Renal chronic infections

Chronic infections with hepatitis B or C virus (HBV, HCV), CMV, EBV or human papillomavirus (HPV) are seen in 10% of renal transplant recipients. These infections can affect the graft (CMV) or other organs (liver for HBV and HCV), or contribute to the development of a malignant complication (EBV, HPV). In addition, carriers of M. tuberculosis before engraft-... [Pg.91]

Inflammatory and immune diseases Autoimmune disease (A,I), asthma (A), osteoarthritis (I), rheumatoid arthritis (I), septic shock (A,I), infections (A,I), familial cold auto-inflammatory syndrome (I), Muckle Wells syndrome (I), chronic infantile neurological cutaneous and articular syndrome/neonatal onset multisystemic inflammatory disease (CINCA/NOMID) (I), Crohn s disease (I), gout (I), acute renal failure (A,l)... [Pg.332]

The clinical presentation for IE is quite variable and often nonspecific. A fever is the most frequent and persistent symptom in patients but may be blunted with previous antibiotic use, congestive hear failure, chronic liver or renal failure, or infection caused by a less virulent organism (i.e., subacute disease).3 Other signs and symptoms that also may occur are listed in the Clinical Presentation box with some discussed further in detail below. [Pg.1091]

The 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine is recommended for use in all adults 65 years of age or older and adults less than 65 years who have medical comorbidities that increase the risk for serious complications from S. pneumoniae infection, such as chronic pulmonary disorders, cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, chronic liver disease, chronic renal failure, functional or anatomic asplenia, and immunosuppressive disorders. Alaskan natives and certain Native American populations are also at increased risk. Children over the age of 2 years may be vaccinated with the 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine if they are at increased risk for invasive S. pneumoniae infections, such as children with sickle cell anemia or those receiving cochlear implants. [Pg.1245]

The most commonly used screening method for HIV is an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, which detects antibodies against HIV-1 and is both highly sensitive and specific. False positives can occur in multiparous women in recent recipients of hepatitis B, HIV, influenza, or rabies vaccine following multiple blood transfusions and in those with liver disease or renal failure, or undergoing chronic hemodialysis. False negatives may occur if the patient is newly infected and the test is performed before antibody production is adequate. The minimum time to develop antibodies is 3 to 4 weeks from initial exposure. [Pg.450]

Risk factors for ARF include advanced age, acute infection, preexisting chronic respiratory or cardiovascular disease, dehydration, and chronic kidney disease (CKD). Decreased renal perfusion secondary to abdominal or coronary bypass surgery, acute blood loss in trauma, and uric acid nephropathy also increase risk. [Pg.866]

Medea indications Persons with end-stage renal disease, including patients receiving hemodialysis persons seeking evaluation or treatment for a sexually transmitted disease (STD) persons with HIV infection and persons with chronic liver disease. [Pg.1067]

Prevenar is the pneumococcal polysaccharide-conjugate vaccine and contains polysaccharide, from seven capsular types of pneumococci, which is conjugated to diphtheria toxin (protein). Prevenar is recommended for individuals at increased risk of pneumococcal infection including those over 65 years, patients with chronic heart, renal, respiratory or liver disease, diabetics and immune deficiency. It is a component of the primary course of childhood immunisation. [Pg.127]

Post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis is the result of infection with the nephritogenic strain of group A hemolytic streptococci. The streptococci are usually isolated from patients with a sore throat and, in developing countries, skin infection like impetigo or infected scabies is an important cause. There is no specific treatment except for antihypertensives, salt restriction and diuretics. Corticosteroids are of no value. The disease is self-limiting but, in some adults, it may progress to chronic renal failure. [Pg.613]

The use of pegylated interferon alfa-2a and pegylated interferon alfa-2b, as a result of slower clearance resulting in substantially longer terminal half-lives and steadier drug concentrations, allows for less frequent dosing in patients with chronic HCV infection. Renal elimination accounts for about 30% of clearance, and clearance is approximately halved in subjects with impaired renal function dosage must therefore be adjusted. [Pg.1084]
