SHORT-TERM VARIABILITY OF 24-H SYSTOLIC BLOOD PRESSURE IS ASSOCIATED WITH MICROALBUMINURIA IN PATIENTS WITH PRIMARY HYPERTENSION

2015

Introduction: Limited and conflicting data are available about the association between short-term blood pressure (BP) variability and urinary albumin excretion rate (uAER). Aim: To analyse the relationships between microalbuminuria, defined as an uAER between 20 and 200 lg/min, and short-term BP variability, assessed as average real variability (ARV), weighted standard deviation (SD) of 24-h BP, and as SD of daytime and nighttime BP. Methods: The study population consisted of 316 untreated essential hypertensive patients with normal estimated glomerular filtration rate ([60 ml/min/1.73m2), which underwent 24-h ambulatory BP monitoring and 24-h uAER determination. Results: Microalbuminuria w…

Para-perirenal distribution of body fat is associated with reduced glomerular filtration rate regardless of other indices of adiposity in hypertensiv…

2018

Obesity is a well‐known risk factor for the development and progression of chronic kidney disease. Recently, para‐perirenal ultrasonographic fat thickness (PUFT) has shown to correlate with both total and visceral fat better than body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), and other indices of obesity. Moreover, a local paracrine and mechanical action of the PUFT on kidney has been described in recent studies. Aim of our study was to assess the relationship between glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and PUFT in comparison with other anthropometric and ultrasonographic indices of adiposity. Two hundred and ninety‐six hypertensive patients were enrolled. PUFT, cutis‐rectis thickness and re…

[OP.3B.03] INFLUENCE OF SUBCLINICAL RENAL DAMAGE ON EARLY VASCULAR AGING IN PATIENT WITH SYSTEMIC LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSUS

2016

Objective: It is well known that kidney is frequently involved in patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) However, conflicting data exist about the impact of renal involvement on vascular damage in this group of patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of renal damage on assessed by aortic pulse wave velocity (aPWV), evaluated a by intima-media thickness (IMT) measurement and assessed by renal resistive index (RRI) measurement, in patients with SLE. Design and method: We enrolled 52 SLE subjects (mean age 39 +/- 12 years), divided in two subgroups according to ACR/SLICC classification: patients with lupus nephritis, (LNG), and individuals presenting other featu…

The difference of free light chains as a predictor of kidney damage in patients with Multiple Myeloma

2022


 Background: Multiple myeloma (MM) is a malignant neoplasm characterized by the clonal expansion of plasma cells that can release monoclonal immunoglobulins (monoclonal component) or part of theme. Since 2001, the k and λ serum free light chains (sFLC) evaluation and their ratio (rFLC) have made up the laboratory analysis more sensitive and precise in MM patients. The role of rFLC has been widely studied and discussed and now it is validated in the literature. Instead, the value of free light chains difference (dFLC), especially in MM is less known yet. The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between the dFLC and the kidney damage parameters in patients with MM, in compa…
