P1082COMPARISON OF THE REMOVAL OF PROTEIN-BOUND TOXINS AND LARGE MIDDLE MOLECULES WITH HIGH-FLUX PMMA AND MEDIUM CUT-OFF DIALYZERS

Abstract Background and Aims Dialytic clearance of protein-bound toxins and large middle molecules is poor by diffusive treatment and limited by high-flux hemodialysis (HD) and on-line hemodiafiltration (OL-HDF), and only a few studies have examined how to improve their removal by other extracorporeal strategies. Since 2017, there is a new generation of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) membranes that suppress platelet adhesion on the membrane surface improving hemocompatibility and permeability, while also maintaining adsorption properties related to conventional PMMA membranes. Expanded HD (HDx) with medium cut-off (MCO) membranes has also recently been incorporated into clinical practice an…

Cardiovascular risk factors and the impact on prognosis in patients with chronic kidney disease secondary to autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease

Background: Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most frequent hereditary renal disease. There is an increased rate of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in ADPKD. In this study, we evaluate the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors, the achievement rates for treatment goals and cardiovascular events (CVE) in ADPKD and their relations with asymptomatic CVD in CKD from other etiologies (CKDoe) and controls. Methods: We evaluated 2445 CKD patients (2010–2012). The information collected was: clinical, anthropometric and analytical parameters, treatments and CVD evaluation (intima-media thickness (IMT), atheromatous plaque presence and ankle-brachial index (ABI)). Laborator…

Downregulation of miR-31 in Diabetic Nephropathy and its Relationship with Inflammation

Background/Aims: There is a lack of reliable biological markers for the early diagnosis of diabetic nephropathy (DN) during type 2 diabetes. In this pilot study we aim to assess whether miR-31 levels are modulated by the presence of DN and whether the expression of this miRNA is related to leukocyte-endothelial interactions and inflammation. Methods: Thirty-one T2D patients were enrolled in this pilot study; 18 with no diabetic complications and 13 with diabetic nephropathy. 24 non-diabetic subjects and 13 T2D patients with retinopathy (absent of other complications) were included to test the specificity of miR-31. Following anthropometric and biochemical evaluation, serum miR-31 levels wer…
