Krympt por-syndrom – ett nyupptäckt syndrom med hög prevalens och mortalitet

Grubb, Anders LU orcid (2019) In Läkartidningen 116.
Abstract

Shrunken Pore Syndrome was defined in 2015 and is characterised by the glomerular filtration of 5-40 kDa molecules being selectively decreased compared to that of molecules <0.2 kDa, e.g. water and creatinine. The diagnose is based upon identification of a decreased eGFRcystatin C/eGFRcreatinine ratio, and ratios -< 0.6 or 0.7 have most often been used to identify the diagnose. The mortality is strongly increased in all investigated populations and increases progressively with a decrease in the eGFRcystatin C/eGFRcreatinine ratio used to identify the syndrome. The prevalence of the syndrome varies with the eGFRcystatin C/eGFRcreatinine ratio used for diagnosis, but when a ratio of 0.6 is used, the prevalence has varied between 2... (More)

Shrunken Pore Syndrome was defined in 2015 and is characterised by the glomerular filtration of 5-40 kDa molecules being selectively decreased compared to that of molecules <0.2 kDa, e.g. water and creatinine. The diagnose is based upon identification of a decreased eGFRcystatin C/eGFRcreatinine ratio, and ratios -< 0.6 or 0.7 have most often been used to identify the diagnose. The mortality is strongly increased in all investigated populations and increases progressively with a decrease in the eGFRcystatin C/eGFRcreatinine ratio used to identify the syndrome. The prevalence of the syndrome varies with the eGFRcystatin C/eGFRcreatinine ratio used for diagnosis, but when a ratio of 0.6 is used, the prevalence has varied between 2 and 8%. The pathophysiology might be the accumulation of atherosclerosis-promoting proteins occurring in patients with the syndrome. The syndrome might explain the superiority of eGFRcystatin C over eGFRcreatinine in identifying high-risk kidney patients.
