Objective To assess the possible causes of acute pancreatitis (AP) in long term peritoneal dialysis (PD) and hemodialysis (HD) patients, and to discuss the diagnosis and treatment of AP in this kind of patients. Methods The clinical data of 9 cases of AP in PD and HD patients who were admitted in the hospital during January 1993 and January 2000 were analysed retrospectively. Results The serum levels of amylase of all the 9 cases were over three and a half times of upper limit value of healthy subjects. B mode ultrasound and CT scan examinations were useful for diagnosis of AP. Eight patients recovered very well with conservative treatment, while one patient who was diagnosed as acute severe pancreatitis and complicated with shock died. Conclusion Long term PD and HD patients are predisposing to develop AP. Diagnosis of AP in these patients primarily depends on the detection of serum amylase. Dialysis treatment is indispensable for cure of AP.
Objective To investigate the value of continuous blood purification （CBP）in early treatment of patients with ARDSexp （ARDS caused by extrapulmonary causes），especially in reducing inflammation mediators and extravascular lung water （EVLW）.Methods According the hospital admission sequence，the patients with APACHEⅡ scores from 15 to 20 and PaO2/FiO2 from 100 to 200 were recruited.The ARDSexp patients were divide into an intervention group treated with CBP （Mode：CVVHDF，rate of displacement liquid and dialysate：1.5 L/h，rate of blood：100-200 mL/h，and the time of CBP：72 hours），and a control group without CBP treatment. The NICO and PICCO monitoring data and the survival rates were recorded and analyzed using the SPSS software. Results The mortality rate of the intervention group was lower than that of the control group （6.3% vs. 36.8%，P=0.032）. In the 72 h monitoring dada of NICO and PICCO，the time of improving PCBF，Pm，Cdyn，VCO2，MValv，Pm，PIP，Raw，RSBI，Vd/Vt，and PaO2/FiO2 of the intervention group was severer than those in the control group，and the severety was also more than that of control group which was was significantly different at 72 h（Plt;0.05）. In the PICCO data，the time of decreasing EVWL and PVPI was shorter than the control group，and the decreasing extent was more than the control group，with significant difference at 72 h. But the changes of Apm，CI，and CVP were not significant （Pgt;0.05）. Conclusions In treatment of ARDSexp patients，CBP therapy can induce the PCBC and EVLW，improve pulmonary compliance and MValv，and reduce the mortality rate，while doesn’t influence heart function and the stability of circulation.
Objective To summarize our experience of cardiovascular surgery for patients dependent on dialysis, and evaluate its safety and efficacy.?Methods?Clinical data of 10 consecutive patients dependent on maintenance dialysis underwent cardiovascular operations between Dec. 2004 and April 2011 in Peking Union Medical College Hospital were analyzed retrospectively. There were 6 male and 4 female patients, aged between 23 to 71 （57.6±13.2） years. They were put on dialysis 3-98 （25.2±30.6） months prior to operation due to diabetic nephropathy in 6 patients, chronic glomerulitis in 3 patients and systemic lupus erythemus in 1 patient, and 8 were dependent on hemodialysis and 2 on peritoneal dialysis. Five patients underwent coronary artery bypass grafting, one underwent Bentall procedure，two underwent aortic valve replacement, one underwent mitral valve replacement, and one underwent superior vena cava thrombectomy and patch repair. Patients underwent dialysis on the day before elective operation, followed by continuous ultra-filtration during cardiopulmonary bypass, and then bedside heparin-free continuous veno-venous hyperfiltration-dialysis started 5-32 hours after the operation. Conventional peritoneal dialysis or hemodialysis was resumed 4-7 days after operation.?Results?All operations were successfully completed. Cardiopulmonary bypass time was （125.8±33.5）minutes, aortic clamp time was（77.2±25.5） minutes. One in-hospital death occurred due to septic shock after deep chest wound infection. One patient underwent re-exploration due to pericardial temponade to achieve hemostasis. Three patients experienced atrial fibrillation and were all converted to sinus rhythm by amiodarone. Nine patients recovered to discharge and were followed-up for 8-76 months. Two late deaths occurred due to intracranial hemorrhage and liver carcinoma respectively. Seven survived patients were all in New York Heart Association grade II functional class, and none of them experience major advertent cardiac events related to grafts or prosthetic valve. One patient switched to hemodialysis 14 months after discharge due to peritonitis.Conclusion?Cardiovascular surgery can be practiced in patients dependent on maintenance hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis with appropriate peri-operative management, so that symptoms can be relieved and quality of life improved.
Objective To investigate the clinical application of fistulation of artery and vein with self-blood vessel transplantation. Methods Seven patients with renal failure were given antebrachial fistulation of artery and veinwith great saphenous veins of themselves. The ortho- and pachy-great saphenous vein was chosed after it was cut. The great saphenous vein was passed bridge inside forearm in straight line or morpha-U. The method was anastomosis of the radial artery or brachial artery and cephalic vein, basilic vein or median cubital vein. Results The fistulations of artery and vein were successfuland all patients were in hemodialysis regularly. Conclusion The fistulation of artery andvein with selfblood vessel transplantation is a convenient, easy, cheap operation. It can coincide with the clinical demand and be used to make up the failureof fistulation or the fistulation that there is no blood vessel in the forearm.
OBJECTIVE To investigate the clinical application of artificial blood vessel graft for arteriovenous fistulization. METHODS From October 1995 to August 1998, 23 cases with renal failure received PTEF artificial vessels grafting for arteriovenous fistulization in the forearm. The PTFE artificial vessel was 6 mm in diameter, and 40 cm in length. Artificial vessel "U"-shaped loop was formed from elbow incision to wrist incision, and perfused by 20 ml heparin saline. The two ends of artificial vessel were end-to-side anastomosed with superficial cubital vein and cubital artery respectively. RESULTS All of arteriovenous fistulas were successfully formed, and could be performed hemodialysis periodically. The artificial vessels could be punctured repeatedly, and had sufficient volume of blood flow. It had no rejection, no formation of false aneurysm, and no ischemia in arm or exacerbated reflux to heart. CONCLUSION The artificial vessel grafting for arteriovenous fistulization is a safe and convenient technique in clinical practice, especially when there is no autogenous vessels for arteriovenous fistula.
Objective To assess the efficacy and safety of Lanthanum Carbonate for hyperparathyroidism in dialysis patients. Methods We searched MEDLINE (1996 to April 2006); EMBASE (1996 to April 2006); Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (Issue 1, 2006); CBM disc; VIP and CNKI. We also checked the references of relevant studies. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing Lanthanum Carbonate with placebo and standard therapy were eligible for inclusion. Quality assessment and data extraction were done by two reviewers independently. Meta-analysis was conducted using The Cochrane Collaboration’s RevMan 4.2.8. Results Six RCTs were included. Lanthanum Carbonate was found to be more effective than placebo in treating hyperparathyroidism of dialysis patients (OR 4.74, 95%CI 2.66 to 8.45; Plt;0.0001) and the incidence of all drug-related adverse events was similar between Lanthanum Carbonate and placebo-treated group (OR 1.23, 95%CI 0.74 to 2.04; P=0.42). The meta-analysis also showed that the efficacy of treating hyperparathyroidism of dialysis patients was similar between Lanthanum Carbonate and conventional phosphate binders (OR 0.97, 95%CI 0.74 to 1.27; P=0.81) and the incidence of all drug-related adverse events was also similar (OR 1.29, 95%CI 0.62 to 2.47; P=0.49). However, serum calcium level was lower in the Lanthanum Carbonate group than in the conventional phosphate binders group. Conclusion Lanthanum Carbonate is effective and well-tolerated in treating hyperparathyroidism of dialysis patients with end-stage renal disease(ESRD). The incidence of hypercalcemia induced by Lanthanum Carbonate is significantly lower than that of the conventional phosphate binders. However, more large-scale, randomized, double-blinded trials are required to investigate the long-term safety and efficacy of Lanthanum Carbonate.
Objective To assess the cost-utility study of renal transplantation compared with nemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD). Methods A prospective study of end-stage renal disease patients was followed up for 3 months after renal replacement therapy. The study population included 196 patients (renal transplant [RT] n=63, hemodialysis [HD] n=82 and continious ambulatory peritoneal dialysis [CAPD] n=51) from 6 hospitals of Sichuan province. Health-related quality of life was assessed by using the WHOQOL-BRIEF questionnaire. Utility scores were obtained so as to conduct CUA (cost-utility analysis). Costs were collected from financial department and by patient interview. Results The utility values were 0.539 9± 0.013 for RT, 0.450 8± 0.014 for HD, 0.512 2±0.099 for CAPD, respectively. The mean direct cost of the first three months of renal transplant was significantly higher than dialysis (RT and CAPD). Over 3 months, the average cost per quality-adjusted life year (QALY) for patients after CAPD was lower than HD and RT. Compared to HD, incremental cost analysis showed that CAPD was more ecnomical than RT. Sensitive analysis showed that CAPD was more effective than RT when ΔQALY varied in the limit of 95% confidence interval. However, the cost-utility of RT vs HD and CAPD vs HD was varied with ΔQALY level. Conclusions Cost-utility analysis showed that CAPD was a more favorable cost-utility ratio when compared to RT at early stage RT vs HD and CAPD vs HD, but which cost-utility ratio is better, we can not draw a certain conclusion.
