[PMID: 38899225 PMCID: PMC11184388 DOI: 10.1016/j.ekir.2024.03.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/22/2023] [Revised: 02/09/2024] [Accepted: 03/04/2024] [Indexed: 06/21/2024] Open
Abstract
Introduction QT interval prolongation is a risk factor for fatal arrhythmias and other cardiovascular complications. QT interval prolongation in patients on hemodialysis (HD) is not well understood. Hypocalcemia is a suspected, but poorly verified etiology in these patients, and the association between serum phosphorus levels and QT interval prolongation is unknown. We sought to determine the prevalence of QT interval prolongation in patients on HD and to verify the association between predialysis serum calcium (Ca) and phosphate (P) levels and QT interval prolongation. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted on adult patients on maintenance HD who were enrolled in the Japanese Society for Dialysis Therapy and Renal Data Registry 2019. After assessing patient characteristics, linear regression analysis was performed with predialysis serum Ca and P levels as exposures and a rate-corrected QT (QTc) interval as the outcome. Results A total of 204,530 patients were analyzed with a mean QTc of 451.2 (standard deviation, 36.9) ms. After multivariable analysis, estimated change in QTc (coefficients; 95% confidence interval) per 1 mg/dl increase in serum Ca and P was -2.02 (-3.00 to -1.04) and 5.50 (3.92-7.09), respectively. In the restricted cubic spline curve, estimated change in QTc increased with lower values of serum Ca. The correlation between serum P and QTc showed a U-shaped curve. Conclusion Decreased serum Ca levels and decreased and increased serum P levels may be associated with QT interval prolongation in patients on maintenance HD.

Effects of evocalcet on parathyroid calcium-sensing receptor and vitamin D receptor expression in uremic rats. FASEB J 2023; 37:e23094. [PMID: 37462513 DOI: 10.1096/fj.202300209r] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2023] [Revised: 06/15/2023] [Accepted: 07/03/2023] [Indexed: 07/21/2023]
Abstract
Little is known about the effect of the recently developed calcimimetic evocalcet (Evo) on parathyroid calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) and vitamin D receptor (VDR) expression. We examined the effects of Evo and cinacalcet (Cina) on CaSR and VDR expression in 5/6 nephrectomized Sprague-Dawley rats fed a high-phosphorus diet for 4 weeks to develop secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT). These uremic rats were divided into 4 groups-baseline control (Nx4W) and groups with additional treatment with either the Vehicle, Evo, or Cina for 2 weeks; normal rats were used as normal controls (NC). Blood parameters and parathyroid tissue were analyzed. CaSR and VDR expression levels were determined using immunohistochemistry. The degree of kidney injury and hyperphosphatemia was similar in the uremic groups (Nx4W, Vehicle, Cina, and Evo). Serum parathyroid hormone levels were significantly higher in the Nx4W and Vehicle groups than in the NC group. This increase was significantly suppressed in the Cina and Evo groups compared with that in the Vehicle group. Serum calcium levels were significantly and equally lower in the Cina and Evo groups relative to those in the Vehicle group. CaSR expression was significantly lower in the Nx4W and Vehicle groups than in the NC group. This downregulation was of an equally lesser magnitude in the Cina and Evo groups. A similar trend was observed for VDR expression. These results indicate that Evo and Cina treatment can increase parathyroid CaSR and VDR expression in uremic rats with SHPT, which could provide better control of mineral and bone disorder markers.

Prevalence of low bone mineral density (T-score ≤ - 2.5) in the whole spectrum of chronic kidney disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Osteoporos Int 2023; 34:467-477. [PMID: 36370217 DOI: 10.1007/s00198-022-06598-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/28/2022] [Accepted: 11/03/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022]
Abstract
The prevalence of low bone mineral density (LBMD) in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) remains unknown. We identified a high prevalence of LBMD in CKD population. Thus, public health strategies should include efforts to prevent, early detect, and manage LBMD in CKD patients, especially in patients undergoing kidney replacement therapy. Mineral and bone disorders are common among patients with CKD, which affects bone mineral density. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to estimate the prevalence of low bone mineral density (LBMD) in adults with CKD. We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, CINAHL, and LILACS databases from inception to February 2021. Observational studies that reported the prevalence of LBMD in adults with CKD stages 3a-5D were included. The LBMD was defined according to the World Health Organization criterion (T-score ≤ - 2.5). Random-effect model meta-analyses were used to estimate the pooled prevalence of LBMD. Meta-regressions and subgroup analyses were conducted for stages of CKD, dialysis modality, gender, bone sites and morphology, and geographical region. This study was registered in PROSPERO, number CRD42020211077. One-hundred and fifty-three studies with 78,092 patients were included. The pooled global prevalence of LBMD in CKD was 24.5% (95% CI, 21.3 - 27.8%). Subgroup analyses indicated a higher prevalence of LBMD in dialysis patients (30%, 95% CI 25 - 35%) compared with non-dialysis CKD patients (12%, 95% CI 8 - 16%), cortical bone sites (28%, 95% CI 23 - 35%) relative to trabecular sites (19%, 95% CI 14 - 24%), while similar estimates in the European and the Asiatic continents (26%, 95% CI 21 - 30% vs 25%, 95% CI 21 - 29). The prevalence of LBMD in CKD patients is high, particularly in those undergoing dialysis and in cortical bone sites. Therefore, efforts to early diagnosis and management strategies should be implemented in clinical routine for an epidemiological control of LBMD in CKD patients.

Abstract
CONTEXT Parathyroid hormone (PTH) treatment targets for patients receiving hemodialysis (HD) are lower in Japan than in Europe. Whether this translates to lower bone turnover is unknown and could depend on skeletal PTH responsiveness. OBJECTIVE This study investigates whether skeletal PTH responsiveness is better preserved in Japanese vs European patients receiving HD. METHODS This is a post hoc analysis of data from 2 prospective cohort studies, using a case-control design. Patients receiving chronic intermittent HD therapy were eligible for inclusion. Participating Belgian and Japanese patients (n = 374) were matched 1:1 by age (59 ± 12 years), sex (66% male), diabetes (34%), and dialysis duration (39 months [22-63 months]). PTH, bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BALP), and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase isoform 5b (TRAP5b) were measured centrally in Liège, Belgium. RESULTS Japanese patients had lower levels of iPTH (207 vs 268 pg/mL; P < .001), BALP (15.3 vs 24.5 μg/L; P < .001), and TRAP5b (3.35 vs 5.79 U/L; P < .001). Linear regression analyses revealed lower levels of bone turnover markers for any given level of PTH in Japanese vs Belgian patients, indicating lower skeletal PTH responsiveness. Consistently, bone turnover markers were significantly lower in Japanese vs Belgian patients when stratifying or matching according to PTH levels. Male sex, obesity, and hyperphosphatemia were the main determinants of the bone turnover marker/PTH ratios. CONCLUSION Japanese patients receiving HD have lower bone turnover than their European counterparts, even at similar PTH levels. The rationale for the current regional differences in PTH treatment targets remains obscure and deserves further attention.

Abstract
The selection of dialysate calcium concentration (D-Ca) is still controversial among chronic hemodialysis (HD) regimens. We examined the trajectories of CKD MBD parameters among the J-DAVID trial participants to see the effect of D-Ca and alfacalcidol. The trial was an open-label randomized clinical trial including 976 HD patients with intact PTH of 180 pg/mL or lower which compared the users of vitamin D receptor activator (oral alfacalcidol) and non-users over a median of 4 years. The main D-Ca used at baseline were 3.0 mEq/L in 70% and 2.5 mEq/L in 25%, respectively. The primary endpoint was the composite of fatal and non-fatal cardiovascular events and the secondary endpoint was all-cause mortality. Multivariable Cox proportional hazard regression analyses in which D-Ca was included as a possible effect modifier and serum laboratory data as time-varying covariates showed no significant effect modification for composite cardiovascular events or all-cause mortality. This post hoc analysis showed that the effects of alfacalcidol on cardiovascular outcomes were not significantly modified by D-Ca.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prospective Dialysis Outcomes and Practice Patterns Study (DOPPS) has collected data since 2012 in all six Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries (Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and United Arab Emirates). We report the relationship of PTH with mortality in this largest GCC cohort of patients on hemodialysis studied to date. METHODS Data were from randomly selected national samples of hemodialysis facilities in GCC-DOPPS phases 5 and 6 (2012-2018). PTH descriptive findings and case mix-adjusted PTH/mortality Cox regression analyses were based on 1825 and 1422 randomly selected patients on hemodialysis, respectively. RESULTS Mean patient age was 55 years (median dialysis vintage, 2.1 years). Median PTH ranged from 259 pg/ml (UAE) to 437 pg/ml (Kuwait), with 22% having PTH <150 pg/ml, 24% with PTH of 150-300 pg/ml, 34% with PTH 301-700 pg/ml, and 20% with PTH >700 pg/ml. Patients with PTH >700 pg/ml were younger; on dialysis longer; less likely to be diabetic; have urine >200 ml/d; be prescribed 3.5 mEq/L dialysate calcium; had higher mean serum creatinine and phosphate levels; lower white blood cell counts; and more likely to be prescribed cinacalcet, phosphate binders, or IV vitamin D. A U-shaped PTH/mortality relationship was observed with more than two- and 1.5-fold higher adjusted HR of death at PTH >700 pg/ml and <300 pg/ml, respectively, compared with PTH of 301-450 pg/ml. CONCLUSIONS Secondary hyperparathyroidism is highly prevalent among GCC patients on hemodialysis, with a strong U-shaped PTH/mortality relationship seen at PTH <300 and >450 pg/ml. Future studies are encouraged for further understanding this PTH/mortality pattern in relationship to unique aspects of the GCC hemodialysis population.
