Background:ANCA-associated systemic vasculitis (AAV) is characterized by a high incidence of complications and high mortality. The most significant complications during the first 3 years of the disease are infectious and cardiovascular. Development of chronic kidney disease also impairs the prognosis of AAV. Refractory to induction therapy can significantly increase the severity of organ lesions in patients with AAV.Objectives:The aim of this study was to determine risk factors for complications and refractory course in patients with AAV.Methods:Patients with granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) and eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) were observed during the first 3 years of the disease and included in this study between 2010 and 2018. Most common infectious complications requiring inpatient treatment were pneumonia, mycosis, sepsis, purulent arthritis, purulent otitis media. Cardiovascular complications included pulmonary thromboembolism, myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, venous thrombosis.Results:In total 209 (165 [79%] female and mean age 51.8 ± 13.2 years) AAV patients (94 GPA; 46 MPA; and 69 EGPA) were included in the analysis. Risk factors for infectious complications were BVAS level at the beginning of induction therapy > 25 (OR – 2.92, 95% CI (1.53;5.45) p<0.001), usage of prednisone in doses more than 60 mg / day at the induction of remission (OR – 2.76, 95% CI (1.45;5.29) p=0.003), usage of prednisone in doses ≥ 10 mg / day after 6 months of induction therapy (OR – 2.60, 95% CI (1.38;4.93) p=0.003), ANCA-PR3 positivity (OR – 2.25, 95% CI (1.13;4.46) p=0.017) and presence of diabetes mellitus in the AAV onset (OR – 1.77, 95% CI (1.14;3.45) p=0.038). Patients with AAV had following risk factors for cardiovascular complications: male (OR – 2.28, 95% CI (1.33;3.88) p=0.002), BVAS level > 25 (OR – 2.1, 95% CI (1.11;3.16) p=0.008) and presence of coronary artery disease in the AAV onset (OR – 2.2, 95% CI (1.18;4.10) p=0.015). ANCA positivity (OR – 5.62, 95% CI (2.1;14.9) p<0.001), presence of rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis in the first 3 months from onset AAV (OR – 5.02, 95% CI (3.42;7.35) p<0.001) and over 60 years of age (OR – 2.17, 95% CI (1.38;3.44) p=0.001) were risk factors of development of chronic kidney disease. Risk factors for refractory to induction therapy in patients with AAV were ANCA-PR3 positivity (OR – 3.13, 95% CI (1.63;6.02) p<0.001), BVAS level > 25 (OR – 2.63, 95% CI (1.74;4.34) p<0.001), initiation of therapy after 4 months from the onset of clinical manifestations (OR – 2.17, 95% CI (1.26;3.91) p=0.005). We additionally defined that identification of pathological phenotypes of alpha-1-antitrypsin was risk factors for refractory course in patients with GPA manifestations (OR – 2.66, 95% CI (1.12;6.33) p=0.048).Conclusion:Our study has shown that high disease activity, ANCA positivity and comorbid pathology increase risk of serious complications. Early administration of immunosuppressive therapy, adequate steroid dosing and use of risk factors for complications and refractory course in clinical practice can significantly improve the prognosis of AAV.Disclosure of Interests:None declared

Background: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is an important public health issue and is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Risk factors for CKD are well established, but most are typically assessed at or near the time of CKD diagnosis. Our hypothesis was that risk factors for CKD are present earlier in the course of the disease. We compared the prevalence of risk factors between CKD cases and controls at time points up to 30 years prior to CKD diagnosis. Methods: Participants were drawn from the Framingham Heart Study Offspring cohort. CKD was defined as an estimated glomerular filtration rate of ≤60ml/min/1.73m2. Incident CKD cases occurring at examination cycles 6, 7, and 8 were age- and sex-matched 1:2 to controls. Risk factors including systolic blood pressure (SBP), hypertension, lipids, diabetes, smoking status, body mass index (BMI) and dipstick proteinuria were measured at the time of CKD diagnosis and 10, 20 and 30 years prior. Logistic regression models, adjusted for age, sex, and time period, were constructed to compare risk factor profiles at each time point between cases and controls Results: During follow-up, 441 new cases of CKD were identified and these were matched to 882 controls (mean age 69.2 years, 52.4% women). Up to 30 years prior to CKD diagnosis, those who ultimately developed CKD were more likely to have hypertension (OR 1.74, CI 1.21-2.49), be obese (OR 1.74, CI 1.15-2.63) and have higher triglycerides (OR 1.43, CI 1.12-1.84, p=0.005 per 1 standard deviation increase). Each 10mmHg increase in SBP was associated with an OR of 1.22 for future CKD (95% CI 1.10-1.35) Additionally, cases were more likely to have diabetes (OR 2.90, CI 1.59-5.29) and be on antihypertensive therapy (OR 1.65, CI 1.14-2.40, p=0.009) up to 20 years prior to diagnosis. Increasing HDLc was associated with a lower risk of CKD (OR 0.84, CI 0.81-0.97 per 10mg/dl). Conclusions: As many as 30 years prior to diagnosis, risk factors for CKD are identifiable. In particular, modifiable risk factors such as obesity, hypertension and dyslipidemia are present early in the course of the disease. These findings demonstrate the importance of early identification of risk factors in patients at risk of CKD through a life-course approach.

Background: HIV-infected (HIV+) persons are at increased risk of chronic kidney disease, but serum creatinine does not detect early losses in kidney function. We hypothesized that urine biomarkers of kidney damage would be associated with subsequent changes in kidney function in a contemporary cohort of HIV+ and HIV-uninfected (HIV–) men. Methods: In the Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study, we measured baseline urine concentrations of 5 biomarkers from 2009 to 2011 in 860 HIV+ and 337 HIV– men: albumin, alpha-1-microglobulin (α1m), interleukin-18 (IL-18), kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1), and procollagen type III N-terminal propeptide (PIIINP). We evaluated associations of urine biomarker concentrations with annual changes in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) using multivariable linear mixed models adjusted for demographics, traditional kidney disease risk factors, HIV-related risk factors, and baseline eGFR. Results: Over a median follow-up of 4.8 years, the average annual eGFR decline was 1.42 mL/min/1.73 m2/year in HIV+ men and 1.22 mL/min/1.73 m2/year in HIV– men. Among HIV+ men, the highest vs. lowest tertiles of albumin (–1.78 mL/min/1.73 m2/year, 95% CI –3.47 to –0.09) and α1m (–2.43 mL/min/1.73 m2/year, 95% CI –4.14 to –0.73) were each associated with faster annual eGFR declines after multivariable adjustment. Among HIV– men, the highest vs. lowest tertile of α1m (–2.49 mL/min/1.73 m2/year, 95% CI –4.48 to –0.50) was independently associated with faster annual eGFR decline. Urine IL-18, KIM-1, and PIIINP showed no independent associations with eGFR decline, regardless of HIV serostatus. Conclusions: Among HIV+ men, higher urine albumin and α1m are associated with subsequent declines in kidney function, independent of eGFR.

<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Kidney biopsy, providing the insightful information for most kidney diseases, is an invasive diagnostic tool with certain risks ranging from the least severe macroscopic hematuria to the most severe life-threatening bleeding necessitating renal artery embolization. We aimed to compare the postbiopsy bleeding complications between 2 common methods and to further explore the risk factors of bleeding complications in patients using the negative pressure suction puncture (NPS) method. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> We retrospectively collected the data from percutaneous native kidney biopsies in 2016. The clinical, laboratory tests, pathological findings, and the occurrence of bleeding complications following kidney biopsy were analyzed. The kidney biopsy was performed in our center by experienced nephrologists with 2 different methods, namely, NPS method and real-time ultrasound-guided needle (RTU) method. We compared rates of complications between 2 methods and evaluated univariate and multivariate association of risk factors with bleeding complications in the NPS group. <b><i>Results:</i></b> 626 kidney biopsies were performed between January 2016 and December 2016. There were 83.2% (521/626) participants in the NPS group and 16.8% (105/626) in the RTU group. There were more participants in the RTU group needing &#x3e;1 needle pass during biopsy than those in the NPS group (61.0 vs. 14.7%, <i>p</i> &#x3c; 0.001). Acute kidney disease (AKD) occurred before the procedure of kidney biopsy accounted for 13.8% (72/521) in the NPS group and 1.9% (2/105) in the RTU group. The renal pathological findings revealed higher number of glomeruli in the NPS group than in the RTU group (26.8 ± 13.0 vs. 17.2 ± 8.6, <i>p</i> &#x3c; 0.001). The incidence of bleeding complications in the NPS group was lower than that in the RTU group (9.2 vs. 21.9%, <i>p</i> &#x3c; 0.01). Logistic multivariate regression showed that AKD was independently associated with bleeding complications after kidney biopsy in the NPS group. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> Regarding the bleeding risk, there was noninferiority of NPS over RTU. AKD contributes to higher risks of bleeding complications after kidney biopsy.

Background: Kidney disease (KD) is increasingly recognized as a major public health problem worldwide with rising inci- dence and prevalence. Early identification of KD risk factors will slow down progression to kidney failure and death. Objective: To determine the prevalence, risk-inducing lifestyle and perceived susceptibility among Nigerians in South-west- ern Nigeria. Methods: A pretested structured questionnaire was employed to draw information on socio-demographic, knowledge, risk-inducing lifestyle and perceived susceptibility to conventional risk factors of KD from 1757 residents aged ≥15 years. Results: The mean age of the respondents was 47.61±13.0 years with a male-female ratio of 1.13:1. Knowledge of KD was low (mean score 2.29; 95% CI: 2.18, 2.32). The prevalence of some established KD risk factors was regular use of herbal medications, 26.8% and physical inactivity, 70.0%. Females with factors such as use of herbal drink [RRR: 1.56; CI=1.06- 2.30; p=0.02] and smoking [RRR: 2.72; CI=1.37-5.37; p=0.00] predicted increased odds of perceived susceptibility to KD than their male counterparts. Conclusion: The prevalence of KD risk-inducing lifestyles was high. More emphasis should be placed on effective public health programmes towards behavioural change in order to adopt lifestyle modification as well as to reduce the tendency to develop KD. Keywords: Kidney disease; risk-inducing lifestyles; perceived susceptibility.

Background: The incidence of AKI in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients is variable and has been associated with worse prognosis. A significant number of patients develop persistent kidney damage defined as Acute Kidney Disease (AKD). There is a lack of evidence on the real impact of AKD on COVID-19 patients. We aim to identify risk factors for the development of AKD and its impact on mortality in COVID-19 patients. Methods: Retrospective analysis of COVID-19 patients with AKI admitted at the Centro Hospitalar Universitário Lisboa Norte between March and August of 2020. The Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) classification was used to define AKI. AKD was defined by presenting at least KDIGO Stage 1 criteria for >7 days after an AKI initiating event. Results: In 339 COVID-19 patients with AKI, 25.7% patients developed AKD (n = 87). The mean age was 71.7 ± 17.0 years, baseline SCr was 1.03 ± 0.44 mg/dL, and the majority of patients were classified as KDIGO stage 3 AKI (54.3%). The in-hospital mortality was 18.0% (n = 61). Presence of hypertension (p = 0.006), CKD (p < 0.001), lower hemoglobin (p = 0.034) and lower CRP (p = 0.004) at the hospital admission and nephrotoxin exposure (p < 0.001) were independent risk factors for the development of AKD. Older age (p = 0.003), higher serum ferritin at admission (p = 0.008) and development of AKD (p = 0.029) were independent predictors of in-hospital mortality in COVID-19-AKI patients. Conclusions: AKD was significantly associated with in-hospital mortality in this population of COVID-19-AKI patients. Considering the significant risk of mortality in AKI patients, it is of paramount importance to identify the subset of higher risk patients.
