Their levels were 24. 40± 10. 30 μg/L, 26. 99±5.77 μg/L,38. 81±6. 28 μg/L, 79. 74± 18. 76 μg/L, respectively. The level of urinary FPA in renal insufficiency function group was significantly higher than those of the con-trol group and normal renal function group (P<0.01). The patients with uremia presented dramatically higher level of urinary FPA than those in the renal insufficiency group (P<0.01). A positive correlation was found between the level of urinary FPA and the blood creatine (r= 0. 9120, P<0. 01 ). It was suggested that a hypercoagulable state existed in the patients with chronic nephritis with renal failure, in which the severity was closely related with the occurrence and development of the disease. The urinary FPA could serve as a good indicator for renal function.展开更多

Methods:A total of 100 patients with chronic nephritis who were treated in our hospital between May 2016 to May 2017 were randomly divided into control group and observation group, 50 cases in each group. Patients in the control group were treated with Atorvastatin, while patients in the observation group were treated with Shenkang granule on the basis of the treatment in the control group. The changes of renal function, coagulation function and inflammatory factors were detected and compared between the patients in the two groups before and after treatment. Result: After treatment, the levels of Cr, BUN and 24hUpro in serum of patients in the two groups were significantly decreased, and the levels of ALB were significantly increased, and the changes of the above factors of patients in the observation group were more obvious. After treatment, the levels of PT, APTT and TT of patients in the two groups were significantly increased, and the levels of FIB were significantly decreased, and the changes of the above indexes of patients in the observation group were more obvious. After treatment, the levels of hs-CRP and TNF-α in serum of patients in the two groups were significantly decreased, and the decrease trend of inflammatory factors of patients in the observation group was more obvious. Conclusion: Shenkang granule combined with Atorvastatin has a good effect on treatment of chronic nephritis. It can significantly improve renal function and coagulation function, alleviate inflammation, and has a certain protective effect on kidney of patients.展开更多

The risk of progression to end-stage renal failure can reach 40% to 60%. Thus we carried out this work for the purpose of an evaluation of the renal and vital prognosis and to deduce the factors of poor prognosis. Patients and method: This was a retrospective, descriptive and analytical study conducted over a period of 10 years from January 1, 2007 to December 31, 2016, performed in the Nephrology Department of Aristide Le Dantec Hospital in Dakar. Patients with lupus nephritis were included. The studied parameters were epidemiological, clinical, paraclinical and progression. We had done a crossover of the patients to look for the factors of poor renal and vital prognosis. Results: Out of 93 cases of lupus patients, 64 were included, a prevalence of 69%. The mean age of the patients was 31.97 ± 10.44 years old. There were 81% women and 19% men, a sex ratio of 0.23. Class III was found in 24 cases (37.5%), Class IV in 20 cases (31.25%), Class V in 15 cases (23.4%), Class II in 4 cases (6.25%) and Class I in 1 case (1.6%). The combination of corticosteroids and immunosuppressants was used in 56.25% of cases. After a follow-up of six months, 19 patients were in complete remission, 21 had resistance and 9 had partial remission. Of the 21 patients who had resistance, 8 were in chronic renal failure. Death was observed in 5 patients and the causes were in 3 patients: pulmonary embolism, bacterial meningitis and pulmonary tuberculosis. The cause of death was unknown in 2 patients. The factors of poor renal prognosis were lymphopenia, the presence of anti-native DNA antibodies, nephrotic syndrome, microscopic hematuria, tubular atrophy and interstitial fibrosis. Risk factors affecting renal survival were the presence of native anti-DNA antibodies, microscopic hematuria, leukocyturia and the presence of a proliferative class. The factors of poor prognosis were renal failure, lymphopenia, nephrotic syndrome, glomerular sclerosis, arteriosclerosis, interstitial infiltration and tubular atrophy. Conclusion: The risk conferred by nephropathy is greater for proliferative glomerulonephritis;it is also correlated with the presence of persistent nephrotic syndrome or severe renal failure.展开更多
