Glomerulopatí del trasplante. Resultados clínicos y seguimiento de casos.

OBJECTIVE: We describe the evolution of graft function in patients with transplant glomerulopathy measure by levels of serum creatinine, proteinuria and estimated glomerular filtration rate. METHOD: Cross-sectional study conducted in the Regional General Hospital No. 46 IMSS. Included patients with kidney allograft and diagnosis of renal biopsy of transplant glomerulopathy grafting between January 1, 2006 to April 31, 2013 serum creatinine, proteinuria and estimated glomerular filtration rate at diagnosis, 6, 12 and 24 was recorded months. The results are shown with numbers, percentages and standard deviations. RESULTS: 42 patients were included. At 6 months of diagnosis, 14% decline in graft function and 7.1% graft loss. At 12 months, 17.9% graft loss, and at 24 months 36.3% had chronic graft dysfunction and graft loss as return to dialysis. CONCLUSIONS: Evolution in our patients seems to be better to other series of cases reported in the literature.

[Epidemiology of glomerular disease in adults: a database review]. / Epidemiología de la enfermedad glomerular en adultos. Revisión de una base de datos.

INTRODUCTION: Glomerular disease is among the top ten leading causes of death in Mexico. AIM: To assess the frequency of glomerulopathy in western Mexico in a Regional Hospital belonging of the Instituto Mexicano Del Seguro Social. METHODS: Single hospital center retrospective analysis. We reviewed all native kidney biopsies between January 2003 and December 2011, in patients more than 16 years old, to establish clinical features, presentation, and histological report. RESULTS: A total of 163 reports were analyzed; patients with a mean age of 32.6 ± 13.3 years, 55% female, 24% had systemic arterial hypertension, and 10% with a family history of chronic renal failure. The most frequent types of primary glomerulonephritis were focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) in 47% of cases, followed by membranous nephropathy in 15%. The most frequent types of secondary glomerulonephritis were lupus nephritis in 14%, followed by diabetic nephropathy in 4% and amyloidosis in 1.2%. CONCLUSION: Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis is the most frequent type of glomerulopathy in our population; we observed a minor percentage of Inmunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy compared with worldwide reports. This information is a contribution to the understanding of the prevalence of glomerulopathy in western Mexico.

[Frequency of peritoneal transport in a population of the Hospital General Regional No. 46, Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social]. / Frecuencia de los tipos de transporte peritoneal en la población del Hospital General Regional N.º 46 del Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social.

BACKGROUND: The peritoneal equilibration test (PET) is a common test used in the adequacy of peritoneal dialysis (PD). AIM: To determine the frequency of presentation of different types of peritoneal transport in patients on PD ranking with Twardowski, Instituto Nacional de Ciencias Médicas y Nutrición Salvador Zubirán (INCMNSZ) and Hospital de Especialidades del Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social Centro Médico Nacional de Occidente (IMSS-HE, CMNO) and establish themselves. METHODS: Descriptive and transversal study. Included with PET on PD patients between April 2011 to September 2012; any gender, 16 years or older, in DP minimum of 4 weeks. PEP performed standardized bags of 2.5%. RESULTS: Performed 235 PET. We can classify peritoneal transport with Twardowski in high (H) 34%, high average (HA) 37%, low average (LA) 25%, and low (L) 4% peritoneal transport rates. INCMNSZ percentages H was 34%, HA 32%, LA 23%, and L 11%; using the CMNO HE was H 26%, HA 31%, LA 31%, and L 12%. From our data, the percentage of patients with H was 22%, HA 33%, LA 32%, and L13%. CONCLUSION: Classifying patients according to type of transport with Twardowski will under-diagnose the low and overestimate high transport, and can alter survival forecasts.
