ABSTRACT
Today by the e-health and the telemedicine, many people are more and more interested by the improvement of disease knowledge on cardiovascular diseases and associated risk factors, personalized self management support follow-up and e-Health monitoring. MGEN is a not-for-profit complementary health insurance gave itself the ways to use the new digital tools in health. MGEN developed an original and personalized program VIVOPTIM for the primary prevention of the cardiovascular risks for their members. The VIVOPTIM Pilot program is based upon digital services and was experimented by November 2015 to December, 2017 with 8000 members of the MGEN, from 30 to 70 years old and resident in two French areas (Occitanie and Bourgogne Franche-Comté). The assessment of the experiment VIVOPTIM e -health program was positive for the personalized cardiovascular support and for their health. Therefore, the MGEN generalized the VIVOPTIM program of cardiovascular prevention, to the whole France on July 11th, 2018.

We report the case of an association of IgA nephropathy and tuberculosis with superimposed vasculitis lesions on the renal biopsy. Three previous cases of the same association are discussed. The nephropathy had a favorable course in all of these cases on antituberculous treatment only. Tuberculosis is another infection related to IgA nephropathy.

We report the third case in the literature of a patient with a long-lasting renal allograft who experienced tuberculosis just after the switch from azathioprine to mycophenolate mofetil. The switch was likely responsible for the reactivation of dormant tuberculosis; prophylactic antituberculous treatment should be considered in cases of such a therapeutic change.

World Health Organization statistics identify 150 million people with diabetes mellitus worldwide and suggest that this figure may double by 2025. In countries with a western lifestyle, the number of patients admitted for renal replacement therapy with diabetes as a co-morbid condition has increased significantly up to three to four times in a period of 10 years. Diabetes and renal failure are thus tightly linked diseases, and so is anemia. However, whether anemia may be worsened and/or directly, at least in part, caused by diabetes is not clearly elucidated yet. In this article, we review the prevalence, pathophysiology and consequences of anemia in diabetic patients.

HIV patients are at a high risk for nephrotoxicity (HIV-induced nephrotoxicity, HIVAN). As a result, renal insufficiency, tubular dysfunction and renal-related biological disorders are frequently observed in those patients. However, in some cases those defects or anomalies in renal function may be related to antiviral therapies rather than the disease itself. This article reviews the incidence, presentation, prevention and management of antiviral drug-induced renal dysfunction.
