Summary

Ischemic renal disease (IRD) affects 1.7% of advanced chronic renal failure (CRF) patients, often presenting with severe kidney failure. Early diagnosis and corrective treatment can significantly slow disease progression.

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Cardiovascular Medicine
  • Vascular Surgery

Background:

  • Ischemic renal disease (IRD) is a significant contributor to end-stage renal disease.
  • Prevalence data for IRD primarily comes from autopsy and retrospective arteriographic studies.
  • Accurate prevalence in advanced chronic renal failure (CRF) populations requires prospective investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To prospectively determine the prevalence of IRD in patients with advanced CRF.
  • To characterize the clinical features and underlying causes of IRD in this population.
  • To evaluate the impact of corrective treatment on renal function in IRD patients.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective study of 115 patients with advanced CRF selected from 732 individuals.
  • Clinical and laboratory evaluation, captopril renal scintigraphy, and renal arteriography were performed.
  • Follow-up of 18.4 +/- 11.4 months, with assessment of serum creatinine levels and treatment outcomes.

Main Results:

  • IRD was identified in 13 patients (11.3% of selected cohort), leading to an overall prevalence of 1.7% in the advanced CRF population.
  • Atherosclerotic renovascular disease was the most common cause (77%), with patients typically over 46 years old.
  • Patients with IRD presented with significantly higher serum creatinine levels (784 +/- 292) compared to non-IRD patients (359 +/- 126).
  • Corrective procedures in 5 IRD patients led to significant improvement in serum creatinine at 3 and 6 months compared to untreated patients.
  • Hyperlipidemia, coronary artery disease, and peripheral vascular disease were more prevalent in IRD patients.

Conclusions:

  • The prevalence of IRD in advanced CRF patients is lower than previously suggested by retrospective data.
  • IRD patients exhibit more severe renal failure at presentation but benefit significantly from corrective treatment.
  • Early detection and intervention are crucial for managing IRD and delaying the progression of renal disease.
