Abstract

BackgroundThe absence of nocturnal blood pressure dipping is associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes in adults, and proteinuria is a risk factor for non-dipping in this population. Risk factors for non-dipping in children are largely unknown.MethodsWe retrospectively identified patients aged 5-19 years who underwent 24-h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) from August 2018 to January 2019 and had a spot urine protein-to-creatinine ratio (PCR) within 1 year of their ABPM. Dipping was defined as ≥10% reduction in systolic and diastolic blood pressure from day to night. Multivariable logistic and linear regression models evaluated the association of proteinuria with non-dipping.ResultsAmong 77 children identified, 27 (35.1%) were non-dippers. Each two-fold higher urine PCR was associated with 38% higher odds of non-dipping, after adjusting for body mass index (BMI). Higher urine PCR was also associated with a lower diastolic dipping percentage by 1.33 (95% confidence interval 0.31-2.34), after adjusting for BMI, age, and estimated glomerular filtration rate.ConclusionsLimitations of this study include its retrospective design and the time lapse between urine PCR and ABPM. Proteinuria appears to be associated with blood pressure non-dipping in children. This finding needs to be confirmed in prospective studies.ImpactOur study demonstrates the association of proteinuria with non-dipping of blood pressure in children. This association has been explored in adults, but to our knowledge, this is the first time it is evaluated in children referred for evaluation of elevated blood pressure. Non-dipping is a modifiable risk factor for kidney function decline and cardiovascular disease in adulthood, and thus early identification in children is important. The association between proteinuria and non-dipping in children will allow us to more readily identify those at risk, with a future focus on interventions to modify blood pressure dipping patterns.

Abstract

BackgroundHigher urine albumin-creatinine ratio (ACR) is associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) events, an association that is stronger than that between spot urine albumin on its own and CVD. Urine creatinine excretion is correlated with muscle mass, and low muscle mass also is associated with CVD. Whether low urine creatinine concentration in the denominator of the ACR contributes to the association of ACR with CVD is uncertain.Study designProspective cohort study.Setting & participants6,770 community-living individuals without CVD.PredictorsSpot urine albumin concentration, the reciprocal of the urine creatinine concentration (1/UCr), and ACR.OutcomeIncident CVD events.ResultsDuring a mean of 7.1 years of follow-up, 281 CVD events occurred. Geometric mean values for spot urine creatinine concentration, urine albumin concentration, and ACR were 95 ± 2 (SD) mg/dL, 0.7 ± 3.7 mg/dL, and 7.0 ± 3.1 mg/g. Urine creatinine concentration was lower in older, female, and low-weight individuals. Adjusted HRs per 2-fold higher increment in each urinary measure with CVD events were similar (1/UCr: 1.07 [95% CI, 0.94-1.22]; urine albumin concentration: 1.08 [95% CI, 1.01-1.14]; and ACR: 1.11 [95% CI, 1.04-1.18]). ACR ≥10 mg/g was associated more strongly with CVD events in individuals with low weight (HR for lowest vs highest tertile: 4.34 vs 1.97; P for interaction = 0.006). Low weight also modified the association of urine albumin concentration with CVD (P for interaction = 0.06), but 1/UCr did not (P for interaction = 0.9).LimitationsWe lacked 24-hour urine data.ConclusionsAlthough ACR is associated more strongly with CVD events in persons with low body weight, this association is not driven by differences in spot urine creatinine concentration. Overall, the associations of ACR with CVD events appear to be driven primarily by urine albumin concentration and less by urine creatinine concentration.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE To determine whether interventions that slow or prevent the development of type 2 diabetes in those at risk reduce the subsequent prevalence of diabetic retinopathy. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS The Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) randomized subjects at risk for developing type 2 diabetes because of overweight/obesity and dysglycemia to metformin (MET), intensive lifestyle intervention (ILS), or placebo (PLB) to assess the prevention of diabetes. During the DPP and DPP Outcome Study (DPPOS), we performed fundus photography over time on study participants, regardless of their diabetes status. Fundus photographs were graded using the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study grading system, with diabetic retinopathy defined as typical lesions of diabetic retinopathy (microaneurysms, exudates, or hemorrhage, or worse) in either eye. RESULTS Despite reduced progression to diabetes in the ILS and MET groups compared with PLB, there was no difference in the prevalence of diabetic retinopathy between treatment groups after 1, 5, 11, or 16 years of follow-up. No treatment group differences in retinopathy were found within prespecified subgroups (baseline age, sex, race/ethnicity, baseline BMI). In addition, there was no difference in the prevalence of diabetic retinopathy between those exposed to metformin and those not exposed to metformin, regardless of treatment group assignment. CONCLUSIONS Interventions that delay or prevent the onset of type 2 diabetes in overweight/obese subjects with dysglycemia who are at risk for diabetes do not reduce the development of diabetic retinopathy for up to 20 years.

Abstract

Therapeutic plasma exchange is an extracorporeal treatment modality that removes systemic circulating pathologic factors or replaces absent plasma components and plays a role in many nephrologic conditions. It presents a number of technical challenges in the pediatric population but has become an increasingly common practice in pediatric nephrology over the past several decades. While prospective evidence is often lacking, our increased understanding of the molecular pathogenesis underlying many pediatric renal diseases provides sound reasoning for the use of plasma exchange in treating these conditions. This review will present the currently accepted indications for plasma exchange in children, the technical aspects of the procedure and its potential complications. Keywords Plasma exchange * Renal transplant * Renal Indications * FSGS * atypical HUS * TTP * AMR, Brief history of plasma exchange The first plasmapheresis procedure was reported in 1914 at Johns Hopkins University. Whole blood was manually removed from donor horses and centrifuged; the isolated erythrocytes [...]

20. Dent disease presenting with nyctalopia and electroretinographic correlates of vitamin A deficiency.

Author

Abstract

Purpose: To report a unique case of Dent Disease presenting with nyctalopia associated with vitamin A deficiency and abnormal electroretinogram findings without prior systemic symptomatology., Observations: A 16-year-old male presented with a several month history of nyctalopia and peripheral vision deficits. Central visual acuity, anterior and posterior segment examinations, and macular optical coherence tomography were unremarkable. Electroretinogram (ERG) testing revealed a rod-cone dystrophic pattern, with further workup demonstrating serum vitamin A deficiency (VAD). Laboratory evaluation revealed renal dysfunction and proteinuria with a significantly elevated urinary retinol-binding protein (RBP). Kidney biopsy showed glomerular and tubular disease.Genetic screening for inherited renal disease was performed identifying a hemizygous pathogenic variant c.2152C>T (p.Arg718*) in the Chloride Voltage-Gated Channel 5 ( CLCN5) gene, confirming the diagnosis of X-linked Dent Disease. Following vitamin A supplementation, our patient reported resolution of nyctalopia and reversal of abnormal ERG findings were demonstrated., Conclusions and Importance: To our knowledge, this is the first case in the literature describing Dent disease solely presenting with ophthalmic symptoms of nyctalopia and abnormal electroretinogram findings that later reversed with vitamin A repletion. This case stresses the importance for clinicians to consider renal tubular disorders in the differential for VAD., (© 2022 The Authors.)
