    Abstract: Introduction. Multiple myeloma (MM) in its early onset is complicated by myeloma nephropathy in 20-30% of patients, 10% of whom require haemodialysis. Early studies have shown that renal dysfunction has no adverse effect on melphalan pharmacokinetics. Auto-HSCT in some patients allows to restore renal function and to stop hemodialysis. Aim of the study. To assess the safety and efficacy of auto- HSCT in MM patients with dialysis-dependent renal failure. Materials and methods. During a period from May 2010 to December 2016 thirteen (3 males, 10 females) MM patients with dialysis-dependent renal failure aged 48 to 65 years (median 58) underwent auto-HSCT. The diagnosis was made according to IMWG criteria. In the onset of the disease, the median creatinine level was 1091 μmol /L, and GFR (CKD-EPI) ranged 3 to 10 ml / min / 1.73 m2 (median 3). Induction therapy included bortezomib-containing regimens in all patients, bendamustine was used in 5 (38.5%) patients, immunomodulatory drugs were used in 2 (15%) patients. HSC mobilization was performed according to the scheme: G-CSF 10 μg/kg. The median number of harvested CD34+ cells was 3.46x106/kg. Subsequently, against the background of programmed hemodialysis and in the setting of high-dosed melphalan (100-200 mg/m2), 12 patients underwent a single and one patient underwent a tandem auto-HSCT. On Day 100 after auto-HSCT, an antitumor response and renal response were assessed. Survival curves were constructed using the Kaplan-Meier method. Statistical analysis was done using Statistica 10. Results. Before auto-HSCT CR was documented in 8 (61%) patients, VGPR was documented in 4 (31%) patients, PR was documented in 1 (8%) patient, with no renal response registered, GFR: 4-10 ml/min/1.73 m2 (median 5). The period of agranulocytosis after auto-HSCT was accompanied by infectious complications, cardiac and neurological dysfunctions (Table 1). The resulting complications were stopped; the mortality associated with transplantation (TRM) was 0%. At +100 days after auto-HSCT, the PR was confirmed in 9 (70%) patients and VGPR was confirmed in 4 (30%) patients. GFR: 5 - 17 ml/min/1.73 m2 (median 7). The minimal renal response was registered in 2 patients (15%), hemodialysis was stopped. After a median follow-up of 52 months 5-year progression-free survival (PFS) was 71%, and OS was 92%. Conclusion. Auto-HSCT in MM patients with dialysis-dependent renal failure is a feasible and effective treatment method, nevertheless, characterized by a high rate of early post-transplantation complications. Dialysis-dependent renal failure is not a contraindication for the use of high dosed melphalan followed by auto-HSCT. The probability of hemodialysis discontinuation after auto-HSCT was 15%. Survival rates are comparable to those in patients without renal impairment. Disclosures No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

    Abstract: The presented paper is a third revision of the clinical recommendations for the treatment of morbid obesity in adults. Morbid obesity is a condition with body mass index (BMI) 40 kg / m2 or a BMI 35 kg / m2 in the presence of serious complications associated with obesity. The recommendations provide data on the prevalence of obesity, its etiology and pathogenesis, as well as on associated complications. The necessary methods for laboratory and instrumental diagnosis of obesity are described in detail. In this revision of the recommendations, the staging of prescribing conservative and surgical methods for the treatment of obesity are determined. For the first time, a group of patients with obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus is selected, in whom metabolic surgery allows a long-term improvement in the control of glycemia or remission of diabetes mellitus.
