Dialysis Adequacy and Risk of Dementia in Elderly Hemodialysis Patients.

ABSTRACT: Objective: Dementia is prevalent among elderly patients undergoing hemodialysis. However, the association between dialysis adequacy and the risk of dementia is uncertain. Methods: A total of 10,567 patients aged >65 years undergoing maintenance hemodialysis who participated in a national hemodialysis quality assessment program were analyzed. The patients were classified into quartile groups based on single-pool Kt/V levels. The associations between single-pool Kt/V and the development of dementia, Alzheimer's disease (AD), and vascular dementia (VD) were examined. Results: The mean age of the patients was 72.9 years, and 43.4% were female. The mean baseline single-pool Kt/V level was 1.6 ± 0.3. During a median follow-up of 45.6 (45.6-69.9) months, there were 27.6, 23.9, and 2.8 events/1,000 person-years of overall dementia, AD, and VD, respectively. The incidences of overall dementia, AD, and VD were lowest in the highest single-pool Kt/V quartile group. Compared with the lowest single-pool Kt/V quartile, the risks of incident overall dementia and AD were significantly lower in the highest quartile [sub-distribution hazard ratio (sHR): 0.69, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.58-0.82 for overall dementia; sHR: 0.69, 95% CI: 0.57-0.84 for AD]. Inverse relationships were found between the risks of developing overall dementia and AD, and single-pool Kt/V. However, no significant relationship was observed between single-pool Kt/V levels and VD development. Conclusions: Increased dialysis clearance was associated with a lower risk of developing dementia in elderly hemodialysis patients.

Risk of dementia in peritoneal dialysis patients compared with hemodialysis patients.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Compared with similarly aged controls, patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) have a higher prevalence of cognitive impairment and more rapid cognitive decline, which is not explained by traditional risk factors alone. Since previous small studies suggest an association of cognitive impairment with dialysis modality, we compared incident dementia among patients initiating hemodialysis (HD) vs peritoneal dialysis (PD) in a large national cohort. METHODS:This is a retrospective cohort study of incident dialysis patients in the United States from 2006 to 2008 with no diagnosis of dementia prior to beginning dialysis. We evaluated the effect of initial dialysis modality on incidence of dementia, diagnosed by Medicare claims data, adjusted for baseline demographic and clinical data from the USRDS registry. RESULTS:Our analysis included 121,623 patients, of whom 8,663 initiated dialysis on PD. The mean age of our cohort was 69.2 years. Patients who initiated PD had a lower cumulative incidence of dementia than those who initiated HD (1.0% vs 2.7%, 2.5% vs 5.3%, and 3.9% vs 7.3% at 1, 2, and 3 years, respectively). The risk of dementia for patients who started on PD was lower compared with those who started on HD, with a hazard ratio (HR) = 0.46 [0.41, 0.53], in an unadjusted model and HR 0.74 [0.64, 0.86] in a matched model. CONCLUSIONS:Dialysis modality is associated with incident dementia in a cohort of older ESRD patients. This finding warrants further investigation of the effect of dialysis modality on cognitive function and evaluation for possible mechanisms.

Chronic hemodialysis: Evaluation of dialysis adequacy and mortality.

Project description:ObjectiveDialysis efficacy is one of the important issues in patients undergoing hemodialysis. This study aimed to determine the adequacy of dialysis with mortality and hospital admissions in patients undergoing hemodialysis.MethodsThis retrospective cohort study was conducted on patients who underwent dialysis. Dialysis adequacy was measured based on the Kt/V criterion. Age, sex, disease etiology, duration of dialysis, and access dialysis were evaluated.Results128 patients with a mean age of 61.48 ± 13.36 years were included in the study. 8 patients had a history of kidney transplantation. The mean dialysis time in the patients was 4.30 ± 3.39 years. The mean Kt/V in the patients was 1.40 ± 1.8 years. Of the 128 patients, 53 were hospitalized for cardiac or renal reasons. The number of fatalities was 9 cases out of 128. The cause of death in all the cases was heart problems. There was a statistically significant correlation between the adequacy of dialysis in terms of Kt/V and mortality, but it was not associated with hospitalization.ConclusionInadequate dialysis in terms of Kt/V is likely to increase the rate of mortality among dialysis patients.

Elderly Peritoneal Dialysis Compared with Elderly Hemodialysis Patients and Younger Peritoneal Dialysis Patients: Competing Risk Analysis of a Korean Prospective Cohort Study.

Project description:The outcomes of peritoneal dialysis (PD) in elderly patients have not been thoroughly investigated. We aimed to investigate the clinical outcomes and risk factors associated with PD in elderly patients. We conducted a prospective observational nationwide adult end-stage renal disease (ESRD) cohort study in Korea from August 2008 to March 2013. Among incident patients (n = 830), patient and technical survival rate, quality of life, and Beck's Depression Inventory (BDI) scores of elderly PD patients (?65 years, n = 95) were compared with those of PD patients aged ?49 years (n = 205) and 50~64 years (n = 192); and elderly hemodialysis (HD) patients (n = 315). The patient death and technical failure were analyzed by cumulative incidence function. Competing risk regressions were used to assess the risk factors for survival. The patient survival rate of elderly PD patients was inferior to that of younger PD patients (P<0.001). However, the technical survival rate was similar (P = 0.097). Compared with elderly HD patients, the patient survival rate did not differ according to dialysis modality (P = 0.987). Elderly PD patients showed significant improvement in the BDI scores, as compared with the PD patients aged ?49 years (P = 0.003). Low albumin, diabetes and low residual renal function were significant risk factors for the PD patient survival; and peritonitis was a significant risk factor for technical survival. Furthermore, low albumin and hospitalization were significant risk factors of patient survival among the elderly. The overall outcomes were similar between elderly PD and HD patients. PD showed the benefit in BDI and quality of life in the elderly. Additionally, the technical survival rate of elderly PD patients was similar to that of younger PD patients. Taken together, PD may be a comparable modality for elderly ESRD patients.

The association of dialysis adequacy, body mass index, and mortality among hemodialysis patients.

Project description:BackgroundAlthough hemodialysis (HD) adequacy, single-pool Kt/Vurea (spKt/V), is inversely correlated with body size, each is known to affect patient survival in the same direction. Therefore, we sought to examine the relationship between HD adequacy and mortality according to body mass index (BMI) in HD patients and explore a combination effect of BMI and HD adequacy on mortality risk.MethodsWe retrospectively reviewed patient data from the Korean Society of Nephrology registry, a nationwide database of medical records of HD patients, from January 2001 to June 2017. We included patients ?18?years old who were receiving maintenance HD. Patients were categorized into three groups according to baseline BMI (<?20 (low), 20 to <?23 (normal), and???23 (high) kg/m2). Baseline spKt/V was divided into six categories.ResultsAmong 18,242 patients on HD, the median follow-up duration was 5.2 (IQR, 1.9-8.9) years. Cox regression analysis showed that, compared to the reference (spKt/V 1.2-1.4), lower and higher baseline spKt/V were associated with greater and lower risks for all-cause mortality, respectively. However, among patients with high BMI (n?=?5588), the association between higher spKt/V and lower all-cause mortality was attenuated in all adjusted models (Pinteraction?<?0.001). Compared to patients with normal BMI and spKt/V within the target range (1.2-1.4), those with low BMI had a higher risk for all-cause mortality at all spKt/V levels. However, the gap in mortality risk became narrower for higher values of spKt/V. Compared to patients with normal BMI and spKt/V in the target range, those with high BMI and spKt/V?<?1.2 were not at increased risk for mortality despite low dialysis adequacy.ConclusionsThe association between spKt/V and mortality in HD patients may be modified by BMI.

Risk of Stroke in Elderly Dialysis Patients.

Project description:Despite the current knowledge about the risk of stroke and its related factors in general population, this issue in elderly patients receiving dialysis remains unresolved. Firstly, to compare the risk of stroke between hemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD), data on 13,065 incident dialysis patients (aged ≥ 65 years; 10,675 in HD and 2,390 in PD) were retrieved from the Korean Health Insurance dataset. Secondly, to identify the risk factors of stroke amongst various clinical and laboratory parameters in HD, 980 elderly patients were retrospectively analyzed using an independent prospective cohort from 31 dialysis centers. For a mean duration of 1.8 years (maximum of 5 years), the risk of all cardiovascular diseases (ischemic heart disease and stroke) did not differ between HD and PD. However, when analyses were conducted separately by subtype, the risk of stroke, not ischemic heart disease, was significantly higher in HD patients than in PD patients. When the risk factors of stroke were probed after HD for a mean duration of 2.6 years (maximum of 7 years), the absolute dependence on social support, a previous history of cardiovascular disease, high levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and the use of a high number of anti-hypertensive drugs were identified as being significant. Based on the discrepancy of stroke risk between modalities and the HD-tailored risk factors of stroke, the monitoring and management of these factors may be a key strategy to reduce the risk of stroke in elderly patients receiving dialysis.

Comparison of dementia risk between end stage renal disease patients with hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis--a population based study.

Project description:A higher risk of dementia was reported in patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (HD) compared to those undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD). Selection bias and competing risk of death were not considered in previous studies. The aim of this study was to investigate dementia risk in patients undergoing HD and PD by using the Taiwan Longitudinal Health Insurance Database. We enrolled 52,332 incident HD patients and 3292 incident PD patients who were older than 40 years between January 1, 1998 and December 31, 2007. During the study period, 3775 patients were diagnosed with dementia in the HD group (177.5 per 10,000 person-years incidence rate) and 181 patients in the PD group (145.9 per 10,000 person-years incidence rate). The results revealed that the higher hazard ratio of HD compared with PD for dementia disappeared after controlling for demographic characteristics, propensity score, and competing death risk (subdistribution hazard ratio was 1.086; 95% confidence interval, 0.940-1.255). In conclusion, HD did not increase the risk of dementia in dialysis-dependent patients compared to PD.

Ensuring hemodialysis adequacy by dialysis dose monitoring with UV spectroscopy analysis of spent dialyzate.

Project description:IntroductionPatients' session-to-session variation has been shown to influence outcomes, making critical the monitoring of dialysis dose in each session. The aim of this study was to detect the intra-patient variability of blood single pool Kt/V as measured from pre-post dialysis blood urea and from the online tool Adimea®, which measures the ultraviolet absorbance of spent dialyzate.MethodsThis open, one-armed, prospective non-interventional study, evaluates patients on bicarbonate hemodialysis or/and on hemodiafiltration. Dialysis was performed with B. Braun Dialog+ machines equipped with Adimea®. In the course of the prospective observation, online monitoring with Adimea® in each session was established without the target warning function being activated. A sample size of 97 patients was estimated.ResultsA total of 120 patients were enrolled in six centers in China (mean age 51.5 ± 12.2 years, 86.7% males, 24.2% diabetics). All had an AV-fistula. The proportion of patients with blood Kt/V < 1.20 at baseline was 48.3%. During follow-up with Adimea®, the subgroup with Kt/V > 1.20 at baseline remains at the same adequacy level for more than 90% of the patients. Those with a Kt/V < 1.20 at baseline, showed a significant increase of Kt/V to 60% of the patients reaching the adequacy level >1.20. The coefficient of variation for spKt/V as evaluated by Adimea® was 9.6 ± 3.4%, not significantly different from the 9.6 ± 8.6% as blood Kt/V taken at the same time.ConclusionOnline monitoring of dialysis dose by Adimea® improves and maintains dialysis adequacy. Implementing online monitoring by Adimea into daily practice moves the quality of dialysis patient care a significant step forward.

Serum irisin levels correlated to peritoneal dialysis adequacy in nondiabetic peritoneal dialysis patients.

Project description:BackgroundIrisin is a recently discovered myokine thought to be involved in multiple metabolism abnormalities in most dialysis patients. However, the myokine has not been thoroughly studied in peritoneal dialysis. This study aimed to evaluate serum irisin levels and establish their relation to dialysis adequacy, insulin resistance, and bone metabolism status in patients on peritoneal dialysis.MethodsA total of 59 nondiabetic prevalent peritoneal dialysis patients and 52 age- and sex-matched healthy controls were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. Serum irisin concentration was assessed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The correlations between serum irisin and dialysis adequacy, clinical, and metabolic variables were investigated.ResultsSerum irisin levels were lower in nondiabetic peritoneal dialysis patients (17.02ng/ml) compared with healthy controls (22.17ng/ml, P<0.001). Multivariate regression analysis revealed that fasting glucose levels were correlated inversely with serum irisin levels in peritoneal dialysis patients. Serum irisin levels were associated with neither insulin resistance nor bone metabolism in our patients. Serum irisin levels were positively associated with peritoneal Kt/Vurea (β = 4.933, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.536-9.331, P = 0.029) and peritoneal CCr (β = 0.259, 95% CI = 0.053-0.465, P = 0.015) among peritoneal dialysis patients.ConclusionsThe study demonstrated that non-diabetic peritoneal dialysis patients have lower serum irisin levels, and the levels were correlated with peritoneal dialysis adequacy, indicating adequate dialysis may improve irisin secretion. Additional studies are needed to provide a confirmation.

Effect of residual kidney function and dialysis adequacy on chronic pruritus in dialysis patients.

Project description:BackgroundChronic kidney disease-associated pruritus (CKD-aP) is common in dialysis patients, and is associated with lower quality of life and increased risk of death. We investigated the association between residual estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), dialysis adequacy or serum phosphate level and CKD-aP in incident dialysis patients.MethodsA total of 1256 incident hemodialysis (HD) and 670 peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients (>18 years) from the Netherlands Cooperative Study on the Adequacy of Dialysis (NECOSAD) study were included (1997-2007) and followed until death, transplantation or a maximum of 10 years. CKD-aP was measured using a single item of the Kidney Disease Quality of Life Instrument-36. The associations were studied by logistic and linear regression analyses, adjusted for potential baseline confounders.ResultsAt baseline mean (standard deviation) age was 60 (16) years, 62% were men and median (interquartile range) residual eGFR was 3.4 (1.7; 5.3) mL/min/1.73 m2. The prevalence of CKD-aP (∼70%) was similar in HD and PD. It was observed that 12 months after starting dialysis (after multivariable adjustment) each 1 mL/min/1.73 m2 higher residual eGFR, one unit higher total weekly Kt/V, or 1 mmol/L lower serum phosphate level was associated with lower burden of CKD-aP in HD and PD patients of -0.05 (95% CI -0.09; -0.02) and -0.09 (95% CI -0.13; -0.05), -0.15 (95% CI -0.26; -0.05) and -0.35 (95% CI -0.54; -0.16), and of -0.34 (95%CI: -0.51; -0.17) and -0.45 (95%CI: -0.71; -0.19), respectively. We found no association between dialysis Kt/V and CKD-aP.ConclusionsHigher residual eGFR and lower serum phosphate level, but not the dialysis dose, were related with lower burden of CKD-aP in dialysis patients.
