Could emotional processing influence pain perception and quality of life in chronic kidney disease and hemodialyzed patients?
2017
Background and Objectives: The incidence of chronic pain is 11-24% in general population, whereas it affects 50% of hemodialyzed subjects and is often secondary to comorbidities, CKD-related complications and certain clinical procedures. Consequently, a better approach in evaluating pain as a “symptom” and in managing it adequately is required for these patients. Methods: 33% of the 300 patients enrolled properly consigned the questionnaires. The mean age of dialyzed patients was 52.2±11.2 years, whereas 54.9±10.7 years was the mean age for CKD patients. Moreover, 53 healthy subjects, ages 20-65, have been included in the study as control group. Specific psycho-diagnostic tests were adminis…
Complex technological and biological research of solutions for peritoneal dialysis
2018
Objective : The purpose of our work was to conduct technological, analytical, and biological investigations and stability studies of peritoneal dialysis (PD) solutions containing glucose and sodium lactate in single-chamber containers. Methods : Different formulations of PD solutions were prepared and sterilized at a temperature of 121 °C during 15 m. UV-spectrophotometric determination was performed using purified water as a blank. The spectra of the solutions were run in the range of 220 to 400 nm for the identification of an absorption maximum (λ max ) and measuring the absorbance at 228-230 nm and λ max before and after heat sterilization. λ max of the most PD solutions after sterilizat…
Cukrzyca typu 2 i przewlekła choroba nerek jako czynniki rokownicze w ostrym zapaleniu trzustki
2019
Przeprowadzono analizę czynników rokowniczych ostrego zapalenia trzustki (OZT). Dokonano krytycznego przeglądu najważniejszych skali rokowniczych OZT: Apache II, Ransona, BISAP, Sofa, Marshalla. Wskazano na ich ograniczenia, ale i przydatność kliniczną we wczesnej stratyfikacji prognostycznej OZT. W diagnostyce różnicowej należy wyodrębniać etiologię alkoholową i żółciopochodną. Występująca przed zachorowaniem cukrzyca typu 2 i przewlekła choroba nerek znamiennie pogarszają przebieg OZT i powinny być włączone do skali rokowniczych. Wykazano, że obecność cukrzycy z poziomem HBA1C powyżej 6,5% wiąże się ze zwiększoną śmiertelnością wśród chorych na OZT i wydłuża się okres hospitalizacji o 5 d…

Kinetics of Renal Function during Induction in Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma: Results of Two Prospective Studies by the German Myeloma Study Group…
2021
Background: Preservation of kidney function in newly diagnosed (ND) multiple myeloma (MM) helps to prevent excess toxicity. Patients (pts) from two prospective trials were analyzed, provided postinduction (PInd) restaging was performed. Pts received three cycles with bortezomib (btz), cyclophosphamide, and dexamethasone (dex
Medium-term effects of bisoprolol administration on renal hemodynamics and function in mild to moderate essential hypertension
2007
Arterial hypertension is a significant cause of end-stage renal failure; effective treatment of hypertensive patients reduces the rate of progression of this disorder. ss-Blockers, particularly nonselective agents, are associated with deterioration of renal function in patients with chronic renal failure. Previous studies on the interaction of the beta1-selective adrenergic antagonist bisoprolol with kidney function have been performed only acutely and over the short term. This study was designed to evaluate the antihypertensive efficacy and effects on renal hemodynamics and function of bisoprolol during medium-term (6 mo) treatment of patients with mild to moderate essential hypertension. …
Endovascular Rescue Treatment for Occlusion of Renal Arteries Resulting in Acute Renal Failure
2018
Urgent revascularization of renal arteries for their occlusions resulting in acute renal failure still remains a therapeutic challenge. In this paper we describe 3 cases of successful endovascular interventions for acute non-iatrogenic occlusions of renal arteries. In the first patient we managed thrombotic occlusion of the renal artery that coexisted with gastrointestinal bleeding. We recanalized occluded renal artery using an extraction catheter and stenting, and managed the bleeding with the use of embolization coils. Endovascular repair resulted in normal dieresis, still several days after the intervention gastrointestinal hemorrhage recurred and patient died due to multiple organ failu…
Images - Computed tomography urographic appearance of traumatic rupture of renal cyst into the pyelocaliceal system.
2019
Spontaneous or traumatic rupture of renal cysts, documented by radiological imaging, occurs infrequently. The pathogenesis of a cyst rupture is still unclear, except when it has occurred following trauma or when the cyst has become infected. Imaging plays a crucial role in the diagnosis, management, surveillance, and choice of lesions that need treatment.
Psoriasis and Its Impact on In-Hospital Outcome in Patients Hospitalized with Acute Kidney Injury
2020
Background: Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disease which affects the body far beyond the skin. Whereas there is solid evidence that chronic skin inflammation in psoriasis drives cardiovascular disease, the impact on renal impairment and acute kidney injury (AKI) is still unclear. We aimed to analyze the impact of psoriasis on the in-hospital outcome of patients hospitalized with AKI. Methods: In this retrospective database study, we investigated data on characteristics, comorbidities, and in-hospital outcomes for all hospitalized patients with AKI stratified for concomitant psoriasis, which were collected by the Federal Office of Statistics in Germany between 2005 and 2016. Results: Am…
IgA-Dominant Infection-Associated Glomerulonephritis Following SARS-CoV-2 Infection
2021
The renal involvement of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has been reported. The etiology of kidney injury appears to be tubular, mainly due to the expression of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2, the key joint receptor for SARS-CoV-2; however, cases with glomerular implication have also been documented. The multifactorial origin of this renal involvement could include virus-mediated injury, cytokine storm, angiotensin II pathway activation, complement dysregulation, hyper-coagulation, and microangiopathy. We present the renal histological findings from a patient who developed acute kidney injury and de novo nephrotic syndrome, highly suggestive of acute IgA-domina…
