Abstract

Early detection of graft injury after kidney transplantation is key to maintaining long-term good graft function. Graft injury could be due to a multitude of factors including ischaemia reperfusion injury, cell or antibody-mediated rejection, progressive interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy, infections and toxicity from the immunosuppressive drugs themselves. The current gold standard for assessing renal graft dysfunction is renal biopsy. However, biopsy is usually late when triggered by a change in serum creatinine and of limited utility in diagnosis of early injury when histological changes are equivocal. Therefore, there is a need for timely, objective and non-invasive diagnostic techniques with good early predictive value to determine graft injury and provide precision in titrating immunosuppression. We review potential novel plasma and urine biomarkers that offer sensitive new strategies for early detection and provide major insights into mechanisms of graft injury. This is a rapidly expanding field, but it is likely that a combination of biomarkers will be required to provide adequate sensitivity and specificity for detecting graft injury.

Verbände und Cremes gegen Dekubitus: „Wir wissen nicht, was sie bringen!“

Die Datenlage zur Wirksamkeit von Verbänden oder topischen Mitteln zur Prävention von Druckgeschwüren sei schlecht, so die Verfasser einer aktuellen Cochrane-Studie. Letztlich bleibe es unsicher, ob solche Maßnahmen den Betroffenen nutzen oder schaden.

Schützt das tägliche Glas Milch vor Darmkrebs?

Die Milch machts – sie bietet Frauen nach Daten einer großen Ernährungsanalyse den besten Darmkrebsschutz aller Lebensmittel, was am hohen Kalziumgehalt liegen dürfte. Am anderen Ende des Spektrums steht der Alkoholkonsum: Das Glas Wein am Abend ist eher ungünstig.

Vorsicht mit Glukokortikoiden bei Glomerulopathie

Auch niedrig dosierte Glukokortikoide zur Behandlung einer primären Glomerulopathie lassen offenbar die Infektionsgefahr steigen. In einer US-Studie hing das Risiko vor allem mit der kombinierten Anwendung von Immunsuppressiva zusammen.

KI-gestütztes Mammografiescreening überzeugt im Praxistest

Mit dem Einsatz künstlicher Intelligenz lässt sich die Detektionsrate im Mammografiescreening offenbar deutlich steigern. Mehr unnötige Zusatzuntersuchungen sind laut der Studie aus Deutschland nicht zu befürchten.
