It is a significant risk factor for mortality and cardiovascular morbidity in patients with chronic kidney disease. The objective of this study was to investigate non-obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in CKD patients hospitalised in the nephrology and haemodialysis department of the POINT G University Hospital. Methods: This is a prospective study carried out from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 and concerned chronic renal failure patients with non-obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Results: During our study, we recorded 89 cases of non-obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, a prevalence of 42.8%. The sex ratio was 1.2 in favour of men. The average age of the patients was 45 ± 14.4 years with extremes of 16 and 78 years. The risk factors frequently found were anaemia (100%) and hypertension (92.1%). The clinical picture was dominated by the left heart failure syndrome (66.3% of cases). The different types of echocardiographic hypertrophy found were concentric (72%), eccentric (18%) and septal hypertrophy (10%). Conclusion: Non-obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is the early cardiovascular abnormality encountered in CKD. It is associated with cardiovascular risk factors such as hypertension, anaemia and phosphocalcic disorders.展开更多

It is used in the treatment of acute or chronic renal failure. The aim was to study the clinical and paraclinical aspects and the outcome of patients starting dialysis treatment for renal failure in an emergency setting. Method: This was a prospective study from 1 January to 31 July 2020, with a sample of 62 patients receiving haemodialysis in an emergency setting in the nephrology department of the Point G University Hospital. Results: The study showed that the sex ratio was 1.38 in favour of men and that the mean age of patients was 36.82 years. The group of patients with a low socio-economic standard of living dominated, accounting for 71% of cases. Hypertension and anaemia were the predominant risk factors in 77.4% and 87.3% respectively. Hyperphosphaemia, hypocalcaemia and secondary hyperparathyroidism accounted for 94.7%, 98.2% and 97.7% respectively. Left ventricular hypertrophy was 29.27% on electrocardiogram and 22% on cardiac ultrasound. Isolated cardiomegaly was found in 30.76% of patients. The main indications for dialysis were uraemic syndrome (69.2%), pericardial friction (27.4), anuria for 48 hours (20.1%), hyperkalaemia (17.7%) and acute lung oedema (16.1%). The mean duration of haemodialysis was less than one month in one out of two cases. There was no significant association between age and time on dialysis (p = 0.178). The death rate was 20.97%. Case fatality was higher in patients whose duration of dialysis was less than one month than in the others (p = 0.0006). Conclusion: CKD is a public health problem in Mali. It affects young people, especially males. Low economic income is an obstacle to the management of this disease.展开更多
