Objectives: Our objectives were to evaluate the long-term renal function after radical cystectomy (RC) and ileal conduit diversion (ICD) and to analyze year-by-year the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and morphologic upper urinary tract changes. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively identified 214 patients who had undergone RC and ICD from 2012 to 2018, with regular postoperative follow-up visits. The eGFR was calculated using the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease equation at baseline and during follow-up. A renal function decrease was defined as a greater than 10 mL/min/1.73 m2 reduction in the estimated glomerular filtration rate. Results: The median follow-up period after RC was 24 months (range, 6-60 months). The median eGFR decreased from 64 mL/min/1.73 m2 (range, 9-125 mL/min/1.73 m2) to 61.5 mL/min/1.73 m2 (range, 8-125 mL/min/1.73 m2). A decline in renal function occurred during the first postoperative years (2.74 mL/ min/1.73 m2 and 3.95 mL/min/1.73 m2 in the first and second year, respectively), with a slight decrease in the subsequent years. The strongest predictor of an eGFR decline was CKD stage 1 or 2 (> 60 mL/min/1.73 m2). Urinary obstruction was diagnosed in 6 patients (2.8%). Among the patients who underwent prompt interventional treatment, we did not find any association with the eGFR decline. Conclusion: Patients with urinary ICD have a lifelong risk of chronic kidney disease. Regular monitoring of renal function and the morphologic upper urinary tract will permit early diagnosis and treatment of modifiable factors, avoiding irreversible kidney damage.

We previously demonstrated a dose-dependent improvement in renal function and reduction in cardiovascular risk in TNT with intensive lipid lowering with atorvastatin (ATV) 80 mg vs 10 mg. This post hoc analysis examines the relationship between the observed improvement in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and reduction of major cardiovascular events (MCVE). After 8 weeks open-label therapy with ATV 10 mg, 10,001 patients with CHD were randomized to double-blind therapy with either ATV 10 or 80 mg. Patients were followed for a median of 4.9 years for the occurrence of MCVEs (CHD death, nonfatal MI, and stroke). The relationship between change from baseline eGFR (using the MDRD equation) at the final visit prior to a MCVE and the risk of MCVE was assessed using a Cox proportional hazards model adjusting for baseline eGFR and other baseline characteristics. Of 9656 patients with complete renal data, 156 had a MCVE before follow-up eGFR assessment and were excluded. In the remaining 9500 patients, mean baseline eGFR was 65.3 mL/min/1.73 m 2 and mean change from baseline was 4.3 mL/min/1.73 m 2 . This represented a reduction in the risk of MCVE of 2.7% per mL increase in eGFR (HR 0.973, 95% CI 0.967– 0.980, P <0.0001). This association remained significant in patients with eGFR <60 and those with eGFR ≥60 mL/min/1.73 m 2 at baseline, with no significant interaction between eGFR change and baseline renal status ( P =0.98). A 5 mL/min on-treatment improvement in eGFR was associated with a 12.6% reduction in MCVE, while a 5 mL/min reduction was associated with a 14.4% increase in MCVE. Mean change from baseline eGFR was 3.5 mL/min/1.73 m 2 with ATV 10 mg and 5.2 mL/min/1.73 m 2 with ATV 80 mg, representing significant 9.3% and 12.4% reductions in risk, respectively. Analysis of interaction between treatment and eGFR change for prediction of MCVE demonstrated a stronger association between eGFR change and MCVE in the ATV 80 mg treatment group ( P =0.011). Improvement in eGFR was highly associated with a reduction in MCVE, irrespective of baseline renal function. This relationship was dose dependent. Improvement in eGFR may be a biomarker for the response to atorvastatin, and for the stabilization of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.

Renal impairment (RI) is common in patients with multiple myeloma (MM) and new therapies that can improve renal function are needed. The Phase 3 IKEMA study (NCT03275285) investigated isatuximab (Isa) with carfilzomib and dexamethasone (Kd) vs Kd in relapsed MM. This subgroup analysis examined results from patients with RI, defined as estimated glomerular filtration rate

Objective The present study aimed to evaluate renal function, complications, and changes in tumor size after transarterial embolization for patients with renal angiomyolipomas. Methods We performed a meta-analysis of transarterial embolization in patients with renal angiomyolipomas from January 1994 to April 2018. Endpoints of interest were the estimated glomerular filtration rate, serum creatinine levels, blood urea nitrogen levels, complications, and reduction of tumors. Results A total of 30 studies comprising 653 patients were included. A total of 32.0% of patients were treated by urgent transarterial embolization for spontaneous ruptured renal angiomyolipomas. Other patients sought to relieve symptoms or received embolism prophylactically. The estimated glomerular filtration rate showed no significant difference between before and after embolization. In 363 patients with data on complications, post-embolization syndrome occurred most frequently (54.0%). Only 16 (4.4%) patients had major complications. The diameter of sporadic angiomyolipomas was reduced by a mean of 2.09 cm (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.73–3.45 cm; I2 = 29.3%) and they were reduced in size by 30.0% (95% CI, 16.0%–44.0%; I2 = 27.9%). Conclusions Transarterial embolization of renal angiomyolipomas affects renal function preservation, with a low complication rate. Transarterial embolization is useful for sporadic and tuberous sclerosis complex-related angiomyolipomas.

Background Differentiating between true and pseudohyperkalaemia is essential for patient management. The common causes of pseudohyperkalaemia include haemolysis, blood cell dyscrasias and EDTA contamination. One approach to differentiate between them is by checking the renal function, as it is believed that true hyperkalaemia is rare with normal function. This is logical, but there is limited published evidence to support it. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential role of the estimated glomerular filtration rate in differentiating true from pseudohyperkalaemia. Methods GP serum potassium results >6.0 mmol/L from 1 January 2017 to 31 December 2017, with a repeat within seven days, were included. Entries were retrospectively classified as true or pseudohyperkalaemia based on the potassium reference change value and reference interval. If the initial sample had a full blood count, it was classified as normal/abnormal to remove blood cell dyscrasias. Different estimated glomerular filtration rate cut-points were used to determine the potential in differentiating true from pseudohyperkalaemia. Results A total of 272 patients were included with potassium results >6.0 mmol/L, with 145 classified as pseudohyperkalaemia. At an estimated glomerular filtration rate of 90 ml/min/1.73 m2, the negative predictive value was 81% (95% CI: 67–90%); this increased to 86% (95% CI: 66–95%) by removing patients with abnormal full blood counts. When only patients with an initial potassium ≥6.5 mmol/L were included (regardless of full blood count), at an estimated glomerular filtration rate of 90 ml/min/1.73 m2, the negative predictive value was 100%. Lower negative predictive values were seen with decreasing estimated glomerular filtration rate cut-points. Conclusion Normal renal function was not associated with true hyperkalaemia, making the estimated glomerular filtration rate a useful tool in predicting true from pseudohyperkalaemia, especially for potassium results ≥6.5 mmol/L.
