Prior studies have found that outpatients are frequently unaware of their chronic kidney disease (CKD). Little is known about CKD awareness in hospitalized patients. We conducted a retrospective study of general medicine inpatients with CKD, ascertained through International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision codes for non-dialysis-dependent CKD (585.0-585.9) in their first 20 admission diagnoses (n = 590). Patient awareness of their CKD, defined as correct patient self-report of "kidney ...[more]

Project description:BackgroundCOVID-19 causes significant mortality during the recent pandemic. Data regarding the effectiveness of Paxlovid on COVID-19 patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD, eGFR <90 ml/min) are limited.MethodsA retrospective cohort study was performed on the clinical data of the hospitalized adult patients with confirmed COVID-19 infection collected at Renji Hospital from April 7, 2022 to June 21, 2022. The association of Paxlovid treatment with early (within 5 days post diagnosis) or late (5 days or later post diagnosis) initiation time with clinical outcomes was assessed by Cox proportional hazards regression model with time-dependent covariates.Result1279 of 2387 enrollees were included in the study. Patients with early initiation of Paxlovid had a lower all-cause death rate compared to those with late initiation or without Paxlovid treatment (P = 0.046). For the CKD patients with Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) > 7, the early initiation of Paxlovid was associated with a lower all-cause death rate compared to the later initiation or the lack of Paxlovid treatment (P = 0.041). Cox regression analyses revealed that eGFR (HR 4.21 [95%, CI 1.62-10.99]), Paxlovid treatment (0.32 [0.13-0.77]), CCI (4.32 [1.64-11.40]), ICU admission (2.65 [1.09-6.49]), hsCRP (3.88 [1.46-7.80]), chronic liver disease (4.02 [1.09-14.85]) were the independent risk factors for all-cause death for CKD patients after adjusting for demographics and biochemical indexes.ConclusionsAll-cause death, invasive ventilation, and ICU admission were all significantly lowered by an early initiation of Paxlovid treatment in COVID-19 patients with severe CKD.

Project description:BackgroundAcute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) have become worldwide public health problems, but little information is known about the epidemiology of acute kidney disease (AKD)-a state in between AKI and CKD. We aimed to explore the incidence and outcomes of hospitalized patients with AKD after AKI, and investigate the prognostic value of AKD in predicting 30-day and one-year adverse outcomes.MethodsA total of 2,556 hospitalized AKI patients were identified from three tertiary hospitals in China in 2015 and followed up for one year.AKD and AKD stage were defined according to the consensus report of the Acute Disease Quality Initiative 16 workgroup. Multivariable regression analyses adjusted for confounding variables were used to examine the association of AKD with adverse outcomes.ResultsAKD occurred in 45.4% (1161/2556) of all AKI patients, 14.5% (141/971) of AKI stage 1 patients, 44.6% (308/691) of AKI stage 2 patients and 79.6% (712/894) of AKI stage 3 patients. AKD stage 1 conferred a greater risk of Major Adverse Kidney Events within 30 days (MAKE30) (odds ratio [OR], 2.36; 95% confidence interval 95% CI [1.66-3.36]) than AKD stage 0 but the association only maintained in AKI stage 3 when patients were stratified by AKI stage. However, compared with AKD stage 0, AKD stage 2-3 was associated with higher risks of both MAKE30 and one-year chronic dialysis and mortality independent of the effects of AKI stage with OR being 31.35 (95% CI [23.42-41.98]) and 2.68 (95% CI [2.07-3.48]) respectively. The association between AKD stage and adverse outcomes in 30 days and one year was not significantly changed in critically ill and non-critically ill AKI patients. The results indicated that AKD is common among hospitalized AKI patients. AKD stage 2-3 provides additional information in predicting 30-day and one-year adverse outcomes over AKI stage. Enhanced follow-up of renal function of these patients may be warranted.

Project description:Dietary salt restriction is essential for managing fluid retention in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). In this retrospective cohort study, we investigated weight loss from the perspective of fluid status in CKD patients during a 7-day hospitalization period while consuming a low-salt diet (5 g/day). Among 311 patients, the median weight loss (interquartile range, maximum) was 0.7 (0.0-1.4, 4.7) kg on Day 4 and 1.0 (0.3-1.7, 5.9) kg on Day 7. Patients were classified into quartiles based on pre-hospital urinary salt excretion (quartile [Q] 1, 1.2-5.7; Q2, 5.8-8.4; Q3, 8.5-11.3; Q4, 11.4-29.2 g/day). Weight loss was significantly greater in Q3 and Q4 than in Q1. The body mass index (BMI) and urinary salt excretion in the first 24 hours after admission were independently associated with rapid weight loss on Day 4 by multivariate logistic regression analysis. In conclusion, CKD patients with a high salt intake or high BMI exhibit rapid weight loss within a few days of consuming a low-salt diet. Dietary salt restriction is effective for reducing proteinuria in these patients, but long-term observation is needed to confirm the sustained effects.

Project description:Background and objectivesPatients are informed of the risk of kidney biopsy-related complications using data from nonhospitalized patients, which may underestimate the risk for hospitalized patients. We evaluated the rate and risk factors of kidney biopsy-related complications in hospitalized patients with acute kidney disease (AKD) to better estimate the risk in this population.Design, setting, participants, & measurementsWe used data from the Yale biopsy cohort to evaluate rates of kidney biopsy-related complications including adjudicated procedure-related bleeding requiring blood transfusions or angiographic interventions, medium- or large-sized hematomas, reimaging after biopsy including abdominal ultrasonography or computed tomography, and death in hospitalized patients with AKD (including AKI). We evaluated univariable and multivariable association of risk factors with transfusions. We compared rates of complications between hospitalized and nonhospitalized patients.ResultsBetween 2015 and 2017, 159 hospitalized patients underwent a kidney biopsy for AKD evaluation, of which 80 (51%) had stage 1 AKI, 42 (27%) had stage 2 (or higher) AKI, and 27 (17%) had AKD (without AKI). Of these, 12 (8%; 95% confidence interval [95% CI], 5% to 15%) required a transfusion, three (2%; 95% CI, 1% to 5%) required an intervention, 11 (7%; 95% CI, 4% to 12%) had hematoma, and 31 (20%; 95% CI, 14% to 26%) required reimaging after biopsy. Of the four (3%; 95% CI, 1% to 6%) deaths during hospitalization, none were related to the biopsy. Female sex, lower platelet count, and higher BUN were associated with postbiopsy transfusions on univariable and multivariable analyses. Trainee as proceduralist and larger needle gauge were associated with transfusions in univariable, but not multivariable, analysis. Nonhospitalized patients had lower rates of transfusion than hospitalized patients, although the latter also had lower prebiopsy hemoglobin and greater surveillance after biopsy.ConclusionsHospitalized patients experience higher risk of postbiopsy complications than previously reported and several factors, such as lower platelet count, female sex, and higher BUN, are associated with this risk.

Project description:BackgroundChronic kidney disease (CKD) is a risk factor for adverse drug events. The clinical significance of discordance between renal prescribing references is unknown.AimWe determined the prevalence of potentially inappropriate prescribing (PIP) in CKD, measured agreement between two prescribing references, and assessed potential for harm consequent to PIP.DesignSingle-centre observational study.MethodsA random sample of hospitalized patients with CKD were grouped according to baseline CKD stage (3, 4, or 5). Prescriptions requiring caution in CKD were referenced against the Renal Drug Handbook (RDH) and British National Formulary (BNF) to identify PIP (non-compliance with recommendations). Inter-reference agreement was measured using percentage agreement and Kappa coefficient. Potential for harm consequent to PIP was assessed by physicians and pharmacists using a validated scale. One-year mortality was compared between patients with or without PIP during admission.ResultsAmong 119 patients (median age 73 years, 50% male), 136 cases of PIP were identified in 78 (65.5%) patients. PIP prevalence, per patient, was 64.7% using the BNF and 28.6% using the RDH (fair agreement, Kappa 0.33, P < 0.001). The majority (63.2%) of PIP cases detected exclusively by the BNF carried minimal or no potential for harm. PIP was not significantly associated with one-year mortality (34.7% vs. 21.1%, P = 0.14).ConclusionsPIP was common in hospitalized patients with CKD. Substantial discordance between renal prescribing references was apparent. The development of universally-adopted, evidence-based, prescribing guidelines for CKD might optimize medications safety in this vulnerable group.

Project description:IntroductionDiabetic foot ulcerations or infections (DFUs/DFIs) are common complications of patients with diabetes. This study aimed to explore the impact of non-dialysis and dialysis CKD on hospitalized patients with DFUs/DFIs.MethodsA retrospective cohort study was conducted using the National Inpatient Sample database for the years 2017 and 2018. Patients hospitalized for DFUs/DFIs were included in the study. The primary outcome was lower limb amputations. The secondary outcomes were inpatient mortality, sepsis, length of stay (LOS), total hospitalization charges (THC) and disposition.ResultsA total of 121,815 hospitalizations were included (26.1% non-dialysis CKD; 8.4% dialysis CKD). There was no significant difference in amputation rates between those on non-dialysis CKD (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]: 0.96; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.87-1.06) and dialysis CKD (aOR: 1.04, [95% CI: 0.91-1.12]) when compared to non-CKD group. Dialysis CKD group had increased odds of undergoing major amputation (aOR: 1.74, [95% CI: 1.32-2.29]), in-hospital mortality (aOR: 3.77 [95% CI: 1.94-7.31]), sepsis (aOR: 1.83 [95% CI: 1.27-2.62]), longer LOS (adjusted mean difference [aMD]: 1.46 [95 CI: 1.12-1.80) and higher THC (adjusted mean difference [aMD]: $20,148 [95% CI: $15,968-$24,327]). Non-dialysis CKD group had increased odds of sepsis (aOR: 1.36 [95% CI: 1.02-1.82]), less likely to be discharged home (aOR: 0.87 [95% CI: 0.80-0.95]), longer LOS (aMD: 0.91 [95% CI 0.69-1.13]) and higher THC (aMD: $20,148 [95% CI: $15,968-$24,327]).ConclusionPatients with CKD on dialysis had higher odds of undergoing major amputation. CKD increased the odds of in-hospital morbidity and resource utilization, with the most significant is for those on dialysis.

Project description:BackgroundAcute-on-chronic kidney disease (ACKD) increases the risk of progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD). This study aimed to evaluate the ability of a novel criteria of reference change value of the serum creatinine optimized criteria for acute kidney injury in CKD (cROCK) to detect ACKD patients.MethodsThis was a retrospective observational study with a 3-year follow-up. All included patients with CKD stage 3 were evaluated using cROCK, Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO), and their combined criteria. The renal composite endpoints, major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs), and all-cause mortality were recorded as clinical outcomes.ResultsA total of 812 patients was enrolled. The cROCK criteria detected more ACKD events than did the KDIGO (68.0% vs. 59.5%, p < 0.001). Compared to KDIGO (-) & cROCK (-) group, ACKD patients diagnosed by cROCK had significantly higher hazard ratio [HR] for renal composite endpoints (HR, 3.591; p < 0.001), MACEs (HR, 1.748; p < 0.001), and all-cause mortality (HR, 2.985; p < 0.001). The patients in KDIGO (+) & cROCK (+) group had the lowest survival probability when considering renal composite endpoints, MACEs, and all-cause mortality (all p < 0.001). Furthermore, cROCK resulted in the largest area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) for predicting renal composite endpoints, and the combined criteria led to the largest AUC for predicting MACEs and allcause mortality.ConclusionCompared to the KDIGO, the cROCK detected more ACKD events. Combining both cROCK and KDIGO criteria might improve the predictive ability for long-term outcomes in ACKD patients.

Project description:ObjectiveThe epidemiology and outcomes of acute kidney disease (AKD) after acute kidney injury (AKI) in hospitalized children are poorly described. The aim of this study is to investigate the prevalence, predictive factors, and clinical outcomes of AKD in hospitalized children with AKI.MethodsChildren (1 month-18 years) with AKI during hospitalization in the Second Xiangya Hospital from January 2015 to December 2020 were identified. AKD was defined based on the consensus report of the Acute Disease Quality Initiative 16 workgroup. The endpoints include adverse outcomes in 30 and 90 days. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were used to estimate the odds ratio of 30- and 90-day adverse outcomes associated with AKD and identify the risk factors of AKD.ResultsAKD was developed in 42.3% (419/990) of the study patients, with 186 in AKD stage 1, 107 in AKD stage 2, and 126 in AKD stage 3. Pediatric patients with AKD stages 2-3 had significantly higher rates of developing 30- and 90-day adverse outcomes than those with AKD stage 0 and 1. The adjusted odds ratio of AKD stage 2-3 was 12.18 (95% confidence interval (CI), 7.38 - 20.09) for 30-day adverse outcomes and decreased to 2.49 (95% CI, 1.26 - 4.91) for 90-day adverse outcomes. AKI stages 2 and 3, as well as glomerulonephritis, were the only predictive factors for AKD stage 2-3.ConclusionAKD is frequent among hospitalized pediatric AKI patients. AKD stage 2-3 represents a high-risk subpopulation among pediatric AKI survivors and is independently associated with 30- and 90-day adverse outcomes. Awareness of the potential risks associated with AKD stage 2-3 and its risk factors may help improve outcomes through careful monitoring and timely intervention.

Project description:Osteopontin (OPN), encoded by SPP1, is a phosphorylated glycoprotein predominantly synthesized in kidney tissue. Increased OPN mRNA and protein expression correlates with proteinuria, reduced creatinine clearance, and kidney fibrosis in animal models of kidney disease. But its genetic underpinnings are incompletely understood. We therefore conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of OPN in a European chronic kidney disease (CKD) population. Using data from participants of the German Chronic Kidney Disease (GCKD) study (N = 4,897), a GWAS (minor allele frequency [MAF]≥1%) and aggregated variant testing (AVT, MAF<1%) of ELISA-quantified serum OPN, adjusted for age, sex, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), and urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) was conducted. In the project, GCKD participants had a mean age of 60 years (SD 12), median eGFR of 46 mL/min/1.73m2 (p25: 37, p75: 57) and median UACR of 50 mg/g (p25: 9, p75: 383). GWAS revealed 3 loci (p<5.0E-08), two of which replicated in the population-based Young Finns Study (YFS) cohort (p<1.67E-03): rs10011284, upstream of SPP1 encoding the OPN protein and related to OPN production, and rs4253311, mapping into KLKB1 encoding prekallikrein (PK), which is processed to kallikrein (KAL) implicated through the kinin-kallikrein system (KKS) in blood pressure control, inflammation, blood coagulation, cancer, and cardiovascular disease. The SPP1 gene was also identified by AVT (p = 2.5E-8), comprising 7 splice-site and missense variants. Among others, downstream analyses revealed colocalization of the OPN association signal at SPP1 with expression in pancreas tissue, and at KLKB1 with various plasma proteins in trans, and with phenotypes (bone disorder, deep venous thrombosis) in human tissue. In summary, this GWAS of OPN levels revealed two replicated associations. The KLKB1 locus connects the function of OPN with PK, suggestive of possible further post-translation processing of OPN. Further studies are needed to elucidate the complex role of OPN within human (patho)physiology.
