RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Albuminuria is considered an early and sensitive marker of kidney dysfunction, but also an independent cardiovascular risk factor. Considering the possible relationship among metabolic liver disease, cardiovascular disease and chronic kidney disease, we aimed to evaluate the risk of developing albuminuria regarding the presence of epicardial adipose tissue and the steatotic liver disease status. METHODS: A retrospective long-term longitudinal study including 181 patients was carried out. Epicardial adipose tissue and steatotic liver disease were assessed by computed tomography. The presence of albuminuria at follow-up was defined as the outcome. RESULTS: After a median follow up of 11.2 years, steatotic liver disease (HR 3.15; 95% CI, 1.20-8.26; p = 0.02) and excess amount of epicardial adipose tissue (HR 6.12; 95% CI, 1.69-22.19; p = 0.006) were associated with an increased risk of albuminuria after adjustment for visceral adipose tissue, sex, age, weight status, type 2 diabetes, prediabetes, hypertriglyceridemia, hypercholesterolemia, arterial hypertension, and cardiovascular prevention treatment at baseline. The presence of both conditions was associated with a higher risk of developing albuminuria compared to having steatotic liver disease alone (HR 5.91; 95% CI 1.15-30.41, p = 0.033). Compared with the first tertile of visceral adipose tissue, the proportion of subjects with liver steatosis and abnormal epicardial adipose tissue was significantly higher in the second and third tertile. We found a significant correlation between epicardial fat and steatotic liver disease (rho = 0.43 [p < 0.001]). CONCLUSIONS: Identification and management/decrease of excess adiposity must be a target in the primary and secondary prevention of chronic kidney disease development and progression. Visceral adiposity assessment may be an adequate target in the daily clinical setting. Moreover, epicardial adipose tissue and steatotic liver disease assessment may aid in the primary prevention of renal dysfunction.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Multiparametric MRI provides assessment of functional and structural parameters in kidney allografts. It offers a non-invasive alternative to the current reference standard of kidney biopsy. PURPOSE: To evaluate the diagnostic and prognostic utility of MRI parameters in the assessment of allograft function in the first 3-months post-transplantation. STUDY TYPE: Prospective. SUBJECTS: 32 transplant recipients (54 ± 17 years, 20 females), divided into two groups according to estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) at 3-months post-transplantation: inferior graft function (IGF; eGFR<45 mL/min/1.73 m2 , n = 10) and superior graft function (SGF; eGFR ≥ 45 mL/min/1.73 m2 , n = 22). Further categorization was based on the need for hemodialysis (C1) and decrease in s-creatinine (C2) at 1-week post-transplantation: delayed-graft-function (DGF: n = 4 C1, n = 10 C2) and early graft-function (EGF: n = 28 C1, n = 22 C2). FIELD STRENGTH/SEQUENCE: 3-T, pseudo-continuous arterial spin labeling, T1-mapping, and diffusion-weighted imaging. ASSESSMENT: Multiparametric MRI was evaluated at 1-week in all patients and 3-months after transplantation in 28 patients. Renal blood flow (RBF), diffusion coefficients (ADC, ΔADC, D, ∆ $$ \Delta $$ D, D*, flowing fraction f), T1 and ∆ $$ \Delta $$ T1 were calculated in cortex and medulla. The diagnostic and prognostic value of these parameters, obtained at 3-months and 1-week post-transplantation, respectively, was evaluated in the cortex to discriminate between DGF and EGF, and between SGF and IGF. STATISTICAL TESTS: Logistic regression, receiver-operating-characteristics, area-under-the-curve (AUC), confidence intervals (CIs), analysis-of-variance, t-test, Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test, Fisher's exact test, Pearson's correlation. P-value<0.05 was considered significant. RESULTS: DGF patients exhibited significantly lower cortical RBF and f and higher D*. The diagnostic value of MRI for detecting DGF was excellent (AUC = 100%). Significant differences between patients with IGF and SGF were found in RBF, ∆T1 , and ∆D. Multiparametric MRI showed higher diagnostic (AUC = 95.32%; CI: 88%-100%) and prognostic (AUC = 97.47%, CI: 92%-100%) values for detecting IGF than eGFR (AUC = 89.50%, CI: 79%-100%). DATA CONCLUSION: Multiparametric MRI may show high diagnostic and prognostic value in transplanted patients, yielding better results compared to eGFR measurements. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 2 TECHNICAL EFFICACY: Stage 1.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Iodinated contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) is a common cause of renal failure, especially in patients with risk factors. This study analyses different renal biomarkers in patients undergoing computed tomography scans with iodinated contrast to identify the molecular and cellular mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of CI-AKI. METHODOLOGY: Prospective study that included patients with high risk of renal disease who received iodinated contrast (iohexol) for the computed tomography scans. Functional biomarkers (creatinine and cystatin C), inflammatory and oxidative stress markers (neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin [NGAL], interleukin-8 [IL-8], superoxide dismutase [SOD], F2-isoprostanes, and cardiotrophin-1), and cell cycle biomarkers (Nephrocheck®) were analysed before the iodinated contrast and 4, 12, 24, and 48 hours post-contrast, in relation to the incidence of IC-AKI. RESULTS: IC-AKI was observed in 30.6% of the 62 study participants and in 57.1% of the patients with diabetes and renal dysfunction. Factors associated with IC-AKI were a higher mean age (74.4 vs 64.9 years), pre-existing renal dysfunction (60 vs 16.7%), and higher adjusted mean volume of iohexol (42.9 vs 32.1%). As for non-functional biomarkers. No differences were found between patients with and without CI-AKI. The use of iodinated contrast was associated with a decrease in SOD antioxidant activity at 4 hours and an increase in IL-8 at 12 hours post-administration of the iodinated contrast. CONCLUSIONS: Administration of iohexol in computed tomography scans in patients with high risk of renal disease results in an elevated percentage of CI-AKI, attributable to ischemia/reperfusion injury and/or direct toxicity of the iodinated contrast.
