Percutaneous Ultrasound-Guided Kidney Transplant Biopsy Outcomes: From the Nephrologist to the Radiologist Standpoint.

Project description:BackgroundKidney transplant biopsies are the gold standard for evaluating allograft dysfunction. These biopsies are performed by nephrologists and radiologists under real-time ultrasound guidance. A few studies have examined the outcomes of ultrasound-guided kidney transplant biopsy in transplant recipients; however, none have compared these outcomes between both specialties.MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed a cohort of 678 biopsies performed in a single center during a 44-month study period. Biopsies were stratified into two groups based upon the specialist performing the procedure: interventional radiology (IR; N=447) and transplant nephrology (TN; N=231).ResultsThere were 55 (8%) complications related to biopsies in the entire cohort: 37 (8.2%) in the IR group and 18 (7.7%) in the TN group, without statistical difference between the groups (P=0.94). Blood pressure control and prior use of anticoagulation were significant predictors of complicated biopsies (P=0.004 and 0.02, respectively). Being a woman and prior use of anticoagulation were significant predictors of transfusion of blood products (P=0.01 and 0.01, respectively). Being a woman and blood pressure control were significant predictors of overall perinephric hematoma (P=0.01 and 0.01, respectively), and Black race was a significant predictor of perinephric hematoma without worsening of renal function (P=0.005). The specialist team performing the procedure was not a statistically significant predictor of biopsy complications, transfusion of blood products, or perinephric hematoma with comparable sample yield.ConclusionsPercutaneous ultrasound-guided kidney transplant biopsy performed by transplant nephrologists have similar complication rates when compared with interventional radiologists in an academic center.

Lessons for the clinical nephrologist: recurrence of nephrotic syndrome induced by SARS-CoV-2.

Project description:SARS-CoV-2 is characterized by a multiorgan tropism including the kidneys. Recent autopsy series indicated that SARS-CoV-2 can infect both tubular and glomerular cells. Whereas tubular cell infiltration may contribute to acute kidney injury, data on a potential clinical correlative to glomerular affection is rare. We describe the first case of nephrotic syndrome in the context of COVID-19 in a renal transplant recipient. A 35 year old male patient received a kidney allograft for primary focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). Three months posttransplant a recurrence of podocytopathy was successfully managed by plasma exchange, ivIG, and a conversion from tacrolimus to belatacept (initial proteinuria > 6 g/l decreased to 169 mg/l). Six weeks later he was tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 and developed a second increase of proteinuria (5.6 g/l). Renal allograft biopsy revealed diffuse podocyte effacement and was positive for SARS-CoV-2 in RNA in-situ hybridation indicating a SARS-CoV-2 associated recurrence of podocytopathy. Noteworthy, nephrotic proteinuria resolved spontaneously after recovering from COVID-19. The present case expands the spectrum of renal involvement in COVID-19 from acute tubular injury to podocytopathy in renal transplant recipients. Thus, it may be wise to test for SARS-CoV-2 prior to initiation of immunosuppression in new onset glomerulopathy during the pandemic.

Ureteric stent versus percutaneous nephrostomy for acute ureteral obstruction - clinical outcome and quality of life: a bi-center prospective study.

Project description:BackgroundTo compare quality of life (QoL) indices between ureteral stent (DJS) and nephrostomy tube (PCN) inserted in the setting of acute ureteral obstruction.MethodsProspective bi-centered study. Over the span of 2 years, 45 DJS and 30 PCN patients were recruited. Quality of life was assessed by 2 questionnaires, EuroQol EQ-5D and 'Tube symptoms' questionnaire, at 2 time points (at discharge after drainage and before definitive treatment).ResultsPatients' demographics and pre-drainage data were similar. There were no clinically significant differences in patient's recovery between the groups, including post procedural pain, defeverence, returning to baseline renal function, and septic shock complications. More DJS patients presented to the emergency room with complaints related to their procedure compared to PCN patients. At first, DJS patients complained more of urinary discomfort while PCN patients had worse symptoms relating to mobility and personal hygiene, with both groups achieving similar overall QoL score. At second time point, PCN patients' symptoms ameliorated while symptoms in the DJS group remained similar, translating to higher overall QoL score in the PCN group.ConclusionsThe two techniques had a distinct and significantly different impact on quality of life. Over time, PCN patients' symptoms relieve and their QoL improve, while DJS patients' symptoms persist. Specific tube related symptoms, and their dynamics over time, should be a major determinant in choosing the appropriate drainage method, especially when definitive treatment is not imminent.

The Effect of Arabic Gum on Renal Function in Reversible Unilateral Ureteric Obstruction.

Project description:Arabic gum (AG) has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. However, the effect of AG in ureteric obstruction (UO) has not been investigated yet. Male rats underwent reversible left unilateral UO (UUO) for 72 h. Group AG-1 (n = 12) received AG 15 g/kg/day dissolved in drinking water starting seven days before and continuing throughout the period of the UUO, whereas group Vx-1 (n = 8) had only water. Group AG-2 (n = 12) and Vx-2 (n = 8) had similar protocols as AG-1 and Vx-1, respectively, but underwent terminal experiments to measure renal functions, six days post-UUO reversal. Arabic gum significantly attenuated the UUO-induced increase in the tissue level of malonedialdehyde and superoxide dismutase and the rise in the gene expression of TNF-?, TGF-?1, and p53 in AG-1 compared to Vx-1. It also attenuated the severity of tubular dilatation. However, AG did not affect the alterations in the renal blood flow or glomerular filtration rate. The fractional sodium excretion was lower in AG-2 but did not reach statistical significance (0.40 ± 0.11 vs 0.74 ± 0.12, p = 0.07). AG attenuated the UUO-induced rise in oxidative stress markers and proinflammatory and profibrotic cytokines and the degree of renal tubular dilatation, indicating a protective effect in obstructive nephropathy.
