Abstract

Thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) reflects a syndrome of endothelial injury characterised by microangiopathic haemolytic anaemia (nonimmune), thrombocytopenia, and often end-organ dysfunction. TMA disorders are well-recognised in kidney transplant recipients, often due to an underlying genetic predisposition related to complement dysregulation, or de novo due to infection, immunosuppression toxicity, or antibody-mediated rejection. In pregnancy, TMA disorders are most commonly due to severe pre-eclampsia or HELLP, but may also be due to thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) or complement-mediated (atypical) haemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS). Complement dysregulation is being recognised as playing a role in the development of preeclampsia and HELLP syndrome in addition to aHUS. Due to overlapping clinical and laboratory features, diagnosis can be difficult and delays in treatment can be life-threatening for both mother and fetus. This report describes a 32 year-old female who had two successive wanted pregnancies. The first pregnancy was terminated at 22 weeks gestation due to presumed severe preeclampsia and fetal growth restriction in the context of known chronic kidney failure due to reflux nephropathy. A living-related kidney transplant was performed to improve the chances of pregnancy resulting in a live birth. A subsequent pregnancy was complicated by progressive kidney impairment and hypertension at 22 weeks gestation. Kidney biopsy showed TMA, but the etiology was unclear. This report highlights the diagnostic dilemma of TMA in a pregnant kidney transplant recipient and a role for the anti-C5 terminal complement blockade monoclonal antibody eculizumab, in pregnancy-associated TMA, especially at a peri-viable gestation.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Measuring temperature has always been a key observation in the diagnosis of infection. No studies have examined the usefulness of measuring temperature at the wrist to detect infection. AIM: We sought to determine whether a watch measuring wrist temperature could accurately identify patients who are infected. METHODS: Prospective cross-sectional pilot study of temperature monitoring in an unselected patients in a tertiary referral adult nephrology unit. RESULTS: One hundred and four data recording sessions revealed 88 useful data sets, with recording failures in the others. Patients were retrospectively classified as having no infection (Group A, n = 60), clinically diagnosed infection with less than 24 h of treatment with antibiotics (Group B, n = 5), and clinically diagnosed infection with greater than 24 h on antibiotics (Group C, n = 23). There was a significantly higher average maximum temperature in Group B (mean (SEM)) 38°C (0.6) compared with Groups A (36.1°C (0.1)) and C (36.3°C (0.3)). Based on receiver operating characteristics (ROC) a cut-off temperature of ≥37.5°C gave sensitivity 80% and specificity 98%. Mean electrodermal activity was significantly higher in Groups B and C. CONCLUSIONS: ROC of peripheral skin temperature measurements suggest that such a device may identify many patients requiring treatment for infection. This proof of principle study showed value in using a wearable device in the detection of infection and its potential as an early warning or monitoring device.

Abstract

Aim: Percutaneous renal biopsy is often essential for providing reliable diagnostic and prognostic information for people with suspected kidney disease, however the procedure can lead to complications and concerns among patients. This study aims to identify and integrate patient priorities and perspectives into the Kidney Health Australia - Caring for Australasians with Renal Impairment clinical practice guidelines for renal biopsy, to ensure patient-relevance. Method(s): We convened a workshop, consisting of three simultaneous focus groups and a plenary session, with 10 patients who had undergone a renal biopsy and seven caregivers. Topics and outcomes prioritized by patients and their caregivers were compared to those identified by the guideline working group, which was comprised of seven nephrologists. Transcripts and flipcharts were analyzed thematically to identify the reasons for participants' choices. Result(s): In total, 34 topics/outcomes were identified, 14 of which were common to the list of 28 previously identified by the guideline working group. Most of the new topics identified by patients/caregivers were related to communication and education, psychosocial support, and self-management. We identified five themes underpinning the reasons for topic and outcome selection: alleviating anxiety and unnecessary distress, minimizing discomfort and disruption, supporting family and caregivers, enabling self-management, and protecting their kidney. A new topic on patient care and education was added to the guideline as a result. Conclusion(s): Patient and caregiver involvement in developing guidelines on renal biopsy ensured that their concerns and needs for education, psychosocial support, and self-management were explicitly addressed; enabling a patient-centred approach to renal biopsies.Copyright © 2018 Asian Pacific Society of Nephrology

Abstract

Background: Although inhibitors of the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system can slow the progression of diabetic kidney disease, the residual risk is high. Whether nuclear 1 factor (erythroid-derived 2)–related factor 2 activators further reduce this risk is unknown. Methods: We randomly assigned 2185 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and stage 4 chronic kidney disease (estimated glomerular filtration rate [GFR], 15 to < 30 ml per minute per 1.73 m2 of body-surface area) to bardoxolone methyl, at a daily dose of 20 mg, or placebo. The primary composite outcome was end-stage renal disease (ESRD) or death from cardiovascular causes. Results: The sponsor and the steering committee terminated the trial on the recommendation of the independent data and safety monitoring committee; the median follow-up was 9 months. A total of 69 of 1088 patients (6%) randomly assigned to bardoxolone methyl and 69 of 1097 (6%) randomly assigned to placebo had a primary composite outcome (hazard ratio in the bardoxolone methyl group vs. the placebo group, 0.98; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.70 to 1.37; P=0.92). In the bardoxolone methyl group, ESRD developed in 43 patients, and 27 patients died from cardiovascular causes; in the placebo group, ESRD developed in 51 patients, and 19 patients died from cardiovascular causes. A total of 96 patients in the bardoxolone methyl group were hospitalized for heart failure or died from heart failure, as compared with 55 in the placebo group (hazard ratio, 1.83; 95% CI, 1.32 to 2.55; P < 0.001). Estimated GFR, blood pressure, and the urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio increased significantly and body weight decreased significantly in the bardoxolone methyl group, as compared with the placebo group. Conclusions: Among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and stage 4 chronic kidney disease, bardoxolone methyl did not reduce the risk of ESRD or death from cardiovascular causes. A higher rate of cardiovascular events with bardoxolone methyl than with placebo prompted termination of the trial. (Funded by Reata Pharmaceuticals; BEACON ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT01351675.)
