- Anaphylactic reaction induced by a polysulfone/polyvinylpyrrolidone membrane in the 10th session of hemodialysis with the same dialyzer(2011) MARQUES, Igor Denizarde Bacelar; PINHEIRO, Karina Franca; CARMO, Lilian Pires de Freitas do; COSTA, Maristela Carvalho; ABENSUR, HugoThe majority of severe hypersensitivity reactions in hemodialysis patients have occurred due to sensitization to ethylene oxide or to nonbiocompatible membrane dialyzers. The use of polysulfone dialyzers rarely causes hypersensitivity reactions. In the present study, we describe a case of severe life-threatening reactions induced by polysulfone dialyzers (from different manufacturers subjected to a variety of sterilization methods), which occurred after 9 sessions of hemodialysis with the same prescription, exemplifying the complexity of such reactions.

- Protective measures against ultrafiltration failure in peritoneal dialysis patients(2011) AGUIRRE, Anna Rita; ABENSUR, HugoUltrafiltration failure in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis is a condition with an incidence that increases over time. It is related to increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality and is a major cause of the abandonment of the treatment technique. Because the number of patients undergoing renal replacement therapy is increasing with society aging and because approximately 10% of this population is treated with peritoneal dialysis, this matter is becoming more common in everyday practice for clinicians involved in the care of patients with chronic renal failure. In this review, we summarize the available measures used to prevent and treat ultrafiltration failure and the current state of research in the field, both in the experimental and clinical settings, focusing on the possible clinical applications of recent findings.
- NLRP3 inflammasome inhibition ameliorates tubulointerstitial injury in the remnant kidney model(2018) FORESTO-NETO, Orestes; AVILA, Victor Ferreira; ARIAS, Simone Costa Alarcon; ZAMBOM, Fernanda Florencia Fregnan; REMPEL, Lisienny Campoli Tono; FAUSTINO, Viviane Dias; MACHADO, Flavia Gomes; MALHEIROS, Denise Maria Avancini Costa; ABENSUR, Hugo; CAMARA, Niels Olsen Saraiva; ZATZ, Roberto; FUJIHARA, Clarice KazueRecent studies suggest that NLRP3 inflammasome activation is involved in the pathogenesis of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Allopurinol (ALLO) inhibits xanthine oxidase (XOD) activity, and, consequently, reduces the production of uric acid (UA) and reactive oxygen species (ROS), both of which can activate the NLRP3 pathway. Thus, ALLO can contribute to slow the progression of CKD. We investigated whether inhibition of XOD by ALLO reduces NLRP3 activation and renal injury in the 5/6 renal ablation (Nx) model. Adult male Munich-Wistar rats underwent Nx and were subdivided into the following two groups: Nx, receiving vehicle only, and Nx + ALLO, Nx rats given ALLO, 36 mg/Kg/day in drinking water. Rats undergoing sham operation were studied as controls (C). Sixty days after surgery, Nx rats exhibited marked albuminuria, creatinine retention, and hypertension, as well as glomerulosclerosis, tubular injury, and cortical interstitial expansion/inflammation/fibrosis. Such changes were accompanied by increased XOD activity and UA renal levels, associated with augmented heme oxigenase-1 and reduced superoxide dismutase-2 renal contents. Both the NF-kappa B and NLRP3 signaling pathways were activated in Nx. ALLO normalized both XOD activity and the parameters of oxidative stress. ALLO also attenuated hypertension and promoted selective tubulointerstitial protection, reducing urinary NGAL and cortical interstitial injury/inflammation. ALLO reduced renal NLRP3 activation, without interfering with the NF-kappa B pathway. These observations indicate that the tubulointerstitial antiinflammatory and antifibrotic effects of ALLO in the Nx model involve inhibition of the NLRP3 pathway, and reinforce the view that ALLO can contribute to arrest or slow the progression of CKD.

- Early Start Peritoneal Dialysis: Technique Survival in Long-Term Follow-Up(2018) SILVA, Bruno C.; ADELINA, Erica; PEREIRA, Benedito J.; CORDEIRO, Lilian; RODRIGUES, Camila E.; DUARTE, Ricardo J.; ABENSUR, Hugo; ELIAS, Rosilene M.Background/Aims: Peritoneal dialysis (PD) has gained interest over the last decade as a viable option for early start dialysis. It is still unknown if shorter break-in periods and less time for proper patient evaluation and training could influence technique survival in comparison to planned-start PD. Methods: A prospective and observational study that compared technique survival in a cohort of patients who started either early or planned PD. Early start PD was defined as break-in period from 3 to 14 days with no previous nephrologist follow-up or patient training. Results: A total of 154 patients were included (40 as early start PD), followed by a median time of 381 days. Comparing early vs. planned-start PD, groups were similar concerning age 56 (40; 70) vs. 48 (32; 63) years, p=0.071, body mass index (BMI) 23.3 +/- 4.2 vs. 23.8 +/- 4.0 kg/m(2), p=0.567 and male gender (60 vs. 48%, p=0.201), respectively. Comparing early vs. planned-start groups, there were no differences regarding PD dropout for peritonitis (7.5 vs. 11.4%, p=0.764), catheter dysfunction (12.5 vs. 17.5%, p=0.619) and patient burnout (0 vs. 4.4%, p=0.328), respectively. Less patients in early start group quit PD for peritoneal membrane failure in comparison to planned-start group (2.5 vs. 16.7%, p=0.026). In multivariate cox-regression analysis, the only factors independently associated with technique failure were BMI > 25 kg/m(2) (p=0.033) and Diabetes Mellitus (p=0.013), whereas no differences regarding early vs. planned-PD start were observed (p=0.184). Conclusion: Despite the adverse scenario for initiating dialysis, early start PD had similar outcomes in comparison to planned-start PD in long-term follow-up. (C) 2018 The Author(s) Published by S.
