Streptococcus dysgalactiae subsp. (SDSD) is a major cause of bovine mastitis and has been regarded as an animal-restricted pathogen, although rare infections have described in humans. Previous studies revealed the presence virulence genes encoded by phages human pathogen Group A pyogenes (GAS) SDSD isolated from milk udder with mastitis. The isolates VSD5 VSD13 could adhere internalize primary keratinocyte cells, suggesting possible infection potential isolates. In this work, vitro vivo to...
Background and objective Patients with neurogenic bladder (NB) are at a higher risk of developing chronic kidney disease (CKD). Due to their lower muscle mass, the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) based on creatinine (Cr) may be overestimated delay diagnosis renal failure. This study compared eGFR calculated different equations Cr and/or cystatin C (CysC) in children NB, differences between patients mass (underdeveloped limbs) those independent gait (less depletion). Methods We...
Background Gastrointestinal complications are common in kidney transplant (KT) patients and can be a consequence of the chronic use immunosuppression. The differential diagnosis colitis KT includes intolerance to immunosuppressive agents, namely mycophenolate mofetil, de novo inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) opportunistic infections. Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection may cause post-transplant or trigger IBD, although is seldom thought as causative pathogen.
Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients has been described as a risk factor for worse outcomes such peritonitis, technique failure, and mortality. In this study, we aimed to determine the prevalence of MCI population PD identify possible factors associated with MCI.
RESUMO Introdução: A biópsia renal (BR) percutânea é fundamental para diagnóstico e manejo de diversas patologias renais. Dados nacionais sobre BR nativa em pacientes pediátricos são escassos. Nosso objetivo foi revisar características demográficas, clínicas padrões histopatológicos crianças submetidas a ao longo 24 anos. Métodos: Estudo observacional retrospectivo submetidos percutâneas nativas unidade nefrologia pediátrica entre 1998 2021, comparando três períodos: período 1 (1998–2005), 2...
Abstract Background and Aims Glomerulonephritis related to antineutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibodies (ANCA) is typically referred as “pauci-immune”, however, it not unusual for kidney biopsies exhibit some immune complex deposition within glomeruli on electron microscopic study. Such deposits in ANCA-glomerulonephritis have been widely studied, their potential pathologic clinical significance clear, although a possible synergistic effect between complexes ANCA producing more severe...
Abstract Background and Aims Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) -associated vasculitis is the most common cause of rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis a life-threatening condition. The course disease variable prognostication remains challenging. Histological clinical scores have been developed to predict kidney outcomes, tailor treatment. aim this study apply Berden´s histopathological classification (BHC) ANCA renal risk score (ARRS), proposed by Brix co-workers, in cohort...
Abstract BACKGROUND AND AIMS Cognitive dysfunction (CD) in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients has been increasingly described as a risk factor for worse outcomes such peritonitis, technique failure and mortality. Identification of these associated factors is most importance to mitigate consequences. In this study our aims were: (i) determine the presence CD population PD (ii) identify possible with CD. METHOD We performed an observational, cross-sectional evaluate cognitive function using...
Hemodialysis central venous catheter (CVC) insertion can be complicated in patients with anomalous vessel anatomy. In such cases detailed knowledge of thoracic anatomy is necessary to identify the exact location catheter. Central placement under ultrasound control has significantly reduced complications associated blind puncture and allows an appropriate desired vessel, but CVC still get misplaced if it follows route. Herein, we report a case dialysis placed into left sided superior vena...
Abstract Purpose: Patients with neurogenic bladder (NB) have higher risk of developing chronic kidney disease (CKD). Due to their lower muscle mass, the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) using creatinine (Cr) may be overestimated and delay diagnosis renal failure. The study compare eGFR calculated by different formulas based on and/or cystatin C (CysC) in children NB, differences between patients mass (underdeveloped limbs) independent gait (less depletion). Methods: was all...
Abstract Background and Aims Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), may have various underlying causes contributing to kidney disease beyond diabetic nephropathy (DN). In such cases, a biopsy (KB) can provide definite diagnosis allow for tailored treatment options. The aim of this study is evaluate non (NDKD) in T2DM patients identify data support KB indications. Method This retrospective observational that included who were submitted native between 2011 2022. We collected...
Abstract Background and Aims Chronic volume overload is a major contributor to cardiovascular mortality in patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis (HD). Hence, accurately assessing status this population crucial. Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) validated, non-invasive, straightforward bedside technique that estimates total body water (TBW), extracellular (ECW), intracellular (ICW), over hydration (OH). However, it not suitable for use with limb amputation or metallic medical...
