Abstract
Background Disturbances in the cardiovascular system, bone and skeletal muscle are independent risk factors for death among patients receiving haemodialysis (HD). However, the combined impact of disorders of these three organs on morbidity and mortality is unclear in the HD population. Methods A total of 3031 Japanese patients on maintenance HD were prospectively followed. The outcomes were all-cause mortality, major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and bone fracture. Patients were divided into four groups (G1-G4) according to the baseline number of diseased organs represented as histories of cardiovascular disease and bone fractures and the presence of low skeletal muscle mass as follows: G1, no organ; G2, one organ; G3, two organs; G4, three organs. Multivariable-adjusted survival models were used to analyse associations between the number of diseased organs and outcomes. Results During a 4-year follow-up, 499 deaths, 540 MACE and 140 bone fractures occurred. In the Cox proportional hazards model, the risk for all-cause mortality was significantly higher in G2, G3 and G4 than in G1 as the reference {hazard ratio: G2, 2.16 [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.65-2.84], G3, 3.10 [95% CI 2.27-4.23] and G4, 3.11 [95% CI 1.89-5.14]}. Similarly, the risks for developing MACE and bone fractures were significantly elevated as the number of organ disorders increased. Conclusions Multiple disorders of the cardiovascular-bone-skeletal muscle axis are strong predictors of morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing HD.

Exploring the impact of short daily haemodialysis on muscle strength and bone health in end-stage kidney disease patients. J Cachexia Sarcopenia Muscle 2024; 15:718-725. [PMID: 38272859 PMCID: PMC10995248 DOI: 10.1002/jcsm.13428] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/08/2023] [Revised: 11/15/2023] [Accepted: 12/18/2023] [Indexed: 01/27/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Short-daily haemodialysis (SDH) has been strongly recommended over conventional haemodialysis (CHD) for end-stage kidney disease patients, though few studies have directly compared the effects of these two haemodialysis (HD) modalities on clinical variables related to patient's health. METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional study in individuals undergoing HD, comparing epidemiological, clinical, metabolic, inflammatory, anthropometric, bone health/metabolism, and skeletal muscle function according to dialysis modality. One-hundred seventy-eight patients (20.8% females, 62 ± 2.5 years old), were analysed in this study, 86 (48%) of whom were undergoing CHD versus 92 (51%) who were undergoing SDH. RESULTS SDH patients had significantly higher serum albumin levels (3.93 vs. 3.66 g/dL, P < 0.0001) and higher Kt/v (2.6 vs. 2.38, P < 0.0001). SDH group presented a significantly lower number of erythropoietin-stimulating agents compared with CHD group (percentage: 53.3 vs. 83.7%, P < 0.0001) and had lower levels of serum phosphate (4.9 vs. 5.3 mg/dL, P = 0.004) and parathyroid hormone (PTH) (398.4 vs. 480.4 pg/mL, P < 0.001) compared with CHD patients. In terms of bone health and metabolism, SDH patients had significantly higher total BMD, femur BMD, lumbar BMD, and femoral neck BMD compared with CHD patients (all P < 0.05). SDH patients also had lower anti-osteogenic and inflammatory biomarkers, including FGF23, sclerostin, TNF, IL-18, IL-17a, and C-reactive peptide (all P < 0.05). CHD modality was demonstrated to be a risk factor for low BMD (odds ratio: 4.02; 95% CI: 1.59-10.2, P = 0.003). In terms of skeletal muscle function, SDH patients had significantly higher 6-minute walking test (444.6 vs. 424.9 m, P = 0.04) and higher fat-free mass (52.3 vs. 51.68 kg, P = 0.02) compared with CHD patients. Higher fat-free mass and handgrip strength were associated with a 34% and 23% lower risk of low BMD, respectively. SDH patients had lower levels of the uremic toxin asymmetric dimethyl-l-arginine (ADMA) (1.8 vs. 2.07 μM, P = 0.002) and fasting blood glucose (132.6 vs. 141.7 mg/dL, P < 0.02) than CHD group. SDH patients also displayed higher levels of haemoglobin when compared with CHD group (11.9 vs. 10.2 g/dL, P < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS The present study improves our understanding of the relationship between dialysis modality and clinical variables that may influence HD patient's health. Grip strength and lean mass were positively correlated with bone mineral density in HD patients regardless of dialysis modality. SDH was associated with better bone mineral density, inflammatory profile, and skeletal muscle function when compared with CHD patients. These findings provide more evidence of the clinical benefits of SDH that should be explored in greater detail.

A simple score for malnutrition-inflammation complex syndrome (MICS) is associated with the risk of mortality in Japanese patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis. Ther Apher Dial 2024; 28:206-217. [PMID: 37945327 DOI: 10.1111/1744-9987.14085] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/04/2023] [Revised: 10/20/2023] [Accepted: 11/02/2023] [Indexed: 11/12/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Malnutrition-inflammation complex syndrome (MICS) is highly prevalent in patients undergoing hemodialysis. We determined the prognostic value of the Simple MICS score, calculated using a combination of age, body mass index, and serum concentrations of albumin, creatinine, and C-reactive protein. METHODS We retrospectively recruited 218 Japanese patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis. The primary outcome was all-cause mortality, and the main exposure was the Simple MICS score. Cox proportional hazard regression analysis and logistic regression analysis were used to characterize the relationship between the Simple MICS score and mortality. RESULTS During a median 4.4-year follow-up period, 56 patients died. Multivariable-adjusted models showed that a higher Simple MICS score was associated with higher risks of mortality. The predictability for all-cause mortality of the Simple MICS score was significantly better than conventional nutrition-related indices. CONCLUSION The Simple MICS score can be used to stratify mortality risk in patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis.

Abstract
"End of life" is a stage defined by the existence of an irreversible prognosis that ends with a person's death. One of the aspects of interest regarding end of life focuses on parenteral nutrition, which is usually administered in order to avoid malnutrition and associated complications. However, parenteral nutrition can be adapted to specific circumstances and evolve in its functionality through supplementation with certain nutrients that can have a beneficial effect. This narrative review aims to carry out a situation analysis of the role that could be adopted by supplemental parenteral nutrition in attenuating alterations typical of end of life and potential improvement in quality of life.

Abstract
Acute heart failure is a frequent cause of hospital admission in Portugal, and has an increasing tendency given the aging population. Although most admissions for acute heart failure are caused by congestive conditions, not all patients have a congestive phenotype, reflecting the complexity of a process with multiple pathophysiological pathways. The use of diuretics, usually loop diuretics, is the mainstay of treatment for congestion. However, many patients develop resistance, thus constituting a challenge with no consensual solution to date, despite extensive debate over the years. Despite its frequent use in clinical practice, the co-administration of albumin and furosemide remains controversial in the management of patients with acute heart failure, hypoalbuminemia, and diuretic resistance. This review addresses the pathophysiological mechanisms of congestion in patients with acute heart failure and explores the theoretical basis that supports the co-administration of albumin and furosemide in this clinical context. It is intended to clarify the potential benefit of the combined approach in this specific population and identify possible gaps in the literature that could be the subject of future studies.

Abstract
Patients with chronic kidney disease or on maintenance dialysis usually have secondary hyperparathyroidism. It is extremely rare for these patients to have hypoparathyroidism. It can be occasionally seen in patients on maintenance dialysis or after transplant if they have undergone parathyroidectomy for tertiary hyperparathyroidism or advanced secondary hyperparathyroidism. Also, the results of hypoparathyroidism on serum phosphorus in these patients have been infrequently reported in the literature. Here, we present a patient with chronic kidney disease stage 3 who presented with hypophosphatemia and hypoparathyroidism from the malnutrition-inflammation complex syndrome.
