JMIR Mhealth Uhealth 2024; 12:e53355. [PMID: 39166440 DOI: 10.2196/53355] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/04/2023] [Revised: 02/12/2024] [Accepted: 06/10/2024] [Indexed: 08/23/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Hypertension is highly prevalent among patients undergoing hemodialysis, with a significant proportion experiencing poorly controlled blood pressure (BP). Digital BP management in this population has been underused. Objective This study aimed to explore the efficacy of a web-based home BP monitoring (HBPM) program in improving predialysis BP control and enhancing knowledge, perception, and adherence to HBPM among patients with hypertension undergoing hemodialysis. Methods A multicenter, open-label, randomized controlled trial was conducted at 2 hemodialysis units. Patients were randomly allocated in a 1:1 ratio to either the web-based HBPM program as the intervention group or to usual care as the control group over a 6-month period. The primary outcomes were the predialysis BP control rate, defined as less than 140/90 mm Hg, and the predialysis systolic and diastolic BP, assessed from baseline to the 6-month follow-up. Secondary outcomes included patient knowledge, perception, and adherence to HBPM, evaluated using the HBPM Knowledge Questionnaire, HBPM Perception Scale, and HBPM Adherence Scale, respectively. A generalized estimating equations analysis was used to analyze the primary outcomes in the intention-to-treat analysis. Results Of the 165 patients enrolled in the program (n=84, 50.9% in the web-based HBPM group and n=81, 49.1% in the control group), 145 (87.9%) completed the follow-up assessment. During the follow-up period, 11 instances of hypotension occurred in 9 patients in the web-based HBPM group, compared to 15 instances in 14 patients in the control group. The predialysis BP control rate increased from 30% (25/84) to 48% (40/84) in the web-based HBPM group after the 6-month intervention, whereas in the control group, it decreased from 37% (30/81) to 25% (20/81; χ22=16.82, P<.001; odds ratio 5.11, 95% CI 2.14-12.23, P<.001). The web-based HBPM group demonstrated a significant reduction after the 6-month intervention in the predialysis systolic BP (t163=2.46, P=.02; β=-6.09, 95 % CI -10.94 to -1.24, P=.01) and the predialysis diastolic BP (t163=3.20, P=.002; β=-4.93, 95% CI -7.93 to -1.93, P=.001). Scores on the HBPM Knowledge Questionnaire (t163=-9.18, P<.001), HBPM Perception Scale (t163=-10.65, P<.001), and HBPM Adherence Scale (t163=-8.04, P<.001) were significantly higher after 6 months of intervention. Conclusions The implementation of a web-based HBPM program can enhance predialysis BP control and the knowledge, perception, and adherence to HBPM among patients undergoing hemodialysis. This web-based HBPM program should be promoted in appropriate clinical settings.

[PMID: 38549547 PMCID: PMC10979187 DOI: 10.1002/clc.24259] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/25/2023] [Revised: 03/12/2024] [Accepted: 03/18/2024] [Indexed: 04/01/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The association between Interdialytic home blood pressure variability (BPV) and the prognosis of patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) largely unknown. HYPOTHESIS We proposed the hypothesis that interdialytic home BPV exert effect on cardiac and all-cause mortality among individuals undergoing MHD. METHODS A total of 158 patients receiving MHD at the hemodialysis unit of Wuhan Fourth Hospital between December 2019 and August 2020 were included in this prospective cohort study. Patients were divided into tertiles according to the systolic BPV (SBPV), and the primary endpoints were cardiac and all-cause death. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to assess the relationship between long-term survival and interdialytic home SBPV. In addition, Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to identify risk factors contributing to poor prognosis. RESULTS The risk of cardiac death and all-cause death was gradually increased in patients according to tertiles of SBPV (3.5% vs. 14.8% vs. 19.2%, p for trend = .021; and 11.5% vs. 27.8% vs. 44.2%, p for trend <.001). The Cox regression analysis revealed that compared to Tertile 1, the hazard ratios for all-cause mortality in Tertile 2 and Tertile 3 were 3.13 (p = .026) and 3.24 (p = .021), respectively, after adjustment for a series of covariates. CONCLUSIONS The findings revealed a positive correlation between increased interdialytic home SBPV and elevated mortality risk in patients with MHD.

Management of Patients With Kidney Disease Undergoing Bariatric Surgery: A Multidisciplinary Approach. Mayo Clin Proc 2024; 99:445-458.

Abstract
Bariatric surgery is increasingly recognized as a safe and effective treatment for obesity in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), including stages 4, 5, and 5D (on dialysis). Among the available surgical methods, sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is the most commonly performed weight loss procedure and is mainly done to facilitate kidney transplantation (KT). However, many KT candidates treated with SG remain on the transplant waiting list for months to years, with some never receiving a transplant. Therefore, appropriate candidates for SG must be selected, and post-SG management should address the unique needs of this population, with a focus on sustaining the metabolic benefits of surgery while minimizing potential side effects related to rapid weight loss which may inadvertently lead to muscle and bone catabolism. Multidisciplinary post-SG care in this population may lead to overall better health on the transplant waiting list, resulting in a higher percentage of post-SG patients ultimately receiving KT. To tailor the effective treatment for these patients, clinicians should acknowledge that patients with CKD stage 4-5D have different nutritional needs and are metabolically and psychosocially distinct from the general bariatric surgery population. Sarcopenia is highly prevalent and may be exacerbated by muscle catabolism following SG if not adequately addressed. Blood pressure, glucose, and bone metabolism are all affected by the CKD stage 4-5D, and therefore require distinct diagnostic and management approaches. Long-standing chronic disease, associated comorbidities, and low adherence to medical therapies require ongoing comprehensive psychosocial assessment and support. This paper aims to review and consolidate the existing literature concerning the intersection of CKD stage 4-5D and the consequences of SG. We also suggest future clinical outcome studies examining novel treatment approaches for this medically complex population.

Chinese Clinical Practice Guideline for the Management of "CKD-PeriDialysis"-the Periods Prior to and in the Early-Stage of Initial Dialysis. Kidney Int Rep 2022; 7:S531-S558. [PMID: 36567827 PMCID: PMC9782818 DOI: 10.1016/j.ekir.2022.10.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/04/2022] [Revised: 09/26/2022] [Accepted: 10/03/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
The National Experts Group on Nephrology have developed these guidelines to improve the management of pre-dialysis and initial dialysis patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) (two periods contiguous with dialysis initiation termed here 'PeriDialysis CKD'). The pre-dialysis period is variable, whereas the initial dialysis period is more fixed at 3 months to 6 months after initiating dialysis. The new concept and characteristics of 'CKD-PeriDialysis' are proposed in the guideline. During the CKD-PeriDialysis period, the incidence rate of complications, mortality and treatment cost significantly increases and the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) rapidly decreases, which requires intensive management. The guideline systematically and comprehensively elaborates the recommendations for indicators to be used in for disease evaluation, timing and mode selection of renal replacement therapy, dialysis adequacy evaluation, and diagnosis and treatment of common PeriDialysis complications. Finally, future research directions of CKD-PeriDialysis are proposed. CKD-PeriDialysis management is a difficult clinical issue in kidney disease, and the development and implementation of these guidelines is important to improve the management of CKD-PeriDialysis patients in China, which could ultimately improve survival rates and quality of life, and reduce the medical burden.

Impact of Overhydration on Left Ventricular Hypertrophy in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease. Front Nutr 2022; 9:761848. [PMID: 35284436 PMCID: PMC8916701 DOI: 10.3389/fnut.2022.761848] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/20/2021] [Accepted: 01/26/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
ObjectiveVolume overload is a frequent feature related to left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in dialysis patients, but its influence on patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) not on dialysis has not been accurately uncovered. This article was to examine the relationship between overhydration (OH) and LVH in patients with CKD not yet on dialysis.MethodsA total of 302 patients with CKD stages 1–4 were included. Participants were divided into different subgroups according to occurring LVH or not, and OH tertiles. Clinical and laboratory parameters were compared among groups. Spearman correlation analyses were adopted to explore the relationships of echocardiographic findings with the clinical and laboratory characteristics. Binary logistic regression models were performed to estimate the odds ratios (ORs) for the associations between OH and LVH. Restricted cubic splines were implemented to assess the possible non-linear relationship between OH and LVH. LVH was defined as left ventricular mass index (LVMI) >115 g/m2 in men and >95 g/m2 in women.ResultsOf the enrolled patients with CKD, the mean age was 45.03 ± 15.14 years old, 165 (54.6%) cases were men, and 65 (21.5%) cases had LVH. Spearman correlation analyses revealed that OH was positively correlated with LVMI (r = 0.263, P < 0.001). After adjustment for age, gender, diabetes, body mass index (BMI), systolic blood pressure (SBP), hemoglobin, serum albumin, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), and logarithmic transformation of urinary sodium and urinary protein, multivariate logistic regression analyses demonstrated that both the middle and highest tertile of OH was associated with increased odds of LVH [OR: 3.082 (1.170–8.114), P = 0.023; OR: 4.481 (1.332–15.078), P = 0.015, respectively], in comparison to the lowest tierce. Restricted cubic spline analyses were employed to investigate the relationship between OH and LVH, which unfolded a significant non-linear association (P for non-linear = 0.0363). Furthermore, patients were divided into two groups according to CKD stages. The multivariate logistic regression analyses uncovered that increased odds of LVH were observed in the middle and the highest tertile of OH [OR: 3.908 (0.975–15.670), P = 0.054; OR: 6.347 (1.257–32.054), P = 0.025, respectively] in patients with stages 1–2.ConclusionThese findings suggest that a higher level of OH was associated with a higher occurrence of LVH in patients with CKD not on dialysis, especially in patients with CKD stages 1–2.
