RESUMO Objetivo: Descrever casos de lesão renal aguda (LRA) em crianças diagnosticadas com COVID-19, associando fatores de risco, aspectos clínicos e evolução dos casos. Métodos: Estudo retrospectivo, realizado em hospital pediátrico entre março de 2020 e setembro de 2021, com pacientes com COVID-19 diagnosticados com LRA, que examinou informações presentes em prontuários como comorbidades, idade, sexo e uso de medicações nefrotóxicas. Resultados: Foram estudados 40 casos, sendo o sexo masculino significativamente mais acometido (62,5%; p=0,025). A LRA foi uma complicação grave da infecção por COVID-19, com 100% da amostra necessitando de internação na Unidade de Terapia Intensiva e 22,5% indo a óbito. As comorbidades mais prevalentes analisadas neste estudo foram epilepsia, paralisia cerebral e cardiopatia. A maioria dos pacientes foi classificada pelos critérios Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) como KDIGO 1 (42,5%) e necessitou de intubação orotraqueal (67,5%). A frequência de uso de medicamentos nefrotóxicos e necessidade de diálise foi baixa, com percentuais de 35 e 17,5%, respectivamente. Entre as crianças que faleceram, 70,4% apresentavam alguma comorbidade e 88,8% receberam ventilação invasiva. Conclusões: A LRA em crianças com infecção por COVID-19 está associada a quadros graves, apesar de a maior parte dos pacientes ter recebido alta hospitalar.

ABSTRACT Objective: To describe cases of acute kidney injury (AKI) in children diagnosed with COVID-19, associated risk factors, clinical aspects and outcome of cases. Methods: Retrospective study, carried out in a pediatric hospital between March 2020 and September 2021, with patients with COVID-19 who were diagnosed with AKI, studying information present in medical records such as comorbidities, age, gender and use of nephrotoxic medications. Results: We studied 40 cases, and male individuals were significantly more affected (62.5%; p=0.025). AKI was a severe complication of COVID-19 infection, with 100% of the sample requiring admission to the Intensive Care Unit and 22.5% dying. The most prevalent comorbidities analyzed in this study were epilepsy, cerebral palsy and heart disease. Most patients were classified according to Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria as KDIGO 1 (42.5%), and required orotracheal intubation (67.5%). The frequency of use of nephrotoxic medications and need for dialysis was low, with percentages of 35 and 17.5%, respectively. Among the children who died, 70.4% had some comorbidity and 88.8% received invasive ventilation. Conclusions: AKI in children with COVID-19 infection is associated with severe conditions. Despite the severity, most patients were discharged alive from the hospital.

Resumo Introdução: A doença renal crônica (DRC) está relacionada à elevada morbimortalidade e perda de qualidade de vida. Igualmente, o hiperparatireoidismo está associado à perda progressiva da função renal, com níveis aumentados de fosfato e diminuição de cálcio, que induzem secreção do paratormônio. Objetivos: Traduzir para língua portuguesa (Brasil), adaptar culturalmente e validar o questionário Parathyroid Symptoms Assessment (PAS), seguindo critérios de confiabilidade e validade em pacientes com DRC e hiperparatireoidismo. Métodos: Estudo metodológico e transversal, realizado no Hospital São Lucas/PUCRS, Porto Alegre, Brasil. O processo de validação do questionário PAS seguiu protocolos de estudos anteriores. Após tradução para o português, aplicou-se a 100 pacientes com hiperparatireoidismo secundário (HPTS) e terciário ou persistente (HPTT). Para dados de validação do PAS, os pacientes responderam ao questionário Short Form Health 36 (SF-36). Critérios de confiabilidade foram avaliados usando coeficiente de correlação intraclasse (CCI) e alfa de Cronbach (α-C). A validade foi avaliada pelo coeficiente de correlação de Spearman entre valores de PAS e SF-36. Resultados: A idade média dos participantes foi 55,6 ± 15,6 anos, 61% eram homens e 68% foram diagnosticados com HPTS. Entre 100 pacientes, 53% realizaram reteste de PAS (CCI = 0,83). A confiabilidade interna por α-C foi 0,86. Observaram-se correlações negativas entre questões do PAS e os domínios físico e mental do SF-36, que variaram de 0,3 a 0,7. Conclusão A versão brasileira do questionário PAS mostrou-se válida e confiável. O questionário PAS pode ser usado para avaliar qualidade de vida em pacientes brasileiros com hiperparatireoidismo que falam português.

Abstract Introduction: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is related to high morbidity and mortality and loss of quality of life. Likewise, hyperparathyroidism is associated to progressive loss of renal function, with increased phosphate and decrease calcium levels, which induce the secretion of parathyroid hormone. Objectives: To translate into Portuguese (Brazil), culturally adapt and validate the questionnaire Parathyroid Symptoms Assessment (PAS), following reliability and validity criteria in patients with chronic kidney disease and hyperparathyroidism. Methods: Methodological and cross-sectional study, carried out at São Lucas Hospital/PUCRS, Porto Alegre, Brazil. The PAS questionnaire validation process followed protocols from previous studies. After translating into Portuguese, it was applied to 100 patients with secondary (SHPT) and tertiary or persistent (THPT) hyperparathyroidism. For PAS validation data, patients responded to the Short Form Health 36 (SF-36) questionnaire. Reliability criteria were evaluated using intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and Cronbach’s alpha (α-C). Validity was assessed by Spearman’s correlation coefficient between PAS and SF-36 values. Results: Participant’s mean age was 55.6 ± 15.6 years, 61% was male, and 68% was diagnosed with SHPT. Among 100 patients, 53% performed a PAS retest (ICC = 0.83). The internal reliability by α-C was 0.86. Negative correlations were observed between PAS questions and SF-36 physical and mental domains, which ranged from 0.3 to 0.7. Conclusion: The Brazilian version of the PAS questionnaire was found to be valid and reliable. The PAS questionnaire can be used to evaluate quality of life in Brazilian patients with hyperparathyroidism who speak Portuguese.

Abstract Frailty, defined as an inappropriate response to stressful situations due to the loss of physiological reserve, was initially described in the elderly population, but is currently being identified in younger populations with chronic diseases, such as chronic kidney disease. It is estimated that about 20% of patients are frail at the time of kidney transplantation (KT), and there is great interest in its potential predictive value for unfavorable outcomes. A significant body of evidence has been generated; however, several areas still remain to be further explored. The pathogenesis is poorly understood and limited to the extrapolation of findings from other populations. Most studies are observational, involving patients on the waiting list or post-KT, and there is a scarcity of data on long-term evolution and possible interventions. We reviewed studies, including those with Brazilian populations, assessing frailty in the pre- and post-KT phases, exploring pathophysiology, associated factors, diagnostic challenges, and associated outcomes, in an attempt to provide a basis for future interventions.

Resumo A fragilidade, conceituada como a resposta inadequada a situações de estresse devido à perda da reserva fisiológica, foi descrita incialmente na população idosa, mas atualmente vem sendo identificada em populações mais jovens com doenças crônicas, como a doença renal crônica. Estima-se que cerca de 20% dos pacientes sejam frágeis no momento do transplante renal (TR), e há grande interesse pelo seu potencial valor preditor de desfechos desfavoráveis. Um número expressivo de evidências tem sido gerado, entretanto, ainda persistem várias áreas a serem mais exploradas. A patogênese é pouco conhecida e limitada à extrapolação dos achados de outras populações. A maioria dos estudos é observacional, envolvendo pacientes em lista ou após o TR, e há escassez de dados sobre a evolução em longo prazo e possíveis intervenções.

ABSTRACT Purpose: Minimally invasive radical nephrectomy is often preferred for larger renal tumours not suitable for partial nephrectomy (1). When performed with a multiport robot, the procedure is routinely performed with a transperitoneal approach, with recent studies highlighting important factors for surgical outcomes, including predictive factors (2), segmental artery unclamping techniques (3), and comparisons of robotic techniques (4). This video shows that SP Robot-Assisted Radical Nephrectomy (RARN) via a lower anterior approach is valuable in challenging cases. Materials and Methods: We performed SP-RARN on two complex patients using a retroperitoneal lower anterior approach. The first patient, a 54-year-old female with a BMI of 36.8 kg/m2, had a ventral hernia and bowel obstruction history, with a 9 cm right middle kidney mass. The second patient, a 58-year-old male with a BMI of 31.19 kg/m2, had ESRD and was on peritoneal dialysis for 8 years, with a 3.4x3.7 cm mass in the right superior pole, suspected to be RCC. The surgical technique is detailed in the video. Results: Both procedures were successful, with operative times of 173 and 203 minutes and blood loss of 150 mL. No complications occurred. Patients were discharged after 31 and 38 hours, respectively. Histopathology confirmed RCC. At the 3-month follow-up, no complications or readmissions were reported. Second patient continued peritoneal dialysis without issues. Conclusion: Retroperitoneal SP-RARN via the lower anterior approach avoids the peritoneal cavity, making it suitable for certain patients. In these patients, more so than in others, this procedure is feasible, safe, and less morbid than the standard multiport approach. Purpose 1. 1 .

ABSTRACT Introduction: Endoscopic Combined Intrarenal Surgery (ECIRS) has emerged as a promising technique for the management of large and complex kidney stones, potentially offering advantages over traditional Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL). This study aims to evaluate best practices, outcomes, and future perspectives associated with ECIRS. Materials and Methods: A comprehensive PubMed search was conducted from 2008 to 2024, using MESH terms and the following key words: "ECIRS" and "Endoscopic Combined Intrarenal Surgery" The search yielded 157 articles, including retrospective cohort studies, two randomized controlled trials (RCTs), and four meta-analyses comparing ECIRS with PCNL. Most important findings were summarized regarding indications, patient positioning, kidney access, tract size, surgical outcomes, and complications. Results: ECIRS demonstrated higher stone-free rate, lower complication rate, and a reduced need for multiple procedures compared to traditional PCNL. Additionally, ECIRS has the potential to integrate new technologies to further enhance outcomes. Conclusion: ECIRS demonstrates significant advantages in the management of large kidney stones. Future research should focus on well-designed RCTs to provide robust evidence of its efficacy, safety, and cost-effectiveness, potentially establishing ECIRS as the first option treatment for complex kidney stones.

ABSTRACT Purpose: Vacuum-assisted mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy (vmPCNL) is being increasingly adopted due to its faster operating times and lower incidence of postoperative infectious complications (IC), however, studies have been limited by small sample sizes. We hypothesize that vmPCNL is an efficacious treatment for renal stone disease with acceptable stone-free rates (SFR) and low incidence of IC. The objectives of this study were to measure SFR three months after surgery, determine the factors influencing SFR, and determine the rates of postoperative IC after vmPCNL. Materials and Methods: Seven hundred and sixty seven patients underwent vmPCNL for the treatment of renal stones > 20 mm at a single institution. Patients underwent postoperative computed tomography at three months to assess SFR. Postoperative fever and SIRS/Sepsis were recorded for individual patients. Multivariate logistics regression was performed to assess predictors of SFR. Results: The SFR was found to be 73.7% at three months. Stone burden (OR 0.39, 95% CI [0.33-0.46]) and age (OR 1.03, 95% CI [1.01-1.04]) emerged as statistically significant predictors of SFR on multivariate analysis. 5.5% of patients experienced postoperative fever, while 2.9% experienced SIRS/Sepsis. Conclusions: This is the largest continuous cohort of patients to undergo vmPCNL for stone disease and demonstrates that vmPCNL is safe and efficacious, with an SFR of 74% at three months. The incidence of postoperative fever and SIRS/Sepsis is 5.5% and 2.9% respectively. Further randomized studies with large sample sizes are required to ascertain the rates of these complications in comparison to conventional approaches.

Abstract Introduction: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and metabolic syndrome (MS) are recognized as public health problems which are related to overweight and cardiometabolic factors. The aim of this study was to develop a model to predict MS in people with CKD. Methods: This was a prospective cross-sectional study of patients from a reference center in São Luís, MA, Brazil. The sample included adult volunteers classified according to the presence of mild or severe CKD. For MS tracking, the k-nearest neighbors (KNN) classifier algorithm was used with the following inputs: gender, smoking, neck circumference, and waist-to-hip ratio. Results were considered significant at p < 0.05. Results: A total of 196 adult patients were evaluated with a mean age of 44.73 years, 71.9% female, 69.4% overweight, and 12.24% with CKD. Of the latter, 45.8% had MS, the majority had up to 3 altered metabolic components, and the group with CKD showed statistical significance in: waist circumference, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and fasting blood glucose. The KNN algorithm proved to be a good predictor for MS screening with 79% accuracy and sensitivity and 80% specificity (area under the ROC curve – AUC = 0.79). Conclusion: The KNN algorithm can be used as a low-cost screening method to evaluate the presence of MS in people with CKD.

Abstract Background: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are the second most common cause of graft dysfunction, accounting for significant morbidity, and are associated with poor graft and patient survival. This study aimed to assess the association between post-renal transplant UTI and graft outcomes. Methods: We examined the effect of UTIs on graft outcomes in patients who underwent renal transplantation surgery between January 2010 and December 2022. The study population included 349 renal transplantations, of which 74 experienced 140 UTI events. Based on the number of UTI episodes, patients were categorized into three groups. Results: Of the 349 recipients, 275 (74.4%) had no UTI, 47 (18.8%) had non-recurrent UTIs (NR-UTIs), and 27 (6.8%) had recurrent UTIs (R-UTIs). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that post-KT UTI status was a significant factor in graft survival, death-censored graft survival, and patient survival after a follow up of 5 years (log rank, P < 0.001). R-UTIs were associated with very poor graft survival and patient survival when compared with no UTI after a follow up of 5 years (hazard ratio [HR], 1.506; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.233–1.840; P < 0.001 & HR, 1.529; 95% CI, 1.227–1.905; P = 0.001). R-UTIs were more likely to be associated with multi-drug resistant Gram-negative organisms (Klebsiella pneumonia or Escherichia coli) with resistance to nitrofurantoin (RR, 2.753; 95% CI, 1.257–6.032; P = 0.01) and carbapenem (RR, 2.064; 95% CI, 0.988–4.314; P = 0.05). Conclusion: Compared to no UTI, R-UTIs were associated to worse graft and patient outcomes after a follow-up of 5 years, whereas NR-UTIs were associated with poor graft and patient outcomes in the long term.

Resumo Histórico: Infecções do trato urinário (ITU) são a segunda causa mais comum de disfunção do enxerto, responsáveis por morbidade significativa, sendo associadas à baixa sobrevida do enxerto e paciente. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar associação entre ITU pós-transplante renal e desfechos do enxerto. Métodos: Examinamos o efeito das ITU nos desfechos do enxerto em pacientes submetidos ao transplante renal entre janeiro/2010 e dezembro/2022. A população do estudo incluiu 349 transplantes renais, dos quais 74 apresentaram 140 eventos de ITU. Baseado no número de episódios de ITU, categorizamos os pacientes em três grupos. Resultados: Dos 349 receptores, 275 (74,4%) não apresentaram ITU, 47 (18,8%) apresentaram ITU não recorrentes (ITU-NR) e 27 (6,8%) apresentaram ITU recorrentes (ITU-R). O método de Kaplan-Meier mostrou que o status da ITU pós-TR foi um fator significativo na sobrevida do enxerto, sobrevida do enxerto censurada para óbito e sobrevida do paciente após acompanhamento de 5 anos (log rank, P < 0,001). ITU-R foram associadas à sobrevida muito baixa do enxerto e sobrevida do paciente comparadas com nenhuma ITU após acompanhamento de 5 anos (razão de risco [RR], 1,506; IC 95%, 1,233–1,840; P < 0,001 & RR, 1,529; IC 95%, 1,227–1,905; P = 0,001). ITU-R apresentaram maior probabilidade de serem associadas a organismos Gram-negativos multirresistentes (Klebsiella pneumonia ou Escherichia coli) resistentes à nitrofurantoína (RR, 2,753; IC 95%, 1,257–6,032; P = 0,01) e carbapenem (RR, 2,064; IC 95%, 0,988–4,314; P = 0,05). Conclusão: Em comparação com ausência de ITU, ITU-R foram associadas a piores desfechos do enxerto e paciente após acompanhamento de 5 anos, enquanto ITU-NR foram associadas a piores desfechos do enxerto e paciente em longo prazo.

Abstract Introduction: The malnutrition-inflammation process is one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), influencing quality of life. The aim of this study was to identify the inflammatory and nutritional status of elderly hemodialysis (HD) and its association with quality of life. Methods: This study was carried out in health services in three different cities. The Malnutrition-Inflammation Score (MIS) was used to assess the inflammatory and nutritional status, with anthropometric measurements, protein status, lean mass and function. The quality of life was assessed using KDQOL-SFTM. Data were analyzed using multivariate analysis and the Poisson model to evaluate the factors that increased the risk of developing malnutrition and inflammation. Results: The MIS identified a 52.2% prevalence of malnutrition and inflammation in the population. In univariate analysis, most KDQOL-SFTM domains presented higher scores for nourished elderly. Anthropometric measures associated with muscle mass and functionality were lower in the malnourished elderly. Multivariate modeling revealed a higher nutritional risk of 50.6% for women and older age, since with each additional year of life the risk of malnutrition increased by 2.4% and by 0.4% with each additional month on HD. Greater arm muscle circumference (AMC) and higher serum albumin were factors for reducing malnutrition by 4.6% and 34.7%, respectively. Conclusion: Higher serum albumin and preserved AMC have been shown to be good indicators of better nutritional status. Higher MIS was associated with poorer quality of life, older age, lower income and education, longer time on dialysis, and presence of comorbidities.

Resumo Introdução: O processo de desnutrição-inflamação é uma das principais causas de morbimortalidade em pacientes com DRC, influenciando a qualidade de vida. O objetivo deste estudo foi identificar o estado inflamatório e nutricional de idosos em hemodiálise (HD) e sua associação com qualidade de vida. Métodos: Estudo realizado em serviços de saúde de três cidades diferentes. O Escore de Desnutrição-Inflamação (MIS, por sua sigla em inglês) foi utilizado para avaliar estado inflamatório e nutricional, com medidas antropométricas, estado proteico, massa magra e funcionalidade. A qualidade de vida foi avaliada com KDQOL-SFTM. Os dados foram analisados utilizando análise multivariada e modelo de Poisson para avaliar fatores que aumentaram o risco de desenvolver desnutrição e inflamação. Resultados: O MIS identificou prevalência de 52,2% de desnutrição e inflamação na população. Na análise univariada, a maioria dos domínios do KDQOL-SFTM apresentou escores maiores para idosos nutridos. Medidas antropométricas associadas à massa muscular e funcionalidade foram menores em idosos desnutridos. A modelagem multivariada revelou maior risco nutricional de 50,6% para mulheres e idosos pois o risco de desnutrição aumentou em 2,4% para cada ano adicional de vida e em 0,4% para cada mês adicional de HD. Maior circunferência muscular do braço (CMB) e maior albumina sérica foram fatores de redução da desnutrição em 4,6% e 34,7%, respectivamente. Conclusão: Demonstrou-se que albumina sérica mais elevada e CMB preservada são bons indicadores de melhor estado nutricional. Maior MIS foi associado a pior qualidade de vida, idade mais avançada, menor renda e escolaridade, maior tempo em diálise e presença de comorbidades.

Abstract Introduction: This study investigated variables associated with mortality in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) diagnosed with post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease (PTLD) and a simultaneous Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) viremia. Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study enrolling KTRs diagnosed with PTLD between 2018 and 2020. Outcome: death within two years after diagnosis. Results: Among 1,625 KTRs who collected EBV viremia (by PCR, 2018–2020) for any reason, 238 (14.6%) had a positive viral load and 41 (17.2%) simultaneous PTLD. These 41 patients were 40.1 years old at diagnosis and 8.6 years after transplantation; 26.8% were induced with rATG and 92.7% were maintained on tacrolimus and azathioprine (TAC/AZA) as immunosuppressive regimen. Lymph nodes (75.6%) was the most common site of PTLD, followed by the gastrointestinal tract (48.8%), with 61.0% at Lugano stage IV and 80.5% monomorphic PTLD. The mean EBV viral load was 12,198 IU/mL. One- and two-year patient survival post-diagnosis was 60.4% and 46.8%, respectively. In the Cox regression analysis, age at PTLD diagnosis (HR for each year = 1.039; p < 0.001) and EBV viral load (HR for each log = 1.695; p = 0.026) were associated with risk of death. Conclusion: This study suggests that in patients predominantly on TAC/AZA, PTLD with simultaneous EBV positive viral load is a late event, and worse survival is associated with older age and EBV viral load at diagnosis.

Resumo Introdução: Este estudo investigou variáveis associadas à mortalidade em receptores de transplante renal (RTR) diagnosticados com doença linfoproliferativa pós-transplante (PTLD, do inglês post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease) e viremia simultânea pelo vírus Epstein-Barr (EBV). Métodos: Estudo de coorte retrospectivo incluindo RTR diagnosticados com PTLD entre 2018 e 2020. Desfecho: óbito em até dois anos após diagnóstico. Resultados: Entre 1.625 RTR que realizaram coleta de viremia para EBV (por PCR, 2018–2020) por qualquer motivo, 238 (14,6%) apresentaram carga viral positiva e 41 (17,2%) PTLD simultânea. Esses 41 pacientes tinham em média 40,1 anos ao diagnóstico e 8,6 anos após o transplante; 26,8% foram induzidos com rATG e 92,7% foram mantidos com tacrolimus e azatioprina (TAC/AZA) como regime imunossupressor. Linfonodos (75,6%) foram o local mais comum de PTLD, seguidos pelo trato gastrointestinal (48,8%), com 61,0% no estágio IV de Lugano e 80,5% PTLD monomórfica. A carga viral média do EBV foi 12.198 UI/mL. A sobrevida dos pacientes em um e dois anos após o diagnóstico foi 60,4% e 46,8%, respectivamente. Na análise de regressão de Cox, a idade ao diagnóstico de PTLD (HR para cada ano = 1,039; p < 0,001) e a carga viral do EBV (HR para cada log = 1,695; p = 0,026) foram associadas ao risco de óbito. Conclusão: Este estudo sugere que, em pacientes predominantemente em uso de TAC/AZA, a PTLD com carga viral simultânea positiva para EBV é um evento tardio, e a pior sobrevida está associada à idade mais avançada e à carga viral de EBV no momento do diagnóstico.

Resumo A doença renal do diabetes (DRD) permanece como a principal causa de doença renal crônica (DRC) mundialmente. A patogênese da DRD é influenciada por mecanismos funcionais, histopatológicos e imunológicos, incluindo a atividade do inflamassoma NLRP3 e estresse oxidativo. Os inibidores do cotransportador de sódio-glicose 2 (iSGLT2) demonstraram benefícios metabólicos e a capacidade de retardar a progressão da DRD em diversos estudos clínicos ao longo dos anos. Estudos recentes sugerem que a atividade antidiabética também se estende à inibição da resposta inflamatória, incluindo modulação do inflamassoma NLRP3, redução de marcadores pró-inflamatórios e redução do estresse oxidativo. Aqui, avaliamos a eficácia dos iSGLT2 no tratamento da DRC e discutimos o papel da resposta inflamatória no desenvolvimento da DRD, incluindo sua relação com o inflamassoma NLRP3 e o estresse oxidativo.

Abstract Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) remains the leading cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD) worldwide. The pathogenesis of DKD is influenced by functional, histopathological, and immune mechanisms, including NLRP3 inflammasome activity and oxidative stress. The sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) have shown metabolic benefits and the ability to slow the progression of DKD in several clinical studies over the years. Recent studies suggest that the antidiabetic activity also extends to inhibition of the inflammatory response, including modulation of the NLRP3 inflammasome, reduction of pro-inflammatory markers and reduction of oxidative stress. Here we review the efficacy of SGLT2i in the treatment of CKD and discuss the role of the inflammatory response in the development of DKD, including its relationship to the NLRP3 inflammasome and oxidative stress.

Resumo Introdução: O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar o papel do fenofibrato, um agonista do receptor ativado por proliferadores de peroxissoma-α, na lesão renal induzida por obesidade (lipotoxicidade) em camundongos submetidos à uninefrectomia. Métodos: Camundongos C57BL/6 foram submetidos a uninefrectomia e cirurgias simuladas (sham) e alimentados com dietas normocalóricas ou rica em gordura. Após 10 semanas, os camundongos obesos receberam fenofibrato a 0,02% por 10 semanas. Avaliamos função e morfologia renal, bem como níveis de mediadores inflamatórios e fibróticos e marcadores do metabolismo lipídico. Resultados: Camundongos alimentados com dieta rica em gordura desenvolveram obesidade e hiperlipidemia características, com subsequente acúmulo de lipídios e danos renais, incluindo expansão mesangial, fibrose intersticial, inflamação e proteinúria. Essas alterações foram maiores em camundongos obesos uninefrectomizados do que em camundongos obesos sham. O tratamento com fenofibrato preveniu hiperlipidemia e lesões glomerulares, reduziu o acúmulo de lipídios, melhorou a disfunção renal e atenuou a inflamação e fibrose renal. Além disso, o tratamento com fenofibrato reduziu a expressão no tecido renal do inibidor do ativador do plasminogênio-1, da proteína quimiotática de monócitos-1 e a expressão local do fator de crescimento de fibroblastos-21. Conclusão: A ativação do receptor ativado por proliferadores de peroxissoma-α pelo fenofibrato, com subsequente lipólise, atenuou lesões glomerulares e tubulointersticiais induzidas por lipotoxicidade renal, protegendo, assim, os rins de camundongos uninefrectomizados contra lesões induzidas por obesidade. Os achados do estudo sugerem uma via na ação farmacológica do fenofibrato, fornecendo insights sobre os mecanismos envolvidos no dano renal causado pela obesidade em doadores renais.

Abstract Introduction: The objective of this study was to investigate the role of fenofibrate, a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-α agonist, in obesity-induced kidney damage (lipotoxicity) in mice with uninephrectomy. Methods: C57BL/6 mice underwent uninephrectomy and sham surgeries and were fed normocaloric or high-fat diets. After 10 weeks, obese mice were administered 0.02% fenofibrate for 10 weeks. Kidney function and morphology were evaluated, as well as levels of inflammatory and fibrotic mediators and lipid metabolism markers. Results: High-fat diet-fed mice developed characteristic obesity and hyperlipidemia, with subsequent renal lipid accumulation and damage, including mesangial expansion, interstitial fibrosis, inflammation, and proteinuria. These changes were greater in obese uninephrectomy mice than in obese sham mice. Fenofibrate treatment prevented hyperlipidemia and glomerular lesions, lowered lipid accumulation, ameliorated renal dysfunction, and attenuated inflammation and renal fibrosis. Furthermore, fenofibrate treatment downregulated renal tissue expression of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, and local expression of fibroblast growth factor-21. Conclusion: Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-α activation by fenofibrate, with subsequent lipolysis, attenuated glomerular and tubulointerstitial lesions induced by renal lipotoxicity, thus protecting the kidneys of uninephrectomy mice from obesity-induced lesions. The study findings suggest a pathway in the pharmacological action of fenofibrate, providing insight into the mechanisms involved in kidney damage caused by obesity in kidney donors.

Abstract Introduction: In December 2016, an outbreak of sylvatic yellow fever (YF) occurred in the non-endemic areas of the south-eastern region of Brazil. The immune response to the yellow fever vaccine and its safety in individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD) living in YF-endemic regions are not thoroughly understood. The objective of this study is to assess the incidence of adverse events and the serological response after primary vaccination with the 17DD-YF vaccine in CKD patients undergoing dialysis. Methods: This was a multicenter, retrospective cohort study involving 223 individuals with CKD who were on dialysis after primary vaccination against YF. Clinical and epidemiologic characteristics were collected and the vaccine adverse event (VAE) were assessed. Around 35 months after vaccination, the serological response was evaluated in 71 (32%) patients using neutralization tests. Results: No serious VAE occurred in any patient. Local reactions were reported in 13 individuals (5.8%), while 6 (2.7%) reported generalized systemic reactions and 205 (91.9%) did not display any VAE. No clinical or epidemiologic characteristic predicted the occurrence of VAE. Adequate serological response was found in 38% of participants and none of the clinical or epidemiological characteristics were associated with immunogenicity. Conclusion: The outcomes of our study suggest that the yellow YF vaccine is well-tolerated in CKD patients undergoing dialysis, but it does not induce adequate immune response. Future research should focus on evaluating both cellular and humoral immune responses following administration of various doses of the YF vaccine.

Resumo Introdução: Em dezembro de 2016, houve um surto de febre amarela (FA) silvestre em áreas não endêmicas da região sudeste do Brasil. A resposta imunológica à vacina contra FA e sua segurança em indivíduos com doença renal crônica (DRC) que vivem em regiões endêmicas de febre amarela não são totalmente compreendidas. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a incidência de eventos adversos e a resposta sorológica após vacinação primária com a vacina 17DD-YF em pacientes com DRC submetidos à diálise. Métodos: Este foi um estudo de coorte retrospectivo e multicêntrico envolvendo 223 indivíduos com DRC que estavam em diálise após vacinação primária contra FA. Foram coletadas características clínicas, epidemiológicas e avaliados os eventos adversos da vacina (EAV). Cerca de 35 meses após a vacinação, a resposta sorológica foi avaliada em 71 (32%) pacientes usando testes de neutralização. Resultados: Não houve EAV grave em nenhum paciente. Reações locais foram relatadas em 13 indivíduos (5,8%), enquanto 6 (2,7%) relataram reações sistêmicas generalizadas e 205 (91,9%) não apresentaram nenhum EAV. Nenhuma característica clínica ou epidemiológica predisse a ocorrência de EAV. Uma resposta sorológica adequada foi encontrada em 38% dos participantes e nenhuma das características clínicas ou epidemiológicas foi associada à imunogenicidade. Conclusão: Os desfechos de nosso estudo sugerem que a vacina contra FA é bem tolerada em pacientes com DRC em diálise, mas não induz uma resposta imunológica adequada. Pesquisas futuras devem se concentrar na avaliação das respostas imunes tanto celulares quanto humorais após a administração de várias doses da vacina contra FA.
