Purpose: Incidence of contrast induced nephropathy (CIN) and related risk factors in patients with liver cancer and chronic kidney disease after trans-catheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) is higher. The purpose of this study was to investigate the feasibility and safety of TACE therapy in such patients. Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 103 patients with liver cancer and chronic kidney disease who underwent TACE treatments. TACE was performed according to Seldinger’s technique of arterial embolization with minor modifications. Based on CIN diagnostic criteria, patients were divided into non-CIN (n=89) and CIN (n=14) groups. Multiple clinical parameters were assessed for the two groups after TACE. Serum creatinine levels were measured 48-72 h after TACE. Results: Tumor size (>5 cm), TACE frequency, contrast agent dosage, solitary kidney, volume of iodized oil used in the TACE (ml) and urea levels were significantly higher in CIN group in comparison with the non-CIN group, while serum albumin and haemoglobin levels were significantly lower. Multivariate logistic regression analysis confirmed that the volume of iodized oil and TACE frequency were significantly positively correlated, and serum albumin level was negatively correlated in the CIN group. Conclusion: Volume of iodized oil, TACE frequency and low serum albumin levels were found to be independent risk factors for CIN after TACE. Thus, it is safe and feasible for hepatocellular carcinoma patients with chronic kidney disease to receive TACE treatment, but adverse events management after TACE needs to be addressed.

Objective: Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is the most common aortic aneurysm. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and diabetes mellitus (DM) are considered as risk factors for cardiovascular diseases. However, the association between CKD and AAA remains unknown. Although DM has been reported to exert protective effect on the incidence and development of AAA in western population, such protective role of DM was not explored in the Asian population. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship of CKD and DM and the presence of AAA. We performed a cross-sectional retrospective case-control study in Asian population. Methods and Results: We enrolled 261 patients with AAA (AAA+) and age-and-sex matched 261 patients without AAA (AAA-) at two hospitals between 2008 and 2014, and examined the association between the risk factors and the presence of AAA. Furthermore, to investigate AAA prevalencein each group, we enrolled 1126 patients with CKD and 400 patients with DM. The presence of CKD in patients with AAA+ was significantly higher than that in patients with AAA- (AAA+; 65 %, AAA-; 52 %, P = 0.004). The presence of DM in patients with AAA+ was significantly lower than that in patients with AAA- (AAA+; 17 %, AAA-; 35 %, P < 0.001). A multivariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated that hypertension, ischemic heart disease and CKD were independent determinants, whereas, DM was the only independent protective factor, for the presence of AAA. The prevalence of AAA in patients with CKD 65 years old and above was 5.1 %, whereas, that in patients with DM 65 years old and above was only 0.6 %. Conclusion: CKD is a positively associated with the presence of AAA. In contrast, DM is a negatively associated with the presence of AAA.

Chronic kidney diseases and cardiovascular diseases have several common risk factors like hypertension and diabetes. In chronic renal disease stroke risk is several times higher than in the average population. The combination of classical risk factors and those characteristic of chronic kidney disease might explain this increased risk. Among acute cerebrovascular diseases intracerebral hemorrhages are more frequent than in those with normal kidney function. The outcome of stroke is worse in chronic kidney disease. The treatment of stroke (thrombolysis, antiplatelet and anticoagulant treatment, statins, etc.) is an area of clinical research in this patient group. There are no reliable data on the application of thrombolysis in acute stroke in patients with chronic renal disease. Aspirin might be administered. Carefulness, individual considerations and lower doses might be appropriate when using other treatments. The condition of the kidney as well as other associated diseases should be considered during administration of antihypertensive and lipid lowering medications.
