Background. The purpose of this study was to investigate urinary uromodulin (uUmod) excretion, reactivity of the autonomic nervous system and impaired renal blood circulation in patients with predialysis chronic kidney disease (CKD), and the effect of antioxidant therapy on these parameters. Materials and methods. Ninety-one patients with CKD stage 1–5 took part in the ROLUNT (UROmoduLin UbiquinoNe GlutaThione) study, their average age was 47.00 ± 12.12 years. Thirty (32.97 %) men and 61 (67.03 %) women were divided into two groups, which were representative in terms of age and gender composition: the first one (n = 46) — patients with CKD stage1–5 who had Charlson Comorbidity Index ≤ 2, the second one (n = 45) — patients with CKD stage1–5 who had Charlson Comorbidity Index ≥ 3. The first and second groups were divided into subgroups A and B. Subgroup A included patients with impaired vegetative status, subgroup B — without impaired vegetative status. Subgroups 1A and 2B took glutathione 100 mg twice a day with food for 3 months; subgroups 1B and 2A received ubiquinone 100 mg once a day with food for 3 months. In patients with CKD stage1–5, uUmod, albumin to creatinine ratio (ACR), glomerular filtration rate (GFR) were evaluated. Ninety-one ultrasound duplex color scans of the kidneys were performed and the index of resistance (IR) was determined in patients with CKD stage1–5. Results. The results of the paired t-test showed that there is a significant difference between the indicators at the beginning and at the end of the study, with the exception of the following: in subgroup 1A: hemoglobin (Hb) (T = –1.5863 [–2.0739, 2.0739] 95% confidence interval (CI) [–2.4077, 0.3207], p = 0.127); in subgroup 1B: Hb (T = –0.382 [–2.0739, 2.0739], 95% CI [–1.3977, 0.963], p = 0.706); ACR (T = –1.5899 [–2.0739, 2.0739], 95% CI [–16.7323, 2.2105], p = 0.126); systolic blood pressure (SBP) (T = –0.5625 [–2.0739, 2.0739], 95% CI [–2.2414, 1.2849], p = 0.579); diastolic blood pressure (DBP) (T = –1.7936 [–2.0739, 2.0739], 95% CI [–2.3437, 0.1698], p = 0.087); Chernov questionnaire (T = 1.5071 [–2.0739, 2.0739], 95% CI [–0.6083, 3.8431], p = 0.146); Kérdö index (T = 0.9392 [–2.0739, 2.0739], 95% CI [–1.1083, 2.9431], p = 0.358); in subgroup 2A: ACR (T = –2.0147 [–2.0796, 2.0796], 95% CI [–39.1946, 0.6219], p = 0.057); in subgroup 2B: ACR (T = –1.3328 [–2.0739, 2.0739], 95% CI [–17.4695, 3.7999], p = 0.196). The Pearson correlation results showed that in subgroup 1A, there is a significant average positive relationship between uUmod and eGFR (r(21) = 0.418, p = 0.047); a significant very small negative relationship between uUmod indicators and age (r(21) = 0.438, p = 0.037); in subgroup 1B, there is a significant large positive relationship between uUmod and Hb indicators (r(21) = 0.513, p = 0.012); a significant positive relationship between uUmod and Morisky Medication Adherence Scale-8 (MMAS-8) indicators (r(21) = 0.515, p = 0.012); a significant very small negative relationship between uUmod and ACR indicators (r(21) = 0.441, p = 0.035); in subgroup 2A, there is a significant very small negative relationship between uUmod indicators and Kérdö index (r(20) = 0.427, p = 0.048); in subgroup 2B, there is a significant very small negative relationship between the uUmod indicators and Chernov questionnaire score (r(21) = 0.421, p = 0.045); a significant very small negative relationship between uUmod indicators and Charlson Comorbidity Index (r(21) = 0.481, p = 0.020); a significant very small negative relationship between uUmod and age (r(21) = 0.471, p = 0.023). In subgroup 1A at the end of the study, the following independent variables are not significant as predictors for uUmod: IRd, IRs, SBP, DBP, Hb, ACR, age, Vein and Chernov questionnaires score, MMAS-8, Charlson Comorbidity Index and Kérdö index. In subgroup 1B at the end of the study, the following independent variables are not significant as predictors for uUmod: eGFR, IRs, SBP, DBP, Hb, Vein and Chernov questionnaires score, MMAS-8, Charlson Comorbidity Index and Kérdö index. In subgroup 2A at the end of the study, the following independent variables are not significant as predictors for uUmod: eGFR, IRd, IRs, SBP, DBP, Hb, ACR, age, Vein questionnaire score, MMAS-8, Charlson Comorbidity Index. In subgroup 2B at the end of the study, the following independent variables are not significant as predictors for uUmod: eGFR, IRd, IRs, SBP, DBP, Hb, ACR, age, Vein questionnaire score, MMAS-8, Kérdö index. Conclusions. Antioxidant therapy with glutathione and ubiquinone significantly affects the examination parameters of patients with CKD. Considering the safety and effectiveness of antioxidant therapy, we suggest including antioxidant therapy into the treatment protocols for patients with CKD. Further research is recommended to establish a standard protocol.

Background. The purpose of this study was to investigate urinary uromodulin (uUMOD) excretion, reactivity of the autonomic nervous system and impaired renal blood circulation in patients with predialysis chronic kidney disease (CKD), the effect of antioxidant therapy on these parameters. Materials and methods. Ninety-one patients with CKD stage 1–5 whose average age was 47.00 ± 12.12 years took part in the ROLUNT (UROmoduLin UbiquinoNe GlutaThione) study. Thirty (32.97 %) men and 61 (67.03 %) women were divided into two groups, which were representative in terms of age and gender composition: group 1 (n = 46) — patients with CKD stage 1–5 who had a Charlson comorbidity index ≤ 2, group 2 (n = 45) — patients with CKD stage 1–5 who had a Charlson comorbidity index ≥ 3. Both groups were divided into subgroups A and B. Subgroups A included patients with impaired vegetative status, subgroups B — those without impaired vegetative status. The first A and second B subgroups took glutathione 100 mg twice a day with food for 3 months, the first B and second A subgroups took ubiquinone 100 mg once a day with food for 3 months. Results. The results of the paired t-test showed that there is a significant difference between the indicators at baseline and at the end of the study. The Pearson correlation results showed that in the group 1 (subgroup A), there is a significant average positive relationship between uUMOD and estimated glomerular filtration rate (r(21) = 0.418, p = 0.047); in the group 1 (subgroup B), there is a significant large positive relationship between uUMOD and Hb indicators (r(21) = 0.513, p = 0.012); a significant very small negative relationship between uUMOD and albumin-creatinine ratio (r(21) = 0.441, p = 0.035); in the group 2 (subgroup A), there is a significant very small negative relationship between uUMOD indicators and Kérdö index (r(20) = 0.427, p = 0.048); in the group 2 (subgroup B), there is a significant very small negative relationship between the uUMOD indicators and Yu.M. Chernov’s questionnaire (r(21) = 0.421, p = 0.045). Conclusions. Antioxidant therapy with glutathione and ubiquinone significantly affects the examination parameters in patients with CKD. Considering the safety and effectiveness of antioxidant therapy, we suggest including it in the treatment protocols for patients with CKD. Further research is recommended to develop a standard protocol.
Background. It is necessary to strive to resume anticoagulants for patients with atrial fibrillation who have a high risk of thrombosis after the development of large bleeding. Due to the fact that death in these patients is caused not by a recurrence of fatal bleeding, but by the development of stroke in case of refusal of anticoagulant therapy. Aim. To evaluate the effect of the resumption of anticoagulant therapy on the risk of recurrence of major bleeding, thrombosis and death in patients with atrial fibrillation who have suffered major bleeding. Materials and methods. To evaluate the frequency of bleeding, thrombosis and death in patients with atrial fibrillation after major bleeding according to prospective follow-up data for one year. Results. The recurrence rate of major bleeding after the resumption of therapy was 21.7% per year. The frequency of fatal bleeding was 2.2%. In the anticoagulant withdrawal group, the incidence of thrombotic complications (ischemic stroke and myocardial infarction) was significantly higher compared to patients who resumed therapy. The frequency of death from all causes was significantly higher in the group of patients who did not resume anticoagulant therapy. Half of the deaths were due to cardiovascular causes. The presence of more than 5 points of the Charlson Comorbidity Index was a predictor of the development of the sum of all adverse events. Conclusion. The resumption of anticoagulant therapy after the development of major bleeding in patients with atrial fibrillation reduces the risk of thrombosis and death at a cost, while increasing the risk of recurrence of non-fatal bleeding.
