Abstract
Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at high risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and cardiovascular death. Identifying and monitoring cardiovascular complications and hypertension is important for managing patients with CKD or kidney failure and transplant recipients. Biomarkers of myocardial ischaemia, such as troponins and electrocardiography (ECG), have limited utility for diagnosing cardiac ischaemia in patients with advanced CKD. Dobutamine stress echocardiography, myocardial perfusion scintigraphy and dipyridamole stress testing can be used to detect coronary disease in these patients. Left ventricular hypertrophy and left ventricular dysfunction can be detected and monitored using various techniques with differing complexity and cost, including ECG, echocardiography, nuclear magnetic resonance, CT and myocardial scintigraphy. Atrial fibrillation and other major arrhythmias are common in all stages of CKD, and ambulatory heart rhythm monitoring enables precise time profiling of these disorders. Screening for cerebrovascular disease is only indicated in asymptomatic patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease. Standardized blood pressure is recommended for hypertension diagnosis and treatment monitoring and can be complemented by ambulatory blood pressure monitoring. Judicious use of these diagnostic techniques may assist clinicians in detecting the whole range of cardiovascular alterations in patients with CKD and enable timely treatment of CVD in this high-risk population.

Vascular and Vasogenic Manifestations of Systemic ANCA-Associated Vasculitis with Renal Involvement in Non-Contrast Brain MRI in Patients with Acute Disease Onset. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11164863. [PMID: 36013102 PMCID: PMC9409864 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11164863] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/12/2022] [Revised: 08/06/2022] [Accepted: 08/16/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Background. Data concerning central nervous system (CNS) alterations in ANCA-associated vasculitis with renal involvement (AAVR) are sparse. The study aimed to assess vascular and vasogenic brain alterations in patients with acute onset of AAVR and the applicability of non-contrast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques in this diagnosis. Methods. Thirty-eight patients with acute onset of AAVR were included in the study. BVAS/WG, c-ANCA, p-ANCA, renal function and perfusion, neurological assessment, and brain MRI were performed. Results. Cerebral vascular alternating narrowing and dilatation (VAND) was detected in 42.1% of patients, and the black-blood was significantly more diagnostic than the TOF technique (p < 0.001). VAND occurrence was independently associated with the concentration of p-ANCA. The vasogenic white matter lesions (VWML) were found in 94.4% of patients, and in their detection, SWAN was significantly better than the FLAIR technique (p = 0.002). The number of VWML correlated with age and cranial nerve damage. Hemosiderin deposits were found in 21.6% of patients and were associated with a gait impairment and paresthesia. Conclusions. Vascular and vasogenic alterations in the CNS are frequent in patients with acute onset of systemic ANCA-associated vasculitis with renal involvement. Non-contrast MRI is useful in the diagnosis of brain vasculitis.
