Doença renal crônica, inflamação e aterosclerose: novos conceitos de um velho problema

Abstract: A doença renal crônica (DRC) é uma síndrome causada por inúmeras doenças que têm em comum a redução progressiva da filtração glomerular. Independente do insulto inicial provocado pela doença de base, a lesão progride com esclerose glomerular e fibrose intersticial, resultando em insuficiência renal crônica.No Brasil, a prevalência de pacientes mantidos em programa crônico de diálise mais que dobrou nos últimos oito anos. A incidência de novos pacientes cresce cerca de 8% ao ano e estimase que existam cerca de … Show more

“…In our analysis, hypertension was not associated with low or high AAI, an observation also reported by Cheung et al 2 and Jaar et al 24 , Hypertension is widely present among hemodialysis patients, with a prevalence that may reach 80% in some populations, making detection of its effect upon a specific subgroup hard to demonstrate 25 . It should be stressed that Rajagopalan et al 23 found a positive association between hypertension and PAD illustrating that data, in this regard, are not consensual.…”

“…Besides these factors, inflammatory processes, oxidative stress, endothelial dysfunction, uremia, and familial antecedents can also contribute to the development of renal disease. 3 With the progress in course in dialytic treatment, the life expectation of these patients is increasing significantly; however, factors like disease stage, physical activity level, and cardiovascular disease contribute to the decrease in the quality of life of individuals with chronic renal disease. 4,5 Besides, patients under regular dialysis can also present alterations in the cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, and metabolic systems, and such alterations can compromise 40-50% of their exercise capacity and peripheral muscular strength.…”
