目的：观察冠状动脉介入术后患者肾功能变化情况、CIN发生率及其相关危险因素。方法：选择从2009年12月至2010年3月在新疆维吾尔自治区人民医院心内科接受冠状动脉介入术的患者131人,测定介入术前5天内任何一天和术后48小时的Scr,分析CIN危险因素。结果：131例患者中有8例发生CIN,发病率为6.1%,Logistic多因素回归分析均显示糖尿病、年龄大于70岁、LVEF小于45%是CIN发生的独立危险因素。结论：糖尿病、LVEF〈45%、年龄〉70岁是CIN的独立危险因素。     

右美托咪啶对直肠癌患者术后胃肠功能恢复的影响

目的:观察围术期输注右美托咪啶对直肠癌患者术后镇痛及胃肠功能恢复的影响。方法:60例择期行直肠癌根治术的患者随机分为三组:空白对照组(Ctr组)不输注右美托咪啶;右美托咪啶组的患者入室后给予面罩吸氧并且泵注盐酸右美托咪啶,剂量为1μg/kg,10 min输注完毕后开始麻醉诱导,大剂量组(LD组)患者麻醉维持期间持续泵注右美托咪啶0.7μg/kg/h;小剂量组(MD组)泵注方法同LD组,术中持续泵注剂量为0.1μg/kg/h。手术结束后记录患者离开恢复室时(V1)、术后6 h(V2)、12 h(V3)、和24 h(V4)四个时间点的术后镇痛评分和胃肠功能恢复时间包括肠鸣音出现时间、排气时间、排便时间。结果:与其余两组比较,大剂量组患者各时间点的术后镇痛评分低于小剂量组和空白组,差异有统计学意义(P0.05)。小剂量组患者V1时疼痛评分较空白组减少(P0.05),其余时间点术后疼痛评分两组比较无统计学差异(P0.05)。大剂量组患者术后肠鸣音恢复时间较其余两组增加(P0.05),排气、排便时间与其余两组比较无统计学差异(P0.05)。小剂量组与空白组比较两组术后肠鸣音出现时间、排气时间和排便时间无统计学差异(P0.05)。结论:围术期大剂量输注盐酸右美托咪啶可以改善患者术后疼痛,且不会抑制术后胃肠功能的恢复。     

Use of 5-Fluorocytosine in Patients with Impaired Renal Function

The plasma level and elimination of 5-fluorocytosine (5-FC) was measured in normal subjects and patients with impaired renal function. Prolongation of the half-life of the drug in renal failure has been confirmed. Renal clearance of 5-FC was about 75% of the creatinine clearance and a corresponding modification of drug dosage should be made in patients with renal insufficiency.     

Effect of Heparin on Renal Function in Patients with Oliguria

The effect of short-term administration of heparin has been studied in seven patients with oliguric glomerulonephritis, five with accelerated hypertension, and three with transplant rejection. Measurements were made of the glomerular filtration rate, radiofibrinogen catabolism, and complement inhibition. Beneficial effects on fibrinogen catabolism were found in some cases of accelerated hypertension and transplant rejection, but heparin alone had no dramatic effect in glomerulonephritis. Heparin produced an increase of glomerular filtration rate, but in-vivo inhibition of complement by heparin was small.

Deterioration in Renal Function after Beta-blockade in Patients with Chronic Renal Failure and Hypertension

Treatment of hypertension with beta-blocking agents in three patients with moderately severe chronic renal failure was followed by rapid deterioration of renal function. In two of the patients the need for maintenance haemodialysis was accelerated but renal function in the third reverted to pretreatment levels after the drug was stopped. These findings suggest that until more is known about the effects of beta-blocking drugs they should not be given to patients with moderately severe renal failure.     

终末期肾病患者行甲状旁腺切除对颈动脉钙化的影响

目的:探讨对终末期肾病患者行甲状旁腺切除对颈动脉钙化的影响.方法:选择我院2009年10月至2010年12月收治的20例继发性甲状旁腺功能亢进的终末期肾病患者,行甲状旁腺切除术,对患者术前、术后进行颈动脉彩超检查颈动脉钙化情况,并将患者术前、术后的血钙、血磷、钙磷乘积、PTH、C反应蛋白、血红蛋白、白蛋白等指标进行比较.结果:与术前比较,术后患者颈动脉钙化斑块有明显减少,血钙、血磷、钙磷乘积、PTH、C反应蛋白均明显降低,差异性有显著(P＜0.05);血红蛋白较术前明显升高(P＜0.05).结论:切除甲状旁腺(PTX)能安全有效的降低甲状旁腺素水平、改善钙磷代谢紊乱,并控制颈动脉钙化的进展.     

The Effect of Urography on Renal Function in Patients with Multiple Myeloma

Reports in the medical literature of seven patients with multiple myeloma who died of acute renal failure following intravenous urography prompted a study of 39 patients with multiple myeloma who were subjected to intravenous urography at the Cleveland Clinic from 1940 to 1959. Four developed acute renal failure and two died within three weeks. All four revealed evidence of renal damage, or insufficiency, or both prior to urography. Thirty-five patients, 15 of whom had renal damage, had no untoward reaction to intravenous urography. These observations suggest that urography is associated with a small but definite risk in patients who have multiple myeloma and renal involvement.     

Studies on the Absorption and Distribution of Doxycycline in Normal Patients and in Patients with Severely Impaired Renal Function

Doxycycline, a recently synthesized analogue of tetracycline, was given to 16 patients with normal renal function and to 14 patients with severely impaired renal function. Serum concentrations in the two groups following a single dose were followed after absorption. The rate of clearance from the plasma following a single dose did not differ significantly in the two groups despite low urinary concentrations in patients with renal failure. No accumulation of doxycycline occurred in the serum of three normal patients or of nine patients with renal failure when treated with either 200 mg. daily or 200 mg. initially followed by 100 mg. daily for up to 15 days.     

Differential Renal Function Studies in the Diagnosis of Renal Hypertension

Over a 10-year period, positive criteria of the Howard test and the Rapoport Index have shown consistently good correlation with sustained relief or marked improvement in hypertension, in patients with main renal artery lesions. Similar correlation was obtained with ischemic criteria from histopathologic studies.Differential function studies did not reveal positive ischemic criteria in any patient operated upon for unilateral parenchymal disease. Histopathologic criteria of ischemia were also infrequent in this group. Nevertheless, marked improvement or cure of hypertension occurred in 62% of the latter. No factor can be used to predict improvement in this type of renal hypertension. Differential renal function criteria may occasionally appear to indicate renal artery ischemia in the more normal kidney in patients with unilateral parenchymal renal disease; wrong interpretation is avoided by taking differential creatinine clearance into account. Until vasopressor substances can be easily measured and accurately interpreted, aortography is indicated in selected patients.

Medicare,Medicaid fraud a billion-dollar art form in the US

Medicare and Medicaid fraud costs billions of dollars each year in the US. Investigators have shown that fraud is found in all segments of the health care system. Even though the Canadian system has stricter regulations and tighter controls, can regulators here afford to be complacent about believing that such abuse would not happen here? One province has established an antifraud unit to monitor its health insurance scheme; it already has 1 prosecution under its belt.

Adherence with Dosing Guideline in Patients with Impaired Renal Function at Hospital Discharge

Objectives

To determine the prevalence, determinants, and potential clinical relevance of adherence with the Dutch dosing guideline in patients with impaired renal function at hospital discharge.

Design

Retrospective cohort study between January 2007 and July 2011.

Setting

Academic teaching hospital in the Netherlands.

Subjects

Patients with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) between 10-50 ml/min/1.73m² at discharge and prescribed one or more medicines of which the dose is renal function dependent.

Main Outcome Measures

The prevalence of adherence with the Dutch renal dosing guideline was investigated, and the influence of possible determinants, such as reporting the eGFR and severity of renal impairment (severe: eGFR<30 and moderate: eGFR 30-50 ml/min/1.73m²). Furthermore, the potential clinical relevance of non-adherence was assessed.

Results

1327 patients were included, mean age 67 years, mean eGFR 38 ml/min/1.73m². Adherence with the guideline was present in 53.9% (n=715) of patients. Reporting the eGFR, which was incorporated since April 2009, resulted in more adherence with the guideline: 50.7% vs. 57.0%, RR 1.12 (95% CI 1.02-1.25). Adherence was less in patients with severe renal impairment (46.0%), compared to patients with moderate renal impairment (58.1%, RR 0.79; 95% CI 0.70-0.89). 71.4% of the cases of non-adherence had the potential to cause moderate to severe harm.

Conclusion

Required dosage adjustments in case of impaired renal function are often not performed at hospital discharge, which may cause harm to the majority of patients. Reporting the eGFR can be a small and simple first step to improve adherence with dosing guidelines.     

Renal Function Trajectories in Patients with Prior Improved eGFR Slopes and Risk of Death

Background

Multiple prior studies demonstrated that patients with early Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) and positive estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) slopes experience increased risk of death. We sought to characterize patients with positive eGFR slopes, examine the renal function trajectory that follows the time period where positive slope is observed, and examine the association between different trajectories and risk of death.

Methods and Findings

We built a cohort of 204,132 United States veterans with early CKD stage 3; eGFR slopes were defined based on Bayesian mixed-effects models using outpatient eGFR measurements between October 1999 and September 2004; to build renal function trajectories, patients were followed longitudinally thereafter (from October 2004) until September 2013. There were 41,410 (20.29%) patients with positive eGFR slope and they exhibited increased risk of death compared to patients with stable eGFR slope (HR = 1.33, CI:1.31–1.35). There was an inverse graded association between severity of albuminuria and the odds of positive eGFR slope (OR = 0.94, CI:0.90–0.98, and OR = 0.76, CI:0.69–0.84 for microalbuminuria and albuminuria; respectively). Following the time period where positive eGFR slope is observed, we characterized 4 trajectory phenotypes: high eGFR intercept and positive trajectory (HIPT) (12.42%), intermediate intercept and mild negative trajectory (IIMNT) (60.04%), low intercept and fast negative trajectory (LIFNT)(23.33%), and high intercept and fast negative trajectory (HIFNT) (4.20%). Compared to IIMNT (reference group), HIPT is associated with younger age, dementia, HIV, chronic lung disease, peripheral artery disease, weight loss, and inversely associated with albuminuria; LIFNT and HIFNT were associated with diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, peripheral artery disease, and albuminuria. The risk of death at 9 years was lowest in IIMNT (HR = 1.12, CI:1.09–1.14), highest in HIPT (HR = 1.71, CI:1.63–1.79), and intermediate in LIFNT (HR = 1.36, CI:1.32–1.40) and HIFNT (HR = 1.56, CI:1.45–1.68).

Conclusions

Our results demonstrate that patients with positive eGFR slopes, when followed over longer period of time, follow 4 distinct trajectory phenotypes that have distinct demographic and clinical correlates and are differentially associated with risk of death.
