Abstract
BACKGROUND Urinary Dickkopf 3 (DKK3) excretion is a recently established biomarker of renal functional development. Its excretion into the peritoneal cavity has not been reported. We here studied DKK3 in peritoneal dialysis. METHODS DKK3 was assessed in serum, urine and dialysate in a prevalent adult peritoneal dialysis cohort and its concentration analyzed in relation to creatinine and clinical characteristics. RESULTS Highest DKK3 concentrations were found in serum, followed by urine. Dialysate concentrations were significantly lower. Dialysate DKK3 correlated with both other compartments. Serum, dialysate and urine values were stable during three months of follow-up. Continuous ambulatory dialysis (CAPD) but not cycler-assisted peritoneal dialysis (CCPD) volume-dependently increased peritoneal DKK3 in relation to creatinine. RAAS blockade significantly decreased urinary, but not serum or peritoneal DKK3. CONCLUSION Our data provide a detailed characterization of DKK3 in peritoneal dialysis. They support the notion that the RAAS system is essential for renal DKK3 handling.

Gout Prevalence, Practice Patterns, and Associations with Outcomes in North American Dialysis Patients. KIDNEY360 2023; 4:54-62.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Gout occurs frequently in patients with kidney disease and can lead to a significant burden on quality of life. Gout prevalence, and its association with outcomes in hemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD) populations located in North America, is unknown. METHODS We used data from North America cohorts of 70,297 HD patients (DOPPS, 2012-2020) and 5117 PD patients (PDOPPS, 2014-2020). We used three definitions of gout for this analysis: (1) having an active prescription for colchicine or febuxostat; (2) having an active prescription for colchicine, febuxostat, or allopurinol; or (3) having an active prescription for colchicine, febuxostat, or allopurinol, or prior diagnosis of gout. Propensity score matching was used to compare outcomes among patients with versus without gout. Outcomes included erythropoietin resistance index (ERI=erythropoiesis stimulating agent dose per week/(hemoglobin×weight)), all-cause mortality, hospitalization, and patient-reported outcomes (PROs). RESULTS The gout prevalence was 13% in HD and 21% in PD; it was highest among incident dialysis patients. Description of previous history of gout was rare, and identification of gout defined by colchicine (2%-3%) or febuxostat (1%) prescription was less frequent than by allopurinol (9%-12%). Both HD and PD patients with gout (versus no gout) were older, were more likely male, had higher body mass index, and had higher prevalence of cardiovascular comorbidities. About half of patients with a gout history were prescribed urate-lowering therapy. After propensity score matching, mean ERI was 3%-6% higher for gout versus non-gout patients while there was minimal evidence of association with clinical outcomes or PROs. CONCLUSION In a large cohort of PD and HD patients in North America, we found that gout occurs frequently and is likely under-reported. Gout was not associated with adverse clinical or PROs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is limited by reduced efficacy over time. We previously showed that a Janus kinase 1/2 inhibitor (JAK1/2i) reduced inflammation, hypervascularity and fibrosis induced by 4.25% dextrose dialysate (4.25%D) intraperitoneally (IP) infused for 10 days in rats with normal kidney function. JAK/STAT signalling mediates inflammatory pathways, including angiotensin signalling. We now tested the effect of long-term JAK1/2i and/or an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) on peritoneal membrane (PM) in polycystic kidneys (PCK) rats infused with 4.25%D. METHODS Except for controls, all PCK rats had a tunnelled PD catheter: (1) no infusions; (2) 4.25%D; (3) 4.25%D + JAK1/2i (5 mg/kg); (4) 4.25%D +losartan (5 mg/kg); and (5) 4.25%D + losartan +JAK1/2i (5 mg/kg each) IP BID × 16 weeks (N = 5/group). PM VEGFR2 staining areas and submesothelial compact zone (SMCZ) width were morphometrically measured. Peritoneal equilibration testing measured peritoneal ultrafiltration (UF) by calculating dialysate glucose at time 0 and 90 min (D/D0 glucose). RESULTS 4.25%D caused hypervascularity, SMCZ widening, fibrosis and UF functional decline in PCK rats. Angiogenesis was significantly attenuated by JAK1/2i ± ARB but not by ARB monotherapy. Both treatments reduced SMCZ area. UF was preserved consistently by dual therapy (p < 0.05) but with inconsistent responses by monotherapies. CONCLUSION Long-term JAK1/2i ± ARB reduced angiogenesis and fibrosis, and the combination consistently maintained UF. In clinical practice, angiotensin inhibition has been advocated to maintain residual kidney function. Our study suggests that adding JAK1/2i to angiotensin inhibition may preserve PM structure and UF.

Impact of Pharmacological Treatments for Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria with an Inadequate Response to H1-Antihistamines on Health-Related Quality of Life: A Systematic Review and Network Meta-Analysis. THE JOURNAL OF ALLERGY AND CLINICAL IMMUNOLOGY-IN PRACTICE 2021; 10:297-308. [PMID: 34695599 DOI: 10.1016/j.jaip.2021.10.022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/03/2021] [Revised: 10/04/2021] [Accepted: 10/05/2021] [Indexed: 01/02/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Recently, pharmacological treatment options for H1-antihistamine-refractory chronic spontaneous urticaria have increased dramatically; however, their effects on patient-reported outcomes, including health-related quality of life (HRQOL), remain unclear. OBJECTIVE To compare the impact of these treatments on HRQOL among H1-antihistamine-refractory patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria. METHODS We completed a comprehensive search of the available literature in the electronic databases, gray literature, and preprint reports up to April 19, 2021, with no language restrictions. The primary outcome for evaluation was a change in HRQOL from the baseline, and secondary outcomes included patient unacceptability and other patient-reported outcomes. We used a random-effects network meta-analysis and estimated differences in standardized mean differences (SMDs) and odds ratios with 95% CIs. Evidence-based synthesis was based on magnitudes of effect size, evidence certainty, ranking of treatment effects, and clinically meaningful improvement. RESULTS Twelve randomized controlled trials encompassing 1866 adolescent and adult patients were included. Our evidence synthesis analyses revealed that hydroxychloroquine (SMD, -1.00 [-1.61 to -0.39]), 72 mg ligelizumab (SMD, -0.66 [-0.96 to -0.35]), 240 mg ligelizumab (SMD, -0.67 [-0.98 to -0.37]), and 300 mg omalizumab (SMD, -0.53 [-0.67 to -0.39]) significantly improved HRQOL with a moderate beneficial effect. However, the use of hydroxychloroquine seems to be limited by a higher risk of patient unacceptability of treatment. Other secondary outcomes remain inconclusive based on the available evidence. CONCLUSIONS Both ligelizumab (72 or 240 mg) and 300 mg omalizumab appeared to be effective treatments for H1-antihistamine-refractory chronic spontaneous urticaria, because they were closely associated with improved HRQOL.

Abstract
Importance The comparative benefits and harms of all available treatments for H1 antihistamine-refractory chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) have not been established. Objective To evaluate different treatment effects of pharmacologic treatments among patients with H1 antihistamine-refractory CSU. Data Sources Searches were conducted of MEDLINE, Embase, PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Scopus, and CINAHL from inception to April 19, 2021, with no language restrictions. Gray literature from Google Scholar, ongoing trial registers, and preprint reports was added to the searches of electronic databases. Study Selection Randomized clinical trials using validated measurement tools that investigated the benefits and harms of pharmacologic treatments among adolescent or adult patients with CSU who had an inadequate response to H1 antihistamines were screened for inclusion independently by 2 investigators. Data Extraction and Synthesis Two investigators independently extracted study data according to the predefined list of interests. A random-effects model was used to calculate the network estimates reported as standardized mean differences and odds ratios with corresponding 95% CIs. Main Outcomes and Measures The primary outcomes that reflect the patient's perspective included changes in urticaria symptoms from baseline and unacceptability of treatment (all-cause dropouts). Results Twenty-three randomized clinical trials with 2480 participants that compared 18 different interventions or dosages and placebo were included. The standardized mean differences for change in urticaria symptoms were -1.05 (95% CI, -1.37 to -0.73) for ligelizumab, 72 mg; -1.07 (95% CI, -1.39 to -0.75) for ligelizumab, 240 mg; -0.77 (95% CI, -0.91 to -0.63) for omalizumab, 300 mg; and -0.59 (95% CI, -1.10 to -0.08) for omalizumab, 600 mg. No significant differences in treatment unacceptability were observed. With respect to benefits and harms, the network estimates illustrated that the most efficacious treatments were achieved with ligelizumab, 72 or 240 mg (large beneficial effect) and omalizumab, 300 or 600 mg (moderate beneficial effect). Conclusions and Relevance The findings in this meta-analysis suggest that the biologic agents ligelizumab, 72 or 240 mg, and omalizumab, 300 or 600 mg, can be recommended as effective treatments for patients with CSU who have had an inadequate response to H1 antihistamines. Head-to-head trials with high methodologic quality and harmonized design and outcome definitions are needed to help inform subsequent international guidelines for the management of CSU.

IL-17A as a Potential Therapeutic Target for Patients on Peritoneal Dialysis. Biomolecules 2020; 10:biom10101361. [PMID: 32987705 PMCID: PMC7598617 DOI: 10.3390/biom10101361] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/26/2020] [Revised: 09/16/2020] [Accepted: 09/22/2020] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a health problem reaching epidemic proportions. There is no cure for CKD, and patients may progress to end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is a current replacement therapy option for ESRD patients until renal transplantation can be achieved. One important problem in long-term PD patients is peritoneal membrane failure. The mechanisms involved in peritoneal damage include activation of the inflammatory and immune responses, associated with submesothelial immune infiltrates, angiogenesis, loss of the mesothelial layer due to cell death and mesothelial to mesenchymal transition, and collagen accumulation in the submesothelial compact zone. These processes lead to fibrosis and loss of peritoneal membrane function. Peritoneal inflammation and membrane failure are strongly associated with additional problems in PD patients, mainly with a very high risk of cardiovascular disease. Among the inflammatory mediators involved in peritoneal damage, cytokine IL-17A has recently been proposed as a potential therapeutic target for chronic inflammatory diseases, including CKD. Although IL-17A is the hallmark cytokine of Th17 immune cells, many other cells can also produce or secrete IL-17A. In the peritoneum of PD patients, IL-17A-secreting cells comprise Th17 cells, γδ T cells, mast cells, and neutrophils. Experimental studies demonstrated that IL-17A blockade ameliorated peritoneal damage caused by exposure to PD fluids. This article provides a comprehensive review of recent advances on the role of IL-17A in peritoneal membrane injury during PD and other PD-associated complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Based on the International Society for peritoneal dialysis (PD) recommendations, blockade of renin-angiotensin systems with an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB) improves residual kidney function in PD patients. However, the long-term effectiveness of ACEI/ARB use in PD patients has not been fully elucidated. We, therefore, intend to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis to summarize the effects of ACEI/ARB use on long-term mortality, cardiovascular outcomes, and adverse events among PD patients. METHODS This systematic review will include both randomized controlled trials and non-randomized studies in adult PD patients. We also plan to incorporate data from our cohort study in Thai PD population into this review. We will search PubMed, Medline, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Scopus, CINAHL, and grey literature from inception to February 29, 2019, with no language restrictions. The process of study screening, selection, data extraction, risk of bias assessment, and grading the strength of evidence will be performed independently by a pair of reviewers. Any discrepancy will be resolved through a team discussion and/or consultation with the third reviewer. The pooled effects estimate and 95% confidence intervals will be estimated using DerSimonian-Laird random-effects models. Heterogeneity will be assessed by the Cochran Q test, I index and tau-squared statistics. The funnel plots along with the Begg and Egger test and trim and fill method will be performed to investigate any evidence of publication bias. Preplanned subgroup analyses and random-effects univariate meta-regressions will be performed to quantify the potential sources of heterogeneity based on studies- and patient-characteristics. RESULTS This will be the first systematic review and meta-analysis to summarize the long-term effectiveness of renin-angiotensin system inhibitors in PD populations. CONCLUSION In summary, this systematic review and meta-analysis will summarize the effectiveness of ACEI/ARB on long-term mortality, cardiovascular outcomes, and adverse events among adult PD patients by integrated all available evidences. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION Based on the existing published data, an ethical approval is not required. The findings will be disseminated through scientific meetings and publications in peer-reviewed journals.PROSPERO registration number: CRD42019129492.
