ObjectiveTo discuss the relationship between microalbuminuria (MAU) and antioxidant activity of plasma hyper density lipoprotein (HDL) in hypertensive patients, and investigate whether MAU could be a predictor of HDL antioxidant activity. MethodFrom December 2007 to March 2009, sixty consecutive primary hypertensive patients from the inpatient and outpatient departments of West China Hospital and Sichuan Electric Power Central Hospital were included in the study, and 30 healthy volunteers served as controls. MAU, plasma HDL and paraoxonase (PON1) activity were tested. ResultsPON1 activity was lower in hypertensive patients than the controls (P<0.05), and this degree of decline was positively related to MAU (P<0.05). ConclusionMAU reflects PON1 activity in hypertensive patients and can be a predictor to judge plasma HDL function in patients with hypertension.
Objective To make individualized evidence-based treatment for patients with diabetic nephropathy with albuminuria. Methods Based on the clinical questions we raised, evidence was collected and critically assessed. Patients’ willingness was also taken into consideration in the decision-making treatment Results Seventy studies were retrieved and finally 14 randomized controlled trials, 2 systematic reviews, 2 meta-analyses and 41 clinical guidelines were considered eligible. The evidence indicated that albuminuria was an independent cardiovascular risk factor of diabetic patients; angiotensin receptor antagonists might decrease the level of urinary albumin excretion in patients with type 2 diabetic nephropathy; and such patients might benefit from blood glucose and blood pressure control. The individualized treatment plans were developed based on the available evidence. After 1 month of treatment, the serum creatinine returned to normal and albuminuria became negative. Conclusion The individualized treatment plans based on the high quality evidence were optimal in reducing cardiovascular complications and urinary albumin excretion. However, long-term prognostic benefits need to be confirmed by further follow-up.
Objective To formulate an evidence-based treatment plan for a patient with type 2 diabetes and microalbuminuria. Methods According to the patient’s clinical conditions, we put forward 5 clinical problems. We searched the Cochrane Library (Issue 4, 2005), ACP Journal Club (1991 to 2005), and MEDLINE (1991 to 2005) databases. Systematic review, meta-analysis and randomized controlled trials about the treatment of diabetic nephropathy were included. The treatment plan was developed accordingly. Results Thirteen eligible studies were included. Evidence indicated that an intensive intervention aimed at the multiple potential risk factors could be applied to delay or prevent the progression of diabetic nephropathy, which included intensive blood glucose control, tight blood-pressure control, lipid modulation, restriction of protein intake and smoking cessation. The individualized treatment plan was based on the high quality evidence as well as the patient’s specific condition. The patient is still being followed-up. Conclusion Interventions for risk factors of type 2 diabetes like changing living style, decreasing serum glucose, blood pressure, and level of blood fat help to release the clinical symptom and better the long-term living quality of patients.
目的:探討銀屑病合并蛋白尿患者的臨床特點。方法:回顧性分析1996年1月~2005年8月收治的銀屑病合并蛋白尿者臨床資料,并與銀屑病非蛋白尿者的臨床特點比較。結果:銀屑病合并不明原因蛋白尿48例,皮膚受累面積與蛋白尿程度無相關關系(P>0.05),但銀屑病合并蛋白尿組的銀屑病病程更短,腎臟病理熒光表現為IgA沉積為主。蛋白尿組皮膚受累面積與非蛋白尿組皮膚受累面積比較,無統計學意義(P>0.05),蛋白尿組和非蛋白尿組的病程也無統計學差異(P>0.05)。結論:銀屑病合并不明原因蛋白尿值得重視,有必要對其發病機制、臨床特點、病理特征進行深入的研究。
目的:探討老年原發性高血壓(EH)患者早期腎損害指標微量白蛋白尿(MAU)和動脈粥樣硬化的早期征象頸動脈內中膜厚度(C-IMT)之間的關系。方法:99名老年EH患者按尿白蛋白/肌酐比值(ACR)分為異常ACR組和正常ACR組,對兩組的C-IMT、斑塊發生率、ACR水平及血中尿素氮(Bun)、肌酐(Cr)、總膽固醇(TC)、甘油三酯(TG)、血糖(Glu)、體重指數(BMI)等進行分析和比較。結果:異常ACR組的年齡、尿酸、ACR、C-IMT、24小時平均收縮壓,平均動脈壓及脈壓均高于正常ACR組(Plt;0.05);且C-IMT與ACR水平呈正相關(Plt;0.05)。結論:微量白蛋白尿和頸動脈IMT密切相關,提示微量白蛋白尿不僅和老年高血壓腎臟病變有關,也是亞臨床期動脈粥樣硬化的早期標志.
目的:分析小兒紫癜性腎炎的臨床特點。方法:回顧分析兩院兒科最近8年收治的小兒紫癜性腎炎180例的臨床表現、實驗室檢查結果,治療和預后等方面的資料。結果(1)臨床以血尿蛋白尿型最多見(61/180),其次為急性腎炎型(36/180)、腎病綜合征型(31/180)和單純血尿或蛋白尿型(25/180)。(2)重癥病兒短期使用激素可改善腎臟損害。(3)所有病例均有必要長期隨訪。結論:小兒紫癜性腎炎絕大多數預后良好,但病情反復不愈者可發展為終末期腎臟損害,故需要長期隨訪。
