RESUMO

Cardiovascular risk (CVR) estimation is a fundamental tool for guiding therapy. Albuminuria indicates target organ damage in an accessible, economic and non-invasive manner. Improves high-risk patient identification, especially in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and diabetes mellitus (DM). In addition, anti-albuminuric treatments may improve CVR. This would position albuminuria as a guide and therapeutic objective. Although the capacity of albuminuria as an epidemiological CVR marker in specific populations (hypertension, CKD, DM) is accepted, its profile as a risk marker in the general population and as a therapeutic target is controversial. There is ambiguous evidence regarding its predictive capacity, added to the fact that treatments such as SLGT2 blockers reduce CVR events regardless of albuminuria presence or magnitude. This review analyzes the available evidence on albuminuria as a CVR marker, a treatment goal and therapeutic guide.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: End-stage renal disease (ESRD) is a prevalent, important cause of death. Transplantation increases survival and improves the quality of life of patients with ESRD while long-term dialysis is related to poor outcomes even among patients who undergo subsequent transplantations. OBJECTIVES: To compare the advantages of preemptive procedures with kidney transplants among patients on renal replacement therapy. METHODS: This retrospective study was performed in two Córdoba city transplantation centers. Patients were divided into three groups: preemptive kidney transplant (PKT), patients on hemodialysis who received living donor kidney transplants (LDT), and subjects who received grafts from deceased donors (DDT). Serum creatinine, delayed graft function (DGF), subclinical rejection, and interstitial fibrosis/tubular atrophy (IF/TA) were evaluated at 6 months. RESULTS: Eighty patients were included: PKT (n = 28), LDT (n = 27), DDT (n = 25) mean age 29, 30, and 35 years, respectively. Women predominated among PKT and men in the other groups. In all groups, cyclosporine was the calcineurin inhibitor mostly used. Creatinine at 6 months was lower in the living donor groups (1.26 mg/dL PKT and 1.32 mg/dL LDT; P = NS) in relation to the deceased donor group (1.96 mg/dL; P < .05). DDT had the highest rate of DGF: 44% DDT versus 11.5% LDT vs 0% PKT (P < .05). Subclinical rejection was significantly lower among preemptive transplantations: PKT 7.6% versus LDT 18.5% versus DDT 24% (P < .05). IF/TA was higher in transplants from deceased donors: PKT 11.1%; LDT 11.5%; DDT 32%. CONCLUSIONS: Preemptive kidney transplantation offered the advantages of a lower creatinine, no DGF, as well as a reduced incidence of subclinical rejection and chronic allograft nephropathy at 6 months posttransplantation.
