Daily home monitoring of potassium, creatinine, and estimated plasma volume in heart failure post‐discharge by Patrick Rossignol, Renaud Fay, Nicolas Girerd, Faiez Zannad

“…The 5‐day‐a‐week biological home monitoring revealed an ePV >5.5 mL/g Hb, suggestive of undiagnosed residual congestion at discharge in 3 out the 15 patients. It was possible to document a number of episodes of hyperkalaemia (>5: mean ± standard deviation: 2.2 ± 2.2 or 5.5: 1.7 ± 1.6 mmol/L), hypokalaemia (<4: 1.9 ± 2.4 or 3.5: 0.5 ± 1.2 mmol/L), worsening renal function (drop in estimated glomerular filtration rate > 20%: 1.3 ± 1.8 or 30%: 0.7 ± 1.2) and recongestion (ePV rise above 10%: 1.4 ± 1.5, 15%: 2.3 ± 2.4, 5.5 mL/g Hb: 1.8 ± 2.6) episodes indicative of clinically relevant and potentially actionable cardiorenal and electrolytic patterns. …”

Serum calprotectin and renal function decline in ANCA-associated vasculitides: a post hoc analysis of MAINRITSAN trial by Xavier Romand, Benjamin Terrier, Athan Baillet, Philippe Gaudin, Loic Guillevin, Christian Pagnoux, Minh Vu Chuong, Marie Hélène Paclet

“…An increase of calprotectin level was associated with a higher risk of subsequent renal function decline even after adjustment (OR 6.50 (95% CI 1.7 to 24.9) p=0.006). A significantly higher risk of relapse was observed in proteinase 3- AAV patients with an increase of serum calprotectin levels (OR 5.6 (95% CI 1.0 to 31.2), p=0.03).Conclusion An increase in serum calprotectin by month 6 compared with inclusion during remission-maintenance therapy in AAV was associated with a higher risk of renal function decline in the following 12 months.Trial registration number NCT00748644.…”
