RESUMO

Introducción: La enfermedad renal crónica es un problema de salud a nivel mundial, su manifestación más grave, la insuficiencia renal crónica, incide en el contexto cubano y determina el crecimiento de pacientes en hemodiálisis. El objetivo del texto es valorar los principales resultados del diagnóstico y caracterización de la situación problémica en un estudio de carácter psicosocial con pacientes con Insuficiencia Renal Crónica en la sala de Hemodiálisis del municipio Florida, de la provincia de Camagüey. Método: Es una investigación-acción participativa de corte experimental, que se desarrolla entre enero 2023 y diciembre del 2024 la cual constituye salida del proyecto de investigación Sistema de acciones psicosociales para el perfeccionamiento de la atención integral a los pacientes con enfermedades no transmisibles. El universo está constituido por 56 pacientes y la muestra por 22, que reciben tratamiento depurador y conservador, 22 familiares y 12 profesionales del servicio. El instrumento de investigación por excelencia fue la encuesta a participantes. Resultados: La edad de los pacientes no es definitiva de un grupo etario; predominan los hombres; se constata un elevado por ciento de pacientes con poca tolerancia a la adherencia al tratamiento e insuficiente desarrollo de las habilidades psicosociales y declaran la necesidad de poseer conocimientos para lograr estados de salud que conlleven a la sobrevida. Discusión: No existe coincidencia con lo constatado en la determinación de los grupos etarios de prevalencia para la enfermedad, pero los especialistas insisten en que la enfermedad no es privativa de un período de vida específico; reconocen la importancia del conocimiento de los factores de riesgo por el paciente para la prevención, promoción y educación en salud y resaltan la necesidad de la comunicación y la empatía entre el personal de salud y el paciente, para lograr resultados y estados emocionales favorables ante la enfermedad y el tratamiento.


Introduction: Chronic kidney disease is a global health problem. Its most serious manifestation, chronic kidney failure, affects the Cuban context and determines the growth of patients on hemodialysis. The objective of the text is to evaluate the main results of the diagnosis and characterization of the problematic situation in a psychosocial study with patients with Chronic Renal Failure in the Hemodialysis room of the Florida municipality, of the county of Camagüey. Method: It is an experimental participatory action research, which takes place between January 2023 and December 2024, which constitutes the output of the research project System of psychosocial actions for the improvement of comprehensive care for patients with non-communicable diseases. The universe is made up of 56 patients and the sample is made up of 22, who receive purifying and conservative treatment, 22 family members and 12 service professionals. The research instrument par excellence was the participant survey. Results: The age of the patients is not definitive of an age group; men predominate; A high percentage of patients are found to have low tolerance for adherence to treatment and insufficient development of psychosocial skills and declare the need to possess knowledge to achieve health states that lead to survival. Discussion: There is no coincidence with what was found in the determination of the prevalence age groups for the disease, but specialists insist that the disease is not exclusive to a specific period of life; recognize the importance of the patient's knowledge of risk factors for prevention, promotion and health education and highlight the need for communication and empathy between health personnel and the patient, to achieve favorable results and emotional states in the face of the disease and treatment.

RESUMO

Chronic Kidney Disease is a serious public health problem and in clear relation to Climate Change and ecosystem maintenance. Renal health is particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, and dialysis therapy (hemodialysis and PD) has a significant environmental footprint, conditioned by energy consumption and greenhouse gas production. In the last 50 years, people have changed ecosystems faster and more extensively than in any other period in human history. It is a consequence of ever-increasing demand for food, fresh water, fuel, industry, etc. and the result has been a substantial and largely irreversible loss of the diversity of life on Earth. Since 1979, human activities have caused the extinction of 60% of mammals, birds, fish and reptiles. There is an urgent need to adopt "Green Nephrology" measures by developing sustainable environmental solutions for the prevention and treatment of kidney diseases.

RESUMO

Introduction: Evidence about nefroprotective effect with RAAS blockers in elderly patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) without proteinuria is lacking. The primary outcome of our study is to evaluate the impact of RAAS blockers in CKD progression in elderly patients without proteinuria. Materials and methods: Multicenter open-label, randomized controlled clinical trial including patients over 65 year-old with hypertension and CKD stages 3–4 without proteinuria. Patients were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to either receive RAAS blockers or other antihypertensive drugs and were followed up for three years. Primary outcome is estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) decline at 3 years. Secondary outcome measures include BP control, renal and cardiovascular events and mortality. Results: 88 patients were included with a mean age of 77.9±6.1 years and a follow up period of 3 years: 40 were randomized to RAAS group and 48 to standard treatment. Ethiology of CKD was: 53 vascular, 16 interstitial and 19 of unknown ethiology. In the RAAS group eGFR slope during follow up was −4.3±1.1ml/min, whereas in the standard treatment group an increase on eGFR was observed after 3 years (+4.6±0.4ml/min), p=0.024. We found no differences in blood pressure control, number of antihypertensive drugs, albuminuria, potassium serum levels, incidence of cardiovascular events nor mortality during the follow up period. Conclusions: In elderly patients without diabetes nor cardiopathy and with non proteinuric CKD the use of RAAS blockers does not show a reduction in CKD progression.

Introducción: Actualmente no existe suficiente evidencia sobre el efecto nefroprotector de los bloqueantes del sistema renina-angiotensina-aldosterona (BSRAA) en pacientes añosos con enfermedad renal crónica (ERC) sin proteinuria y sin cardiopatía. El objetivo es evaluar el efecto de los BSRAA en la progresión de la ERC en este grupo poblacional. Métodos: Se trata de un estudio prospectivo, aleatorizado, que compara la eficacia de los BSRAA vs. otros tratamientos antihipertensivos en la progresión renal en personas mayores de 65 años con ERC estadios 3 y 4 e índice albúmina/creatinina<30mg/g. Aleatorización 1:1 BSRAA o tratamiento antihipertensivo estándar. Se recogieron cifras tensionales y parámetros analíticos de un año previo a la aleatorización y durante el seguimiento. Resultados: Se incluyeron 88 pacientes seguidos durante tres años con edad media de 77,9±6,1 años. De estos, se aleatorizaron 40 al grupo BSRAA y 48 al estándar. La etiología de ERC fue: 53 vascular, 16 intersticial y 19 no filiada. En el primer grupo se observó una progresión de la ERC con una caída del filtrado glomerular estimado (FGe) de -4,3±1,1mL/min, mientras que en el grupo estándar un aumento del FGe durante el seguimiento de 4,6±0,4mL/min, p=0,024. No se apreciaron diferencias entre ambos en el control tensional, el número de antihipertensivos, la albuminuria, los niveles de potasio, la incidencia de eventos cardiovasculares ni la mortalidad durante el seguimiento. Conclusiones: En pacientes añosos no diabéticos con ERC no proteinúrica y sin cardiopatía el uso de BSRAA no añade beneficio en la progresión de la ERC.

RESUMO

Contrast-induced encephalopathy is a neurological complication related to contrast used in endovascular procedures or computed tomography (CT). The main risk factors are arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease (CKD), hyperosmolar contrasts, the amount of infused contrast and its direct infusion in the posterior cerebral territory, or pathologies with blood-brain barrier damage. Symptomatology is non-specific and may present as altered level of consciousness, neurological focality or seizures. Diagnosis is done by exclusion after ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke has been ruled out; CT or MRI are useful for differentiation. Generally, it appears shortly after exposure and the symptoms lasts 48-72h with complete recovery, although cases with persistence of symptoms or longer duration have been described. Treatment consists of monitoring, supportive measures and kidney replacement therapy (KRT) with hemodialysis (HD) in patients in chronic KRT program. It is important for the nephrologist to be aware of this entity given the susceptibility of the patient on HD as well as its potential therapeutic role in these patients.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Patient activation is a concept that refers to the willingness to manage one's health and medical care. To assess it, a patient activation measure (PAM) has been developed and validated. Several studies report low activation in patients with chronic diseases. However, information on activation in hemodialysis patients is scarce. The aim of the present study is to describe the activation level of patients on chronic treatment in an HD unit and its relationship with disease control parameters. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Cross-sectional observational study in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease on chronic HD treatment. Ninety-six patients were included. Activation was measured with the PAM-13 questionnaire. Its relationship with descriptive variables (age, sex, comorbidity, studies, habitat) and disease control variables (vascular access, blood flow, potassaemia, phosphataemia, interdialytic gain) was studied. For this purpose, Spearman's correlation test, multiple linear regression model and logistic model were used as statistical methods. RESULTS: The mean (SD) PAM-13 score was 63.19 (15.21). Activation was significantly associated with vascular access (P = 0.003), blood flow (P = 0.024), and interdialytic gain of patients (P = 0.008). CONCLUSIONS: Activation in patients on chronic hemodialysis treatment is low. Higher activation is related having an arteriovenous fistula, higher blood flow and lower interdialytic gain. Future studies are needed to confirm and apply our results.

RESUMO

Sarcopenia and dynapenia are two terms associated with ageing that respectively define the loss of muscle mass and strength. In 2018, the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP) introduced the EWGSOP2 diagnostic algorithm for sarcopenia, which integrates both concepts. It consists of 4 sequential steps: screening for sarcopenia, examination of muscle strength, assessment of muscle mass and physical performance; depending on these last 3 aspects sarcopenia is categorised as probable, confirmed, and severe respectively. In the absence of validation of the EWGSOP2 algorithm in various clinical contexts, its use in haemodialysis poses several limitations: (a) low sensitivity of the screening, (b) the techniques that assess muscle mass are not very accessible, reliable, or safe in routine clinical care, (c) the sequential use of the magnitudes that assess dynapenia and muscle mass do not seem to adequately reflect the muscular pathology of the elderly person on dialysis. We reflect on the definition of sarcopenia and the use of more precise terms such as "myopenia" (replacing the classic concept of sarcopenia to designate loss of muscle mass), dynapenia and kratopenia. Prospective evaluation of EWGSOP2 and its comparison with alternatives (i.e. assessment of kratopenia and dynapenia only; steps 2 and 4) is proposed in terms of its applicability in clinical routine, resource consumption, identification of at-risk individuals and impact on events.

RESUMO

Resumen Objetivo: El objetivo de este estudio fue estimar si el uso de anticoagulantes se asociaba con una diferencia en la frecuencia de trombosis de cualquier sitio, hemorragia mayor y mortalidad en adultos con coexistencia de ambas patologías. Método: Se realizó un estudio de cohorte retrospectivo en cuatro centros de alta complejidad. Se incluyeron mayores de 18 años con ERC en hemodiálisis y FA no valvular, con indicación de anticoagulación (CHA2DS2VASc ≥ 2). El desenlace primario fue la ocurrencia de sangrado mayor, evento trombótico (accidente vascular cerebral, infarto agudo al miocardio o enfermedad tromboembólica venosa) o muerte. Se realizó ajuste por variables de confusión por regresión logística. Resultados: De los 158 pacientes incluidos, el 61% (n = 97) recibieron anticoagulante. El desenlace principal se encontró en el 84% de quienes recibieron anticoagulación y en el 70% de quienes no la recibieron (OR: 2.12, IC95%: 0.98-4.57; luego del ajuste OR: 2.13, IC95%: 1.04-4.36). De los desenlaces mayores se presentaron sangrado en el 52% vs. el 34% (OR: 2.03; IC95%: 1.05-3.93), trombosis en el 35% vs. el 34% (OR: 1.03; IC95%: 0.52-2.01) y muerte en el 46% vs. el 41% (OR: 1.25; IC95%: 0.65-2.38). Conclusiones: Los resultados de este estudio sugieren un incremento en el riesgo de sangrado en los pacientes con FA y ERC en hemodiálisis que reciben anticoagulación, sin disminución del riesgo de eventos trombóticos ni de muerte.


Abstract Objective: The aim of this study was to estimate whether the consumption of anticoagulants was associated with a difference in the frequency of thrombosis of any site, major bleeding and mortality, in adults with both diseases. Method: A retrospective cohort study was carried out in four high complexity centers. Patients older than 18 years with CKD on hemodialysis and non-valvular AF, with an indication for anticoagulation (CHA2DS2VASc ≥ 2), were included. The primary outcome was the occurrence of: major bleeding, thrombotic event (cerebrovascular accident, acute myocardial infarction or venous thromboembolic disease) or death. Adjustment for confounding variables was performed using logistic regression. Results: From 158 patients included, 61% (n = 97) received an anticoagulant. The main outcome was found in 84% of those who received anticoagulation and 70% of those who did not (OR: 2.12, 95%CI: 0.98-4.57; after the adjusted analysis OR: 2.13, 95%CI: 1.04-4.36). Separate outcomes were bleeding in 52% vs. 34% (OR: 2.03; 95%CI: 1.05-3.93), thrombosis in 35% vs. 34% (OR: 1.03; 95%CI: 0.52-2-01) and death in 46% vs. 41% (OR: 1.25; 95%CI: 0.65-2.38). Conclusions: The results of this study suggest an increased risk of bleeding in patients with AF and CKD on hemodialysis receiving anticoagulation, without a decrease in the risk of thrombotic events or all-cause mortality.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: Diabetes, dyslipidemia, older age, gender, urinary tract infections, and recent antibiotic intake have been associated with a decrease in the urobiome richness and other fluctuations in this microbiome. Gut and blood microbiome have been reported to be altered in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), and specifically in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. Still, there are currently no studies describing the urogenital microbiome in CKD-PD patients. In this study we characterized the urobiome profile in 46 PD patients and analyzed its clinical and inflammatory parameters. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Mid-stream urine, fecal and blood samples were collected from 46 patients undergoing PD at Centro Hospitalar Universitário de São João (CHUSJ) in Porto, Portugal. Exclusion criteria were age under 18 years old, inability to give informed consent, history of infection in the last three months, and antibiotic intake in the last three months. The microbiome communities were analyzed by amplification and sequencing of the V3-V4 region of the bacterial 16S rRNA gene. Correlations with the patients' clinical data and inflammatory profile were performed. RESULTS: CKD-PD patients presented a unique urobiome profile dominated by Bacillota, Actinomycetota and Pseudomonadota and characterized by a lower Shannon diversity than fecal and blood microbiome. The taxonomic profiles of urogenital samples were organized in multiple subtypes dominated by populations of Lactobacillus, Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Gardnerella, Prevotella, Escherichia-Shigella, being similar to other non-PD-CKD patients. Gender, sCD14, residual diuresis and history of peritonitis were significantly associated to variations in the urobiome. Although not reaching statistical significance, diabetes and the time on PD also showed association with particular taxonomic groups. Depletion of Gardnerella, Staphylococcus, Corynebacterium, Lactobacillus or Dermabacter populations correlated with CKD-PD patients with history of diabetes, history of peritonitis and altered levels of sCD14. CONCLUSIONS: Our results highlight urogenital microbiome as a potential partner and/or marker in the overall health state of CKD-PD patients.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: On December 31, 2019, one of the most serious pandemics in recent times made its appearance. Certain health conditions, such as obesity and diabetes mellitus, have been described to be related to COVID-19 unfavorable outcomes. OBJECTIVE: To identify factors associated with mortality in patients with COVID-19. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Retrospective cohort of 998,639 patients. Patient sociodemographic and clinical characteristics were analyzed, with survivors being compared with the deceased individuals. Cox proportional hazards model was used to identify variables predictive of COVID-19-associated mortality. RESULTS: Among the deceased patients, men accounted for 64.3%, and women, for 35.7%, with the difference being statistically significant. Subjects older than 80 years had a 13-fold higher risk of dying from COVID-19 (95% CI = 12,469, 13,586), while chronic kidney disease entailed a risk 1.5 times higher (95% CI = 1,341, 1,798), and diabetes mellitus involved a risk 1.25 times higher (95% CI = 1.238,1.276). CONCLUSIONS: Age, sex, diabetes mellitus and obesity were found to be predictors of COVID-19 mortality. Further research related to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cardiovascular diseases, smoking and pregnancy is suggested.


ANTECEDENTES: El 31 de diciembre de 2019, se inició una de las pandemias más graves de los últimos tiempos. Se ha descrito que ciertas condiciones de salud, como la obesidad y la diabetes mellitus, están relacionadas con desenlaces desfavorables por COVID-19. OBJETIVO: Identificar factores asociados a mortalidad en pacientes con COVID-19. MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS: Cohorte retrospectiva de 998 639 pacientes. Se analizaron las características sociodemográficas y clínicas de los pacientes, y se compararon supervivientes con fallecidos. Se utilizó el modelo de riesgos proporcionales de Cox para la identificación de variables predictivas de defunción por COVID-19. RESULTADOS: Entre los fallecidos, los hombres representaron 64.3 % y las mujeres 35.7 %, diferencia que resultó estadísticamente significativa. Las personas con más de 80 años presentaron un riesgo 13 veces mayor de morir por COVID-19 (IC 95 % = 12.469,13.586) y la enfermedad renal crónica, un riesgo de 1.5 (IC 95 % = 1.341, 1.798); la diabetes mellitus tuvo un riesgo de 1.25 (IC 95 % = 1.238,1.276). CONCLUSIONES: La edad, el sexo, la diabetes mellitus y la obesidad resultaron ser entidades predictivas de muerte por COVID-19. Se sugiere más investigación relacionada con enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica, enfermedades cardiovasculares, tabaquismo y embarazo.

RESUMO

Introducción: los niños y adolescentes con enfermedad renal crónica suelen enfrentar desafíos únicos que afectan significativamente su bienestar mental. Objetivo: este estudio tuvo como objetivo evaluar el estado de salud mental de niños y adolescentes con enfermedad renal crónica que reciben atención en el Departamento de Nefrología Pediátrica de la Facultad de Ciencias Médicas de la Universidad Nacional de Asunción. Metodología: este fue un estudio observacional descriptivo, prospectivo y transversal. Clasificamos a los participantes según factores sociodemográficos (edad, sexo, lugar de residencia, estado civil y educación de los padres, y ocupación parental) y variables clínicas (edad al diagnóstico de enfermedad renal crónica, patología subyacente, tipo de tratamiento). Las evaluaciones de salud mental utilizaron el Cuestionario Breve para el Cribado y Diagnóstico, adaptado de la Escala Infantil de Rutter. Los diagnósticos se clasificaron como no casos, casos probables sin complicaciones o casos definitivos complicados según la severidad de los síntomas. Resultados: nuestro estudio analizó a 28 jóvenes, predominantemente masculinos (57.1 %), con edades entre 2 y 17 años y una edad media de 12.3 años. Aproximadamente el 42.9 % provenía del campo, y la mitad tenía padres divorciados o separados. Clínicamente, el 42.9 % tenía enfermedad renal crónica en etapas I a III, el 17.9 % estaba en etapa IV, y el 39.3 % había recibido trasplantes de riñón. Las evaluaciones de salud mental mediante Cuestionario Breve para el Cribado y Diagnóstico revelaron que el 39.3 % no mostraba trastornos mentales probables, el 32.1 % eran casos probables sin complicaciones y el 28.6 % eran casos probables con complicaciones. La ansiedad con inhibición y los trastornos de conducta fueron los trastornos predominantes, afectando cada uno al 39.3% de los participantes. Conclusión: nuestra investigación subraya la significativa carga de trastornos de salud mental en un grupo de niños y adolescentes paraguayos con enfermedad renal crónica y la urgente necesidad de servicios de salud mental completos e integrados que estén específicamente diseñados para satisfacer las necesidades de esta población vulnerable.


Introduction: children and adolescents with chronic kidney disease often face unique challenges that significantly affect their mental well-being. Objective: this study aimed to assess the mental health status of children and adolescents with chronic kidney disease receiving care at the Departamento de Nefrología Pediátrica of the Facultad de Ciencias Médicas of the Universidad Nacional de Asunción. Methodology: this was a descriptive, prospective, cross-sectional observational study. We categorized participants based on sociodemographic factors (age, sex, residence, parents' marital status and education, and parental occupation) and clinical variables (age at chronic kidney disease diagnosis, underlying pathology, treatment type). Mental health assessments utilized the Brief Questionnaire for Screening and Diagnosis, adapted from Rutter's Child Scale. Diagnoses were classified as non-cases, probable uncomplicated cases, or definite complicated cases based on symptom severity. Results: our study analyzed 28 young individuals, predominantly male (57.1 %), aged between 2 and 17 years with a mean age of 12.3 years. Approximately 42.9 % hailed from the countryside, and half had parents who were divorced or separated. Clinically, 42.9 % had chronic kidney disease stages I to III, 17.9 % were at stage IV, and 39.3 % had received kidney transplants. Mental health assessments via Brief Questionnaire for Screening and Diagnosis revealed that 39.3 % did not show probable mental disorders, 32.1 % were probable cases without complications, and 28.6 % were probable cases with complications. Anxiety with inhibition and conduct disorders were the predominant disorders, each impacting 39.3 % of participants. Conclusion: our research underlines the significant burden of mental health disorders in a group of Paraguayan children and adolescents with chronic kidney disease and the pressing need for comprehensive, integrated mental health services that are specifically designed to meet the requirements of this vulnerable population.

RESUMO

La incidencia y la prevalencia de hígado graso no alcohólico o enfermedad hepática metabólica (EHmet) está en aumento y es mayor en pacientes con diabetes mellitus tipo 2 (DM2). El riesgo cardiovascular y renal está claramente incrementado en estos pacientes, especialmente cuando se desarrolla nefropatía diabética. El eje cardio-reno-hepato-metabólico, conformado por la enfermedad cardiovascular (ECV), la enfermedad renal crónica (ERC), la EHmet y la DM2, tiene una base fisiopatogénica común. La relación clínica entre todos los componentes es inevitable y multidireccional, pudiendo la EHmet preceder al desarrollo de complicaciones cardiovasculares y renales, y también empeorar el pronóstico de las mismas una vez desarrolladas. En esta revisión enfatizamos la importancia de buscar y tratar la EHmet en pacientes con ERC y DM2 con el objetivo de identificar pacientes de mayor riesgo y de mejorar su pronóstico.(AU)


Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease or metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is a common condition with increasing prevalence and incidence, specially in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2). Both cardiovascular and renal disease are clearly increased in these patients, particularly in those with diabetic nephropathy. In the liver–heart–kidney–metabolic axis, the common pathophysiological basis of MAFLD, cardiovascular disease (CVD), chronic kidney disease (CKD), and DM2 is the same. The clinical relationship between all of them is clear and is multidirectional: MAFLD may precede the development of cardiovascular and renal disease, and may also worsen the prognosis of these complications once developed. In this review we emphasize the importance of targeting MAFLD in diabetic kidney disease, with the goal of detecting high-risk patients in order to improve their prognosis.(AU)

RESUMO

La COVID-19 ha demostrado ser especialmente agresiva con los pacientes con enfermedad renal crónica (ERC). La menor tasa de respuesta inmunológica y la mayor facilidad para la progresión a formas graves de enfermedad ha propiciado este hecho, que se ha mantenido en la era posvacunal de la pandemia. Paradójicamente, la ERC ha sido excluida de la mayoría de los ensayos clínicos de las principales herramientas terapéuticas desarrolladas frente a SARS-CoV-2. Sin embargo, se ha ido reuniendo experiencia de uso de estos fármacos en distintos estadios de la ERC que avala su uso con garantías de eficacia y seguridad. El objetivo de esta revisión es reunir todas las indicaciones de tratamiento frente a la COVID-19 en los distintos estadios de la enfermedad adaptadas a la ERC en sus distintas fases, incluyendo el tratamiento sustitutivo renal.(AU)


COVID-19 has proven to be particularly aggressive in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The lower immune response rate and the greater susceptibility to progress to severe forms of the disease have contributed to this phenomenon, which has persisted in the post-vaccination era of the pandemic. Paradoxically, CKD has been excluded from most clinical trials of the main therapeutic tools developed against SARS-CoV-2. However, experience in the use of these drugs has been accumulating in different stages of CKD, supporting their use with guarantees of efficacy and safety. The objective of this review is to gather all treatment indications for COVID-19 in the different phases of the disease, tailored to CKD in its various stages, including renal replacement therapy.(AU)

RESUMO

Los inhibidores del cotransportador sodio-glucosa tipo 2 (iSGLT2) han demostrado su beneficio cardiovascular y renal en pacientes con diabetes mellitus tipo 2, insuficiencia cardiaca (IC) o enfermedad renal crónica (ERC). Desde los primeros estudios, con estos fármacos se objetivó un incremento inicial de los niveles de hemoglobina/hematocrito que se atribuyó a un aumento de la hemoconcentración asociados a su efecto diurético, aunque pronto se constató que aumentaban los niveles de eritropoyetina (EPO) y eritropoyesis, mejorando el metabolismo férrico. Los estudios de mediación objetivaron que el incremento de hemoglobina se asociaba estrechamente con los beneficios cardiorrenales de estas sustancias. En la presente revisión se discuten los mecanismos de mejora de la eritropoyesis y la implicación del aumento de hemoglobina sobre el beneficio pronóstico cardiorrenal de estos medicamentos.(AU)


Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) have demonstrated cardiovascular and renal benefits in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, heart failure, or chronic kidney disease. Since the first studies with these drugs, an initial increase in hemoglobin/hematocrit levels was observed, which was attributed to an increase in hemoconcentration associated with its diuretic effect, although it was soon seen that these drugs increased erythropoietin levels and erythropoiesis, and improved iron metabolism. Mediation studies found that the increase in hemoglobin was strongly associated with the cardiorenal benefits of these drugs. In this review, we discuss the mechanisms for improving erythropoiesis and the implication of the increase in hemoglobin on the cardiorenal prognostic benefit of these drugs.(AU)

RESUMO

Introduction and objectives: Diabetes, dyslipidemia, older age, gender, urinary tract infections, and recent antibiotic intake have been associated with a decrease in the urobiome richness and other fluctuations in this microbiome. Gut and blood microbiome have been reported to be altered in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), and specifically in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. Still, there are currently no studies describing the urogenital microbiome in CKD-PD patients. In this study we characterized the urobiome profile in 46 PD patients and analyzed its clinical and inflammatory parameters. Materials and methods: Mid-stream urine, fecal and blood samples were collected from 46 patients undergoing PD at Centro Hospitalar Universitário de São João (CHUSJ) in Porto, Portugal. Exclusion criteria were age under 18 years old, inability to give informed consent, history of infection in the last three months, and antibiotic intake in the last three months. The microbiome communities were analyzed by amplification and sequencing of the V3–V4 region of the bacterial 16S rRNA gene. Correlations with the patients’ clinical data and inflammatory profile were performed. Results: CKD-PD patients presented a unique urobiome profile dominated by Bacillota, Actinomycetota and Pseudomonadota and characterized by a lower Shannon diversity than fecal and blood microbiome. The taxonomic profiles of urogenital samples were organized in multiple subtypes dominated by populations of Lactobacillus, Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Gardnerella, Prevotella, Escherichia-Shigella, being similar to other non-PD-CKD patients. Gender, sCD14, residual diuresis and history of peritonitis were significantly associated to variations in the urobiome. Although not reaching statistical significance, diabetes and the time on PD also showed association with particular taxonomic groups... (AU)


Introducción y objetivos: Diabetes, dislipemia, edad avanzada, género, infecciones del tracto urinario y toma reciente de antibióticos, entre otras, se han asociado a una disminución en la riqueza del urobioma y a otras fluctuaciones de dicho microbioma.Recientemente, se han descrito alteraciones en losmicrobiomas intestinal y en sangreen pacientes con enfermedad renal crónica (ERC) y, específicamente, en pacientes en diálisis peritoneal (DP).A pesar de ello, aún no existen estudios que describan el microbioma urogenital en pacientes en DP. En el presente trabajo, caracterizamos el urobioma en 46 pacientes en DP. Pacientes y métodos: Se recogieron muestras de orina (micción espontánea), heces y sangre de 46 pacientes en DP del Centro HospitalarUniversitário de São João en Oporto, Portugal. Los criterios de exclusión fueron edad menor a 18 años, incapacidad para entenderel consentimiento informado, e historia de infección y toma de antibióticos en los últimos 3 meses. Las comunidades microbiológicas fueron analizadas por amplificación y secuenciación de las regiones V3-V4 del 16S rRNA bacteriano. Se realizaron correlaciones con los datos clínicos y el perfil inflamatorio de los pacientes. Resultados: Los pacientes en DP presentaron un urobioma único dominado por Bacillota, Actinomycetota yPseudomonadota, y caracterizado por una menor diversidad de Shannon que los microbiomas en sangre e intestinal. Los perfiles taxonómicos de las muestras urogenitales se organizaron en múltiples subtipos dominados por poblaciones de Lactobacillus, Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Gardnerella, Prevotella, Escherichia-Shigella, siendo similar al descrito para otros pacientes con ERC no en DP.Género, factor sCD14, diuresis residual yantecedentes de peritonitis se asociaron de forma significativa a cambios en el urobioma...

RESUMO

Introduction: Data regarding vascular calcification (VC) in contemporary peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients is scarce. Bone–vascular axis has been demonstrated in hemodialysis (HD). However, studies showing the link between bone disease and VC in PD patients are lacking. The role of sclerostin, dickkopf-related protein 1 (DKK-1), receptor activator for nuclear factor kB ligand and osteoprotegerin (OPG) in VC in PD remains to clarify. Materials and methods: Bone biopsy was performed in 47 prevalent PD patients with histomorphometric analysis. Patients were submitted to pelvis and hands X-ray to evaluate VC using the Adragão score (AS). Relevant clinical and biochemical data was collected. Results: Thirteen patients (27.7%) had positive AS (AS≥1). Patients with VC were significantly older (58.9 vs. 50.4 years, p=0.011), had a lower dialysis dose (KT/V 2.0 vs. 2.4, p=0.025) and a higher glycosylated hemoglobin (7.2 vs. 5.4%, p=0.001). There was not any laboratorial parameter of mineral and bone disease used in clinical practice different between patients with or without VC. All diabetic patients had VC but only 8.1% of non-diabetic had VC (p<0.001). Patients with VC showed significantly higher erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) (91.1 vs. 60.0mm/h, p=0.001), sclerostin (2250.0 vs. 1745.8pg/mL, p=0.035), DKK-1 (1451.6 vs. 1042.9pg/mL, p=0.041) and OPG levels (2904.9 vs. 1518.2pg/mL, p=0.002). On multivariate analysis, only ESR remained statistically significant (OR 1.07; 95% CI 1.01–1.14; p=0.022). Bone histomorphometric findings were not different in patients with VC. There was no correlation between bone formation rate and AS (r=−0.039; p=0.796). Conclusion: The presence of VC was not associated with bone turnover and volume evaluated by bone histomorphometry. Inflammation and diabetes seem to play a more relevant role in VC in PD. (AU)


Introducción Los datos sobre calcificación vascular (CV) en pacientes contemporáneos en diálisis peritoneal (DP) son escasos. En pacientes en hemodiálisis, se ha demostrado la existencia de una conexión entre hueso y sistema vascular; sin embargo, faltan estudios que muestren el vínculo entre la enfermedad ósea y la CV en pacientes en DP. Si la esclerostina, la proteína relacionada con Dickkopf 1 (DKK-1), el ligando del receptor activador para el factor nuclear κB (RANKL) y la osteoprotegerina (OPG) tienen un papel en la CV en pacientes en DP aún no está claro. Materiales y métodos Se realizó biopsia ósea en 47 pacientes prevalentes en DP y se analizó mediante histomorfometría. También se tomaron radiografías de pelvis y manos a los pacientes para evaluar la CV mediante el Índice de Adragão (IA). Además, se analizaron datos clínicos y bioquímicos relevantes. Resultados: Trece pacientes (27,7%) tuvieron IA positivo (IA ≥ 1). Los pacientes con CV eran significativamente mayores (58,9 vs 50,4 años, p=0,011) tenían menor dosis de diálisis (KT/V 2,0 vs 2,4, p=0,025) y niveles más elevados de hemoglobina glicosilada (7,2 vs 5,4%, p=0,001). No hubo ningún parámetro de laboratorio de enfermedad mineral y ósea utilizado en la práctica clínica diferente entre pacientes con o sin CV. Todos los pacientes diabéticos mostraron CV, sin embargo, solo el 8,1% de los no diabéticos tenían CV (p <0,001). Además, los pacientes con CV mostraron una velocidad de sedimentación globular más elevada (VSG) (91,1 vs. 60,0mm/h, p=0,001) y mayores concentraciones séricas de esclerostina (2.250,0 vs. 1.745,8 pg/ml, p=0,035), DKK-1 (1451,6 vs 1042,9 pg/ml, p=0,041) y OPG (2.904,9 vs. 1.518,2 pg/ml, p=0,002). En el análisis multivariante, solo la VSG fue estadísticamente significativa (OR 1,07; IC del 95%: 1,01-1,14; p=0,022)... (AU)

RESUMO

La valoración del riesgo de fractura del paciente con enfermedad renal crónica (ERC) ha sido incluida en el complejo Chronic Kidney Disease-Mineral and Bone Disorders (CKD-MBD) en guías nefrológicas internacionales y nacionales, sugiriéndose por primera vez la evaluación de la densidad mineral ósea (DMO) si los resultados pueden condicionar la toma de decisiones terapéuticas. Sin embargo, existe muy poca información en práctica clínica real en esta población. El objetivo principal del estudio ERC-Osteoporosis (ERCOS) es describir el perfil de los pacientes con ERC G3-5D con osteoporosis (OP) y/o fracturas por fragilidad atendidos en consultas especializadas de nefrología, reumatología y medicina interna en España. Participaron 15 centros y se incluyeron 162 pacientes (siendo en su mayoría mujeres [71,2%] posmenopáusicas [98,3%]) con una mediana de edad de 77 años. La mediana del filtrado glomerular estimado (FGe) fue de 36ml/min/1,73m2 y el 38% de pacientes incluidos estaban en diálisis. Destacamos la elevada frecuencia de fracturas por fragilidad prevalentes ([37,7%), principalmente vertebrales [52,5%] y de cadera 24,6%]), el antecedente desproporcionado de pacientes con enfermedad glomerular en comparación con series puramente nefrológicas (corticoides) y el infratratamiento para la prevención de fracturas, fundamentalmente en consultas nefrológicas. Este estudio supone una inmediata llamada a la acción con la difusión de las nuevas guías clínicas, más proactivas, y subraya la necesidad de homogeneizar el enfoque asistencial/terapéutico multidisciplinar coordinado de estos pacientes de un modo eficiente para evitar las actuales discrepancias y el nihilismo terapéutico. (AU)


Fracture risk assessment in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) has been included in the Chronic Kidney Disease-Mineral and Bone Disorders (CKD-MBD) complex in international and national nephrology guidelines, suggesting for the first time the assessment of bone mineral density (BMD) if the results will impact treatment decisions. However, there is very little information on actual clinical practice in this population. The main objective of the ERC-Osteoporosis (ERCOS) study is to describe the profile of patients with CKD G3-5D with osteoporosis (OP) and/or fragility fractures treated in specialized nephrology, rheumatology and internal medicine clinics in Spain. Fifteen centers participated and 162 patients (mostly women [71.2%] postmenopausal [98.3%]) with a median age of 77 years were included. Mean estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was 36ml/min/1.73m2 and 38% of the included patients were on dialysis. We highlight the high frequency of prevalent fragility fractures ([37.7%], mainly vertebral [52.5%] and hip [24.6%]), the disproportionate history of patients with glomerular disease compared to purely nephrological series (corticosteroids) and undertreatment for fracture prevention, especially in nephrology consultations. This study is an immediate call to action with the dissemination of the new, more proactive, clinical guidelines, and underlines the need to standardize a coordinated and efficient multidisciplinary care/therapeutic approach to these patients to avoid current discrepancies and therapeutic nihilism.

RESUMO

Introducción: La dermatosis perforante adquirida (DPA) es un trastorno frecuente en pacientes en hemodiálisis, y el efecto en la calidad de vida está poco descrito. Investigamos la prevalencia de DPA en pacientes en hemodiálisis, medimos y comparamos la calidad de vida asociada a DPA. Métodos: Desarrollamos un estudio prospectivo, observacional y descriptivo. Invitamos a pacientes mayores de 18 años en hemodiálisis. Se obtuvieron datos de su expediente electrónico, y se realizó exploración dermatológica. Se aplicó el Índice de Calidad de Vida en Dermatología (DLQI). Se hizo un análisis descriptivo de las variables demográficas, de las características clínicas y de los hallazgos de dermatoscopia, así como la comparación de los puntajes del DLQI. Resultados: La muestra fue de 46 pacientes, con una prevalencia de DPA del 11%. Los pacientes con DPA eran más delgados y jóvenes en comparación con los pacientes sin DPA. El tiempo en hemodiálisis fue mayor en los pacientes con DPA en comparación a los pacientes sin DPA, con una mediana de 90 versus 32 meses (p=0,015). La afección en calidad de vida fue mayor en los pacientes con DPA en comparación a los pacientes sin DPA, con un algún efecto en todos los pacientes con DPA y un 33% en los pacientes sin DPA (p=0,001). Los pacientes con DPA tuvieron con más frecuencia prurito en comparación con los pacientes sin DPA (p=0,007). Conclusiones: La edad, el tiempo en hemodiálisis y el índice de masa corporal se asocian con la presencia de DPA. Los pacientes con DPA tuvieron una prevalencia más alta de prurito y mayor afección en la calidad de vida en dermatología en comparación con los pacientes sin DPA. (AU)


Introduction: Acquired perforating dermatosis (APD) is a frequent disorder in hemodialysis patients and the effect on the quality of life is poorly described. We investigated the prevalence of APD in hemodialysis patients, measured and compared APD-associated quality of life. Methods: We developed a prospective, observational, and descriptive study. We invited patients over the age of 18 in hemodialysis. Data was obtained from their electronic file and a dermatological examination was performed. The Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) was applied. Descriptive analysis of demographic variables, clinical features, and dermoscopy findings, as well as comparison of DLQI scores, was made. Results: The sample consisted of 46 patients, with a prevalence of APD of 11%. Patients with APD were leaner and younger compared to patients without APD. The time on hemodialysis was longer in patients with APD compared to those without APD, with a median of 90 versus 32 months (P=.015). The impact on quality of life was greater in patients with APD compared to those without APD, with some effect in all patients with APD and 33% in patients without APD (P=.001). Patients with APD had more frequent pruritus compared to those without APD (P=.007). Conclusions: Age, time on hemodialysis and BMI are associated with the presence of APD. Patients with APD had a higher prevalence of pruritus and a greater impact on quality of life in dermatology compared to patients without APD. (AU)

RESUMO

Fundamento y objetivos: El aumento de la rigidez arterial central (aórtica) tiene repercusiones hemodinámicas con efectos nocivos cardiovasculares y renales. En la enfermedad renal crónica (ERC) puede existir un aumento de la rigidez aórtica secundaria a múltiples alteraciones metabólicas, entre ellas la calcificación de la pared vascular (CV). El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar la asociación de la rigidez aórtica y de la hemodinámica central con la presencia de CV en dos territorios: aorta abdominal (CAA) y arterias coronarias (CC). Material y métodos: Se incluyeron 87 pacientes con ERC estadios 3 y 4. Usando tonometría de aplanamiento se estudiaron la hemodinámica central y la rigidez aórtica. Esta se determinó mediante la velocidad de pulso carótida-femoral (Vpc-f). A partir de la Vpc-f se calculó el índice de la VPc-f (iVpc-f) que considera otras variables que influyen en la Vpc-f, como edad, presión arterial, sexo y frecuencia cardiaca. La presencia de CAA se valoró mediante radiografía lateral de columna lumbar calculándose el índice de Kauppila (iKauppila) y las CC mediante tomografía computarizada multidetección por el método de Agatston, calculándose su índice (iAgatston). Para el estudio de la asociación entre iVpc-f, iKauppila, iAgatston, presión aórtica central, parámetros clínicos y datos de laboratorio se usaron la regresión múltiple y la regresión logística. La capacidad discriminativa del iVpc-f para evaluar la presencia de CAA y CC se determinó mediante el área bajo la curva (ABC) de ROC (receiver-operating characteristic). Resultados: La Vpc-f y el iVpc-f fueron 11,3±2,6m/s y 10,6m/s, respectivamente. El iVpc-f fue mayor cuando la ERC coexistía con diabetes mellitus (DM). Se detectaron CAA y CC en el 77% y el 87%, respectivamente. La albuminuria (β=0,13, p=0,005) y el iKauppila (β=0,36, p=0,001) se asociaron de forma independiente con la magnitud del iVpc-f... (AU)


Rationale and objectives: Increased central (aortic) arterial stiffness has hemodynamic repercussions that affect the incidence of cardiovascular and renal disease. In chronic kidney disease (CKD) there may be an increase in aortic stiffness secondary to multiple metabolic alterations including calcification of the vascular wall (VC). The objective of this study was to analyze the association of central aortic pressures and aortic stiffness with the presence of VC in abdominal aorta (AAC) and coronary arteries (CAC). Materials and methods: We included 87 patients with CKD stage 3 and 4. Using applanation tonometry, central aortic pressures and aortic stiffness were studied. We investigated the association of aortic pulse wave velocity (Pvc-f) and Pvc-f adjusted for age, blood pressure, sex and heart rate (Pvc-f index) with AAC obtained on lumbar lateral radiography and CAC assessed by multidetector computed tomography. AAC and CAC were scored according to Kauppila and Agatston methods, respectively. For the study of the association between iPvc-f index, Kauppila score, Agatston score, central aortic pressures, clinical parameters and laboratory data, multiple and logistic regression were used. We investigated the diagnosis performance of the Pvc-f index for prediction of VC using receiver-operating characteristic (ROC). Results: Pvc-f and Pvc-f index were 11.3±2.6m/s and 10.6m/s, respectively. The Pvc-f index was higher when CKD coexisted with diabetes mellitus (DM). AAC and CAC were detected in 77% and 87%, respectively. Albuminuria (β=0.13, p=0.005) and Kauppila score (β=0.36, p=0.001) were independently associated with Pvc-f index. In turn, Pvc-f index (β=0.39, p=0.001), DM (β=0.46, p=0.01), and smoking (β=0.53; p=0.006) were associated with Kauppila score, but only Pvc-f index predicted AAC [OR: 3.33 (95% CI: 1.6–6.9; p=0.001)]. The Kauppila score was independently associated with the Agatston score (β=1.53, p=0.001)... (AU)
