LCZ696, an angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitor, ameliorates epithelial-mesenchymal transition of peritoneal mesothelial cells and M2 macrophage polarization. Ren Fail 2024; 46:2392849. [PMID: 39165231 PMCID: PMC11340223 DOI: 10.1080/0886022x.2024.2392849] [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: 03/11/2024] [Revised: 07/11/2024] [Accepted: 08/09/2024] [Indexed: 08/22/2024] Open
Abstract
AIMS To investigate the effects and mechanisms of LCZ696, an angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitor (ARNI), on epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of peritoneal mesothelial cells and on macrophage M2 polarization. METHODS We examined the effects of LCZ696 in a 4.25% high glucose peritoneal dialysis fluid (PDF)-induced peritoneal fibrosis (PF) mouse model, and explored the mechanisms of LCZ696 on human peritoneal mesothelial cells (HPMCs) stimulated by TGF-β1 (5 ng/mL) and on Raw264.7 cells stimulated by IL-4 (10 ng/mL). To further elucidate the mechanism, we treated HPMCs with the conditioned medium of Raw264.7 cells. RESULTS LCZ696 effectively improved PF and inhibited the process of EMT in PDF mice. In vitro, LCZ696 also significantly alleviated the EMT of TGF-β1 induced HPMCs, although there was no statistically significant difference when compared to the Valsartan treatment group. Moreover, LCZ696 ameliorates the increased expression of Snail and Slug, two nuclear transcription factors that drive the EMT. Mechanistically, TGF-β1 increased the expression of TGFβRI, p-Smad3, p-PDGFRβ and p-EGFR, while treatment with LCZ696 abrogated the activation of TGF-β/Smad3, PDGFRβ and EGFR signaling pathways. Additionally, exposure of Raw264.7 to IL-4 results in increasing expression of Arginase-1, CD163 and p-STAT6. Treatment with LCZ696 inhibited IL-4-elicited M2 macrophage polarization by inactivating the STAT6 signaling pathway. Furthermore, we observed that LCZ696 inhibits EMT by blocking TGF-β1 secretion from M2 macrophages. CONCLUSION Our study demonstrated that LCZ696 improves PF and ameliorates TGF-β1-induced EMT of HPMCs by blocking TGF-β/Smad3, PDGFRβ and EGFR pathways. Meanwhile, LCZ696 also inhibits M2 macrophage polarization by regulating STAT6 pathway.

Effects of Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter 2 Inhibitors in Diabetic and Non-Diabetic Patients with Advanced Chronic Kidney Disease in Peritoneal Dialysis on Residual Kidney Function: In Real-World Data. MEDICINA (KAUNAS, LITHUANIA) 2024; 60:1198. [PMID: 39202480 PMCID: PMC11356563 DOI: 10.3390/medicina60081198] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/01/2024] [Revised: 07/20/2024] [Accepted: 07/22/2024] [Indexed: 09/03/2024]
Abstract
Background and Objectives: Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is a renal replacement therapy modality in which the dialysis dose can be individually adapted according to the patients' residual kidney function (RKF). RKF is a crucial factor for technique and patient survival. Pharmacological strategies aimed at slowing the loss of RKF in patients on PD are limited. Therefore, we aimed to assess the potential effects and safety of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors on the preservation of RKF in patients with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) on PD during an average follow-up of 6 months. Materials and Methods: In this retrospective observational, single-center study on real-world data, we included patients from the Peritoneal Dialysis Unit of the Hospital General Universitario de Ciudad Real, who started treatment with SGLT-2 inhibitors during the period from December 2022 to December 2023. Data on analytical and clinical parameters, RKF, and peritoneal membrane transport function were retrospectively collected at months 0, 3, and 6. Results: Out of 31 patients in our unit, 16 prevalent patients initiated treatment with SGLT-2 inhibitors (13 empagliflozin and 3 dapagliflozin). A total of 62.5% were male and the mean age was 67.3 years. The baseline peritoneal ultrafiltration was higher in the non-diabetic patient (NDMP) group than in the diabetic patient (DMP) group. However, the residual diuresis volume, 24 h residual renal clearance rate of urea in urine, and 24 h proteinuria were higher in the DMP group than in the NDMP group. At the sixth month, patients in both groups preserved RKF and diuresis, with a trend towards a non-significant reduction in proteinuria and blood pressure. Only two patients of the DMP group presented adverse effects. Conclusions: The use of SGLT-2 inhibitors in our sample of patients with and without T2DM on PD appears to be safe and effective to preserve RKF.

Abstract
Residual kidney function (RKF) has been associated with better survival, less morbidity, and improved quality of life in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. Since higher peritoneal clearance does not lead to better outcomes, more emphasis should be put on preserving kidney function. Many other benefits have been reported, including better volume and blood pressure control, better nutritional status, lower rates of PD peritonitis, preserved erythropoietin and vitamin D production, middle molecule clearance, lower Left Ventricular Hypertrophy, and better serum phosphate level. The most practical method of assessing RKF is the mean of 24-h urinary urea and creatinine clearance. Incremental PD prescription is an ideal option to supplement RKF in PD patients, which also offers more flexibility to the patient and, possibly, improved adherence. Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers should be used when possible in PD patients to preserve RKF. Loop diuretics are underutilized in PD patients despite providing an additional means of maintaining fluid balance and reducing the need for higher glucose-containing PD solutions. In this paper, we outline the importance of RKF in PD patients and the different strategies for its preservation.

Abstract
The high prevalence of cardiovascular disease is caused by the traditional cardiovascular risk factors common among end-stage renal disease patients, and nontraditional risk factors attributed to underlying kidney disease, including chronic inflammation, anemia, bone mineral disease, and the dialysis procedure itself. Individualization of the treatment of cardiovascular disease in end-stage renal disease that could impact the underlying mechanisms of the cardiovascular diseases is important to improve outcomes. This article reviews and compares hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis in association with different cardiovascular diseases affecting dialysis patients, including hypertension, coronary artery disease, myocardial stunning, cardiac arrhythmias, heart failure, and the cardiorenal syndrome.

Abstract
AbstractApproximately 10 years have passed since the Peritoneal Dialysis Guidelines were formulated in 2009. Much evidence has been reported during the succeeding years, which were not taken into consideration in the previous guidelines, e.g., the next peritoneal dialysis PD trial of encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis (EPS) in Japan, the significance of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), the effects of icodextrin solution, new developments in peritoneal pathology, and a new international recommendation on a proposal for exit-site management. It is essential to incorporate these new developments into the new clinical practice guidelines. Meanwhile, the process of creating such guidelines has changed dramatically worldwide and differs from the process of creating what were “clinical practice guides.” For this revision, we not only conducted systematic reviews using global standard methods but also decided to adopt a two-part structure to create a reference tool, which could be used widely by the society’s members attending a variety of patients. Through a working group consensus, it was decided that Part 1 would present conventional descriptions and Part 2 would pose clinical questions (CQs) in a systematic review format. Thus, Part 1 vastly covers PD that would satisfy the requirements of the members of the Japanese Society for Dialysis Therapy (JSDT). This article is the duplicated publication from the Japanese version of the guidelines and has been reproduced with permission from the JSDT.

Effects of ACEIs and ARBs on the Residual Renal Function in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients: A Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2021; 2020:6762029. [PMID: 33029520 PMCID: PMC7532381 DOI: 10.1155/2020/6762029] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/27/2020] [Accepted: 08/21/2020] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND In peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients, whether angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) could protect residual renal function is still controversial. To assess the effects of ACEIs and ARBs on the residual renal function and cardiovascular (CV) events in peritoneal dialysis patients, we performed a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. MATERIALS AND METHODS We searched PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, the CNKI database, and the Wanfang database for relevant articles from database inception to November 30, 2019. Randomized controlled trials were included. The primary outcome was the decline in the residual renal function (RRF). RESULTS Thirteen trials with 625 participants were included in the meta-analysis. The average residual GFR declined by 1.79 ml/min per 1.73 m2 in the ACEI/ARB group versus 1.44 ml/min per 1.73 m2 in the placebo or active control group at 3 mo. The average residual GFR declined by 2.02 versus 2.06, 2.16 versus 2.72, and -0.04 versus 2.74 ml/min per 1.73 m2 in the placebo or active control group at 6 months (mo), 12 mo, and 24 mo, respectively. The decline in residual GFR showed a significant difference between the ACEI/ARB group and the placebo or active control group at 12 mo (MD = -0.64 ml/min per 1.73 m2; 95% CI: -0.97~-0.32; I 2 = 44%; P < 0.0001). No significant difference was observed in Kt/V, urinary protein excretion, weekly creatinine clearance, CV events, or serum potassium levels. CONCLUSIONS In the present study, we found that the use of ACEIs and ARBs, especially long-term treatment, decreased the decline of RRF in patients on PD. ACEIs and ARBs do not cause an additional risk of side effects.

Abstract
The recently published 2020 International Society for Peritoneal Dialysis (ISPD) practice recommendations regarding prescription of high-quality goal-directed peritoneal dialysis differ fundamentally from previous guidelines that focused on "adequacy" of dialysis. The new ISPD publication emphasizes the need for a person-centered approach with shared decision making between the individual performing peritoneal dialysis and the clinical care team while taking a broader view of the various issues faced by that individual. Cognizant of the lack of strong evidence for the recommendations made, they are labeled as "practice points" rather than being graded numerically. This commentary presents the views of a work group convened by the National Kidney Foundation's Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative (KDOQI) to assess these recommendations and assist clinical providers in the United States in interpreting and implementing them. This will require changes to the current clinical paradigm, including greater resource allocation to allow for enhanced services that provide a more holistic and person-centered assessment of the quality of dialysis delivered.

Abstract
⋄ Background Although the effects of angiotensin type 1 receptor blocker (ARB) have been studied, little is known about ARBs in hypertensive patients undergoing dialysis. In the present study, we evaluated the effect of an ARB, olmesartan medoxomil (CS866), on the progression of peritoneal fibrosis in peritoneal dialysis by examining its effect in a model of peritoneal fibrosis in hypertensive rats. ⋄ Materials and Methods W e all ocated 40 male Wistar rats with 2-kidney, 1-clip renovascular hypertension (2K1C-RVH) to 4 groups (each n = 10) that were dialyzed using various solutions for 42 days as follows: • Group I—10 mL pH 3.5 dialysis solution containing 1.35% glucose • Group II—10 mL pH 3.5 dialysis solution, plus oral administration of CS866 5 mg/kg daily • Group III—10 mL pH 3.5 dialysis solution, plus oral administration of the calcium channel blocker (CCB) amlodipine 3 mg/kg daily • Group IV—10 mL pH 7.0 dialysis solution Dialysis solution was injected every day for 42 days. ⋄ Results Treatment with CS866 and amlodipine induced a significant reduction of blood pressure in 2K1C-RVH rats. In rats treated with pH 3.5 dialysis solution, necropsy findings revealed features identical to those of encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis (EPS). The typical appearance was multiple surfaces covered with granulation tissue or fibrosic tissue or both. Multiple adhesions were present. Microscopic findings revealed that acidic dialysis solution induced peritoneal fibrosis and loss of mesothelium. Treatment with CS866 prevented the progression of peritoneal fibrosis and adhesions. However amlodipine did not improve the progression of peritoneal fibrosis and peritoneal adhesions. In CS866-treated rats, no signs of EPS were present. ⋄ Conclusions Long-term intraperitoneal exposure to acidic dialysis solution produced features typical of EPS. Acidic dialysis solution induces activation of the peritoneal renin– angiotensin system and progression of peritoneal fibrosis. For the peritoneum undergoing peritoneal dialysis, ARB protects against progression of peritoneal fibrosis and peritoneal adhesions.

Abstract
Dialysis is not the ideal renal replacement therapy because it does not fully restore all kidney functions. Increasing evidence suggests that preservation of residual renal function is associated with a survival benefit, a decrease in morbidity, better nutrition, a lower level of inflammatory markers, an improved quality of life, and cost savings by obviating the need for more peritoneal dialysis exchanges and possibly by reducing the requirement for antihypertensive agents, phosphate binders, and erythropoietin. In the present article, we review the impact of residual renal function on patient outcomes and the renoprotective strategies available in patients on peritoneal dialysis.

Abstract
Diabetic patients are often affected by comorbid conditions that influence clinical outcome. Taking care of diabetic peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients is a challenge for nephrologists, not only because these patients have more complications and comorbidities, but also because of their difficulties in maintaining glycemic control with the use of current glucose-containing dialysis solutions. In addition, the increased transport of small molecules and proteins by the peritoneal membrane in diabetic patients adds the further problems of ultrafiltration deficit and malnutrition. The present article reviews pertinent evidence toward establishing the best strategy for the care of diabetic PD patients. With better glycemic control, improved nutrition, improved fluid balance, and optimal preservation of residual renal function, there is hope for improving the survival of diabetic PD patients.

Abstract
Background Troponin T (TnT) is a well-known risk factor for negative outcome in hemodialysis (HD) patients, but little is known about variation over time, and the impact of clinical and dialysis specific factors. This study investigated the effect of angiotensin II receptor blockade (ARB), short and long-term variation in TnT and associations with clinical parameters. Methods In this analysis based on the SAFIR-cohort (Clinical Trials ID: NCT00791830) 81 HD patients were randomized double-blind for placebo (n = 40) or angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) treatment (n = 41) with irbesartan (150–300 mg) and followed for 12 months with six serial measurements of TnT using a high-sensitivity assay. Results Fifty-four patients (67%) completed follow-up. Baseline TnT-medians (min-max) were (placebo/ARB): 45(14–295)/46(10–343) ng/L. ARB-treatment did not significantly affect mean TnT-levels over the 12-month study period. Median week-to-week and one-year TnT-variation (5th–95th-percentile range) using all samples regardless of intervention were: 0(− 14–10) ng/L (week-to-week) and 3(− 40–71) ng/L (12 months). Median TnT-amplitude, capturing the change from the lowest to the highest TnT-value observed during the one-year study period was 38% or 20.5 ng/L. Median ratios with 95% limits of agreement were: 1.00(0.73–1.37); P = 0.92 (1 week/baseline; n = 77) and 1.07(0.52–2.25); P = 0.19 (12 months/baseline; n = 54). Baseline TnT was positively correlated with diabetes, ultrafiltration volume, arterial stiffness, change in intradialytic total peripheral resistance and N-terminal pro b-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and negatively correlated with hematocrit, residual renal function and change in intradialytic cardiac output. High baseline TnT was associated with a higher risk of admission and cardiovascular (CV) events during follow-up. Increase in TnT over time (ΔTnT = 12-months-baseline) was significantly associated with increase in left ventricular (LV) mass and NT-proBNP and decrease in LV ejection fraction and late intradialytic stroke volume. ΔTnT was not significantly associated with admissions, CV or intradialytic hypotensive events during follow-up. Admissions were significantly more likely with a high (TnT-amplitude> 20.5 ng/L) than a low TnT-amplitude. Peaks in TnT were less frequent in aspirin-treated patients. Conclusion ARB-treatment had no significant effect on TnT-levels. Week-to-week variation was generally low, yet over 12 months individual patients had considerable TnT fluctuations. Rise in TnT over time was significantly correlated with markers of cardiac deterioration. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00791830. Date of registration: November 17, 2008.

[PMID: 32278617 PMCID: PMC7215236 DOI: 10.1016/j.kint.2020.01.046] [Citation(s) in RCA: 106] [Impact Index Per Article: 26.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/10/2019] [Revised: 12/05/2019] [Accepted: 01/08/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
Blood pressure (BP) and volume control are critical components of dialysis care and have substantial impacts on patient symptoms, quality of life, and cardiovascular complications. Yet, developing consensus best practices for BP and volume control have been challenging, given the absence of objective measures of extracellular volume status and the lack of high-quality evidence for many therapeutic interventions. In February of 2019, Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) held a Controversies Conference titled Blood Pressure and Volume Management in Dialysis to assess the current state of knowledge related to BP and volume management and identify opportunities to improve clinical and patient-reported outcomes among individuals receiving maintenance dialysis. Four major topics were addressed: BP measurement, BP targets, and pharmacologic management of suboptimal BP; dialysis prescriptions as they relate to BP and volume; extracellular volume assessment and management with a focus on technology-based solutions; and volume-related patient symptoms and experiences. The overarching theme resulting from presentations and discussions was that managing BP and volume in dialysis involves weighing multiple clinical factors and risk considerations as well as patient lifestyle and preferences, all within a narrow therapeutic window for avoiding acute or chronic volume-related complications. Striking this challenging balance requires individualizing the dialysis prescription by incorporating comorbid health conditions, treatment hemodynamic patterns, clinical judgment, and patient preferences into decision-making, all within local resource constraints.

Abstract
Hypertension in dialysis patients is extremely common. In this article, we review the current evidence for blood pressure (BP) goals in hemodialysis patients, and consider the effectiveness of interventions by which BP may be lowered, including manipulation of dietary and dialysate sodium; optimization of extracellular water; prolongation of dialysis time; and antihypertensive medication. Although two meta-analyses suggest lowering BP using antihypertensive drugs might be beneficial in reducing cardiovascular events and mortality, there are insufficient rigorously designed trials in hypertensive hemodialysis populations to determine preferred antihypertensive drug classes. We suggest aiming for predialysis systolic BP between 130 and 159 mm Hg, while at the same time acknowledge the significant limitations of the data upon which it is based. We conclude by summarizing current knowledge as regards management of hypertension in the peritoneal dialysis population and make recommendations for future research in this field.

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.

Abstract
Background Optimization of ultrafiltration and preservation of the peritoneal membrane are desirable objectives in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. Mixtures of glucose-and non-glucose-based solutions may help to meet both targets simultaneously. Aim To analyze the effects, in terms of ultrafiltration and peritoneal glucose load, of including icodextrin-based dialysate in the nocturnal schedule of patients undergoing automated PD (APD). Method Following a randomized crossover design, 17 APD patients underwent two 10-day study periods under identical prescription (including amino acid-based solution for the night schedule), except for the substitution of 2 L glucose-based dialysate in the nocturnal mixture (control) by a similar amount of icodextrin-based dialysate (icodextrin phase) in one period. Dependent variables included ultra-filtration, sodium removal, peritoneal glucose load, and residual renal function. We measured serum and urine levels of icodextrin metabolites at the end of each phase. Results Ultrafiltration was marginally higher during the icodextrin phase (median 815 vs 763 mL/day, p = 0.07), while peritoneal sodium removal was similar in both phases (74 vs 71 mmol/L/day). Peritoneal glucose load (median 67.5 vs 104.0 g/day, p < 0.005) and absorption (14.0 vs 35.6 g/day, p < 0.005) were lower during the icodextrin phase. Diuresis was also modestly lower during the icodextrin phase (500 vs 600 mL/day, p < 0.05). Serum levels of icodextrin metabolites were moderately higher in the icodextrin phase ( p < 0.005) in patients both on and off diurnal icodextrin. Conclusion Inclusion of amino acid- and icodextrin-based solutions in the nocturnal schedule of APD patients may allow sustained ultrafiltration and sodium removal while significantly reducing the peritoneal glucose load in these patients.

Abstract
The provision of long-term renal replacement therapies for patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) in low and low-middle income countries (LLMICs) has been a pervasive challenge, impeded mainly by monetary constraints, limited health-care resources, and geographical and logistic difficulties. Even for patients who could initiate dialysis, discontinuation of dialysis treatment due to the lack of financial sustainability is a valid concern. While the delivery of high-quality dialysis should not be compromised in these settings, perpetuity on dialysis is of paramount consideration for these patients, with sustaining life being just as important as achieving clinical well-being. As intensification of peritoneal dialysis (PD) prescription comes with immense cost in these settings, the strategy for stretching affordability of dialysis involves optimizing the number of PD exchanges required or delaying the transition to a high PD dose of four bags per day of continuous ambulatory PD (CAPD) prescription. This can be accomplished through the use of low-cost adjunctive treatment, by preserving residual kidney function and adopting incremental PD. The use of expensive, complex, or inaccessible monitoring tools for peritoneal membrane function and dialysis clearance could be replaced by clinical assessment and widely available biochemical indicators, which will significantly reduce the investigation costs, with consequent savings that could allow for lengthening the duration of PD therapy. Finally, it is important for each PD program in LLMICs to monitor these outcome indicators, to ensure the consistent delivery of acceptable quality of PD to their patients.

Abstract
Maintenance of residual kidney function (RKF) is independently associated with increased survival in patients with end-stage renal disease. Presence of RKF is also associated with improved volume status, better nutritional status, reduced erythropoietin requirement, and decreased rate of peritonitis in patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD). Thus, the preservation of RKF is an important therapeutic end point in the management of patients on PD. Measurement of RKF in PD patients should be based on the mean of 24-h urinary creatinine and urea clearances, and ideally, this should be done quarterly. Compared to those started on hemodialysis, patients initiated on PD appear to have slower decline in RKF. The choice of PD modality should be based on patient preference, as there is no clear evidence to date showing one modality is superior than the other in preserving RKF. Peritoneal dialysates with neutral pH and low glucose degradation products seem to have a favorable effect on RKF. An angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor or angiotensin receptor blocker should be used whenever possible to preserve RKF and reduce cardiac mortality. Both loop diuretics and icodextrin can be utilized to maintain fluid balance in PD patients. However, caution should be taken to avoid volume depletion which could accelerate RKF decline. Short-term use of aminoglycosides does not have a detrimental impact on RKF, but prolonged use (>3 weeks) should be avoided to minimize the risk of ototoxicity. Lastly, potential nephrotoxic agents such as intravenous contrast should be used judiciously.

Effectiveness of Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System Blockade on Residual Kidney Function and Peritoneal Membrane Function in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients: A Network Meta-Analysis.

Abstract
We performed a network meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials (RCTs) and non-randomised studies in adult peritoneal dialysis patients to evaluate the effects of specific renin-angiotensin aldosterone systems (RAAS) blockade classes on residual kidney function and peritoneal membrane function. Key outcome parameters included the following: residual glomerular filtration rate (rGFR), urine volume, anuria, dialysate-to-plasma creatinine ratio (D/P Cr), and acceptability of treatment. Indirect treatment effects were compared using random-effects model. Pooled standardised mean differences (SMDs) and odd ratios (ORs) were estimated with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). We identified 10 RCTs (n = 484) and 10 non-randomised studies (n = 3,305). Regarding changes in rGFR, RAAS blockade with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) and angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) were more efficacious than active control (SMD 0.55 [0.06–1.04] and 0.62 [0.19–1.04], respectively) with the protective effect on rGFR observed only after usage ≥12 months, and no differences among ACEIs and ARBs. Compared with active control, only ACEIs showed a significantly decreased risk of anuria (OR 0.62 [0.41–0.95]). No difference among treatments for urine volume and acceptability of treatment were observed, whereas evidence for D/P Cr is inconclusive. The small number of randomised studies and differences in outcome definitions used may limit the quality of the evidence.

Abstract
AbstractBackgroundRenin-angiotensin system inhibitors (RASIs), either angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers, are widely used in patients with non-dialysis chronic kidney disease, as a renin-angiotensin system (RAS) blockade has renoprotective effects. Several studies show that preserving residual renal function is important for a better prognosis in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. Here, we systematically reviewed the beneficial or harmful effects of RAS blockade in PD patients.MethodsPubMed, the Cochrane Library, Embase, the Ichushi web databases, and other resources were selected to search clinical guidelines, systematic reviews, and randomized controlled trials (RCT) published before April 14, 2017, using “peritoneal dialysis,” “angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors,” “angiotensin II type 1 receptor blockers,” and “randomized controlled trial” as keywords. Desired results were total mortality, technical survival, urine volume, residual renal function calculated byglomerular filtration rate(GFR), cardiovascular events, and anuria progression rate. The study protocol is registered in PROSPERO (International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews) under the registration number CRD42018104106.ResultsOf a total of 339 studies, eight were identified as suitable for the analysis. Only one study was blinded, whereas the other seven studies were open-label. RASI appeared to preserve residual renal function, GFR (4 studies, 163 participants, mean difference [MD] 0.97 mL/min/1.73 m2, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.49–1.44), and urine volume (6 studies, 194 participants, MD 142.56 mL 95% CI 25.42–259.69), although there were no beneficial effects of RASI on total mortality, technical survival, cardiovascular events, and anuria rate.ConclusionsOur analysis found that RASIs contribute to preserving GFR and urine volume in PD patients. As the number of study participants is small, further studies with a larger sample size are required.

Abstract
Approximately 7%-10% of patients with ESKD worldwide undergo peritoneal dialysis (PD) as kidney replacement therapy. The continuous nature of this dialytic modality and the absence of acute shifts in pressure and volume parameters is an important differentiation between PD and in-center hemodialysis. However, the burden of hypertension and prognostic association of BP with mortality follow comparable patterns in both modalities. Although management of hypertension uses similar therapeutic principles, long-term preservation of residual diuresis and longevity of peritoneal membrane function require particular attention in the prescription of the appropriate dialysis regimen among those on PD. Dietary sodium restriction, appropriate use of icodextrin, and limited exposure of peritoneal membrane to bioincompatible solutions, as well as adaptation of the PD regimen to the peritoneal transport characteristics, are first-line therapeutic strategies to achieve adequate volume control with a potential long-term benefit on technique survival. Antihypertensive drug therapy is a second-line therapeutic approach, used when BP remains unresponsive to the above volume management strategies. In this article, we review the available evidence on epidemiology, diagnosis, and treatment of hypertension among patients on PD and discuss similarities and differences between PD and in-center hemodialysis. We conclude with a call for randomized trials aiming to elucidate several areas of uncertainty in management of hypertension in the PD population.

Abstract
Hypertension (blood pressure > 140/90 mm Hg) is very common in patients undergoing regular dialysis, with a prevalence of 70-80%, and only the minority has adequate blood pressure (BP) control. In contrast to the unclear association of predialytic BP recordings with cardiovascular mortality, prospective studies showed that interdialytic BP, recorded as home BP or by ambulatory blood pressure monitoring in hemodialysis patients, associates more closely with mortality and cardiovascular events. Although BP is measured frequently in the dialysis treatment environment, aspects related to the measurement technique traditionally employed may be unsatisfactory. Several other tools are now available and being used in clinical trials and in clinical practice to evaluate and treat elevated BP in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. While we wait for the ongoing review of the CKD Blood Pressure KIDGO guidelines, there is no guideline for the dialysis population addressing this important issue. Thus, the objective of this review is to provide a critical analysis of the information available on the epidemiology, pathogenic mechanisms, and the main pillars involved in the management of blood pressure in stage 5-D CKD, based on current knowledge.

Abstract
These guidelines cover all aspects of the care of patients who are treated with peritoneal dialysis. This includes equipment and resources, preparation for peritoneal dialysis, and adequacy of dialysis (both in terms of removing waste products and fluid), preventing and treating infections. There is also a section on diagnosis and treatment of encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis, a rare but serious complication of peritoneal dialysis where fibrotic (scar) tissue forms around the intestine. The guidelines include recommendations for infants and children, for whom peritoneal dialysis is recommended over haemodialysis.Immediately after the introduction there is a statement of all the recommendations. These recommendations are written in a language that we think should be understandable by many patients, relatives, carers and other interested people. Consequently we have not reworded or restated them in this lay summary. They are graded 1 or 2 depending on the strength of the recommendation by the authors, and A-D depending on the quality of the evidence that the recommendation is based on.

Baseline and Time-Averaged Values Predicting Residual Renal Function Decline Rate in Japanese Peritoneal Dialysis Patients. Ther Apher Dial 2017; 21:599-605.

Abstract
Residual renal function (RRF) is a strong prognostic factor of morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD). We determined predictors of the RRF rate of decline using both baseline values and time-averaged ones. We retrospectively analyzed 94 patients being treated with PD at the Japanese Red Cross Medical Center. The decline rate of RRF was calculated by a diminution in the weekly renal Kt/V between the first and last follow up divided by follow-up years. The mean follow-up period was 2.28 years, and the mean decline rate of weekly renal Kt/V was 0.25 per year. A multivariate analysis using baseline parameters identified dialysis-to-plasma ratios of creatinine at 4 h (P = 0.02), urinary protein (P = 0.02), and mean blood pressure (MBP) (P < 0.01) as being positively associated with the RRF rate of decline, while the use of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI)/angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) had a negative correlation (P = 0.03). When using time-averaged values as independent variables, a lower weekly total renal Kt/V (P < 0.0001), higher urinary protein (P < 0.0001), and higher MBP (P = 0.04) independently predicted a faster RRF rate of decline. We demonstrated that PD patients with a lower MBP and lower urinary protein both at baseline and throughout their PD duration had a slower RRF rate of decline. We recommend strict control of blood pressure and anti-proteinuric therapy for PD patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The chronic use of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin II receptor blocker has been associated with hyperkalemia in patients with reduced renal function even after the initiation of hemodialysis. Whether such medications may cause a similar effect in peritoneal dialysis patients is not well established. So, the aim of our study was to analyze the impact of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone inhibitors on the serum levels of potassium in a national cohort of peritoneal dialysis patients. METHOD A prospective, observational, nationwide cohort study was conducted. We identified all incident patients on peritoneal dialysis that had angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEi) or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB) prescribed for at least 3 months and a similar period of time without these medications. Patients were divided into 4 groups: Groups I and III correspond to patients using, respectively, an ACEi or ARB and then got the drug suspended; Groups II and IV started peritoneal dialysis without the use of any renin-angiotensin aldosterone system inhibitor and then got, respectively, an ACEi or ARB introduced. Changes in potassium serum levels were compared using 2 statistical approaches: (1) the non-parametric Wilcoxon test for repeated measures and (2) a crossover analysis. RESULTS Mean potassium serum levels at the first phase of the study for Groups I, II, III, and IV were, respectively, 4.46 ± 0.79, 4.33 ± 0.78, 4.41 ± 0.63, and 4.44 ± 0.56. Changes in mean potassium serum levels for Groups I, II, III, and IV were -0.10 ± 0.60, 0.02 ± 0.56, -0.06 ± 0.46, and 0.03 ± 0.50, respectively. CONCLUSION The use of ACEi and ARB was not associated with a greater risk for hyperkalemia in stable peritoneal dialysis patients independently of residual renal function.

Effects of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers on cardiovascular events and residual renal function in dialysis patients: a meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials.

Abstract
Background The role of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) reducing risk of cardiovascular events (CVEs) and preserving kidney function in patients with chronic kidney disease is well-documented. However, the efficacy and safety of these agents in dialysis patients is still a controversial issue. Methods We systematically searched MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Library and Wanfang for randomized trials. The relative risk (RR) reductions were calculated with a random-effects model. Major cardiovascular events, changes in GFR and drug-related adverse events were analyzed. Results Eleven trials included 1856 participants who were receiving dialysis therapy. Compared with placebo or other active agents groups, ARB therapy reduced the risk of heart failure events by 33% (RR 0.67, 95% CI 0.47 to 0.93) with similar decrement in blood pressure in dialysis patients. Indirect comparison suggested that fewer cardiovascular events happened during treatment with ARB (0.77, 0.63 to 0.94). The results indicated no significant differences between the two treatment regimens with regard to frequency of myocardial infarction (1.0, 0.45 to 2.22), stroke (1.16, 0.69 to 1.96), cardiovascular death (0.89, 0.64 to 1.26) and all-cause mortality (0.94, 0.75 to 1.17). Five studies reported the renoprotective effect and revealed that ACEI/ARB therapy significantly slowed the rate of decline in both residual renal function (MD 0.93 mL/min/1.73 m2, 0.38 to 1.47 mL/min/1.73 m2) and urine volume (MD 167 ml, 95% CI 21 ml to 357 ml). No difference in drug-related adverse events was observed in both treatment groups. Conclusions This study demonstrates that ACE-Is/ARBs therapy decreases the loss of residual renal function, mainly for patients with peritoneal dialysis. Overall, ACE-Is and ARBs do not reduce cardiovascular events in dialysis patients, however, treatment with ARB seems to reduce cardiovascular events including heart failure. ACE-Is and ARBs do not induce an extra risk of side effects.

Abstract
Background Although angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) and angiotensin-II receptor blockers (ARB) have been shown to preserve residual kidney function in a select group of Asian patients undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (PD) in two small randomized clinical trials, the effectiveness of these drugs has yet to be demonstrated in a more diverse population of patients with multiple comorbid conditions. We investigated the association between ACEI/ARB use and development of recorded anuria in a cohort of patients initiating PD in the U.S. Methods We conducted a retrospective observational cohort study using the US Renal Data System and electronic health records data from a large national dialysis provider. We identified adult patients who initiated PD from 2007 to 2011. Only patients who participated in the federal prescription drug benefit program, Medicare Part D, for the first 90 days of dialysis were included. Patients who filled a prescription for an ACEI or ARB during those 90 days were considered users. We applied Cox proportional hazards models to an inverse probability of treatment-weighted (IPTW) cohort to estimate the hazard ratio (HR) for anuria (24-h urine volume < 200 ml) in ACEI/ARB users vs. non-users. Results Among 886 patients, 389 (44%) used an ACEI/ARB. Almost a third of these patients were black or Hispanic, and more than a quarter had comorbidities that would have excluded them from the randomized clinical trials of ACEI/ARB. Two hundred eighty patients reached anuria over 840 person-years of follow-up, for a composite event rate of 33 events per 100 person-years. We found no clear association between ACEI/ARB use and progression to anuria [HR: 0.86, 95% CI: 0.73–1.02]. Conclusions ACEI/ARB use is common in patients initiating PD in the U.S. but was not associated with a lower risk of anuria. Residual confounding by unmeasured variables is an important limitation of this observational study. Still, these findings suggest that pragmatic clinical trials are warranted to test the effectiveness of ACEI/ARB in slowing the decline of residual kidney function in a diverse population of peritoneal dialysis patients with multiple comorbid conditions.

Abstract
Background Data on the effectiveness of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) and angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) in reducing cardiovascular (CV) risk in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD) are limited. We investigated the association between ACEI/ARB use and CV outcomes in patients initiating PD. Methods In this observational cohort study, we identified from the United States Renal Data System all adult patients who initiated PD from 2007 to 2011 and participated in Medicare Part D, a federal prescription drug benefits program, for the first 90 days of dialysis. Patients who filled a prescription for an ACEI or ARB in those 90 days were considered users. We applied Cox regression to an inverse probability of treatment weighted cohort to estimate the hazard ratios (HRs) for the combined outcome of death, ischemic stroke or myocardial infarction (MI) and each outcome individually. Results Among 4879 patients, 2063 (42%) used an ACEI/ARB. Patients were followed up for a median of 1.2 years. We recorded 1771 events, for a composite rate of 25 events per 100 person-years. ACEI/ARB use (versus nonuse) was associated with a reduced risk of the composite outcome {HR 0.84 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.76-0.93]}, all-cause mortality [HR 0.83 (95% CI 0.75-0.92)] and CV death [HR 0.74 (95% CI 0.63-0.87)], but not MI [HR 0.88 (95% CI 0.69-1.12)] or ischemic stroke [HR 1.06 (95% CI 0.79-1.43)]. Results were similar in as-treated analyses. In a subgroup analysis, we did not find any effect modification by residual renal function. Conclusions ACEI/ARB use is common in patients initiating PD and is associated with a lower risk of fatal CV outcomes.

Abstract
♦ BACKGROUND: The aim of the study was to assess risk factors for residual renal function (RRF) decline in children during the first/second year of chronic peritoneal dialysis (PD). ♦ METHODS: The study group included 56 children with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) (age 10.13 ± 4.86 years), including 18 on continuous ambulatory PD (CAPD) and 38 on automated PD (APD), in whom we evaluated RRF (daily diuresis [mL/m2/24 h], residual glomerular filtration rate (rGFR) [mL/min/1.73 m2]), etiology of ESRD, PD fluid volume (mL/m2/24 h), glucose load (g/m2/24 h), ultrafiltration (mL/m2/24 h), peritoneal permeability (D/PCrea 4h, D/D0 Glu 4h), dialysis adequacy (twKt/V, twCCr [L/week/1.73 m2]), blood pressure (BP), biochemical parameters, and medications used. Duration of follow-up was 24 months. ♦ RESULTS: Mean diuresis before initiation of PD was 1,394.93 ± 698.37 (mL/m2/24 h), and mean rGFR was 7.41 ± 3.96 (mL/min/1.73 m2). The rate of daily diuresis decline was -529.34 ± 546.28 in the first year and -107.10 ± 291.54 (mL/m2/24 h) in the second year (p = 0.005), and the rate of rGFR decline was -3.35 ± 3.73 in the first year and -1.63 ± 1.85 (mL/min/1.73 m2) in the second year (p = 0.118). Eleven (19.64%) patients became anuric. In univariate analysis, the rate of daily diuresis decline in the first year was related to baseline diuresis (r = -0.29, p = 0.031), proteinuria (r = -0.43, p = 0.001), and systolic BP (r = -0.31, p = 0.020); 12-month changes (Δ0 - 12) in PD fluid volume (r = -0.37, p = 0.004), glucose load (r = -0.28, p = 0.035), and ultrafiltration (r = -0.38, p = 0.004); serum calcium-phosphorus product (r = -0.41, p = 0.002); and Δ0 - 12 body mass index (BMI) Z-score (r = 0.30, p = 0.024); while the rate of rGFR decline in the first year was related only to baseline rGFR (r = -0.57, p < 0.001). In multivariate analysis, significant predictors of the rate of daily diuresis decline in the first year were baseline diuresis (β = -0.386, p < 0.001) and proteinuria (β = -0.278, p = 0.017), mean systolic BP Z-score (β = -0.237, p = 0.027), and age at the onset of PD (β = -0.224, p = 0.037), while predictors of the rate of rGFR decline were baseline rGFR (β = -0.607, p < 0.001) and baseline proteinuria (β = -0.225, p = 0.046). In the second year, the only predictors of the rate of rGFR decline were D/D0 Glu 4h (r = 0.44, p = 0.033, univariate analysis) and rGFR at 12 months (β = -0.499, p = 0.044). ♦ CONCLUSION: The most important risk factors for rapid RRF decline in children during the first year of chronic PD include higher baseline daily diuresis and proteinuria, and additional factors are systolic BP and age at the onset of PD; while high baseline GFR and low peritoneal transport status may be the only important factors during the second year.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Health related quality of life (HRQOL) is markedly reduced in hemodialysis patients compared to the general population. We investigated the course of self-reported HRQOL over time and the association with selected factors, focusing on changes in glomerular filtration rate (GFR). METHODS Eighty-two newly started hemodialysis patients from the SAFIR cohort filled out the Kidney Disease Quality of Life Short Form Version 1.3 (KDQOL-SFTM ) questionnaire at baseline, 6 and 12 months. The SAFIR study was a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind intervention study, examining the effects of the angiotensin II receptor blocker irbesartan. HRQOL was a secondary outcome measure. Main inclusion criteria: Dialysis vintage <1 year, left ventricular ejection fraction >30% and urinary output >300 mL/day. GFR was measured with mean creatinine and urea clearance from 24-hour urine collections at baseline, 6 and 12 months. FINDINGS Irbesartan treatment did not affect HRQOL. Patients were pooled into one group for further analyses. Decline in GFR correlated significantly with decreasing HRQOL over time. HRQOL was stable over time, with a slight nonsignificant tendency toward improved HRQOL. The largest HRQOL-differences (positive values equal improved HRQOL) observed during the 12 month study period were (mean[95% confidence interval]): Burden of kidney disease:6.4[-2.2;15.0], Role limitations-physical:12.7[-2.1;27.5], and Role limitations-emotional:9.7[-5.2;24.6]. Comorbidity, especially diabetes, hospital admissions, female gender, and age were strongly associated with lower HRQOL in cross sectional analysis. DISCUSSION Preservation of residual renal function seems to be important for HRQOL. In newly started HD patients, HRQOL showed little change after 12 months. HRQOL was negatively affected by comorbidity, especially diabetes, hospital admissions, female gender, and age.

Abstract
Preserving residual renal function in patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD) positively impacts mortality. While it is important to avoid nephrotoxic agents in this setting, clinicians should appreciate that inhibitors of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), including angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors, and angiotensin receptor blockers are likely to preserve glomerular filtration rate and prolong the time until patients on PD reach anuria, and this may improve mortality in these patients. In addition, RAAS blockade favorably affects the peritoneal membrane by reducing morphologic changes that can lead to ultrafiltration failure. This in turn may delay or prevent modality failure in patients on PD. Thus, clinicians should avoid the impulse to stop RAAS inhibitors in the PD population.

Abstract
UNLABELLED ♦ BACKGROUND There is a paucity of information on whether peritoneal dialysis (PD) slows the decline of residual kidney function (RKF) compared to the natural slope of RKF decline prior to dialysis start. Our aim was to analyze the RKF decline before and after initiating PD, and to determine the principal factors affecting this decline during the PD period. ♦ METHODS We determined individual glomerular filtration rates (GFR) for approximately 12 months before and after PD in 77 new PD patients in a large academic medical center (2008 - 2012). The GFR was estimated by the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) equation in the predialysis period and by averaging 24-hour urine creatinine and urea clearances in the PD period. The rate of RKF decline was calculated using unadjusted linear regression analysis. Wilcoxon signed rank test was used to compare RKF decline before and after PD initiation. Multivariate linear regression was used to identify independent risk factors for RKF decline in the PD phase. ♦ RESULTS A significantly slower mean rate of RKF decline was observed in the PD period compared with the predialysis period (-0.21 ± 0.30 vs -0.59 ± 0.55 mL/min/1.73 m(2)/month, p < 0.01). Higher baseline RKF, higher serum phosphate, and older age were independently associated with faster decline of RKF (all p < 0.01). ♦ CONCLUSIONS In patients with advanced chronic kidney disease, initiating PD was associated with a slower rate of RKF decline compared to the rate in the predialysis period.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease contributes significantly to the adverse clinical outcomes of peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. Numerous cardiovascular risk factors play important roles in the development of various cardiovascular complications. Of these, loss of residual renal function is regarded as one of the key cardiovascular risk factors and is associated with an increased mortality and cardiovascular death. It is also recognized that PD solutions may incur significant adverse metabolic effects in PD patients. The International Society for Peritoneal Dialysis (ISPD) commissioned a global workgroup in 2012 to formulate a series of recommendations regarding lifestyle modification, assessment and management of various cardiovascular risk factors, as well as management of the various cardiovascular complications including coronary artery disease, heart failure, arrhythmia (specifically atrial fibrillation), cerebrovascular disease, peripheral arterial disease and sudden cardiac death, to be published in 2 guideline documents. This publication forms the first part of the guideline documents and includes recommendations on assessment and management of various cardiovascular risk factors. The documents are intended to serve as a global clinical practice guideline for clinicians who look after PD patients. The ISPD workgroup also identifies areas where evidence is lacking and further research is needed.

[PMID: 25815178 PMCID: PMC4370298 DOI: 10.1093/ckj/sfu140] [Citation(s) in RCA: 36] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/26/2014] [Accepted: 12/11/2014] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Although there have been many advancements in the treatment of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) over the last 50 years, in terms of reducing cardiovascular risk, mortality remains unacceptably high, particularly for those patients who progress to stage 5 CKD and initiate dialysis (CKD5d). As mortality risk increases exponentially with progressive CKD stage, the question arises as to whether preservation of residual renal function once dialysis has been initiated can reduce mortality risk. Observational studies to date have reported an association between even small amounts of residual renal function and improved patient survival and quality of life. Dialysis therapies predominantly provide clearance for small water-soluble solutes, volume and acid-base control, but cannot reproduce the metabolic functions of the kidney. As such, protein-bound solutes, advanced glycosylation end-products, middle molecules and other azotaemic toxins accumulate over time in the anuric CKD5d patient. Apart from avoiding potential nephrotoxic insults, observational and interventional trials have suggested that a number of interventions and treatments may potentially reduce the progression of earlier stages of CKD, including targeted blood pressure control, reducing proteinuria and dietary intervention using combinations of protein restriction with keto acid supplementation. However, many interventions which have been proven to be effective in the general population have not been equally effective in the CKD5d patient, and so the question arises as to whether these treatment options are equally applicable to CKD5d patients. As strategies to help preserve residual renal function in CKD5d patients are not well established, we have reviewed the evidence for preserving or losing residual renal function in peritoneal dialysis patients, as urine collections are routinely collected, whereas few centres regularly collect urine from haemodialysis patients, and haemodialysis dialysis patients are at risk of sudden intravascular volume shifts associated with dialysis treatments. On the other hand, peritoneal dialysis patients are exposed to a variety of hypertonic dialysates and episodes of peritonitis. Whereas blood pressure control, using an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) or angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB), and low-protein diets along with keto acid supplementation have been shown to reduce the rate of progression in patients with earlier stages of CKD, the strategies to preserve residual renal function (RRF) in dialysis patients are not well established. For peritoneal dialysis patients, there are additional technical factors that might aggravate the rate of loss of residual renal function including peritoneal dialysis prescriptions and modality, bio-incompatible dialysis fluid and over ultrafiltration of fluid causing dehydration. In this review, we aim to evaluate the evidence of interventions and treatments, which may sustain residual renal function in peritoneal dialysis patients.

Compared decline of residual kidney function in patients treated with automated peritoneal dialysis and continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis: a multicenter study. Nephron Clin Pract 2015; 128:352-60.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is controversy concerning the compared rates of decline of residual kidney function (RKF) in patients treated with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) and automated peritoneal dialysis (APD). OBJECTIVES AND METHOD Following an observational, multicenter design, we studied 493 patients initiating peritoneal dialysis (PD) in four different Spanish units. We explored the effect of the PD modality on the rate of decline of RKF and the probability of anuria during follow-up. We applied logistic regression for intention-to-treat analyses, and linear mixed models to explore time-dependent variables, excluding those affected by indication bias. MAIN RESULTS Patients started on APD were younger and less comorbid than those initiated on CAPD. Baseline RKF was similar in both groups (p = 0.50). Eighty-seven patients changed their PD modality during follow-up. The following variables predicted a faster decline of RKF: higher (rate of decline) or lower (anuria) baseline RKF, younger age, proteinuria, nonprimary PD, use of PD solutions rich in glucose degradation products, higher blood pressure, and suffering peritonitis or cardiovascular events during follow-up. Overall, APD was not associated with a fast decline of RKF, but stratified analysis disclosed that patients with lower baseline RKF had an increased risk for this outcome when treated with this technique (HR: 2.26, 95% CI: 1.09-4.82, p = 0.023). Moreover, the probability of anuria during follow-up was overtly higher in APD patients (HR: 3.22, 95% CI: 1.25-6.69, p = 0.002). CONCLUSIONS Starting PD patients directly on APD is associated with a faster decline of RKF and a higher risk of developing anuria than doing so on CAPD. This detrimental effect is more marked in patients initiating PD with lower levels of RKF.

Abstract
Objectives: Whether angiotensin II receptor blockade improves skeletal muscle fatty acid oxidation in overweight and obese humans is unknown. The purpose of the study was to test the hypothesis that the angiotensin II receptor blocker, olmesartan, would increase fatty acid oxidation and the activity of enzymes associated with oxidative metabolism in skeletal muscle of overweight and obese humans. Methods: A total of 12 individuals (6 men and 6 women) aged 18–75 and with a body mass index ⩾25 kg/m2 were assigned to olmesartan or placebo for 8 weeks in a crossover fashion. Fatty acid oxidation was measured before and after each intervention by counting the 14CO2 produced from [1-14C] palmitic acid in skeletal muscle homogenates. Results: Fatty acid oxidation was not significantly different between treatment periods at baseline and post intervention. In addition, the enzyme activities of citrate synthase and β-hydroxyacyl-coenzyme A dehydrogenase in skeletal muscle homogenates did not differ between treatment periods at baseline or post intervention. Conclusions: Treatment with olmesartan for 8 weeks does not improve fatty acid oxidation or the activity of enzymes associated with oxidative metabolism in skeletal muscle from overweight and obese individuals. Taken together, our results indicate that improvements in skeletal muscle metabolism are not among the additional benefits of olmesartan that extend beyond blood pressure reduction.

Abstract
Objective Residual renal function (RRF) is an important predictor of outcome in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. Hypoalbuminemia was found to be an independent risk factor for the development of acute kidney injury. We investigated the possibility of an association between serum albumin levels and the development of iodine contrast media-induced nephropathy (CIN) in PD patients. Methods A total of 103 PD patients who underwent invasive angiographies with exposure to iodine contrast media (ICM) were reviewed retrospectively. All patients received 0.9% saline intravenously at a rate of 75 mL per hour for 12 hours prior, during, and 12 hours after exposure to ICM. Acetylcysteine was given orally at a dose of 600 mg twice daily, on the day before and on the day of exposure to ICM. The nonionic, low-osmolar contrast agent iopromide was used at a mean dose of 75.0±15.2 mL. The changes in RRF from baseline to 1 week and 4 weeks after exposure to ICM were recorded. Outcomes of patients with serum albumin levels <3.8 g/dL and those with serum albumin levels ≥3.8 g/dL were compared. A reduction >30% in RRF at 7 days after exposure to ICM was considered CIN. Results CIN developed in 27.2% (28/103) of patients. Of the 103 patients, 59.2% (61) had serum albumin levels <3.8 g/dL. Of those, 37.7% (23/61) developed CIN, compared with 11.9% (5/42) of those with serum albumin levels ≥3.8 g/dL (P=0.004). After adjustment for all tested variables in a logistic regression with a stepwise selection model, serum albumin level at exposure to ICM was found to be the most powerful predictor of the development of CIN (odds ratio =4.5; confidence interval =1.5–13.0; P=0.006). Conclusion PD patients with serum albumin levels <3.8 g/dL should be monitored carefully when exposed to ICM. Serum albumin level may be considered a potential therapeutic target in the prevention of CIN and preservation of RRF in PD patients.

Abstract
Residual renal function confers a survival benefit among dialysis patients thought to be related to greater volume removal and solute clearance. Whether the presence of residual renal function is protective or merely a marker for better health is not clear. The basic mechanisms governing the decline or persistence of residual renal function are poorly understood and few studies have examined the role of medical therapy in its preservation. Dialysis modality, inflammatory processes often associated with comorbid diseases (including diabetes mellitus and obesity), volume dysregulation, and vitamin D deficiency are predictive of residual renal function decline. We review potential mechanisms for preservation of remaining glomerular filtration rate among chronic dialysis patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEis) and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) are widely used in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients, yet controversy exists about their impact on residual kidney function. OBJECTIVES This review aimed to evaluate the benefits and harms of ACEis and ARBs for preserving residual kidney function in PD patients. SEARCH METHODS The Cochrane Renal Group's specialised register, Cochrane Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), MEDLINE, EMBASE (OvidSP interface), Chinese Biomedical Literature Database (CBM), China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and other resources were searched by applying a prespecified comprehensive search strategy. Date of last search: 01 May 2014. SELECTION CRITERIA Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) and quasi-RCTs comparing ACEis or ARBs with placebo, other antihypertensive drugs or each other in PD patients were included. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Screening, selection, data extraction and quality assessments for each retrieved article were carried out by two authors using standardised forms. Authors were contacted when published data were incomplete. Statistical analyses were performed using the random effects model and results expressed as risk ratio (RR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI). Heterogeneity among studies was explored using the Cochran Q statistic and the I² test, subgroup analyses and random effects meta-regression. MAIN RESULTS Six open-label studies (257 patients) were identified. One study compared ACEi with other antihypertensive drugs, three compared ARBs with other antihypertensive drugs, and two studies compared an ARB with an ACEi. Long-term use (≥ 12 months) of an ARB showed significantly benefit of preserving residual kidney function in continuous ambulatory PD (CAPD) patients (MD 1.11 mL/min/1.73 m², 95% CI 0.38 to 1.83), although there was no significant benefit when an ARB were used short-term (≤ six months). One study showed that compared with other antihypertensive drugs, long-term use (12 months) of the ACEi ramipril showed a significant reduction in the decline of residual kidney function in patients on CAPD (MD -0.93 mL/min/1.73m², 95% CI -0.75 to -0.11), and delayed the progression to complete anuria (RR 0.64, 95% CI 0.41 to 0.99). There was no significant difference in serum potassium, urinary protein excretion, Kt/V, weekly creatinine clearance and blood pressure for ARBs versus other antihypertensive drugs. Compared with other antihypertensive drugs, ramipril showed no difference in mortality and cardiovascular events. Compared with an ACEi, ARBs did not show any difference in residual kidney function.The selection bias assessment was low in four studies and unclear in two. Five studies were open-label; however the primary outcome (residual kidney function) was obtained objectively from laboratory tests, and were not likely to be influenced by the lack of blinding. Reporting bias was unclear in all six studies. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS Compared with other antihypertensive drugs, long-term use (≥ 12 months) of ACEis or ARBs showed additional benefits of preserving residual kidney function in CAPD patients. There was no significant difference on residual kidney function preservation between ARBs and ACEis. However, limited by the small number of RCTs enrolling small number of participants, there is currently insufficient evidence to support the use of an ACEi or an ARB as first line antihypertensive therapy in PD patients.

Abstract
In adults with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), the preservation of residual renal function (RRF) has been shown to be associated with decreased mortality and improved control of complications of chronic kidney disease. However, less is known on the benefits of RRF in the pediatric dialysis population. The purpose of this article is to review the clinical significance of RRF and to discuss strategies for the preservation of RRF in children with ESRD.

Abstract
ESRD treated with dialysis is associated with increased left ventricular hypertrophy, which, in turn, is related to high mortality. Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists improve survival in patients with chronic heart failure; however, the effects in patients undergoing dialysis remain uncertain. We conducted a multicenter, open-label, prospective, randomized trial with 158 patients receiving angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor or angiotensin type 1 receptor antagonist and undergoing peritoneal dialysis with and without (control group) spironolactone for 2 years. As a primary endpoint, rate of change in left ventricular mass index assessed by echocardiography improved significantly at 6 (P=0.03), 18 (P=0.004), and 24 (P=0.01) months in patients taking spironolactone compared with the control group. Rate of change in left ventricular ejection fraction improved significantly at 24 weeks with spironolactone compared with nontreatment (P=0.02). The benefits of spironolactone were clear in patients with reduced residual renal function. As secondary endpoints, renal Kt/V and dialysate-to-plasma creatinine ratio did not differ significantly between groups during the observation period. No serious adverse effects, such as hyperkalemia, occurred. In this trial, spironolactone prevented cardiac hypertrophy and decreases in left ventricular ejection fraction in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis, without significant adverse effects. Further studies, including those to determine relative effectiveness in women and men and to evaluate additional secondary endpoints, should confirm these data in a larger cohort.
