Abstract Background and Aims Contrast induced nephropathy (CIN) has been reported to be the third foremost cause of acute renal failure. Metabolomics is a robust technique that has been used to identify potential biomarkers for early detection of renal damage after procedures with using contrast media. We aim to analyze the serum and urine metabolites changes, after using contrast for coronary angiography, to determine if metabolomics can use as a tool for early detection of CIN. Method Sixty-six patients with positive primary non-invasive diagnostic tests for coronary artery disease (CAD) who were candidate of elective coronary angiography recruited. Spot urine samples collected in the morning before angiography and 4 hours after angiography. Patients with > 0.5 mg/dL creatinine rise compared to baseline were considered as case (CIN group). Urine samples were centrifuged at 3000 rcf for 20 minutes at 4°C to remove the cell debris and after addition of sodium azide to prevent bacterial growth, were stored at -80 degree Celsius in aliquots until required. The mixtures were then transferred to a standard 5 mm NMR tube for analysis. 1H-NMR spectra were acquired at 300 K on a Bruker DRX 500 MHz spectrometer by using Carr–Pucell–Meiboom–Gill (CPMG) technique. For each spectrum, 154 scans were collected into 32K data points using a spectral width of 8389.26 Hz during the relaxation time of 2.5 s. Results Structure and outliers of the dataset composed of patient with CIN (n = 10) before angiography and after angiography were evaluated by PCA. A model with two principal components (PC1 and PC2) with R2X = 0.775 and Q2(cum) = 0.487 was obtained .A supervised OPLS-DA model was built to identify discriminative variables between metabolite profiles before and after angiography in patients with CIN. The high level of AUC 0.95 that was obtained from 10-fold cross validation besides decreased R2 (0.0, 0.415) and Q2 (0.0, -0.454) intercepts of 999 random permutations reflects the good validity of this diagnostic model. According to this valid OPLS-DA model, 15 chemical shifts were significant based on VIP > 1 and FC > 1.2. To check these suggested chemical shifts if their changes are due to kidney injury and not caused by contrast agent, a decoy OPLS-DA model was built for non-CIN patients before and after angiography .Two common significant chemical shifts (2.42 and 2.78 ppm) were found in comparison of these two models (i.e. before vs. after angiography in CIN group in compared with before vs. after angiography in non-CIN group) and were excluded from the results. Metabolites corresponding with the remaining list of 12 significant chemical shifts were identified and suggested as early detection biomarker candidates for CIN (Fig 1). The AUC value of a panel of four biomarker candidates were higher than single biomarkers that reflects the value of simultaneous measurement of these four metabolite candidates than single candidates. Figure 2 shows the list of diagnostic metabolite candidates with p < 0.05 . Pathway characterization was used to better understanding of pathophysiology of CIN. As the input data was small list of metabolites, only “Histidine_ lysine_ phenylalanine, tyrosine, proline and tryptophan catabolism” pathway (p < 0.05) was significant and suggested as the most important disturbed pathway in CIN. Conclusion Early detection of CIN as early as only 4 hours after using contrast can help better management of these patients. In this study, only after 4 hours passed from using contrast a panel of metabolites could be found in urine of patients who develop CIN, which facilitates early detection of CIN. This is the first study to investigate urine metabolic profile using NMR-based metabolomics for early detection of CIN after coronary angiography. The use of this suggested panel might significantly improve clinical consequences of this harmful complication.

Abstract Background and Aims 25(OH)D3 levels are known to be lower in patients with chronic renal disease (CRD). Vitamin D supplementation has been shown to have beneficial effects on mortality in these patients. In our study, we have evaluated the pleiotropic effect of vitamin D on thrombocyte markers, which is known very little by most. Method The main thrombocyte function markers (MPV, PDW and PCT) were obtained in patients which underwent dialysis, renal transplantation and patients with grade 3-4 CRD before and after vitamin D supplementation. 40 healthy individuals were chosen as control group and 24 patients underwent renal transplantation, 25 patients underwent dialysis for at least 3 months, 32 patients were diagnosed as Grade 3-4 CRD. All of the patients above had 25(OH)D3 levels <20ng/mL (<50nmol/L). Thrombocyte markers were evaluated before and after vitamin D supplementation (which was given 50.000 IU orally once a week for 8 weeks). Results Statistically no significant difference were found between MPV values in- and across- group comparison before and after vitamin D supplementation. After the correlation analyses were reviewed, statistically significant negative correlation was found (r=-0,422 p<0.05) between ΔMPV and ΔVitamin D in renal transplantation group. Also statistically significant positive correlation was found between ΔPDW and ΔVitamin D. In the control group with healty participants, a statistically significant negative correlation was found (r=-0,493 p<0.05) between ΔVitamin D and ΔThrombocyte count. In the dialysis group a statistically significant negative correlation was found (r=-0,422 p<0.05) between ΔVitamin D and ΔMPV. Conclusion A significant correlation was found particularly between Vitamin D and MPV in dialysis and renal transplantation patients. In order to prevent cardiovascular events due to thrombosis caused by Vitamin D deficiency which increases MPV, it has been thought that Vitamin D supplementation and antiaggregant therapy might be beneficial.

INTRODUCTION The European Working Time Directive (EWTD) is calling for reduction in the working hours of doctors. Renal transplantation is well-recognised as an out-of-hours specialty. Our study looks at whether our renal transplant centre's attempt to reduce cold ischaemic time (CIT) has impacted on the pattern of operating times since this may have implications on the surgeons' working hours. PATIENTS AND METHODS We studied 883 adult cadaver kidney transplants performed between 1 January 1992 and 31 December 2002. CIT and time of surgery was obtained from a local audit database (< www.nwkta.org >) and that held by UK Transplant. Time of surgery was divided into 07:30–17:59 (day),18:00–23:59 (evening) and 00:00–07:29 (night). RESULTS CIT has decreased since 1992, with a significant reduction after 1998 (P = 0.0001). There was, however, no difference in the percentage of operations performed during the three time periods before and after 1998. Between 1999–2002, 51.4% of transplants took place out of hours (i.e. 18:00–07:29). CONCLUSIONS Reduction in CIT does not appear to have impacted on our operating times. The large amount of out-of-hours work is, however, not compliant with EWTD requirements.

To determine the importance of the fibrinolytic system in renal transplantation on the one hand, and to establish a correlation between possible endothelial damage due to treatment of the renal graft and fibrinolytic parameters on the other, dogs were divided in six groups. Group I dogs were subjected to anesthesia only. Group II was sham operated. In group III, kidneys were perfused with the supernatant of either autologous or homologous cryo-precipitated plasma, and in group IV with albumin. In group V kidneys were cold stored. This was followed by autotransplantation. In group VI kidneys were perfused with albumin and allografted. Before and after transplantation, total plasma plasminogen (pro) activator activities in systemic and renal circulations were measured on fibrin plates after the addition of dextran sulfate and flufenamate to euglobulin fractions. Vascular activator (VA) was measured by adding Cl-inactivator. There was no marked difference between groups III, IV and VI. In comparing, however, group V with any of the perfused groups, an overall higher fibrinolytic activity was recorded both for intrinsic activators (p<.001) and VA (p<.001). in group I a significant drop in both activities (p<.01 -<.02) could be directly related to the duration of anesthesia with recovery within 24 hours. This pattern, though highly accentuated, revealed itself in all the other groups studied, with VA temporarily reaching zero-levels in the renal circulation in group VI. This data indicates the participation of the fibrinolytic system, in particular of the VA, in determining the fate of renal grafts.
