Do different generations of PTH assay induce different diagnosis in renal bone disease?

Gendrot A , Georges A , Lasseur C , Bordenave L , Corcuff J-B

Background and aim: Parathyroid hormone (PTH) measurement is critical to evaluate bone status in patients with chronic renal failure as adynamic bone (AB) and bone with a high turnover (HTB) require different therapeutic options. Since the 2nd generation PTH assays recognise a non 1–84 PTH fragment in addition to the intact 1–84 PTH, a new assay defined as 3rd generation has been commercialised. The aim of this study was to evaluate, in dialysed patients, the rate of...

Nutritional outcome in end-stage renal disease diabetic patients: short term follow-up of patients initiating/escaping dialysis

Raffaitin C , Chauveau P , Lasseur C , Barthe N , Gin H , Combe C , Corcuff JB , Rigalleau V

Introduction: Undernutrition is common in haemodialysed diabetic patients. To estimate the nutritional status before and after dialysis, we followed up prospectively initially undialysed uremic diabetic patients.Methods: All 20 patients had initial body composition (Lean Body Mass, LBM, using DEXA) and serum albumin (SA) measurements. Ten patients underwent hemodialysis (HD) after 15 m (mean). They had a similar LBM & SA evaluation 6.5 m after starti...

Improvement of nutritional status in non-dialysed uremic diabetic patients

Raffaitin C , Chauveau P , Lasseur C , Barthe N , Gin H , Combe C , Corcuff JB , Rigalleau V

Introduction: End-Stage Renal Disease is a common cause of undernutrition, with a high risk of morbidity and mortality in dialysis. To improve nutritional status before dialysis, we followed up 35 non-dialysed uremic diabetic patients in a prospective and cooperative study.Methods: We analysed glomerular filtration rate (GFR, using 51Cr-EDTA), glycemic control (HbA1c), and nutritional status: body composition (lean body mass, LBM, by DEXA), serum albumin...
