Article Synopsis
- * Two adult cases (a mother and daughter) were identified with kidney issues, including kidney hypoplasia and end-stage renal disease (ESRD), leading to the diagnosis of TBS confirmed through genetic testing.
- * A literature review of 44 adult TBS cases revealed that 10 had kidney disease, often diagnosed incidentally or due to complications, suggesting TBS could be more common in adults than previously thought, emphasizing the need for ongoing monitoring.
Article Synopsis
- COVID-19 poses significant risks for patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), with a study showing 5.5% of 2336 dialysis patients diagnosed with the virus.
- Among those followed for over 28 days, 37% experienced severe outcomes and 28% died, with oxygen therapy and decreased lymphocyte counts identified as major risk factors.
- The study noted that chronic use of angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) may protect against mortality, while treatments like azithromycin and hydroxychloroquine showed no benefit for patients with COVID-19.
Background: Pathological features of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) include enlarged kidney volume, higher frequency of digestive diverticulitis and abdominal wall hernias. Therefore, many nephrologists have concerns about the use of peritoneal dialysis (PD) in ADPKD patients. We aimed to analyse survival and technique failure in ADPKD patients treated with PD.

Patients still treated with Epoetine bêta twelve months after their inclusion in DiaNE were eligible for a 24-month extension phase entitled DiaNE 2. Data regarding 439 patients followed during three years, from M0 to M36, were analyzed.

Previous studies implemented between 1996 and 2003 showed that only 35 to 55% the patients reach this target. Dialysis NeoRecormon Epidemiology (DiaNE) is a one-year French multicentric observational study designed to follow a cohort of 1200 patients with ESRD treated with epoetin beta to assess the management of anemia in routine nephrologic practice.

Methods: By case-control study we examined the clinical and biologic features of 5 patients with icodextrin-induced peritonitis (group AP) and compared them with 7 patients with bacterial peritonitis (group BP) recruited in our clinical center between January and June 2002.
Results: Diagnosis of icodextrin-induced peritonitis was confirmed in all cases by a positive reintroduction test with contaminated batches of icodextrin.
Optimal anticoagulation strategy in haemodialysis with heparin-coated polyacrylonitrile membrane.
Nephrol Dial Transplant
October 2003
Background: Binding of polycationic unfractionated heparin onto the modified AN69 polyacrylonitrile membrane, whose surface electronegativity has been neutralized by layering polyethyleneimine (AN69ST), produces stable coating. We investigated whether the heparin-coated membrane was suitable for regular haemodialysis with low heparin doses.
Methods: Sheep were instrumented for extracorporeal circulation perfusing a dialyser equipped with either the AN69ST or the original AN69 membrane.
