Cancer patterns and association with mortality and renal outcomes in non-dialysis dependent chronic kidney disease: a matched cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cancer in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an added burden to their overall morbidity and mortality. Cancer can be a cause or an effect of CKD. In CKD patients, a better understanding of cancer distribution and associations can aid in the proper planning of renal replacement therapy (RRT) and in the choice of chemotherapeutic agents, many of which are precluded in more advanced CKD. This study aims to investigate the distribution and the association of cancer with mortality, renal progression and RRT assignment in a non-dialysis dependent CKD cohort, few studies have investigated this in the past.

Methods

The study was carried out on 2952 patients registered in the Salford Kidney Study (SKS) between October 2002 and December 2016. A comparative analysis was performed between 339 patients with a history of cancer (previous and current) and 2613 patients without cancer at recruitment. A propensity score matched cohort of 337 patients was derived from each group and used for analysis. Cox-regression models and Kaplan-Meier estimates were used to compare the association of cancer with mortality and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) outcomes. Linear regression analysis was applied to generate the annual rate of decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate (delta eGFR).

Results

Of our cohort, 13.3% had a history of cancer at recruitment and the annual rate of de novo cancers in the non-cancer patients was 1.6%. Urogenital cancers including kidney and bladder, and prostate and testicle in males, ovary and uterus in females, were the most prevalent cancers (46%), as expected from the anatomical or physiological roles of these organs and relationship to nephrology. Over a median follow-up of 48?months, 1084 (36.7%) of patients died. All-cause mortality was higher in the previous and current cancer group (49.6% vs 35%, p?ConclusionsCancer status proved to be an added burden and an independent risk factor for all-cause mortality but not for renal progression. CKD patients with a previous or current history of cancer should be assessed on a case by case basis in planning for renal replacement therapy options, and the presence of cancer should not be a limitation for RRT provision including transplantation.

Project description:BackgroundManagement of chronic kidney disease (CKD) requires the management of risk factors, such as hypertension and albuminuria, that affect CKD progression. Identification of additional modifiable risk factors is necessary to develop new treatment strategies for CKD. We sought to quantify the association of metabolic acidosis with CKD progression and mortality in a large U.S. community-based cohort.MethodsIn this longitudinal, retrospective cohort study we identified non-dialysis-dependent patients with stage 3‒5 CKD from Optum's de-identified integrated electronic health records. We selected cohorts of patients with confirmed metabolic acidosis or normal serum bicarbonate levels based on 2 consecutive serum bicarbonate values: 12 to < 22 mEq/L or 22-29 mEq/L, respectively, 28‒365 days apart. The primary composite outcome was ≥ 40 % decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), renal replacement therapy (chronic dialysis or kidney transplant), or all-cause mortality (DD40). Secondary outcomes included each component of the composite outcome. Cox proportional hazards models were used for the DD40 outcome and secondary outcomes, while logistic regression models were used for the DD40 outcome at 2 years.ResultsA total of 51,558 patients qualified for the study. The unadjusted 2-year incidence of adverse renal and fatal outcomes was significantly worse among patients in the metabolic acidosis group vs. those who had normal serum bicarbonate levels: 48 % vs. 17 % for DD40, 10 % vs. 4 % for ≥ 40 % decline in eGFR, 20 % vs. 6 % for renal replacement therapy, and 31 % vs. 10 % for all-cause mortality (all P < 0.001). Over a ≤ 10-year period, for each 1-mEq/L increase in serum bicarbonate, the adjusted hazard ratio for DD40 was 0.926 (95 % confidence interval [CI], 0.922-0.930; P < 0.001); over a ≤ 2-year period, the adjusted odds ratio for DD40 was 0.873 (95 % CI, 0.866-0.879; P < 0.001).ConclusionsIn this large community cohort of patients with stage 3‒5 CKD, the presence of metabolic acidosis was a significant, independent risk factor for the composite adverse outcome of CKD progression, renal replacement therapy, and all-cause mortality (DD40).

Project description:BACKGROUND:Urological malignancy (UM) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an added burden to their overall morbidity and mortality. UM is itself a common cause of CKD. Understanding the associations of UM with outcomes in advanced CKD can help in optimisation of the management of these patients. This study investigates the distribution and association of urological malignancy with outcomes (renal progression and mortality) in patients with advanced non-dialysis dependent CKD. METHODS:The study was conducted in 2637 of 3115 patients recruited in the Salford Kidney Study between the years 2002 and 2016. A comparative analysis was performed between 160 patients with UM (at baseline and incident) and 2477 patients with no malignancy. Cox-regression models and Kaplan-Meir estimates were used to explore the association between the presence of UM with mortality and renal outcome. Linear regression analysis was used to calculate the rate of progression of CKD in the groups. A 1:3 propensity score matched cohort of 640 patients was generated and utilised in the above analyses. RESULTS:4.4% had a history of UM at baseline with the annual incident rate being 0.37%. The site of malignancy was the kidney in 40% with comparable numbers for prostatic malignancy (39%). 70% (111/160) of UM patients had a medical cause as their primary diagnosis for CKD. Over a median follow up of 4?years, 34% (905) patients died. In the matched sample, the proportion of deaths was similar between the groups (UM 44% versus no malignancy 48%, p?=?0.36). 30% reached end-stage renal disease (ESRD) with no difference between the groups. In the Cox-regression model, UM did not prove to be a risk factor associated with either all-cause mortality (HR:1.03; CI: 0.79-1.35; p?=?0.81) or reaching ESRD (HR:1.12; CI: 0.80-1.58; p?=?0.49). The rate of decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was similar between the groups (-?1.05 vs -?1.25?mL/min/1.73m2/year, p?=?0.31). CONCLUSIONS:There was no correlation observed between UM and all-cause mortality or ESRD. Medical causes of CKD have a significant influence on the outcomes in patients with UM, whereas the UM did not. Hence, a coordinated approach with early liaison between the urology and nephrology teams is needed in the management of UM patients with CKD.

Project description:Rationale & objectiveBioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) provides a noninvasive assessment of body composition. BIA measures of nutritional (phase angle) and hydration (vector length) status are associated with survival among individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD), including those receiving maintenance dialysis. However, little is known regarding changes in these parameters with CKD following the high-risk transition to maintenance dialysis.Study designObservational study.Settings & participants427 adults enrolled in the Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort (CRIC) Study, with BIA measurements performed within 1 year before and after initiation of maintenance dialysis.ExposuresWe calculated the changes in vector length and phase angle for patients with CKD transitioning to maintenance dialysis.OutcomesWe examined the association of changes in vector length and phase angle during the transition to maintenance dialysis with risk for all-cause mortality or nonfatal myocardial infarction, stroke, or heart failure, adjusting for demographics, comorbid conditions, and nutritional parameters.ResultsMean age was 58 ± 12 years and mean estimated glomerular filtration rate using the CKD Epidemiology Collaboration equation before dialysis initiation was 17.0 ± 8.7 mL/min/1.73 m2. After covariate adjustment, mean changes in vector length and phase angle were 18 (95% CI, 7 to 30) Ω/m and -0.6 (95% CI, -1.3 to 0.1 ), respectively. Changes in both BIA parameters were not associated with risk for heart failure, stroke, myocardial infarction, or all-cause mortality: HR, 1.02 (95% CI, 0.91-1.14) per 1-SD increment in change for vector length and HR, 1.11 (95% CI, 0.88-1.41) per 1-SD increment in change for phase angle.LimitationsObservational study, relatively small sample size.ConclusionsIn a multicenter cohort of patients with CKD who progressed to kidney failure, the transition to maintenance dialysis was associated with changes in body composition reflecting poorer cellular integrity and improved volume control. However, these longitudinal changes were not associated with adverse clinical events after dialysis initiation.
