摘要:
Oliguric ARF occurred in 0.5% of battle casualties who reached the field medical care system and raised their mortality expectancy from less than 5% to nearly 90%, due primarily to fluid volume overload and/or myocardial potassium intoxication. For their effective treatment the Renal Insufficiency Center with laboratory and a Brigham-Kolff rotating drum dialyzer began operations in 1952, as depicted in a videotape prepared for this presentation from motion picture footage filmed in early 1953. Our Surgical Research Team's major findings relevant to ARF were: (1) Renal function was depressed in most battle casualties in proportion to the severity of their wounds and blood loss. (2) Among the more severly wounded some developed nonoliguric; others, oliguric ARF. (3) Oliguria lasted from 3 days to 3 weeks without a discernible peak frequency of beginning diuresis at 10 days. (4) During oliguria, posttraumatic catabolism greatly accelerated extracellular accumulations of nitrogen, potassium, phosphate, and hydrogen ion with rapid, concurrent clinical deterioration. (5) Dialysis“on indication”produced an oscillating clinical and chemical course. (6) ARF was then revealed as a wasting disease complicated by infections, poor wound healing until diuresis occurred, anemia and bleeding, and hypertension during dialyses and in early diuresis. (7) The overall mortality rate was reduced.

摘要:
A destructive earthquake devastated northwestern Armenia on December 7, 1988. The size of the affected area (radius of 50 miles), the time of the day when it occurred (11:41 a.m.), deficiencies in the design and construction of buildings, and inadequate initial rescue and relief capabilities resulted in one of the most lethal and traumatic natural disasters of the century. A large but unknown number (estimated at 225 to 385) of the extricated victims who had sustained crush injury developed myoglobinuric acute renal failure requiring dialytic support. The limited number (8-10 dialysis machines) of antiquated dialysis facilities available locally were overwhelmed. International dialysis relief efforts resulted in meeting the immediate acute needs and provided the motivation and elements of the more efficient system for the future delivery of maintenance dialysis.

摘要:
Sudden-impact natural disasters such as earthquakes present a serious challenge to medical personnel in both developed and less developed countries. Crush syndrome with acute renal failure has been identified as a major medical complication that occurs among people whose limbs are trapped by heavy objects during natural disasters such as earthquakes or volcanic eruptions. Rescue and field medical teams should be trained to recognize and promptly treat the problems associated with prolonged limb compression and should carry the appropriate fluids and medications to treat the complications of traumatic rhabdomyolysis. Early, aggressive volume replacement followed by forced solute-alkaline diuresis therapy may protect the kidney against acute renal failure. Better epidemiologic knowledge of the specific disaster conditions that predispose traumatic rhabdomyolysis to develop is clearly essential for those who must determine when emergency dialysis services are required in response to injuries sustained during natural disasters. Disaster health care personnel involved with providing emergency acute renal care should have a basic familiarity with disaster epidemiology in order to determine whether a given event requires their intervention. This paper includes recommendations for improving medical planning, preparedness, and response to natural disasters that cause acute renal failure.

摘要:
In renal preservation, the longer the organ is cold stored the greater the damage to the organ. The mechanism of hypothermic-induced kidney injury is not known. In this study the effects of long-term preservation (up to 120 h) of the dog kidney on mitochondrial functions in an homogenate of kidney cortex tissue was investigated. Kidneys were exposed to either warm ischemia (0 to 90 min) cold ischemia (0, 72, 96, and J20 h). The mitochondrial oxygen uptake was measured in an homogenate. In both warm and cold ischemia there were changes in the mitochondrial utilization of oxygen. The changes were characterized as a decrease in uncoupler stimulated oxygen uptake by up to 40%, an increase in oligomycin-sensitive respiration by up to about 150%, and a decrease in the respiratory control ratio (uncoupler control ratio) from about 3 to 1. These changes in mitochondrial utilization of oxygen were partially reversed by including albumin in the respiration medium. Albumin binds free fatty acids and these may originate, during ischemia, from the action of phospholipases during ischemia. The changes in mitochondrial oxygen uptake may result from both the loss of membrane-bound phospholipids and the accumulation of free fatty acids. The changes in mitochondrial activity between 72 h (viable kidneys on transplantation) and 96 to 120 h preservation (nonviable kidneys) were not significant. Furthermore, reperfusion of kidneys preserved for 72 to 120 h resulted in a restoration of mitochondrial oxygen uptake to near normal (control) values. Thus, it does not appear that the limitation of successful long-term renal preservation is due to mitochondrial injury caused by cold ischemia.

摘要:
Oxygen free radicals are generated during reperfusion of ischemic organs. Studies employing several species of laboratory animal (rat, dog, pig, rabbit, mouse) have documented protective effects of a variety of free-radical scavengers and antioxidants when administered before or immediately preceding reperfusion of ischemic kidneys. These protective agents include superoxide dismutase, dimethylthiorea, dimethyl sulfoxide,α-tocopherol, glutathione, the iron chelator deferoxamine, probucol, allopurinol and oxypurinol, and the spin-trapping agent PBN. Furthermore, deficiency of antioxidants (selenium,α-tocopherol, orcatalase) exacerbates postischemic renal injury. These findings have been applied to renal transplantation in an attempt to decrease the incidence of posttransplantation acute renal failure. This is important because acute renal failure results in morbidity, increases hospital stay and the cost of transplantation, and complicates the use of cyclosporine. In porcine and in canine kidney transplantation, superoxide dismutase and allopurinol have provided renal protection. Transplantation is complicated because there may be prolonged hypoperfusion before harvesting plus a brief period of total ischemia during harvesting, followed by a prolonged period of cold ischemia and/or reperfusion, then followed by another brief period of ischemia and reperfusion during transplantation. Injury may occur at each of these phases by different mechanisms.

摘要:
Acute renal failure is common in kidney transplantation due to immunologic, nephrotoxic, and ischemic events. In this paper the subject of posttransplant acute renal failure is reviewed in relation to arachidonic acid metabolism. Although experimental abnormalities noted in ischemia, rejection, and cyclosporin nephrotoxicity are discussed separately, it is obvious that in the clinical situation there is great overlap. The effects of altering the substrate arachidonic acid by feeding of dietary omega-3 fatty acids, both experimentally and clinically, are discussed. Finally, the limited clinical trials of prostaglandin analogues in renal transplant patients show conflicting conclusions as regards beneficial effects on rejection and renal function. Careful clinical studies of compounds with proven efficacy in animals are needed if acute renal failure posttransplant is to be modified or prevented.

摘要:
The effect of FK 506 pretreatment on renal ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) injury was investigated. Adult male rats were assigned to one of two groups (20 animals each). Group 1 (controls) received 0.5 mL saline while group 2 recieved FK 506 (0.3 mg/kg) intravenously 24 h prior to the induction of renal ischemia. After a 60-min period of ischemia of the right kidney, a left nephrectomy was performed. Blood for BUN, creatinine, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) was obtained prior to ischemia and on days 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, and 10. All surviving animals were sacrificed at day 10. FK 506 pretreatment reduced the serum levels of BUN (p<. 02), creatinine (p<. 02) and TNF (p<. 05) as compared to that seen in controls. Based upon these data, it appears that: (a) renal ischemia induces the release of TNF; (b) FK 506 pretreatment inhibits TNF production; and (c) FK 506 reduces renal injury association with I/R.

摘要:
To test the hypothesis that calcium antagonists decrease the incidence and severity of delayed graft function, we conducted three separate, prospective, randomized trials. In these trials, we investigated the effects of diltiazem and those of the prostacycline analogue iloprost. In the first study, 22 control patients and 20 diltiazem patients received grafts perfused with either vehicle or diltiazem 20 mg/L in the Euro-Collins solution. Subsequently, the diltiazem subjects were given the drug as a bolus of 0.28 mg/kg, followed by a continuous infusion of 0.002 mg/min/kg for the following 2 days. Thereafter, diltiazem 60 mg was given to the treated subjects orally for up to 4 years. In the second study, 11 control subjects and 10 diltiazem subjects received the same postoperative regimen, but all grafts were harvested without addition of diltiazem to the perfusion solution. In the third protocol, four groups were studied as follows: 19 control subjects who received no specific treatment, 16 subjects who received diltiazem, 16 subjects who were given iloprost, and 14 subjects who received both iliprost and diltiazem. The donor kidney of treated patients was perfused with either diltiazem, iloprost, or both drugs. Primary graft function occurred more commonly in the groups receiving diltiazem. Further, in the first study the number of hemodialyses per patient was reduced in those patients with delayed graft function. Fewer rejection episodes occurred in patients receiving diltiazem. Plasma levels of soluble interleukin-2 receptors decreased significantly during diltiazem treatment. Moreover, renal biopsies showed less severe signs of cyclosporin-A (CyA) nephrotaxicity in diltiazem-treated patients compared to controls, even though these patients also exhibited higher CyA trough levels. In the third study, the decrease in serum creatinine levels was more rapid in patients receiving diltiazem, with or without iloprost. After I-year follow-up in this study, patients with primary graft function had lower creatinine values than those with delayed graft function. The long-term follow-up of diltiazem-treated patients in the first 2 studies showed significantly lower serum creatinine levels at 2 years and a tendency of an improved graft survival up to 4 years (80% vs. 70%) compared to patients not given diltiazem. We conclude that diltiazem may blunt ischemic graji failure, and may be of value in preventing acute and chronic CyA nephrotoxicity.
