Abstract Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate breast arterial calcification (BAC) detected on routine mammography, analyzing its association with chronic degenerative disease. Materials and Methods: This was a cross-sectional study involving women treated at a specialized outpatient clinic for high-risk hypertension, diabetes, or chronic kidney disease, as well as volunteers who participated in a study to validate a method of screening for occult renal disease. A total of 312 patients between 40 and 69 years of age, with no history of breast cancer, all of whom had undergone routine mammography in the last two years, were included. The mammograms were analyzed by researchers who were unaware of the risk factors for BAC in each case. Results: The mean age was 55.9 ± 7.4 years, and 64.3% of the patients were white. The mean glomerular filtration rate was 41.87 ± 6.23 mL/min/1.73 m2. Seventy-one patients (22.8%) had BAC. We found that BAC was associated with advanced age, hypertension, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, and low glomerular filtration rate. In the multivariate analysis, advanced age and diabetes continued to be associated with BAC. The odds ratio for BAC was higher for all chronic diseases. Conclusion: The association of BAC with advanced age, hypertension, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, and low glomerular filtration rate should call the attention of radiologists. Therefore, the presence of BAC should be reported, and patients with BAC should be screened for those diseases.

Background. Type 2 diabetic mellitus (T2DM) patients with impaired renal function have a higher risk of mortality, and often progress to end-stage renal disease. The study aims to determine the prevalence of kidney disease and investigate the relationship between various factors and impaired renal function in a large population of patients with T2DM. Methods. We conducted a cross-sectional study among 30,377 patients from a nationwide diabetes study involving 602 Thai hospitals. Impaired glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was defined as <60 mL/min per 1.73 m2. Multivariate logistic regression was used to determine the association between standard risk factors and impaired GFR. Results. The prevalence of impaired GFR in a T2DM population was 39.2%. After adjusting for multiple risk factors, advanced age (adjusted OR 11.69 (95%CI=3.13 to 43.61)), macroalbuminuria (adjusted OR 3.54 (95%CI=1.50 to 8.40)), high serum uric acid (adjusted OR 2.06 (95%CI=1.73 to 2.46)), systolic BP 130-139 mmHg (adjusted OR 3.21 (95%CI=1.30 to 7.96)), hemoglobinA1C (HA1C) <6% (adjusted OR 3.71 (95%CI=1.65 to 8.32)), and HA1C >7% (adjusted OR 2.53 (95%CI=1.38 to 4.63)) were found to be associated with a significantly increased risk of impaired GFR among T2DM patients. Conclusion. Almost 40% of patients with T2DM in a nationwide cross-sectional study in Thailand had impaired GFR. Advanced age, albuminuria, hyperuricemia, hypertension, HA1C <6%, and HA1C >7% were independently associated with increased prevalence of impaired GFR.

AbstractThe Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation seems to correct the overdiagnosis of chronic kidney disease (CKD) provided by Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) equation. However, this point has not been tested in some ethnic groups. This study investigated the performance of MDRD and CKD-EPI equations in South Brazilian individuals.This cross-sectional study included 354 individuals including healthy volunteers, diabetic and non-diabetic individuals with or without CKD. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was measured by theIn the group as a whole,CKD-EPI reduces GFR underestimation in individuals with GFRs >60, but still presents a quite low accuracy at this GFR range. Moreover, it tends to overestimate GFR in subjects with GFRs <60 mL/min/1.73 m

Abstract Objectives: To compare carriage rates of Staphylococcus aureus in patients with and without chronic kidney disease (CKD) and identify associated factors. Results: We enrolled 64 CKD (A-1 = 13, A-2 = 17, A-3 = 34) and 56 non-CKD controls (B). Patients were categorized as: stage 5 CKD on haemodialysis (A-1), stage 5 CKD not on haemodialysis (A-2), renal transplant recipients with glomerular filtration rate > 60 ml/min (A-3) and those having chronic medical diseases with glomerular filtration rate > 60 ml/min/m2 (B). Median age = 57 years (range = 17–77). Nasal or axillary Staphylococcus aureus carriage was seen in 5 (38.5%), 2 (11.8%), 5 (14.7%) and 9 (16.1%) patients from A-1 to A-3 and B groups respectively. All isolated organisms were methicillin sensitive. Haemodialysis (p = 0.035) and antibiotic use in the preceding month (p = 0.02) were associated with carriage. Demographic factors and co-morbidities were not associated with carriage.
