IntroductionThere is limited evidence to guide management in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on chronic hemodialysis admitted with diabetes ketoacidosis. Thus, we investigated the clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients with ESRD admitted with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA).MethodsIn this observational study, we used International Classification of Diseases Ninth/Tenth Revision codes to identify adult (aged 18–80 years) patients admitted to Emory University Hospitals between 1 January 2006 and 31 December 2016. DKA and ESRD diagnoses were confirmed by reviewing medical records and by admission laboratory results.ResultsAmong 307 patients with DKA meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 22.1% (n: 68) had ESRD on hemodialysis and 77.9% (n: 239) had preserved renal function (estimated glomerular filtration rate >60 mL/min/1.73 m2). Compared with patients with preserved renal function, the admission blood glucose was higher (804.5±362.6 mg/dL vs 472.5±137.7 mg/dL) and the mean hemoglobin A1c was lower (9.6%±2.1 vs 12.0%±2.5) in patients with DKA and ESRD, both p<0.001. The rates of hypoglycemia <70 mg/dL (34% vs 14%, p=0.002) and <54 mg/dL (13% vs 5%, p=0.04) were higher in the ESRD group. During hospitalization, more patients with ESRD develop volume overload (28% vs 3%, p<0.001) and require mechanical ventilation (24% vs 3%, p=<0.001). There were no differences in hospital mortality (3% vs 0%, p=0.21), but length of stay (median 7.0 vs 3.0 days, p<0.001) was longer in the ESRD cohort. After adjusting for multiple covariates, patients with DKA and ESRD have higher odds of hypoglycemia (OR 3.3, 95% CI 1.51 to 7.21, p=0.003) and volume overload (OR 4.22, 95% CI 1.37 to 13.05, p=0.01) compared with patients with DKA with preserved renal function.ConclusionsPatients with DKA and ESRD on chronic hemodialysis had worse clinical outcomes including higher rates of hypoglycemia, volume overload, need for mechanical ventilation and longer length of stay, compared with patients with preserved kidney function.

More than 50 % of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients treated by chronic hemodialysis die from cardiovascular diseases, including congestive heart failure (CHF). The incidence of CHF is rising in both general and ESRD population. However, the mechanisms, which lead to the development of CHF in dialyzed patients, differ considerably. First, there are several factors leading to increase of the left ventricular afterload: volume overload between dialyses, hypertension, increased arterial stiffness, anemia, vascular access flow (arteriovenous fistula) and sympathetic activation. Second, hypertension, left ventricular hypertrophy, anemia and frequently present coronary artery disease worsen myocardial oxygenation. The combination of these factors explains the high incidence of CHF in dialyzed patients and their roles are reviewed in this article.

Background:ANCA associated vasculitides (AAV) are a heterogeneous group of rare diseases with unknown etiology and the broad clinical spectrum ranging from life-threatening systemic disease, through single organ involvement to minor isolated skin changes. Unfortunately the clinical classification, ANCA specificity or genetic characteristics alone is not able to categorize AAV patients in a satisfactory manner. As a consequence advanced statistical techniques were used to identify and stratify AAV subphenotypes [1, 2]. Here we have analyzed influence of the ANCA type on clinical manifestations and demographic characteristics in various types of AAV, based on data from the POLVAS registryObjectives:We decided to retrospectively analyze a large cohort of Polish AAV patients deriving from several referral centers – members of the Scientific Consortium of the Polish Vasculitis Registry (POLVAS) – and concentrate on demographic and clinical characteristics of anti-PR3 and anti-MPO positive patients regardless of their clinical diagnosis.Methods:We conducted a systematic multicenter retrospective study of adult patients diagnosed with AAV between Jan 1990 and Dec 2016. Patients were enrolled by 9 referral centers. We analyzed dichotomous variables: gender; ANCA status – anti-PR3+ or anti-MPO+, ANCA negative; organ involvement - skin, eye, ENT, respiratory, heart, GI, renal, urinary, CNS, peripheral nerves and polytomous variable (number of relapses), supported by quantitative covariates (e.g., age at diagnosis, CRP at diagnosis, maximal serum creatinine concentration ever)[3].Results:MPO-positive patients (both GPA and EGPA phenotype) were older at the time of diagnosis with a substantial percentage diagnosed > 65 years of age, and with high rate of renal involvement. Interestingly, while in the whole group of patients diagnosed with EGPA male to female ratio was 1:2, the MPO+ EGPA patients showed M:F ratio of 1:1.The analysis of ANCA negative AAV reveled significant differences in GPA, ANCA negative group is characterized with significantly lower frequency of renal involvement compared to rest GPA (11,5% vs 63,7%) p<0,05 what should be emphasized ANCA negative AAV never lead to ESRD (end stage renal disease) or even transient dialysis.Conclusion:ANCA specificity is indispensable as a separate variable in any clinically relevant analysis of AAV subcategories. MPO+ group is characterized by older age at time of diagnosis, male to female ration 1:1, kidney involvement, and shows more homogenous clinical phenotype than PR3+ AAV patients. In our group ANCA negative AAV never lead to ESRD (end stage renal disease) or even transient dialysis.References:[1]Mahr A, Specks U, Jayne D.
