    RESUMEN: In los pacientes trasplantados renales los eventos cardiovasculares ocurren 50 veces m谩s que en la poblaci贸n general y son la principal causa de muerte. El objetivo del estudio fue evaluar el comportamiento del perfil cardio-metab贸lico y determinar la frecuencia de eventos cardiovasculares mayores en el primer a帽o del trasplante. M茅todos: estudio prospectivo en el que se evalu贸 el perfil cardio-metab贸lico en 67 pacientes adultos trasplantados durante el 2011. Resultados: la edad promedio fue 44,3卤12,05 a帽os, 68,7 % eran hombres y 95,5 %, hipertensos. En el 89,6 % se emple贸 alemtuzumab-esteroides y ciclosporina e introducci贸n tard铆a del antimetabolito. Se presentaron 3 diabetes mellitus postrasplante, 3 eventos cardiovasculares mayores y 12 rechazos agudos. Al a帽o, la alb煤mina, la hemoglobina, el 铆ndice de masa corporal, el calcio y la HbA1C aumentaron con respecto al valor previo al trasplante (p<0,05), mientras que la paratohormona, el f贸sforo, la creatinina y el 谩cido 煤rico disminuyeron (p<0,05). La tasa de filtraci贸n glomerular (TFG) al a帽o fue mayor en los pacientes sin rechazo (p 0,001). Conclusi贸n: la terapia inmunosupresora con alemtuzumab鈥揷iclosporina-esteroides mostr贸 que al a帽o del trasplante hubo mejor铆a significativa del metabolismo mineral 贸seo, el 谩cido 煤rico, la alb煤mina y la hemoglobina, pero empeoraron significativamente la HbA1c, el peso y el IMC, con una baja frecuencia de casos nuevos de diabetes mellitus y eventos cardiovasculares mayores.ABSTRACT: Cardiovascular events occur 50 times more often in kidney transplant patients than in the general population and are the leading cause of death. The aim of the study was to evaluate the behavior of cardio-metabolic profile and determine the incidence of major cardiovascular events in the first year after transplantation. Methods: This prospective study evaluated the behavior of cardio-metabolic profile in adult patients that were transplanted during 2011. Results: The median age was 44.3 卤 12.05 years, 68.7 % were men and 95.5 %, hypertensive. Alemtuzumab-cyclosporine and steroids were used in 89.6 %, delaying the introduction of the antimetabolite. In the first year after transplantation there were three cases of diabetes mellitus, three major cardiovascular events, and 12 cases of acute rejection. Albumin, hemoglobin, weight, body mass index (BMI), calcium and HbA1C increased (p<0.05) whereas paratohormone, phosphorus, creatinine and uric acid decreased (p<0.05). Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was higher in patients without rejection (p=0.001). Conclusion: This immunosuppressive protocol with alemtuzumab, cyclosporine and steroids, and the delayed introduction of the antimetabolite improved bone mineral metabolism, uric acid, albumin and hemoglobin, but there were negative effects on HbA1c, weight and BMI. There was a low incidence of new onset diabetes mellitus and major cardiovascular events

    Acute esophageal necrosis, or black esophagus, is a rare syndrome affecting sick elderly patients, with high mortality rate. Its clinical expression is gastrointestinal bleeding. Treatment includes hemodynamic support, nil-per-os, proton pump inhibitors and management of the coexisting clinical conditions. We report the case of a woman presenting with black esophagus as complication of a percutaneous gastrostomy, who received medical care at Hospital Pablo Tob贸n Uribe, in Medell铆n, Colombia
