Obesity is believed to be a risk factor for COVID-19 and unfavorable outcomes, although data on this remains better elucidated. To evaluate the impact of obesity endpoints patients hospitalized due SARS-CoV-2. This retrospective cohort study evaluated at tertiary hospital (Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina USP) from March December 2020. Only positive (real-time PCR or serology) were included. Data collected medical records included clinical demographic information, weight...
Abstract Background Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) may predispose patients to thrombotic events. The best anticoagulation strategy for continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) in such is still under debate. purpose of this study was evaluate the impact that different protocols have on filter clotting risk. Methods This a retrospective observational comparing two strategies (citrate only and citrate plus intravenous infusion unfractionated heparin) with acute kidney injury (AKI),...
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common in cirrhotic patients and associated with negative outcomes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the presence AKI its progression according KDIGO (Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes) criteria admitted emergency department determine association hospital mortality. This retrospective included 258 a university from March 2015 February 2017. diagnosed classified criteria. overall incidence 53.9%, mortality 28.4%. Mortality presence, stage, AKI....
Diabetic ketoacidosis is the most frequent hyperglycemic complication in evolution of diabetes mellitus. Common precipitating factors include newly diagnosed mellitus, noncompliance with therapy and infections. However, few studies have been conducted Brazil none were prospective design.To describe incidence, clinical laboratory characteristics diabetic among emergency department patients a tertiary-level teaching hospital Brazil. We also aimed to identify immediate long-term mortality...
The performance characteristics of the Panbio™ COVID-19 Ag test was evaluated at an emergency room setting against RT-PCR, considered gold-standard for detection SARS-CoV-2, in São Paulo, Brazil. study aimed to determine sensitivity, specificity, Positive Percent Agreement (PPA), and Negative (NPA) as compared RT-PCR.Specimens from 127 suspected patients were tested by both RT-PCR.In relation RT-PCR using Ct values ≤ 40 upper limit positivity, showed overall sensitivity 84.3% (95% CI...
We designed a cohort study to describe characteristics and outcomes of patients with coronavirus disease (COVID-19) admitted the intensive care unit (ICU) in largest public hospital Sao Paulo, Brazil, as Latin America becomes epicenter pandemic.This is protocol for being conducted at an academic Brazil 300 adult ICU beds dedicated COVID-19 patients. will include suspected or confirmed during period. The main outcome survival 28 days. Data be collected prospectively retrospectively by trained...
Background. The short-term efficacy and safety of everolimus in combination with tacrolimus have been described several clinical trials. Yet, detailed long-term data comparing the use or mycophenolate kidney transplant recipients receiving are lacking. Methods. This is a 5-y follow-up post hoc analysis prospective trial including 288 patients who were randomized to receive single 3-mg/kg dose rabbit antithymocyte globulin, tacrolimus, (EVR), prednisone (rabbit globulin/EVR, n = 85);...
ABSTRACT Introduction The performance characteristics of the Panbio™ COVID-19 Ag test were evaluated against RT-PCR – considered gold-standard for detection SARS-CoV-2 at an emergency room in São Paulo, Brazil. study aimed to determine sensitivity, specificity, positive percent agreement (PPA), and negative (NPA) as compared RT-PCR. Methods Specimens from 127 suspected patients tested by both Results Evaluation between indicated overall sensitivity 84% (95%CI, 75-93.8%) specificity 98%...
There have been few studies investigating acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients with yellow fever (YF). The objective of this study was to identify the risk factors for AKI and death such patients.We evaluated 95 consecutive critically ill adult sylvatic form YF, as confirmed by reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction, Brazil. outcome measures were (as defined Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes [KDIGO] criteria) in-hospital death.Of patients, 73 (76.8%) had 59 (62.1%) died...
The objective of this study was to evaluate two different criteria for deciding when KRT should be initiated in patients with COVID-19-related AKI, as well determine the impact timing KRT, defined by each criterion, on in-hospital mortality among such patients. This a retrospective involving 512 adult admitted ICU. All participants had laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 and confirmed diagnosis AKI. potential predictors were determination based temporal criterion (days since hospital admission)...
The objective of this study was to determine the impact timing KRT, dichotomized by a temporal criterion or creatinine level, in patients with COVID-19-related AKI. This retrospective involving 512 adult admitted ICU. All participants had laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 and confirmed diagnosis potential predictors were determination KRT based on (days since hospital admission) that serum cutoff criterion. Covariates included age, sex, SOFA score, as well need for mechanical ventilation...
Abstract Background Acute kidney injury is a common complication in solid organ transplants, notably liver transplantation. The MELD score validated to predict mortality of cirrhotic patients, which also used for allocation, however the influence this allocation criteria on AKI incidence and after transplantation still uncertain. Methods This retrospective single center study cohort patients submitted transplant tertiary Brazilian hospital: Jan/2002 Dec/2013, divided two groups, before...
A 56-year-old woman, the recipient of a kidney transplant 8 years ago, was admitted to nephrology intensive care unit with septic shock secondary disseminated shingles after immunosuppressive therapy for acute cellular rejection. The patient developed AKI requiring RRT. Due history right internal jugular vein thrombosis related previous vascular access, left catheterized nontunneled double lumen hemodialysis catheter (12 French, 20 cm) without any complications. Routine postprocedure chest...

Abstract Infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which can result in disease 2019 (COVID-19), has caused an unprecedented global pandemic. The epicenter of that pandemic Latin America was Brazil, where more than 500,000 deaths have been attributed to COVID-19.
