Evaluation of peptidylarginine deiminase 4 and PADI4 polymorphisms in sepsis-in...
Costa,Nara Aline; Polegato,Bertha Furlan; Pereira,Amanda Gomes; Paiva,Sérgio Alberto Rupp de; Gut,Ana Lúcia; Balbi,André Luís; Ponce,DanielaSUMMARY BACKGROUND: The aim of this study is to evaluate the peptidylarginine deiminase 4 (PAD 4) concentration and PADI4 polymorphisms as predictors of acute kidney injury (AKI) development, the need for renal replacement therapy (RRT), and mortality in patients with septic shock. METHODS: We included all individuals aged ≥ 18 years, with a diagnosis of septic shock at ICU admission. Blood samples were taken w...
Longitudinal changes in nutritional parameters and resting energy expenditure i...
Oliveira,Mariana Cassani; Bufarah,Marina Nogueira Berbel; Ponce,Daniela; Balbi,AndréAbstract Aims: To evaluate the nutritional status, resting energy expenditure, caloric and protein intake, and evolution of biochemical parameters in three stages of chronic kidney disease: pre-dialytic, at the beginning of the dialysis treatment, and 30 days after starting treatment. Methods: The chi-square and Student’s t tests were used to compare the variables, and analysis of repeated measurements was used...
Concordance analysis between dosed serum bicarbonate and that calculated by gas...
Andrade,Luis Gustavo Modelli de; Muniz,Ananda Barbosa; Mondelli,Alessandro Lia; Ponce,DanielaAbstract Introduction: The control of metabolic acidosis in dialysis patients focuses on the supply of bicarbonate during the dialysis session, and it is not standard in all hemodialysis to assess serum bicarbonate concentrations. Bicarbonate expressed in blood gas analysis is the most sensitive standard of analysis and it is measured indirectly, using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation. There are no studies in...
Biochemistry and Renal Function: Use of Inquiry-Based Teaching Sequences for Re...
Magalhães,Prislaine Pupolin; Oliveira,Rodrigo Cardoso; Ponce,Daniela; Zuliani,Silvia Regina Quijadas AroABSTRACT Current teaching proposals involve teaching strategies that seek to assist and encourage the construction of knowledge by the students, turning them into active participants during the learning process and these have been the subject of several researches. This article reports a didactic sequence carried out with students of applied training for the first year Medical Sciences USP – Bauru, and proposes...
Daily variability of resting energy expenditure in acute kidney injury patients...
Góes,Cassiana Regina de; Sanches,Ana Claudia Soncini; Balbi,André; Ponce,DanielaAbstract Introduction: It is needed for nutrition prescription correct estimate of resting energy expenditure (REE), which is a challenge given the possible daily variation in critically ill patients with acute kidney injury (AKI). Objective: To evaluate the daily variability of REE measured by indirect calorimetry (IC) in patients with AKI and dialysis indication and identify clinical variables associated with...
The use of antimicrobials in septic patients with acute kidney injury
Freitas,Fernanda Moreira de; Zamoner,Welder; Garms,Durval Sampaio de Souza; Oliveira,Mariele Gobo de; Balbi,André Luis; Ponce,DanielaAbstract Sepsis is the most common cause of death in critically ill patients and it may be associated with multiorgan failure, including acute kidney injury (AKI). This situation can require acute renal support and increase mortality. Therefore, it is essential to administrate antimicrobials in dosis to achieve adequate serum levels, preventing overdosis and drug toxicity or underdosing and risk for resistance ...
Peritoneal dialysis as the first dialysis treatment option initially unplanned
Mendes,Marcela Lara; Alves,Camila Albuquerque; Bucuvic,Edwa Maria; Dias,Dayana Bitencourt; Ponce,DanielaAbstract Most patients with stage 5 CKD start RRT of unplanned manner. Unplanned dialysis, also known as urgent start, may be defined as hemodialysis (HD) started without permanent vascular access, i.e., using a central venous catheter (CVC), or as peritoneal dialysis (PD) started within seven days after implantation of the catheter, without family training. Although few studies have evaluated the PD as an imme...
Resting energy expenditure in critically ill patients: Evaluation methods and c...
Sanches,Ana Cláudia Soncini; Góes,Cassiana Regina de; Bufarah,Marina Nogueira Berbel; Balbi,André Luiz; Ponce,DanielaSummary Patients on intensive care present systemic, metabolic, and hormonal alterations that may adversely affect their nutritional condition and lead to fast and important depletion of lean mass and malnutrition. Several factors and medical conditions can influence the energy expenditure (EE) of critically ill patients, such as age, gender, surgery, serious infections, medications, ventilation modality, and o...
The long-term outcome after acute kidney injury: a narrative review
Pôncio,Luana; Balbi,Andre Luis; Rocha,Érica Pires da; Dias,Dayana Bitencourt; Ponce,DanielaThis review will focus on long-term outcomes after acute kidney injury (AKI). Surviving AKI patients have a higher late mortality compared with those admitted without AKI. Recent studies have claimed that long-term mortality in patients after AKI varied from 15% to 74% and older age, presence of previous co-morbidities, and the incomplete recovery of renal function have been identified as risk factors for reduc...
Abordagem da oclusão trombótica dos cateteres de longa permanência dos paciente...
Mendes,Marcela Lara; Barretti,Pasqual; Silva,Tricya Nunes Vieira da; Ponce,DanielaResumo Atualmente, cateteres venosos permanentes (CVCp) estão se tornando cada vez mais uma alternativa de acesso vascular de longa permanência para pacientes nos quais o acesso arteriovenoso não pode ser confeccionado, sendo a oclusão trombótica complicação mecânica comum. Essa complicação pode ocasionar mudanças frequentes dos locais de cateter, eliminando os sítios vasculares. Este estudo teve como objetivo ...
