Abstract
BACKGROUND The recommended schedule for single capsule bismuth quadruple therapy (scBQT, Pylera) includes a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) two times a day and three scBQT capsules four times a day. Four times a day treatments are inconvenient and reduce adherence. In contrast, adherence improves with three times a day schedules. In clinical practice, many gastroenterologists use four capsule scBQT three times a day. However, the effectiveness and safety of this latter approach remain uncertain. AIM To assess the effectiveness and safety of scBQT administered three times a day in the patients included in the European Registry on Helicobacter pylori Management (Hp-EuReg). METHODS All Spanish adult patients registered in the Asociación Española de Gastroenterología Research Electronic Data Capture (REDCap) database from June 2013 to March 2021 receiving 10-day scBQT were analysed. Modified intention-to-treat effectiveness, adherence and the safety of scBQT given three times a day were calculated and compared with the four times a day schedule. A multivariate analysis was performed to determine independent factors predicting cure of the infection. RESULTS Of the 3712 cases, 2516 (68%) were four times a day and 1196 (32%) three times a day. Mean age was 51 years, 63% were women and 15% had a peptic ulcer. The three times a day schedule showed significantly better overall cure rates than four times a day (1047/1112, 94%; 95% CI 92.7 to 95.6 vs 2207/2423, 91%; 95% CI 89.9 to 92.2, respectively, p=0.002). Adherence and safety data were similar for both regimens. In the multivariate analysis, three times a day dosage, first-line therapy, use of standard or high-dose PPIs and adherence over 90% were significantly associated with cure of the infection. CONCLUSIONS ScBQT prescribed three times a day was more effective than the traditional four times a day schedule. No differences were observed in treatment adherence or safety.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS After a first Helicobacter pylori eradication attempt, approximately 20% of patients will remain infected. The aim of the current study was to assess the effectiveness and safety of second-line empiric treatment in Europe. METHODS This international, multicenter, prospective, non-interventional registry aimed to evaluate the decisions and outcomes of H pylori management by European gastroenterologists. All infected adult cases with a previous eradication treatment attempt were registered with the Spanish Association of Gastroenterology-Research Electronic Data Capture until February 2021. Patients allergic to penicillin and those who received susceptibility-guided therapy were excluded. Data monitoring was performed to ensure data quality. RESULTS Overall, 5055 patients received empiric second-line treatment. Triple therapy with amoxicillin and levofloxacin was prescribed most commonly (33%). The overall effectiveness was 82% by modified intention-to-treat analysis and 83% in the per-protocol population. After failure of first-line clarithromycin-containing treatment, optimal eradication (>90%) was obtained with moxifloxacin-containing triple therapy or levofloxacin-containing quadruple therapy (with bismuth). In patients receiving triple therapy containing levofloxacin or moxifloxacin, and levofloxacin-bismuth quadruple treatment, cure rates were optimized with 14-day regimens using high doses of proton pump inhibitors. However, 3-in-1 single capsule or levofloxacin-bismuth quadruple therapy produced reliable eradication rates regardless of proton pump inhibitor dose, duration of therapy, or previous first-line treatment. The overall incidence of adverse events was 28%, and most (85%) were mild. Three patients developed serious adverse events (0.3%) requiring hospitalization. CONCLUSIONS Empiric second-line regimens including 14-day quinolone triple therapies, 14-day levofloxacin-bismuth quadruple therapy, 14-day tetracycline-bismuth classic quadruple therapy, and 10-day bismuth quadruple therapy (as a single capsule) provided optimal effectiveness. However, many other second-line treatments evaluated reported low eradication rates. ClincialTrials.gov number: NCT02328131.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The safety of Helicobacter pylori eradication treatments and to what extent adverse events (AEs) influence therapeutic compliance in clinical practice are hardly known. Our aim was to assess the frequency, type, intensity, and duration of AEs, and their impact on compliance, for the most frequently used treatments in the "European Registry on Helicobacter pylori management." METHODS Systematic prospective noninterventional registry of the clinical practice of European gastroenterologists (27 countries, 300 investigators) on the management of H. pylori infection in routine clinical practice. All prescribed eradication treatments and their corresponding safety profile were recorded. AEs were classified depending on the intensity of symptoms as mild/moderate/severe and as serious AEs. All data were subject to quality control. RESULTS The different treatments prescribed to 22,492 patients caused at least 1 AE in 23% of the cases; the classic bismuth-based quadruple therapy was the worst tolerated (37% of AEs). Taste disturbance (7%), diarrhea (7%), nausea (6%), and abdominal pain (3%) were the most frequent AEs. The majority of AEs were mild (57%), 6% were severe, and only 0.08% were serious, with an average duration of 7 days. The treatment compliance rate was 97%. Only 1.3% of the patients discontinued treatment due to AEs. Longer treatment durations were significantly associated with a higher incidence of AEs in standard triple, concomitant, bismuth quadruple, and levofloxacin triple or quadruple therapies. DISCUSSION Helicobacter pylori eradication treatment frequently induces AEs, although they are usually mild and of limited duration. Their appearance does not interfere significantly with treatment compliance.

Abstract
Maternal grazing may benefit the fatty acid (FA) profile of lamb meat, although any improvement in terms of healthier polyunsaturated FAs (PUFA) may be impaired during subsequent culinary treatments. The objective was to assess the effects of a grass-based ewe diet on the FA profile of the ready-to-eat meat from grain-fed Segureña light lamb. The FA were determined in raw, grilled (G), Sous Vide (SV) cooked and cooked/hot-held (H) lamb leg patties resulting from two maternal rearing systems: grazing (Mediterranean trees, shrubs, herbs, stubble and fallow) or indoors (cereal grain and lucerne pellets). The grass-based ewe diet increased (P < 0.05) levels of n-3 PUFA and total linoleic conjugated acid (CLA), and decreased those of n-6 long chain PUFA and saturated FA (SFA) in the patties from all treatments. These changes in FA slightly increased (P < 0.05) the PUFA/SFA ratio and decreased (P < 0.05) the n-6/n-3 ratio in the raw (from 8.7 to 6.3), SV (from 8.8 to 6.2), G (from 9.0 to 6.3), SV + H (from 8.2 to 6.3) and G + H (from 9.3 to 6.4) patties, improving the atherogenic, thrombogenic and saturation indexes. The effects of the ewe's diet on lamb FA remained unaltered after successive culinary treatments, including aerobically mincing, cooking at an internal temperature of 72 °C and H at 65 °C for 4 h. Heating induced a partial degradation of meat PUFA but also favoured the loss of high saturated melted fat. Both facts balanced the PUFA/SFA ratio in cooked lamb despite the gradual formation of oxidised secondary lipids to the detriment of FA. Grilling or SV cooking did not affect the remaining levels of undegraded FA in the freshly cooked lamb, although SV improved the results obtained for the cooked/H lamb. Maternal diets based on grass result in a healthier ready-to-eat lamb.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Different bismuth quadruple therapies containing proton-pump inhibitors, bismuth salts, metronidazole, and a tetracycline have been recommended as third-line Helicobacter pylori eradication treatment after failure with clarithromycin and levofloxacin. AIM To evaluate the efficacy and safety of third-line treatments with bismuth, metronidazole, and either tetracycline or doxycycline. METHODS Sub-study with Spanish data of the "European Registry on H pylori Management" (Hp-EuReg), international multicenter prospective non-interventional Registry of the routine clinical practice of gastroenterologists. After previous failure with clarithromycin- and levofloxacin-containing therapies, patients receiving a third-line regimen with 10/14-day bismuth salts, metronidazole, and either tetracycline (BQT-Tet) or doxycycline (BQT-Dox), or single capsule (BQT-three-in-one) were included. Data were registered at AEG-REDCap database. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed. RESULTS Four-hundred and fifty-four patients have been treated so far: 85 with BQT-Tet, 94 with BQT-Dox, and 275 with BQT-three-in-one. Average age was 53 years, 68% were women. Overall modified intention-to-treat and per-protocol eradication rates were 81% (BQT-Dox: 65%, BQT-Tet: 76%, BQT-three-in-one: 88%) and 82% (BQT-Dox: 66%, BQT-Tet: 77%, BQT-three-in-one: 88%), respectively. By logistic regression, higher eradication rates were associated with compliance (OR = 2.96; 95% CI = 1.01-8.84) and no prior metronidazole use (OR = 1.96; 95% CI = 1.15-3.33); BQT-three-in-one was superior to BQT-Dox (OR = 4.46; 95% CI = 2.51-8.27), and BQT-Tet was marginally superior to BQT-Dox (OR = 1.67; 95% CI = 0.85-3.29). CONCLUSION Third-line H pylori eradication with bismuth quadruple treatment (after failure with clarithromycin and levofloxacin) offers acceptable efficacy and safety. Highest efficacy was found in compliant patients and those taking 10-day BQT-three-in-one or 14-day BQT-Tet. Doxycycline seems to be less effective and therefore should not be recommended.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Experience in Helicobacter pylori eradication treatment of patients allergic to penicillin is very scarce. A triple combination with a PPI, clarithromycin (C), and metronidazole (M) is often prescribed as the first option, although more recently the use of a quadruple therapy with PPI, bismuth (B), tetracycline (T), and M has been recommended. AIM To evaluate the efficacy and safety of first-line and rescue treatments in patients allergic to penicillin in the "European Registry of H pylori management" (Hp-EuReg). METHODS A systematic prospective registry of the clinical practice of European gastroenterologists (27 countries, 300 investigators) on the management of H pylori infection. An e-CRF was created on AEG-REDCap. Patients with penicillin allergy were analyzed until June 2019. RESULTS One-thousand eighty-four patients allergic to penicillin were analyzed. The most frequently prescribed first-line treatments were as follows: PPI + C + M (n = 285) and PPI + B + T + M (classic or Pylera® ; n = 250). In first line, the efficacy of PPI + C + M was 69%, while PPI + B + T + M reached 91% (P < .001). In second line, after the failure of PPI + C + M, two rescue options showed similar efficacy: PPI + B + T + M (78%) and PPI + C + levofloxacin (L) (71%) (P > .05). In third line, after the failure of PPI + C + M and PPI + C + L, PPI + B + T + M was successful in 75% of cases. CONCLUSION In patients allergic to penicillin, a triple combination with PPI + C + M should not be generally recommended as a first-line treatment, while a quadruple regimen with PPI + B + T + M seems to be a better option. As a rescue treatment, this quadruple regimen (if not previously prescribed) or a triple regimen with PPI + C + L could be used but achieved suboptimal (<80%) results.

Abstract
The contributions of membrane biocompatibility, dialysate temperature and sodium concentration to hemodynamic stability during hemodialysis were studied in 8 patients with a high incidence of hemodialysis-induced symptomatic hypotension. Patients were treated during 8 different periods, randomly ordered in each case, resulting from the combination of the following: the membrane, either Cuprophan or Polyacrylonitrile; the dialysate temperature, 37 or 35°C, and the sodium concentration, 133 or 139 mmol/l. The incidence of symptomatic hypotension was lower at 35°C in the entire study with either membrane and either sodium concentration. It was also lower with a sodium concentration of 139 mmol/l with either temperature and either membrane. There was a lower incidence of symptomatic hypotension when using Polyacrylonitrile, but this difference was not significant. We conclude that changes in physicochemical parameters of dialysate lead to worth-while improvement of symptomatic hypotension in hemodialysis patients, but membrane biocompatibility seems to play a minor role.

Abstract
To assess the usefulness of dipyridamole thallium perfusion imaging in the evaluation of myocardial perfusion in hemodialysis (HD), we studied 29 HD patients divided into three groups: A) 13 patients with clinical angina, B) 8 patients without angina but similar in age, sex, time on HD and hematocrit and C) 8 young asymptomatic patients (mean age 33 ± 9.7 years). Dipyridamole thallium-201 (TI-201) perfusion imaging revealed myocardial perfusion defects in 8 patients (61%) from group A, 4 (50%) from group B and 1 (12.5%) from group C. These defects were localized in the inferior, posterior and septal segments of the left ventricle. Abnormal myocardial perfusion was associated with age over 50 years and aortic calcifications (p < 0.05). Eight patients died within the following four years. All had aortic calcifications (p < 0.001). Our results show that myocardial perfusion defects are frequent even in non-symptomatic HD patients. This suggests that ischemic heart disease could be more frequent than estimated by clinical symptoms alone. TI-201 scintigraphy may be a useful non-invasive procedure in cardiological evaluation of HD patients

Abstract
The long-term impact of erythropoietin (EPO) treatment on cardiac structures and function was prospectively studied in eight hypertensive (Group I) and seven normotensive (Group II) patients on hemodialysis (HD). Doppler-echocardiograms were done before EPO and at two and twelve months of treatment. Mean hemoglobin (± SD) before EPO was 6.4 ± 0.9; it rose significantly up to two months and then remained constant. At two months, cardiac index (CI) had significantly decreased, while peripheral vascular resistances increased. Five patients required increased antihypertensive drug treatment. No changes were seen in myocardial parameters at this short follow-up. After one year, left ventricular mass index (LVMi) decreased (p < 0.05) in both groups concomitantly with a decrease in diastolic diameter and septum and posterior wall thicknesses. Basal LVMi was higher in Group I than in Group II, and after one year the regression was more marked in Group II. Left cardiac work showed prompt and steady improvement in both groups. Maintained partial correction of anemia with EPO during one year was associated with a return to normal of high CI, decreased left cardiac work and impressive regression of left ventricular hypertrophy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The most commonly used second-line Helicobacter pylori eradication regimens are bismuth-containing quadruple therapy and levofloxacin-containing triple therapy, both offering suboptimal results. Combining bismuth and levofloxacin may enhance the efficacy of rescue eradication regimens. AIMS To evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of a second-line quadruple regimen containing levofloxacin and bismuth in patients whose previous H. pylori eradication treatment failed. METHODS This was a prospective multicenter study including patients in whom a standard triple therapy (PPI-clarithromycin-amoxicillin) or a non-bismuth quadruple therapy (PPI-clarithromycin-amoxicillin-metronidazole, either sequential or concomitant) had failed. Esomeprazole (40 mg b.d.), amoxicillin (1 g b.d.), levofloxacin (500 mg o.d.) and bismuth (240 mg b.d.) was prescribed for 14 days. Eradication was confirmed by (13) C-urea breath test. Compliance was determined through questioning and recovery of empty medication envelopes. Incidence of adverse effects was evaluated by questionnaires. RESULTS 200 patients were included consecutively (mean age 47 years, 67% women, 13% ulcer). Previous failed therapy included: standard clarithromycin triple therapy (131 patients), sequential (32) and concomitant (37). A total of 96% took all medications correctly. Per-protocol and intention-to-treat eradication rates were 91.1% (95%CI = 87-95%) and 90% (95%CI = 86-94%). Cure rates were similar regardless of previous (failed) treatment or country of origin. Adverse effects were reported in 46% of patients, most commonly nausea (17%) and diarrhoea (16%); 3% were intense but none was serious. CONCLUSIONS Fourteen-day bismuth- and levofloxacin-containing quadruple therapy is an effective (≥90% cure rate), simple and safe second-line strategy in patients whose previous standard triple or non-bismuth quadruple (sequential or concomitant) therapies have failed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Aim was to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of a moxifloxacin-containing second-line triple regimen in patients whose previous Helicobacter pylori eradication treatment failed. METHODS Prospective multicentre study including patients in whom a triple therapy or a non-bismuth-quadruple-therapy failed. Moxifloxacin (400mg qd), amoxicillin (1g bid), and esomeprazole (40 mg bid) were prescribed for 14 days. Eradication was confirmed by (13)C-urea-breath-test. Compliance was determined through questioning and recovery of empty medication envelopes. RESULTS 250 patients were consecutively included (mean age 48 ± 15 years, 11% with ulcer). Previous (failed) therapy included: standard triple (n = 179), sequential (n = 27), and concomitant (n = 44); 97% of patients took all medications, 4 were lost to follow-up. Intention-to-treat and per-protocol eradication rates were 82.4% (95% CI, 77-87%) and 85.7% (95% CI, 81-90%). Cure rates were similar independently of diagnosis (ulcer, 77%; dyspepsia, 82%) and previous treatment (standard triple, 83%; sequential, 89%; concomitant, 77%). At multivariate analysis, only age was associated with eradication (OR = 0.957; 95% CI, 0.933-0.981). Adverse events were reported in 25.2% of patients: diarrhoea (9.6%), abdominal pain (9.6%), and nausea (9.2%). CONCLUSION 14-day moxifloxacin-containing triple therapy is an effective and safe second-line strategy in patients whose previous standard triple therapy or non-bismuth quadruple (sequential or concomitant) therapy has failed, providing a simple alternative to bismuth quadruple regimen.

Abstract
AIM To determine the influence of antithrombotic therapy upon the course of non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGB). METHODS A cohort study was made of consecutive patients admitted to hospital with non-variceal UGB. Three cohorts were defined: patients receiving vitamin K antagonists (AC); patients with antiplatelet treatment (AP), and patients with neither of these treatments (noACAP) as control group. Outcome was assessed by: (a) number of days in hospital; (b) mortality rate; (c) need for urgent surgery, and (d) rebleeding. The measure of the association between antithrombotic therapy and the course of UGB was adjusted for confounders (age, sex, comorbidity, and the use of NSAIDs and PPIs at the time of UGB presentation). RESULTS A total of 392 consecutive patients were included: 43 were AC, 107 AP, and 242 noACAP patients. There were no significant differences among groups in terms of rebleeding (AC 11.6%, AP 7.5%, NoACAP 9.1%), the need for urgent surgery (AC 2.3%, AP 1.9%, NoACAP 1.2%) or mortality rate (AC 4.7%, AP 5.6%, NoACAP 5.8%). The number of days in hospital was greater in the AC cohort (4.81 more days; 95% CI 2.83-6.79, p < 0.001). After adjusting for age and comorbidity, the increase in days in hospital among the AC patients was 3.24 days (95% CI 1.22-5.26). CONCLUSIONS Neither anticoagulation nor antiplatelet treatment exerts an influence upon the course of non-variceal UGB. Nevertheless, anticoagulation is associated with a longer hospital stay. This is partially explained by the older age and increased comorbidity of the patients subjected to such treatment.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The use of M-tor inhibitors plus withdrawal of anticalcineurins after 3 months of posttransplantation is usually linked to improvements in renal function. The long-term effects of substitution of anticalcineurinis by everolimus remain unknown. The aim in this study was to evaluate the evolution of renal function and the proteinuria after a complete switch of long-term functioning allograft patients to everolimus. We treated 30 renal transplanted patients with everolimus, at a mean time posttransplantation of 123.8 +/- 74.2 months. The 27 patients, including 17 treated with tacrolimus and 10 with cyclosporine, who were controlled for at least 6 months were included in this study. Seventeen of them were diagnosed to display chronic allograft nephropathy (CAN). RESULTS The patients with CAN showed a basal creatinine of 1.81 +/- 0.4; with after a year, 1.61 +/- 0.38; and after 2 years, 1.56 +/- 0.49 mg/dL (P < .05). No significant changes were observed among patients without CAN: 1.1 +/- 0.32, 0.97 +/- 0.15, and 0.97 +/- 0.15 mg/dL, respectively. In CAN patients, the protein/creatinine quotient was: basal = 0.30 +/- 0.13, one year = 0.63 +/- 0.68, and 2 years = 0.48 +/- 0.34. In the other patients the values were 0.2 +/- 0.07, 0.73 +/- 0.7, and 0.32 +/- 0.17, respectively, after a late switch to everolimus. CONCLUSION The improved renal function occurred mainly in patients with CAN. Patients who did not suffer from it showed a greater rise in proteinuria. Nevertheless, both groups experienced decreased proteinuria after 2 years.

Abstract
Protein-losing enteropathy is characterized by excessive leaking of serum proteins into the gastrointestinal tract, as a result of disease progression in several diseases. We report the case of a 17-year-old-woman with hypoproteinemia, generalized edema and serosal effusions diagnosed as protein-losing enteropathy due to right ventricular failure secondary to previous surgical damage. All previously described therapies were ineffective in curing or relieving the disease or its symptoms, and the patient was listed for heart transplantation. During the 7-month period on the waiting list, the patient was managed as an outpatient, with fortnightly albumin infusions and intravenous furosemide administration, which allowed her a better quality of life during that period, avoiding further admissions.

Abstract
AIM Quadruple therapy is generally recommended as second-line therapy after Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) eradication failure. However, this regimen requires the administration of four drugs with a complex scheme, is associated with a relatively high incidence of adverse effects, and bismuth salts are not available worldwide anymore. Our aim was to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of a triple second-line levofloxacin-based regimen in patients with H. pylori eradication failure. DESIGN Prospective multicenter study. PATIENTS in whom a first treatment with proton pump inhibitor-clarithromycin-amoxicillin had failed. INTERVENTION A second eradication regimen with levofloxacin (500 mg b.i.d.), amoxicillin (1 g b.i.d.), and omeprazole (20 mg b.i.d.) was prescribed for 10 days. OUTCOME Eradication was confirmed with (13)C-urea breath test 4-8 wk after therapy. Compliance with therapy was determined from the interview and the recovery of empty envelopes of medications. Incidence of adverse effects was evaluated by means of a specific questionnaire. RESULTS Three hundred consecutive patients were included. Mean age was 48 yr, 47% were male, 38% had peptic ulcer, and 62% functional dyspepsia. Almost all (97%) patients took all the medications correctly. Per-protocol and intention-to-treat eradication rates were 81% (95% CI 77-86%) and 77% (73-82%). Adverse effects were reported in 22% of the patients, mainly including nausea (8%), metallic taste (5%), abdominal pain (3%), and myalgias (3%); none of them were severe. CONCLUSION Ten-day levofloxacin-based rescue therapy constitutes an encouraging second-line strategy, representing an alternative to quadruple therapy in patients with previous proton pump inhibitor-clarithromycin-amoxicillin failure, being simple and safe.

Abstract
Relapses of p-ANCA vasculitis during chronic dialysis treatment are infrequent. We report a patient with a pulmonary-renal syndrome and p-ANCA vasculitis who relapsed one year after starting hemodialysis treatment. Treatment with steroids and cyclosphosphamide successfully controlled the relapse, though cyclophosphamide had to be discontinued because of leucopenia. Clinical features of renal vasculitis, relapse after dialysis, the usefulness of ANCA titles as possible predictors and therapeutic options are discussed.

Abstract
Great interindividual variability in the pharmacokinetics of mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) exists among kidney transplanted patients. The within-patient variability in stable transplanted patients is not well established. We performed 258 determinations of trough MMF levels in 86 stable transplant patients without hematological or gastrointestinal toxicity after at least year of a functioning kidney and a fixed dose of MMF. We examined the within-patient variability of levels related with clinical factors (age, gender, underlying cause of kidney failure, time since transplant, associated immunosuppression, and MMF dose) and analytical factors (serum creatinine, proteinuria, hemoglobin). Trough MMF levels were 3.6 mg/L, percentile (Pc) 25 1.6 mg/L, Pc 75 4.4 mg/L with intraindividual variability median of 65% (Pc 25 14%, Pc 75 79%). For the data analysis a variation of 14% was chosen, which corresponded to the 25th percentile. We did not observed differences between patients with variation below or above the Pc 25 in age, gender, underling cause of kidney failure, basal MMF levels, and MMF dose. Patients with greater variations showed significantly higher serum creatinine and proteinuria values than the others (1.84 +/- 0.54 vs 1.46 +/- 0.44 mg/dL and 0.45 +/- 0.42 vs 0.19 +/- 0.14 g/L; P < .05). Therefore, great within-patient variability in trough MMF levels was associated with poor kidney function and proteinuria.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteopenia and osteoporosis are frequent complications early after transplantation. Their long-term prevalences and associations with the risk of fractures are not well known. The objective of the present work was to determine the incidence of osteopenia and osteoporosis versus vertebral fractures in renal transplant recipients with stable graft function and with a follow-up of at least 10 years. PATIENTS AND METHODS Forty renal transplant recipients, 24 men and 16 women, were included in the study. The mean age was 41.8 years and the follow-up was 130 +/- 14 months. Initial immunosuppression consisted of cyclosporine with or without an antiproliferative agent. Measurements of bone mass density (BMD) were performed by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). The assessment of vertebral fracture using conventional radiography was evaluated by semiquantitative criteria. RESULTS Eleven patients (27.5%) displayed lumbar spine osteoporosis (T-score < -2.5); 21 (52.5%), osteopenia (T-score > -2.5 and < -1) and 8 (20.0%), normal BMD. However, BMD was better preserved at the femoral neck: 14 patients (35.0%) had normal BMD; 20 (50.0%) osteopenia, and 6 (15.0%), osteoporosis. When analyzed together, patients with osteoporosis or osteopenia showed worse graft function at 1 and 8 years compared with normal BMD patients (1.75 +/- 0.634 vs 1.32 +/- 0.33 mg/dL at 1 year; P < .014) and (1.7 +/- 0.4 vs 1.2 +/- 0.2 mg/dL at 5 years; P < .01) and a greater number were prescribed vitamin D (50% vs 23%). Mild vertebral fractures were observed in 60.0% patients with osteoporosis; 70% with osteopenia; and 43% with normal lumbar BMD. Peripheral fractures were more common in patients with osteoporosis (P = .053). CONCLUSIONS Osteoporosis and osteopenia are common among long-term renal transplant recipients are associated with poorer graft function. Lumbar spine BMD osteoporosis is associated with peripheral fractures. However, mild vertebral deformities are not associated with the presence of osteopenia or osteoporosis.

Abstract
The usefulness of mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) levels in stable kidney transplant patients is not well known. We measured MMF trough levels in 137 adult kidney recipients with more than 1 year of stable graft function. The MMF dose was adjusted according to hematological or gastrointestinal toxicity, it was 500 mg in 22 (16%) patients; 750 mg in 22 (16%); 1000 mg in 69 (50.5%); 1500 mg in 15 (11%); and 2000 mg in 9 (6.5%). We analyzed the total dose, virgule dose/kg, and MMF levels in relation to efficacy parameters (creatinine, proteinuria) and hematological toxicity (erythrocytes, leukocytes, and platelets) at the time of MMF level determinations and 3 months thereafter. Statistical analyses were performed with SSPS 12.0, including sensitivity and specificity analyses by ROC. Mean MMF levels were 3.68 mg/L (Pc25, 1.6-Pc75, 4.4 mg/L) with significant differences according to dose (P < .001). Trough MMF levels did not have discriminatory capacity in the area under the ROC for anemia, renal failure, or proteinuria at the time of determination or 3 months later. The percentage of patients without proteinuria was high among patients with MMF levels between 1.6 and 4.4 mg/L. The MMF levels were low in patients who had a major increase in creatinine (1.6 vs 3.8 mg/L, P < .05). In stable renal transplant patients the levels of MMF were related to the administered dose, and they are higher than those previously described in patients with less than a year follow-up with a functioning kidney. They did not have discriminatory value at the time of determination or 3 months later. Nevertheless, low MMF levels could help recognize patients at risk of developing chronic nephropathy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND High body mass constitutes a significant risk factor for morbidity and mortality in the general population, but it has been associated with an increased survival among dialysis patients. Its effects on renal transplant outcomes are controversial. The aim of our present work was to investigate the impact of high body mass and posttransplant weight gain on patient and graft outcomes. PATIENTS AND METHODS One thousand consecutive renal transplant recipients (631 men and 369 women) were included in the study. Their mean age was 42.9 years and the follow-up was at least 2 years. Basal immunosuppression was azathioprine (Aza) and steroids in 196 patients, cyclosporine (CsA) without or with antiproliferative agent in 557, and 239 were presented tacrolimus (Tac). RESULTS At the time of transplantation the body mass index (BMI) was 23.7 +/- 3.9 kg/m2, namely, <18.5 kg/m2 in 6.3%; 18.5 to 25 in 61.7%; 25 to 30 in 25.4%; and >30 in 6.5%. Pretransplant obesity was associated with old age and female gender. Obese patients experienced a greater risk of delayed graft function (P < .01) and surgical wound complications (P < .01). After 1 year, 299 patients (29.9%) displayed weight gain >10% (mean 8.6% +/- 10.4% or 5.0 +/- 6.1 kg). Patients on Aza showed increased body weight by 11.9% +/- 10.9%; CsA patients by 9.5% +/- 10.3%, and Tac patients by 4.9% +/- 9.1% (P < .001). Univariate and multivariate analysis showed that pretransplant BMI had no effect on graft or patient survival either in the whole group or in the patients treated with CsA or TAC. Posttransplant weight gain above 5% or 10% did not influence graft or patient outcomes. CONCLUSIONS The new immunosuppressive regimes reduce posttransplant weight gain. Pretransplant high body mass and 1-year posttransplant weight gain were not risk factors for graft or patient survival in our experience.

Abstract
Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) reduces acute rejection episodes (AREs) and may be associated with better renal graft survival than azathioprine. However, MMF-related adverse events are frequent; dose reduction or even withdrawal are quite common. Between 1999 and 2003, 115 renal transplantation patients were treated with tacrolimus, MMF, and steroids. An observational study was undertaken until graft loss (n = 7), death with a functioning graft (n = 2), or October 31, 2005 (mean follow-up-50 months). We assessed MMF dose reductions due to adverse events with the possible consequences on AREs and graft function. Treated acute ARE occurred in 11.3% of recipients, all of which were steroid-responsive. The median MMF initial daily dose was 1000 mg. In 44 patients (38.3%), the MMF dose was not changed; in 48 (41.7%) it was reduced; and in 23 (20%), withdrawn. The causes for dose modification were diarrhea (n = 33, 28.7% of all patients), leukopenia (n = 22, 19.1%), both of these (n = 7, 6.1%), or other events (n = 9, 7.8%). No AREs were attributed to MMF dose changes. Tacrolimus blood levels were higher at 3 years and serum creatinine values at 4 years among patients with dose changes (8.43 +/- 2.42 vs 7.37 +/- 2.23 ng/mL; P = .051 and 1.75 +/- 0.71 vs 1.48 +/- 0.38 mg/dL; P = .038, respectively). The need for MMF dose reduction or withdrawal was frequent in our patients with diarrhea or leukopenia during treatment with tacrolimus, MMF, and steroids. These adverse event-related changes were not associated with AREs, but produced deleterious effects on long-term graft function.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The ionic dialysance monitor allows an automated measure of Kt in each dialysis session. Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) determines the total body water which it is equivalent to the urea volume of distribution (V). If the Kt, determined by ionic dialysance, is divided by the V, estimated by bioelectrical impedance, a Kt/V at the end of dialysis session (Kt/VDiBi) is obtained. AIM OF THE STUDY To evaluate the agreement between the Kt/VDiBi and the Kt/V obtained by two simplified formulas: the monocompartimental (Kt/Vm) and the equilibrated (Kt/Ve) Daugirdas equations. METHODS The Kt/VDiBi, the Kt/Vm and the Kt/Ve were determined in 38 hemodialysis patients (27 males and 11 females) in the same hemodialysis session. The patients were on dialysis three times a week for 3.5 to 4 hours. The V was determined by monofrequency bioelectrical impedance (50 kHz) at the end of the dialysis session. RESULTS The Kt/VDiBi, Kt/Vm and Kt/Ve were 1.29+/-0.26, 1.54+/-0.29 and 1.36+/-0.25, respectively (p<0.001 between the Kt/VDiBi and the KtVm, and p<0.001 between the KtV/DiBi and the Kt/Ve). The intraclass correlation coefficient showed better concordance between the KtV/DiBi and the Kt/Ve (coefficient 0.88) than between the Kt/VDiBi and the KtVm (coefficient 0.65). The relative difference of the Kt/VDiBi was 8.3+/-6.4% with respect to the Kt/Ve and 18.4+/-7.8 % with respect to the Kt/Vm (p<0.001). The relative difference between the Kt/VDiBi and the Kt/Ve was lower than 15% in the 84% of the patients and lower than 10% in the 64% of the patients. CONCLUSIONS If the V obtained by bioelectrical impedance analysis is included in the ionic dialysance monitor, we can obtain a Kt/V for each patient in real time, which is similar to the equilibrated Kt/V obtained from the Daugirdas equation.

Abstract
ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to compare the accuracy of three kidney function estimating equations: classic Cockcroft-Gault (classic CG), corrected Cockcroft-Gault (corrected CG) and simplified Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD), in patients with advanced chronic renal failure. The study was made in 84 nondialyzed patients with chronic renal disease in stage 4 or 5. The glomerular filtration rate was measured on a 24-hour urine collection as the arithmetic mean of the urea and creatinine clearances (CUrCr). In each patient, the difference between each estimating equation and the measured glomerular filtration rate was calculated. The absolute difference expressed as a percentage of the measured glomerular filtration rate indicates the intermethod variability. In the total group the glomerular filtration rate measured as the CUrCr was de 13,5+/-5,1 ml/min/1.73 m(2); and the results of the estimating equations were: classic CG 14,2+/-5 (p<0,05); corrected CG 12+/-4,2 (p<0,01) and MDRD : 12,1+/-4,8 ml/min/1.73 m(2) (p<0,01). The variability of the estimating equations was 15,2+/-12,2%, 17,1+/-13,4 % and 19,3+/-13,3% (p<0,05), for classic CG, corrected CG and MDRD respectively. The percent of estimates falling within 30% above o below the measured glomerular filtration rate was 90% for CG classic, 87% for corrected CG and 79% for MDRD. The intraclass correlation coefficients respect to CUrCr were 0,86 for classic CG, 0,81 for corrected CG and 0,77 for MDRD. The MDRD variability, but not classic CG variability or corrected CG variability, showed a positive correlation with the glomerular filtration rate (r=0,25, p<0,05). In patients with chronic renal disease in stage 5, the variability of the different estimating equations was similar. We conclude that in our population with advanced chronic renal failure the classic CG equation is more accurate than the MDRD equation. Corrected CG equation has not any advantage respect to classic CG equation.

Abstract
New immunosuppressive regimens have decreased acute rejection rates after kidney transplant. However, the use of these new agents has modified the profile of surgical complications. We compared the incidence of surgical complications in relation with the use of three types of drugs: calcineurin inhibitors, antiproliferative agents, and mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitors. This retrospective study included 359 cadaveric recipients who received an allograft between 1997 and 2004. The mean age was 54 years. The prevalence of diabetes was 8.5% and that of obesity (body mass index > 30 kg/m(2)) was 15.4%. The mean follow-up time was 44 +/- 5.6 months. The regimen most frequently used was tacrolimus (TACRO), mycophenolate mofetil (MMF), and prednisone (PRED) (n = 172), followed by TACRO-PRED (n = 49), cyclosporine (CSA) and MMF and PRED (n = 41), and CSA-azathioprine (AZA) and PRED (n = 24). A surgical complication was considered to be any type of event during the first year, although minimal, directly related to surgery. The rate of surgical complications was 34.8% (122/350). Collections and bleeding were higher in CSA than in TACRO regimens, 12% versus 3.8% (P < .05) and 11.5% versus 3% (P = .002), respectively. The incidence of lymphoceles was higher in regimens with than without mTOR inhibitors: 16% versus 3.7% (P = .012). The incidence of surgical complications was not influenced by the use of MMF or diabetes. In conclusion, the use of mTOR inhibitor-based immunosuppressive regimens leads to a higher incidence of lymphoceles, while the use of MMF does not increase the incidence of surgical complications.

Abstract
Cancer has been reported to be more common among kidney transplant recipients than waiting-list patients or the general population. Use of anticalcineurin agents and azathioprine are relevant risk factors. Nine renal allograft recipients (seven men and two women) of mean age 67.6 (55-77) years and mean time after transplantation of 30.7 (58-216) months were switched to everolimus-based immunosuppression because of the presence of biopsy-proven malignancies (eight patients) or neurological tacrolimus toxicity (one patient). One patient with posttransplant lymphoproliferative disease also received chemotherapy with a good evolution at 6 months. He showed an initial increase in the protein to creatinine ratio (peak 3.3 mg/mg at 3 months) that was controlled by increasing the enalapril dose. One patient with skin cancer and severe atheromatosis (baseline SCr 2.5 mg/dL, creatinine clearance 17 mL/min, and protein to creatinine ratio 3.2 mg/mg), had cyclosporine and everolimus overlapped for 25 days, showing a continued poor evolution requiring dialysis initiation at 3 months after switch. The other six patients with recurrent skin cancers had good cancer evolution, with no new skin tumors and regression of skin lesions in three, including not biopsied actinic keratosis. Sudden switching from calcineurin inhibitors to everolimus is safe and may be used in long-term transplant recipients with malignancies. In patients with advanced chronic nephropathy this approach appeared to be less beneficial.

In this study, the effect of dialysate temperature on hemodynamic stability, patients' perception of dialysis discomfort and postdialysis fatigue were assessed. Thirty-one patients of the morning shift were eligible to participate in the study. Three patients refused. Patients were assessed during 6 dialysis sessions: in three sessions the dialysate temperature was normal (37 degrees C) and in other three sessions the dialysate temperature was low (35.5 degrees C). To evaluate the symptoms along the dialysis procedure and the postdialysis fatigue, specific scale questionnaires were administered in each dialysis session and respective scores were elaborated. Low temperature dialysate was associated with higher postdialysis systolic blood pressure (122 +/- 24 vs. 126 +/- 27 mmHg, p < 0.05), and lower postdialysis heart rate (82 +/- 13 vs. 78 +/- 9 beats/min, p < 0.05) with the same ultrafiltration rate. Dialysis symptoms score and postdialysis fatigue score were better with the low dialysate temperature (0.7 +/- 0.9 vs. 0.4 +/- 1 vs. p < 0.05, and 1.3 +/- 1 vs. 1 +/- 0.9 p < 0.05, respectively). Furthermore, low temperature dialysate shortened the post-dialysis fatigue period (5.4 +/- 6.3 vs. 3.1 +/- 3.3 vs. hours, p < 0.05). The clinical improvement experimented with the low temperature dialysate was not universal. A beneficial effect was exclusively observed in the patients with higher dialysis symptoms and postdialysis fatigue scores or having more than one episode of hypotension in a week. The patients were asked about their temperature preference, 7 patients (23%) request a dialysate at 37 degrees C, 19 patients (61%) prefered to be dialysed with the low temperature dialysate, and 5 patients (16%) were indifferent. The later two groups of the patients continued with the low temperature dialysate during other 4 weeks. At the end of that period, the clinical improvement remained unchanged. In summary, low temperature dialysate is particularly beneficial for highly symptomatic patients.
