Early changes in body weight and blood pressure are associated with mortality in incident dialysis patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

While much research is devoted to identifying novel biomarkers, addressing the prognostic value of routinely measured clinical parameters is of great interest. We studied early blood pressure (BP) and body weight (BW) trajectories in incident haemodialysis patients and their association with all-cause mortality.

Methods

In a cohort of 357 incident patients, we obtained all records of BP and BW during the first 90 days on dialysis (over 12 800 observations) and analysed trajectories using penalized B-splines and mixed linear regression models. Baseline comorbidities and all-cause mortality (median follow-up: 2.2 years) were obtained from the French Renal Epidemiology and Information Network (REIN) registry, and the association with mortality was assessed by Cox models adjusting for baseline comorbidities.

Results

During the initial 90 days on dialysis, there were non-linear decreases in BP and BW, with milder slopes after 15 days [systolic BP (SBP)] or 30 days [diastolic BP (DBP) and BW]. SBP or DBP levels at dialysis initiation and changes in BW occurring in the first month or during the following 2 months were significantly associated with survival. In multivariate models adjusting for baseline comorbidities and prescriptions, higher SBP value and BW slopes were independently associated with a lower risk of mortality. Hazard ratios of mortality and 95% confidence intervals were 0.92 (0.85-0.99) for a 10 mmHg higher SBP and 0.76 (0.66-0.88) for a 1 kg/month higher BW change on Days 30-90.

Conclusions

BW loss in the first weeks on dialysis is a strong and independent predictor of mortality. Low BP is also associated with mortality and is probably the consequence of underlying cardiovascular diseases. These early markers appear to be valuable prognostic factors.

Project description:BackgroundMortality is extremely high immediately after the transition to dialysis therapy, but the association of blood pressure (BP) before dialysis therapy initiation with mortality after dialysis therapy initiation remains unknown.Study designObservational study.Setting & participants17,729 US veterans transitioning to dialysis therapy in October 2007 to September 2011, with a median follow-up of 2.0 years.PredictorSystolic (SBP) and diastolic BP (DBP) averaged over the last 1-year predialysis transition period as 6 (<120 to ≥160mmHg in 10-mmHg increments) and 5 (<60 to ≥90mmHg in 10-mmHg increments) categories, respectively, and as continuous measures.Outcomes & measurementsPostdialysis all-cause mortality, assessed over different follow-up periods (ie, <3, 3-<6, 6-<12, and ≥12 months after dialysis therapy initiation) using Cox regressions adjusted for demographics, comorbid conditions, medications, cardiovascular medication adherence, body mass index, estimated glomerular filtration rate, and type of vascular access.ResultsMean predialysis SBP and DBP were 141.2±16.1 (SD) and 73.7±10.6mmHg, respectively. There was a reverse J-shaped association of SBP with all-cause mortality, with significantly higher mortality seen with SBP<140mmHg. Mortality risks associated with lower SBP were greatest in the first 3 months after dialysis therapy initiation, with multivariable-adjusted HRs of 2.40 (95% CI, 1.96-2.93), 1.99 (95% CI, 1.66-2.40), 1.35 (95% CI, 1.13-1.62), 0.98 (95% CI, 0.78-1.22), and 0.76 (95% CI, 0.57-1.00) for SBP <120, 120 to <130, 130 to <140, 150 to <160, and ≥160 (vs 140-<150) mmHg, respectively. No consistent association was observed between predialysis DBP and postdialysis mortality.LimitationsResults cannot be inferred to show causality and may not be generalizable to women or the general US population.ConclusionsLower predialysis SBP is associated with higher all-cause mortality in the immediate postdialysis period. Predialysis DBP showed no consistent association with postdialysis mortality. Further studies are needed to clarify ideal predialysis SBP levels among incident dialysis patients as a potential means to improve the excessively high early dialysis mortality.

Project description:Purpose:Fluid management using a body composition monitor (BCM) based on bioimpedance spectroscopy has been found to be beneficial for maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients. Our purpose was to provide a management procedure for the adjustment of post-dialysis overhydration (OHpost) and to evaluate whether this approach could improve blood pressure. Methods:Post-dialysis fluid status was assessed weekly using the BCM. The reference value of OHpost and the flow procedure for post-dialysis target weight (PDTW) adjustment were established via measurements of OHpost in 60 normotensive MHD patients. In the interventional study, we adjusted the PDTW of hypertensive patients to the optimal OHpost range, with a 0.2-0.5?kg change in PDTW per week. Results:This observational study included 130 anuric MHD patients, of whom 60 were in the pre-dialysis systolic blood pressure (sBPpre) <?140?mmHg group. On multivariate logistic regression analysis, we found that only OHpost was significantly associated with sBPpre ??140?mmHg (odds ratio?=?2.293, p?=?0.000). Patients in the OHpost <?-1.8?L group were mainly male and younger, and had higher post-dialysis diastolic blood pressure, ultrafiltration volume, levels of nutrition markers (serum albumin and creatinine), body mass index, and lean tissue index (LTI). On multiple stepwise regression analysis, only the change in LTI was found to be an independent predictor of OHpost [R2 0.208, ??=?-0.196, 95% CI (-0.296, -0.095), p?<?0.001]. The reference value of OHpost was found to deviate by -?2.5-0.5?L from that of normotensive patients. At the end of the study, the systolic blood pressure of 38 patients was less than 140?mmHg after PDTW adjustment. The changes in OHpost from the initial to last adjustment were significant (t?=?5.431, p?<? 0.001), with a substantial decrease in the sBPpre (t?=?11.208, p?<? 0.001). Conclusions:Assessment of OHpost and LTI using a BCM with a patient-specific optimal PDTW adjustment flow can lead to significantly better control of hypertension in anuric MHD patients.

Project description:Intradialytic increases in blood pressure (BP) can complicate the management of hypertension in hemodialysis (HD) patients. However, the long-term consequences are uncertain. Thus, we sought to determine whether BP increases during HD were associated with greater 2-year mortality in incident HD patients.Secondary analysis of a prospective dialysis cohort.Incident HD patients in the Dialysis Morbidity and Mortality Wave 2 Study.Changes in systolic BP (SBP) during HD (ie, postdialysis SBP -- predialysis SBP), averaged from 3 HD sessions before enrollment.Time to 2-year all-cause mortality.Cox regression was used to model hazard ratios for mortality associated with changes in SBP during HD while adjusting for demographics, comorbid conditions, interdialytic weight gain, laboratory variables, and antihypertensive agents.Of 1,748 patients, 12.2% showed greater than 10-mm Hg increases in SBP during HD. In adjusted analyses, every 10-mm Hg increase in SBP during HD was associated independently with a 6% increased hazard of death (hazard ratio, 1.06; 95% confidence interval, 1.01 to 1.11). When also adjusted for diastolic BP and postdialysis SBP, the adjusted hazard of death associated with increasing SBP during HD remained significant (hazard ratio, 1.12; 95% confidence interval, 1.05 to 1.21 per 10-mm Hg increase in SBP during HD). However, in analyses adjusted for predialysis SBP, there was a significant interaction between change in SBP and predialysis SBP. In analyses stratified by predialysis SBP, trends for increased mortality associated with increasing SBP during dialysis were present in patients with predialysis SBP less than 160 mm Hg. However, this relationship was significant only in patients with predialysis SBP less than 120 mm Hg.Secondary analysis with a limited number of baseline BP measurements and limited information about dialysis prescription.Increasing SBP by more than 10 mm Hg during HD occurs in approximately 10% of incident patients, and although increasing SBP during HD was associated with decreased 2-year survival, these findings were limited to patients with predialysis SBP less than 120 mm Hg.
