This study aimed to evaluate the incidence and risk factors of infection after renal transplantation, as well as its impact on graft function. Methods : The study included 105 children, in two groups based on the presence of infection within the first 2 years after renal transplantation. Results: In total, 137 infection episodes were found in 62 (59%) patients. The number of episodes was 20, 5 and 54 that developed in months 6, 12 and 24 after transplantation, respectively. There were 72 urinary tract infection episodes. Among patients with pulmonary infections (16.7%), two had H1N1, one of whom experienced graft loss and died of sepsis. The aspergillus infection episodes were lethal. Infection with BK virus was detected in four patients, all of whom were asymptomatic, except with decline in glomerular filtration rate. Seventeen patients developed 25 episodes of cytomegalovirus infection. Conclusions: This study established the incidence of infections and risk factors in the first 2 years after transplantation at a single center. Long-term follow-up periods and prospective studies confirming specific risk factors, preventive measures and impact on graft survival are necessary.

Nozaki, Hitomi Kimura, T. Kazama","doi":"10.14740/WJNU169E","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.14740/WJNU169E","url":null,"abstract":"Background: The efficacy and tolerability of naftopidil 75 mg administered once daily (OD) in the evening (g roup O) were compared to those of naftopidil 25 mg thrice daily (TID), given in the morning, afternoon and evening (g roup T), for lower urinary tract symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (LUTS/BPH). The factors predicting the efficacy of each dosage regimen were also examined. Methods: The participants were 101 patients with LUTS/BPH who were randomly administered naftopidil for 8 weeks in either group O or group T. Inclusion criteria were international prostate symptom score (IPSS) greater than or equal to 8 and IPSS quality of life (IPSS-QoL) greater than or equal to 3. Results: IPSS total score, IPSS-QoL and the BPH impact index were all significantly improved compared to baseline for both groups at 8 weeks after treatment. Voided volume, maximum flow rate and average flow rate were significantly improved compared to baseline only for group O at 8 weeks after treatment. The effectiveness rate based on the criteria for treatment efficacy of the Japanese clinical practice guideline for voiding dysfunction was not significantly different between the two groups. There was no independent predictive factor for the efficacy of naftopidil in group O, but prostate volume and symptom severity were identified as predictive factors in group T. The rate of adverse events was not significantly different between the two groups. Conclusions: The overall efficacy of naftopidil 75 mg/day given OD was approximately equal to that of 75 mg/day TID, but OD therapy was objectively more effective. LUTS/BPH patients with large prostate volume should be given OD therapy because the therapy is not affected by the severity of subjective symptoms or prostate volume.

This pilot study examined the effect of a 6-month combined cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and muscle strength training program on hemodialysis patients. Methods: The outcomes of interest included HRQoL as measured by Short-Form 36 version 2 (SF-36v2), cardiac depression scale, self-efficacy score, 6-minute walk distance (6MWD), physical activity and muscle strengths. Twenty-seven patients were recruited for intervention, but only eight completed the study. Results: At baseline, participants who completed intervention (CI) had a higher role emotional score (P = 0.028), role physical score (P = 0.008) and self-efficacy score (P = 0.019), compared to the participants who dropped out (ID). At the end of intervention, CI had improvements in physical functioning scores (P = 0.040) and 6MWD (P = 0.018), whereas ID had a decline in their role emotional scores (P = 0.045). Conclusions: The result of this study suggests that a combined CBT and physical training intervention can benefit hemodialysis patients, but non-adherence to therapy is common. Self- efficacy could play an important role in therapy adherence in the ESKD population.

Recently, an additional parameter, duration of acute kidney injury (AKI), might allow better prediction of in-hospital mortality. We aimed to determine if duration of AKI adds additional prognostic information in postoperative patients with AKI. Methods: The study enrolled surgical patients who were admitted to the intensive care unit. AKI cases were defined by RIFLE (risk, injury, failure, loss and end-stage renal failure) criteria and categorized according to tertiles of AKI duration: first tertile, less than 1 day; second tertile, 2 - 5 days; third tertile, greater than or equal to 6 days. The hazard ratios (HRs) for in-hospital mortality after adjust multiple covariates compared to those without AKI were recorded . The predictability of mortality was accessed by calculating the area under the curve (AUC) of receiver operating characteristic curve. Results: In total, 504 postoperative patients with 377 developed AKI (first tertile: 124 cases, second tertile: 140 cases, third tertile: 113 cases) and 127 without AKI were enrolled. The overall in-hospital mortality was 39%. The in-hospital mortality rates were 15.7% (non-AKI), 28.2% (first tertile), 55% (second tertile), and 38.3% (third tertile) as well as the HRs for in-hospital mortality were 1.632, 2.956 and 2.212 compared to non-AKI group (P = 0.201, 0.010 and 0.040). Cumulative in-hospital survival rates differed significantly for non-AKI group vs. AKI groups (first, second and third tertile) (P < 0.001 by log-rank test). The AUC of AKI duration and stage together (0.696) was higher than AKI stage alone using RIFLE criteria (0.665) (both P < 0.001). Conclusions: AKI duration was an additional predictor of in-hospital mortality in patients with postoperative acute kidney injury.

Even though there are some studies regarding the nail disorders in hemodialysis and renal transplant patients, to the best of our knowledge, no studies are present in the area of the nail disorders in the peritoneal dialysis patients. The purpose of this study was to investigate the frequencies of nail disorders in chronic renal failure (CRF) patients treated by peritoneal dialysis (PD). Material and Methods: The study group consisted of 61 CRF patients treated by PD and 61 healthy individuals were used as controls. The findings of nail examinations of patient and control groups were assessed. Results: Both the study and the control groups consisted of 37 (61%) males and 24 (39%) females each. T he most frequently observed nail disorders in patients were absent lunula (61%), vertical stripes (48.8%) and onychomycosis (26.8%). Significantly increased frequencies of absent lunula, vertical stripes, onychomycosis, color changes and pitting were determined in patients (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The frequency of nail disorders in CRF patients treated by PD is increased. This finding emphasizes the significance of nail assessment as part of physical examination in PD patients.
