Three clinical trials using angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARB), planned specifically to monitor the progression of renal damage, have been recently published. They showed better renal protection by ARB, as compared with placebo or calcium channel blockers (CCB), beyond or independently of the BP reduction. Nevertheless, these recent trials, like the previous ones with similar results, invariably demonstrate slightly better control of BP in the groups of the active drug. Another issue is that the vast majority of the patients need so many nonstudy drugs to keep their pressure under control, that the isolation of advantageous effects of certain drugs seems unrealistic.</span></p></div>","PeriodicalId":100433,"journal":{"name":"EMC - Néphrologie","volume":"2 4","pages":"Pages 182-193"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.emcnep.2005.09.001","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72272111","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Infections are generally due to bacteria during the first post-transplant month (wound, pulmonary, urinary infections) and to opportunistic agents from month 2 to month 6 post-transplant : viruses (herpes-virus particularly cytomegalovirus (CMV), bacteria (nocardia, listeria, mycobacteria) of fungi (candida, pneuymocyistis carinii). After month 6, urinary and pulmonary infections are frequent and those recipients with over-immunosuppression and/or unsatisfactory graft function may experience opportunistic infections. Since the availability of antiviral drugs, particularly ganciclovir used for prophylaxis or treatment of CMV infection, the incidence and the severity of viral diseases had significantly decreased. However, due to higher efficacy of new immunosuppressive drugs, “new” viral infections (polyomavirus, parvovirus, west-nile virus) had emerged in the transplant population. BK virus nephropathy is now a new cause of graft dysfunction. Maligrances occur much more frequently in the transplant than in the general population ; twenty ears post-transplant, incidence of cancer may be as high as 40 %. The main cause of cancer in the transplant population is chronic replication of oncogenic viruses promoted by immunosuppression. In fact, the most frequent malignancies are skin cancers due to papillomaviruses, post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorders (PTLD) due to Epstein-Barr virus, Kaposi sarcoma associated with HHV-8 and hepatocarcinomas associated with B or C hepatitis viruses. In HHV-8 or EBV donor positive/recipient negative pairs, regular monitoring of viremia should provide a mean of detecting patients at risk of developing Kaposi sarcoma or PTLD in order to prevent malignancies.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100433,"journal":{"name":"EMC - Néphrologie","volume":"2 4","pages":"Pages 158-181"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.emcnep.2005.09.002","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72272080","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is manifested as a slowly progressive renal failure that may eventually lead to end-stage renal failure. It is considered responsible for more than 20% of patients entering dialysis in the United States. In fact, nephrosclerosis is relatively frequent in the Afro-American population, but it seems very rare in other groups. Hypertension results in vascular, glomerular, then interstitial lesions of the kidney. Hypertensive renal damage is more pronounced when systemic blood pressure is transmitted to the glomerular circulation, due to altered self-regulation. The frequency of nephrosclerosis is obviously overestimated, due to the lack of renal biopsy; moreover the precession of hypertension on renal disease is rarely established. Doubt has been cast on this concept. The alternative hypothesis is that the primary abnormality is renal, mostly congenital, and responsible for the elevation of blood pressure. Blood pressure and renal injury are then engaged in a vicious circle, aggravating each other. Anyway, lowering blood pressure is the only therapeutic measure able to stop the self-aggravation loop. Some antihypertensive drugs, especially those inhibiting the renin angiotensin system, have a direct action on renal haemodynamics, and seem to be nephroprotective beyond the lowering of blood pressure.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100433,"journal":{"name":"EMC - Néphrologie","volume":"2 3","pages":"Pages 103-124"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.emcnep.2005.07.001","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"137291530","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
