Severe adverse events such as acute kidney injury have been reported. Scant data are available on the use and safety of remdesivir in kidney transplant recipients. Methods We present a multicenter cohort study of 51 kidney transplant recipients with COVID-19 treated with remdesivir. Outcomes and safety were assessed. Results Mean age at diagnosis was 60 years, with a median time since kidney transplant of 4.5 years. Mean time since admission to remdesivir was 2 days. Twenty-eight patients (54.9%) required mechanical ventilation (19 noninvasive). Mortality was 18.9% and markedly higher if aged ≥65 years (45% vs. 3.2% in younger patients). Acute kidney injury was present in 27.7% of patients, but was diagnosed in 50% before treatment. No patients required remdesivir discontinuation because of adverse events. We did not find significant hepatoxicity or systemic symptoms resulting from the drug. Conclusion In our cohort of kidney transplant recipients, remdesivir was well tolerated and safe in renal and hepatic toxicity, but randomized trials are needed to assess its efficacy

Outcomes of Frail Patients While Waiting for Kidney Transplantation : Differences between Physical Frailty Phenotype and FRAIL Scale

Frailty is associated with poorer outcomes among patients waiting for kidney transplantation (KT). Several different tools to measure frailty have been used; however, their predictive value is unknown. This is a prospective longitudinal study of 449 KT candidates evaluated for frailty by the Physical Frailty Phenotype (PFP) and the FRAIL scale. During the study period, 296 patients received a KT, while 153 remained listed. Patients who did not get receive a transplant were more frequently frail according to PFP (16.3 vs. 7.4%, p = 0.013). Robust patients had fewer hospital admissions during the 1st year after listing (20.8% if PFP = 0 vs. 43.4% if ≥1, and 27.1% if FRAIL = 0 vs. 48.9% if ≥1) and fewer cardiovascular events (than FRAIL ≥ 1) or major infectious events (than PFP ≥ 1). According to PFP, scoring 1 point had an impact on patient survival and chance of transplantation in the univariate analysis. The multivariable analysis corroborated the result, as candidates with PFP ≥ 3 had less likelihood of transplantation (HR 0.45 [0.26-0.77]). The FRAIL scale did not associate with any of these outcomes. In KT candidates, pre-frailty and frailty according to both the PFP and the FRAIL scale were associated with poorer results while listed. The PFP detected that frail patients were less likely to receive a KT, while the FRAIL scale did not

Increased mortality after kidney transplantation in mildly frail recipients

Physical Frailty Phenotype (PFP) is the most used frailty instrument among kidney transplant recipients, classifying patients as pre-frail if they have 1-2 criteria and as frail if they have ≥3. However, different definitions of robustness have been used among renal patients, including only those who have 0 criteria, or those with 0-1 criteria. Our aim was to determine the impact of one PFP criterion on transplant outcomes. We undertook a retrospective study of 296 kidney transplant recipients who had been evaluated for frailty by PFP at the time of evaluating for transplantation. Only 30.4% of patients had 0 criteria, and an additional 42.9% showed one PFP criterion. As PFP score increased, a higher percentage of women and cerebrovascular disease were found. Recipients with 0-1 criteria had lower 1-year mortality after transplant than those with ≥2 (1.8% vs 10.1%), but this difference was already present when we only considered those who scored 0 (mortality 1.1%) and 1 (mortality 2.4%) separately. The multivariable analysis confirmed that one PFP criterion was associated to a higher risk of patient death after kidney transplantation [hazard ratio 3.52 (95% confidence interval 1.03-15.9)]. Listed kidney transplant candidates frequently show only one PFP frailty criterion. This has an independent impact on patient survival after transplantation

Validation of a survival benefit estimator tool in a cohort of European kidney transplant recipients

Producción CientíficaPre-transplant prognostic scores help to optimize donor/recipient allocation and to minimize organ discard rates. Since most of these scores come from the US, direct application in non-US populations is not advisable. The Survival Benefit Estimator (SBE), built upon the Estimated Post-Transplant Survival (EPTS) and the Kidney Donor Profile Index (KDPI), has not been externally validated. We aimed to examine SBE in a cohort of Spanish kidney transplant recipients. We designed a retrospective cohortbased study of deceased-donor kidney transplants carried out in two different Spanish hospitals. Unadjusted and adjusted Cox models were applied for patient survival. Predictive models were compared using Harrell’s C statistics. SBE, EPTS and KDPI were independently associated with patient survival (p ≤ 0.01 in all models). Model discrimination measured with Harrell’s C statistics ranged from 0.57 (KDPI) to 0.69 (SBE) and 0.71 (EPTS). After adjustment, SBE presented similar calibration and discrimination power to that of EPTS. SBE tended to underestimate actual survival, mainly among high EPTS recipients/high KDPI donors. SBE performed acceptably well at discriminating posttransplant survival in a cohort of Spanish deceased-donor kidney transplant recipients, although its use as the main allocation guide, especially for high KDPI donors or high EPTS recipients requires further testing.Rio Hortega contract (ISCIII-11453)Fondo de Investigaciones Sanitarias - Fondo Europeo de Desarrollo Regional (project PI16/0617)Redinren (project RD16/0009/001

Recovery of dialysis patients with COVID-19 : health outcomes 3 months after diagnosis in ERACODA

Background. Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-related short-term mortality is high in dialysis patients, but longer-term outcomes are largely unknown. We therefore assessed patient recovery in a large cohort of dialysis patients 3 months after their COVID-19 diagnosis. Methods. We analyzed data on dialysis patients diagnosed with COVID-19 from 1 February 2020 to 31 March 2021 from the European Renal Association COVID-19 Database (ERACODA). The outcomes studied were patient survival, residence and functional and mental health status (estimated by their treating physician) 3 months after COVID-19 diagnosis. Complete follow-up data were available for 854 surviving patients. Patient characteristics associated with recovery were analyzed using logistic regression. Results. In 2449 hemodialysis patients (mean ± SD age 67.5 ± 14.4 years, 62% male), survival probabilities at 3 months after COVID-19 diagnosis were 90% for nonhospitalized patients (n = 1087), 73% for patients admitted to the hospital but not to an intensive care unit (ICU) (n = 1165) and 40% for those admitted to an ICU (n = 197). Patient survival hardly decreased between 28 days and 3 months after COVID-19 diagnosis. At 3 months, 87% functioned at their pre-existent functional and 94% at their pre-existent mental level. Only few of the surviving patients were still admitted to the hospital (0.8-6.3%) or a nursing home (∼5%). A higher age and frailty score at presentation and ICU admission were associated with worse functional outcome. Conclusions. Mortality between 28 days and 3 months after COVID-19 diagnosis was low and the majority of patients who survived COVID-19 recovered to their pre-existent functional and mental health level at 3 months after diagnosis

RICORS2040 : The need for collaborative research in chronic kidney disease

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a silent and poorly known killer. The current concept of CKD is relatively young and uptake by the public, physicians and health authorities is not widespread. Physicians still confuse CKD with chronic kidney insufficiency or failure. For the wider public and health authorities, CKD evokes kidney replacement therapy (KRT). In Spain, the prevalence of KRT is 0.13%. Thus health authorities may consider CKD a non-issue: very few persons eventually need KRT and, for those in whom kidneys fail, the problem is 'solved' by dialysis or kidney transplantation. However, KRT is the tip of the iceberg in the burden of CKD. The main burden of CKD is accelerated ageing and premature death. The cut-off points for kidney function and kidney damage indexes that define CKD also mark an increased risk for all-cause premature death. CKD is the most prevalent risk factor for lethal coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and the factor that most increases the risk of death in COVID-19, after old age. Men and women undergoing KRT still have an annual mortality that is 10- to 100-fold higher than similar-age peers, and life expectancy is shortened by ~40 years for young persons on dialysis and by 15 years for young persons with a functioning kidney graft. CKD is expected to become the fifth greatest global cause of death by 2040 and the second greatest cause of death in Spain before the end of the century, a time when one in four Spaniards will have CKD. However, by 2022, CKD will become the only top-15 global predicted cause of death that is not supported by a dedicated well-funded Centres for Biomedical Research (CIBER) network structure in Spain. Realizing the underestimation of the CKD burden of disease by health authorities, the Decade of the Kidney initiative for 2020-2030 was launched by the American Association of Kidney Patients and the European Kidney Health Alliance. Leading Spanish kidney researchers grouped in the kidney collaborative research network Red de Investigación Renal have now applied for the Redes de Investigación Cooperativa Orientadas a Resultados en Salud (RICORS) call for collaborative research in Spain with the support of the Spanish Society of Nephrology, Federación Nacional de Asociaciones para la Lucha Contra las Enfermedades del Riñón and ONT: RICORS2040 aims to prevent the dire predictions for the global 2040 burden of CKD from becoming true

Estudio del daño renal inducido por la activación del sistema del complemento durante el fenómeno de isquemia reperfusión

Els avenços realitzats en els últims anys en les tècniques d'extracció i preservació dels òrgans trasplantats, així com en la medicació immunosupressora i l'avaluació de risc immunològic, han permès millorar la supervivència de l'empelt renal i del receptor a curt termini. Aquesta millora no es veu tan clarament reflectida a mitjà i llarg termini. Probablement, una de les causes d'això últim és la funció retardada de l'empelt, una forma de dany renal agut, que es presenta en un 20-50% dels receptors de donant cadàver i que empitjora el pronòstic dels ronyons trasplantats que la pateixen . En aquesta línia, la principal causa de funció retardada de l'empelt és el dany induït per la isquèmia-reperfusió, procés en part inherent a la tècnica del trasplantament renal, que es pot veure agreujat per múltiples factors com poden ser la situació del donant previ a la extracció de l'òrgan, la mateixa intervenció quirúrgica o per característiques del receptor. L'activació de el sistema del complement és un dels principals mecanismes involucrats en la fisiopatologia d'aquest fenomen. L'objectiu de la present tesi és aprofundir en el coneixement de el dany induït per l'activació del sistema del complement en el fenomen d'isquèmia-reperfusió, en l'àmbit del trasplantament renal. Per això, hem dissenyat tres estudis que abasten diferents aspectes clínics i etiopatogènics del dany pel complement en la isquèmia-reperfusió. Inicialment, vam analitzar l'impacte de la funció retardada de l'empelt, en una àmplia cohort de pacients trasplantats renals. Detectem pitjor supervivència de l'empelt i pitjor funció renal a l'any del trasplantament, en aquells pacients que van presentar funció retardada de l'empelt. D'altra banda, analitzem, la dinàmica de les concentracions solubles de el complex d'atac de membrana, producte de l'activació de la via final de el sistema del complement; també, examinem el patró histològic dels dipòsits del complex d'atac de membrana, C3d i el factor H. Aquesta anàlisi va ser realitzat en pacients trasplantats renals, amb i sense funció retardada de l'empelt, seguits de manera prospectiva. Vam trobar un augment rellevant tant dels nivells plasmàtics, com dels dipòsits histològics del complex d'atac de membrana, C3d i factor H, en aquells casos amb funció retardada de l'empelt. A més, vam detectar que una major concentració de nivells plasmàtics de complex d'atac de membrana es relaciona amb pitjor funció renal a 1 i 2 anys després de l'trasplantament. També vam desenvolupar un model d'hipòxia-reoxigenació, utilitzant cèl·lules tubulars proximals humanes (HK-2). Aquest model va revelar activació local de diferents components de sistema del complement, inclòs el complex d'atac de membrana, i els receptors de C5a (C5aR1 i C5L2), un altre producte final de el sistema del complement, poc estudiat en aquest àmbit. Finalment, avaluem l'expressió histològica de C5aR1 i C5L2, en biòpsies de pacients trasplantats renals amb funció retardada de l'empelt i un grup control. Aquesta anàlisi ens va mostrar, major expressió de C5aR1 a la membrana de les cèl·lules tubulars i de C5L2 en endoteli capil·lar peritubular en les biòpsies de pacients amb funció retardada de l'empelt, comparat amb els controls.Los avances realizados en los últimos años en las técnicas de extracción y preservación de los órganos trasplantados, así como en la medicación inmunosupresora y la evaluación del riesgo inmunológico, han permitido mejorar la supervivencia del injerto renal y del receptor a corto plazo. Esta mejoría no se ve tan claramente reflejada a medio y largo plazo. Probablemente, una de las causas de esto último es la función retrasada del injerto, una forma de daño renal agudo, que se presenta en un 20-50% de los receptores de donante fallecido y que empeora el pronóstico de los riñones trasplantados que la sufren. En esta línea, la principal causa de función retrasada del injerto es el daño inducido por la isquemia-reperfusión, proceso en parte inherente a la técnica del trasplante renal, que puede verse agravado por múltiples factores como pueden ser la situación del donante previo a la extracción del órgano, la propia intervención quirúrgica o por características del receptor. La activación del sistema del complemento es uno de los principales mecanismos involucrados en la fisiopatología de este fenómeno. El objetivo de la presente tesis es profundizar en el conocimiento del daño inducido por la activación del sistema del complemento en el fenómeno de isquemia-reperfusión, en el ámbito del trasplante renal. Para ello, hemos diseñado tres estudios que abarcan diferentes aspectos clínicos y etiopatogénicos del daño por el complemento en la isquemia-reperfusión. Inicialmente, analizamos el impacto de la función retrasada del injerto, en una amplia cohorte de pacientes trasplantados renales. Detectamos peor supervivencia del injerto y peor función renal al año del trasplante, en aquellos pacientes que presentaron función retrasada del injerto. Por otro lado, analizamos, la dinámica de las concentraciones solubles del complejo de ataque de membrana, producto de la activación de la vía final del sistema del complemento; también, examinamos el patrón histológico de los depósitos del complejo de ataque de membrana, C3d y el factor H. Este análisis fue realizado en pacientes trasplantados renales, con y sin función retrasada del injerto, seguidos de forma prospectiva. Encontramos un aumento relevante tanto de los niveles plasmáticos, como de los depósitos histológicos del complejo de ataque de membrana, C3d y factor H, en aquellos casos con función retrasada del injerto. Además, detectamos que una mayor concentración de niveles plasmáticos de complejo de ataque de membrana se relaciona con peor función renal a 1 y 2 años después del trasplante. También desarrollamos un modelo de hipoxia-reoxigenación, utilizando células tubulares proximales humanas (HK-2). Este modelo reveló activación local de diferentes componentes del sistema del complemento, incluido el complejo de ataque de membrana, y los receptores de C5a (C5aR1 y C5L2), otro producto final del sistema del complemento, poco estudiado en este ámbito. Finalmente, evaluamos la expresión histológica de C5aR1 y C5L2, en biopsias de pacientes trasplantados renales con función retrasada del injerto y un grupo control. Este análisis nos mostró, mayor expresión de C5aR1 en la membrana de las células tubulares y de C5L2 en endotelio de capilar peritubular en las biopsias de pacientes con función retrasada del injerto, comparado con los controles.The advances made during the last years in the extraction and preservation of the organs for transplantation, immunosuppressive medication, and the evaluation of immunological risk have improved patient and renal allograft survival. However, these improvements have had a limited effect on long-term survival. One of the reasons that negatively influence this long-term survival is the appearance of delayed graft function, a form of acute kidney damage, which occurs in 20-50% of deceased donor recipients and worsens the graft outcomes. The leading cause of delayed graft function is the damage induced by ischemia-reperfusion, a process inherent to the kidney transplantation process. The ischemia-reperfusion injury could be aggravating by different variables such as the donor's situation before organ retrieval or recipient characteristics. In the pathophysiology of this phenomenon, the activation of the complement system is highly relevant. This thesis's objective has been to expand our understanding of the damage induced by the activation of the complement system during ischemia-reperfusion injury in kidney transplantation. To this end, we designed three studies that evaluated different clinical and etiopathogenic aspects of the ischemia-reperfusion phenomenon. We initially assessed the impact of delayed graft function in a large cohort of kidney transplant patients. The development of delayed graft function was associated with worse graft survival and worse kidney function in the first year after transplantation. On the other hand, we analyze the dynamics of plasma levels of the membrane attack complex's soluble form, the final product from complement system activation in kidney transplant patients with and without delayed graft function. Additionally, we examined the histological pattern of the deposits of the membrane attack complex, C3d, and factor H in kidney biopsies from patients who were experiencing delayed graft function and controls with normal biopsies. We detected a relevant increase in plasma levels and histological deposits of the membrane attack complex, C3d, and factor H, in those patients with delayed graft function. A high concentration of membrane attack complex levels was related to worse kidney function at one and two years after transplantation. Finally, we developed a model of hypoxia-reoxygenation with human proximal tubular cells (HK-2). We demonstrated local activation of the complement system's different components, including the membrane attack complex, and the C5a receptors (C5aR1 and C5L2), another product of the complement system, scarcely studied in this area. Besides, we observed a higher expression of C5aR1 in the tubular cell membrane and C5L2 in the peritubular capillary endothelium, in biopsies of patients with delayed graft function, compared to controls

Proposta de intervenção para reduzir o índice de pacientes diabéticos com dislipidemias

Doença como a diabetes mellitus e dislipidemia configuram importantes problemas de saúde coletiva no Brasil. Observa-se que a falta de informação por parte dos diabéticos sobre o problema, bem como, os hábitos de vida inadequados dos mesmos, perpetuam a dislipidemia entre eles. Este estudo objetiva reduzir o percentual de diabéticos com dislipidemia na área de abrangência da Estratégia de Saúde Família Joaquim de Lima do município Três Marias-Minas Gerais, pelo aumento do nível de informação dos pacientes, do melhoramento da estrutura da Unidade Básica de Saúde (UBS) e da promoção de mudança de hábitos daqueles pacientes. A metodologia está embasada no método do Planejamento Estratégico Situacional (PES), por meio do qual, após processados os problemas identificados no diagnóstico situacional foi elaborado um plano ação para enfrentamento do problema priorizado. Espera-se diminuir a ocorrência no território de internações e óbitos relacionados a essa patologias

Diabetes mellitus: a single cardiorenal syndrome umbrella

Diabetes and chronic kidney disease are among the fastest-growing causes of death worldwide. An optimized conceptual framework on the pathogenesis of diabetic kidney disease and its interplay with cardiovascular disease will facilitate the development of monitoring and therapeutic strategies to decrease the risk for severe clinical events and early mortality. In this issue of ckj, Pinier et al. provide data supporting the existence in diabetic patients of a single cardiorenal syndrome umbrella, rather than separate cardiorenal or renocardiac entities (e.g. acute cardiorenal syndrome or chronic renocardiac syndromes)
