- Coronary events in obese hemodialysis patients before and after renal transplantation(2015) LIMA, Jose Jayme G. De; GOWDAK, Luis Henrique W.; PAULA, Flavio J. de; MUELA, Henrique Cotchi S.; DAVID-NETO, Elias; BORTOLOTTO, Luiz A.We examined the impact of obesity (BMI 30 kg/m(2), n = 357) on prognosis in 1696 hemodialysis (HD) patients before and after renal transplantation (TX). End-points were coronary events, composite cardiovascular (CV) events, and death. Obese HD patients were older (55.9 +/- 9.2 vs. 54.2 +/- 11), had more diabetes (54% vs. 40%), dyslipidemia (49% vs. 30%), altered myocardial scan (38% vs. 31%), myocardial infarction (MI) (16% vs. 10%), coronary intervention (11% vs. 7%), higher total cholesterol (186 +/- 52 vs. 169 +/- 47), and triglycerides (219 +/- 167 vs. 144 +/- 91). Obese undergoing TX had more dyslipidemia (46% vs. 31%), angina (23% vs. 14%), MI (18% vs. 5%), increased total cholesterol (185 +/- 56 vs. 172 +/- 48), and triglycerides (237 +/- 190 vs. 149 +/- 100). Obesity was independently associated with coronary events (log-rank = 0.008, HR 2.55% CI 1.27-5.11) and death (log-rank 0.046, HR 1.52, % CI 1.007-2.30) in TX but not in HD. Obese HD patients had more risk factors and ischemic heart disease, but these characteristics did not interfere with prognosis. In TX patients, obesity predicts coronary events and death.
- Cardiovascular risk reduction with periodontal treatment in patients on the waiting list for renal transplantation(2019) SANTOS-PAUL, Marcela A.; NEVES, Ricardo Simoes; GOWDAK, Luis Henrique W.; PAULA, Flayio J. de; DAVID-NETO, Elias; BORTOLOTTO, Luiz A.; RAMIRES, Jose Antonio F.; LIMA, Jose Jayme G. DeBackground Cardiovascular mortality is increased in chronic kidney disease, a condition with a high prevalence of periodontal disease. Whether periodontitis treatment improves prognosis is unknown. Methods The effect of periodontal treatment on the incidence of cardiovascular events and death in 206 waitlist hemodialysis subjects was compared with that in 203 historical controls who did not undergo treatment. Patients were followed up for 24 months or until death or transplantation. Results The prevalence of moderate/severe periodontitis was 74%. Coronary artery disease correlated with the severity of periodontal disease (P = .02). Survival free of cardiovascular events (94% vs 83%, log-rank 0.009), coronary events (97% vs 89%, log-rank = 0.009), and cardiovascular death (96% vs 87%, log-rank = 0.037) was higher in the evaluated group. Death by any cause did not differ between groups. Multivariate analysis showed that treatment was associated with reduction in cardiovascular events (HR 0.43; 95% CI 0.22-0.87), coronary events (HR 0.31; 95% CI 0.12-0.83), and cardiovascular deaths (HR 0.43; 95% CI 0.19-0.98). Conclusion Periodontal treatment reduced the 24-month incidence of cardiovascular events and cardiovascular death, suggesting that periodontal treatment may improve cardiovascular outcomes. We suggest that periodontal screening and eventual treatment may be considered in patients with advanced renal disease.
- Which patients are more likely to benefit from renal transplantation?(2012) LIMA, Jose Jayme Galvao De; GOWDAK, Luis Henrique Wolff; PAULA, Flavio Jota de; CESAR, Luiz Antonio Machado; RAMIRES, Jose Antonio Franchini; BORTOLOTTO, Luiz A.Background: We evaluated whether the advantages conferred by renal transplantation encompass all individuals or whether they favor more specific groups of patients. Methods: One thousand and fifty-eight patients on the transplant waiting list and 270 receiving renal transplant were studied. End points were the composite incidence of CV events and death. Patients were followed up from date of placement on the list until transplantation, CV event, or death (dialysis patients), or from the date of transplantation, CV event, return to dialysis, or death (transplant patients). Results: Younger patients with no comorbidities had a lower incidence of CV events and death independently of the treatment modality (log-rank = 0.0001). Renal transplantation was associated with better prognosis only in high-risk patients (p = 0.003). Conclusions: Age and comorbidities influenced the prevalence of CV complications and death independently of the treatment modality. A positive effect of renal transplantation was documented only in high-risk patients. These findings suggest that age and comorbidities should be considered indication for early transplantation even considering that, as a group, such patients have a shorter survival compared with low-risk individuals.
