ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: Kidney transplant (KT) is the most common solid organ transplantation in the world. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the information from Mexico on KT, waiting lists (WL) and patients on dialysis between 2012 and 2019 and compare that of 2019 with those of the countries of the American Continent, Spain and Portugal. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The required information was obtained from the Global Observatory on Organ Donation and Transplantation (GODT). RESULTS: Between 2012 and 2019, the annual number of kidney transplants (KTs) in Mexico increased by 12.5%, while the WL by December 31 of each year did it by 86.1%. In 2019, Spain and the US reported the highest KT rates, while Mexico ranked 8th in the Pan-American and Iberian comparison, 6th in the American Continent and 4th in Latin America. Mexico did not report to GODT the number of patients on dialysis in 2019 and 2018. CONCLUSIONS: KTs should be considered an integral part of renal replacement therapies. The GODT reports include the numbers of patients on dialysis for each country. Mexico does not always report this data, probably due to the lack of a national registry of chronic kidney disease, the creation of which should be supported.
ANTECEDENTES: El trasplante renal (TR) es el trasplante de órgano sólido más frecuente en el mundo. OBJETIVO: Analizar la información de México sobre TR, listas de espera (LE) y pacientes en diálisis entre 2012-2019 y comparar la del año 2019 con la de los países del continente americano, España y Portugal. MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS: La información requerida se obtuvo del Global Observatory on Organ Donation and Transplantation (GODT). RESULTADOS: Entre 2012-2019 en México el número anual de trasplantes renales (TR) se incrementó en un 12.5%, mientras que la LE al 31 de diciembre de cada año lo hizo en un 86.1%. En 2019, España y EE.UU. reportaron las tasas más altas de TR, mientras que México ocupó el 8.° lugar en la comparativa panamericana e ibérica, 6.° en el Continente Americano y 4.° en América Latina. México no reportó al GODT el número de pacientes en diálisis en 2019 y 2018. CONCLUSIONES: Los TR deben considerarse parte integral de las terapias de reemplazo renal. Los reportes del GODT incluyen las cifras de pacientes en diálisis de cada país. México no siempre reporta este dato, probablemente por carecer de un registro nacional de enfermedad renal crónica, cuya creación debe apoyarse.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study is to ascertain the most relevant aspects of the current management of renal replacement therapy (RRT) in critically ill patients, and to analyze renal function recovery and mortality in patients undergoing RRT. METHODS: A non-interventional three-month observational study was made in 2012, with a follow-up period of 90 days, in 21 centers in Catalonia (Spain). Demographic information, severity scores and clinical data were obtained, as well as RRT parameters. INCLUSION CRITERIA: patients aged ≥ 16 years admitted to Intensive Care Units (ICUs) and subjected to RRT. RESULTS: A total of 261 critically ill patients were recruited, of which 35% had renal dysfunction prior to admission. The main reason for starting RRT was oliguria; the most widely used RRT modality was hemodiafiltration; and the median prescribed dose at baseline was 35mL/kg/h. The median time of RRT onset from ICU admission was one day. The mortality rate at 30 and 90 days was 46% and 54%, respectively, and was associated to greater severity scores and a later onset of RRT. At discharge, 85% of the survivors had recovered renal function. CONCLUSIONS: Current practice in RRT in Catalonia abides with the current clinical practice guidelines. Mortality related to RRT is associated to later onset of such therapy. The renal function recovery rate at hospital discharge was 85% among the patients subjected to RRT.

Resumen: Introducción: La hiperamonemia neonatal secundaria a errores congénitos del metabolismo es una entidad poco frecuente pero con una alta tasa de secuelas neurológicas y mortalidad. El manejo médico inicial es en muchas ocasiones insuficiente para detener el progresivo aumento de la amonemia, con el consecuente deterioro del paciente. Por esta razón se han implementado técnicas depurativas entre las que se cuenta la diálisis peritoneal, la hemodiálisis intermitente y las terapias de reemplazo renal continuo (TRRC). Objetivo: Describir nuestra experiencia en diálisis extracorpórea continua en pacientes con hiperamonemia neonatal gravemente enfermos. Pacientes y Método: Revisión retrospectiva de fichas clínicas de neonatos con hiperamonemias secundarias a errores congénitos del metabolismo sometidos a TRRC, admitidos en nuestra institución en los últimos 6 años. Se obtuvieron datos demográficos, edad cronológica y gestacional, género; datos antropométricos y de laboratorio (creatininemia, amonemia) e índice de gravedad por PIM-II. Se analizó la TRRC utilizada: modalidad, duración y complicaciones. El inicio de la terapia dependió de la respuesta al manejo médico en las primeras 24 horas, compromiso neurológico progresivo, o cifras de amonio sanguíneo elevados (> 400 μg/dl) al momento del ingreso. Las TRRC fueron realizadas con la máquina Prisma Flex, usando filtros M100 y/o HF20. Resultados: 6 neonatos, 4 varones, la mitad con antecedentes de prematurez, todos con compromiso neurológico agudo severo y amonemias en rango grave (> 1.000 μg/dl). La edad y peso promedio al iniciar la TRRC fueron de 10 días y 2.798 g respectivamente, amonemia (mediana) 1.663 μg/dl (rango 1.195-3.097). El puntaje PIM-II tuvo una mediana de 53 (rango 13,4-87,4). En promedio, los pacientes estuvieron 49,5 h en la terapia continua. En cuatro neonatos se usó una técnica dialítica mixta convectiva y difusiva (hemodiafiltración), y solo convectiva (hemofiltración) en las 2 restantes. La mortalidad fue de 33%, y uno de los sobrevivientes quedó con daño neurológico moderado permanente en seguimiento clínico. Conclusiones: Los resultados obtenidos en este grupo de neonatos extremadamente graves nos incentivan a proponer esta terapia dialítica como una excelente alternativa en el manejo de este tipo de pacientes.
Abstract: Introduction: Neonatal hyperammonemia secondary due to inborn errors of metabolism is a rare condition with a high rate of neurological sequelae and mortality. Initial medical management is often insufficient to stop the progressive increase of ammonia, with the consequent deterioration of the patient. For this reason, depurative techniques have been implemented, including peritoneal dialysis, intermittent hemodialysis and continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). Objective: To describe our experience with continuous extracorporeal dialysis in severely ill neonates with hyperammonemia. Patients and Methods: Retrospective review of clinical records of neonates with hyperammonemia due to congenital errors of metabolism undergoing CRRT admitted in our institution in the last 6 years. Demographic data, chronological and gestational age, gender, anthropometric and laboratory data (creatininemia, ammonemia), and severity index PIM-II where collected. It was analyzed the CRRT: modality, duration and complications. The stard of therapy depended on the response to medical management in the first 24 hours, progressive neurological involvement, or increased blood ammonia (> 400 qg/dl) at the time of admission. CRRTs were performed using the Prisma Flex system and M100 and/or HF20 filters. Results: 6 neonates, 4 males, half of them with a history of prematurity, all with severe acute neurological involvement and severe ammonemias (> 1,000 qg/dl). The average age and weight at the start of the CRRT were 10 days and 2798 g, respectively, ammonia (median) 1,663 qg/dl (range 1,195 - 3,097). The PIM-II score had a median of 53 (range 13.4 - 87.4). On average, patients were 49.5 hours in continuous therapy. In four neonates, a mixed convective and diffusive technique (hemodiafiltration) was used, and only convective one (hemofiltration) in the 2 remaining. Mortality was 33%, and one of the survivors had permanent moderate neurological damage in clinical follow-up. Conclusions: The results obtained in this extremely ill group of neonates encourage us to propose this dialytic therapy as an excellent alternative in the management of this type of patients.
