<h4>Background</h4>Volume overload poses a major risk in hemodialysis patients but simple detection methods are lacking. We propose a novel marker, the Interdialytic Creatinine Rise (IDCR), readily calculated as the change in serum creatinine over time (in mg/dL/h), to assess volume overload and predict mortality risk in hemodialysis patients.<h4>Methods</h4>First, we calculated IDCR changes with volume in a prospective cohort of 35 hospitalized hemodialysis patients awaiting hemodialysis and 33 ...[more]

Project description:Background:Fluid overload and interdialytic weight gain (IDWG) are discrete components of the dynamic fluid balance in haemodialysis patients. We aimed to disentangle their relationship, and the prognostic importance of two clinically distinct, bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS)-derived measures, pre-dialysis and post-dialysis fluid overload (FOpre and FOpost) versus IDWG. Methods:We conducted a retrospective cohort study on 38 614 incident patients with one or more BIS measurement within 90?days of haemodialysis initiation (1 October 2010 through 28 February 2015). We used fractional polynomial regression to determine the association pattern between FOpre, FOpost and IDWG, and multivariate adjusted Cox models with FO and/or IDWG as longitudinal and time-varying predictors to determine all-cause mortality risk. Results:In analyses using 1-month averages, patients in quartiles 3 and 4 (Q3 and Q4) of FO had an incrementally higher adjusted mortality risk compared with reference Q2, and patients in Q1 of IDWG had higher adjusted mortality compared with Q2. The highest adjusted mortality risk was observed for patients in Q4 of FOpre combined with Q1 of IDWG [hazard ratio (HR)?=?2.66 (95% confidence interval 2.21-3.20), compared with FOpre-Q2/IDWG-Q2 (reference)]. Using longitudinal means of FO and IDWG only slightly altered all HRs. IDWG associated positively with FOpre, but negatively with FOpost, suggesting a link with post-dialysis extracellular volume depletion. Conclusions:FOpre and FOpost were consistently positive risk factors for mortality. Low IDWG was associated with short-term mortality, suggesting perhaps an effect of protein-energy wasting. FOpost reflected the volume status without IDWG, which implies that this fluid marker is clinically most intuitive and may be best suited to guide volume management in haemodialysis patients.

Project description:Higher mean platelet volume (MPV) is an indicator of larger, reactive platelets, and has been associated with a higher risk of thrombosis and cardiovascular events in the general population. Hemodialysis patients have a higher risk for cardiovascular death and predisposition to platelet dysfunction (thrombosis and bleeding diathesis), but the relationship between MPV and mortality in this population is unknown.Among a 5-year cohort (1/2007-12/2011) of 149,118 incident hemodialysis patients from a large national dialysis organization, we examined the association between MPV and all-cause mortality. In primary analyses, we granularly analyzed MPV across five categories: 7.2-7.5, >7.5-9.5, >9.5-11.5, >11.5-13.5, and >13.5-15.0fL. In secondary analyses, we examined MPV categorized as low, normal, and high based on thresholds in the general population: 7.2-7.5, >7.5-11.5, and >11.5fL, respectively. Associations between baseline and time-dependent MPV with mortality were estimated using traditional and time-dependent Cox models in order to determine long-term and short-term exposure-mortality associations, respectively, using three adjustment levels: unadjusted, case-mix, and case-mix+laboratory models.In primary analyses, higher baseline and time-dependent MPV levels were associated with incrementally higher death risk in case-mix+laboratory analyses (reference: >9.5-11.5fL). In secondary analyses, high baseline and time-dependent MPV levels were associated with higher mortality, whereas low MPV was associated with lower death risk across all multivariable models (reference: normal MPV).Hemodialysis patients with higher MPV have heightened mortality risk. Further studies are needed to determine the pathophysiologic basis for the higher risk, and if modification of MPV ameliorates mortality in this population.

Project description:Arterial stiffness is evaluated with the measurement of pulse wave velocity (PWV), while overhydration (OH) and nutritional status are evaluated with bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS). In this study, we investigated the effect of a single dialysis session on arterial stiffness, hydration status, and laboratory parameters. The observational, cross-sectional, cohort study included 71?HD patients with mean age 64?±?16?yrs. A Complior device was used to perform PWV measurements. The patients were examined immediately before and 15?min after a mid-week hemodialysis session. Body fluids and nutritional status were studied using a Body Composition Monitor (BCM), Fresenius Medical Care. Clinical and laboratory data were also analyzed. Multivariate regression analysis of PWV before HD showed that an OH increase of 1?L relate to a PWV parameter rise before HD of 0.523?m/s. Multivariate regression analysis of PWV after HD showed that a rise of central SBP after HD of 10?mmHg relate to a PWV increase after HD of 0.707?m/s. Our data indicate that hydration status and blood pressure may be major determinants of PWV in HD patients.

Project description:The geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) and creatinine (Cr) index are indexes often used as nutritional surrogates in patients receiving hemodialysis. However, few studies have directly compared the clinical characteristics of these two indexes. We investigated 3,536 hemodialysis patients enrolled in the Japan DOPPS phases 4 and 5. The primary outcome was all-cause mortality and the main exposures were the GNRI and Cr index. We confirmed and compared the association between these indexes and mortality risk as estimated by a multivariable-adjusted Cox proportional hazards model. During the median 2.2-year follow-up period, 414 patients died of any cause. In the multivariable-adjusted model, lower GNRI and Cr index were both associated with increased risk of all-cause mortality, and these associations were further confirmed by restricted cubic spline curves. The predictability of all-cause mortality, as represented by the c-statistic, was comparable between the two indexes. Furthermore, baseline nutritional surrogates that corresponded with lower GNRI or Cr index values were comparable between the two indexes. Given that calculating the GNRI is simpler than calculating the Cr index, our data suggest that the GNRI may be preferable to the Cr index for predicting clinical outcomes in patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis.

Project description:BackgroundChildren undergoing chronic hemodialysis are at risk of cardiovascular disease and often develop left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). Twenty-four-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) is known to better predict cardiovascular morbidity than casual blood pressure (BP) measurement. Given the BP variability attributed to interdialytic fluid overload, 44-h ABPM should better delineate cardiovascular morbidity in pediatric hemodialysis patients.MethodsIn this cross-sectional study, 17 children (16.7 ± 2.9 years) on chronic hemodialysis underwent 44-h interdialytic ABPM and routine echocardiogram. Left ventricular mass index (LVMI) was calculated by height-based equation; LVH was defined as an LVMI in the ?95th percentile for height-age and gender. Hypertension was defined by the recommendations of the Fourth Report of the National High Blood Pressure Education Program for casual measurements, and by those of the American Heart Association for ABPM.ResultsTwenty-four percentage of patients were hypertensive by casual post-dialytic systolic BP, whereas 59% were hypertensive by ABPM. Eighty-eight percentage of patients had abnormal cardiac geometry: 53% had LVH. Thirty-five percentage (6 of 17) had masked hypertension, including four with abnormal cardiac geometry, of which, three had LVH. LVMI correlated with ABPM, but not with casual measurements. Strongest correlations with an increased LVMI were with 44-h diastolic BP: at night (r = 0.53, P = 0.03) and total load (r = 0.57, P = 0.02). LVH was similarly associated with 44-h nighttime BP: systolic (P = 0.02), diastolic (P = 0.01) and mean arterial (P = 0.01).ConclusionsCasual BP measurement underestimates hypertension in pediatric hemodialysis patients and does not correlate well with indicators of cardiovascular morbidity. In contrast, 44-h interdialytic ABPM better characterizes hypertension, with nighttime parameters most strongly predicting increased LVMI and LVH.

Project description:BACKGROUND/AIMS:Anemia is common in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD). A proportion of patients present with macrocytic anemia, manifested by elevated mean corpuscular volume (MCV), which has been associated with worse outcomes in CKD patients. However, it is unknown whether elevated MCV is associated with higher mortality risk in incident hemodialysis (HD) patients. METHODS:This retrospective observational cohort study examined all-cause, cardiovascular, and infectious mortality associations with both baseline and time-varying MCV in 109,501 incident HD patients using Cox proportional hazards models with 3 levels of hierarchical multivariable adjustment. Odds ratios of high versus low baseline MCV were evaluated using logistic regression. RESULTS:The mean age of patients was 65 ± 15 (standard deviation) years and the cohort was 44% female, 58% diabetic, and 31% African American. Higher MCV was associated with older age, female sex, non-Hispanic White race-ethnicity, alcohol consumption, and having a decreased albumin or protein intake. Patients with higher MCV levels (> 98 fL) had a higher all-cause, cardiovascular, and infectious mortality risk in both baseline and time varying models, and across all levels of adjustment. In the fully adjusted models, compared to a reference of MCV 92-< 94 fL, patients with a baseline MCV > 100+ fL had a 28% higher risk of all-cause mortality (hazard ratio [HR] 1.28, 95% CI 1.22-1.34), 27% higher risk of cardiovascular mortality (HR 1.27, 95% CI 1.18-1.36), and 18% higher risk of infectious mortality (HR 1.18, 95% CI 1.02-1.38). Associations of higher MCV with these adverse outcomes persisted across all examined subgroups of clinical characteristics. CONCLUSIONS:Higher MCV was associated with higher all-cause, cardiovascular, and infectious mortality in HD patients. Further investigation is necessary to understand the underlying nature of the observed association.

Project description:Background and objectivesInterdialytic weight gain in patients on hemodialysis is associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes and increased mortality. The degree of interdialytic weight gain is influenced by sodium intake. We evaluated the effects of tenapanor (AZD1722 and RDX5791), a minimally systemically available inhibitor of the sodium/hydrogen exchanger isoform 3, on interdialytic weight gain in patients with CKD stage 5D treated with hemodialysis.Design, setting, participants, & measurementsThis phase 2, randomized, double-blind study (NCT01764854; conducted January to September of 2013) enrolled adults on maintenance hemodialysis with interdialytic weight gain ≥3.0% of postdialysis weight and ≥2 kg. Patients were randomly assigned (1:1) to receive tenapanor or placebo. The primary end point was change in mean interdialytic weight gain (percentage of baseline postdialysis weight) from baseline (mean across a 2-week run-in period) to week 4. In a subgroup of inpatients, 24-hour stool sodium and stool weight were assessed for 1 week.ResultsSixteen patients received 1 week of inpatient treatment (tenapanor, eight; placebo, eight), and 72 patients received 4 weeks of treatment in an outpatient setting (tenapanor, 37; placebo, 35; completers: tenapanor, 31; placebo, 33). In the outpatient cohort, no significant effect on interdialytic weight gain was detected; least squares mean changes in relative interdialytic weight gain from baseline to week 4 were tenapanor, -0.26% (95% confidence interval, -0.57% to 0.06%) and placebo, -0.23% (95% confidence interval, -0.54% to 0.07%; P=0.46). During week 1 (inpatient cohort only), compared with placebo, tenapanor treatment resulted in higher stool sodium content (mean [±SD]: tenapanor, 36.6 [±21.8] mmol/d; placebo, 2.8 [±2.7] mmol/d; P<0.001) and higher stool weight (tenapanor, 172.5 [±68.1] g/d; placebo, 86.3 [±30.0] g/d; P<0.01). A similar safety profile was observed across treatment groups with the exception of diarrhea, which occurred more frequently with tenapanor treatment.ConclusionsTenapanor treatment increased stool sodium and weight over placebo in patients undergoing hemodialysis. However, over 4 weeks of treatment, there was no difference in interdialytic weight gain between patients treated with tenapanor and those receiving placebo.

Project description:Although hemoglobin (Hb) levels are affected by a change in the body fluid status, the relationship between Hb levels and mortality while taking interdialytic weight gain (IDWG) at blood sampling into account has not yet been examined in hemodialysis patients.Cohort study.Data from the Miyazaki Dialysis cohort study, including 1375 prevalent hemodialysis patients (median age (interquartile range), 69 (60-77) years, 42.3% female).Patients were divided into 5 categories according to baseline Hb levels and two groups based on the median value of IDWG rates at blood sampling at pre-HD on the first dialysis session of the week.All-cause and cardiovascular mortalities during a 3-year follow-up.Hazard ratios were estimated using a Cox model for the relationship between Hb categories and mortality, and adjusted for potential confounders such as age, sex, dialysis duration, erythropoiesis-stimulating agent dosage, Kt/V, comorbid conditions, anti-hypertensive drug use, serum albumin, serum C-reactive protein, serum ferritin, and serum intact parathyroid hormone. Patients with Hb levels of 9-9.9 g/dL were set as our reference category.A total of 246 patients (18%) died of all-cause mortality, including 112 cardiovascular deaths. Lower Hb levels (<9.0g/dL) were associated with all-cause mortality (adjusted HRs 2.043 [95% CI, 1.347-3.009]), while Hb levels were not associated with cardiovascular mortality. When patients were divided into two groups using the median value of IDWG rates (high IDWG, ?5.4% and low IDWG, <5.4%), the correlation between lower Hb levels and all-cause mortality disappeared in high IDWG patients, but was maintained in low IDWG patients (adjusted HRs 3.058 [95% CI,1.575-5.934]). On the other hand, higher Hb levels (?12g/dL) were associated with cardiovascular mortality in high IDWG patients (adjusted HRs 2.724 [95% CI, 1.010-7.349]), but not in low IDWG patients.In hemodialysis patients, target Hb levels may need to be selected in consideration of IDWG at blood sampling.

Project description:Hypertension is common in hemodialysis patients; however, the relationship between interdialytic weight gain (IDWG) and blood pressure (BP) is incompletely characterized. This study seeks to define the relationship between IDWG and BP in prevalent hemodialysis subjects.This study used data from 32,295 dialysis sessions in 442 subjects followed up for 6 months in the Crit-Line Intradialytic Monitoring Benefit (CLIMB) Study.Mixed linear regression was used to analyze the relationship between percentage of IDWG (IDWG [%] = [current predialysis weight - previous postdialysis weight]/dry weight * 100) as the independent variable and systolic BP (SBP) and predialysis - postdialysis SBP (deltaSBP) as dependent variables.In unadjusted analyses, every 1% increase in percentage of IDWG was associated with a 1.00 mm Hg (95% confidence interval [CI], +/-0.24) increase in predialysis SBP (P < 0.0001), 0.65 mm Hg (95% CI, +/-0.24) decrease in postdialysis SBP (P < 0.0001), and 1.66 mm Hg (95% CI, +/-0.25) increase in deltaSBP (P < 0.0001). After controlling for other significant predictors of SBP, every 1% increase in percentage of IDWG was associated with a 1.00 mm Hg (95% CI, +/-0.24) increase in predialysis SBP (P < 0.0001) and a 1.08 mm Hg (95% CI, +/-0.22) increase in deltaSBP with hemodialysis (P < 0.0001). However, in subjects with diabetes as the cause of end-stage renal disease, subjects with lower creatinine levels, and older subjects, the magnitude of the association between percentage of IDWG and predialysis SBP was less pronounced. The magnitude of percentage of IDWG on deltaSBP was less pronounced in younger subjects and subjects with lower dry weights. Results were similar with diastolic BP.Hemodialysis BP measurements are imprecise estimates of BP and true hemodynamic burden in dialysis subjects.In prevalent hemodialysis subjects, increasing percentage of IDWG is associated with increases in predialysis BP and BP changes with hemodialysis; however, the magnitude of the relationship is modest and modified by other clinical factors. Thus, although overall volume status may impact on BP to a greater extent, day-to-day variations in weight gain have a modest role in BP increases in prevalent subjects with end-stage renal disease.

Project description:Modified creatinine (Cr) index, calculated by age, sex, pre-dialysis serum Cr concentration, and Kt/V for urea, is an indicator of skeletal muscle mass in hemodialysis (HD) patients. It remains unknown whether the modified Cr index predicts infection-related mortality in this population. We investigated the association between the modified Cr index and infection-related mortality. A total of 3046 patients registered in the Q-Cohort Study, a multicenter, observational study of HD patients, were analyzed. Associations between sex-specific quartiles (Q1-Q4) of the modified Cr index and the risk for infection-related mortality were analyzed by Cox proportional hazard model. During a median follow-up of 8.8 years, 387 patients died of infection. The estimated risk for infection-related mortality was significantly higher in the lower quartiles (Q1, Q2, and Q3) than in the highest quartile (Q4) as the reference group (hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals [CI]: Q1, 2.89 [1.70-5.06], Q2, 2.76 [1.72-4.62], and Q3, 1.79 [1.12-2.99]). The hazard ratio (95% CI) for a 1?mg/kg/day decrease in the modified Cr index was 1.18 (1.09-1.27, P?<?0.01) for infection-related mortality. In conclusion, a lower modified Cr index is associated with an increased risk for long-term infection-related mortality in the HD population.
