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…

INVERSE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CHOROIDAL THICKNESS AND SUBCLINICAL RENAL DAMAGE IN ESSENTIAL HYPERTENSION

2018

The introduction in last years of advanced techniques of optical coherence tomography (OCT) has greatly increased our understanding of the choroid, that is the most important vascular layer of the eye. Our study was aimed to assess choroidal thickness by using Swept-Source OCT (SS-OCT) in essential hypertensive patients (EHs) with and without subclinical renal damage (SRD). We enrolled 100 EHs of which 65 without kidney damage and 35 with SRD. In all the participants SS-OCT and a routine biochemical workup were performed. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was estimated by the CKD-EPI equation (eGFR). SRD was defined, by the presence of microalbuminuria or eGFR between 30 and 60 mL/min/1.73 m…

[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…

SUBCLINICAL RENAL DAMAGE IS ASSOCIATED WITH A REDUCED CHOROIDAL THICKNESS IN PATIENTS WITH PRIMARY HYPERTENSION

2018

Objective: The retina is considered the easiest accessible window to study the state of the systemic microcirculation, even if the choroid is the most important vascular layer of the eye. Our understanding of the choroid has been greatly increased in last years since the introduction of advanced techniques of optical coherence tomography (OCT). Our study was aimed to assess choroidal thickness by using Swept-Source OCT (SS-OCT) in essential hypertensive patients (EHs) with and without subclinical renal damage (SRD). Design and method: We enrolled 100 EHs of which 65 without kidney damage and 35 with SRD. In all the participants SS-OCT and a routine biochemical work-up were performed. Glomer…

Proteinuria-Microalbuminuria in Renal Damage

2015

Proteinuria (P) usually results from an insult in the glomerular and/or tubular structures of the kidney. It has been considered a marker of risk not only to develop renal insufficiency but also to suffer cardiovascular events, based on prospective studies carried out in the general population as well as in diabetic and hypertensive patients [1]. In fact, proteinuria has been considered a strong marker of risk and an intermediate endpoint during treatment [2, 3].

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…

Other Methods to Assess Renal Damage

2015

Although glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and proteinuria remain gold standard in the evaluation of renal target organ damage, imaging techniques and image-derived parameters allow for both assessment of renal function and estimation of cardiovascular risk. Enhancement in digital image processing permits dynamic measurement of renal vascular and intraparenchymal processes in real time. The most relevant in terms of clinical use to assess hypertension-induced organ damage are the renal resistive index (RRI), renal calcium score, and functional magnetic resonance imaging.

Predictors of Progression in Hypertensive Renal Disease in Children

2004

In hypertensive renal disease in children, several risk factors influence the development and the rate of progression of renal damage, including blood pressure levels, proteinuria, lipid disorders, and genetic differences. The impact of blood pressure on renal structures, the most important of the factors, depends not only on blood pressure levels, but also on the persistence of the blood pressure levels over time, mainly during the hours when the patient is resting or sleeping. Abnormal circadian variability is frequently observed in patients with renal damage, and nocturnal blood pressure reduction should be a major therapeutic objective to protect against a decline in renal function. Pro…
