Vriend EMC, Galenkamp H, van Valkengoed IGM, van den Born BJH. Sex disparities in hypertension prevalence, blood pressure trajectories and the effects of anti-hypertensive treatment. Blood Press 2024; 33:2365705. [PMID: 38953911 DOI: 10.1080/08037051.2024.2365705] [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: 04/16/2024] [Accepted: 06/01/2024] [Indexed: 07/04/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Sex differences in blood pressure (BP), hypertension and hypertension mediated cardiovascular complications have become an increasingly important focus of attention. This narrative review gives an overview of current studies on this topic, with the aim to provide a deeper understanding of the sex-based disparities in hypertension with essential insights for refining prevention and management strategies for both men and women. METHODS AND RESULTS We searched Medline, Embase and the Cochrane libray on sex differences in BP-trajectories and hypertension prevalence. In the past decade various population-based studies have revealed substantial sex-disparities in BP-trajectories throughout life with women having a larger increase in hypertension prevalence after 30 years of age and a stronger association between BP and cardiovascular disease (CVD). In general, the effects of antihypertensive treatment appear to be consistent across sexes in different populations, although there remains uncertainty about differences in the efficacy of BP lowering drugs below 55 years of age. CONCLUSION The current uniform approach to the diagnosis and management of hypertension in both sexes neglects the distinctions in hypertension, while the differences underscore the need for sex-specific recommendations, particularly for younger individuals. A major limitation hampering insights into sex differences in BP-related outcomes is the lack of sex-stratified analyses or an adequate representation of women. Additional large-scale, longitudinal studies are imperative.

Analysis of chronic kidney disease epidemiology in Kazakhstan using nationwide data for 2014-2020 and forecasting future trends of prevalence and mortality for 2030. Ren Fail 2024; 46:2326312. [PMID: 38482586 PMCID: PMC10946271 DOI: 10.1080/0886022x.2024.2326312] [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: 12/14/2023] [Accepted: 02/28/2024] [Indexed: 03/20/2024] Open
Abstract
According to the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study, chronic kidney disease (CKD) was prevalent in 697.5 million individuals worldwide in 2017. By 2040, it is anticipated that CKD will rank as the fifth most common cause of death. This study aims to examine the epidemiology of CKD in Kazakhstan and to project future trends in CKD prevalence and mortality by 2030. The retrospective analysis was performed on a database acquired from the Unified National Electronic Health System for 703,122 patients with CKD between 2014 and 2020. During the observation period, 444,404 women and 258,718 men were registered with CKD, 459,900 (66%) were Kazakhs and 47% were older than 50. The incidence rate notably decreased: 6365 people per million population (PMP) in 2014 and 4040 people PMP in 2020. The prevalence changed from 10,346 to 38,287 people PMP, and the mortality rate increased dramatically from 279 PMP to 916 PMP. Kazakhstan's central regions, Turkestan and Kyzylorda were identified as the most burdensome ones. The ARIMA model projected 1,504,694 expected prevalent cases in 2030. The predicted mortality climbed from 17,068 cases in 2020 to 37,305 deaths in 2030. By 2030, the prevalence and mortality of CKD will significantly increase, according to the predicted model. A thorough action plan with effective risk factor management, enhanced screening among risk populations, and prompt treatment are required to lessen the burden of disease in Kazakhstan.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dyslipidemia is an important and modifiable risk factor for CVD in children with CKD. METHODS In a cross-sectional study of baseline serum lipid levels in a large prospective cohort study of children with stage 3-5 (predialysis) CKD, frequencies of abnormal lipid levels and types of dyslipidemia were analyzed in the entire cohort and in subpopulations defined by fasting status or by the presence of nephrotic range proteinuria. Associated clinical and laboratory characteristics were determined by multivariable linear regression analysis. RESULTS A total of 681 patients aged 12.2 ± 3.3 years with a mean eGFR of 26.9 ± 11.6 ml/min/1.73 m2 were included. Kidney diagnosis was classified as CAKUT in 69%, glomerulopathy in 8.4%, and other disorders in 22.6% of patients. Nephrotic range proteinuria (defined by a urinary albumin/creatinine ratio > 1.1 g/g) was present in 26.9%. Dyslipidemia was found in 71.8%, and high triglyceride (TG) levels were the most common abnormality (54.7%). Fasting status (38.9%) had no effect on dyslipidemia status. Except for a significant increase in TG in more advanced CKD, lipid levels and frequencies of dyslipidemia were not significantly different between CKD stages. Hypertriglyceridemia was associated with younger age, lower eGFR, shorter duration of CKD, higher body mass index (BMI-SDS), lower serum albumin, and higher diastolic blood pressure. CONCLUSIONS Dyslipidemia involving all lipid fractions, but mainly TG, is present in the majority of patients with CKD irrespective of CKD stage or fasting status and is significantly associated with other cardiovascular risk factors.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) represents a significant global public health issue, with its incidence and prevalence escalating annually. Metabolic disorders are one of the major etiological factors of CKD. This study investigates the relationship between the emerging metabolic index triglyceride-glucose body mass index (TyG-BMI) and the onset of CKD. Our study enrolled 3,485 healthy participants (1,576 men and 1,909 women), with a follow-up period of 3 years. The primary outcome was the emergence of CKD, defined by an eGFR less than 60 mL/(min × 1.73 m2) or the onset of proteinuria. To examine the TyG-BMI and CKD onset relationship, we used univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses, stratified analyses, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. After a three-year follow-up, CKD developed in 2% (n = 70) of the participants. Subjects were divided into three equal groups based on their TyG-BMI values, from lowest to highest. After adjusting for potential confounders, the highest TyG-BMI group exhibited a multifactor-adjusted odds ratio (OR) of 4.24 (95% CI 1.30-13.78, P = 0.016) compared to the lowest group. Stratified analyses revealed that the association between TyG-BMI and CKD onset was stronger among females, individuals younger than 60 years, and those with a BMI ≥ 24 kg/m2. Furthermore, TYG-BMI was effective in predicting the incidence of CKD. Our findings indicate that TyG-BMI is an independent risk factor for the onset of CKD and that assessment of TyG-BMI may be useful for the early identification of individuals at high risk for CKD.

Symptom Burden and Its Impact on Quality of Life in Patients With Moderate to Severe CKD: The International Chronic Kidney Disease Outcomes and Practice Patterns Study (CKDopps). Am J Kidney Dis 2024:S0272-6386(24)00901-6.

Abstract
RATIONALE & OBJECTIVE Recent evidence suggests substantial burden of symptoms experienced by people with non-dialysis chronic kidney disease (ND-CKD), but informative large-scale studies are scarce. We aimed to assess the prevalence of symptoms, and the association of overall symptom burden with quality of life in patients with moderate to severe CKD. STUDY DESIGN Cross-sectional study. SETTING & PARTICIPANTS 4430 patients with ND-CKD stages 3-5 enrolled into the CKDopps Study in Brazil, France, and the US between 2013 and 2021. EXPOSURES 13 individual patient-reported symptoms from the KDQOL-SF questionnaire and an overall symptom burden score (low, intermediate, and high). OUTCOMES Physical and mental component summary scores (PCS, MCS) of the KDQOL-SF. ANALYTICAL APPROACH Adjusted prevalence ratios and generalized estimating equations. RESULTS Patients (mean age: 68 years; 40% women; mean baseline eGFR: 30 mL/min/1.73m2) were very much to extremely bothered by numerous symptoms ["soreness in muscles" (23%), "washed out or drained" (21%), "cramps, shortness of breath, dry skin, diminished sex life, or numbness in hands or feet" (14-17%)]. The adjusted prevalences of "cramps", "washed out or drained", "lack of appetite", "nausea/upset stomach", and "sex life" were greater with more severe CKD, and, except for "sex life", in women. A high overall symptom burden was more common in women, in France, and in patients with severe albuminuria and various comorbidities, but not with lower eGFR. PCS and MCS scores were 13.4 and 7.7 points lower, respectively, for high vs. low overall symptom burden. LIMITATIONS Generalizability limited to patients under nephrology care, residual confounding and inaccurate Brazilian translation of some symptoms. CONCLUSIONS The high symptom burden observed in this large cohort of ND-CKD patients across three diverse countries and its strong association with poorer HRQOL should inform clinical management of and clinical research in CKD.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This analysis examined the baseline characteristics and clinical outcomes of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and rapid or non-rapid estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) decline, using retrospective data from DISCOVER CKD (ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04034992). METHODS Data (2008-2020) were extracted from UK Clinical Practice Research Datalink, US TriNetX, US Limited Claims and Electronic Health Record Dataset, and Japan Medical Data Vision. Patients with CKD (two consecutive eGFR measures < 75 mL/min/1.73 m2 recorded 90-730 days apart) were included. Rapid eGFR decline was defined as an annual decline of > 4 mL/min/1.73 m2 at 2 years post-index; non-rapid eGFR decline was defined as an annual decline of ≤ 4 mL/min/1.73 m2. Clinical outcomes assessed included all-cause mortality, kidney outcomes (composite risk of kidney failure [progression to CKD stage 5] or > 50% eGFR decline, and kidney failure alone), cardiovascular events-including major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE; non-fatal myocardial infarction/stroke and cardiovascular death)-and all-cause hospitalization. RESULTS Across databases, rapid eGFR decline occurred in 13.7% of 804,237 eligible patients. Mean annual eGFR decline ranged between - 6.21 and - 6.86 mL/min/1.73 m2 in patients with rapid eGFR decline versus between - 0.11 and - 0.77 mL/min/1.73 m2 in patients with non-rapid eGFR decline. Rapid eGFR decline was associated with increased comorbidity burden and medication prescriptions. Across databases, the composite risk of kidney failure or > 50% decline in eGFR was significantly greater in patients with rapid versus non-rapid eGFR decline (P < 0.01); all-cause mortality, kidney failure alone, MACE, and all-cause hospitalization each significantly increased in two databases (P < 0.01-0.05). CONCLUSION Understanding patient factors associated with rapid eGFR decline in patients with CKD may help identify individuals who would benefit from proactive management to minimize the risk of adverse outcomes.

Abstract
Cellular senescence contributes to inflammatory kidney disease via the secretion of inflammatory and profibrotic factors. Protease-activating receptor 2 (PAR2) is a key regulator of inflammation in kidney diseases. However, the relationship between PAR2 and cellular senescence in kidney disease has not yet been described. In this study, we found that PAR2-mediated metabolic changes in renal tubular epithelial cells induced cellular senescence and increased inflammatory responses. Using an aging and renal injury model, PAR2 expression was shown to be associated with cellular senescence. Under in vitro conditions in NRK52E cells, PAR2 activation induces tubular epithelial cell senescence and senescent cells showed defective fatty acid oxidation (FAO). Cpt1α inhibition showed similar senescent phenotype in the cells, implicating the important role of defective FAO in senescence. Finally, we subjected mice lacking PAR2 to aging and renal injury. PAR2-deficient kidneys are protected from adenine- and cisplatin-induced renal fibrosis and injury, respectively, by reducing senescence and inflammation. Moreover, kidneys lacking PAR2 exhibited reduced numbers of senescent cells and inflammation during aging. These findings offer fresh insights into the mechanisms underlying renal senescence and indicate that targeting PAR2 or FAO may be a promising therapeutic approach for managing kidney injury.

Abstract
A growing body of research is categorizing sex differences in both sickle cell anemia (SCA) and acute kidney injury (AKI); however, most of this work is being conducted in high-resource settings. Here, we evaluated risk factors and clinical parameters associated with AKI and AKI severity, stratified by sex, in a cohort of children hospitalized with SCA and vaso-occlusive pain crisis (VOC). The purpose of this study was to explore sex disparities in a high-risk, vulnerable population. This study was a secondary analysis of data collected from a cohort of Ugandan children between 2 and 18 yr of age prospectively enrolled. A total of 185 children were enrolled in the primary study; 41.6% were female and 58.4% were male, with a median age of 8.9 yr. Incident or worsening AKI (P = 0.026) occurred more frequently in female compared with male children, despite no differences in AKI on admission. Female children also had altered markers of renal function including higher creatinine levels at admission (P = 0.03), higher peak creatinine (P = 0.006), and higher urine neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) at admission (P = 0.003) compared with male children. Female children had elevated total (P = 0.045) and conjugated bilirubin at admission (P = 0.02) compared with male children and higher rates of hematuria at admission (P = 0.004). Here, we report sex differences in AKI in children with SCA and VOC, including increased incidence and worsening of AKI in female pediatric patients, in association with an increase in biological indicators of poor renal function including creatinine, estimated glomerular filtration rate, and NGAL.NEW & NOTEWORTHY In this study, we report an increased risk of developing acute kidney injury (AKI) during hospitalization, worsening AKI, and death among females with sickle cell anemia (SCA) hospitalized with an acute pain crisis compared with males. The sex differences in AKI were not explained by socioeconomic differences, severity of pain, or disease severity among females compared with males. Together, these data suggest that female children with SCA may be at increased risk of AKI.

Clin Kidney J 2024; 17:sfae177. [PMID: 39114497 PMCID: PMC11304598 DOI: 10.1093/ckj/sfae177] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/09/2023] [Indexed: 08/10/2024] Open
Abstract
Background and hypothesis Published literature suggests that sleep duration and quality may be affected in adults with chronic kidney disease. However, the relationship between these two entities remains a matter of debate. The objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to assess the effect of sleep duration and quality on chronic kidney disease. Methods A systematic review of the Medline/PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and CINAHL databases was conducted for articles pertaining to the association between sleep duration and quality on chronic kidney disease. The main outcome was the hazard/risk ratio of chronic kidney disease in patients of varying sleep durations and quality. Results In total, 42 studies (2 613 971 patients) with a mean age of 43.55 ± 14.01 years were included in the meta-analysis. Compared with a reference range of 7 to 8 hours of sleep, short sleep durations of ≤4 hours (RR 1.41, 95% CI: 1.16 to 1.71, P < 0.01), ≤5 hours (RR 1.46, 95% CI: 1.22 to 1.76, P < 0.01), ≤6 hours (RR 1.18, 95% CI: 1.09 to 1.29, P < 0.01), and ≤7 hours (RR 1.19, 95% CI: 1.12 to 1.28, P < 0.01) were significantly associated with an increased risk of incident chronic kidney disease. Long sleep durations of ≥8 hours (RR 1.15, 95% CI: 1.03 to 1.28, P < 0.01) and ≥9 hours (RR 1.46, 95% CI: 1.28 to 1.68, P < 0.01) were also significantly associated with an increased risk of incident chronic kidney disease. Meta-regression did not find any significant effect of age, gender, geographical region, and BMI and an association with sleep duration and risk of incident chronic kidney disease. Conclusion Both short and long sleep durations were significantly associated with a higher risk of chronic kidney disease. Interventions targeted toward achieving an optimal duration of sleep may reduce the risk of incident chronic kidney disease.

Endogenous activation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-α in proximal tubule cells in counteracting phosphate toxicity. Am J Physiol Renal Physiol 2024; 327:F208-F223.

Abstract
Increased dietary phosphate consumption intensifies renal phosphate burden. Several mechanisms for phosphate-induced renal tubulointerstitial fibrosis have been reported. Considering the dual nature of phosphate as both a potential renal toxin and an essential nutrient for the body, kidneys may possess inherent protective mechanisms against phosphate overload, rather than succumbing solely to injury. However, there is limited understanding of such mechanisms. To identify these mechanisms, we conducted single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) analysis of the kidneys of control and dietary phosphate-loaded (Phos) mice at a time point when the Phos group had not yet developed tubulointerstitial fibrosis. scRNA-seq analysis identified the highest number of differentially expressed genes in the clusters belonging to proximal tubular epithelial cells (PTECs). Based on these differentially expressed genes, in silico analyses suggested that the Phos group activated peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-α (PPAR-α) and fatty acid β-oxidation (FAO) in the PTECs. This activation was further substantiated through various experiments, including the use of an FAO activity visualization probe. Compared with wild-type mice, Ppara knockout mice exhibited exacerbated tubulointerstitial fibrosis in response to phosphate overload. Experiments conducted with cultured PTECs demonstrated that activation of the PPAR-α/FAO pathway leads to improved cellular viability under high-phosphate conditions. The Phos group mice showed a decreased serum concentration of free fatty acids, which are endogenous PPAR-α agonists. Instead, experiments using cultured PTECs revealed that phosphate directly activates the PPAR-α/FAO pathway. These findings indicate that noncanonical metabolic reprogramming via endogenous activation of the PPAR-α/FAO pathway in PTECs is essential to counteract phosphate toxicity.NEW & NOTEWORTHY This study revealed the activation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-α and fatty acid β-oxidation in proximal tubular epithelial cells as an endogenous mechanism to protect the kidney from phosphate toxicity. These findings highlight noncanonical metabolic reprogramming as a potential target for suppressing phosphate toxicity in the kidneys.

Abstract
Age-associated deterioration of physiological functions occur at heterogeneous rates across individual organs. A granular evaluation of systemic metabolic mediators of aging in a healthy human cohort (n = 225) identified prominent increases in circulating uremic toxins that were recapitulated in mice, on which we further characterized the aging phenome across five peripheral organs. Our multi-omics analyses connected systemic aging profiles primarily to kidney metabolism, uncovering a metabolic association between localized glucosylceramide (GluCer) accretion and renal functional decline. Elevated GluCers were also associated with higher risk of deaths in an independent cohort of aged individuals (n = 271). We report GluCer-mTOR signaling commencing at late middle-age that disrupts mitophagy and undermines mitochondrial respiration in kidney. Conserved between human and mice, GluCer-mediated renal dysfunction is female-biased and modulated by intracellular purines. Our work provides molecular basis for the sexually disparate effects of mTOR inhibition on mammalian lifespan, possibly ascribed to the evolutionary cost of female reproduction.

Abstract
Renal dysfunction can lead to insulin resistance and increase the incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The blood urea nitrogen to creatinine ratio (NCR) is a frequently used indicator to assess renal dysfunction and differentiate between prerenal and intrinsic renal injury. However, the association between NCR and T2DM in the Chinese population remains unclear. Hence, this study aimed to investigate the association between NCR and the incidence of T2DM in the Chinese population. The relationship between NCR and T2DM was examined using the Cox proportional hazards model and curve fitting techniques. In addition, a comprehensive set of sensitivity and subgroup analyses were performed. All results were presented as hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Between 2010 and 2016, 189,416 Chinese people were recruited from the Rich Healthcare Group for this retrospective cohort study. Of the participants, 3755 (19.8%) were diagnosed with T2DM during the follow-up period. After full adjustment, the Cox proportional hazards model revealed a positive connection between NCR and the incidence of T2DM (HR = 1.03, 95% CI: 1.02-1.04, P < .001). Compared with individuals with lower NCR Q1 (≤13.536), the multivariate HR for NCR and T2DM in Q2 (13.536-16.256), Q3 (16.256-19.638), Q4 (>19.638) were 1.08 (0.98-1.19), 1.16 (1.05-1.28), 1.39 (1.26-1.53). The higher NCR groups (≥20) had a higher ratio of T2DM (HR = 1.28, 95% CI: 1.18-1.38, P < .001) than the lowest NCR group (<20). These findings were validated using sensitivity and subgroup analyses. In conclusion, this study found a positive and independent association between NCR and the incidence of T2DM after adjusting for confounding variables.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has considerable effects on the quality of life of female patients. Receiving the diagnosis and beginning renal replacement therapy (RRT) has a great personal impact on patients. The purpose of this study was to describe the experience of female patients with CKD at an ambulatory dialysis unit regarding diagnosis, life changes, and initiation of RRT. A qualitative exploratory study was conducted based on a social contructivism framework. Participants were recruited using purposeful sampling. In total, 18 women who received treatment for CKD with RRT were included. The women were attending the Ambulatory Dialysis Unit at a hospital belonging to the public health system of Madrid (Spain). Unstructured and semi-structured in-depth interviews, researchers' field notes, and women's personal letters were used. A systematic text condensation analysis was performed. The criteria used to control trustworthiness were credibility, transferability, dependability, and confirmability. Two themes emerged from the data: (a) A turning point in their lives, and (b) The emotional journey of beginning RRT. The diagnosis of CKD and the beginning of treatment implies changing routines and adapting to a new life with CKD. The first dialysis and puncture of the arteriovenous fistula is a major experience. Support from other CKD patients with more experience is perceived as a necessity and a tool to share their experiences and resolve doubts among peers. The diagnosis and initiation of RRT leads to numerous changes in the lives of women with CKD, which may influence the acceptance of treatment.

Abstract
Melamine caused acute nephrotoxicity in a past food adulteration incident, but it is unclear whether and how widespread ambient exposure to melamine and related compounds might affect pediatric kidney health. We assessed cross-sectional associations between childhood exposure to melamine and its derivatives and biomarkers of kidney injury and health and explored potential heterogeneity by sex suggested by sex-dependent differences in renal physiology. We measured melamine and its derivatives ammeline, ammelide, and cyanuric acid (CYA) in spot urine samples collected from 192 children from an urban site (Seattle, WA) and 187 children from a rural site (Yakima, WA) aged 4-8 years in the Global Alliance to Prevent Prematurity and Stillbirth (GAPPS) Study. In addition, biomarkers of kidney injury were measured in the same urine samples, including albumin, total protein, KIM-1, NAG, NGAL, and EGF. We utilized linear regressions to examine associations between individual chemical exposures and kidney biomarkers. Interaction terms examined association modification by sex, as well as potential interactions between melamine and CYA. Despite comparable exposures, girls had higher levels of many kidney injury biomarkers compared to boys. A ten-fold higher melamine concentration was associated with a 18% (95% CI: 5.6%, 31%) higher EGF in the full sample, while ten-fold higher melamine was associated with a 76% (14.1%, 173%) higher KIM-1 in boys but not in girls (-10.1% (-40.6%, 36.1%), interaction p = 0.026). Melamine exhibited significant negative interactions with CYA in association with total protein and NAG that appeared to be specific to girls. Our results suggest possible associations between melamine exposure and markers of kidney injury that may be more pronounced in boys. These findings provide novel insights into melamine and related derivative compound health effects at low levels of exposure in children and emphasize the role of sex in mediating the relationship between nephrotoxicant exposure and kidney injury.

Abstract
Introduction Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major health concern in Saudi Arabia. The prevalence of CKD and associated risk factors in Saudi Arabia's general population are not efficiently studied. The goal of this research is to determine the prevalence rate of CKD in the ASIR region and its associated epidemiological risk factors. Methodology This is a cross-sectional study that used a comprehensive direct questionnaire to collect data on CKD prevalence and risk factors in the ASIR region of Saudi Arabia. The study was carried out in different age groups. Demographic characteristics, presence of CKD, and associated factors such as a history of acute kidney disease, obstructive sleep apnoea, family history, history of non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID), smoking status, comorbidities, and history of periodontal diseases were asked. The survey tool was validated through a pilot study, and a statistical p value of 0.05 was considered significant. Results A total of 967 participants were included in the study, with a CKD prevalence rate of 1.9%. Sex, history of acute kidney disease, obstructive sleep apnoea, family history of kidney disease, smoking, diabetes, peptic ulcer disease, hypertension and hyperlipidemia were commonly found to be associated with CKD. A binary logistic regression model was carried out to assess the risk factors for CKD. Sex, history of acute kidney disease, family history of kidney disease, obstructive sleep apnoea, smoking status, peptic ulcer, diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, hypertension and diabetes, two or more comorbidities and NSAID use had an increased risk of CKD. Conclusion Sex, history of acute kidney disease, obstructive sleep apnoea, family history, smoking, diabetes, hypertension, peptic ulcer, hyperlipidemia, multi-comorbidity, and use of NSAIDs are all associated with an increased risk of CKD. The prevalence of CKD in this study is comparatively lower when compared to other regions in Saudi Arabia.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Persistent findings suggest women and patients identified as "female" are less likely to receive a kidney transplant. Furthermore, the limited research on transplantation among transgender and gender diverse people suggests this population is susceptible to many of the same psychosocial and systemic barriers. OBJECTIVE This review sought to 1) highlight terminology used to elucidate gender disparities, 2) identify barriers present along the steps to transplantation, and 3) summarize contributors to gender disparities across the steps to transplantation. METHODS A systematic review of gender and sex disparities in the steps towards kidney transplantation was conducted in accordance with PRISMA guidelines across four social science and public health databases from 2005 to 23. RESULTS The search yielded 1696 initial results, 33 of which met inclusion criteria. A majority of studies followed a retrospective cohort design (n = 22, 66.7%), inconsistently used gender and sex related terminology (n = 21, 63.6%), and reported significant findings for gender and sex disparities within the steps towards transplantation (n = 28, 84.8%). Gender disparities among the earlier steps were characterized by patient-provider communication and perception of medical suitability whereas disparities in the later steps were characterized by differential outcomes based on older age, an above average BMI, and Black racial identity. Findings for transgender patients pointed to issues computing eGFR and the need for culturally tailored care. DISCUSSION Providers should be encouraged to critically examine the diagnostic criteria used to determine transplant eligibility and adopt practices that can be culturally tailored to meet the needs of patients.

Addressing the existing gaps in our understanding of sex- and strain-dependent disparities in renal microhemodynamics, this study conducted an investigation into the variations in renal function and related biological oscillators. Using the genetically diverse mouse models BALB/c, C57BL/6, and Kunming, which serve as established proxies for the study of renal pathophysiology, we implemented laser Doppler flowmetry conjoined with wavelet transform analyses to interrogate dynamic renal microcirculation. Creatinine, urea, uric acid, glucose, and cystatin C levels were quantified to investigate potential divergences attributable to sex and genetic lineage. Our findings reveal marked sexual dimorphism in metabolite concentrations, as well as strain-specific variances, particularly in creatinine and cystatin C levels. Through the combination of Mantel tests and Pearson correlation coefficients, we delineated the associations between renal functional metrics and microhemodynamics, uncovering interactions in female BALB/c mice for creatinine and uric acid, and in male C57BL/6 mice for cystatin C. Histopathologic examination confirmed an augmented microvascular density in female mice and elucidating variations in the expression of estrogen receptor β among the strains. These data collectively highlight the influence of both sex and genetic constitution on renal microcirculation, providing an understanding that may inform the etiologic exploration of renal ailments.

Cardiorenal outcomes and mortality after sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor initiation in type 2 diabetes patients with percutaneous coronary intervention history. Diabetes Obes Metab 2024; 26:2567-2577. [PMID: 38644477 DOI: 10.1111/dom.15565] [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: 02/22/2024] [Revised: 03/05/2024] [Accepted: 03/05/2024] [Indexed: 04/23/2024]
Abstract
AIMS To evaluate the effects of initiating sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors on cardiorenal outcomes and mortality compared to dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors as active comparators in patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes with a history of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). MATERIALS AND METHODS We used an active-comparator, new-user design and nationwide data from the National Health Insurance Service in South Korea from 2014 to 2019. Of the 56 392 patients who underwent PCI, 4610 new SGLT2 inhibitor users were paired 1:1 with DPP-4 inhibitor users for analysis using propensity-score matching. RESULTS During 13 708.59 person-years of follow-up, the initiation of SGLT2 inhibitors, compared with the initiation of DPP-4 inhibitors, was associated with a significantly lower risk of composite repeat revascularization, myocardial infarction, stroke, heart failure (HF), all-cause death and end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The beneficial effects of SGLT2 inhibitor use were consistent with the components of stroke, HF, all-cause death and ESRD. In the cohort that included health examination data, including anthropometric and metabolic factors, new use of SGLT2 inhibitors was associated with a significantly lower risk of HF (hazard ratio [HR] 0.574, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.36-0.915), all-cause death (HR 0.731, 95% CI 0.567-0.942), and ESRD (HR 0.076, 95% CI 0.018-0.319). The effects of SGLT2 inhibitor use were consistent regardless of the timing of the previous PCI. CONCLUSIONS The initiation of SGLT2 inhibitors in patients with type 2 diabetes and a history of PCI was significantly associated with a reduced risk of cardiorenal consequences and mortality, irrespective of time since the last PCI.

Abstract
Frailty occurs frequently among patients with advanced chronic kidney disease, especially among women. Assessing frailty in kidney transplant (KT) candidates is crucial for informing them about associated risks. However, there is poor agreement between frailty scales and research on their correlation with transplant outcomes. Being prefrail significantly impacts both graft and patient survival, often beginning with just 1 Fried criterion. Rather than viewing frailty as a categorical state, it should be regarded as a spectrum ranging from 1 to 5 criteria, with the risk of adverse outcomes escalating as frailty worsens. Frailty status fluctuates during the waiting period for KT; hence, a 1-time frailty evaluation is insufficient to determine risks and implement strategies for improving functional status. Further research should investigate the components of frailty that most frequently change during this waiting period and establish strategies to prevent or reverse frailty. Although careful evaluation of frail KT candidates is necessary to prevent early complications and mortality, exclusion based solely on a frailty score is unwarranted. Instead, efforts should focus on timely interventions to enhance their condition before transplantation. Although evidence is limited, exercise programs appear feasible and yield positive results. A pretransplant clinical framework encompassing multimodal prehabilitation-comprising physical therapy, nutritional measures, and psychological support-during the waiting list period may help alleviate the effects of frailty and poor fitness after KT, ultimately improving key outcomes. Despite logistical challenges, there is a pressing need for interventional trials in this area.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Epidemiological evidence emphasizes air pollutants' role in chronic kidney disease (CKD). Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) contribute to air pollution, yet research on VOCs and kidney damage, especially gender disparities, is limited. METHODS This study analyzed NHANES data to explore associations between urinary VOC metabolite mixtures (VOCMs) and key kidney-related parameters: estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR), chronic kidney disease (CKD), and albuminuria. Mediation analyses assessed the potential mediating roles of biological aging (BA) and serum albumin in VOCM mixtures' effects on kidney damage. Sensitivity analyses were also conducted. RESULTS The mixture analysis unveiled a noteworthy positive association between VOCM mixtures and the risk of developing CKD, coupled with a significant negative correlation with eGFR within the overall participant cohort. These findings remained consistent when examining the female subgroup. However, among male participants, no significant link emerged between VOCM mixtures and CKD or eGFR. Furthermore, in both the overall and female participant groups, there was an absence of a significant correlation between VOCM mixtures and either ACR or albuminuria. On the other hand, in male participants, while no significant correlation was detected with albuminuria, a significant positive correlation was observed with ACR. Pollutant analysis identified potential links between kidney damage and 1,3-butadiene, toluene, ethylbenzene, styrene, xylene, acrolein, crotonaldehyde and propylene oxide. Mediation analyses suggested that BA might partially mediate the relationship between VOCM mixtures and kidney damage. CONCLUSION The current findings highlight the widespread exposure to VOCs among the general U.S. adult population and indicate a potential correlation between exposure to VOC mixtures and compromised renal function parameters, with notable gender disparities. Females appear to exhibit greater sensitivity to impaired renal function resulting from VOCs exposure. Anti-aging treatments may offer some mitigation against kidney damage due to VOCs exposure.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with an increased incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF). Also, patients with AF are prone to adverse kidney outcomes. We examined comorbidities and medication use in patients with CKD and incident AF. METHODS The Finnish AntiCoagulation in Atrial Fibrillation (FinACAF) is a nationwide retrospective register-linkage study including data from 168,233 patients with incident AF from 2007 to 2018, with laboratory data from 2010 onwards. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was available for 124,936 patients. The cohort was divided into 5 CKD stages with separate groups for dialysis and kidney transplantation. RESULTS At AF diagnosis eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 was found in 27%, while 318 (0.3%) patients were on dialysis, and 188 (0.2%) had a functioning kidney transplant. Lowering eGFR yielded more comorbidities and medications. During 2010-2018 in patients with eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 prevalence of hypertension, dyslipidaemia, and diabetes increased from 82 to 88%, from 50 to 66% and from 25 to 33%, respectively (<0.001). Throughout the observation period, lipid-lowering medication was underused. CONCLUSION More than one-fourth of patients with incident AF also had CKD stage 3-5 (eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m2). Both comorbidities and medication use increased with worsening kidney function. Prevalence of major cardiovascular (CV) risk factors increased during 2010-2018, but the use of survival-affecting medications, such as lipid-lowering medication, was suboptimal at all stages of CKD. More attention should be given to the optimal treatment of risk factors in this high CV risk population.

NAUNYN-SCHMIEDEBERG'S ARCHIVES OF PHARMACOLOGY 2024:10.1007/s00210-024-03190-9.

Abstract
Due to the inevitable differences in physiological and/or genetic factors between genders, the possibility that differences in pharmacokinetics between genders may occur when exposed to the same dose of the same drug is subject to reasonable inference and suspicion. Nevertheless, a significant number of medicines still rely on empirical usage and uniform clinical application without consideration of inter-individual diversity factors. In particular, in the pharmacokinetic diversity of medicines related to central nervous system (CNS) activity, consideration of gender factors and access to comparative analysis are very limited. The purpose of this study was to conduct an integrated analysis and review of differences in pharmacokinetics between genders that have not been specifically reported to date for medicines related to CNS effects, which are a group of drugs with relatively significant concerns about systemic side effects. This study was accessible through extensive data collection and analyzes using a web-based scientific literature search engine of pharmacokinetic results of CNS-related drugs performed on humans, taking gender into account. As a result, significant differences in pharmacokinetics between genders were identified for many drugs related to CNS. And most of the pharmacokinetic differences between genders suggested a higher in vivo exposure in females. This study suggests that consideration of gender factors cannot be ignored and will be an important point of interest in the precision medicine application of CNS-related medicines.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevalence and mortality rate of chronic kidney disease (CKD) are increasing year by year, and it has become a global public health issue. The economic burden caused by CKD is increasing at a rate of 1% per year. CKD is highly prevalent and its treatment cost is high but unfortunately remains unknown. Therefore, early detection and intervention are vital means to mitigate the treatment burden on patients and decrease disease progression. OBJECTIVE In this study, we investigated the advantages of using the random forest (RF) algorithm for assessing risk factors associated with CKD. METHODS We included 40,686 people with complete screening records who underwent screening between January 1, 2015, and December 22, 2020, in Jing'an District, Shanghai, China. We grouped the participants into those with and those without CKD by staging based on the glomerular filtration rate staging and grouping based on albuminuria. Using a logistic regression model, we determined the relationship between CKD and risk factors. The RF machine learning algorithm was used to score the predictive variables and rank them based on their importance to construct a prediction model. RESULTS The logistic regression model revealed that gender, older age, obesity, abnormal index estimated glomerular filtration rate, retirement status, and participation in urban employee medical insurance were significantly associated with the risk of CKD. On RF algorithm-based screening, the top 4 factors influencing CKD were age, albuminuria, working status, and urinary albumin-creatinine ratio. The RF model predicted an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 93.15%. CONCLUSIONS Our findings reveal that the RF algorithm has significant predictive value for assessing risk factors associated with CKD and allows the screening of individuals with risk factors. This has crucial implications for early intervention and prevention of CKD.

Abstract
Introduction Renal failure, comprising acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD), involves a decline or loss of kidney function. AKI is sudden and reversible, with a rapid decline in function over hours to days, while CKD involves persistent abnormalities lasting at least three months. Developing countries are seeing a rise in AKI cases, especially in critically ill patients. Globally, there's a growing occurrence and mortality rate linked to CKD. Methods The study used a retrospective cross-sectional design to analyze AKI and CKD mortality rates in Brazil from 2019 to 2022. Data on population and demographics, including sex and age, were obtained from the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics. Mortality data for kidney diseases were sourced from the Brazilian Hospital Information System. The analysis utilized the Joinpoint Regression Program to calculate average annual percentage changes (AAPCs) and their respective 95% confidence intervals. Weighted Bayesian information criterion was used to determine the significance levels and identify the best-fitting combination of line segments and joinpoints. Results The study findings revealed a significant rise in AKI mortality rates for both males and females, from 2008 to 2021 (APC = 3.16; CI: 2.29 to 5.93), with higher mortality rates recorded among males compared to women over the entire study period. Analyses according to age groups showed that males between the ages 40 to 49 experienced the most rapid increase in mortality during the 2019 - 2021 period (APC = 35.41; CI: 16.72 to 46.57); meanwhile, the most rapid increase in mortality for females was observed from 2019 to 2021, and this was among those aged 30 to 39 (APC = 40.33; CI = 6.48 to 59.78). Furthermore, there was an observable upward trend in mortality related to CKD (APC = 0.70; CI: 0.41 to 1.01), with males consistently having higher mortality rates throughout the entire study period. The elderly population, both males and females, experienced the most rapid increase in CKD-related mortality, with AAPC values of 2.32 (CI: 1.82 to 2.89) for males and 1.62 (CI: 1.08 to 2.10) for females. Conclusion We observed a consistent increase in mortality rates from acute kidney diseases for both males and females since 2008, with males experiencing higher mortality rates overall. The study highlighted the need for further research to understand the underlying factors contributing to these trends. Additionally, interventions targeting modifiable risk factors and improving access to healthcare could help reduce mortality related to renal failure.

Abstract
Key Points More patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease received their first intervention to re-establish vascular access patency. Patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease do not require differential monitoring and treatment of hemodialysis vascular access. Background Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a leading hereditary cause of ESKD, often using hemodialysis as a form of RRT. Patients with ADPKD may also present with extrarenal manifestations, including arterial aneurysms. The gold standard for hemodialysis access is an arteriovenous vascular access (VA), such as arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) or arteriovenous grafts (AVGs). However, limitations, such as low VA flow and inadequate AVF outward remodeling, affect VA utilization. This study aimed to explore whether ADPKD affects patency rates of AVFs/AVGs in comparison with other underlying ESKD causes. Methods We conducted a retrospective cohort study using data from the Swedish Renal Registry from 2011 to 2020, with follow-up until 2022. We included 496 patients with ADPKD and 4321 propensity score–matched controls. VA patency rates of patients with ADPKD were compared with those of non-ADPKD patients using Kaplan–Meier survival curves and Mantel–Cox log-rank test. Interventions to maintain or restore patency were also analyzed. Results Patients with ADPKD constituted 8.0% of all patients, with a higher proportion in the pre-ESKD phase during VA creation (51.6% versus 40.6%). No significant differences were observed in primary, postcannulation primary, secondary, or functional patency between patients with ADPKD and non-ADPKD patients. However, more VAs were ligated in patients with ADPKD (10.5% versus 7.7%, P = 0.03), and they underwent more first interventions to re-establish flow (49.4% versus 41.9%, P = 0.02). Conclusions These findings suggest that AVF/AVG patency remains comparable in patients with ESKD with or without ADPKD, and VA monitoring and treatment strategies for patients with ADPKD should align with those for individuals with other ESKD causes.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) presents a formidable global health concern, affecting one in six adults over 25. This review explores the potential of phenolic compounds in managing CKD and its complications. By examining the existing research, we highlight their diverse biological activities and potential to combat CKD-related issues. We analyze the nutritional benefits, bioavailability, and safety profile of these compounds. While the clinical evidence is promising, preclinical studies offer valuable insights into underlying mechanisms, optimal dosages, and potential side effects. Further research is crucial to validate the therapeutic efficacy of phenolic compounds for CKD. We advocate for continued exploration of their innovative applications in food, pharmaceuticals, and nutraceuticals. This review aims to catalyze the scientific community's efforts to leverage phenolic compounds against CKD-related challenges.

Data mining of reference intervals for serum creatinine: an improvement in glomerular filtration rate estimating equations based on Q-values. Clin Chem Lab Med 2024; 62:1138-1148. [PMID: 38205974 DOI: 10.1515/cclm-2023-1421] [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: 12/11/2023] [Accepted: 01/02/2024] [Indexed: 01/12/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) estimating equations based on rescaled serum creatinine (SCr/Q) have shown better performance, where Q represents the median SCr for age- and sex-specific healthy populations. However, there remains a scarcity of investigations in China to determine this value. We aimed to develop Chinese age- and sex-specific reference intervals (RIs) and Q-values for SCr and to validate the equations incorporating new Q-values. METHODS We included 117,345 adults from five centers for establishing RIs and Q-values, and 3,692 participants with reference GFR (rGFR, 99mTc-DTPA renal dynamic imaging measurement) for validation. Appropriate age partitioning was determined using the decision tree method. Lower and upper reference limits and medians were calculated using the refineR algorithm, and Q-values were determined accordingly. We evaluated the full age spectrum (FAS) and European Kidney Function Consortium (EKFC) equations incorporating different Q-values considering bias, precision (interquartile range, IQR), and accuracy (percentage of estimates within ±20 % [P20] and ±30 % [P30] of rGFR). RESULTS RIs for males were: 18-79 years, 55.53-92.50 μmol/L; ≥80 years, 54.41-96.43 μmol/L. RIs for females were: 18-59 years, 40.42-69.73 μmol/L; 60-79 years, 41.16-73.69 μmol/L; ≥80 years, 46.50-73.20 μmol/L. Q-values were set at 73.82 μmol/L (0.84 mg/dL) for males and 53.80 μmol/L (0.61 mg/dL) for females. After validation, we found that the adjusted equations exhibit less bias, improved precision and accuracy, and increased agreement of GFR categories. CONCLUSIONS We determined Chinese age- and sex-specific RIs and Q-values for SCr. The adjustable Q-values provide an effective alternative to obtain valid equations for estimating GFR.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study was conducted to determine the relationship between non-compliance with dietary and fluid restriction, body mass index, and the severity of fatigue in dialysis patients. METHOD A descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted on 42 dialysis patients. The data were collected employing a "General Information Form", Body Mass Index, "Fatigue Severity Scale", and "Dialysis Diet and Fluid Non-Adherence Questionnaire.". Data were evaluated using percentages, averages, one-way ANOVA, T-tests, and Pearson correlation tests. RESULTS The average number of days when the patients did not comply with their diet was 3.69 ± 4.85, and the average number of days when they did not comply with fluid restriction was 2.71 ± 5.02. The age and marital status of the patients were found to affect the fatigue severity. It was found that the cases were associated with creatinine and calcium values and the number of days they did not comply with fluid restriction. CONCLUSION It was determined that there was no significant relationship between non-compliance with diet and fluid restriction and the severity of fatigue. It was found that the severity of fatigue was lower in patients who complied with diet and fluid restriction, although not significantly lower than in those who did not comply.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a common postoperative complication in patients who undergo radical nephrectomy for renal tumours. However, the factors influencing long-term renal function require further investigation. OBJECTIVE This study was designed to investigate the trends in renal function changes and risk factors for renal function deterioration in renal tumour patients after radical nephrectomy. METHODS We monitored changes in renal function before and after surgery for 3 years. The progression of renal function was determined by the progression and degradation of CKD stages. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to analyse the causes of renal function progression. RESULTS We analysed the data of 329 patients with renal tumours who underwent radical nephrectomies between January 2013 and December 2018. In this study, 43.7% of patients had postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI), and 48.3% had CKD at advanced stages. Further research revealed that patients' renal function stabilized 3 months after surgery. Additionally, renal function changes during these 3 months have a substantial impact on the progression of long-term renal function changes in patients. CONCLUSION AKI may be an indicator of short-term postoperative changes in renal function. Renal function tests should be performed in patients with AKI after radical nephrectomy to monitor the progression of functional impairment, particularly within the first 3 months after radical nephrectomy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sex disparities exist in cardiometabolic diseases. Metabolomic profiling offers insight into disease mechanisms, as the metabolome is influenced by environmental and genetic factors. We identified metabolites associated with sex and determined if sex-associated metabolites are associated with incident stoke, incident coronary heart disease, prevalent hypertension, and prevalent chronic kidney disease. METHODS AND RESULTS Targeted metabolomics was conducted for 357 metabolites in the REGARDS (Reasons for Geographic and Racial Differences in Stroke) case-cohort substudy for incident stroke. Weighted logistic regression models were used to identify metabolites associated with sex in REGARDS. Sex-associated metabolites were replicated in the HyperGEN (Hypertension Genetic Epidemiology Network) and using the literature. Weighted Cox proportional hazard models were used to evaluate associations between metabolites and incident stroke. Cox proportional hazard models were used to evaluate associations between metabolites and incident coronary heart disease. Weighted logistic regression models were used to evaluate associations between metabolites and hypertension and chronic kidney disease. Fifty-one replicated metabolites were associated with sex. Higher levels of 6 phosphatidylethanolamines were associated with incident stroke. No metabolites were associated with incident coronary heart disease. Higher levels of uric acid and leucine and lower levels of a lysophosphatidylcholine were associated with hypertension. Higher levels of indole-3-lactic acid, 7 phosphatidylethanolamines, and uric acid, and lower levels of betaine and bilirubin were associated with chronic kidney disease. CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest that the sexual dimorphism of the metabolome may contribute to sex differences in stroke, hypertension, and chronic kidney disease.

Abstract
Obesity is a heterogeneous condition which results from complex interactions among sex/gender, sociocultural, environmental, and biological factors. Obesity is more prevalent in women in most developed countries, and several clinical and psychological obesity complications show sex-specific patterns. Females differ regarding fat distribution, with males tending to store more visceral fat, which is highly correlated to increased cardiovascular risk. Although women are more likely to be diagnosed with obesity and appear more motivated to lose weight, as confirmed by their greater representation in clinical trials, males show better outcomes in terms of body weight and intra-abdominal fat loss and improvements in the metabolic risk profile. However, only a few relatively recent studies have investigated gender differences in obesity, and sex/gender is rarely considered in the assessment and management of the disease. This review summarizes the evidence of gender differences in obesity prevalence, contributing factors, clinical complications, and psychological challenges. In addition, we explored gender differences in response to obesity treatments in the specific context of new anti-obesity drugs.

Abstract
Understanding the molecular mechanisms of aging is crucial for enhancing healthy longevity. We conducted untargeted lipidomics across 13 biological samples from mice at various life stages (2, 12, 19 and 24 months) to explore the potential link between aging and lipid metabolism, considering sex (male or female) and microbiome (specific pathogen-free or germ-free) dependencies. By analyzing 2,704 molecules from 109 lipid subclasses, we characterized common and tissue-specific lipidome alterations associated with aging. For example, the levels of bis(monoacylglycero)phosphate containing polyunsaturated fatty acids increased in various organs during aging, whereas the levels of other phospholipids containing saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids decreased. In addition, we discovered age-dependent sulfonolipid accumulation, absent in germ-free mice, correlating with Alistipes abundance determined by 16S ribosomal RNA gene amplicon sequencing. In the male kidney, glycolipids such as galactosylceramides, galabiosylceramides (Gal2Cer), trihexosylceramides (Hex3Cer), and mono- and digalactosyldiacylglycerols were detected, with two lipid classes-Gal2Cer and Hex3Cer-being significantly enriched in aged mice. Integrated analysis of the kidney transcriptome revealed uridine diphosphate galactosyltransferase 8A (UGT8a), alkylglycerone phosphate synthase and fatty acyl-coenzyme A reductase 1 as potential enzymes responsible for the male-specific glycolipid biosynthesis in vivo, which would be relevant to sex dependency in kidney diseases. Inhibiting UGT8 reduced the levels of these glycolipids and the expression of inflammatory cytokines in the kidney. Our study provides a valuable resource for clarifying potential links between lipid metabolism and aging.

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2024; 31:30779-30792.

Abstract
Individual typical endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), including organophosphate triesters (OPEs), parabens, triclosan (TCS), bisphenols, benzophenones (BPs), phthalates (PAEs), and synthetic phenolic antioxidants (SPAs), are associated with renal dysfunction. However, the combined effects and underlying mechanisms of mixed EDC exposure on renal function remain unclear. Two hundred ninety-nine adult participants were enrolled in the cross-sectional survey conducted in Guangzhou, China. Urinary levels of 7 OPEs, 6 parabens, TCS, 14 bisphenols, 8 BPs, 15 PAEs, 4 SPAs, and 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) were determined, and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was served as the outcome index. We found elevated levels of diphenyl phosphate (DPP), bisphenol A (BPA), mono-(2-ethyl-5-hydroxyhexyl) phthalate (MEHHP), and mono-butyl phthalate (MBP) showed dose-responsive associations with eGFR decline, However, nonlinear associations were observed for bis(2-butoxyethyl) hydrogen phosphate (BBOEP), TCS, 4-hydroxybenzophenone (HBP), mono-n-pentyl phthalate (MnPP), and mono-benzyl phthalate (MBzP). The quantile-based g-computation model demonstrated that a quartile increase in the EDC mixture corresponded to a 0.383-SD decrease (95% CI - 0.658 ~ - 0.108, P = 0.007) in eGFR. Notably, BPA was identified as the primary contributor to this effect. Moreover, 8-OHdG mediated the eGFR decline associated with EDC mixtures with a mediation proportion of 25.49%. A sex-modified effect was also observed (P = 0.004), indicating that exposure to the mixture of EDC was linked to more pronounced renal dysfunction in females. Our novel findings suggest that exposure to a typical mixture of EDCs is associated with renal dysfunction in the general adult population of Southern China. Furthermore, 8-OHdG may play a role in the pathogenesis of EDC mixture-related renal dysfunction.

Cao Y, Zhou Y, Zhong Y, Liao X, Chen X, Pi Y. Association between oxidative balance score in adults with and without chronic kidney disease: 2011-2028 NHANES. Front Nutr 2024; 11:1374719. [PMID: 38725577 PMCID: PMC11080983 DOI: 10.3389/fnut.2024.1374719] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/22/2024] [Accepted: 04/05/2024] [Indexed: 05/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Introduction Oxidative stress status is associated with CKD; however, few studies have investigated this association. The oxidative balance score (OBS) reflects systemic stress status and consists of 16 anti-and pro-oxidant dietary factors and four anti-and pro-oxidant lifestyle factors. Higher OBS implies exposure to more antioxidants. The purpose of this study was to explore the association between OBS and CKD. Methods We enrolled 8,134 study participants from the 2011-2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey and obtained OBS by adding the 20 dietary and lifestyle factors. Based on OBS, the participants were divided into three groups. We performed logistic regression, subgroup analyzes, and restricted cubic spline regression to explore the association between OBS and CKD. In addition, we tested the adjusted model. Results OBS was negatively associated with CKD (OR: 0.54; 0.66, 0.82). After adjusting for all confounders, when dietary OBS was >20, the prevalence of CKD was reduced by 42% for each unit increase in OBS (p < 0.05). The negative associations of total OBS, dietary OBS, and lifestyle OBS with CKD were more significant in the female group. When the total OBS was ~20, the trend of decreasing prevalence in the female group was more significant. Conclusion OBS is negatively associated with chronic kidney disease.

Associations between long-term exposure to air pollution and kidney function utilizing electronic healthcare records: a cross-sectional study. Environ Health 2024; 23:43. [PMID: 38654228 PMCID: PMC11036746 DOI: 10.1186/s12940-024-01080-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/13/2023] [Accepted: 04/05/2024] [Indexed: 04/25/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects more than 38 million people in the United States, predominantly those over 65 years of age. While CKD etiology is complex, recent research suggests associations with environmental exposures. METHODS Our primary objective is to examine creatinine-based estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFRcr) and diagnosis of CKD and potential associations with fine particulate matter (PM2.5), ozone (O3), and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) using a random sample of North Carolina electronic healthcare records (EHRs) from 2004 to 2016. We estimated eGFRcr using the serum creatinine-based 2021 CKD-EPI equation. PM2.5 and NO2 data come from a hybrid model using 1 km2 grids and O3 data from 12 km2 CMAQ grids. Exposure concentrations were 1-year averages. We used linear mixed models to estimate eGFRcr per IQR increase of pollutants. We used multiple logistic regression to estimate associations between pollutants and first appearance of CKD. We adjusted for patient sex, race, age, comorbidities, temporality, and 2010 census block group variables. RESULTS We found 44,872 serum creatinine measurements among 7,722 patients. An IQR increase in PM2.5 was associated with a 1.63 mL/min/1.73m2 (95% CI: -1.96, -1.31) reduction in eGFRcr, with O3 and NO2 showing positive associations. There were 1,015 patients identified with CKD through e-phenotyping and ICD codes. None of the environmental exposures were positively associated with a first-time measure of eGFRcr < 60 mL/min/1.73m2. NO2 was inversely associated with a first-time diagnosis of CKD with aOR of 0.77 (95% CI: 0.66, 0.90). CONCLUSIONS One-year average PM2.5 was associated with reduced eGFRcr, while O3 and NO2 were inversely associated. Neither PM2.5 or O3 were associated with a first-time identification of CKD, NO2 was inversely associated. We recommend future research examining the relationship between air pollution and impaired renal function.

Abstract
Kidney transplantation provides the best form of kidney replacement therapy with improvement in quality of life and longevity. However, disparity exists in its availability, utilisation and outcomes, not only due to donor availability or financial constraints but also arising from the influence of biological sex and its sociocultural attribute i.e., Gender. Women make up the majority of kidney donors but are less likely to be counselled regarding transpantation, be waitlisted or receive living/deceased donor kidney. Biological differences also contribute to differences in kidney transplantation among the sexes. Women are more likely to be sensitised owing to pregnancy, especially in multiparous individuals, complicating donor compatibility. A heightened immune system in women, evidenced by more autoimmune illnesses, increases the risk of allograft rejection and loss. Differences in the pharmacokinetics of transplant drugs owing to biological variances could also contribute to variability in outcomes. Transgender medicine is also increasingly becoming a relevant topic of study, providing greater challenges in the form of hormonal manipulations and anatomic changes. It is thus important to determine and study transplantation and its nuances in this backdrop to be able to provide relevant sex and gender-specific interventions and design better practices for optimum kidney transplant utilisation and outcomes.

Abstract
C57BL/6 mice are frequently utilized as murine models with the desired genetic background for altertion in multiple research contexts. So far, there is still a lack of comprehensive kidney morphology and single-cell transcriptome atlas at all stages of growth of C57BL/6 mice. To provide an interactive set of reference standards for the scientific community, we performed the current study to investigate the kidney's development throughout the capillary-loop stage until senescence. Eight groups, with five to six mice each, represented embryonic stage (embryos 18.5 days), suckling period (1 day after birth), juvenile stage (1 month old), adulthood (containing 3 months old, 6 months old and 10 months old), reproductive senescence stage (20 months old), and post-senescence stage (30 months old), respectively. With age, the thickness of the glomerular basement membrane (GBM) was increased. Notably, GBM knobs appeared at three months and became frequent with age. Using single-cell transcriptome data, we evaluated how various biological process appear in particular cell types and investigated the potential mechanism of formation of GBM konbs. In conclusion, having access to detailed kidney morphology and single-cell transcriptome maps from C57BL/6 mice at various developmental stages of C57BL/6 mice would be a novel and major resource for biological research and testing of prospective therapeutic approaches.

Abstract
Background: The global prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is increasing, with diabetes accounting for the highest proportion. We analyzed the influence of clinical factors on the incidence of CKD according to the renal function, primary focusing on patients with diabetes. Methods: We used the Sample Cohorts Database provided by the National Health Insurance Sharing Service (NHISS) in Korea. Participants aged ≥ 40 years who underwent a health checkup in 2009 were categorized into six groups based on their eGFR values (<60 mL/min, 60-89 mL/min, ≥90 mL/min) and the presence of diabetes. And all patients with CKD at 2009 screening were excluded. The participants were tracked from 2010 to 31 December 2019. The CKD incidence rate according to the eGFR values and the effect of the accompanying factors on CKD incidence were confirmed. Results: 148,089 people without CKD were analyzed. The CKD incidence rate was highest in those with eGFR < 60 mL/min with diabetes and lowest in those with eGFR ≥ 90 mL/min without diabetes. The CKD incidence rates were similar between the eGFR < 60 mL/min group without diabetes and the eGFR 60-89 mL/min group with diabetes. Compared to under 44 years of age, the hazard ratio of CKD incidence was 8 times higher in over 75 years of age. Men had a 1.7-fold higher risk of developing CKD than women. Current smoker, hypertension, dyslipidemia, myocardial infarction history, and atrial fibrillation and flutter increased the risk of CKD incidence. Age, diabetes, and baseline eGFR are important factors in the occurrence of CKD. As age increases, the risk of developing CKD in men increases compared to women. Conclusions: These results will be helpful in predicting risk groups for CKD and establishing strategies to lowering CKD incidence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND High-potassium intake is associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular disease. However, the association between potassium intake and the development of chronic kidney disease (CKD) remains unclear. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to investigate whether potassium intake is associated with outcomes of incident CKD. METHODS This is a population-based prospective observational cohort study from the UK Biobank cohort between 2006 and 2010. We included 317,162 participants without CKD from the UK Biobank cohort. The main predictor was spot urine potassium-to-creatinine ratio (KCR). The primary outcome was incident CKD, which was defined by the International Classification of Disease 10 codes or Operating Procedure Codes Supplement 4 codes. RESULTS At baseline, individuals with higher KCR had lower blood pressure, body mass index, and inflammation, and were less likely to have diabetes and hypertension. During a median follow-up of 11.9 y, primary outcome events occurred in 15,246 (4.8%) participants. In the cause-specific model, the adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) per 1-standard deviation increase in KCR for incident CKD was 0.90 [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.89, 0.92]. Compared with quartile 1 of KCR, the aHRs (95% CIs) for quartiles 2-4 were 0.98 (0.94, 1.02), 0.90 (0.86, 0.95), and 0.80 (0.76, 0.84), respectively. In sensitivity analysis with different definitions of CKD, the results were similar. In addition, further analysis with dietary potassium intake also showed a negatively graded association with the primary outcome. CONCLUSIONS Higher urinary potassium excretion and intake were associated with a lower risk of incident CKD.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is one of the kidney replacement therapies (KRT). Patients' choice of KRT is influenced by personal causes, familial factors, factors related to healthcare professionals, and social factors. METHODS This study included 341 patients. PD patients who changed their KRT selection were asked for the reasons to change with a questionnaire. RESULTS Of the patients who initially chose PD, only 48.5% received KRT by PD. Five (20%) of the patients gave up PD compulsorily because they heard that the risk of infection with PD was higher, eight (40%) thought they could not do it, four (20%) because they needed to do assisted PD but had no relatives to do it, and three (15%) because they had abdominal surgery. CONCLUSION We believe that the fact that KRT training is carried out by a PD trained team and that patients are provided with assistance for PD will be effective in addressing the concerns of patients with PD undecided.

Abstract
Racial/ethnic and gender disparities in living donor kidney transplantation are large and persistent but incompletely explained. One previously unexplored potential contributor to these disparities is differential willingness to donate to recipients in specific relationships such as children, parents, and friends. We collected and analyzed data from an online sample featuring an experimental vignette in which respondents were asked to rate their willingness to donate to a randomly chosen member of their family or social network. Results show very large differences in respondents' willingness to donate to recipients with different relationships to them, favoring children, spouses/partners, siblings, and parents, and disfavoring friends, aunts/uncles, and coworkers. Evidence suggesting an interactive effect between relationship, respondent race/ethnicity, respondent or recipient gender, was limited to a few cases. At the p < 0.05 level, the parent-recipient gender interaction was statistically significant, favoring mothers over fathers, as was other/multiracial respondents' greater willingness to donate to friends compared to Whites. Additionally, other interactions were significant at the p < 0.10 level, such as Hispanics' and women's higher willingness to donate to parents compared to Whites and men respectively, women's lower willingness to donate to friends compared to men, and Blacks' greater willingness to donate to coworkers than Whites. We also examined differences by age and found that older respondents were less willing to donate to recipients other than their parents. Together these results suggest that differential willingness to donate by relationship group may be a moderately important factor in understanding racial/ethnic and gender disparities in living donor kidney transplantation.

Abstract
PURPOSE The causal relationship between the incidence and prognosis of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and serum testosterone levels in patients is not yet fully understood. This study aims to use the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), a large-scale nationally representative sample, to investigate the relationship between CKD and testosterone. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study included six NHANES cycles for linear regression analysis, verified by multiple imputation methods. Stratified analysis and subgroup analysis were used to demonstrate the stability of CKD's effect on testosterone. Furthermore, we used Kaplan-Meier plots and log-rank tests to evaluate differences in survival rates between CKD male patients with low and normal levels of testosterone. RESULTS From a total of 71,163 subjects, the cohort selected 28,663 eligible participants. Results showed that CKD patients had testosterone levels 28.423 ng/mL (24.762, 32.083) lower than non-CKD patients. The results of multiple imputations (β=27.700, 95% confidence interval: 23.427, 31.974) were consistent with those of linear regression analysis, and the numerical match was good. Stratified regression analysis, and subgroup analysis results showed that CKD had a significant impact on testosterone at different dimensions. Kaplan-Meier plots showed significantly reduced survival rates in low testosterone CKD male patients (p<0.0001). CONCLUSIONS The results of this big data analysis suggest that there may be a two-way risk between low levels of testosterone and CKD. The testosterone levels of CKD patients were significantly lower than those of the non-CKD population, and CKD patients with low testosterone levels had poorer prognoses. These results suggest that correcting testosterone levels in a timely manner can have preventive and therapeutic effects on the progression of CKD.

[PMID: 38527395 DOI: 10.1016/j.clnu.2024.03.005] [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: 10/11/2023] [Revised: 02/19/2024] [Accepted: 03/07/2024] [Indexed: 03/27/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Sex differences exist in the prevalence of microvascular disease (MVD) and healthy-lifestyle adherence. Whether MVD and healthy lifestyles are associated with mortality risk similarly for women and men who have type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) remains unknown. METHODS The present study included 9992 women and 15,860 men with T2DM from the UK Biobank. MVDs included retinopathy, peripheral neuropathy, and chronic kidney disease. Healthy lifestyle factors consisted of ideal BMI, nonsmoking, healthy diet, regular exercise, and appropriate sleep duration. Sex-specific hazard ratios (HRs) of mortality associated with the MVDs or healthy lifestyles were calculated and women-to-men ratio of HRs (RHR) were further estimated, after multivariable adjustment for potential confounders. RESULTS During a median of 12.7 years of follow-up, 4346 (1202 in women) all-cause and 1207 (254 in women) CVD deaths were recorded. The adjusted HRs (95% CI) of all-cause mortality for 1 additional increment of the MVDs were 1.71 (1.55, 1.88) for women and 1.48 (1.39, 1.57) for men, with an RHR of 1.16 (1.03, 1.30). The corresponding RHR was 1.36 (1.09, 1.69) for cardiovascular mortality. Adhering to a healthy lifestyle (≥4 vs. ≤1 lifestyle factor) was associated with an approximately 60%-70% lower risk of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality without sex differences (P-interaction >0.70). Furthermore, as compared with having no MVD and an unfavorable lifestyle, having ≥2 MVDs but a favorable lifestyle was not associated with a higher risk of all-cause mortality either in women (HR = 0.88; 95% CI: 0.49, 1.60) or in men (HR = 0.95; 95% CI: 0.64, 1.40), similarly when considering cardiovascular mortality. CONCLUSIONS In T2DM, while MVDs are more strongly associated with mortality risk in women than in men, adhering to a favorable lifestyle is associated with a substantially lower risk of mortality and may eliminate the detrimental impact of MVDs in both sexes.

Abstract
Sleep quality is among the common complication in patients on dialysis and serious affect their health and quality of life; however, other associated risk factors are unclear. This study aimed to investigate the risk factors affecting sleep quality in patients on dialysis. Data were collected from 260 patients who met the inclusion criteria at out hospital from May 2023 to October 2023. Questionnaires were completed by patients, and biochemical indicators were obtained from past medical records. Univariate and multifactor analyses were used to find factors influencing sleep quality in patients on dialysis. Simple linear regression results showed that female, type of kidney primary disease, high systolic blood pressure (SBP), pruritus, pruritus frequency, restless legs syndrome (RLS), anxiety, and depression were associated with poor sleep quality. Blood biochemical parameters showed that low sodium and calcium levels and high ferritin levels were associated with poor sleep quality. Multiple linear regression statistics showed that female, pruritus, RLS, high SBP, depression, and high ferritin levels were associated with poor sleep quality. This study showed that female, chronic nephritis syndrome, high SBP, pruritus, RLS, low mood. and high ferritin levels were associated with poor sleep quality. Future development of individual nursing and targeted therapies is key to improving sleep quality in patients on dialysis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to provide an overview of age, sex and primary renal disease (PRD) distribution among first kidney transplant recipients across Europe. METHOD The European Renal Association (ERA) Registry database was used to obtain data on patients aged 20 years or older receiving their first kidney transplant between 2010 and 2019 from 12 European countries. The numbers and percentages of recipients in each age, sex and PRD group were calculated by country, donor type and year. RESULTS In total, 99 543 adults received a first kidney transplant. Overall, 23% of the recipients were 65 years or older, 36% were female, and 21% had glomerulonephritis and 15% diabetes mellitus as PRD. Compared with deceased donor kidney transplant recipients, living donor kidney transplant recipients were less often 65 years or older (13% versus 26%), more often had glomerulonephritis (25% versus 20%) and less often diabetes mellitus (8% versus 17%) as PRD. We found large international differences, which were most prominent for age and PRD and less prominent for sex. Over time, the largest change in recipient characteristics was observed for the percentage of recipients aged 65 years or older, increasing from 18% in 2010 to 28% in 2019 for all countries combined with a similar trend in most countries. CONCLUSION We observed large differences for age and PRD distribution between recipients of living and deceased donor kidneys and between European countries. Over time, the percentage of older first kidney transplant recipients increased.

Abstract
Background Diseases manifest differently according to gender in many medical specialties. However, sex differences in kidney diseases have not been well explored worldwide, especially in India. These differences could also be attributed to sociocultural factors. Although CKD is more prevalent in women worldwide, most men are initiated on kidney replacement therapy (KRT). This study aimed to examine sex disparities in patients on maintenance hemodialysis. Materials and methods A cross-sectional observational study was conducted in two maintenance hemodialysis units at the Institute of Nephrourology, a tertiary care referral government center in Bengaluru, India. Demographic characteristics and laboratory parameters were also recorded. Results In total, 374 adult patients (aged >18 years) were included in the study. Most patients (72.7%) were men. Mean age in men was 46.95 ± 12.65 years, and women was 46.63 ± 13.66 years. There was no significant difference in marital status and the availability of caretakers between the groups. Spouses were the predominant caretakers for both sexes (64% men and 51% women, P = 0.14). Sons cared more for patients with mother than fathers (19.6% vs 8.8%, P = 0.074). Diabetic nephropathy was the most common cause of ESKD in both groups (33.1% vs 31.3%, P = 0.92). Men had a significantly longer duration of HTN and received more HD sessions per week than women. Mean hemoglobin (9.9 ± 1.79 vs 9.46 ± 1.47 g%) and mean serum creatinine (7.76 ± 2.65 vs 6.41 ± 2.27 mg/dl) were higher in men compared to women (P <0.002). Intradialytic complications, such as hypotension and cramps, were significantly more common in women than in men (P = 0.004). Most men (47.1%) were planning a kidney transplant (and were waitlisted) compared with fewer women (43%). There was no significant difference in the average number of hospitalizations per month or HD vintage. Conclusion Women tend to initiate dialysis later, and a lesser number are waitlisted for kidney transplantation, which might be partly related to varying access to or delivery of health care services. Factors such as lack of education, insufficient identification of and strategies to address cultural obstacles to healthcare, and a shortage of financial means to afford medical care are potentially correctable elements that might explain this discrepancy.

Abstract
Aim Both hyperuricemia and anemia are not only the manifestation of chronic kidney disease (CKD) but also related to its occurrence and development. A recent study has found that there was a synergetic effect between hyperuricemia and anemia on new-onset CKD. Herein we aimed to explore the roles of hyperuricemia and anemia in the all-cause mortality in patients with CKD. Methods Data of adult patients with CKD were extracted from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES) database in 2009-2018 in this retrospective cohort study. Weighted univariate and multivariate COX regression analyses were used to investigate the associations of hyperuricemia and anemia with all-cause mortality, and the evaluation indexes were hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). The interaction effect between hyperuricemia and anemia on the risk of all-cause mortality was assessed via relative excess risk due to interaction (RERI) and attributable proportion of interaction (AP). Subgroup analyses of age, gender, CVD, hypertension, DM, and cancer were also performed to assess this interaction effect. Results Among 3,678 eligible patients, 819 died from all causes. After adjusting for covariables, we found that CKD patients with anemia (HR = 1.72, 95%CI: 1.42-2.09) or hyperuricemia (HR = 1.21, 95%CI: 1.01-11.45) had a higher risk of all-cause mortality. There was a potential synergetic effect between anemia and hyperuricemia on all-cause mortality, with RERI of 0.630 and AP of 0.291. Moreover, this synergetic effect was also observed in ≥65 years old (AP = 0.330), male (AP = 0.355), hypertension (AP = 0.736), non-hypertension (AP = 0.281), DM (AP = 0.371), and cancer (AP = 0.391) subgroups. Conclusion A potential synergetic effect between anemia and hyperuricemia on all-cause mortality was found in patients with CKD. However, further studies are needed to clarify the causal relationship between them.

Abstract
Purpose Kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) may experience symptoms that increase their fear of progression (FoP), but a dearth of research examines the issue from a patient-centered perspective. Our study aimed to first determine the category of symptom burden, then to explore the differences in characteristics of patients in different subgroups, and finally to analyze the impact of symptom subgroup on FoP. Patients and Methods Sociodemographic and Clinical Characteristics, Symptom Experience Scale, and Fear of Progression Questionnaire-Short Form were used. Latent class analysis was used to group KTRs according to the occurrence of symptoms. We used multivariate logistic regression to analyze the predictors of different subgroups. The differences in FoP among symptom burden subgroups were analyzed by hierarchical multiple regression. Results Three subgroups were identified, designated all-high (20.5%), moderate (39.9%), and all-low (39.6%) according to their symptom occurrence. Multivariate logistic regression showed that gender, post-transplant time, per capita monthly income, and hyperuricemia were the factors that distinguished and predicted the all-high subgroup (P < 0.05). Hierarchical multiple regression showed that symptom burden had a significant effect on FoP (class1 vs class3: β = 0.327, P < 0.001; class2 vs class3: β = 0.104, P = 0.046), explaining the 8.0% variance of FoP (ΔR2 = 0.080). Conclusion KTRs generally experience moderate or low symptom burden, and symptom burden is an influencing factor in FoP. Identifying the traits of KTRs with high symptom burden can help clinicians develop targeted management strategies and ease FoP of KTRs.

Abstract
Various complications can influence hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) outcomes. Renal complications can occur during the early to late phases of HCT along with various factors. However, studies focusing on fatal renal complications (FRCs) are scarce. Herein, we analyzed 36,596 first allogeneic HCT recipients retrospectively. Overall, 782 patients died of FRCs at a median of 108 (range, 0-3,440) days after HCT. The cumulative incidence of FRCs was 1.7% and 2.2% at one and five years, respectively. FRCs were associated with older age, male sex, non-complete remission (non-CR), lower performance status (PS), and HCT comorbidity index (HCT-CI) associated with renal comorbidity in multivariate analysis. The risk factors within 100 days included older age, multiple myeloma, PS, and HCT-CI comorbidities (psychiatric disturbance, hepatic disease, obesity, and renal disease). Older age and male sex were risk factors between 100 days and one year. After one year, HCT-CI was associated with the presence of diabetes and prior solid tumor; total body irradiation was identified as a risk factor. Non-CR was a common risk factor in all three phases. Furthermore, acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease, reactivation of cytomegalovirus, and relapse of underlying disease also affected FRCs. Systematic follow-up may be necessary based on the patients' risk factors and post-HCT events.
