Functional activity of peritoneal macrophages of 50 patients with end-stage renal failure on intermittent peritoneal dialysis (IPD) and of 30 control subjects with normal renal function was determined. Phagocytosis of latex particles by macrophages of dialyzed patients was significantly lower as compared with the controls. Further depression of the phagocytic activity was observed during bacterial peritonitis. Macrophages from the dialyzed patients also showed nonsignificantly decreased functional expression of Fc receptors (FcR) and increased spontaneous nitro blue tetrazolium (NeT) reduction.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a multifactorial syndrome and a global health concern. As renal function declines, there is a progressive deterioration of mineral homeostasis. Starting from stage 3 of CKD oral manifestations of mineral disorders can occasionally appear and become more frequent and evident in stage 5. We retrospectively analysed 43 patients diagnosed with end stage renal failure undergoing dialysis, hospitalized in our clinic for different oral and maxillofacial pathologies. The mean dialysis period was 5.43 years. Radiographic alterations afecting the jaws were found in all patients. The most common feature was partial or total loss of lamina dura, followed by alterations of the bony trabeculae. 9 patients presented brown tumors which are considered the final stage of secondary hyperparathyroidism associated with renal failure.

Anaemia, hypoproteinaemia and acidic pH in renal failure patients can alter the pharmacokinetics and pharmaco-dynamics of anaesthetic agents, resulting in altered dose requirements. We evaluated the induction dose of propofol in adult patients with end-stage renal disease by titrating the hypnotic effect by means of a clinical parameter as well as using a more objective assessment of hypnosis, the Bispectral Index (BIS) monitor. The dose was compared with that for patients with normal renal function. Propofol doses that provided the clinical end-point of hypnosis (syringe drop method), as well as the end-point of a mean (SD) BIS value of 50 (5), were evaluated in 27 end-stage renal disease and 27 normal renal function patients. Propofol was administered at 0.2mg/kg every 15 seconds until these end-points were achieved. End-stage renal disease patients required significantly higher propofol doses to achieve the clinical end-point of hypnosis (1.42 (0.24) mg/kg versus 0.89 (0.2) mg/kg in normal renal function patients, P<0.05 unpaired “t” test). Propofol dose required to achieve a BIS of 50 (5) was also higher in end-stage renal disease patients (2.03 (0.4) mg/kg versus 1.39 (0.43) mg/kg in normal renal function patients, P<0.05). There was a significant negative correlation of propofol dose with preoperative haemoglobin concentration. A hyperdynamic circulation in renal failure patients with anaemia may be responsible for the higher propofol dose requirement in this group.

SummaryRecently, hirudin was used for the first time as an anticoagulant during hemodialysis in men. Pharmacokinetic data of this compound in end-stage renal failure are however not available. In this study, the pharmacokinetics of recombinant hirudin (HBW 023) was evaluated in hemodialysis-treated end-stage renal failure patients. HBW 023 was administered as a bolus at the start of a single dialysis (0.02 to 0.08 mg/kg) in 20 patients, and plasma hirudin levels were followed during this and the 5 following dialyses, without additional hirudin administration. The initial dialysis (HDj) was performed with a low flux polysulfone dialyzer; the following dialyses (up to HD6) with a high flux polysulfone dialyzer and regular heparin. Hirudin levels averaged 504.0 ± 214.0 and 527.7 ± 217.1 ng/ml in the middle and at the end of HDj, and then gradually decreased to 15.2 ± 15.2 ng/ml at the end of HD6. Pharmacokinetic data were compared to those obtained in healthy controls (n = 5), receiving the same dose, and reaching the same peak hirudin level. Hirudin half-life was >30 times longer in hemodialysis patients (51.8 ± 15.6 vs. 1.7 ± 1.5 h, p <0.001), whereas area under the curve was >60 times higher (34,669 ± 14,898 vs. 545 ± 205 ng/ml X h, p <0.001). Distribution volume was lower in hemodialysis patients (11.0 ± 3.1 vs. 14.1 ± 2.0 1, p <0.05). Hirudin disappearance rate was the same during high flux polysulfone dialysis as during interdialytic periods. Hirudin removal was markedly higher in those patients still maintaining some residual renal function and parameters of hirudin removal were significantly correlated to residual creatinine clearance. It is concluded that hirudin removal from the body is markedly depressed in hemodialyzed end-stage renal failure patients and that even minor residual renal function may increase this removal rate.

We describe a patient with idiopathic membranous glomerulopathy who developed acute deterioration in renal function; this was associated with hemoptysis, severe hypertension, and anti-glomerular basement membrane (anti-GBM) antibody in the serum. Despite aggressive therapy with plasmapheresis, cyclophosphamide and prednisone, the patient progressed to end-stage renal failure and is on maintenance hemodialysis.
