Dextran sulfate adsorption of LDL (DSAL) is widely used for this purpose. The Liposorber LA-15 system performs DSAL by membrane plasma separation (mDSAL) using an MA-03 plasma purification device. However, sufficient blood flow (Qb) frequently cannot be obtained from a peripheral vein with mDSAL. The recommended plasma filtration flow rate (Qf) when using the OP-05W membrane plasma separator is no more than 1/3 of Qb, giving plasma removal efficiency (PRE) of about 30%. In contrast, the centrifugal blood component separator Spectra Optia has PRE of 87-92.5% because centrifugal separation enables effective separation of plasma components even at low Qb. Here, we present the case of a man in his 40s with FSGS, for whom we began treatment with mDSAL with the intention of completing a 12-session cycle, but extended treatment times were required due to low Qb. Therefore, we switched to DSAL by centrifugation (cDSAL) using the Liposorber LA-40 system from the 6th session onward. Treatment time decreased from 190 min for the fifth session using mDSAL to 140 min for the sixth session using cDSAL. Mean treatment time also decreased from 155 ± 9 min for mDSAL (5 sessions) to 119 ± 20 min for cDSAL (7 sessions). Moreover, the LDL removal rate at a processed plasma volume was similar for both modalities. In conclusion, cDSAL can enable efficient plasma separation even with low Qb, with a comparable LDL removal rate and shorter treatment time relative to mDSAL.","PeriodicalId":9599,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Nephrology and Dialysis","volume":"13 1","pages":"51-56"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/8e/73/cnd-2023-0013-0001-531097.PMC10359670.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10221935","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We report two cases of anti-glomerular basement membrane (GBM) disease in previously healthy females after Oxford-AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine (ChAdOx1 nCoV-19). The first case was a 69-year-old female who developed lethargy and anuria approximately 8 weeks after her first dose of Oxford-AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine. The second case was a 72-year-old female who developed malaise and diarrhoea approximately 3 weeks after her second dose of Oxford-AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine. Both cases had severe acute kidney injury, raised anti-GBM antibody titres, and renal biopsies consistent with anti-GBM disease. Both cases were commenced on haemodialysis and treated with high dose glucocorticoids, cyclophosphamide, and plasmapheresis. Neither patient had recovery of renal function, and both remain dialysis dependent. These cases add to the previously reported cases of anti-GBM disease after mRNA COVID-19 vaccination. As more COVID-19 vaccinations are administered worldwide, it would be important for clinicians to be aware of this possible association, and continued surveillance is warranted.","PeriodicalId":9599,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Nephrology and Dialysis","volume":" ","pages":"234-237"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/10/9e/cnd-0012-0234.PMC9710461.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"35343448","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Subcutaneous (SC) semaglutide (Ozempic®) is a GLP-1RA with an extended half-life of approximately 1 week. GLP-1RA are highly effective in improving glycemic control and also show other beneficial effects such as increased natriuresis; decreased blood pressure and albuminuria; reduction of oxidative stress and inflammation; delay of gastric emptying and suppress appetite; the latter may result in significant weight loss. GLP-1RA can be used in patients with advanced-stage CKD; the European Medicines Agency has approved the use of all commercially available human GLP-1 analogs up to a minimal eGFR of 15 mL/min/1.73 m2. However, studies of safety and use of these agents in renal replacement therapy are scarce. Therefore, herein we present 3 cases of patients with advanced DKD in maintenance incremental hemodialysis with 1 session per week to describe the efficacy and safety of the SC semaglutide treatment and the favorable effects on glycemic control, lowering HbA1c, albuminuria, weight, blood pressure control, and preservation of residual kidney function (RKF) during a 6-month follow-up in a hospital hemodialysis unit in Spain. These effects could produce an improvement in morbidity and mortality and could also prevent albuminuria and preserve the RKF. This may allow our patients to maintain a weekly hemodialysis session and could facilitate their inclusion in the kidney transplant waiting lists.","PeriodicalId":9599,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Nephrology and Dialysis","volume":" ","pages":"238-247"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/ff/21/cnd-0012-0238.PMC9710441.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"35253168","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In renal biopsy, the preglomerular vessels showed segmental wall hyalinosis in the sense of low-grade nephrosclerosis, and glomerular capillaries with slightly but diffusely thickened, non-split basal membranes on electron microscopy. Notable were irregularly deformed, different dense erythrocytes in the glomerular capillaries, and several tubular lumina. The suspicion of erythrocytic enzyme deficiency could be confirmed. The enzyme activities of the erythrocytes were predominantly normal or slightly increased; only the activity of triosephosphate isomerase, a critical key enzyme of glycolysis, was reduced to 71% (resp. 57%) of the normal level, compatible with a heterozygous carrier status that could not be found. Patients with genomic triosephosphate-isomerase deficiency have degraded enzyme activities in virtually all tissues, such as leucocytes, platelets, and muscle cells. An association with neuromuscular symptoms is also known. Thus, it is possible that smooth muscle and intrarenal vascular spasms trigger clinical symptoms consisting of flank pain and phases of macrohaematuria. An aspirin-like defect (thrombocytopathy) had previously been found in connection with epistaxis (also due to TPI deficiency?). Enalapril treatment drastically reduced the frequency of macrohaematuria and pain attacks decreased to a lesser extent.","PeriodicalId":9599,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Nephrology and Dialysis","volume":" ","pages":"226-233"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/ad/f8/cnd-0012-0226.PMC9710468.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"35253171","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
