Clinical Pearls in Nephrology

In patients with acute myocardial infarction, the hazard ratio (HR) for major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) was highest in patients with chronic kidney disease and anemia.
Well-managed use of tobramycin long term is not associated with kidney failure. In a retrospective study among individuals with cystic fibrosis, the use of intravenous colistin, gentamicin, tobramycin or vancomycin did not correlate with increased BUN or creatinine after 8.5 years. Furthermore, only inhaled colistin correlated with kidney failure episodes
Evidence by the Study of Heart and Renal Protection trial showed cardiovascular benefit and absence of special safety concerns for statin administration in chronic kidney disease; yet some experts call for additional data on renal outcomes.

Highlights in Nephrology

Risk factors for acute cardiac events in patients with community-acquired pneumonia

As published in the Journal of Infection, patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) and acute cardiac events (ACEs) have a higher fatality rate (19.4%) than patients with CAP but without ACEs (6.4%). Of 3291 patients with CAP over a 15-year period, 315 had ACEs (8%; arrhythmias, n=199; congestive heart failure, n=118; myocardial infarction, n=30). Based on multivariate analysis, chronic heart disease, chronic kidney disease, tachycardia, septic shock, multilobar pneumonia, hypoalbuminemia, and pneumococcal pneumonia were associated with ACEs in patients with CAP.

Serum amyloid A is a sensitive biomarker for advanced renal cancer

Researchers from Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (Germany) have reported that serum amyloid A (SAA) has greater sensitivity in detecting advanced renal tumors than CRP or IL-6 levels. Specifically, the sensitivities and specificities of SAA, CRP, and IL-6 for advanced renal tumors were 78%, 69%, and 44%, and 82%, 82%, and 94%, respectively. Furthermore, the SAA levels were higher in patients with advanced renal tumors than patients with localized renal tumors.

NSAID-associated AKI more severe in young children

As published in the Journal of Pediatrics, NSAID-associated acute tubular necrosis and acute interstitial nephritis occurred in 21 and 6 of 1015 children with acute kidney injuries, respectively. Correct dosing of NSAIDs was confirmed in 75% of the children. Children < 5 years of age had more severe disease, more often requiring dialysis (100% vs. 0) and ICU admission (75% vs. 9%), and increased length of stay (10 d vs. 7 d).
