Objective To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of reduced glutathione in the treatment of acute renal failure. Methods Twenty-three patients with acute renal failure were divided into the treatment group (n=10) and the control group (n=13) by simple randomisation. Patients in the treatment group received intravenous reduced glutathione 1200 mg daily. Patients in the control group were not treated with reduced glutathione. The therapeutic course for both groups was 4 weeks. Serum creatinine and urea nitrogen were determined before treatment as well as at the end of each of the 4 weeks. Proximal and distal renal tubular functions were evaluated at the end of the treatment. The time when clinical symptoms were improved was recorded and adverse drug reactions were monitored. Results The durations of nausea and vomiting as well as the oliguria stage were shorter in the treatment group than in the control group. The serum creatinine level in the treatment group decreased more markedly than that in the control group. At the end of the treatment, the renal tubular function was better in the treatment group than in the control group. Conclusion Reduced glutathione contributes to the early recovery of renal function in patients with acute renal failure. However, more high-quality and large-scale randomized controlled trials are needed.
ObjectiveTo analyze and identify the pathogenic mutation that caused a case of child’s renal coloboma syndrome (RCS).MethodsA child with congenital cataract in the right eye and optic disc defect in the left eye and his parents with normal phenotype were included in the study. The blood of the child and his parents were captured to extract DNA and make molecular test. The possible variants were screened through NGS sequencing using the ophthalmology gene panel on illumina NextSeq 500 platform, and proved the selected PAX2 mutation by Sanger sequencing. Pathogenicity report was retrieved through PubMed and related database. Pathogenicity analysis of the candidate mutated site has careful consideration of the patient’s clinical presentations and sequencing result base on Standards and Guidelines for the Interpretation of Sequence Variants revised by ACMG. According to the results of gene diagnosis, the child was executed related clinical examinations on kidney.ResultsThe sequence result showed that a heterozygous mutation in PAX2, c.70dupG (p.V26Gfs*28), which lead to truncated protein product that terminated after 28 amino acids of the mutated site. Both of his normal parents were not carriers of the heterozygous mutation. Sanger sequencing results of the child and his parents were consistent with the NGS sequencing. The autosomal dominant disease phenotype was inferred to be caused by the heterozygous mutation of c.70dupG (p.V26Gfs*28) of PAX2 gene. Renal color Doppler ultrasound results showed the child with small renal cysts on the left and mildly separated collecting system. Renal function tests showed the child with α1 microglobulin index increased.ConclusionThe heterozygous mutation c.70dupG (p.V26Gfs*28) in PAX2 is the genetic pathogenic cause for the patient with RCS.
Objective By means of evidence-based clinical practice, to find more effective treatment for a hepatitis B related nephritis patient with renal failure. Methods The following databases as Up to Date (May 2011), The Cochrane Library (Issue 5, 2011), PubMed (1978 to 2011) and CNKI (1978 to 2011) were searched to identify systematic reviews and randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of treating hepatitis B related nephritis with glucocorticoid, immunosuppressor or antiviral therapies, and the quality of collected clinical evidence was evaluated by using GRADEpro software. Results The glucocorticoid or combined immunosuppressors was not recommended for existing adverse effects and not acting on the remission of hepatitis B related nephritis and reduction of proteinuria. However, the antiviral therapy used alone was recommended for acting on the remission of hepatitis B related nephritis and the reduction of proteinuria. In view of adverse effects and expensive price of interferon, the nucleoside analogue antiviral agent was suggested. Considering the renal toxicity of adefovir and tenofovir, and possible drug-resistance of lamivudine, the entecavir (0.5 mg qd) was finally selected with patient’s agreement, and the supporting therapies such as lowering blood pressure, and protecting the kidney and liver were adopted continually. After one month treatment, 24-hour urinary protein got reduced, serum albumin got increased, kidney function got stable, and hepatitis B virus DNA quantity got reduced. Conclusion For treating hepatitis B related nephritis with kidney failure, entacavir can reduce 24-hour urinary protein, raise serum albumin, stabilize kidney function and reduce hepatitis B virus DNA in a short term, but its long-term efficacy still requires further studies.

ObjectiveTo identify the predictors of postoperative acute kidney injury in patients undergoing surgery for Stanford type A acute aortic dissection. MethodsA total of 220 patients who underwent surgery for type A acute aortic dissection in Qingdao Municipal Hospital from September 2010 to September 2017 were divided into two groups including a group A and a group B based on whether acute kidney injury occurred or not after surgery. There were 40 patients with 29 males and 11 females with the mean age of 54.6±9.2 years in the group A, 180 patients with 133 males and 47 females with the mean age of 48.5±7.9 years in the group B. Univariate and multivariate analyses (logistic regression) were used to identify the predictive risk factors.ResultsOverall in-hospital mortality was 5.5%. In univariate analysis, there were statistically significant differences with respect to the age, preoperative creatinine, preoperative white blood cell, the European system for cardiac operative risk evaluation (EuroSCORE), total cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) time, deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA) time, arch replacement, red blood cell transfusion intraoperative and in 24 hours postoperatively, postoperative mechanical ventilation time, ICU stay duration, hospital stay duration and in hospital mortality. Multivariate logistic analysis showed that preoperative creatinine, preoperative white blood cell, CPB time, and red blood cell transfusion intraoperative and in 24 hours postoperatively were the independent predictors for postoperative acute kidney injury.ConclusionThe incidence of acute kidney injury is high after surgery for acute Stanford type A aortic dissection. It can be predicted based on above factors, for patients with these risk factors, more perioperative care strategies are needed in order to induce the incidence of acute kidney injury.
ObjectiveTo observe whether proteinuria is relate to the decline of residual renal function (RRF) in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. MethodsThis is a prospective cohort study including 45 PD patients (underwent PD between January 2011 and January 2013) with a 12-month follow-up. All the patients were divided into 2 groups with respect to the initial proteinuria level: massive proteinuria group A (n=20) and non-massive proteinuria group B (n=25) at baseline. We established regression models to do univariate analysis and multivariate analysis of the relationship between the decline of RRF≥50% of baseline and the indices of age, sex, PD-associated peritonitis, baseliner residual glomerular filtration rate (rGFR), initial proteinuria, and use of ACEI/ARB. ResultsThe primary outcome (RRF>50% of baseline) at 12 months was 65% in group A, and 80% in group B (P<0.05). Based both on the results of univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis, non-massive proteinuria and higher rGFR at baseline were factors to protect RRF from decline (P<0.05). ConclusionThe study demonstrates that massive proteinuria and lower rGFR at baseline may be associated with a rapid decline of RRF in PD patients. Treatment aimed at reducing albuminuria may lead to protect RRF and improve life quality of patients.
