Abstract
It is well known that the heart and kidney and their synergy is essential for hemodynamic homeostasis. Since the early XIX century it has been recognized that cardiovascular and renal diseases frequently coexist. In the nephrological field, while it is well accepted that renal diseases favor the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases, it is not always realized that cardiovascular diseases induce or aggravate renal dysfunctions, in this way further deteriorating cardiac function and creating a vicious circle. In the same clinical field, the role of venous congestion in the pathogenesis of renal dysfunction is at times overlooked. This review carefully quantifies the prevalence of chronic and acute kidney abnormalities in cardiovascular diseases, mainly heart failure, regardless of ejection fraction, and the consequences of renal abnormalities on both organs, making cardiovascular diseases a major risk factor for kidney diseases. In addition, with regard to pathophysiological aspects, we attempt to substantiate the major role of fluid overload and venous congestion, including renal venous hypertension, in the pathogenesis of acute and chronic renal dysfunction occurring in heart failure. Furthermore, we describe therapeutic principles to counteract the major pathophysiological abnormalities in heart failure complicated by renal dysfunction. Finally, we underline that the mild transient worsening of renal function after decongestive therapy is not usually associated with adverse prognosis. Accordingly, the coexistence of cardiovascular and renal diseases inevitably means mediating between preserving renal function and improving cardiac activity to reach a better outcome.

Abstract
Bone mineral abnormalities (defined as Chronic Kidney Disease Mineral Bone Disorder; CKD-MBD) are prevalent and associated with a substantial risk burden and poor prognosis in CKD population. Several lines of evidence support the notion that a large proportion of patients receiving maintenance dialysis experience a suboptimal biochemical control of CKD-MBD. Although no study has ever demonstrated conclusively that CKD-MBD control is associated with improved survival, an expanding therapeutic armamentarium is available to correct bone mineral abnormalities. In this position paper of Lombardy Nephrologists, a summary of the state of art of CKD-MBD as well as a summary of the unmet clinical needs will be provided. Furthermore, this position paper will focus on the potential and drawbacks of a new injectable calcimimetic, etelcalcetide, a drug available in Italy since few months ago.

Multicenter study on parathyroidectomy (PTX) in Italy: preliminary results. J Nephrol 2018; 31:767-773. [PMID: 30155676 DOI: 10.1007/s40620-018-0527-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/22/2018] [Accepted: 08/16/2018] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND When medical therapy is unable to achieve biochemical control of secondary hyperparathyroidism, parathyroidectomy (PTX) is indicated, fortunately in a minority of patients. Thus, data on PTX prevalence and biochemical control are limited and, in particular in Italy, date back to 1999. METHODS We designed a prospective, observational and multicenter study to collect data from dialysis units distributed throughout the Italian regions. Clinical data were collected with a dedicated data sheet. RESULTS From January to December 2010, 149 Centers serving a total of 12,515 patients provided data on 528 living PTX cases (PTX prevalence = 4.2%). Prevalence was higher in hemo- than in peritoneal dialysis (4.5 vs. 1.9%, X2 = 21.52; p < 0.001), with non-significant regional differences (range 0.8-7.4%). PTX patients were younger (57.6 ± 12.5 vs. 67.1 ± 14.5 years; p < 0.001), more frequently female (56 vs. 38%, X2 = 68.05, p < 0.001) and had been on dialysis for a longer time (14.63 ± 8.37 vs. 4.8 ± 6.0 years, p < 0.001) compared to the 11,987 who did not undergo neck surgery. Median time since surgery was 6.0 years (3.0-9.0; 50%, IQR). The most frequent type of surgery was subtotal PTX (sPTX = 55.0%), significantly higher than total PTX (tPTX = 38.7%) or total PTX plus auto-transplantation (aPTX = 6.3%) (X2 = 5.18; Bonferroni post-hoc test, sPTX vs. tPTX + aPTX = p < 0.05). As for parathyroid hormone (PTH), calcium and phosphate control, cases targeting the KDOQI ranges were 18, 50.1 and 54.4%, respectively. The most prevalent biochemical condition was low PTH (62.7%). CONCLUSION PTX prevalence in Italy is stable compared to previous observations, is higher in hemodialysis than in peritoneal dialysis and results in a suboptimal biochemical control.
