Hipertensão pulmonar em pacientes com doença renal crônica terminal internados em um hospital de referência em nefrologia do estado do Pará, Brasil Pulmonary hypertension in hospitalized patients with chronic end-stage kidney disease at a referral hospital in nephrology in Pará State, Brazil RESUMO OBJETIVOS: Verificar a existência de hipertensão arterial pulmonar (HAP) entre os pacientes portadores de doença renal crônica (DRC) em hemodiálise e identificar seus perfis clínicos. MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS: Estudo retrospectivo, realizado por meio da análise de prontuários de pacientes internados em um hospital de referência em nefrologia do estado do Pará, Brasil, de janeiro a dezembro de 2014. Pela aplicação de um questionário, foram analisados idade, gênero, comorbidades, motivo da internação, tipo de acesso vascular e informações do ecocardiograma Doppler transtorácico, como a medida da pressão sistólica da artéria pulmonar (PSAP), considerando-se valores ≥ 35 mmHg sugestivos de HAP. RESULTADOS: Dos 101 pacientes investigados, 21,8% apresentavam sinais sugestivos de HAP. Desses, 63,6% pertenciam ao gênero masculino, com média de idade de 60,36 ± 12,35 anos. Constatou-se média de PSAP de 51,13 ± 11,40 mmHg e a maioria das internações foram motivadas por uremia (45,5%) e síndrome coronariana aguda (13,6%). Entre as comorbidades, destacaram-se a hipertensão arterial sistêmica (95,5%) e a diabetes mellitus (50,0%). A maioria dos pacientes usava um acesso vascular de curta permanência do tipo Shilley (95,5%) para hemodiálise, e o desfecho mais reportado foi o óbito (36,4%). CONCLUSÃO: O rastreamento de HAP por ecocardiograma pode ser útil para a avaliação cardiopulmonar entre os pacientes urêmicos, havendo necessidade de estudos prospectivos para melhor esclarecer a relação entre HAP e a terapia de hemodiálise em portadores de DRC.Palavras-chave: Doença Renal Crônica; Hemodiálise; Hipertensão Pulmonar.ABSTRACT OBJECTIVES: To verify the existence of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) among patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) undergoing hemodialysis, and to identify their clinical profiles. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective study was carried out by analyzing the medical records of patients admitted to a referral hospital in nephrology in Pará State, Brazil, from January to December 2014. Variables as age, gender, comorbidities, reason for hospitalization, type of vascular access were obtained by a questionnaire and analyzed. In addition, transthoracic Doppler echocardiography information, such as pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP), with values ≥ 35 mmHg suggesting PAH, was considered. RESULTS: From the total of 101 patients investigated, 21.8% presented signs suggestive of PAH, and 63.6% of those were male with mean age of 60.36 ± 12.35 years. Mean PASP was 51.13 ± 11.40 mmHg and the majority of hospitalizations were due to uremia (45.5%) and acute coronary syndrome (13.6%). Among the main comorbidities identified, systemic arterial hypertension (95.5%) and diabetes mellitus (50.0%) stand out. Most of ...
BACKGROUND Clinical presentation of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is knowingly polymorphic. The interface of SLE with macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) is nebulous and tends to occur in juvenile SLE. We here highlight a case of pancreatitis, MAS and rapid evolution for severe SLE in an adult.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
