The aim of this study was to assess fatty liver and liver fibrosis in SLE patients using Fibroscan as well as determine associated factors such as immunosuppressive medications. Methods Sixty SLE patients and 30 healthy controls were included. Patients with HBV, HCV or cirrhosis, malignancy, cardiac disease, or patients on dialysis were excluded. All participants underwent Fibroscan measurements. Results The prevalence of fatty liver disease was similar between SLE patients and healthy controls (21.7 vs 26.7%, p = .597). Liver fibrosis was also similar between the two groups (26.7 vs 10.0%, p = .069). Since the majority of SLE patients were female, we performed a subgroup analysis in female patients (n = 51) and controls (n = 25). Fatty liver disease was similar between female SLE patients and controls (23.5 vs 24.0%, p = .964). However, liver fibrosis in female patients with SLE was increased compared to female controls (29.4 vs 4.0%, p = .011) and was associated with age (Exp (B) 95% CI: 1.083 (1.006-1.166), p = .034) and low-dose cumulative glucocorticoid use (Exp (B) 95% CI: 14.116 (1.213-164.210), p = .034). Conclusion The prevalence of fatty liver was similar between SLE patients and controls, while liver fibrosis was increased in the female patient group as compared to controls. Furthermore, liver fibrosis was associated with age and low dose cumulative glucocorticoid use. Interestingly, fatty liver did not precede liver fibrosis in the majority of cases, contrary to what is observed in the general population. Larger studies are needed to confirm our findings and determine whether immunosuppressive use has any impact on the development of liver fibrosis in SLE patients.Publication Metadata only Periton diyalizi hastalarında Covid-19 pandemi̇si’nin hijyen davranışları ve peritonit görülme sıklığı üzerine etkisi(2022-12-08) TUĞCU, MURAT; ARIKAN, İZZET HAKKI; AŞICIOĞLU, EBRU; BARUTÇU ATAŞ, DİLEK; VELİOĞLU, ARZU; Şimşek E., Barutçu Ataş D., Tuğcu M., Velioğlu A., Arıkan İ.

H., ALİBAZ ÖNER F., DİRESKENELİ R. H., TUĞLULAR Z. S., AŞICIOĞLU E.AIMS: Sleep disorders, depression and anxiety are commonly reported in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Public health emergencies such as pandemics can also increase these psychosocial distresses. Early diagnosis and treatment of these disorders will substantially affect patients' quality of life and medication adherence. The aim of this study was to evaluate both medication non-adherence and the incidence of perceived stress, anxiety, depression, sleep quality and insomnia during the COVID pandemic in patients with SLE. METHOD: This was a cross-sectional, descriptive survey study. A total of 211 participants, including 160 SLE patients aged 18 years and older and 51 healthy volunteers who were similar in age and gender, were included. A questionnaire of socio-demographics and COVID-19 status, Medication Compliance Reporting Scale (MARS-5), Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADA and HAD-D), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) scales was assessed. The participants were interviewed face to face, and the answers were recorded by the researcher. RESULTS: The mean age of the patients was 41.85 ± 12.97 years and 142 (88.7%) of the patients were female. There was no significant difference between the patient and control groups in terms of the history of COVID-19 infection, symptoms and hospitalization. Fifty-nine (36.9%) patients had high perceived stress, 16 (10.0%) had anxiety, 45 (28.1%) had depression, 77 (48.1%) had poor sleep quality and 62 (38.8%) patients had insomnia. PSS (23.64 ± 7.86 versus 19.73 ± 4.80, P = .001), HAD-D (5.60 ± 3.40 versus 4.08 ± 2.21, P = .003), PSQI (6.31 ± 3.62 versus 4.43 ± 2.20, P = .001) and ISI (6.81 ± 4.98 versus 4.53 ± 2.83, P = .002) scores were significantly higher in the patient group than controls. Patients with PSS score ≥ 25 were categorized as patients with a high PSS score. Presence of anxiety, depression, poor sleep quality and insomnia were significantly higher in patients with a high PSS score. Medication non-adherence was detected in 79 (49.4%) of the patients. Interestingly, there was no difference in MARS-5 scores between high and low PSS groups. Comparison of baseline characteristics and clinical data of the patients according to PSS score is shown in Table 1. The high PSS score was positively correlated with HAD-A, HAD-D, PSQI and ISI scores. Regression analysis revealed that high perceived stress is an independent predictor of depression [Exp(β) 95% CI 1.488 (1.245-1.779), P < .001], and anxiety [Exp(β) 95% CI 1.235 (1.026-1.487), P = .026]. CONCLUSION: SLE patients demonstrated increased levels of perceived stress, depression, poor sleep quality and insomnia compared to the healthy population during the COVID-19 pandemic. SLE patients with high perceived stress had more depression, anxiety, poor sleep quality and insomnia than those without. It needs to be determined whether these findings will have an impact on patient outcomes during long-term follow-up.

B. , Guller N., YILDIZ A., ERSOY A., Turkmen A., et al.Introduction: Data to guide the evaluation of living-related donor candidates for kidney transplant recipients with Alport syndrome (AS) spectrum are limited. We aimed to examine a cohort of living-related donors to recipients with AS and compare their outcomes with a control group to improve understanding of the clinical course and outcomes of living donation in this context. Methods: Living donors (LDs) of AS recipients and propensity score-matched control LDs without any family history of AS (control group) were followed for major cardiac events, death, post-donation estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), and proteinuria. Results: There were 31 LDs (48.4% male), in whom relationship to AS recipient included mother (45.2%), father (32.3%), sibling (16.1%), grandparent (3.2%), and uncle (3.2%). Long-term outcomes over 10.0 (IQR, 3.0-15.0) years were evaluated in 25 and 25 LDs from study and control groups, respectively. During follow-up, 5 LDs (20.0%) in study group developed major cardiac event (acute coronary ischemia [n = 4] and severe congestive heart failure [n = 1]) after 5.5 (IQR, 4.5-10.3) years, whereas only 2 (8.0%) LDs in control group developed major cardiac events (p = 0.221). New-onset hypertension was higher in study group (56.0%) compared to the control group (16.0%) (p = 0.003). Three donors in study and 2 donors in control group who developed new-onset hypertension died during follow-up (p = 0.297). Major cardiac event rate was significantly higher in donors who developed hypertension after donation (0 vs. 28.0%, p < 0.001). There were no differences between study groups regarding last eGFR and proteinuria levels (p = 0.558 and p = 0.120, respectively). Discussion/Conclusion: Although the risk of kidney disease can be minimized by careful donor evaluation, our findings suggest that hypertension risk after the donation is higher than expected in related donors of recipients with AS.
