Pre-dialysis Hyponatremia and Change in Serum Sodium Concentration During a Dialysis Session Are Significant Predictors of Mortality in Patients Undergoing Hemodialysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Previous studies have shown that hyponatremia is associated with greater mortality in hemodialysis (HD) patients. However, there have been few reports regarding the importance of the change in serum sodium (SNa) concentration (?SNa) during dialysis sessions. To investigate the relationships of pre-dialysis hyponatremia and ?SNa during a dialysis session with mortality, we analyzed data from a national registry of Japanese patients with end-stage kidney disease.

Methods

We identified 178,114 patients in the database who were undergoing HD 3 times weekly. The study outcome was 2-year all-cause mortality, and the baseline SNa concentrations were categorized into quintiles. We evaluated the relationships of SNa concentration and ?SNa with mortality using Cox proportional hazards models.

Results

During a 2-year follow-up period, 25,928 patients died. Each 1-mEq/l reduction in pre-HD SNa concentration was associated with a cumulatively greater risk of all-cause mortality (hazard ratio [HR], 1.05; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.05-1.06). In contrast, a larger ?SNa was associated with higher all-cause mortality (HR for a 1-mEq/l increase in ?SNa, 1.02; 95% CI 1.01-1.02). The combination of low pre-HD SNa concentration and large ?SNa was also associated with higher mortality (HR 1.09; 95% CI 1.05-1.13). Participants with the lowest SNa concentration (?136 mEq/L) and the highest ?SNa (>4 mEq/L) showed higher mortality than those with an intermediate pre-HD SNa concentration (137-140 mEq/L) and the lowest ?SNa (?2 mEq/L).

Conclusions

Lower pre-HD SNa concentration and higher ?SNa are associated with a greater risk of mortality in patients undergoing HD.

Project description:BackgroundAlthough previous research has demonstrated that referral to pre-dialysis clinics is associated with favourable objective outcomes, the benefit of a pre-dialysis clinic from the perspective of patient-perceived subjective outcomes, such as quality of life (QOL), is less well defined.MethodsA retrospective incident cohort study was conducted to determine if pre-dialysis clinic attendance was a predictor of better QOL scores measured within the first six months of hemodialysis (HD) initiation. Inclusion criteria were HD initiation from January 1 1998 to January 1 2000, diagnosis of chronic renal failure, and completion of the QOL questionnaire within six months of HD initiation. Patients receiving HD for less than four weeks were excluded. An incident cohort of 120 dialysis patients was identified, including 74 patients who attended at least one pre-dialysis clinic and 46 patients who did not. QOL was measured using the SF 36-Item Health Survey. Independent variables included age, sex, diabetes, pre-dialysis clinic attendance and length of attendance, history of ischemic heart disease, stroke, peripheral vascular disease, heart failure, malignancy, and chronic lung disease, residual creatinine clearance at dialysis initiation, and kt/v, albumin and hemoglobin at the time of QOL assessment. Bivariate and multivariate linear regression analyses were used to identify predictors of QOL scores.ResultsMultivariate analysis suggested that pre-dialysis clinic attendance was an independent predictor of higher QOL scores in four of eight health domains (physical function, p < 0.01; emotional role limitation, p = 0.01; social function, p = 0.01; and general health, p = 0.03), even after statistical adjustment for age, sex, residual renal function, kt/v, albumin, and co-morbid disease. Pre-dialysis clinic attendance was also an independent predictor of the physical component summary score (p = 0.03).ConclusionsWe conclude that pre-dialysis clinic attendance favourably influences patient-perceived quality of life within six months of dialysis initiation.
