MATErIAl and METhOdS: A total of 20 patients who underwent kidney biopsy and diagnosed as MN between 2005 and 2014 were included in this study. Patients were divided into two groups based on to C4d staining degrees and patterns. Those two groups were compared according to their demographical features, clinical follow-up, laboratory follow-up and histopathological findings. rESulTS: The percentage of segmental sclerosis (p=0.017), deposition of immunoglobulin A (p=0.044), and kappa and lambda proteins (p=0.029, p=0.049 respectively) were associated significantly with the negative-mild degree C4d staining group. Staining in a global pattern was statistically associated with intermediate-severe degree of C4d staining (p=0.001). The C4d staining patterns of the patients were then scored (segmental pattern one point, global pattern two point) and multiplied by the degree of C4d staining. The score of segmental/global pattern of staining factor was significantly higher within the intermediate-severe degree of C4d staining group (p<0.01). CONCluSION: Association of the global pattern and intermediate-severe degree of C4d staining suggests that immune deposition is more prevalent within the global pattern in primary MN. kEY wOrdS: C4d, Membranous nephropathy, Kidney injury","PeriodicalId":42328,"journal":{"name":"Turkish Nephrology Dialysis and Transplantation Journal","volume":"26 1","pages":"290-297"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43976730","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}

In this retrospective study, we aimed to analyze the clinical aspects, responsible microorganisms, treatments, and clinical outcomes in HD patients with metastatic infection MATERIAL and METHODS: Metastatic infection was defined as infection that occurs at a location physically separate from the portal of entry of the bacteria. We identified 21 metastatic infections in 19 HD patients at our hospital from December 2010 through November 2016. RESULTS: The mean age was 66.4 ± 15.7 years. Twelve (63.2%) of the 19 patients were female whereas 7 (36.8%) patients were male. Type of vascular access was tunneled cuffed permanent catheter in 15 (78.9%) and arteriovenous fistula in 4 (21.1%) patients. The most common type of metastatic infection was spondylodiscitis. In the majority of these patients, the responsible infectious agents were Gram-positive microorganisms including S. epidermidis and S. aureus. The clinical outcome in the majority of the patients was complete recovery. Two patients died due to metastatic infection. CONCLUSION: Metastatic infection in HD patients, especially those with a tunneled cuffed permanent catheter, is a serious complication, which may result in the patient’s death. Gram-positive microorganisms are responsible for the majority of cases with metastatic infection.

Bu geriye dönük çalışmada, biz metastatik enfeksiyonu olan HD hastalarında klinik görünümleri, sorumlu mikroorganizmaları, tedavileri ve klinik sonuçları analiz etmeyi amaçladık. GEREÇ ve yÖNTEMLER: Metastatik enfeksiyon bakterinin giriş noktasından fiziksel olarak ayrı bir bölgede meydana gelen enfeksiyon olarak tanımlandı. Bizim hastanemizde Aralık 2010 ile Kasım 2016 tarihleri arasında 19 HD hastasında 21 metastatik enfeksiyon tespit edildi. BULGULAR: Ortalama yaş 66.4 ± 15.7 yıldı. On dokuz hastanın 12’si (%63.2) kadın, 7’si (%36.8) erkekti. Damara ulaşım yolunun türü 15 (%78.9) hastada tünelli keçeli kalıcı kateter ve 4 (%21.1) hastada arteriyovenöz fistüldü. En sık görülen metastatik enfeksiyon türü spondilodiskitti. Hastaların çoğunda sorumlu enfeksiyon ajanları S. epidermitis and S. aureus gibi Gram-pozitif mikroorganizmalardı. Hastaların çoğunda klinik sonuç tam iyileşme idi. İki hasta metastatik enfeksiyon nedeniyle kaybedildi. SONUÇ: Özellikle tünelli keçeli kalıcı kateteri olan HD hastalarında metastatik enfeksiyon ciddi bir komplikasyondur ve hastanın kaybedilmesine neden olabilir. Gram-pozitif mikroorganizmalar metastatik enfeksiyonlu olguların çoğundan sorumludur.
