Summary: The role of autonomic nervous system dysfunction in
theregulation of arterial blood pressure in 4 male and 10 femaleuremic
patients, age 35-65 years (57+-9 years), treated bycontinous ambulatory
peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) for 6-40 months(20+-12 months), was studied. The
integrity of the entireautonomic reflex arc was checked using Valsalva 's
test and theorthostasis challenge test. In parallel, efferent
sympatheticfunction was tested with the handgrip test.
A significantly decreased Valsalva ratio was found in 7 patients(50%), and
it was normal in only 2 patients (14%). The handgriptest was subnormal in
5 patients (36%) and abnormal in 7 patients(50%). On the contrary,the
orthostatic challenge test showednormal compensatory reaction in 10
patients (72%). The evaluationof three autonomic tests showed combined
(afferent+efferent)lesion in 6 patients (43%), predominant afferent lesion
in 3patients (21%) and in three patients predominant efferent lesion.In 2
patients (14%) there was no end organ response.
Despite significant autonomic nervous system dysfunction inuremics on CAPD,
as demonstrated by these results, blood pressure regulation in the supine
and upright position was adequate inmost patients (72%), indicating a
relatively greater role ofother blood pressure-regulating factors..

Summary: A 49-years old patient treated by hemodialysis for 14 years
wasdescribed.Because of bone pain, histological finding of mixeduremic bone
disease and markedly elevated parathormone thepatient was subjected to
subtotal parathyroidectomy. Four yearslater he developped multiple
metastyatic calcifications near leftelbow and clavicula. His parathormone
was in normal range , as well as calcium, whereas phosphate was elevated
and osteocalcinmarkedly decreased in comparison with pre-treatment values.
It isconcluded that a mild parathyreoid hypersecretion is necessaryto
maintain bone metabolism in uremia. Due to the slow rate ofbone metabolism,
calcium and phosphate, instead of beingincorporated in bone, were deposited
in the soft tissues.

Summary: An 18-year-old man suffernig from uremia was hospitalized
becauseof severe skeletal pain and multiple exostoses. The patient hadbeen
treated for 5 years by regular hemodialysis; primaryoxalosis was the
suspected cause of uremia. Transiliac bonebiopsy and subsequent
histomorphometric analysis of undecalcifiedbone specimen as well as
specific aluminum staining revealed apicture of oxalosis combined with
osteomalacia and a markedaccumulation of aluminum at the front of
mineralization. Thiscombination of histological features of oxalosis and
aluminumbone disease has not been described yet and suggests a new typeof
mixed renal osteodystrophy.

Summary: Ticlopidine, a platelet aggregation inhibitor was tested
,in adouble blind comparative cross-over study versus placebo, in
51dialysed uremic patients who had increased dialyser bloodclotting (>25
fibers clotted/dialyser). At the end of a 7-daytreatment period with 250 mg
daily, the clearance of urea,creatinine and phosphate was determined at 30
and 210 minutes ofdialysis, as well as the number of fibers clotted at the
end ofdialysis. Ticlopidine improved dialysers clearances for
urea,creatinine and phosphate from 165+-41 to 182+-35 (p<0.01),135+-37 to
143+-35 (p<0.05), and 120+-36 to 130+-35 (p<0.05)ml/min, respectivelly, at
30 min of hemodialysis and a similareffect was seen after 210 minutes of
hemodialysis. The number ofdialyser fibers clotted after dialysis was
reduced by ticlopidinetherapy from 110+-48 to 15+-8 (p<0.01). Ticlopidine
reduced theinitial dialysis-induced drop in leucocyte count by 20%
(p<0.05);no change in platelet or erythrocyte count was observed. Two outof
51 patients experienced an adverse reaction from ticlopidine(cutaneous
haematoma and minor gingival bleeding). We concludethat ticlopidine is an
efficient and safe drug for dialyseduremic patients since it can reduce
blood clotting and therbyincrease dialysis efficiency.

Summary: To estimate the prevalence of antibodies to the hepatitis C
and B virus (HCV and HBV), 101 patients receiving renal replacement therapy
and 75 staff members were tested includins detailed history, HBV-markers
and anti-HCV antibody screening. 38% of pts were anti_HCV positive and 40%
of these had anti HBs antibodies. Markers indicating only HBV infection had
another 18% of pts. All staff members were anti-HBC negative although 45%
were anti-HBc positive. Age, sex and blood transfusion history had no
influence on prevalence, but polytransfused had a significant increase in
prevalence over other pts (p<0.05). During 2-year follow-up a decline in
prevalence of HB markers was observed in contrary to a steady increase in
anti-HBC seropositivity from 30 to 38%.

Summary: A CAPD patient with secondary hyperparathyroidism was
treated successfully with oral calcitriol once weekly. The dose was 4 to 8
mcg weekly. After 3 months of treatment the serum level of parathormone was
reduced by 75% i.e. from 39.2 to 9.8 pmol/L. The serum levels of calcium
and phosphate were kept in the normal range with the use of oral calcium
carbonate 1.5 g daily. There was no side effects of this treatment.

Summary: A total of 143 patients treated by chronic dialysis were
included into the study on prevalence of carpal tunnel syndrome. 123
patients were treated by hemodialysis and 16 by peritoneal dialysis.
Clinical signs of carpal tunnel were found in 23 patients , 19 treated by
hemodialysis and 2 treated by peritoneal dialysis (16%), the syndrome was
not found in patients receiving dialysis for less than 5 years.The
incidence of syndrome increased with the dialysis duration. In 16 patients
(70%) the syndrome was found bilaterally. The incidence of carpal tunnel
syndrome in dialysed uremics is much higher than in the general population
i.e. 16% vs. 0.1%.

Summary: In our dialysis center , 28 of 148 patinets (19%) have
clinical signs of carpal tunnel syndrome. None of patinet undergoing
dialysis for less than 5 years have any signs of carpal tunnel syndrome,
but 22 of 32 patients (69%) of those who have been treated for more than 10
years by dialysis have developped the syndrome. Seven patients who
underwent surgical decompression had clinical and electrophysiological
improvement, but four had a relapse after three years.

Summary: A randomized comparative study was conducted to evaluate
theclinical efficacy of cefpiramide in comparison with a
standardmonotherapy with ceftazidime in uremic patients with
severebacteriologically confirmed infections at different sites causedby
pathogens susceptible to both antibiotics.
Thirty-two patients were randomly alocated to two groupsreceiving either
2.0 gram cefpiramide or 1.0 gram ceftazidime foran average of ten days.
Patients were followed after therapyclinically and bacteriologically for
another 14 days.
In addition to renal failure, the patients(cefpiramide/ceftazidime) had
significant concurrent diseasesincluding diabetes mellitus (3/4),
anatomical abnormalities ofthe urinary tract (2/4), and cardiac
decompensation (2/5). Mostof the patients were treated by either
hemodialysis (4/12) orperitonela dialysis ( 8/5).
Infections sites (cefpiramide / ceftazidime) included chronicexacerbated
pyelonephritis ( 4/7), peritonitis on peritonealdialysis ( 7/5),
bronchopneumonia (2/3), sepsis (3/4) ,soft-tissue abscess (1/1) and
Douglas' anscess (1/1).
The isolated infecting microorganisms were Esch.coli only in 4and 3 cases
in cefpiramide and ceftazidime group, respectivelly,whereas the other
isolates were predominantly multiresitantmicroorganisms such as
Enterobacter aerogenes, Providencirettgeri,Klebsiella pneumoniae,
Pseudomonas aeruginosa andProteus mirabilis. Other isolates were
gram-positive cocci.
Bacteriological success was achieved in 9 out of 15 patients incefpiramide
group versus 12 out of 17 patients in ceftazidimegroup; the difference was
not statistically significant. 6patients in cefpiramide group and 5 in
ceftazidime group wereconsidered bacteriollogical failures being equally
distributedbetween recurrence, persistence and superinfection.
Cefpiramide and ceftazidime werte found to be equally efficientin the
treatment of severe bacterial infections in uremicpatients. Considering the
specific patient population, resistanceof infecting organisms and the sites
of infection, the resultsobtained may be regarded as very favourable. The
tolerability toboth antibiotics was very good.
