Nous avons étudié la clairance de l'adéfovir chez le rat normal après inhibition des transporteurs par le probénécide ainsi que chez le rat TR-déficient en MRP2. Après traitement par probénécide ou placebo, la pharmacocinétique de l'adéfovir (10 mg/kg) a été étudiée par une approche de type pharmacocinétique de population (NONMEM). La fraction de substance excrétée dans les urines est basse dans nos expériences. La clairance rénale de l'adéfovir est significativement plus basse (p < 0,05) chez les rats TRtraités par probénécide (0,03 ± 0,02 l/heure) que chez les rats témoins normaux (0,09 ± 0,05 l/heure), chez les rats normaux traités par probénécide (0,10 ± 0,07 l/ heure) et chez les rats TR-témoins (0,13 ± 0,07 l/heure). In vivo chez le rat, la mutation de MRP2 seule n'affecte pas la clairance de l'adéfovir suggérant que MRP2 ne joue pas un rôle clé dans la sécrétion de l'adéfovir. Une inhibition pharmacologique supplémentaire des transporteurs diminue sa clairance rénale, ce qui peut refléter une inhibition de mécanismes de compensation mis en oeuvre en l'absence de MRP2.

Little is known about the long-term outcome of bone status and fracture prevalence several years after transplantation. Therefore, we conducted a cross-sectional evaluation of bone status to find out the frequency and predictors of osteoporotic fractures in late kidney graft patients. Changes in spinal, hip, and total body bone mineral density were assessed using a DEXA Hologic QRD 1000 scanner, and fractures were quantified in all kidney graft patients presenting for routine evaluation with a minimal follow-up of 5 years after transplantation (with a mean follow-up 8.5+/-3.1 years). We measured biochemical markers of bone metabolism and collected clinical and dietary intake data. Fifty-nine renal graft recipients were enrolled in the study within 9 months. Osteoporosis, according to the World Health Organization definition, was observed in 31 patients (53% of the total population) and fractures occurred in 26 patients (44% of the total population and 51.6% of patients with osteoporosis). Femoral neck bone mineral density was positively correlated with patient&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;#39;s weight and cyclosporin current dosage. Steroid cumulative dosage correlated only to lumbar spine Z score. Dietary calcium, serum 25 hydroxyvitamin D, parathyroid hormone, and urinary N-telopeptides excretion were normal. These data emphasize the substantial prevalence of osteoporosis and fractures among very long-term kidney graft recipients. Therapeutic intervention in these patients is urgently needed.

Our descriptive cross-sectional study evaluates the prevalence of electrolyte and acid base disorders in HIV patients in the HAART era in a tertiary care teaching hospital. All consecutive HIV-infected patients (n = 1,232) presenting at our Department of Infectious Disease over 3 months were included. All available biochemical data obtained at admission or on the day of the visit were analyzed. We identified risk factors for electrolyte and acid base disorders with univariate regression analysis and multivariate stepwise regression analysis. Variables tested for significance included age, sex, absolute CD4 and CD8 counts, hepatitis B and C antibodies, and use and type of anti-retroviral medication. Most frequent and clinically relevant abnormalities were hyperuricemia in 41.3%, hypophosphatemia in 17.2% and low bicarbonate level in 13.6% of HIV-tested patients. Plasma magnesium was out of the normal range in 38.9% and blood glucose in 25.3% of the tested patients. When CD4 count was below 200/mm3, 9.2% of tested patients experienced low serum calcium (vs. 0.5% if CD4 count &amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;200/mm3, p &amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt; 0.002), 11.4% increased creatinine plasma level (vs. 2.3% if CD4 count &amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;200/mm3, p &amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt; 0.0001) and 24.5% low serum bicarbonate (vs. 13.7% if CD4 count &amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;200/mm3, p &amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt; 0.0001).

The profile of biochemical abnormalities in HIV-infected patients has changed, hyperuricemia and hypophosphatemia being the most prevalent. Causes are poorly understood. Interpretation of drug-induced side effects in the HIV patient is only meaningful if performed versus a control group of patients.

Adefovir (ADV), an orally administered nucleotide analogue active against hepadnaviruses, retroviruses and herpes viruses was shown to be effective in HIV-infected patients, but the prevalence of nephrotoxicity with doses of 60-120 mg/day was considered unacceptable. Recently, lower doses of ADV were shown to be effective for the treatment of HIV-1 patients with chronic lamivudine (LAM)resistant hepatitis B. Methods. In a cohort of 35 patients infected with both HIV-1 and LAM-resistant hepatitis B virus, we investigated the renal tolerance of a once-daily dose of ADV 10 mg over 52 weeks. Their mean baseline creatinine clearance was within the normal range (105 ± 3 ml/min/1.73 m 2 ). No patient had significant changes in renal function or electrolyte balance secondary to ADV treatment. Results. Transient increases in serum creatinine, which resolved by the end of the study were noted in two patients and three developed proteinuria, which was felt to be unrelated to ADV treatment. The cohort's mean serum phosphate level, 2.45 ± 0.09 mg/dl at baseline, did not change significantly under treatment (2.66 ± 0.12 mg/dl at week 52, P ¼ NS). Conclusions. Our study shows that ADV dosed at 10 mg/day for the treatment of LAM-resistant chronic hepatitis B in patients co-infected with HIV is not associated with renal tubular dysfunction or a significant change in renal function.

Vanin-1 is an epithelial ectoenzyme with a pantetheinase activity that provides cysteamine/cystamine to tissue. Using the 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS)-colitis model we show here that Vanin-1 deficiency protects from colitis. This protection is reversible by administration of cystamine or bisphenol A diglycidyl ether, a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)gamma antagonist. We further demonstrate that Vanin-1, by antagonizing PPARgamma, licenses the production of inflammatory mediators by intestinal epithelial cells. We propose that Vanin-1 is an epithelial sensor of stress that exerts a dominant control over innate immune responses in tissue. Thus, the Vanin-1/pantetheinase activity might be a new target for therapeutic intervention in inflammatory bowel disease.

Six dogs were studied for two periods. During the first period (the control period) a renal arteriography was performed with either iodixanol (Visipaque) or ioxaglate (Hexabrix) in a randomized order. Twenty minutes after applying a suprarenal clamp just above the right renal artery, two selective intrarenal contrast media administrations were performed at 30-minute intervals in a randomized order (ischemic period). During the control period ioxaglate and iodixanol induced no change in mean arterial blood pressure and pulse rate. The maximum decrease in renal blood flow (rbf) observed with ioxaglate was 19 +/- 4%. The maximum decrease in rbf observed with iodixanol was 51 +/- 16% versus control period (P = 0.05 compared with ioxaglate). During the ischemic period, renal perfusion pressure was 72 +/- 2 mm Hg and 73 +/- 2 mm Hg before iodixanol and ioxaglate administration, respectively (P = NS). Iodixanol induced a 61 +/- 11% decrease in RBF. These changes were significantly higher than those observed with ioxaglate during the control period and with the control ischemic period. Ioxaglate induced a maximum 11 +/- 6% decrease in RBF at 1 min (P < 0.05 versus iodixanol). These modifications were not significantly higher than those observed during the control period. In this study the authors found that the renal effect of iodixanol are markedly more pronounced than that of ioxaglate. In the setting of ischemia the effects of iodixanol were only slightly enhanced whereas those of ioxaglate were not modified.

Their outcome in the highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) era remains unclear. Outcomes in patients who were enrolled in the French Dialysis in HIV/AIDS (DIVA) cohort were determined in a 2-yr prospective follow-up. All HIV-infected patients who were on hemodialysis in France on January 1, 2002, were included and followed prospectively until January 1, 2004. Patients' survival was examined by Kaplan-Meier method, and mortality risk factors were examined using uni-and multicovariate analyses. Survival was compared with that of 584 hemodialysis patients who did not have HIV or diabetes and were enrolled in the French Dialysis Outcomes and Practice Patterns Study II (DOPPS II) in the same period (after standardization for the average age, gender, and ethnicity of the DIVA cohort). A total of 27,577 patients were receiving hemodialysis in France at the beginning of the study; 164 (0.59%) were infected with HIV, 72% were male, mean age was 44.8 ؎ 10.9 yr, and 65% were black. The 2-yr survival rate was 89 ؎ 2% and statistically indistinguishable from the survival of the French cohort extracted from the DOPPS II study. Significant mortality risk factors were low CD4 cell count (hazard ratio [HR] 1.4/100 CD4 cells per mm 3 lower), high viral load (HR 2.5/1 Log per ml), absence of HAART (HR 2.7), and a history of opportunistic infection (HR 3.7), the last two being independent (HR 2.6 and 3.6, respectively). Survival of HIV-infected patients who are hemodialysis has greatly improved. A prospective cohort of paired hemodialysis patients with and without HIV is required to compare better their mortality in the HAART era.

Chronic renal disease is generally appreciated as a major and rapidly growing health problem. In ... more Chronic renal disease is generally appreciated as a major and rapidly growing health problem. In the United States alone, as many as 19.5 million people may have markers of early renal disease, and more than 660,000 people are expected to require renal replacement therapy by the year 2010. By contrast, the presence and pathological role of renal disease in patients with cardiovascular disease are somewhat underrecognized. Evidence now shows that even minor impairments in renal function, as indicated by measures including glomerular filtration rate and microalbuminuria, are common in cardiovascular disease states and predictive of cardiovascular events. Indeed, microalbuminuria may be a marker of systemic vascular disease rather than kidney dysfunction alone. In patients with hypertension, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, acute coronary syndromes, and stroke, markers of renal disease have proved to be at least as predictive of morbidity and mortality as conventional risk factors. Yet, chart reviews in a variety of clinical settings reflect poor recognition and management of renal disease in at-risk patients. Models for renal protection are based on the control of risk factors, particularly blood pressure, that are associated with renal and cardiovascular outcomes. Screening protocols for markers of renal disease should recognize the potential inaccuracy of serum creatinine concentrations and the preferability of glomerular filtration rate estimates that take age and gender into account. Pilot programs for screening high-risk populations have shown efficacy in detecting renal disease.

Chronic kidney disease and metabolic syndrome are recognized as major cardiovascular risk factors... more Chronic kidney disease and metabolic syndrome are recognized as major cardiovascular risk factors. It has been shown that cystatin C has a stronger association with mortality risk than creatininebased estimations of glomerular filtration rate. We measured cystatin values in dyslipidemic patients and looked for correlations between renal function, cystatin, and metabolic syndrome. METHODS: There were 925 dyslipidemic patients prospectively included in this cross-sectional study and evaluated over 10 months. Each visit included clinical and biological assessment. RESULTS: Most patients exhibited cardiovascular risk factors other than dyslipidemia: hypertension in 34%, diabetes in 11%, and smoking in 18%. Mean triglycerides were 149 Ϯ 136 mg/dL, mean high-density lipoprotein cholesterol 54 Ϯ 14 mg/dL, and low-density lipoprotein 167 Ϯ 48 mg/dL. Metabolic syndrome was present in 238 (26%) patients. Plasma creatinine did not differ between control group and metabolic syndrome patients (80 Ϯ 26 vs 82 Ϯ 20 mol/L, respectively, P ϭ .2), but creatinine clearance evaluated by abbreviated Modification of Diet in Renal Disease Study formula was lower in the metabolic syndrome group than in the non-metabolic-syndrome group (83.3 Ϯ 18.8 mL/min/1.73m 2 vs 86.8 Ϯ 16.9 mL/min/ 1.73m 2 , respectively, P Ͻ.007). Cystatin value was significantly higher in metabolic syndrome patients than in others (0.86 Ϯ 0.23 vs 0.79 Ϯ 0.20 mg/L, respectively, P Ͻ.0001), independently of serum creatinine level and creatinine clearance. Furthermore, there was a progressive increase in cystatin, as a function of the number of metabolic syndrome components. CONCLUSIONS: Our study shows that cystatin is associated with metabolic syndrome in dyslipidemic patients. Cystatin may be an interesting marker of metabolic syndrome and of increased cardiovascular and renal risk.

Among the numerous renal diseases observed in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) patients, HIV-associated nephropathy (HIVAN) is a major cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The purpose of our study was to describe the presentation and outcome of HIVAN in the era of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). Methods. We analysed clinical features and outcome of 57 patients with histologically proven HIVAN diagnosed between 2000 and 2009 in four teaching hospitals in Paris, France.

Transient increases in serum creatinine, which resolved by the end of the study were noted in two patients and three developed proteinuria, which was felt to be unrelated to ADV treatment. The cohort's mean serum phosphate level, 2.45 ± 0.09 mg/dl at baseline, did not change significantly under treatment (2.66 ± 0.12 mg/dl at week 52, P ¼ NS). Conclusions. Our study shows that ADV dosed at 10 mg/day for the treatment of LAM-resistant chronic hepatitis B in patients co-infected with HIV is not associated with renal tubular dysfunction or a significant change in renal function.

Vanin-1 is an epithelial ectoenzyme with a pantetheinase activity that provides cysteamine/cystamine to tissue. Using the 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS)-colitis model we show here that Vanin-1 deficiency protects from colitis. This protection is reversible by administration of cystamine or bisphenol A diglycidyl ether, a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)gamma antagonist. We further demonstrate that Vanin-1, by antagonizing PPARgamma, licenses the production of inflammatory mediators by intestinal epithelial cells. We propose that Vanin-1 is an epithelial sensor of stress that exerts a dominant control over innate immune responses in tissue. Thus, the Vanin-1/pantetheinase activity might be a new target for therapeutic intervention in inflammatory bowel disease.

Six dogs were studied for two periods. During the first period (the control period) a renal arteriography was performed with either iodixanol (Visipaque) or ioxaglate (Hexabrix) in a randomized order. Twenty minutes after applying a suprarenal clamp just above the right renal artery, two selective intrarenal contrast media administrations were performed at 30-minute intervals in a randomized order (ischemic period). During the control period ioxaglate and iodixanol induced no change in mean arterial blood pressure and pulse rate. The maximum decrease in renal blood flow (rbf) observed with ioxaglate was 19 +/- 4%. The maximum decrease in rbf observed with iodixanol was 51 +/- 16% versus control period (P = 0.05 compared with ioxaglate). During the ischemic period, renal perfusion pressure was 72 +/- 2 mm Hg and 73 +/- 2 mm Hg before iodixanol and ioxaglate administration, respectively (P = NS). Iodixanol induced a 61 +/- 11% decrease in RBF. These changes were significantly higher than those observed with ioxaglate during the control period and with the control ischemic period. Ioxaglate induced a maximum 11 +/- 6% decrease in RBF at 1 min (P < 0.05 versus iodixanol). These modifications were not significantly higher than those observed during the control period. In this study the authors found that the renal effect of iodixanol are markedly more pronounced than that of ioxaglate. In the setting of ischemia the effects of iodixanol were only slightly enhanced whereas those of ioxaglate were not modified.

Their outcome in the highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) era remains unclear. Outcomes in patients who were enrolled in the French Dialysis in HIV/AIDS (DIVA) cohort were determined in a 2-yr prospective follow-up. All HIV-infected patients who were on hemodialysis in France on January 1, 2002, were included and followed prospectively until January 1, 2004. Patients' survival was examined by Kaplan-Meier method, and mortality risk factors were examined using uni-and multicovariate analyses. Survival was compared with that of 584 hemodialysis patients who did not have HIV or diabetes and were enrolled in the French Dialysis Outcomes and Practice Patterns Study II (DOPPS II) in the same period (after standardization for the average age, gender, and ethnicity of the DIVA cohort). A total of 27,577 patients were receiving hemodialysis in France at the beginning of the study; 164 (0.59%) were infected with HIV, 72% were male, mean age was 44.8 ؎ 10.9 yr, and 65% were black. The 2-yr survival rate was 89 ؎ 2% and statistically indistinguishable from the survival of the French cohort extracted from the DOPPS II study. Significant mortality risk factors were low CD4 cell count (hazard ratio [HR] 1.4/100 CD4 cells per mm 3 lower), high viral load (HR 2.5/1 Log per ml), absence of HAART (HR 2.7), and a history of opportunistic infection (HR 3.7), the last two being independent (HR 2.6 and 3.6, respectively). Survival of HIV-infected patients who are hemodialysis has greatly improved. A prospective cohort of paired hemodialysis patients with and without HIV is required to compare better their mortality in the HAART era.

In the United States alone, as many as 19.5 million people may have markers of early renal disease, and more than 660,000 people are expected to require renal replacement therapy by the year 2010. By contrast, the presence and pathological role of renal disease in patients with cardiovascular disease are somewhat underrecognized. Evidence now shows that even minor impairments in renal function, as indicated by measures including glomerular filtration rate and microalbuminuria, are common in cardiovascular disease states and predictive of cardiovascular events. Indeed, microalbuminuria may be a marker of systemic vascular disease rather than kidney dysfunction alone. In patients with hypertension, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, acute coronary syndromes, and stroke, markers of renal disease have proved to be at least as predictive of morbidity and mortality as conventional risk factors. Yet, chart reviews in a variety of clinical settings reflect poor recognition and management of renal disease in at-risk patients. Models for renal protection are based on the control of risk factors, particularly blood pressure, that are associated with renal and cardiovascular outcomes. Screening protocols for markers of renal disease should recognize the potential inaccuracy of serum creatinine concentrations and the preferability of glomerular filtration rate estimates that take age and gender into account. Pilot programs for screening high-risk populations have shown efficacy in detecting renal disease.

Chronic kidney disease and metabolic syndrome are recognized as major cardiovascular risk factors... more Chronic kidney disease and metabolic syndrome are recognized as major cardiovascular risk factors. It has been shown that cystatin C has a stronger association with mortality risk than creatininebased estimations of glomerular filtration rate. We measured cystatin values in dyslipidemic patients and looked for correlations between renal function, cystatin, and metabolic syndrome. METHODS: There were 925 dyslipidemic patients prospectively included in this cross-sectional study and evaluated over 10 months. Each visit included clinical and biological assessment. RESULTS: Most patients exhibited cardiovascular risk factors other than dyslipidemia: hypertension in 34%, diabetes in 11%, and smoking in 18%. Mean triglycerides were 149 Ϯ 136 mg/dL, mean high-density lipoprotein cholesterol 54 Ϯ 14 mg/dL, and low-density lipoprotein 167 Ϯ 48 mg/dL. Metabolic syndrome was present in 238 (26%) patients. Plasma creatinine did not differ between control group and metabolic syndrome patients (80 Ϯ 26 vs 82 Ϯ 20 mol/L, respectively, P ϭ .2), but creatinine clearance evaluated by abbreviated Modification of Diet in Renal Disease Study formula was lower in the metabolic syndrome group than in the non-metabolic-syndrome group (83.3 Ϯ 18.8 mL/min/1.73m 2 vs 86.8 Ϯ 16.9 mL/min/ 1.73m 2 , respectively, P Ͻ.007). Cystatin value was significantly higher in metabolic syndrome patients than in others (0.86 Ϯ 0.23 vs 0.79 Ϯ 0.20 mg/L, respectively, P Ͻ.0001), independently of serum creatinine level and creatinine clearance. Furthermore, there was a progressive increase in cystatin, as a function of the number of metabolic syndrome components. CONCLUSIONS: Our study shows that cystatin is associated with metabolic syndrome in dyslipidemic patients. Cystatin may be an interesting marker of metabolic syndrome and of increased cardiovascular and renal risk.
