Item type:Publication, Hypomagnesemia and cause-specific mortality in hemodialysis patients: 5-year follow-up analysis(SAGE Publications, 2017-10-13); ; ; The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate the association between serum magnesium (Mg) and mortality, in particular the cause-specific mortality of Mg and other risk factors in hemodialysis (HD) patients. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, The Effect of Treatment on Short-Term Outcomes in Elderly Patients with Acute Kidney Injury(Scientific Foundation SPIROSKI, 2017-08-15); ; ; ; Elderly population (≥ 65) are more prone to develop acute kidney injury (AKI) compared to younger, also elderly with AKI have an increased requirement for dialysis treatment and an elevated risk of short-term and long-term mortality. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Emphysematous pyelonephritis and sepsis in a diabetic female patient caused by extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli – case report(Slovenian Medical Association, 2023-07-13); ; ; ; <jats:p>Emphysematous pyelonephritis (EPN) is a rare, severe, spontaneous gas-forming infection of renal parenchyma and its surrounding areas. EPN was detected in diabetic patients. A 49-year-old female with type I diabetes mellitus presented with severe thrombocytopenia, acute kidney injury (AKI) and was in need of haemodialysis treatment. She had impaired liver function tests, with active urine sediment, indicating severe upper urinary tract infection with suspected sepsis. The contrast enhanced CT scan of the abdomen showed multiple areas of air density in renal parenchyma and perirenal regions, suggestive of left-side EPN. The blood and urine cultures reported growth of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) producing Escherichia coli. The final diagnosis of emphysematous pyelonephritis complicated with severe sepsis and AKI was established. The patient was managed conservatively with wide-spectrum antibiotics, fluid resuscitation, consistent blood sugar control, and haemodialysis treatment. Percutaneous drainage techniques (PCD) and nephrectomy were postponed because of the initial clinical response to the antibiotics treatment. However, the patient experienced sudden clinical deterioration and died only a few hours after the established diagnosis. An autopsy was not performed upon the patient’s family’s request. EPN should be highly suspected in poorly controlled diabetic patients with urinary tract infection and should be promptly recognized and aggressively treated. The patients with multiple risk factors had high mortality, even with timely diagnosis and combined (conservative and surgical) treatment.</jats:p> - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Carnitine Palmitoyltransferase II Deficiency (CPT II) Followed By Rhabdomyolysis and Acute Kidney Injury(Scientific Foundation SPIROSKI, 2018-04-15); ; ; ; Carnitine palmitoyltransferase II deficiency (CPT II) is an autosomal recessive disorder and the most common inherited disorder of mitochondrial long-chain fatty acid oxidation, characterised by attacks of myalgia and myoglobinuria. The most common "classic" myopathic form occurs in young adults and is characterised by recurrent episodes of rhabdomyolysis triggered by prolonged exercise, fasting or febrile illness. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Uric acid and left ventricular hypertrophy: another relationship in hemodialysis patients(Oxford Academic, 2019-12-22); ; Background The impact of serum uric acid (UA) on morbidity and mortality in hemodialysis (HD) patients is quite controversial in relation to the general population. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of serum UA with both mortality and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in HD patients. Methods This longitudinal study enrolled 225 prevalent HD patients who were classified into three groups according to their follow-up-averaged UA (FA-UA) levels: low FA-UA (FA-UA <400 µmol/L), intermediate/reference FA-UA (FA-UA between 400 and 450 µmol/L) and high FA-UA (FA-UA >450 µmol/L). Echocardiography was performed on a nondialysis day and the presence of LVH was defined based on a left ventricular mass index (LVMI) >131 and >100 g/m2 for men and women, respectively. The patients were followed during a 60-month period. Results The mean FA-UA level was 425 ± 59 µmol/L (range 294–620). There was a consistent association of higher FA-UA with better nutritional status (higher body mass index, normalized protein catabolic rate, creatinine, albumin and phosphorus), higher hemoglobin, but lower C-reactive protein and LVMI. During the 5-year follow-up, 81 patients died (36%) and the main causes of death were cardiovascular (CV) related (70%). When compared with the reference group, the hazard ratio for all-cause mortality was 1.75 [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.02–2.98; P = 0.041] in the low FA-UA group, but there was no significant association with the high FA-UA group. In contrast, FA-UA did not show an association with CV mortality neither with the lower nor with the high FA-UA group. The unadjusted odds ratio (OR) of LVH risk in the low FA-UA compared with the reference FA-UA group was 3.11 (95% CI 1.38–7.05; P = 0.006), and after adjustment for age, gender, diabetes and CV disease, ORs for LVH persisted significantly only in the low FA-UA group [OR 2.82 (95% CI 1.16–6.88,); P = 0.002]. Conclusions Low serum UA is a mortality risk factor and is associated with LVH in HD patients. These results are in contrast with the association of UA in the general population and should be the subject of further research. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
