The purpose of this study was to evaluate periodontal disease (PD) in dogs with chronic renal failure (CRF) and to compare it to PD in dogs with normal renal function (NRF). Twelve dogs with CRF and 24 dogs with NRF, all presenting dental pocket formation, were compared. In all dogs, serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, urine specific gravity and total red and white blood cells were determined. A complete oral examination was also performed including evaluation of bacterial plaque, gingivitis, gingival recession, pocket, calculus, dental mobility, dental loss, and ulcers. These data were used to calculate plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI) and periodontal destruction index (PDI). PD was graded as mild, moderate or severe based on the results. Mild, moderate or severe PD was observed in dogs with NRF, whereas dogs with CRF presented either mild or severe PD. Dogs with NRF showed higher involvement of the maxillary teeth, whereas dogs with CRF showed a higher involvement of the mandibular teeth. Plaque index was significantly higher in dogs with NRF. It was concluded that lesion distribution and periodontal disease progression may be altered in dogs with CRF, and gingival inflammatory response differs in dogs with NRF and CRF regarding to the stage of periodontal disease.

Background The authors investigated the incidence and risk factors for postoperative acute renal failure after major noncardiac surgery among patients with previously normal renal function. Methods Adult patients undergoing major noncardiac surgery with a preoperative calculated creatinine clearance of 80 ml/min or greater were included in a prospective, observational study at a single tertiary care university hospital. Patients were followed for the development of acute renal failure (defined as a calculated creatinine clearance of 50 ml/min or less) within the first 7 postoperative days. Patient preoperative characteristics and intraoperative anesthetic management were evaluated for associations with acute renal failure. Thirty-day, 60-day, and 1-yr all-cause mortality was also evaluated. Results A total of 65,043 cases between 2003 and 2006 were reviewed. Of these, 15,102 patients met the inclusion criteria; 121 patients developed acute renal failure (0.8%), and 14 required renal replacement therapy (0.1%). Seven independent preoperative predictors were identified (P < 0.05): age, emergent surgery, liver disease, body mass index, high-risk surgery, peripheral vascular occlusive disease, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease necessitating chronic bronchodilator therapy. Several intraoperative management variables were independent predictors of acute renal failure: total vasopressor dose administered, use of a vasopressor infusion, and diuretic administration. Acute renal failure was associated with increased 30-day, 60-day, and 1-yr all-cause mortality. Conclusions Several preoperative predictors previously reported to be associated with acute renal failure after cardiac surgery were also found to be associated with acute renal failure after noncardiac surgery. The use of vasopressor and diuretics is also associated with acute renal failure.

Introduction. Anaesthesia affects kidney function by reducing the renal blood flow and glomerular filtration rate. As chronic renal failure (CRF) significantly influences drug metabolism and elimination, we studied the effects of rocuronium bromide (RB) in patients with CRF. Objective. The aim of the study was to examine whether, when using RB in patients with CFR, there are differences regarding the onset time of neuromuscular block (NMB) development, duration time, speed of recovery and cumulative effects of RB. Methods. Prospective study included 60 patients who underwent urologic surgery procedures. The patients were divided into 3 groups: the first group (G1) - 20 patients with CRF and residual dieresis, the second group (G2) - 20 patients with CRF and without dieresis, and third group (G3) - 20 patients with normal renal function (control group). During surgery RB was administrated for muscle paralysis in all patients. Train-of-four (TOF) Guard acceleromyography was used for NMB monitoring. Results. Onset time in three groups was 132.3 s; 139.5 s and 113.2 s (r<0.01). Duration of intubation dose was the same in G1 and G2 (28.9 minutes), while in the third group it was 27.2 minutes (r>0.05). The number of RB repeated doses was 3-8, 3-7 and 4-8 (r>0.05). The duration time until spontaneous recovery was 31.8, 31.6 and 29.8 minutes (r>0.01). The recovery index was 16.8, 16.7 and 10.6 minutes (r<0.001). The duration time from the last dose of RB to extubation was 74.5, 74.8 and 58.9 minutes (r<0.001). Conclusion. In patients with CRF the cumulative effect of the drug was registered, with a prolonged recovery time from NMB in relation to the patients with normal renal function.

SummaryIncreased plasma fibrinogen levels and hemostatic abnormalities suggestive of a prothrombotic state are present in patients with endstage renal failure and could contribute to increased cardiovascular morbidity in these patients. We investigated the relationship between abnormalities of the hemostatic system and the degree of renal failure and whether these abnormalities are associated with increased prevalence of cardiovascular events in patients with arteriolar nephrosclerosis. In 425 patients recruited at a hypertension clinic we assessed the renal function by creatinine clearance, urinary protein excretion, and microalbuminuria, the prevalence of atherosclerotic disease, and measured prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time, fibrinogen, prothrombin fragment 1+2 (F1+2), D-dimer, and antithrombin. Early impairment of renal function (creatinine clearance, 30 to 89 ml/min per 1.73 m2 of body surface area) caused by arteriolar nephrosclerosis was found in 172 patients. Patients with early renal failure were significanly older and had significantly greater values of blood pressure, plasma fibrinogen, F1+2, and D-dimer than patients with normal renal function. Elevated D-dimer and fibrinogen levels were independently associated with the presence of decreased creatinine clearance. Log fibrinogen, log F1+2, and log D-dimer were inversely correlated with creatinine clearance. The prevalence of coronary artery, cerebrovascular, and peripheral vascular disease was significantly greater in patients with mild renal failure than in those with normal renal function. Elevated levels of fibrinogen and D-dimer were associated with the presence of atherosclerotic disease independent of renal function and other risk factors. In conclusion, changes in hemostatic parameters occur early in the course of renal failure in patients with arteriolar nephrosclerosis, suggesting a prothrombotic state that may contribute to the risk for atherosclerotic disease at all levels of renal function.

Review Of The Literature

Phenazopyridine is a commonly used urinary analgesic available throughout the United States. Ingestion of large quantities can lead to methemoglobinemia, hemolytic anemia, jaundice, and acute renal failure. We report a case of a 78-year-old male with previously normal renal function who developed acute renal failure and jaundice without methemoglobinemia or hyperbilirubinemia after taking nearly 8 g of phenazopyridine over the course of 4 days. Initially presenting with oliguria, the urine output began to increase by day 2 of his admission, and the creatinine peaked 11 days after he began taking phenazopyridine, and he was discharged safely soon after. To our knowledge, this is the first such case of renal failure and jaundice without methemoglobinemia or hemolytic anemia in an adult patient with normal renal function.
