Abstract
Bioimpedance analysis-assessed extracellular water/total body water (ECW/TBW) ratio may be a marker for mortality and poor nutritional status in hemodialysis patients. In 193 maintenance hemodialysis patients, we retrospectively investigated the relationships among ECW/TBW ratio, mortality, and protein-energy wasting (PEW). Four components-body mass index, normalized protein catabolic rate, normalized serum creatinine level, and serum albumin level-constitute the simple PEW score; this score was calculated based on the positive number of items concerning malnutrition among these four components. A score ≥ 3 indicated PEW. Patients were stratified by an ECW/TBW ratio cut-off value (0.40) and by PEW versus non-PEW status. The simple PEW score, cardiothoracic ratio, and log-transformed C-reactive protein level were independently correlated with the ECW/TBW ratio. Eighty-four patients died during follow-up (median 4.3 years). After adjustments for sex, age, hemodialysis vintage, histories of cardiovascular events and diabetes, and C-reactive protein level, a higher ECW/TBW ratio and PEW were independently related to elevated risks of all-cause death. Adding the ECW/TBW ratio to a baseline risk model including PEW significantly increased C-statistics from 0.788 to 0.835. In conclusion, the ECW/TBW ratio may be an indicator of PEW and may be a predictor of death even accounting for PEW, in hemodialysis patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The objective was to explore the value of serum carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125) combined with N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) in predicting the clinical prognosis of patients with acute heart failure (AHF). METHODS We prospectively observed 213 patients with AHF. CA125 (U/ml) and NT-proBNP (pg/ml) were dichotomised based on ROC curve analysised prognostic cutpoints, and a variable with four groups was formed (CA125 and NT-proBNP): C1 = CA125 < 47.6 and NT-proBNP <3790 (n = 100); C2 = CA125 < 47.6 and NT-proBNP ≥3790 (n = 29); C3 = CA125 ≥ 47.6 and NT-proBNP < 3790 (n = 26); C4 = CA125 ≥ 47.6 and NT-proBNP ≥3790 (n = 58). Kaplan-Meier curve was drawn and multivariate COX regression analysis was performed to analyse the prognostic efficacy of CA125 combined with NT-ProBNP in patients with AHF. RESULTS The levels of CA125 and NT-proBNP in death group were obviously higher than those in non-death group [56.20 (45.70, 78.00) vs 31.10 (19.48, 47.68), p < 0.001; 5619.00 (2924.00, 10066.00) vs 2203.00 (1460.50, 5070.25), p < 0.001]. The ROC curve showed that the best cut-off values of CA125 and NT-proBNP for predicting the prognosis of AHF were 47.6 and 3790, respectively. Multivariate COX regression analysis showed that CA125 ≥ 47.6 and NT-proBNP ≥ 3790 were independent predictors of 1-year all-cause death in patients with AHF (HR = 3.05, 95%CI: 1.50-6.20, p = 0.002) and (HR = 2.34, 95%CI: 1.19-4.61, p = 0.014). At 12 months, 55 deaths (25.8%) were identified. The cumulative rate of mortality was highest for patients in C4 (56.9%), intermediate for C2 and C3 (24.1% and 34.6%, respectively), and lowest for C1 (6.0%), and p-value for trend <0.05. After adjusting for established clinical risk factors, compared with C1: C2 (HR = 4.58, 95%CI: 1.53-13.77, p = 0.007), C3 (HR = 5.24, 95%CI: 1.85-14.82, p = 0.002), C4 (HR = 7.75, 95%CI: 3.09-19.45, p < 0.001). CONCLUSION Elevated CA125 is an independent predictor of poor prognosis in patients with AHF, and combined with NT-proBNP can improve the efficiency of risk identification.

Abstract
Aims Patients with acute heart failure (AHF) are included into clinical trials regardless of differences in baseline clinical characteristics. The aim of this study was to assess patients with AHF according to the presence of central and/or peripheral congestion at hospital admission and evaluate treatment response and outcomes in studied phenotypes. Methods and results We investigated retrospectively 352 patients (mean age: 68 ± 13 years, 77% men) hospitalized due to AHF with the signs of congestion on admission. Patients were divided according to the type of signs of congestion into three groups: A, isolated pulmonary congestion (n = 52, 15%); B, isolated peripheral congestion (n = 31, 9%); and C, signs of mixed (peripheral and central) congestion (n = 269, 76%). Patients from Group A had lower concentration of urea, bilirubin, and gamma‐glutamyl transferase whereas higher level of haematocrit, albumin, and leukocytes on admission. The highest baseline N‐terminal pro‐B‐type natriuretic peptide level (median: 4113 vs. 3634 vs. 6093 pg/mL) and percentage of patients with chronic heart failure (56 vs. 58 vs. 74%; A vs. B. vs. C, respectively, all P < 0.01) were observed in Group C. There were no differences in terms of demographics, co‐morbidities, left ventricular ejection fraction, and applied treatment between studied groups. Patients from Group A had the highest systolic blood pressure on admission (145 ± 37 vs. 122 ± 20 vs. 130 ± 29 mmHg) and the biggest decrease in systolic blood pressure [−22 (−45 to −4) vs. −2 (−13 to 2) vs. −10 (−25 to 0) mmHg] and heart rate [−16 (−35 to −1.5) vs. −1 (−10 to 5) vs. −7 (−20 to 0) b.p.m.] with the lowest weight change [−1.0 (−1.0 to 0) vs. −2.9 (−3.8 to −0.9) vs. −2.0 (−3.0 to −1.0) kg; all P < 0.01] after 48 h of hospitalization. There were differences in short‐term and long‐term outcomes with favourable results in Group A. Group A experienced less frequent in‐hospital heart failure worsening during the first 48 h (4 vs. 23 vs. 7%), had shorter length of hospital stay [6 (5–8) vs. 7 (5–11) vs. 7 (6–11) days], and had lower 1 year all‐cause mortality (12 vs. 28 vs. 29%; all P < 0.05). Presence of peripheral congestion on admission was independent predictor for all‐cause mortality within 1 year [hazard ratio (95% confidence interval): 2.68 (1.06–6.79); P = 0.04]. Conclusions Patterns of congestion in AHF are associated with differences in clinical characteristics, treatment response, and outcomes. It needs to be considered once planning clinical trials in AHF.

Monitoring Volume Status Using Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis in Chronic Hemodialysis Patients. ASAIO J 2019; 64:245-252.

Abstract
Fluid overload can be an independent risk factor of cardiovascular events and all-cause death in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients on chronic hemodialysis. We performed a retrospective study to investigate whether intermittent control of fluid status decreases the rate of these complications using bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). In ESRD patients on chronic hemodialysis, we identified the ratio of extracellular water to total body water (ECW/TBW) every 6 months using InBody S10 (Biospace, Seoul, Korea), which was measured within 30 minutes after dialysis initiation on the first dialysis day of the week. The uncontrolled group included 57 (40.1%) patients with all ECW/TBW measurements ≥0.40; in contrast, the controlled group included 85 (59.9%) with any measured ECW/TBW <0.40. Included patients were followed for 29 (12-42) months. The risk of cardiovascular events was higher in the uncontrolled group (hazard ratio [HR], 2.4; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.2-5.1; p < 0.05) than it was in the controlled group; however, this difference disappeared after adjusting for age, sex, and Charlson comorbidity index (not significant). On the other hand, the patients in the uncontrolled group had a higher risk of all-cause death than did those in the controlled group, independent of age, sex, and Charlson comorbidity index (HR, 4.7; 95% CI, 1.4-16.1; p < 0.05). In conclusion, monitoring volume status using BIA may help to predict all-cause death in chronic hemodialysis patients. Further controlled studies are needed to confirm that strict volume control could reduce the rates of cardiovascular events and mortality in this population.

Abstract
Background Carbohydrate antigen-125 (CA125) is an ovarian cancer marker, but recent work has examined its role in risk stratification in heart failure. A recent meta-analysis examined its prognostic value in heart failure generally. However, there has been no systematic evaluation of its role specifically in acute heart failure (AHF). Methods PubMed and EMBASE databases were searched until 11 May 2018 for studies that evaluated the prognostic value of CA125 in AHF. Results A total of 129 and 179 entries were retrieved from PubMed and EMBASE. Sixteen studies (15 cohort studies, 1 randomised trial) including 8401 subjects with AHF (mean age 71 years old, 52% male, mean follow-up 13 months, range of patients 525.1±598.2) were included. High CA125 levels were associated with a 68% increase in all-cause mortality (8 studies, HRs: 1.68, 95% CI 1.36 to 2.07; p<0.0001; I2: 74%) and 77% increase in heart failure-related readmissions (5 studies, HRs: 1.77, 95% CI 1.22 to 2.59; p<0.01; I2: 73%). CA125 levels were higher in patients with fluid overload symptoms and signs compared with those without them, with a mean difference of 54.8 U/mL (5 studies, SE: 13.2 U/mL; p<0.0001; I2: 78%). Conclusion Our meta-analysis found that high CA125 levels are associated with AHF symptoms, heart failure-related hospital readmissions and all-cause mortality. Therefore, CA125 emerges as a useful risk stratification tool for identifying high-risk patients with more severe fluid overload, as well as for monitoring following an AHF episode.

Impact of intradialytic blood pressure changes on cardiovascular outcomes is independent of the volume status of maintenance hemodialysis patients. ACTA ACUST UNITED AC 2018; 12:779-788. [PMID: 30031744 DOI: 10.1016/j.jash.2018.06.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2018] [Revised: 05/02/2018] [Accepted: 06/19/2018] [Indexed: 12/31/2022]
Abstract
Intradialytic systolic blood pressure (SBP) changes are related to the volume status; however, whether SBP change impacts on adverse outcomes depends on the volume status remains uncertain. We retrospectively investigated the relationship among intradialytic changes in SBP, cardiovascular outcomes, and volume status in maintenance hemodialysis patients. We determined SBP changes (ΔSBP) as postdialysis SBP minus predialysis SBP and volume status as the ratio of extracellular water to total body water (ECW/TBW) using bioelectrical impedance analysis. There were 82 (60.3%) with ΔSBP -20 to 10 mm Hg, 21 (15.4%) with ΔSBP ≤ -20 mm Hg, and 33 (24.3%) with ΔSBP ≥ 10 mm Hg, and they were followed up for a median of 34 months. Cardiovascular events more frequently occurred in the patients with ΔSBP ≤ -20 mm Hg and ≥ 10 mm Hg (hazard ratio: 2.3 and 3.0; P = .062 and .006); these associations persisted even after adjusting for postdialysis ECW/TBW (P = .056 and .028). Moreover, ΔSBP ≥ 10 mm Hg was associated with increased cardiovascular mortalities independent of postdialysis ECW/TBW (P = .043). There was an independent association of volume status between considerable SBP decrease or increase during hemodialysis and adverse cardiovascular outcomes. Besides appropriate volume control, other factors related to BP changes during hemodialysis must be investigated.

Abstract
Background Acute heart failure (AHF) is a frequent reason for hospitalization worldwide and effective treatment options are limited. It is known that AHF is a condition characterized by impaired vasorelaxation, together with reduced nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability, an endogenous vasodilatory compound. Supplementation of inorganic sodium nitrate (NaNO3) is an indirect dietary source of NO, through bioconversion. It is proposed that oral sodium nitrate will favorably affect levels of circulating NO precursors (nitrate and nitrite) in AHF patients, resulting in reduced systemic vascular resistance, without significant hypotension. Methods and outcomes We propose a single center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled pilot trial, evaluating the feasibility of sodium nitrate as a treatment for AHF. The primary hypothesis that sodium nitrate treatment will result in increased systemic levels of nitric oxide pre-cursors (nitrate and nitrite) in plasma, in parallel with improved vasorelaxation, as assessed by non-invasively derived systemic vascular resistance index. Additional surrogate measures relevant to the known pathophysiology of AHF will be obtained in order to assess clinical effect on dyspnea and renal function. Discussion The results of this study will provide evidence of the feasibility of this novel approach and will be of interest to the heart failure community. This trial may inform a larger study.

Abstract
AIMS Fluid overload is a hallmark in acute heart failure (AHF). Bioelectrical impedance vector analysis (BIVA) has emerged as a noninvasive method for quantifying patients' hydration. We aimed to evaluate the effect of BIVA hydration status (BHS) measured before discharge on mortality and rehospitalization for AHF. METHODS We included 369 consecutive patients discharged from the cardiology department from a third-level hospital with a diagnosis of AHF. On the basis of BHS, patients were grouped into three categories: hyper-hydration (>74.3%), normo-hydration (72.7-74.3%) and dehydration (<72.7%). Appropriate survival techniques were used to evaluate the association between BHS and the risk of death and readmission for AHF. RESULTS At a median follow-up of 12 months (interquartile range, IQR: 5-19), 80 (21.7%) deaths and 93 (25.2%) readmissions for AHF were registered. The mortality and readmission rates for the BHS categories were hyper-hydration (3.28 and 3.83 per 10 persons-years); normo-hydration (1.43 and 2.68 per 10 persons-years); and dehydration (2.24 and 2.53 per 10 persons-years) (P < 0.05 for all comparisons). In an adjusted analysis, BHS displayed a significant association with mortality (P = 0.004), with a higher mortality risk in those with hyperhydration. Likewise, BHS showed to linearly predict AHF-readmission risk [hazard ratio 1.06 (1.03-1.10); P = 0.001 per increase in 1%]. CONCLUSION In patients admitted with AHF, BHS assessed before discharge was independently associated with the risk of death and AHF-readmission.

Abstract
Renal dysfunction (RD) and venous congestion are related and common in heart failure (HF). Studies suggest that venous congestion may be the primary driver of RD in HF. In this study, we sought to investigate retrospectively the relationship between common measures of renal function with caval congestion and mortality among outpatients with HF and RD. We reviewed data from 103 HF outpatients (45 males, mean age 74 years, ejection fraction 41.8 ± 11.6 %) with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of < 60 ml/min in a single centre. During an ambulatory visit, all patients underwent blood test and ultrasonography of the inferior vena cava (IVC). Caval congestion was defined as IVC with both dilatation and impaired collapsibility. The best values of renal metrics in predicting caval congestion were determined with receiver-operating characteristic analysis. The BUN/Cr ratio is moderately correlated with IVC expiratory maximum diameter (r = 0.31, p < 0.0007). In a multiple logistic regression model, BUN/Cr > 25.5 (adjusted OR 2.98, p 0.015) and eGFR ≤ 45.8 (adjusted OR 5.38, p 0.002) identify patients at risk for caval congestion; a BUN/Cr > 23.7 was the best predictor of impaired collapsibility (adjusted OR 4.41, p 0.001). a BUN/Cr > 25.5 (HR 2.19, 95 % CI 1.21-3.94, p < 0.001) and NYHA class 3 (HR 2.91, 95 % CI 1.60-5.31, p < 0.0005) were independent risk factors associated with all-cause death during a median follow-up of 31 months. In outpatients with HF and RD, a higher BUN/Cr and lower eGFR are reliable renal biomarkers for caval congestion. The BUN/Cr is associated with long-term mortality and may help to stratify HF severity.

Overhydration measured by bioimpedance analysis and the survival of patients on maintenance hemodialysis: a single-center study. Kidney Res Clin Pract 2015; 34:212-8. [PMID: 26779424 PMCID: PMC4688576 DOI: 10.1016/j.krcp.2015.10.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 54] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/26/2015] [Revised: 09/15/2015] [Accepted: 10/06/2015] [Indexed: 11/26/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Bioimpedance analysis (BIA) helps measuring the constituents of the body noninvasively. Prior studies suggest that BIA-guided fluid assessment helps to predict survival in dialysis patients. We aimed to evaluate the clinical usefulness of BIA for predicting the survival rate of hemodialysis patients in Korea. METHODS We conducted a single-center retrospective study. All patients were diagnosed with end-stage renal disorder and started maintenance hemodialysis between June 2009 and April 2014. BIA was performed within the 1(st) week from the start of hemodialysis. The patients were classified into 2 groups based on volume status measured by the body composition monitor (BCM; Fresenius): an overhydrated group [OG; overhydration/extracellular water (OH/ECW) >15%] and a nonoverhydrated group (NOG; OH/ECW ≤15%). RESULTS A total of 344 patients met the inclusion criteria. Of these, 252 patients (73.3%) were categorized into the OG and 92 patients (26.7%) into the NOG. Age- and sex-matching patients were selected with a rate of 2:1. Finally, 160 overhydrated patients and 80 nonoverhydrated patients were analyzed. Initial levels of hemoglobin and serum albumin were significantly lower in the OG. During follow-up, 43 patients from the OG and 7 patients from the NOG died (median follow-up duration, 24.0 months). The multivariate-adjusted all-cause mortality was significantly increased in the OG (odds ratio, 2.569; P = 0.033) and older patients (odds ratio, 1.072/y; P < 0.001). No significant difference of all-cause or disease-specific admission rate was observed between the 2 groups. CONCLUSION The ratio of OH/ECW volume measured with body composition monitor is related to the overall survival of end-stage renal disorder patients who started maintenance hemodialysis.

Abstract
Congestive heart failure (CHF) worsening is a worldwide cause of rehospitalization and mortality, specially during the early period after hospitalization. Fluid accumulation plays a key role in the pathophysiology of both acute heart decompensation and disease progression. The effective use of drugs to maintain restored clinical stabilization in recently discharged patients is a difficult task, and it relies on matching the most appropriately tailored therapy to specific clinical profiles. However, no successful treatment has been shown to reduce post-discharge readmission. We evaluated in a case-control study the effectiveness of an early and personalized congestion-guided ambulatory program on medium-term (6 months) compensation in recently discharged CHF patients. Group A (22 patients) underwent a post-discharge close follow-up consisting of: an early clinic visit within 10 days; a second visit within 10 days after the first; and the other visits at month 1, 2, 3 after discharge. Controls (Group B, 21 patients) underwent a conventional ambulatory follow-up only at month 1, 2, 3 after discharge. The ambulatory approach in both groups was based on the monitoring of signs/symptoms of congestion and body weight, body hydration estimation by using bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) and laboratory data. This assessment was finalized to tailor furosemide and daily fluid intake at each visit to eliminate clinical or instrumental evidence of persistent congestion relieving the signs and symptoms. At 6 months, Group A was associated with a better clinical compensation (improved hydration state, lower BNP levels and congestion score), an improved quality of life, and reduced re-hospitalizations. We conclude that in CHF the early and personalized ambulatory follow-up based on congestion-guided treatment is effective to optimize management and maintain clinical stability in the post-discharge period.

Abstract
In chronic heart failure (CHF), neurohumoral systems, which help to maintain circulatory homeostasis, are maladaptive and responsible for disease progression and congestion in the long term. The activation of sympathetic hormones and renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), in addition to non-osmotic vasopressin release, up-regulation of aquoporine 2 and renal sodium transporters, and renal resistance to natriuretic peptide lead to a salt- and water-avid state. A primary decrease in cardiac output and arterial vasodilatation brings about arterial underfilling, which activates neuro-humoral reflexes and systems. The heart disease is the primum movens, but the kidney is the end organ responsible for increased tubular reabsorption of sodium and water. The most important hemodynamic alteration in the kidneys is constriction of glomerular efferent arterioles, which increases intraglomerular pressure and hence glomerular filtration rate. The resulting changes in intrarenal oncotic and hydrostatic pressures promote tubular reabsorption. Over time, a gradually falling glomerular filtration rate, due to CHF progression, medications or chronic kidney injury due to comorbidities, becomes more critical in sodium/water imbalance. Moreover, long-term use of diuretics can lead to a diuretic-resistant state, which necessitates the use of higher doses further activating RAAS, often at the expense of worsening renal function. However, every patient is a case in itself and the general pathophysiology of hydro-saline balance may be different in each subject. A mechanism can prevail over others and the kidney may have different responses to the same diuretic. So, it is necessary to customize each individual's long-term therapy, tailoring medical treatment according to clinical profiles, comorbidities and renal function, introducing active control of body weight by the patient himself, fluid restriction, a less restricted sodium intake, flexibility of diuretic doses, early and personalized ambulatory follow-up, and congestion monitoring by bioelectrical impedance vector analysis, BNP, inferior vena cava ultrasonography or echocardiographic e/e(1) ratio or pulmonary capillary wedge pressure.
