[PMID: 38839693 DOI: 10.1007/s00467-024-06409-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2024] [Revised: 04/08/2024] [Accepted: 05/11/2024] [Indexed: 06/07/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Accurate volume status assessment and dry weight achievement are the most challenging goals for a nephrologist. We aimed to evaluate the role of ultrasonographic parameters including lung ultrasound and inferior vena cava (IVC) measurements as practical methods of volume status assessment in children on hemodialysis by comparing them with established techniques, such as clinical evaluation and bioimpedance spectroscopy. METHODS A prospective cross-sectional study compared pre- and post-dialysis volume status using bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS) parameters and clinical data with ultrasonographic lung B-lines and IVC parameters in children on regular hemodialysis. RESULTS A total 60 children (mean age 9.4 ± 2.8 years) were enrolled. Twenty patients (33.3%) were clinically overloaded to varying degrees (17 patients had mild to moderate signs of fluid overload and 3 patients had moderate to severe signs of fluid overload). All other patients (66.7%) were clinically euvolemic. Sonographic parameters were significantly lower post-dialysis than pre-dialysis, including lung B-line count and IVC diameter. IVC collapsibility index mean was significantly higher post-dialysis than pre-dialysis. There was a significant correlation between the lung B-line count, IVC parameters, and BIS-measured overhydration both before and after hemodialysis. Nine patients had ≥ 8 B-lines post-dialysis, only three of them were hypertensive. CONCLUSIONS Clinical criteria alone are not specific for determining accurate fluid status in pediatric hemodialysis patients. Lung B-line score, IVC parameters, and BIS may be complementary to each other and to clinical data. Lung B-lines outperform IVC measurements and BIS in subclinical volume overload detection in pediatric hemodialysis patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous adult studies have yielded conflicting results regarding whether the presence (D +) or absence (D-) of peritoneal dialysate affects the accuracy of bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) measurements. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the accuracy of BIA data varies between D + and D- measurements in children. METHODS This cross-sectional study recruited chronic kidney disease stage 5 patients aged 3 to 18 years who received peritoneal dialysis. Body composition was assessed by multifrequency BIA, and values were compared between D + and D- measurements using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). RESULTS Fifty paired BIA measurements were collected from 18 patients with a mean age of 13.6 ± 4.1 years and a mean dialysate fill volume of 1,006 ± 239.7 ml/m2. Sixteen out of 17 BIA parameters (94.1%) exhibited excellent correlations between D + and D- measurements (ICC values = 0.954, 0.998). There was a trend of increased fluid status, including extracellular water, edema index, and overhydration, in D + measurements, with mean differences (95% CIs) of 0.5 (0.4, 0.6) L, 0.002 (0.001, 0.002), and 0.1 (0.1, 0.2) L, respectively. Soft lean mass and fat-free mass were higher in D + measurements, with mean differences (95% CIs) of 1.4 (1.2, 1.6), and 1.6 (1.4, 1.8) kg, respectively. In addition, patients older than 10 years had a stronger correlation between D + and D- measurements than younger patients. CONCLUSIONS A total of 94.1% of BIA parameters exhibited excellent correlations between D + and D- measurements, especially patients older than 10 years. We recommend that BIA measurements be collected from children regardless of the presence of peritoneal dialysate.

Abstract
The risk of cardiovascular disease remains exceedingly high in pediatric patients with chronic kidney disease stage 5 on dialysis (CKD 5D). Sodium (Na+) overload is a major cardiovascular risk factor in this population, both through volume-dependent and volume-independent toxicity. Given that compliance with a Na+-restricted diet is generally limited and urinary Na+ excretion impaired in CKD 5D, dialytic Na+ removal is critical to reduce Na+ overload. On the other hand, an excessive or too fast intradialytic Na+ removal may lead to volume depletion, hypotension, and organ hypoperfusion. This review presents current knowledge on intradialytic Na+ handling and possible strategies to optimize dialytic Na+ removal in pediatric patients on hemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD). There is increasing evidence supporting the prescription of lower dialysate Na+ in salt-overloaded children on HD, while improved Na+ removal may be achieved in children on PD with an individual adaptation of dwell time and volume and with icodextrin use during the long dwell.

Abstract
Malnutrition is frequent in children with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Apart from undernutrition and protein energy wasting (PEW), overnutrition prevalence is rising, resulting in fat mass accumulation. Sedentary behavior and unbalanced diet are the most important causal factors. Both underweight and obesity are linked to adverse outcomes regarding renal function, cardiometabolic risk and mortality rate. Muscle wasting is the cornerstone finding of PEW, preceding fat loss and may lead to fatigue, musculoskeletal decline and frailty. In addition, clinical data emphasize the growing occurrence of muscle mass and strength deficits in patients with fat mass accumulation, attributed to CKD-related wasting processes, reduced physical activity and possibly to obesity-induced inflammatory diseases, leading to sarcopenic obesity. Moreover, children with CKD are susceptible to abdominal obesity, resulting from high body fat distribution into the visceral abdomen compartment. Both sarcopenic and abdominal obesity are associated with increased cardiometabolic risk. This review analyzes the pathogenetic mechanisms, current trends and outcomes of malnutrition patterns in pediatric CKD. Moreover, it underlines the importance of body composition assessment for the nutritional evaluation and summarizes the advantages and limitations of the currently available techniques. Furthermore, it highlights the benefits of growth hormone therapy and physical activity on malnutrition management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fluid overload is associated with morbidity and mortality in children receiving dialysis. Accurate clinical assessment is difficult, and using deuterium oxide (D2O) to measure total body water (TBW) is impractical. We investigated the use of ultrasound (US), bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS), and anthropometry to assess fluid removal in children receiving maintenance hemodialysis (HD). METHODS Participants completed US, BIS, and anthropometry immediately before and 1-2 h after HD for up to five sessions. US measured inferior vena cava (IVC) diameter, lung B-lines, muscle elastography, and dermal thickness. BIS measured the volume of extracellular (ECF) and intracellular (ICF) fluid. Anthropometry included mid-upper arm, calf and ankle circumferences, and triceps skinfold thickness. D2O was performed once pre-HD. We assessed the change in study measures pre- versus post-HD, and the correlation of change in study measures with percent change in body weight (%∆BW). We also assessed the agreement between TBW measured by BIS and D2O. RESULTS Eight participants aged 3.4-18.5 years were enrolled. Comparison of pre- and post-HD measures showed significant decrease in IVC diameters, lung B-lines, dermal thickness, BIS %ECF, mid-upper arm circumference, ankle, and calf circumference. Repeated measures correlation showed significant relationships between %∆BW and changes in BIS ECF (rrm =0.51, 95% CI 0.04, 0.80) and calf circumference (rrm=0.80, 95% CI 0.51, 0.92). BIS TBW correlated with D2O TBW but overestimated TBW by 2.2 L (95% LOA, -4.75 to 0.42). CONCLUSION BIS and calf circumference may be helpful to assess changes in fluid status in children receiving maintenance HD. IVC diameter, lung B-lines and dermal thickness are potential candidates for future studies.

J Ren Nutr 2023; 33:193-200. [PMID: 34922812 DOI: 10.1053/j.jrn.2021.11.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/04/2021] [Revised: 10/16/2021] [Accepted: 11/03/2021] [Indexed: 01/25/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The body composition monitor (BCM) is a bioimpedance spectroscopy device, specifically developed for patients on hemodialysis (HD) to improve ultrafiltration (UF) programming, based on an objective assessment of the degree of overhydration (OH) at the start of HD. However, its acceptance in clinical practice remains limited because of concerns about the accuracy at the individual level. The aim of this study is to examine the performance of the BCM and to identify means of improvement. METHODS Precision of the OH estimate was assessed by 6 consecutive measurements in 24 patients on HD. Accuracy was examined in 45 patients, by comparing the change in OH (ΔOH) during HD with UF volume. Accuracy was considered acceptable if the volume error in individual patients was ≤0.5 L. RESULTS The OH estimate had an analytical precision of 1.0 ± 0.4%. The correlation between UF volume and ΔOH was moderate (Slope = 0.66, R2 = 0.44, P < .001) and indicated underestimation of UF volume, in particular for high UF volumes. Accuracy at individual level was highly variable. A volume error >0.5 L occurred in 44% of patients. Accuracy improved over the course of HD, with a decrease in total error range from 2.3 L in the first hour to 1.1 L in the final hour of HD. CONCLUSIONS The accuracy of BCM volume change estimates is highly variable and below requirements of daily practice. Improvement may be achieved by a switch to an end-of-HD measurement.

Abstract
We aimed to compare fluid status as determined by multifrequency bioimpedance spectroscopy (MF-BIS, Xitron 4200, USA) with that determined by the isotope dilution method among a contemporary Chinese cohort. Healthy Chinese subjects (HS, n = 30) were recruited in Zhengzhou. Hemodialysis (HD, n = 49) and peritoneal dialysis (PD, n = 48) patients were screened at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University. Total body water (TBW) and extracellular water (ECW) were measured by deuterium (TBWD) and bromide (ECWBr) dilution, respectively, and by MF-BIS using the Moissl equation (ME). The results of MF-BIS were compared to the reference method by Pearson analysis and Bland–Altman analysis in the three groups. The accuracy of overhydration as determined by MF-BIS was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. The TBWD and TBWME values were 34.67 ± 7.31 and 35.41 ± 5.76 L, 37.30 ± 8.58 and 37.02 ± 8.10 L, and 38.61 ± 10.02 and 38.44 ± 7.59 L in the HS, HD and PD groups, respectively. The ECWBr and ECWME values were 14.88 ± 3.33 and 15.53 ± 2.39 L, 16.24 ± 5.08 and 16.90 ± 3.93 L, and 19.08 ± 6.41 and 18.23 ± 3.61 L in the HS, HD and PD groups, respectively. The mean bias between TBWD and TBWME was −0.74 L, 0.28 L, and 0.17 L in the HS, HD and PD groups, respectively. The mean bias between ECWBr and ECWME was −0.65 L, −0.66 L, and 0.85 L in the HS, HD and PD groups, respectively. Compared to the ECWBr/TBWD ratio, the area under the ROC curve (AUC) of the ECWME/TBWME ratio for the diagnosis of overhydration was 0.76 and 0.68 in the HD and PD groups, respectively. In summary, MF-BIS with ME could be used in Chinese HD and PD patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fluid overload is a major factor in morbidity and mortality in dialysis patients. Whole-body bioimpedance spectroscopy (WB-BIS) is a noninvasive method for assessing fluid status. We hypothesized that fluid status measurement of changes in total body water (TBW), extracellular fluid (ECF), and intracellular fluid (ICF) by WB-BIS would correlate with the weight (Wt) changes before and after hemodialysis (HD) and the amount of ultrafiltration (UF) in pediatric HD patients. We also examined the relationship between the ECF percent of total body water (ECF%) and ECF/ICF ratio with the pre-HD systolic blood pressure percentile (SBP%ile). METHODS WB-BIS measurements were made both before and after HD on three separate occasions in each patient. Pre- and post-HD Wt, BP, and UF volumes were collected on the day of BIS measurement. RESULTS At total of 96 measurements were obtained from 16 HD patients. There were 6 females (mean age: 13.2 ± 4.5 yrs). UF correlated with changes in weight, TBW and ECF (p < 0.001) but not with ICF changes (p = 0.345). Pre-HD SBP%ile correlated with ECF%. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that WB-BIS can be used to monitor the fluid status in pediatric HD patients. The fluid that is removed from the patient during the HD treatment primarily comes from the ECF and not the ICF. Mobilization of fluid from the ICF appears to be delayed. Patients with significantly higher pre-HD ECF% and ECF/ICF ratio had higher pre-HD systolic BP. A higher resolution version of the Graphical abstract is available as Supplementary information.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pediatric patients on maintenance hemodialysis (HD) are at risk of both malnutrition and fluid overload. This pilot study aimed to assess correlates of normalized protein catabolic rate (nPCR) in adolescents on chronic HD, in particular fluid status markers. METHODS All patients aged 10-18 years on chronic HD in our center between 2017 and 2019 were enrolled. For each patient, mean nPCR was calculated and correlations with the following parameters investigated: dry body weight change in subsequent 3 months in kg (∆BW) and percentage of BW (∆BW%), change in body mass index (∆BMI), preHD systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP, DBP), residual urine output, biochemistry, and blood volume monitoring-derived first hour refill index (RI), calculated as ratio between ultrafiltration rate and reduction in relative blood volume in first hour of dialysis. RESULTS Seventy-nine nPCR determinations were collected in 23 patients, median age 14.8 years. nPCR significantly correlated with ∆BW, ∆BW%, ∆BMI, spKT/V, and preHD serum creatinine, and negatively correlated with age, DBP SDS (r=-0.466, p=0.025) and RI (r=-0.435, p=0.043). RI was significantly higher in patients with nPCR <1 than those with nPCR above this threshold: 3.2 (1.9-4.7) vs. 1.4 (0.7-1.8) ml/kg/h/% (p=0.021). At multivariable analysis, nPCR remained positively correlated with creatinine and spKt/V, and inversely correlated with RI. CONCLUSIONS nPCR is a significant predictor of weight change in adolescents on maintenance HD, and seems associated with creatinine and dialysis adequacy. Inverse correlation with RI suggests possible associations between malnutrition and fluid overload, but larger prospective studies are needed to confirm this. A higher resolution version of the Graphical abstract is available as Supplementary information.

Abstract
Nutrition in paediatrics has always been one of the most important factors for optimal growth. Children with chronic kidney disease (CKD) need special consideration for better long-term outcomes, including nutritional status, optimal height, and cognitive function. Nonetheless, there are many obstacles to overcome to attain optimal linear growth and nutritional status in children with CKD. This review highlights the need for tools to assess the growth parameters in CKD. In addition, recommendations for dietary intake play a major role in controlling electrolyte disturbances in patients with CKD. For example, it is still unclear whether it is better to restrict phosphate sources in inorganic, organic, or food additives. The review also summarises different factors such as fluid intake, route of feeding, and essential nutrients that require particular attention in paediatric patients with CKD. In summary, a multidisciplinary team is needed to devise individual nutritional plans to achieve the best outcome and improve the quality of life of patients.

[PMID: 33928452 DOI: 10.1007/s00431-021-04086-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/21/2021] [Revised: 04/16/2021] [Accepted: 04/21/2021] [Indexed: 10/21/2022]
Abstract
Although the number of studies evaluating methods to predict fluid overload is increasing, the assessment of fluid status in children on dialysis is still fraught with inaccuracies. We aimed to evaluate the predictive capability of lung ultrasounds and the inferior vena cava collapsibility index (cIVC) in predialysis overhydration in children with end-stage kidney disease. Ten children with end-stage kidney disease who were on an intermittent hemodialysis program were included. The hydration status of the patients was clinically evaluated. Moreover, 30 predialysis and 30 postdialysis lung ultrasound, cIVC, and bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS) measurements were performed. The median age of the participants was 14 (IQR, 13-15) years, and two (20%) were male. There was a strong positive correlation between the predialysis total number of B-lines and predialysis fluid overload (r=0.764, p<0.001). Additionally, there was a moderate negative correlation between predialysis cIVC and predialysis fluid overload (r=-0.599, p=0.002). Although the moderate correlation was determined between the postdialysis fluid overload and total number of B-lines, no correlation was determined using cIVC. Receiver operating characteristic curves demonstrated that the total number of B-lines and cIVC could successfully predict the predialysis fluid overload (relative hydration >7% derived from the BIS; AUROC 0.82 and 0.80, respectively). When both evaluations were combined, if either the total number of B-lines or the cIVC was outside the corresponding cutoff range (>10.5 and ≤23.5, respectively), it was detected in 16 out of 17 sessions (sensitivity 94%). If either one was outside the corresponding cutoff range (total number of B-lines >10.5 and cIVC ≤18.2), the severe predialysis fluid overload was predicted successfully in all eight (100%) sessions. Conclusion: Randomized controlled studies are needed to prove the reliability of the combined use of lung ultrasounds and cIVC in the assessment of predialysis fluid overload. What is Known: • The association of chronic fluid overload with increased morbidity and mortality raises the need for optimal determination of fluid overload in pediatric patients who are dialysis-dependent at a young age. • The linear correlation between the total number of B-lines on lung ultrasound images and fluid overload by weight has been shown. What is New: • This study evaluates the lung ultrasound and inferior vena cava collapsibility index combined in predicting fluid overload in dialytic children. • If either the total number of B-lines or the cIVC was outside the corresponding cutoff range (>10.5 and cIVC ≤18.2, respectively), the severe predialysis fluid overload was predicted successfully in all eight (100%) sessions.

Optimal current frequency for the detection of changes in extracellular water in patients on hemodialysis by measurement of total body electrical resistance. Clin Nutr ESPEN 2021; 43:302-307. [PMID: 34024531 DOI: 10.1016/j.clnesp.2021.03.035] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/10/2020] [Revised: 02/05/2021] [Accepted: 03/15/2021] [Indexed: 01/08/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Measurement of total body electrical resistance (TBER) to an alternating current is useful to monitor extracellular water (ECW) in patients on hemodialysis (HD). Which current frequency is preferable is subject of ongoing debate. The aim of this study was to quantify the implications of TBER measurements at current frequencies ranging from 0 to 1000 kHz for ECW monitoring in patients on HD. METHODS Bioimpedance spectroscopy measurements were performed in 39 patients on HD using the Body Composition Monitor (BCM, Fresenius Medical Care). TBER data at 5, 50, 200, 500, and 1000 kHz were compared with the extrapolated TBER at 0 kHz (TBER0) assessed by Cole-Cole analysis. Sensitivity of each TBER configuration was evaluated at individual level, by assessment of the smallest ultrafiltration (UF) volume that induced a significant change in TBER, i.e. a change in TBER ≥ 2.7%. RESULTS TBER precision was very high for all frequencies, with coefficients of variation of 0.25%-0.28%. Baseline TBER decreased with increasing current frequency. TBER was 2.9% lower at 5 kHz (P < 0.001), 11.6% lower at 50 kHz, and up to 22.0% lower at 1000 kHz. This pattern is attributed to a progressive increase in intracellular current conduction at higher frequencies. Sensitivity to volume changes induced by UF also decreased with increasing current frequency. At 0 and 5 kHz, an UF volume ≤ 0.5 L was sufficient to induce a significant increase in TBER in 87% of patients. This decreased to 69% at higher frequencies. CONCLUSION ECW monitoring by TBER requires measurement at 5 kHz or less to ensure optimal performance.

Clinical Relevance of Fluid Volume Status Assessment by Bioimpedance Spectroscopy in Children Receiving Maintenance Hemodialysis or Peritoneal Dialysis. J Clin Med 2020; 10:jcm10010079. [PMID: 33379300 PMCID: PMC7795279 DOI: 10.3390/jcm10010079] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2020] [Revised: 12/18/2020] [Accepted: 12/24/2020] [Indexed: 12/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS) is a noninvasive method used to evaluate body fluid volume status in dialysis patients, but reports on its effectiveness in pediatrics are scarce. We investigated the correlation between BIS and clinical characteristics and identified the changes in patients whose dialysis prescription was modified based on BIS. The medical records of children on maintenance dialysis who had undergone BIS between 2017 and 2019 were reviewed. Of the 49 patients, 14 were overhydrated, based on the >15% proportion of overhydration relative to extracellular water (OH/ECW) measured by BIS. Intake of ≥two antihypertensive medications was noted in the majority (85.7%) of children with fluid overload and only in 48.6% of those without fluid overload (p = 0.017). Elevated blood pressure despite medication use was significantly more common in patients with fluid overload than in those without fluid overload (78.6% vs. 45.7%, p = 0.037). Of the 14 overhydrated children, 13 (92.9%) had significant changes in body weight, OH/ECW, the number of antihypertensive drugs, left ventricular end-diastolic diameter, and cardiothoracic ratio after the change in dialysis prescription. BIS is a useful and noninvasive method to assess fluid status in dialysis children. Long-term follow-up and correlation with a more objective clinical indicator of fluid overload is necessary to verify the clinical effectiveness of BIS.

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 Estimation of total body water (TBW) is essential for clinical care. Objective Evaluation of changes in TBW by bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) in children and young adults with excessive weight. Design Data was collected in individuals aged 3–21 years with normal (n = 202) or excessive body weight (n = 133). The BIA results from individuals with normal weight were compared with two previously published studies in children by isotope dilution methods. Results Individuals with excessive weight had a higher mean TBW (27.87 L, SE 0.368) for height and age as compared to individuals with normal weight (23.95 L, SE 0.298), P<0.001. However, individuals with excessive weight had lower mean TBW (24.93 L, SE 0.37) for weight and body surface area (BSA) as compared to individuals with normal weight (26.94 L, SE 0.287), P<0.001. Comparison with two previously published studies showed no significant differences in mean TBW with one ((p = 1.00) but a significant difference with another study (p = 0.001). Conclusions Individuals with excessive weight had 16.5% higher mean TBW for height and age and 7.4% lower TBW for weight and BSA as compared to normal weight individuals. Our study validates the feasibility of data collection in pediatric outpatient setting by BIA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This 6-month prospective longitudinal study investigates the association between hydration status changes using bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS) and systolic blood pressure (SBP), pulse pressure (PP), and serum albumin (sAlb) changes in children on peritoneal dialysis (PD). METHODS Thirteen patients (median age: 12.58 years) were enrolled. Normal hydration, moderate hydration, severe overhydration, and dehydration were defined as -7% ≤ relative overhydration (Re-OH) < +7%, +7% ≤ Re-OH < +15%, Re-OH ≥ +15%, and Re-OH < -7%, respectively. Automated office blood pressure z-score, sAlb, and weight z-score were recorded. RESULTS Fifty-two Re-OH measurements were recorded: three in five, four in five, five in two, and seven in one patient, respectively. SBP was higher and sAlb lower in cases with severe overhydration (9 readings) (p < 0.001, p < 0.001), but distribution of these parameters did not differ between normal hydration/dehydration (28 readings) and moderate overhydration (15 readings) cases. In patients with hydration status change, SBP and PP were higher while sAlb lower in cases with higher hydration status level (p = 0.026, p = 0.05, and p = 0.109, respectively). In all patients, visit-to-visit SBP, PP, and sAlb changes were correlated to Re-OH changes (rs = 0.693, p < 0.001; rs = 0.643, p < 0.001; rs = -0.444, p = 0.008, respectively) but not to weight changes (rs = 0.052, p = 0.754; rs = 0.034, p = 0.838; rs = -0.156, p = 0.378, respectively). Visit-to-visit Re-OH changes, which were >+4% or <-4%, were linearly correlated to SBP (r = 0.858, p < 0.001), PP (r = 0.757, p < 0.001), and sAlb (r = -0.699, p = 0.002) changes. CONCLUSION In children on PD, longitudinal Re-OH changes are superior to weight changes in assessing volume-dependent variations of SBP, PP, and sAlb. Routine BIS application, rather than single BIS measurements, seems useful in the intra-patient monitoring of hydration status.

Abstract
Maintaining water homeostasis is fundamental for cellular function. Many diseases and drugs affect water balance and plasma osmolality. Water homeostasis studies in small animals require the use of invasive or terminal methods that make intracellular fluid volume and extracellular fluid volume (ECF) monitoring over time stressful and time consuming. We examined the feasibility of monitoring mouse ECF by a noninvasive method using time-domain nuclear magnetic resonance (TD-NMR). This technique allows differentiation of protons in a liquid environment (free fluid) from protons in soft tissues containing a majority of either small molecules (lean) or large molecules (fat). Moreover, this apparatus enables rapid, noninvasive, and repeated measurements on the same animal. We assessed the feasibility of coupling TD-NMR analysis to a longitudinal metabolic cage study by monitoring mice daily. We determined the effect of 24-h water deprivation on mouse body parameters and detected a sequential and overlapping decrease in free fluid and lean mass during water deprivation. Finally, we studied the effect of mineralocorticoids that are known to induce a transient increase in ECF but for which no direct measurements have been performed in mice. We showed, for the first time, that mineralocorticoids induced a transient ~15% increase in free fluid in conscious mice. TD-NMR is, therefore, the first method to allow direct measurement of discrete changes in ECF in conscious small animals. This method allows analysis of kinetic changes to stimuli before investigating with terminal methods and will allow further understanding of fluid disorders.

Abstract
Background: Current guidelines for the prescription of peritoneal dialysis dose rely on a single cut-off ‘minimal’ value of K t/ V. To apply this in the clinic, this requires an accurate estimation of V, the volume of urea distribution that equates to the total body water (TBW). This analysis sought to determine the accuracy to which V can be estimated. Methods: A literature search was undertaken of studies comparing TBW estimation using two or three of the following methods: isotopic dilution (gold standard), anthropometric equations (e.g. Watson formula) and bioimpedance analysis. Studies of healthy and dialysis populations of all ages were included. Mean differences and 95% limits of agreement (LOA) were extracted and pooled. Results: In 44 studies (31 including dialysis subjects), the between-method population means were typically within 1–1.5 L of each other, although larger bias was seen when applying anthropometric equations to different racial groups. However, the 95% LOA for all comparisons were consistently wide, typically ranging ±12–18% of the TBW. For a typical individual whose TBW is 35 L with a measured K t/ V of 1.7, this translates into a range of K t/ V 1.4–2.05. Conclusions: There are limitations to the accuracy of estimation of V which call into question the validity of applying a single threshold K t/ V value as indicative of adequate dialysis. This should be taken into account in guideline development such that if a target K t/ V was deemed appropriate that this should be expressed as a range; alternatively single targets should be avoided and dialysis dose should be determined according to patient need.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a life-limiting comorbidity in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). In childhood, imaging studies have demonstrated early phenotypic characteristics including increases in left ventricular mass, carotid artery intima-media thickness, and pulse wave velocity, which occur even in young children with early stages of CKD. Vascular calcifications are the signature of an advanced phenotype and are mainly found in adolescents and young adults treated with dialysis. Association studies have provided valuable information regarding the significance of a multitude of risk factors in promoting CVD in children with CKD by using intermediate endpoints of measurements of surrogate parameters of CVD. Dialysis aggravates pre-existing risk factors and accelerates the progression of CVD with additional dialysis-related risk factors. Coronary artery calcifications in children and young adults with CKD accumulate in a time-dependent manner on dialysis. Identification of risk factors has led to improved understanding of principal mechanisms of CKD-induced damage to the cardiovascular system. Treatment strategies include assessment and monitoring of individual risk factor load, optimization of treatment of modifiable risk factors, and intensified hemodialysis if early transplantation is not possible.

Abstract
Background: The development of imaging-based biomarkers has the potential to overcome major challenges in the accurate and reproducible assessment of disease severity and response to novel therapies in Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS). Understanding the advantages and limitations of existing non-invasive imaging modalities in dermatological disease will aid in the development of hypotheses and inform the design of future studies. Methods: A scoping review was performed using Medline, Embase, Web of Science Databases and evaluation of "gray literature" until June 30, 2019. Citations were examined according to pre-defined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Citations were reviewed by two independent reviewers. Narrative Synthesis was used to summarize data, structured by imaging modality. Results: Non-invasive imaging modalities, such as ultrasound, MRI, RCM, EIS, OCT, and MIT, were identified. Only ultrasound, MRI and MIT have been used in HS. Image modalities vary in image depth, resolution, cost, accessibility and correlation with known aspects of disease activity in HS. Discussion and Conclusion: The benefits and limitations of each imaging modality are products of cost, accessibility, validity and reliability. An additional hurdle to the development of image-based biomarkers in HS is a lack of established analytical benchmarks that can be correlated with existing biological, inflammatory and clinical parameters. This review has identified potential imaging biomarkers, as well as relevant analytical benchmarks that reflect the presence or absence of disease. Further investigation work is needed to analytically and clinically validate these imaging variables in order to identify potential imaging biomarkers in HS.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Brain natriuretic peptides, released in response to left ventricular stress, have a strong prognostic value in dialysis patients. However, their role in detecting abnormalities of fluid status is under debate; the relationship between volume status and brain natriuretic peptides (BNPs) differs among various studies. The aim of our study was to evaluate the clinical utility of N-terminal proBNP in the assessment of fluid status and cardiovascular risk in this setting. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study included 65 children: 10 pre-dialysis, 13 hemodialysis, 12 peritoneal dialysis patients and 30 healthy controls. Volume status was determined by multifrequency bioimpedance and NT-pro-BNP, as well as echocardiography to estimate the left ventricle structure and function. RESULTS The median log NT-proBNP values of hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis patients were 3.66 (2.05-4.90) and 3.57 (2.51-4.13) pg/ml, respectively, and significantly higher compared with the control group (p < 0.001, p < 0.001). On simple correlation, NT-proBNP was correlated with markers of volume overload and cardiac dysfunction. On multivariate regression analysis, only left ventricle mass index (β = 0.402, p = 0.003) and left atrium diameter (β = 0.263, p = 0.018) were independently associated with NT-proBNP (adjusted R 2 of the model: 0.707, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Our research suggested that NT-proBNP, which was correlated with LV systolic and diastolic dysfunction and fluid overload as assessed by bioimpedance, can be used to evaluate cardiovascular states in a chronic kidney disease (CKD) population. From the early stages of CKD, periodic monitoring of NT-proBNP levels may be essential for early detection of patients with high risk of cardiovascular events, and for taking preventive intervention as soon as possible.

Abstract
The gold standard for estimating blood alcohol content (BAC) after alcohol consumption is a blood sample analysis. An innovative technology to estimate BAC is based on impedance cardiography and bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS). This study investigated whether it is possible to estimate increasing blood alcohol levels during a drinking trial with bioimpedance measurement techniques. Twenty-one healthy volunteers were assigned to a test (ethanol) group (ETH) or a reference group (H2O). After baseline measurements, the ETH group ingested 120 ml of vodka, followed by a resorption phase of 50 min. Then, bioimpedance and breath alcohol measurements were performed. Thereafter, 60 ml of vodka was ingested and another resorption phase of 50 min was followed by bioimpedance and breath alcohol measurements. This procedure was repeated until alcohol levels exceeded 0.4 mg/l. The H2O group performed in the same way with water. For all measurements, extracellular resistance (Re) and the base impedance (Z0) were computed. Regarding BIS, several parameters differed significantly between the ETH and the H2O group. Re increased in ETH (p=0.005), but not in the H2O group when comparing the first and last measurements. Z0 also increased significantly in the ETH group (p=0.001). To conclude, with BIS measurements, it is possible to measure increasing blood alcohol levels.

Abstract
Dialyzer clearance of urea multiplied by dialysis time and normalized for urea distribution volume (Kt/Vurea or simply Kt/V) has been used as an index of dialysis adequacy since more than 30 years. This article reviews the flaws of Kt/V, starting with a lack of proof of concept in three randomized controlled hard outcome trials (RCTs), and continuing with a long list of conditions where the concept of Kt/V was shown to be flawed. This information leaves little room for any conclusion other than that Kt/V, as an indicator of dialysis adequacy, is obsolete. The dialysis patient might benefit more if, instead, the nephrology community concentrates in the future on pursuing the optimal dialysis dose that conforms with adequate quality of life and on factors that are likely to affect outcomes more than Kt/V. These include residual renal function, volume status, dialysis length, ultrafiltration rate, the number of intra-dialytic hypotensive episodes, interdialytic blood pressure, serum potassium and phosphate, serum albumin, and C reactive protein.

Abstract
Dysregulation of intravascular fluid leads to chronic volume overload in children with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). Sequelae include left ventricular hypertrophy and remodeling and impaired cardiac function. As a result, cardiovascular complications are the commonest cause of mortality in the pediatric dialysis population. The clinical need to optimize intravascular volume in children with ESKD is clear; however, its assessment and management is the most challenging aspect of the pediatric dialysis prescription. Minimizing chronic fluid overload is a key priority; however, excessive ultrafiltration is toxic to the myocardium and can precipitate intradialytic symptoms. This review outlines emerging objective techniques to enhance the assessment of fluid overload in children on dialysis and outlines evidence for current management strategies to address this clinical problem.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Alterations in body compositions are strongly associated with poor outcomes in end-stage renal disease patients. Hence, assessment of lean body mass is crucial for clinically monitoring these patients. The use of multifrequency bioimpedance spectroscopy measurements has also been advocated, but their usefulness in children is questioned. We investigated whether their application is appropriate for lean body mass measurement in pediatric patients receiving chronic dialysis. METHODS Lean body mass estimates as assessed by multifrequency bioimpedance spectroscopy and by deuterium dilution were obtained for 15 patients (mean age 10.9 ± 3.6 years). RESULTS Lean body mass (mean ± standard deviation) determined by bioimpedance was 24.2 ± 10.7 and 24.4 ± 10.3 kg by deuterium technique. Bland-Altman analysis showed a mean (±standard deviation) difference between the 2 methods of -0.25 ± 2.30 kg with 95% limits of agreement of -4.80 to 4.25 kg. In a multiple linear regression model, the hydration status was associated with measurement bias after adjusting for age, sex, weight, and body surface area. CONCLUSIONS Our results show a high level of agreement between measurements by bioimpedance and deuterium technique, but the limits of agreement were wide. These findings do not support the use of bioimpedance to individually assess lean body mass in pediatric dialysis patients with and without overhydration.

Abstract
The implications and management of fluid overload in pediatric critical care remain areas of ongoing controversy. Consensus definitions and methods of quantitating fluid overload continue to evolve, paralleling our growing understanding of fluid dynamics in critically ill patients. Fluid overload has been associated with adverse outcomes in some patient populations; guidelines for fluid management therapies are sparse and have little supporting data. Conflicting data for efficacy of therapies such as diuretic medications and renal replacement therapy are likely reflective of an incomplete understanding of the dynamic relationship between critical illness and fluid overload. Although some guidance regarding diuresis, continuous renal replacement therapy, and fluid balance goals is elucidated in the following chapters, it is important to recognize that further research into these management strategies is required before standardized approaches to management can be established.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Volume overload is a known risk factor for cardiovascular complications in children on hemodialysis (HD), but a measurable index of volume overload is still lacking. METHODS We propose a novel index of pre-HD volume overload based on blood volume (BV) monitoring, the first hour refill index (RI), calculated as the ratio between the ultrafiltration rate indexed for body weight during the first HD hour and the percent BV change at the first hour of the treatment. This parameter was retrospectively calculated in 121 sessions in 11 oligoanuric children and young adults on chronic HD, with median age 14.3 years (range 5.4-22.4), and its association with left-ventricular mass index, pre-HD blood pressure, and number of antihypertensive medications was evaluated. RESULTS The median RI was 2.07 ml/kg/h/%. There was a significant correlation between RI and median LVMI (r 0.66, p = 0.028), which was 53.4 g/m2.7 (45.7-64) in patients with a median RI > 2, and 36.6 g/m2.7 (24.9-47) in those with a median RI < 2 ml/kg/h/% (p = 0.01). The number of antihypertensive drugs per patient was significantly higher in patients with a RI > 2 than in those with a RI < 2 ml/kg/h/% (three vs one per patient; p = 0.02) while blood pressure was not significantly different between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS The ratio between the ultrafiltration rate per body weight and the BV change during the first hour of a HD session could be a promising index of refill capacity and pre-HD volume overload in children and young adults on chronic HD.

Abstract
Children with chronic kidney disease (CKD) feature significant challenges to the maintenance of adequate nutrition and linear growth. Moreover, the impaired nutritional state contributes directly to poor growth. Therefore, it is necessary to consider nutritional status in the assessment of etiology and treatment of sub-optimal linear growth. The major causes of poor linear growth including dysregulation of the growth hormone/insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) axis, nutritional deficiency, metabolic acidosis, anemia, renal osteodystrophy/bone mineral disease, and inflammation. This review summarizes the causes and assessment tools of growth and nutrition while providing a summary of state of the art therapies for these co-morbidities of pediatric CKD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a long-term condition requiring treatment such as conservative management, kidney transplantation or dialysis. To optimise the volume of fluid removed during dialysis (to avoid underhydration or overhydration), people are assigned a 'target weight', which is commonly assessed using clinical methods, such as weight gain between dialysis sessions, pre- and post-dialysis blood pressure and patient-reported symptoms. However, these methods are not precise, and measurement devices based on bioimpedance technology are increasingly used in dialysis centres. Current evidence on the role of bioimpedance devices for fluid management in people with CKD receiving dialysis is limited. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of multiple-frequency bioimpedance devices versus standard clinical assessment for fluid management in people with CKD receiving dialysis. DATA SOURCES We searched major electronic databases [e.g. MEDLINE, MEDLINE In-Process & Other Non-Indexed Citations, EMBASE, Science Citation Index and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL)] conference abstracts and ongoing studies. There were no date restrictions. Searches were undertaken between June and October 2016. REVIEW METHODS Evidence was considered from randomised controlled trials (RCTs) comparing fluid management by multiple-frequency bioimpedance devices and standard clinical assessment in people receiving dialysis, and non-randomised studies evaluating the use of the devices for fluid management in people receiving dialysis. One reviewer extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of included studies. A second reviewer cross-checked the extracted data. Standard meta-analyses techniques were used to combine results from included studies. A Markov model was developed to assess the cost-effectiveness of the interventions. RESULTS Five RCTs (with 904 adult participants) and eight non-randomised studies (with 4915 adult participants) assessing the use of the Body Composition Monitor [(BCM) Fresenius Medical Care, Bad Homburg vor der Höhe, Germany] were included. Both absolute overhydration and relative overhydration were significantly lower in patients evaluated using BCM measurements than for those evaluated using standard clinical methods [weighted mean difference -0.44, 95% confidence interval (CI) -0.72 to -0.15, p = 0.003, I2 = 49%; and weighted mean difference -1.84, 95% CI -3.65 to -0.03; p = 0.05, I2 = 52%, respectively]. Pooled effects of bioimpedance monitoring on systolic blood pressure (SBP) (mean difference -2.46 mmHg, 95% CI -5.07 to 0.15 mmHg; p = 0.06, I2 = 0%), arterial stiffness (mean difference -1.18, 95% CI -3.14 to 0.78; p = 0.24, I2 = 92%) and mortality (hazard ratio = 0.689, 95% CI 0.23 to 2.08; p = 0.51) were not statistically significant. The economic evaluation showed that, when dialysis costs were included in the model, the probability of bioimpedance monitoring being cost-effective ranged from 13% to 26% at a willingness-to-pay threshold of £20,000 per quality-adjusted life-year gained. With dialysis costs excluded, the corresponding probabilities of cost-effectiveness ranged from 61% to 67%. LIMITATIONS Lack of evidence on clinically relevant outcomes, children receiving dialysis, and any multifrequency bioimpedance devices, other than the BCM. CONCLUSIONS BCM used in addition to clinical assessment may lower overhydration and potentially improve intermediate outcomes, such as SBP, but effects on mortality have not been demonstrated. If dialysis costs are not considered, the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio falls below £20,000, with modest effects on mortality and/or hospitalisation rates. The current findings are not generalisable to paediatric populations nor across other multifrequency bioimpedance devices. FUTURE WORK Services that routinely use the BCM should report clinically relevant intermediate and long-term outcomes before and after introduction of the device to extend the current evidence base.

Abstract
Background Evaluation of patient’s dry weight remains challenging in chronic hemodialysis (HD) especially in children. Inferior Vena Cava (IVC) measurement was reported useful to assess fluid overload both in adults and children. Methods We performed a monocentric prospective study to evaluate the relation between predialytic IVC diameter measurements and hydration status evaluated by physicians and bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS) and between IVC measurements and persistent hypertension. Results Forty-eight HD sessions in 16 patients were analyzed. According to physicians, patients were overhydrated in 84.5% of dialysis sessions, 20.8% according to BIS, and 0%, 4.1% and 20.8% according to IVC inspiratory, expiratory and collapsibility index reference curves respectively. There was no correlation between relative overhydration evaluated by BIS and IVC measurements z-scores (p = 0.20). Patients whose blood pressure normalized after HD had a more dilated maximal IVC diameter before dialysis session than patients with persistent hypertension (median − 0.07SD [−0.8; 0.88] versus −1.61SD [−2.18; −0.74] (p = 0.03)) with an optimal cut-off of −0.5 SD. Conclusions In our study, IVC measurement is not reliable to assess fluid overload in children on HD and was not correlated with extracellular fluid volume assessed by BIS measurements. However, IVC measurements might be of interest in differentiating volume-dependant hypertension from volume-independant hypertension.
