Case Report 229 PREVALENCE AND RISK FACTORS OF NEUROPSYCHIATRIC DISORDERS IN A COHORT OF END STAGE RENAL DISEASE PATIENTS ON MAINTENANCE HEMODIALYSIS: MOUSSALY Elias, SYED Rafeel, NASR Patricia, REHMAN Amina, EL-DOUEIHY Youssef, SAAD Marc, EL-CHARABATY Elie, EL-SAYEGH Suzanne Staten Island University Hospital – Staten Island, NY Some studies suggest that one in three patients on hemodialysis have some level of cognitive impairment. The cumulative burden of depression and dementia is poorly understood in the U.S. dialysis population. The Montreal Cognitive Assessment Questionnaire (MoCA) is a novel cognitive assessment test validated in the hemodialysis population and found to be a sensitive and rapid tool to detect mild cognitive impairment. We aimed to study the prevalence and correlates of cognitive impairment and depression in our dialysis population, excluding any patient on psychoactive medications, history of brain disease or substance abuse. Out of 177 in -center ESRD patients on maintenance hemodialysis, we screened 76 patients for participation in the study, 30 patients did not complete the intervention. A study investigator administered the MoCA and BECK questionnaires during a hemodialysis session to screen for cognitive impairment and depression respectively .To investigate for correlates, demographic and clinical data including common laboratory and dialysisrelated variables were collected and analyzed. In our cohort of 46 patients, mean age was 58.5 years [19; 96], 71.7% were male, 73% had a high school degree or higher and ethnicity was diverse (41 % white, 30 % African American and 28.2 % minorities). Only 5 patients had normal cognitive function (MOCA score above 27), with a median score of 23 suggestive of some form of cognitive impairement. Thirteen percent of the patients had BECK scores suggestive of clinical depression, while 32.6% of the patients had mild mood disturbance. In the multiple linear regression predictive analysis; age, the BECK score, and ferritin levels correlated negatively with the MOCA score (respective p -values: 0.06, 0.011, and 0.007). The fact that ferritin is inversely associated with cognitive function is a novel finding , needs further investigation and can be explained by inflammation, iron overload or intractable anemia. In a patient -centered, multi-disciplinary care model for the dialysis patient, it is imperative to better understand these neuropsychiatric disorders so as to improve quality of life, adherence to medical regimen, and ultimately, survival.
230 REVERSAL OF DIALYSIS DEPENDENT RENAL FAILURE AFTER RENAL ARTERY STENTING: A CASE FOR INTERVENTION 1 2 1 1 1 Azam Mughni , Ravi Dhanisetty , Avrum Gillespie , Jean Lee , Section 2 of Nephrology, Division of Vascular Surgery, Temple University Hospital, Philadelphia, PA, USA Despite 2 recent renal artery stenosis (RAS) trials that showed no benefit of angioplasty and stenting over medical management alone, controversy exists regarding case selection as patients who had acute renal failure or recurrent flash pulmonary edema from RAS were excluded from these trials. We present the case of an 83 year old male with progressive renovascular CKD IIIb (serum creatinine 1.71 mg/dL and 2.74 mg/dL four months and two months prior to presentation respectively) who presented with worsening dyspnea and acute kidney injury (creatinine 4.5mg/dl). He had 3 recent admissions for pulmonary edema and an ultrasound obtained on the last admission revealed an atrophic left kidney (with left renal artery stent placed 12 years before) and >60% occlusion of the right renal artery with preserved kidney size. The patient was edematous, hypoxic and with chest x-ray showing pulmonary edema. Despite a systolic blood pressure under 150 mmHg with 4 anti-hypertensive agents, he did not respond to high dose diuretics and hemodialysis was initiated for volume overload and uremic encephalopathy. By hospital day 15, the patient was medically stable but his oliguric renal failure persisted. Renal angiogram was then performed which showed high grade stenosis at the origin of right renal artery. The artery was then stented with subsequent angiogram showing resolution of the high grade stenosis. The urine output began to improve and dialysis was stopped 5 days later. The patient was then discharged on no BP agents. One month after discharge, creatinine was 1.28mg/dl but he requires 2 BP agents. Our case illustrates the benefit of revascularization with dramatic improvement in renal function. While recent trials suggest medical management for most cases of RAS, renal angioplasty with stenting should be considered in the presence of high grade RAS in the setting of pulmonary edema and acute renal failure necessitating dialysis.
