The Indian Chronic Kidney Disease (ICKD) study: baseline characteristics.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an important cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. There is a lack of information on epidemiology and progression of CKD in low-middle income countries. The Indian Chronic Kidney Disease (ICKD) study aims to identify factors that associate with CKD progression, and development of kidney failure and cardiovascular disease (CVD) in Indian patients with CKD.

Methods

ICKD study is prospective, multicentric cohort study enrolling patients with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) 15-60 mL/min/1.73 m², or >60 mL/min/1.73 m² with proteinuria. Clinical details and biological samples are collected at annual visits. We analysed the baseline characteristics including socio-demographic details, risk factors, disease characteristics and laboratory measurements. In addition, we compared characteristics between urban and rural participants.

Results

A total of 4056 patients have been enrolled up to 31 March 2020. The mean ± SD age was 50.3 ± 11.8 years, 67.2% were males, two-thirds of patients lived in rural areas and the median eGFR was 40 mL/min/1.73 m². About 87% were hypertensive, 37% had diabetes, 22% had CVD, 6.7% had past history of acute kidney injury and 23% reported prior use of alternative drugs. Diabetic kidney disease, chronic interstitial nephritis (CIN) and CKD-cause unknown (CKDu) were the leading causes. Rural participants had more occupational exposure and tobacco use but lower educational status and income. CIN and unknown categories were leading causes in rural participants.

Conclusions

The ICKD study is the only large cohort study of patients with mild-to-moderate CKD in a lower middle income country. Baseline characteristics of study population reveal differences as compared with other cohorts from high-income countries.

Project description:BACKGROUND:The Dapagliflozin and Prevention of Adverse outcomes in Chronic Kidney Disease (DAPA-CKD; NCT03036150) trial was designed to assess the effect of the sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor dapagliflozin on kidney and cardiovascular events in participants with CKD with and without type 2 diabetes (T2D). This analysis reports the baseline characteristics of those recruited, comparing them with those enrolled in other trials. METHODS:In DAPA-CKD, 4304 participants with a urinary albumin:creatinine ratio (UACR) ?200?mg/g and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) between 25 and 75?mL/min/1.73?m2 were randomized to dapagliflozin 10?mg once daily or placebo. Mean eGFR was 43.1?mL/min/1.73?m2 and median UACR was 949?mg/g (108?mg/mmol). RESULTS:Overall, 2906 participants (68%) had a diagnosis of T2D and of these, 396 had CKD ascribed to a cause other than diabetes. The most common causes of CKD after diabetes (n?=?2510) were ischaemic/hypertensive nephropathy (n?=?687) and chronic glomerulonephritis (n?=?695), of which immunoglobulin A nephropathy (n?=?270) was the most common. A total of 4174 participants (97%) were receiving an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor or angiotensin receptor blocker, 1882 (43.7%) diuretics, 229 (5.3%) mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists and 122 (2.8%) glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists. In contrast to the Canagliflozin and Renal Events in Diabetes with Established Nephropathy Clinical Evaluation (CREDENCE), the DAPA-CKD trial enrolled participants with CKD due to diabetes and to causes other than diabetes. The mean eGFR of participants in the DAPA-CKD trial was 13.1?mL/min/1.73?m2 lower than in CREDENCE, similar to that in the Finerenone in Reducing Kidney Failure and Disease Progression in DKD (FIDELIO-DKD) trial and the Study Of diabetic Nephropathy with AtRasentan (SONAR). CONCLUSIONS:Participants with a wide range of underlying kidney diseases receiving renin-angiotensin system blocking therapy have been enrolled in the DAPA-CKD trial. The trial will examine the efficacy and safety of dapagliflozin in participants with CKD Stages 2-4 and increased albuminuria, with and without T2D.

Project description:BackgroundAbout 39,000 patients were newly prescribed renal replacement therapy in Japan in 2011, resulting in a total of more than 300,000 patients being treated with dialysis. This high prevalence of treated end stage kidney disease (ESKD) patients is an emergent problem that requires immediate attention. We launched a prospective cohort study to evaluate population specific characteristics of the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD). In this report, we describe the baseline characteristics and risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevalence among this cohort.MethodsNew patients from 16 nephrology centers who were older than 20 years of age and who visited or were referred for the treatment of CKD stage 2-5, but were not on dialysis therapy, were recruited in this study. At enrollment, medical history, lifestyle behaviors, functional status and current medications were recorded, and blood and urine samples were collected. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was calculated by a modified three-variable equation.ResultsWe enrolled 1138 patients, 69.6% of whom were male, with a mean age of 68 years. Compared with Western cohorts, patients in this study had a lower body mass index (BMI) and higher proteinuria. The prevalence of CVD was 26.8%, which was lower than that in Western cohorts but higher than that in the general Japanese population. Multivariate analysis demonstrated the following association with CVD prevalence: hypertension (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 3.57; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.82-7.02); diabetes (aOR 2.45; 95% CI 1.86-3.23); hemoglobin level less than 11 g/dl (aOR 1.61; 95% CI 1.21-2.15); receiving anti-hypertensive agents (aOR 3.54; 95% CI 2.27-5.53); and statin therapy (aOR 2.73; 95% CI 2.04-3.66). The combination of decreased eGFR and increased proteinuria was also associated with a higher prevalence of CVD.ConclusionsThe participants in this cohort had a lower BMI, higher proteinuria and lower prevalence of CVD compared with Western cohorts. Lower eGFR and high proteinuria were associated with CVD prevalence. Prospective follow up of these study patients will contribute to establishment of individual population-based treatment of CKD.

Project description:In the United States, public health insurance is available for nearly all persons with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Little is known about the extent of health insurance coverage for persons with non-dialysis dependent chronic kidney disease (CKD).To describe patterns of health insurance coverage for adults with non-dialysis dependent CKD and to examine risk factors for progression of CKD to ESRD and management of hypertension among those lacking insurance.Cross-sectional analysis of data from a nationally representative sample of 16,148 US adults aged 20 years or older who participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 1999-2006.National prevalence estimates of health insurance coverage, ESRD risk factors, and treatment of hypertension.An estimated 10.0% (95% CI, 8.3%-12.0%) of US adults with non-dialysis dependent CKD were uninsured, 60.9% (95% CI, 58.2%-63.7%) had private insurance and 28.7% (95% CI, 26.4%-31.1%) had public insurance alone. Uninsured persons with non-dialysis dependent CKD were more likely to be under the age of 50 (62.8% vs. 23.0%, P < 0.001) and nonwhite (58.7%, vs. 21.8%, P < 0.001) compared with their insured counterparts. Approximately two-thirds of uninsured adults with non-dialysis dependent CKD had at least one modifiable risk factor for CKD progression, including 57% with hypertension, 40% who were obese, 22% with diabetes, and 13% with overt albuminuria. In adjusted analyses, uninsured persons with non-dialysis dependent CKD were less likely to be treated for their hypertension (OR, 0.59; 95% CI, 0.40-0.85) and less likely to be receiving recommended therapy with angiotensin inhibitors (OR, 0.45; 95% CI, 0.26-0.77) compared with those with insurance coverage.Uninsured persons with non-dialysis dependent CKD are at higher risk for progression to ESRD than their insured counterparts but are less likely to receive recommended interventions to slow disease progression. Lack of public health insurance for patients with non-dialysis dependent CKD may result in missed opportunities to slow disease progression and thereby reduce the public burden of ESRD.

Project description:BackgroundSodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) are part of the standard of care for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), both with and without type 2 diabetes. Endothelin A (ETA) receptor antagonists have also been shown to slow progression of CKD. Differing mechanisms of action of SGLT2 and ETA receptor antagonists may enhance efficacy. We outline a study to evaluate the effect of combination zibotentan/dapagliflozin versus dapagliflozin alone on albuminuria and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR).MethodsWe are conducting a double-blind, active-controlled, Phase 2b study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ETA receptor antagonist zibotentan and SGLT2i dapagliflozin in a planned 415 adults with CKD (Zibotentan and Dapagliflozin for the Treatment of CKD; ZENITH-CKD). Participants are being randomized (1:2:2) to zibotentan 0.25 mg/dapagliflozin 10 mg once daily (QD), zibotentan 1.5 mg/dapagliflozin 10 mg QD and dapagliflozin 10 mg QD alone, for 12 weeks followed by a 2-week off-treatment wash-out period. The primary endpoint is the change in log-transformed urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) from baseline to Week 12. Other outcomes include change in blood pressure from baseline to Week 12 and change in eGFR the study. The incidence of adverse events will be monitored. Study protocol-defined events of special interest include changes in fluid-related measures (weight gain or B-type natriuretic peptide).ResultsA total of 447 patients were randomized and received treatment in placebo/dapagliflozin (n = 177), zibotentan 0.25 mg/dapagliflozin (n = 91) and zibotentan 1.5 mg/dapagliflozin (n = 179). The mean age was 62.8 years, 30.9% were female and 68.2% were white. At baseline, the mean eGFR of the enrolled population was 46.7 mL/min/1.73 m2 and the geometric mean UACR was 538.3 mg/g.ConclusionThis study evaluates the UACR-lowering efficacy and safety of zibotentan with dapagliflozin as a potential new treatment for CKD. The study will provide information about an effective and safe zibotentan dose to be further investigated in a Phase 3 clinical outcome trial.Clinical trial registration numberNCT04724837.
