We investigated the risk factors for pulmonary hypertension (PH) in patients receiving maintenance peritoneal dialysis (MPD). A group of 180 end-stage renal disease (124 men and 56 women; mean age: 56.43±8.36) were enrolled our study, which was conducted between January 2009 June 2014. All received MPD treatment Dialysis Center Second Affiliated Hospital Soochow University. Clinical data, laboratory indices, echocardiographic data from these collected, follow-ups scheduled bi-monthly. The...
The risk of cancer increases after transplantation. However, the consensus on immunosuppression (IS) adjustment diagnosis malignancy is lacking. Our study aims to assess impact IS mortality post-kidney transplant patients and allograft outcomes. We retrospectively reviewed data in our center 110 subjects. results showed dose was not statistically associated with (HR 1.94, 95%CI 0.85–4.41, p = 0.12), chemotherapy only factor that significantly related 2.3, 1.21–4.35, 0.01). reduction...
We are presenting a case of middle-aged woman with history remote kidney transplantation who had multiple admissions for septic shock-like picture, recurrent fever, and hypotension. Her shock manifestation would resolve after stress dose steroid administration less than 24 hours vasopressor administration. Initially, extensive workup was performed without revealing etiology. Eventually, bone marrow biopsy carried out leading to the diagnosis hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, most likely...
Clinical Features: A middle-aged man with history of kidney transplantation was diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM); he treated cyclophosphamide, bortezomib, and dexamethasone (CyBorD) for induction therapy. However, a repeat bone marrow biopsy after treatment revealed 10% clonal plasma cell involvement. Given residual disease, his regimen changed to daratumumab, in an attempt achieve minimal disease. Therapeutic Challenge: Daratumumab recently approved relapsed or refractory MM; there are no...
Objectives: Hypertension is a risk factor for chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression and mortality. However, the optimal blood pressure associated with decreased mortality in each stage of CKD remains uncertain. Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, we included 13 414 individuals stages 1-4 from NHANES general population datasets 1999 to 2004 followed 31 December 2010. Multivariate analysis Kaplan--Meier curves were used assess SBP factors overall stage. Results: these death rates...
Background and Objective: Coronary artery calcification is a risk marker of atherosclerosis. Recently, large multicenter, prospective observational study showed the CAC density was inversely related to occurrence cardiac vascular events. The proposed hypothesis that low area more prone rupture due lipid core plaque instability. However, high in 125 chronic hemodialysis patients associated with increased mortality. Our aim determine new dialysis patients, role DM progression density. Design,...
