en audio, transcritas y sometidas a análisis temático. La transición a la red fue experimentada como un recurso válido para permitir que el grupo funcione en tiempos de crisis sanitaria grave. Las ventajas de la modalidad remota fueron conexión segura en tiempos de confinamiento físico, continuidad, mayor accesibilidad y facilidad en relación con la logística de la participación. Las limitaciones del formato en línea fueron la falta de una conexión de calidad a Internet y la posible dificultad de manejo de la tecnología digital. A pesar de las dificultades impuestas por el cambio repentino a la modalidad en línea, desde la perspectiva de los usuarios del servicio los esfuerzos de adaptación fueron un éxito, lo que permitió seguir con la atención de salud mental.(AU)

ABSTRACT

Objective: This study aimed to compare the occurrence of acute kidney injury (AKI) in pediatric patients who used vancomycin (VAN) or linezolid (LNZ) to treat Gram-positive coccus (GPC) infections and to assess which treatment (VAN or LNZ) is the most cost-effective considering a pediatric hospital perspective. Methods: A retrospective cohort was performed to evaluate the occurrence of nephrotoxicity in pediatric patients without previous AKI, with GPC infections that used LNZ, or VAN monitored by serum VAN levels. Initially, descriptive analysis and Fisher and chisquare test were performed for this comparison. Then, a cost-effectiveness analysis was conducted through a decision tree model. The outcomes of interest were the rate of AKI related to the drug and the rate of admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) and cure. Results: In patients without previous acute kidney injury (AKI), 20% developed nephrotoxicity associated with VAN versus 9.6% in the LNZ group (p = 0.241). As there was no difference in nephrotoxicity between VAN andlinezolid (LNZ), vancomycin (VAN) monitored by serum VAN levels can optimize and rationalize the treatment. The nephrotoxicity risk criterion should not guide the prescription for LNZ. Furthermore, the average global cost of treatment with VAN was approximately R$ 43,000, while for LNZ, it was R$ 71,000. Conclusion: VAN was considered dominant (lower cost and greater effectiveness) over LNZ for treating patients with GPC infection.


Objetivo: Este estudo objetivou comparar a ocorrência de lesão renal aguda (LRA) em pacientes pediátricos que usaram vancomicina (VAN) ou linezolida (LNZ) para tratar infecções por cocos Gram-positivos (CGP) e avaliar qual tratamento (VAN ou LNZ) é o mais custo-efetivo considerando a perspectiva de um hospital pediátrico. Métodos: Foi realizada uma coorte retrospectiva para avaliar a ocorrência de nefrotoxicidade em pacientes pediátricos sem LRA prévia, com infecções por CGP que utilizaram LNZ ou VAN, combinada com vancocinemia. Para essa comparação, inicialmente foram realizados análise descritiva e testes de Fisher e qui-quadrado. Em seguida, foi realizada uma análise de custo-efetividade por meio de um modelo de árvore de decisão. Os desfechos de interesse foram a taxa de LRA relacionada ao medicamento e a taxa de internação em unidade de terapia intensiva e cura. Resultados: Nos pacientes sem LRA prévia, 20% deles desenvolveram nefrotoxicidade associada à VAN versus 9,6% no grupo LNZ (p = 0,241). Como não houve diferença na nefrotoxicidade entre VAN e LNZ, a VAN combinada com a vancocinemia pode otimizar e racionalizar o tratamento, e a prescrição de LNZ não deve ser guiada pelo critério de risco de nefrotoxicidade. Além disso, o custo médio global do tratamento com VAN foi de aproximadamente R$ 43.000, enquanto para LNZ foi de R$ 71.000. Conclusão: Assim, a VAN foi considerada dominante (menor custo e maior eficácia) sobre a LNZ para o tratamento de pacientes com infecção por CGP.

ABSTRACT

ntrodution: The immunosuppressive state of patients with CKD increases their risk of developing poor clinical outcomes if they acquire COVID-19 infection. Objetive: To identify the scientific evidence about the repercussions of COVID-19 in hemodialysis patients. Materials and méthods: A systematic review was conducted in this study. The databases Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Science Direct, PubMed, and Virtual Health Library were searched to identify relevant studies. The methodological quality of the studies was assessed using the adapted Downs and Black checklist. The review adhered to the PRISMA guidelines. Results:A total of 16 articles were included after the screening process. All articles had a methodological quality higher than 66.8%. The most common repercussions of COVID-19 in hemodialysis patients were the increased mortality rate (75%), development of typical signs and symptoms of the disease such as fever, cough, dyspnea, and fatigue (68.75%), lymphopenia (68.75%), progression to severe acute respiratory syndrome (56.25%), need for mechanical ventilation (50%), and admission to intensive (50%). Conclusión: The hemodialysis patients are more susceptible to COVID-19 infection and, when infected by SARS-CoV-2, these patients have more adverse clinical outcomes, more serious diseases, higher mortality, and worse prognosis than the general population. The repercussions of COVID-19 in hemodialysis patients reveal a need for preventive nursing care in hemodialysis clinics.


Introducción: El estado de inmunosupresión de los pacientes con enfermedad renal crónica (ERC) aumenta su riesgo de obtener resultados clínicos desfavorables si llegaran a contraer COVID-19. Objetivo: Identificar la evidencia científica acerca de las repercusiones que tiene el COVID-19 en los pacientes en hemodiálisis. Materiales y Métodos: Se realizó una revisión sistemática en este estudio. Se hizo una búsqueda en las bases de datos Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Science Direct, PubMed y Virtual Health Library para identificar estudios relevantes. La calidad metodológica de los estudios se evaluó mediante la lista de chequeo adaptada por Downs y Black. La revisión siguió los lineamientos de la declaración PRISMA. Resultados:Tras el proceso de selección se incluyeron un total de 16 artículos en la revisión. Todos los artículos obtuvieron una calidad metodológica superior a 66,8%. Las repercusiones más comunes del COVID-19 en los pacientes en hemodiálisis fueron el aumento de la tasa de mortalidad (75%), el desarrollo de signos y síntomas típicos de la enfermedad como fiebre, tos, disnea y fatiga (68,75%), linfopenia (68,75%), progresión a un síndrome respiratorio agudo grave (56,25%), necesidad de ventilación mecánica (50%) e ingreso a cuidados intensivos (50%). Conclusiones: Los pacientes en hemodiálisis son más susceptibles a contraer COVID-19 y, cuando contraen el SARS-CoV-2, tienen resultados clínicos más adversos, enfermedades más graves, mayor mortalidad y peor pronóstico que la población general.

ABSTRACT

La Insuficiencia Renal Aguda (IRA), es sin dudas una de las complicaciones más frecuentes que puede presentar el paciente crítico; la cual se define como la disminución en la capacidad que tienen los riñones para eliminar productos nitrogenados de desechos. En las unidades de cuidados críticos la causa de las mismas puede ser multifactorial y se relaciona con el fallo multiorgánico. El presente trabajo es un relato de experiencia, un trabajo descriptivo de experiencias de la terapia en reemplazo renal continuo, acompañado además de recolección bibliográfica, cuyo objetivo principal es la capacitación en el tratamiento de las insuficiencias renales en los pacientes críticos con la terapia de reemplazo renal continuo. Para abordar esta temática, se conformó un equipo multidisciplinario en el mes de Abril del año 2021, entre los servicios de Unidad de Cuidados Crítico y el Servicio de Nefrología, en donde se desarrolló un plan de capacitación de manera virtual para abordar el tratamiento a los pacientes con fallo renal, el cual contó además con la disertación y capacitación de personal altamente calificados en el tema, para posteriormente realizar un entrenamiento teórico-práctico en el servicio de Hemodiálisis del Sanatorio Allende de Nueva Córdoba, en la técnica de conexión y desconexión de catéteres de hemodiálisis, en el cual asistieron un total de 26 enfermeros del área de Terapia Intensiva de ambas sedes con el fin de aprender la técnica específica que se aplicará en los pacientes que serán sometidos a hemofiltración venovenosa continua[AU]


Acute Renal Insufficiency (AKI) is undoubtedly one of the most frequent complications that critical patients may present; which is defined as the decrease in the ability of the kidneys to eliminate nitrogenous waste products. In critical care units, their cause can be multifactorial and is related to multiorgan failure.The present work is a report of experiences, a descriptive work of experiences of continuous renal replacement therapy, accompanied by a bibliographic collection, whose main objective is training in the treatment of renal insufficiency in critical patients with replacement therapy. continuous kidney. To address this issue, a multidisciplinary team was formed in April 2021, between the services of the Critical Care Unit and the Nephrology Service, where a training plan was developed virtually to address the treatment of patients. patients with kidney failure, which also included the dissertation and training of highly qualified personnel on the subject, to subsequently carry out theoretical-practical training in the Hemodialysis service of the Allende Sanatorium in Nueva Córdoba, in the connection and disconnection technique of hemodialysis catheters, which was attended by a total of 26 nurses from the Intensive Care area of both sites in order to learn the specific technique that will be applied to patients who will undergo continuous venovenous hemofiltration[AU]
