The principal treatment targets are: blood pressure less than 130/80mmHg and proteinuria less than 0.5g/day (ratio of proteinuria/creatinuria <50mg/mmol). The first-line treatment to reach these goals is angiotensin conversion enzyme inhibitors (ACE inhibitors), combined with diet and other life style changes. The periodicity of clinical and laboratory assessments depends on the CKD stage, the speed of disease progression and the need to reassess the impact of therapeutic interventions. Comprehensive multidisciplinary...

Here we review the therapeutic options presently available for the various forms of hemolytic uremic syndrome and show how recent knowledge has changed the therapeutic approach and prognosis of atypical HUS.

Clinical PD symptoms include dopa-responsive motor symptoms and dopa-resistant non motor symptoms. Some of the non motor symptoms begin during the premotor stage, like constipation, hyposmia or REM-sleep disorders. Dementia, gait disorders and dysarthria occur in later stages of the disease. PD pathology extends well beyond the substantia nigra. It affects autonomic and non autonomic nuclei in the brainstem and in the medulla, the olfactory bulb and the peripheral autonomic nervous system. Alpha-synuclein aggregates, called Lewy bodies and Lewy neurites, are detectable in these structures at early stages. The study o...

They affect all segments of the digestive tract. They develop from the interstitial cells of Cajal. Mutations in the Kit gene is present in 86% of cases and in PDGFR gene in 15% of cases. The marker CD 117 is present in 95% of cases. Surgery is the standard treatment in localized forms. The tyrosine kinase inhibitor, imatinib is standard in first-line metastatic gastrointestinal stromal tumors, as well as adjuvant treatment after surgery. Sunitinib is the standard in second line.

Renal biopsy is essential for diagnosis, treatment strategy and also for the long-term prognosis of AAV. The prospective randomized trials conducted by the EUVAS and GFEV have contributed to define therapeutic guidelines. The current standard of care can be divided into two phases: initial immunosuppression for rapid and effective onset of remission and subsequent maintenance therapy to prevent relapses. Despite these recent therapeutic advances, mortality and morbidity, such as end-stage renal failure, remain high, related to diagnosis delay, drug-related toxicity, refractory disease and propensity of AAV to r...

ADAMTS13 deficiency is usually severe (<10% of normal activity) and results from autoantibodies directed to ADAMTS13 (acquired TTP) or from biallelic mutations of the encoding gene. In some cases, acquired TTP occurs in association with specific conditions that must be identified for appropriate management: a HIV infection, a connective tissue disease, a pregnancy, a...

The majority of cases in childhood (90%) is caused by Shiga toxin producing Escherichia coli infection. This typical form of the disease does not relapse and has a good prognosis if the acute status can be managed successfully.

Recurrence of lupus nephritis after transplantation is rare. Kidney transplantation in patients with antiphospholipid syndrome or lupus anticoagulant is challenging due to the high risk of immediate post-transplant thrombosis and bleeding risk associated to the subsequent anticoagulation. Moreover, vascular changes associated to the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies negatively impact allograft rate survival.

CKD is a major, independent risk factor of cardiovascular mortality and morbidity; the cardiovascular risk increases with the severity of renal failure. Evaluation of renal function (GFR) relies on MDRD and CKD-EPI equations. The French CKD-REIN cohort with more than 3000 patients followed for 5 years, will hopefully provide substantial advances in the knowledge of CKD epidemiology, of risk factors and mechanisms of CKD progression and medical practices.

Renal lesions are unspecific. Nephroangiosclerosis diagnosis is overestimated due to non standardized clinical criteria and available histological analysis. Other factors than hypertension contribute to vascular lesions.MYH9 and APOL1 polymorphisms are strongly associated with kidney diseases including hypertensive nephropathy. Elevated blood pressure levels are associated with CKD progression. Treatment includes angiotensin blockers which have a synergic effect on blood pressure reduction and lowering urinary protein excretion with sodium restriction and diuretics.

In the four disorders described in this review, the primary organ involved is the kidney. Drug-associated TMA can be an acute, immune-mediated disorder or the result of gradual, dose-dependent toxicity. TMA may occur in patients with advanced HIV infection, possibly mediated by angio-invasive infections. TMA following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation may also be caused by drug toxicity; the pathogenesis may involve inhibition of vascular endothelial cell growth factor in renal podocytes. Malignancies of many types with systemic microvascular involvement may cause TMA. Recognition that these syndromes may mimic TTP is important ...

Neutral endopeptidase was the first podocyte antigen described in human membranous nephropathy. PLA2R1, the type-M receptor of soluble phospholipase A2, is a major target antigen in so-called idiopathic membranous nephropathy in adults. Antibodies to PLA2R1 are detected in 60 to 80% of patients before immunosuppressive treatment, and are only occasionally found in secondary membranous nephropathy. To date, they have not been detected in other pathological conditions and in healthy individuals. PLA2R1 and HLA-DQA1 gene variants defined by single nucleoti...

Skin biopsy is a non invasive method which allows to quantify intraepidermal nerve fiber density after a simple immunostaining. The values measured must ideally be compared to normative data obtained on control subjects in order to determine their significance. When the diagnosis of small fiber neuropathy has been made by means of skin biopsy, possibly combined with laser evoked potentials, a diagnostic work up has to be done in order to find one of the classical causes of this disorder. To date, skin biopsy is useful to confirm the diagnosis of small fiber neuropathy but lacks utility to find its etiolo...

It significantly influences the functional prognosis and the patient survival. Glomerulopathy is the usual renal lesion in SLE and the clinical presentation can be very polymorphic, ranging from isolated proteinuria to nephrotic syndrome or rapidly progressive renal failure. The severity of the renal disease and the overall prognosis can vary according to the patient's ethnicity but the main prognostic factor is the response of the disease to the initial immunosuppressive therapy. Renal biopsy is essential for classifying the glomerular lesions, establish the prognosis and guide the clinician in the choice of the right therapeutic scheme. The induct...

These CA-MRSA are different from classical hospital-acquired MRSA. They share common characteristics: they affect mainly young subjects, without past medical history. The majority of strains produce the Panton-Valentine leukocidin. They are mainly responsible for suppurative skin infections and rarely for invasive infections such as necrotizing pneumonia. The situation in the US is alarming with a main circulating clone the USA300 clone, whereas in Europe, the diffusion of CA-MRSA strains remains limited. It is important to take advantage of the experience acquired from the US to limit the potential spread of such CA-MRSA strains. ...

Diabetes mellitusand sequelae of œsogastric surgery are the two main causes of gastroparesis. In some patients, gastroparesis seems a postinfectious disease after its sudden onset after a viral infection. In about one third of the patients, gastroparesis is considered as idiopathic. In diabetic patients, gastroparesis impairs glycaemic control. Due to the low positive predictive value of symptoms, a gastric emptying study is often necessary to confirm a suspected diagnosis of gastroparesis. The symptomatic efficacy of erythromycin is higher than that of other prokinetics. This efficacy is higher when erythromycin is given intravenously. Hyperglycaemia impairs this symptomatic effect.

Surgical resection of metastases represents the only curative treatment with prolonged survival in more than 50 % of patients. The aim of liver resection is complete excision of the lesions with histological negative margins while preserving sufficient functional liver parenchyma. In patients with diffuse liver disease, the radiofrequency ablation of metastases may be associated with surgical resection. The use of portal vein remobilization and neoadjuvant chemotherapy can also increase the number of patients for curative treatment. Despite this progress, from 50 to 60 % of patients relapse after complete resection of MHCCR. Surgical tr...

Pacemakers and implantable defibrillators are sensitive to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Medically, MRIs are theoretically contraindicated, even though examinations could be performed without a major problem, and special precautions should be taken when using an electrosurgical cutter or radiotherapy.

Since 2 years, a new AIP concept was described distinghing two AIP types because of differences between Asian and Western series. This new classification is based on pathological features. AIP type 1 is a systemic IgG4-related disease, defined by periductal lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate with obliterative phlebitis and storiform fibrosis and/or lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate with abundant IgG4 positive-plasma cells at immunostaining.

It represents a major psychological burden. During the past decade, inflammatory, cardiovascular, metabolic, and neuropsychiatric comorbidities of psoriasis have been described, especially in young patients with severe psoriasis. Whether psoriasis is an independent risk factor for these comorbidities remains a topic of scientific debate. Interpretation of available epidemiologic data is complex because of bias concerning data recruitment in the studies and non-consideration of other confounding risk factors and employed treatment.

Hyperlipidemia and glucose intolerance are more frequent than in general population.

During the 2000 decade, the treatment improvements are related to monoclonal antibodies, directed either against the EGF receptor or the VEGF receptor. The molecular characterization of the tumor, especially the presence or absence of k-ras mutation guides the use of targeted therapy. Finally, changes in habits represents an underestimated way to reduce the risk of recurrence and clinical trials are undergoing to evaluate the impact of changes in nutrition and physical exercice.

They are most often asymptomatics but carry a risk of long-term complications which can justify, in some cases, a treatment. The main complication of subclinical hyperthyroidism is atrial fibrillation, in particular after 60. Even if there is no controlled clinical trial available, treatment (usually with radioiodine) can be proposed to elderly subjects with autonomous thyroid disease (toxic adenoma or multinodular goitre) and TSH persistently below 0.1mU/L. Subclinical hypothyroidism may be associated, particularly in subjects under 60, to a multifactorial increase of cardiovascular risk. An increase of TSH ...

Thyroid cancer incidence has increased in occidental countries over the last 20 years without any significant change in mortality. This has been partially related to changes in diagnostic procedures with an increased detection of small cancers.

Hence, supportive care with mechanical ventilation remains the cornerstone of treatment. However, several experimental and clinical studies showed that mechanical ventilation, especially at high tidal volumes and pressures, can cause or aggravate ALI. Therefore, current clinical recommendations are developed with the aim of avoiding ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) by limiting tidal volume and distending ventilatory pressure according to the results of the ARDS Network trial, which has been to date the only intervention that has showed success in decreasing mortality in patients with ALI/ARDS.

Among the respiratory viruses that can affect the lung and cause ARDS, pandemic viruses head the list, with influenza viruses H5N1 and H1N1 2009 being the most recently identified. However, other viruses can cause severe ARDS. Notably, a novel coronavirus was responsible for the severe acute respiratory syndrome outbreak in 2003. Apart from these pandemic viruses, respiratory viruses are rarely responsible for viral pneumonia and ARDS. Other than antiviral drug (mainl...

Complications of the goiter appear only at stage of plurinodulaire goiter. Homogeneous simple goiters of young subjects resolve with thyroid hormone administration. Many simple multinodular goiters of adults can benefit from simple monitoring. Total thyroidectomy is recommended for goiters that become symptomatic, unsightly, accompanied by lowering of TSH concentration, or containing suspicious nodules. Radioactive iodine constitutes an alternative to surgery for voluminous, compressive, hyperfunctionnal goiters, especially in older people.

Thyroid diseases are common in young women of childbearing age while management of thyroid diseases is relatively straightforward. For each thyroid dysfunction (hypothyroxinemia, hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, postpartum thyroiditis), the issues with the obstetric complications of the mother and the fetus are considered. Indeed, early recognition of thyroid diseases during pregnancy and appropriate management has the potential to improve outcome for the mother and the fetus.

It remains one of the most devastating conditions in the intensive care unit. Mechanical ventilation with positive end-expiratory pressure is a cornerstone therapy for ARDS patients. One adjuvant alternative is to place the patient in a prone position. Since it was first described in 1976, prone positioning has been safely employed to improve oxygenation in many patients with ARDS. Prone positioning may also minimize secondary lung injury induced by mechanical ventilation, although this benefit has not been investigated as extensively, despite its potential. In spite of a strong physiological justification, prone positioning is still not w...

The variability of symptoms and the frequency of comorbidities among patients with fibromyalgia make this a difficult disorder to diagnose and treat. New diagnostic criteria are available to improve the diagnosis and care of patients. We propose the first French translation of the new diagnostic criteria proposed by the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) 2010. Although the etiology of fibromyalgia remains unclear, evidences suggest that biologic, genetic and environmental factors are involved.

It has been withdrawn from the european market in June 2010. In France, about five millions of people have been exposed to benfluorex since its market launch in 1976. At the time of its market withdrawn, over 300,000 patients in France were taking the drug. Aortic and mitral valves are the most frequent involved. The prevalence of this type of valve damage is not yet known with accuracy. Severe regurgitations appear to be rare (less than one case per thousand exposed patients-year).

It is essential to treat postmenopausal osteoporotic women who had experienced a fragility fracture. Efforts to raise awareness of osteoporosis among the general public and medical profession are essential because only a minority of women is taken care and treated after a typical osteoporotic fracture.

Pathophysiology is complex and involves a fragmentation of supporting tissues as well as vascular changes with hypervascularization and/or impaired venous return. The only complication of external hemorrhoids is thrombosis, which is responsible for acute anal pain irrespective of bowel movements. Internal hemorrhoids most frequently cause prolapse and/or bleeding which is easily recognizable. Physical examination always confirms the diagnosis and a colonoscopy is required after 40 or 45 in order to rule out colorectal cancer.

METHODS: We conducted a cross-sectional study among patients treated for diabetes and registered in the DMI2 databasis in a French university hospital in January 2010. Clinical assessment and follow-up data were collected using chart review and self-administered questionnaires. Quality of life (MOS SF-12) and compliance with treatment (simplified medication adherence questionnaire) were assessed using validated scales. RESULTS: The prevalence of treated diabetes mellitus was 3.9% (29/748, 95% confidence interval, 2.6% to 5.5%). Among these 29 HIV diabetic patients, 93% had a virologic control of HIV infection while only 22% had well-con...

Their treatment is medical with local treatment (with corticoid and anesthetic), defecation regulation and paracetamol. NSAID can be used after delivery in absence of breath-feeding. Local excision is not possible in most of the cases because of inflammation. Surgery has to be an exception because medical treatment is sufficient in almost all cases. Anal fissure is the most frequent differential diagnosis, encountered in 15% after all deliveries. Symptoms associate anal pain during and after defecation with blood on toilet paper.

Its main complication is renal failure. Despite a better understanding of the mechanisms leading to cyst development and growth, no specific treatment is available. Inhibition of mTOR pathway was a great hope, unfortunately, two clinical trials failed to show a clinical benefit. Numerous new drugs are in clinical trials or in the pipe-line. We could hope, in the 5 years to the emergence of an efficient treatment to slow the pace of renal failure in ADPKD.

Nethertheless, most NHL developing in patients with Sjögren's syndrome are B cell lymphomas involving the marginal zone, localized to extranodal sites. Predictive factors include lymphadenopathy, splenomegaly, neutropenia, cryoglobulinemia and low C4 levels. The treatment of B cell lymphomas depends on its nature and localization. Biotherapies targeting the B lymphocyte, such as rituximab, a chimeric monoclonal anti-CD20 antibody, or more recently targeting BAFF can be proposed.

The number of patients living in France with a functioning transplant is almost as high as the number of patients on dialysis (33,000 versus 37,500 in 2009). The constant progress in immunosuppressive treatments has made graft survival improve. According to the "Agence de biomédecine", the national institution in charge of transplantation regulation and management, overall graft survival is 68% at 10 years but 80% for living donor transplantation. Transplantation indications have been extended with time to more difficult patients: retransplanted patients an...

Progress in peritoneal catheter placement and a good knowledge of the management of catheter complications are essential. A more frequent use of biocompatible solutions should achieve a better preservation of the peritoneal membrane. Such physiological peritoneal fluids seem to decrease morbidity and mortality. Best peritoneal dialysis indications are mainly young patients waiting for a kidney transplantation, old patients without malnutrition and patients with cardiac insufficiency.
