Abstract

Abstract Background and Aims to study the functional state of the kidneys in patients with chronic ischemia of the renal and peripheral arteries. Methods We examined 120 patients with chronic lower limb ischemia (CLLI) on the background of coronary heart disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus. All examined patients were hospitalized in the department of Interventional Cardiology of the Republican Specialized Scientific and Practical Medical Center for Therapy and Medical Rehabilitation. Inclusion criteria for the study was the presence of intermittent claudication in the patient of II A-II B degree of CLLI, while the walking distance without pain in these patients was 50-1000 meters. Assessment of the functional state of the kidneys was carried out on the basis of determining the level of serum creatinine (Cr), glomerular filtration rate (GFR), calculated according to the EPI GFR formula, which takes into account race, gender, age, and serum creatinine level. To calculate GFR using the CKD-EPI formula, can be used special applications for mobile devices (QxMDCalculator) (based on the criteria of the clinical guidelines for the diagnosis, classification and treatment of CKD KDIGO - 2013). Results Analysis of the functional state of the kidneys depending on the severity of CKD and the level of GFR in accordance with the KDIGO classification (2013) showed that all 100% of patients with CLLI belonged to CKD categories: CKD C2 - 62 (51.7%), CKD with 3a-b - 51 (42.5%) and CKD with 4 - 7 (5.83%). In other words, there was not a single patient with CLLI with normal GFR values. We have revealed a significant increase in the concentration of blood creatinine by 2.1 times, blood urea by 77.9%, and a decrease in GFR by 64.3% (p<0.001). The mean value of the concentration of total protein in the blood serum was 58.4±3.72 mmol/l. The concentration of urea in the blood serum was 12.1±2.47 mmol/l in the CLLI group versus 6.8±0.33 mmol /l in the control group. The parameters of the functional state of the kidneys depending on the severity of CLLI showed that in the group of patients with stage IIB was an increase in serum creatinine clearance by 47.2%, amounting to 179.2 ± 15.5 μmol / l versus the data of IIA 121, 2±13.3 µmol/l (p<0.01). There was also a decrease in the level of GFR in patients with stage IIB by 29.1% (p<0.01) in relation to the data of stage IIA. Conclusion In all patients with CLLI, there was deterioration in the functional state of the kidneys, which was manifested by an increase in the concentration of blood creatinine, a decrease in GFR and the severity of albuminuria.
