Klotho urinario determinado por ELISA como biomarcador precoz de fracaso renal agudo en pacientes sometidos a cirugía cardiaca o angiografía coronaria

ResumenIntroducción y objetivos: El fracaso renal agudo (FRA) es una complicación frecuente tras la cirugía cardiaca y las intervenciones percutáneas coronarias cuya aparición empeora el pronóstico de manera marcada. En los últimos años se han identificado nuevos biomarcadores precoces de FRA, pero aún quedan muchos aspectos importantes por resolver. Klotho es una proteína pleiotrópica que actúa como un factor paracrino y endocrino en múltiples órganos. En diversos modelos animales de FRA se ha demostrado niveles disminuidos de Klotho renal. No se ha publicado ningún estudio en el que se haya probado Klotho como marcador precoz de FRA en humanos. El objetivo de este trabajo es investigar la…

P1025HISTOLOGICAL AND CLINICAL FINDINGS IN ADULT AUTOPSIES OF TYPE 2 DIABETES MELLITUS PATIENTS WITH OR WITHOUT DIABETIC KIDNEY DISEASE

Abstract Background and Aims Few studies have analyzed early lesions of diabetic nephropathy (DN) in those patients who do not have clinical signs of this involvement, since the indication of renal biopsy is usually performed in patients with significant renal manifestations.The aim of the study was to analyze renal histological lesions from autopsies of diabetic patients with or without clinical expression of DN. Thus, we analyze their correlation according to the presence or absence of proteinuria (albumin/creatinine to ratio > 300). Autopsies from non-diabetic patients was used as a control group. Method Kidneys from autopsies of 21 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) an…

P0200KEEP ON (KEEPING RAAS INHIBITION TREATMENT WITH OPTIMAL POTASSIUM CONTROL). DESIGN OF A CLINICAL TRIAL OF USING SODIUM ZIRCONIUM CYCLOSILICATE FOR KEEPING RAAS INHIBITION AND/OR MRAS IN PATIENTS WITH CKD AND CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE HISTORY

Abstract Background and Aims Hyperkalemia (HK) is a potentially life-threatening condition, in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and congestive heart failure (CHF). The majority of patients affected with CKD or CHF, must be treated with inhibitors of renin angiotensin aldosterone system (RAASi) and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs). However, the treatments previously mentioned, increase the risk of HK episodes, which is the main cause of RAASi and MRAs downtitration or discontinuation, representing an undesirable clinical scenario, given that the patients are at high risk of be deprived of their nephroprotective effect and cardio-renal benefits The aim of the study is: …
