Objective: To describe mortality of COVID-19 in relationship with social aspects, economical and sociodemographic indicators of health of the first countries affected at the beginning of the pandemic. Methods: A longitudinal descriptive study was carried-out, 63 countries affected at different magnitude were selected and followed from the first day they declare the first patient until May 31st 2020 with data gathered from WHO, PAHO, KNOEMA, DATOS MACRO, INDEX MUNDI and from the Johns Hopkins University. Results: At 60-days the mean day of conformation of the first case correlated with mortality, at 75-days of the pandemic obesity correlated with mortality. Conclusions: At the beginning of the pandemic, societies with higher life expectancies, where obese people and people with significant co-morbidities predominate, had higher mortality rates compared to less developed countries whe...

Objetivos: Determinar los cambios en la función renal en niños monorrenos luego de por lo menos 5 años de seguimiento. Metodología: Se utilizaron los registros de los pacientes monorrenos atendidos en el Hospital Edgardo Rebagliati Martins entre los años 2005-2016. Se consignaron los datos de presión arterial, proteinuria en 24 horas, tasa de filtración glomerular en orina de 24 horas e índice de masa corporal de 50 pacientes que cumplieron los criterios del estudio. Resultados: 26 (52%) pacientes presentaron proteinuria significativa y persistente; ninguno en rangos nefróticos, la mediana fue de 6,3 mg/m2/h; RIQ de 4,99-8,24. La mediana de la TFG de los 50 pacientes del estudio fue de 109,74 ml/min/1,73m2; RIQ de 86,1-138,75. Hubo 22 pacientes en estadío I, 2 en estadío II y 5 en estadío III de acuerdo a la clasificación de enfermedad renal crónica. No se encontró hiperte...

Objetivos: To determine the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and 24-hour proteinuria among single kidney patients with a minimum 5-year follow-up period. Material y métodos: The medical charts of single kidney attended at Hospital Nacional Edgardo Rebagliati Martins (HNERM) from 2005-2016 were review. Information on 50 patients in whom data on GFR a 24-hour proteinuria was analyzed. Resultados: Median GFR was 109.74 ml/min/1.73m2 (RIQ 86.1-138.75); 22 patients were in the chronic renal disease stage classification I, 2 in chronic renal disease stage classification II and 5 in stage III; 26 patients (52%) had persistent and significant proteinuria, none of these had proteinuria in the nephrotic range. Conclusiones: Single kidney patients present long-term complications such as hyperfiltration and reduction of the GFR.
