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.

Background: The mean arterial pressure serves as an expression of blood pressure in patients on chronic hemodialysis. Serum calcium phosphorus product is considered as a risk factor of vascular calcification that is associated with hypertension in the patients of end stage renal disease. The literature regarding this relationship is inconsistent therefore this study is designed to determine the correlation between calcium phosphorus product and mean arterial pressure among hemodialysis patients with end stage renal disease. Methods: A total of 110 patients of end stage renal disease on hemodialysis for at least one year, 20 to 60 years of age were included. Patients with primary or tertiary hyperparathyroidism, peripheral vascular disease, malignancy, hypertension secondary to any cause other than kidney disease were excluded. Mean arterial pressure was calculated according to the standard protocol in lying position. Blood samples for estimation of serum calcium and phosphorous were taken and was sent immediately to the laboratory for serum analysis. Results: Mean age was 44.17 ± 10.94 years. Mean calcium phosphorous product was 46.71 ± 7.36 mg/dl and mean arterial pressure was 103.61 ± 12.77 mmHg. The values of Pearson correlation co-efficient (r) were 0.863 for age group 20 to 40 years and 0.589 for age group 41 to 60 years. This strong positive correlation means that high calcium phosphorous product goes with high mean arterial pressure (and vice versa) for both the age groups. Conclusion: A strong positive relationship exists between the mean arterial pressure and calcium phosphorous product and is independent of patients’ age.

The correction of anemia with human recombinant erythropoietin (rHuEPO) in end stage renal disease is associated with hypertension in about one third of hemodialysis patients. The pathogenesis of the rHuEPO-induced hypertension is still uncertain, though evidence of the involvement of endothelial cells has emerged. The aim of this study was to determine plasma endothelin-1 during hemodialysis and to compare the endothelin-1 levels in hemodialysis patients with and without rHuEPO substitution. Nineteen stable patients (13 male and 6 female, mean age 62 ± 11 years) with end stage renal disease were studied. Cuprophan dialysers (GFS 12®, Gambro, Lund, Sweden) were used for hemodialysis in all cases. rHuEPO (40U/kg s.c.) was administered to 10 patients. Blood pressure (BP; RR mmHg) and blood volume changes (ΔBV; hemoglobinometry %) were serially measured. Samples were taken before and every hour during hemodialysis. Plasma endothelin-1 was measured by ELISA (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, USA) and corrected for hemoconcentration. Endothelin-1 concentration was elevated before commencement of hemodialysis (1.16 ± 0.36 pg/ml) when compared to healthy controls (ref. 0.3 - 0.9) and increased to 1.47 ± 0.51 pg/ml by the end of the session (p<0.05). In patients under rHuEPO-substitution plasma endothelin-1 was higher when compared to patients without substitution before (1.25 ± 0.3 vs. 1.05 ± 0.3 pg/ml) and at the end of HD (1.62 ± 0.5 vs. 1.28 ± 0.3 pg/ml, p<0.05). There was no difference in BP and ΔBV between the two groups during treatment. Plasma endothelin-1 was higher in hemodialysis patients and there was a continuous rise in plasma endothelin-1 during a session. Comparison of two groups of hemodialysis patients with and without s.c. rHuEPO-replacement treatment revealed a significantly higher plasma endothelin-1 concentration in patients with s.c. rHuEPO treatment. However, the elevated endothelin-1 levels were not accompanied by arterial hypertension.

Randomized Crossover Study

Determining insulin requirements for hemodialysis patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) is difficult. We performed a randomized crossover study among type 2 diabetes (T2DM) patients with ESRD on continuous hemodialysis and receiving standard insulin for glycemic control. The patients were randomized in 2 groups: daily insulin needed on the day after hemodialysis and a 25% decrease in daily insulin needed on the day after hemodialysis. A total of 51 T2DM patients with ESRD were enrolled. The adjusted-insulin group had higher plasma glucose levels at the 2nd hour of dialysis than those of the nonadjusted-insulin group. Incidence of hypoglycemia per dialysis session (3.3% vs. 0.7%, P=0.02) and symptoms related to hypoglycemia (6.9% vs. 0.7%, P=0.001) were more frequent in the nonadjusted-insulin group. A reduced insulin administration of 25% among T2DM patients undergoing hemodialysis on the day of dialysis was associated with sustained glycemic efficacy and the production of fewer hypoglycemic symptoms. This trial is registered with TCTR20180724002.
