HIV 치료를 위한 강력한 항바이러스 약물요법이 널리 사용됨에 따라 HIV에 감염된 상태에서 신장질환 발생 위험성을 지닌 채 오랜 기간 생존하는 환자들이 증가하고 있다. 본 연구는 국립중앙의료원 감염병 센터를 내원한 만18세 이상의 HIV 감염 환자를 대상으로 HIV 감염 환자에게 신기능 장애를 유발하는 위험인자를 평가하고자 환자군 대조군 연구를 후향적으로 실시하였다. 2006년 1월부터 2011년 3월까지 5년 3개월 동안 신기능이 저하된 모든 HIV 감염 환자를 환자군으로 하며, 정상 신기능을 가진 HIV 감염 환자들 중 대조군을 무작위로 선정하여 환자군과 대조군을 1:2의 비율로 하였다. 환자군과 대조군을 비교해 만성신질환을 유발하는 위험인자를 평가하기 위한 분석변수로 성별, 연령, CD4+ 세포수, 혈중 바이러스 수, HAART 56일 이상 여부, 당뇨병과 C형 간염을 선정하였다. 또한 추가적으로 개별 antiretroviral 약물들 사용과 신기능이 얼마나 관련되어 있는지 알아보기 위해 각각의 약물과 eGFR의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 환자군은 CD4+ 세포수가 < $200{\times}10^6$ cells/l 인 군이 7.7배(OR: 7.7; 95% CI, 1.8-32.9) 단백뇨가 있는 환자의 경우 7.8배(OR: 7.8; 95% CI, 1.6-37.8) 더 유의하게 만성신질환 발생위험이 높았다. 개별 antiretroviral 약물들과 eGFR의 상관관계를 분석한 결과, lamivudine 이 eGFR 과 약한 음적 상관관계를 보이는 것으로 나타났으며(r = -.211, p < .05), 다른 약물들의 경우 통계적으로 유의한 값을 보이지 않았다. 이번 환자군-대조군 연구는 HIV 감염 환자들이 만성 신질환으로 발전하는데 여러 인자들의 역할에 대해 평가하고자 하였다. 여러 변수들을 평가해 본 결과, 만성 신질환 환자들의 경우 CD4+ 세포수가 < $200{\times}10^6$ cells/l 이거나 단백뇨를 동반한 경우가 통계적으로 유의하게 많았다.

High-dose aprotinin(Hammersmith regimen) has been widely used for years to control postoperative bleeding and reduce blood consumption in cardiac surgery but had known to cause some side-effects and had disadvantage in cost-effectiveness. The prospective controlled study of 33 patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass was performed to evaluate the efficacy for reducing postoperative bleeding and unfavorable effects of low-dose aprotinin. The level of hemoglobin and platelet in the blood and the amount of postoperative bleeding were assessed preoperatively, and postoperatively for the study of hemostatic function. The level of BUN and serum creatinine in the blood, levels of urine creatinine, total protein, albumin, alpha-1-microglobulin and creatinine clearance were assessed before and after the operation for the study of renal function. The aprotinin group had a significant reduction in chest tube drainage; 243$\pm$ 123 ml versus 406$\pm$303 ml(P=0.037) during 6 hours immediate-postoperatively, 494$\pm$358 ml versus 869$\pm$570 ml(P=0.045) during 24 hours postoperatively. The ratio of alpha-1-microglobulin/creatinine and microalbumin/creatinine in the urine were slightly increased in the aprotinin group postoperatively in comparison with the control group but there were no statistically significant difference(55$\pm$23 versus 24$\pm$10 in the alpha-1-microglobulin/creatinine, 56$\pm$19 versus 38$\pm$25 in the microalbumin/creatinine at post- operative 3rd day). There were no significant difference between two groups in other parameters of renal function, too. This study showed that low-dose aprotinin is an effective means of reducing postoperative bleeding without inducing significant renal dysfunction.

It was reported that use of aprotinin in elderly patients undergoing hypothermic circulatory arrest was associated with an increased risk of renal dysfunction, and myocardial infarction as a result of intravascular coagulation. We reviewed 20 patients who received high-dose aprotinin under deep hypothermic circulatory arrest with(NP group, n= 11) or without selective cerebral perfusion(SP group, n=9). The activated clotting time was exceeded 750 seconds in all but 1 patient. After opening aortic arch, retrograde low flow perfusion was maintained through femoral artery to prevent air embolization to the visceral arteries. Four patients among 20 died during hospitalization'due to bleeding, coronary artery dissection pulmonary hemorrhage and multiple cerebral infarction. Postoperatively, cerebrovascular accidents occurred in two patients; one with preoperative carotid artery dissection and the other with unknown multiple cerebral infarction. In conclusion, use of aprotinin in young patients undergoing hypothermic circulatory arrest did not increase the risk of renal dysfunction or intravascular coagulation if ACT during circulatory arrest is maintained to exceed 750 seconds with low-flow perfusion.

The purpose of this study is to report the clinical effectiveness of Korean medicine, especially Galhwahajung-tang and Yijintang-gamibang on patient with acute alcoholic hepatitis and renal dysfunction. The patient in this case had suffered from pantalgia and dizziness with nausea. He was diagnosed as acute alcoholic hepatitis. Based on related symptoms and blood-test, we could diagnose acute alcoholic hepatitis. We treated him with Korean medicine, involving herbal decoction, acupuncture, moxibustion and cupping. We used visual analogue scale and blood-test for assessment. After 31 days of treatment, the pantalgia and dizziness with nausea were disappeared and liver function test was in the normal range. According to this study, Korean medicine, including Galhwahajung-tang and Yijintang-gamibang are an effective treatment for the cure of acute alcoholic hepatitis with renal dysfunction which occurs on crapulence.

To provide the basic data for assessment of renal dysfunction related to silicosis, urinary N-acetyl-$\beta$-D-giucobarninidase(NAG) activity known as a sensitive markers for early renal damage were measured in 58 silicosis patients, and control subjects of 40 pulmonary tuberculosis Patients and 51 official workers. The results were summarized as fellows. 1. The values of blood urea nitrogen and serum creatinine in all subjects were within reference limits. But the mean value of urinary NAG activity($7.25{\pm}7.31U/g\;creatinine$) was beyond reference value and more sensitive test than others. 2. The mean value of urinary NAG activity in silicosis group was $11.98{\pm}9.05U/g\;creatinine$ and significantly higher than in tuberculosis and healthy group(p<0.01), but the mean values of NAG activity in tuberculosis and healthy group were not different(p>0.05). 3. The value of NAG activity in tuberculosis had a tendency to be increased according to severity of disease, but that was not significant(p>0.05). The value of NAG activity was increased significantly by use of nephrotoxic antituberculosis drugs(p<0.05). 4. The value of NAG activity in silicosis had a tendecy to be increased according to the size of nodule, use of nephrotoxic antituberculosis drugs and shortness of onset duration, but the increase was not significant(p>0.05). 5. After excluding the users of nephrotoxic antituberculosis drugs, the mean values of NAG activity in healthy control and in tuberculosis control were same as 3.63 U/g creatinine and 3.60 U/g creatinine, respectively. But the mean value of NAG activity in silicosis group was remarkably increased as 10.90 U/g creatinine(p<0.01). As above results, even though there are no abnormal finding in screening renal function test, silicosis can be related with renal dysfunction. And it will be very useful to apply urinary NAG activity in health management of workers exposed to dust.

Diabetic nephropathy is a major and representative complication of type 2 diabetes. Hyperglycemia increases the incidence of diabetic nephropathy, and induces kidney inflammation, thereby causing renal fibrosis, which is an important factor in the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy. This study investigated the effects of blackcurrant extract (BLC), which has been implicated in diabetic nephropathy in db/db mice, on glomerular fibrosis and renal dysfunction. The results showed that BLC consumption in type 2 diabetic db/db mice ameliorated diabetes-related metabolic disorders, such as insulin resistance and renal dysfunction, and significantly attenuated renal inflammation and renal fibrosis in diabetic nephropathy. In conclusion, these findings suggest that BLC consumption may help prevent renal fibrosis, inflammation, and consequent diabetic nephropathy.
