- Parathyroidectomy after kidney transplantation: short- and long-term impact on renal function(2011) FERREIRA, Gustavo Fernandes; MONTENEGRO, Fabio Luiz de Menezes; MACHADO, David Jose; IANHEZ, Luiz Estevam; NAHAS, William Carlos; DAVID-NETO, EliasINTRODUCTION: Kidney transplantation corrects endocrine imbalances. Nevertheless, these early favorable events are not always followed by rapid normalization of parathyroid hormone secretion. A possible deleterious effect of parathyroidectomy on kidney transplant function has been reported. This study aimed to compare acute and long-term renal changes after total parathyroidectomy with those occurring after general surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This was a retrospective case-controlled study. Nineteen patients with persistent hyperparathyroidism underwent parathyroidectomy due to hypercalcemia. The control group included 19 patients undergoing various general and urological operations. RESULTS: In the parathyroidectomy group, a significant increase in serum creatinine from 1.58 to 2.29 mg/dl (P < 0.05) was noted within the first 5 days after parathyroidectomy. In the control group, a statistically insignificant increase in serum creatinine from 1.49 to 1.65 mg/dl occurred over the same time period. The long-term mean serum creatinine level was not statistically different from baseline either in the parathyroidectomy group (final follow-up creatinine = 1.91 mg/dL) or in the non-parathyroidectomy group (final follow-up creatinine = 1.72 mg/dL). CONCLUSION: Although renal function deteriorates in the acute period following parathyroidectomy, long-term stabilization occurs, with renal function similar to both preoperative function and to a control group of kidney-transplanted patients who underwent other general surgical operations by the final follow up.
- Non-Human Leukocyte Antigen Antibodies Reactive with Endothelial Cells Could Be Involved in Early Loss of Renal Allografts(2011) RONDA, C.; BORBA, S. C. P.; FERREIRA, S. C. P.; GLOTZ, D.; IANHEZ, L. E.; RODRIGUES, H.; VIGGIANI, C. S.; NAHAS, W.; DAVID-NETO, E.; CASTRO, M. C. R.; DAISA, S. R. David; KALIL, J.; PANAJOTOPOULOS, N.Preformed donor-specific human leukocyte antigen (HLA) antibodies have been associated with allograft dysfunction and failure. However, recipients of HLA-identical kidneys can develop acute humoral rejection, implicating putative pathogenic antibodies that are directed against non-HLA antigens. We investigated the presence of endothelial cell reactive antibodies in 11 patients who experienced early loss of their transplanted kidneys owing to humoral rejection and 1 loss from renal venal thrombosis. We examined the potential efficacy of intravenous immunoglobulin to block the binding of these antibodies, as previously suggested for anti-HLA antibodies.
- Endemic and opportunistic infections in Brazilian solid organ transplant recipients(2011) BATISTA, M. V.; PIERROTTI, L. C.; ABDALA, E.; CLEMENTE, W. T.; GIRAO, E. S.; ROSA, D. R. T.; IANHEZ, L. E.; BONAZZI, P. R.; LIMA, A. S.; FERNANDES, P. F. C. B. C.; PADUA-NETO, M. V.; BACCHELLA, T.; OLIVEIRA, A. P. P.; VIANA, C. F. G.; FERREIRA, M. S.; SHIKANAI-YASUDA, M. A.OBJECTIVE To evaluate the frequency and clinical features of endemic and other opportunistic infections in liver or kidney transplant recipients in four transplant centres in different geographical areas of Brazil. METHODS Retrospective analysis of medical and laboratory records of four transplant centres on endemic and other opportunistic infections in liver or kidney transplant recipients. Analyses were performed with spss statistical software. RESULTS From 2001 to 2006, 1046 kidney and 708 liver transplants were registered in all centres. The average age was 42 years. Among 82 (4.7%) cases with infections, the most frequent was tuberculosis (2.0%), followed by systemic protozoal infections (0.7%), toxoplasmosis (0.4%) and visceral leishmaniasis (0.3%). Systemic fungal infections occurred in 0.6%, of which 0.4% were cryptococcosis and 0.2% were histoplasmosis. Dengue was the only systemic viral infection and was registered in two cases (0.1%), of which one was classified as the classic form and the other as dengue haemorrhagic fever. Nocardiosis was described in one case (0.05%). The infectious agents most frequently associated with diarrhoea were Blastocystis sp., Schistosoma mansoni and Strongyloides stercoralis. CONCLUSIONS Opportunistic Infections in transplant patients have a wide spectrum and may vary from asymptomatic to severe infections with high mortality. A better understanding of the epidemiology of endemic pathogens and clinical manifestations can contribute to the establishment of an early diagnosis as well as correct treatment aimed at decreasing morbidity and mortality.
- Protective Effect of N-acetylcysteine on Early Outcomes of Deceased Renal Transplantation(2011) DANILOVIC, A.; LUCON, A. M.; SROUGI, M.; SHIMIZU, M. H. M.; IANHEZ, L. E.; NAHAS, W. C.; SEGURO, A. C.We investigated the effects of the antioxidant N-acetylcysteine (NAC) on early outcomes of deceased donor renal transplantation. Between April 2005 and June 2008, adult primary graft recipients of deceased renal donors were assigned to treatment (n = 38) or control (n = 36) groups and evaluated for 90 days and one year after renal transplantation. The treatment group received NAC orally (600 mg twice daily) from day 0 to 7 postoperatively. Renal function was determined by serum creatinine, MDRD and Cockcroft-Gault estimated GFR (eGFR), delayed graft function (DGF) and dialysis free Kaplan-Meier estimate curve. Serum levels of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), were employed as markers of oxidative stress. The NAC group displayed a lower mean serum creatinine during the first 90 days (P = .026) and at 1 year after transplantation (P = .005). Furthermore, the NAC group showed a higher mean eGFR throughout the first 90 days and at 1 year. DGF was lower among the NAC group (P = .017) and these recipients required fewer days of dialysis (P = .012). Oxidative stress was significantly attenuated with NAC (P < .001). Our results suggested that NAC enhanced early outcomes of deceased donor renal transplantation by attenuating oxidative stress.
article 5 Citação(ões) na Scopus Transitory increase in creatinine levels after parathyroidectomy: evidence of another action of the parathyroid glands?(2011) MONTENEGRO, Fabio M.; BRANDAO, Lenine G.; FERREIRA, Gustavo F.; LOURENCO JR., Delmar M.; MARTIN, Regina M.; CUNHA-NETO, Malebranche B.; HELOU, Claudia B.; TOLEDO, Sergio A.; CORDEIRO, Anoi C.; IANHEZ, Luiz E.Objective: Little information is available on glomerular function changes after surgical treatment of primary hyperparathyroidism. The acute effects of some head and neck operations on renal function were studied. Materials and methods: Retrospective analysis of changes in creatinine levels and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) after surgery. Preoperative values were compared with values available until 72 hours after the operation. Results: In tertiary hyperparathyroidism, mean preoperative and postoperative eGFR values were 57.7 mL/min and 40.8 mL/min (p < 0.0001), respectively. A similar decrease was observed after parathyroidectomy for primary hyperparathyroidism, from 85.4 mL/min to 64.3 mL/min (p < 0.0001). After major head and neck procedures, there was a slight increase in eGFR (from 94.3 mL/min to 105.4 mL/min, p = 0.002). Conclusions: Parathyroidectomy may be followed by a transient decrease in eGFR that is not often observed in other head and neck operations. Arq Bras Endocrinol Metab. 2011;55(4):249-55
