چکیده

OBJECTIVE Renal dysfunction is associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The alteration in renal function as a marker of mortality in pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) has not been studied extensively. METHODS Four hundred four consecutive patients diagnosed with non-high-risk PTE (without cardiogenic shock or blood pressure <90 mm Hg) were prospectively enrolled in the study between 2005-2010. Kidney function, based on glomerular filtration rate (GFR), calculated by the simplified modification in diet in renal disease (MDRD) equation (sMDRD); troponin I; B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP); and echocardiographic markers of right ventricular (RV) function were determined in survivors versus non-survivors after a 2-year follow-up. RESULTS GFR was significantly lower in non-survivors than in survivors: 51.85±19.08 mL/min/1.73 m2 and 71.65±23.21 mL/min/1.73 m2, respectively (p=0.000). The highest 2-year mortality rate (20%) was recorded in patients with moderate renal dysfunction associated with RV dysfunction. Using multivariate analysis, we found that GFR is an independent predictor of 2-year mortality (OR 0.973, 95% CI: 0.959-0.987, p=0.000), besides troponin I, dyslipidemia, acceleration time of pulmonary ejection, pericardial effusion, and BNP. CONCLUSION The association of renal dysfunction with right ventricular dysfunction in patients with non-fatal pulmonary thromboembolism resulted in high mortality. Renal dysfunction, assessed by glomerular filtration rate, may be used in the risk stratification of patients with non-high-risk pulmonary thromboembolism, besides troponin I, BNP, and right ventricle echocardiographic dysfunction markers.

گزارش یک مورد از هیپرتانسیون ترومبوآمبولیک پولمونر در جریان سندروم آنتی فسفولیپید اولیه

While pulmonary thromboembolism is common, thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension is very rare. The present case is a 35 year old woman with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension, who presented with severe dyspnea and leg edema, following an earlier thrombotic event of 10 years earlier, after her her second childbearing. She also had a history of the first childbearing complicated with c...

Evaluation of Prognostic Factors of Mortality in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Background and Objective: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a chronic obstructive and irreversible disease which has a high mortality and morbidity rate. Systemic inflammation and the thrombotic process can influence the prognosis of these patients. The objectives of this study were to evaluate prognostic effects of CBC indices (WBC, PMN, MPV, RDW), forced expiratory volume-one se...

Residual Clot in Patients with Deep Vein Thrombosis and Pulmonary Embolism: Prognostic Implications

In order to assess whether there is discordance in the timing of thrombus resolution between deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), we analyzed current evidence from recent major literature, and evaluated its prognostic implications. After an episode of proximal DVT, residual vein thrombosis (RVT), as shown with ultrasonography, is still detectable in approximately 50% of patie...
