Abstract
In pediatric kidney failure, native kidneys may pose a risk to successful transplant outcomes. The indications and timing of native nephrectomy represent a controversial management decision. A lack of high-quality, outcomes-based data has prevented development of evidence-based guidelines for intervention. In this article, we review the published literature on medical indications for native nephrectomy and current knowledge gaps. In addition, we provide a surgical perspective regarding timing and approach.

The Inhibition of Serine Proteases by Serpins Is Augmented by Negatively Charged Heparin: A Concise Review of Some Clinically Relevant Interactions. Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:1804. [PMID: 38339082 PMCID: PMC10855260 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25031804] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2023] [Revised: 01/28/2024] [Accepted: 01/29/2024] [Indexed: 02/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Serine proteases are members of a large family of hydrolytic enzymes in which a particular serine residue in the active site performs an essential role as a nucleophile, which is required for their proteolytic cleavage function. The array of functions performed by serine proteases is vast and includes, among others, the following: (i) the ability to fight infections; (ii) the activation of blood coagulation or blood clot lysis systems; (iii) the activation of digestive enzymes; and (iv) reproduction. Serine protease activity is highly regulated by multiple families of protease inhibitors, known collectively as the SERine Protease INhibitor (SERPIN). The serpins use a conformational change mechanism to inhibit proteases in an irreversible way. The unusual conformational change required for serpin function provides an elegant opportunity for allosteric regulation by the binding of cofactors, of which the most well-studied is heparin. The goal of this review is to discuss some of the clinically relevant serine protease-serpin interactions that may be enhanced by heparin or other negatively charged polysaccharides. The paired serine protease-serpin in the framework of heparin that we review includes the following: thrombin-antithrombin III, plasmin-anti-plasmin, C1 esterase/kallikrein-C1 esterase inhibitor, and furin/TMPRSS2 (serine protease Transmembrane Protease 2)-alpha-1-antitrypsin, with the latter in the context of COVID-19 and prostate cancer.

Nephrotic syndrome and acute coronary syndrome in children, teenagers and young adults: Systematic literature review. Arch Cardiovasc Dis 2023; 116:282-290. [PMID: 37088677 DOI: 10.1016/j.acvd.2023.03.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2023] [Revised: 03/16/2023] [Accepted: 03/16/2023] [Indexed: 04/25/2023]
Abstract
Myocardial infarction is rare in children, teenagers and young adults (aged<20 years). The most common aetiologies identified include Kawasaki disease, familial hypercholesterolaemia, collagen vascular disease-induced coronary arteritis, substance abuse (cocaine, glue sniffing), trauma, complications of congenital heart disease surgery, genetic disorders (such as progeria), coronary artery embolism, occult malignancy and several other rare conditions. Nephrotic syndrome is a very rare cause of myocardial infarction, but it is probably underestimated. The purpose of this review was to determine the current state of knowledge on acute coronary syndrome related to nephrotic syndrome. We thus performed a comprehensive structured literature search of the Medline database for articles published between January 1st, 1969 and December 31st, 2021. Myocardial infarction in young adults can be broadly divided into two groups: cases of angiographically normal coronary arteries; and cases of coronary artery disease of varying aetiology. There are several possible mechanisms underlying the association between acute coronary syndrome and nephrotic syndrome: (1) coronary thrombosis related to hypercoagulability and/or platelet hyperactivity; (2) atherosclerosis related to hyperlipidaemia; and (3) drug treatment. All of these mechanisms must be evaluated systematically in the acute phase of disease because they evolve rapidly with the treatment of nephrotic syndrome. In this review, we propose a decision algorithm for the management of acute coronary syndrome in the context of nephrotic syndrome. The final part of the review presents the short- and medium-term therapeutic strategies available. Thromboembolism related to nephrotic syndrome is a rare non-atherosclerotic cause of acute coronary syndrome, and prospective studies are needed to evaluate a systematic approach with personalized therapeutic strategies.
