J Ren Nutr 2024:S1051-2276(24)00094-3. [PMID: 38848802 DOI: 10.1053/j.jrn.2024.05.007] [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: 12/19/2023] [Revised: 03/11/2024] [Accepted: 05/30/2024] [Indexed: 06/09/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Low serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) is an accepted marker for adynamic bone disease which is characterized by increased morbidity and mortality in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients. In light of the known cross-sectional associations between PTH and malnutrition-inflammation syndrome, we aimed to examine the longitudinal associations between PTH with changes in nutritional and inflammatory parameters and clinical outcomes in MHD patients with low PTH. METHODS This historical prospective and longitudinal study analyzed a clinical database at a single hemodialysis center, containing the medical records of 459 MHD patients (mean age of 71.4 ± 12.9 years old, 171 women), treated between the years 2007-2020. Bone turnover, nutritional and inflammatory marker levels were recorded at 0, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, and 36 months followed by a median of 24 additional months of clinical observations. According to previous use of vitamin D analogs and/or calcium-sensing receptor agonists, the study participants were divided into treatment-related and disease-related groups. A linear mixed effects model was adjusted for baseline demographics and clinical parameters. RESULTS Of 459 MHD patients, 81 (17.6%) had PTH lower than 150pg/mL. Among them, 30 patients had treatment-related and 51 had disease-related low PTH. At baseline, MHD patients with treatment-related low PTH had a higher rate of diabetes compared to the disease-related group. In a linear mixed effects model, increased PTH over time was associated with decreased levels of alkaline phosphatase and C-reactive protein and with increased hemoglobin and albumin, but not the geriatric nutritional risk index at 3-year follow-up. The survival rate did not differ between the groups, with the risk of hospitalizations due to fractures being higher (HR: 4.04 with 95% CI: 1.51-10.8) in the disease-related group. Statistical significance of this association was abolished after adding C-reactive protein or alkaline phosphatase to the multivariate models. CONCLUSIONS Low serum PTH in MHD patients behaves differently depending on its cause, with a higher risk of fractures in the disease-related group. This association is dependent on inflammation. Our results should be verified in larger epidemiological studies.

Relationship Between High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol and Mortality in Elderly Hemodialysis Patients: Data From the Korean Society of Geriatric Nephrology Retrospective Cohort. J Ren Nutr 2024:S1051-2276(24)00090-6. [PMID: 38815662 DOI: 10.1053/j.jrn.2024.05.003] [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: 02/16/2024] [Revised: 04/20/2024] [Accepted: 05/13/2024] [Indexed: 06/01/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The association between high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels and mortality in elderly patients undergoing hemodialysis is not well established. Thus, this study investigated HDL levels and mortality in elderly Korean patients undergoing hemodialysis. METHODS We recruited 1860 incident hemodialysis patients aged greater than 70 years from a retrospective cohort of the Korean Society of Geriatric Nephrology. The primary outcome measure was all-cause mortality. RESULTS The mean age of the cohort was 77.8 years, and 1049 (56.4%) were men. When we grouped the patients into HDL cholesterol tertiles, the T1 group (HDL level <30 mg/dL in men and <33 mg/dL in women) had a higher proportion of patients with end-stage kidney disease due to diabetic nephropathy. During the median follow-up period of 3.1 years, 1109 (59.7%) deaths occurred. In a multivariable Cox regression model, the T1 group had a significantly higher risk of mortality (hazard ratio [HR], 1.28; 95% confidence interval, 1.10-1.50; P = .002) compared to the T3 group. A nonlinear analysis using a restrictive spline curve showed that low HDL cholesterol levels were associated with increased HR when HDL cholesterol levels were <40 mg/dL; however, there was no association between HDL cholesterol and mortality when HDL cholesterol levels were >40 mg/dL. Triglyceride/HDL ratio was not significantly associated with the risk of mortality (HR per 1 log increase, 1.08; 95% confidence interval, 0.99-1.18; P = .069). CONCLUSIONS Low HDL cholesterol levels are associated with an increased risk of mortality in elderly patients undergoing hemodialysis. However, there was no significant relationship between HDL cholesterol levels and mortality when levels were below 40 mg/dL. Therefore, low HDL cholesterol levels may be a useful risk factor for predicting mortality in elderly patients undergoing hemodialysis.

[PMID: 37615221 DOI: 10.1111/sdi.13173] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/03/2023] [Revised: 07/12/2023] [Accepted: 08/10/2023] [Indexed: 08/25/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Numerous factors impact the mortality and functional abilities of patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) receiving maintenance hemodialysis (MHD). We aimed to determine the mortality rate at 1 year of MHD, identify predictors of mortality, and assess functional impairments concerning activities of daily living (ADLs) and instrumental ADL (IADL). METHODS Our study was prospective, observational cohort study that enrolled patients receiving MHD. We collected demographic, clinical, and laboratory data. We also assessed ADLs and IADLs for daily performance. RESULTS Our study included 167 patients with a mean age of 51.6 ± 13.1 years, and 56.9% were male. Of these, 80 (47.9%) were diabetic, and 145 (86.8%) were hypertensive. The mortality rate after 1 year of MHD was 10.8%, and cardiovascular causes accounted for over 70% of total deaths. Sudden cardiac death was the most frequent cause (38.9%), followed by cardiogenic shock (22.2%). Older age and low parathormone levels (<300 pg/mL) were significantly associated with higher mortality rates. Mean ADL and IADL scores were 4.5 ± 1.3 and 6.3 ± 2.7, respectively. Eighteen (10.8%) and 56 (33.5%) patients had low ADL and IADL scores, respectively. Although statistically insignificant, a higher proportion of non-survivors exhibited low IADL and ADL scores. Older age, longer diabetes duration, and higher BMI levels were significantly associated with lower IADL scores. CONCLUSIONS Older age and suppressed PTH levels are predictors of mortality in ESRD patients receiving MHD. These patients require regular follow-ups to rule out cardiovascular morbidity. Functional impairment is prevalent but remains underdiagnosed in MHD patients. It should be monitored regularly to improve quality of life in ESRD.

Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:2006. [PMID: 38396685 PMCID: PMC10888856 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25042006] [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: 01/05/2024] [Revised: 02/01/2024] [Accepted: 02/05/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024] Open
Abstract
The management of hyperparathyroidism (intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) serum levels > 585 pg/mL), frequently focuses on the appropriate control of mineral and bone markers, with the decrease in serum and dietary phosphorus as two of the targets. We aimed to investigate the association between iPTH, serum phosphorus levels and dietary intake. This was a cross-sectional, multicenter, observational study with 561 patients on hemodialysis treatment. Clinical parameters, body composition and dietary intake were assessed. For the analysis, patients were divided into three groups: (a) iPTH < 130, (b) iPTH between 130 and 585 and (c) iPTH > 585 pg/mL. The association between PTH, serum phosphorus and dietary intake was analyzed using linear regression models. In the whole sample, 23.2% of patients presented an iPTH > 585 pg/mL. Patients with higher iPTH levels were those with longer HD vintage and lower ages, higher serum phosphorus, serum calcium, Ca/P product, albumin and caffeine intake, and a lower dietary intake of phosphorus, fiber, riboflavin and folate. Higher serum phosphorus predicted higher iPTH levels, even in the adjusted model. However, lower dietary phosphorus and fiber intake were predictors of higher iPTH levels, including in the adjusted model. Our results bring new data to the relationship between dietary intake and iPTH values. Despite higher serum phosphorus being observed in patients with HPTH, an opposite association was noted regarding dietary phosphate and fiber.

Association between Cognitive Impairment and Malnutrition in Hemodialysis Patients: Two Sides of the Same Coin. Nutrients 2023; 15:nu15040813.

Abstract
Cognitive impairment and malnutrition are prevalent in patients on hemodialysis (HD), and they negatively affect the outcomes of HD patients. Evidence suggests that cognitive impairment and malnutrition may be associated, but clinical studies to assess this association in HD patients are lacking. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between cognitive impairment evaluated by the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) score and nutritional status evaluated by the malnutrition inflammation score (MIS) in HD patients. We enrolled 84 HD patients (44 males and 40 females; age: 75.8 years (63.5-82.7); HD vintage: 46.0 months (22.1-66.9)). The MISs identified 34 patients (40%) as malnourished; the MoCa scores identified 67 patients (80%) with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Malnourished patients had a higher prevalence of MCI compared to well-nourished patients (85% vs. 70%; p = 0.014). MoCa score and MIS were negatively correlated (rho:-0.317; p < 0.01). Our data showed a high prevalence of MCI and malnutrition in HD patients. Low MoCA scores characterized patients with high MISs, and malnutrition was a risk factor for MCI. In conclusion, it is plausible that MCI and malnutrition are linked by common sociodemographic, clinical, and biochemical risk factors rather than by a pathophysiological mechanism.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fortification of rice with slaked lime is an acceptable and inexpensive way to combat calcium (Ca) deficiency. However, bioavailability of calcium after intake of slaked lime fortified rice is yet to be investigated. OBJECTIVE To measure the fractional absorption of Ca (FAC) from slaked lime fortified cooked rice. DESIGN We conducted an experimental study using stable isotopes of Ca to measure FAC during a single morning test meal containing rice fortified with slaked lime. Participants (n = 22) were given slaked lime fortified rice 3 times a day for 4 days. On the morning of the fifth day, the participants were served the same amount of rice as previous the 4 days at the breakfast test meal with an accurately measured amount of 44Ca stable isotope oral tracer followed by an intravenous injection of 42Ca. Urine was collected over the next 24 hours in 3 consecutive 8-hour pools. Fractional absorption of Ca was calculated from the measurement of the relative enrichment of the of each administered tracer 44Ca and 42Ca using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. RESULTS The mean Ca concentration in the test meal was 879.5 ± 152.9 µg/g with a coefficient of variance (CV) of 17.2%. Although Ca absorption efficiency decreases with higher calcium intake, the total amount of calcium absorbed from test meal using FAC = 0.391 calculated from the third 8-hour urine pool was 69.0 (CV of 15.6) mg. CONCLUSIONS We showed that one-fifth of daily calcium recommendation for women of reproductive age could be met by ingesting ∼200 g cooked slake fortified rice.

Abstract
Background:
Hemodialysis patients can experience problems, including protein-energy malnutrition, infection, disorders of the immune system, and inflammation. One etiology of malnutrition in hemodialysis is inadequate energy and protein intake, making patients need nutritional support, which can be fulfilled by local Indonesian foodstuffs.
Objective:
This paper aimed to review the potential health benefits of snails (Pila ampullacea), tempeh, and Moringa oleifera leaves as nutritional support for hemodialysis patients.
Methods:
In this review, the methodology used was based on comprehensive data searched from PubMed for literature review and technology benchmarking in making nutritional support for hemodialysis patients. An in-depth discussion, including the advantages and drawbacks of each foodstuff, is presented and outlined. Furthermore, key solutions are proposed and presented to overcome hemodialysis issues.
Results:
The mixture of snail, tempeh, and moringa leaves as nutritional support for hemodialysis patients shows a good combination of natural ingredients from animals and plants. The nutritional content of the three mixed ingredients is found to meet the dietary requirements of hemodialysis, which are high protein, calcium and antioxidants, low phosphorus, and a phosphorus-to-protein ratio of <16.
Conclusion:
The combination of snails, tempeh, and moringa leaves provides several potential health benefits in overcoming nutritional problems, decreased immune status, and inflammation of hemodialysis patients.

Abstract
Patients with chronic kidney disease or on maintenance dialysis usually have secondary hyperparathyroidism. It is extremely rare for these patients to have hypoparathyroidism. It can be occasionally seen in patients on maintenance dialysis or after transplant if they have undergone parathyroidectomy for tertiary hyperparathyroidism or advanced secondary hyperparathyroidism. Also, the results of hypoparathyroidism on serum phosphorus in these patients have been infrequently reported in the literature. Here, we present a patient with chronic kidney disease stage 3 who presented with hypophosphatemia and hypoparathyroidism from the malnutrition-inflammation complex syndrome.

Abstract
Background Hemodialysis (HD) treatment affects functioning, physical activity level, clinical biomarkers, and body composition. However, the association between these variables with functioning, considering International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) domains remains unclear. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the possible association between physical activity, biomarkers, and body composition with functioning in HD patients in reference to the ICF. Methods Eighty HD patients performed different tests grouped according to ICF domain: Body structure and function – handgrip strength (HS), 5-repetition sit-to-stand test, and 60-s sit-to-stand test (5-STS, 60-STS, respectively); Activity – short physical performance battery (SPPB); and Participation – participation scale questionnaire. Physical activity [Human Activity Profile questionnaire (HAP)], body composition (Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry), Parathormone (PTH), and alkaline phosphatase were analyzed as possible variables associated with ICF domains. Data analyses were performed using simple and multiple regression models adjusted for age, duration of HD, and diuresis volume. Results In the body structure and function domain, appendicular lean mass, PTH level, and age were associated with HS (R2 = 0.558); HAP and PTH were associated with 5-STS (R2 = 0.263); and HAP, PTH, duration of HD, and age were associated with 60-STS (R2 = 0.337). In the activity domain, HAP, PTH, alkaline phosphatase, duration of HD, age, and body fat were associated with SPPB (R2 = 0.689). Finally, only HAP was associated with the participation scale (R2 = 0.067). Conclusion Physical activity and PTH levels are determinant protagonists of functioning in all ICF domains in hemodialysis patients.

Abstract
Secondary hyperparathyroidism is commonly seen in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) due to hypocalcemia, hyperphosphatemia and low vitamin D levels and is associated with high-turnover bone disease. In contrast, some patients with advanced CKD, including those requiring dialysis (end-stage renal disease [ESRD]), develop adynamic bone disease with features of low-turnover bone disease. Low serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) has been used as a biochemical marker of adynamic bone disease. Low PTH levels may not necessarily be due to adynamic bone disease but could be a manifestation of the malnutrition inflammation complex syndrome (MICS). The optimal management of hypoparathyroidism associated with MICS is not well known. Currently, there is insufficient evidence to suggest if there is any role in improving nutritional and inflammatory status among patients with CKD and MICS. Furthermore, it also remains unclear whether these changes will help address low PTH levels seen in these patients. We report three patients with advanced CKD who had very low PTH levels possibly attributed to MICS. In addition, we briefly discuss other characteristics and pathophysiology of MICS.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a state of bone fragility with reduced skeletal resistance to trauma, and consequently increased risk of fracture. A wide range of conditions, including traditional risk factors, lifestyle choices, diseases and their treatments may contribute to bone fragility. It is therefore not surprising that the multi-morbid patient with chronic kidney disease (CKD) is at a particularly high risk. CKD is associated with reduced bone quantity, as well as impaired bone quality. Bone fragility in CKD is a composite of primary osteoporosis, accumulation of traditional and uremia-related risk factors, assaults brought on by systemic disease, and detrimental effects of drugs. Some risk factors are modifiable and represent potential targets for intervention. This review provides an overview of the heterogeneity of bone fragility in CKD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels have been reported to be associated with infectious mortality in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. Peritonitis is the most common and fatal infectious complication, resulting in technique failure, hospital admission and mortality. Whether PTH is associated with peritonitis episodes remains unclear. METHODS We examined the association of PTH levels and peritonitis incidence in a 7-year cohort of 270 incident PD patients who were maintained on dialysis between January 2012 and December 2018 using Cox proportional hazard regression analyses. Patients were categorized into three groups by serum PTH levels as follows: low-PTH group, PTH < 150 pg/mL; middle-PTH group, PTH 150-300 pg/mL; high-PTH group, PTH > 300 pg/mL. RESULTS During a median follow-up of 29.5 (interquartile range 16-49) months, the incidence rate of peritonitis was 0.10 episodes per patient-year. Gram-positive organisms were the most common causative microorganisms (36.2%), and higher percentage of Gram-negative organisms was noted in patients with low PTH levels. Low PTH levels were associated with older age, higher eGFR, higher hemoglobin, calcium levels and lower phosphate, alkaline phosphatase levels. After multivariate adjustment, lower PTH levels were identified as an independent risk factor for peritonitis episodes [hazard ratio 1.643, 95% confidence interval 1.014-2.663, P = 0.044]. CONCLUSIONS Low PTH levels are independently associated with peritonitis in incident PD patients.

Aberrant serum parathyroid hormone, calcium, and phosphorus as risk factors for peritonitis in peritoneal dialysis patients. Sci Rep 2021; 11:1171. [PMID: 33441921 PMCID: PMC7806837 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-80938-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/14/2020] [Accepted: 12/28/2020] [Indexed: 11/08/2022] Open
Abstract
Identifying modifiable risk factors of peritoneal dialysis (PD)-related peritonitis is of clinical importance in patient care. Mineral bone disease (MBD) has been associated with mortality and morbidity in end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) patients. However, its influence on PD related peritonitis due to altered host immunity remains elusive. This study investigated whether abnormal biomarkers of MBD are associated with the development of peritonitis in patients undergoing maintenance PD. We conducted a retrospective observational cohort study, analysing data derived from a nationwide dialysis registry database in Taiwan, from 2005 to 2012. A total of 5750 ESKD patients commencing PD therapy during this period were enrolled and followed up to 60 months or by the end of the study period. The patients were stratified based on their baseline serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels, calcium (Ca) levels or phosphorus (P) levels, respectively or in combinations. The primary outcome was the occurrence of first episode of peritonitis, and patient outcomes such as deaths, transfer to haemodialysis or receiving renal transplantation were censored. Peritonitis-free survival and the influence of PTH, Ca, P (individual or in combination) on the peritonitis occurrence were analysed. A total of 5750 PD patients was enrolled. Of them, 1611 patients experienced their first episode of peritonitis during the study period. Patients with low PTH, high Ca or low P levels, respectively or in combination, had the lowest peritonitis-free survival. After adjusting for age, sex and serum albumin levels, we found that the combinations of low PTH levels with either high Ca levels or low/normal P levels were significant risk factors of developing peritonitis. Abnormal mineral bone metabolism in maintenance PD patients with low serum PTH levels, in combination with either high Ca levels or low/normal P levels, could be novel risk factors of PD-related peritonitis.

Association Between Secondary Hyperparathyroidism and Body Composition in Pediatric Patients With Moderate and Advanced Chronic Kidney Disease. Front Pediatr 2021; 9:702778. [PMID: 34458210 PMCID: PMC8397458 DOI: 10.3389/fped.2021.702778] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2021] [Accepted: 07/19/2021] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective: This single center cross-sectional study aims to investigate the association between secondary hyperparathyroidism and body composition in pediatric patients with moderate (stage 3) and advanced (stage 4-5) chronic kidney disease (CKD). Methods: 61 patients (median age: 13.4 years) were included. Body composition indices, including lean tissue index (LTI) and fat tissue index (FTI), were measured using multi-frequency bio-impedance spectroscopy. Muscle wasting was defined as LTI adjusted to height-age (HA) z-score < -1.65 SD and high adiposity as FTI z-score > 1.65 SD. Serum mineral metabolism parameters, including serum intact parathormone (iPTH), calcium, phosphorus and 25-hydroxyvitamin D, as well as serum leptin were measured in each patient. In advanced CKD patients, the mean values of serum mineral laboratory parameters of the 6 months prior to body composition assessment were recorded, and alfacalcidol index, defined as weekly alfacalcidol dose (mcg/week) per pg/ml of iPTH × 1,000, was calculated. Results: In moderate CKD (31 patients), high iPTH (>90 ng/ml) was observed in 10 (32.3%) patients and was associated with higher FTI z-score (p = 0.022). Moreover, serum iPTH was negatively correlated to LTI HA z-score (rs = -0.486, p = 0.006), and positively correlated to serum leptin levels (rs = 0.369, p = 0.041). The positive correlation between FTI z-score and iPTH (rs = 0.393, p = 0.039) lost significance after adjustment for serum leptin. iPTH was positively associated with high adiposity (12 patients, 38.7%) after adjustment for the other mineral metabolism parameters (OR 1.023, 95% CI 1.002-1.045, p = 0.028). In advanced CKD (30 patients), no significant correlation was observed between iPTH and body composition indices and serum leptin levels. Eleven (36.7%) patients with muscle wasting presented lower alfacalcidol index (p = 0.017). Alfacalcidol index ≤ 24 was strongly associated with muscle wasting after adjustment for CKD stage and other mineral metabolism parameters (OR 7.226, 95% CI 1.150-45.384, p = 0.035). Conclusion: Secondary hyperparathyroidism is associated with high adiposity in moderate but not in advanced CKD, with leptin acting as a potential contributive factor. In advanced CKD, targeting higher alfacalcidol weekly dose per each unit of serum PTH seems beneficial for preventing muscle wasting.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to investigate a possible association between changes in low parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels and cardiac function decline in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients. METHODS A total of 150 MHD patients were included and followed for 24 months. The enrolled patients were divided into 3 groups based on their PTH status at baseline and 24 months. Factors potentially involved in changes in the PTH level and cardiac function were compared using multivariate logistic regression analysis. RESULTS At 24 months, the presence of low PTH levels increased by 26.7%. The main independent factors for low PTH levels were a low BMI, hemoglobin, and serum albumin and high serum calcium (p < 0.05). A persistently low PTH level at 24 months was associated with a decrease in the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and increase in valvular calcification (p < 0.05). Additionally, a decrease in PTH levels from normal or high to low values was associated with a decrease in LVEF and cardiac output (CO) and an increase in valvular calcification (p < 0.05). Furthermore, compared with those of the persistently low PTH level group, LVEF values were lower at 24 months in the group with a decrease from high/normal to low PTH level (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION Persistently low PTH levels and changes in the PTH level from high/normal to low were associated with cardiac function decline in MHD patients. Moreover, a PTH level change from high/normal to low showed a stronger correlation with cardiac function decline.

Abstract
Adipose tissue is nowadays considered as a major endocrine organ, which apart from controlling lipid metabolism, displays a significant role in energy expenditure, food intake and in the regulation of various systemic physiological processes. Adipose derived pro-inflammatory cytokines and adipokines, particularly leptin and adiponectin, provide inter-communication of adipose tissue with various metabolic pathways, ultimately resulting in a complex network of interconnected organ systems. Recent clinical and experimental research has been focused on exploring the direct interaction between adipokine profile and elements of mineral metabolism, including parathormone (PTH), fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF23) and calcitriol. The emerging crosstalk between adipose tissue and calcium and phosphorus homeostasis suggests that metabolic disorders from one system may directly affect the other and vice versa. It is current knowledge that fat metabolism disturbance, commonly encountered in obese individuals, influences the expression of calciotriopic hormones in general population, while various clinical trials attempting to successfully achieve body fat loss by modulating mineral profile have been published. In chronic kidney disease (CKD) state, there is an increasing evidence suggesting that mineral disorders, influence adipose tissue and linked endocrine function. On the contrary, the impact of disturbed fat metabolism on CKD related mineral disorders has been also evocated in clinical studies. Recognizing the pathogenetic mechanisms of communication between adipose tissue and mineral balance is critical for understanding the effects of metabolic perturbations from the one system to the other and for identifying possible therapeutic targets in case of disrupted homeostasis in one of the two connected systems. To that end, this review aims to enlighten the recent advances regarding the interplay between mineral metabolism, fat mass and adipokine profile, based on in vitro, in vivo and clinical studies, in general population and in the course of CKD.

Abstract
AIM In peritoneal dialysis (PD), fluid overload is frequent and associated with cardiac dysfunction and mortality. As it is considered a modifiable risk factor, we wished to describe clinical determinants of fluid overload in a longitudinal cohort of PD outpatients. METHODS We consecutively included PD outpatients treated with continuous ambulatory PD (CAPD) or automated PD (APD) attending for their routine clinical visit at a single tertiary hospital. Extracellular water (ECW) to total body water (TBW) ratio was measured by multifrequency bioelectrical impedance. Peritoneal transport characteristics were measured with a standard peritoneal equilibration test. Patients had a second follow-up visit with the same measurements. Univariable and multivariable mixed linear regression models were conducted with ECW/TBW as the dependent variable. RESULTS A total of 155 patients were enrolled with a median follow-up time of 12 months. Median dialysis vintage was 13.5 ± 3.4 months. Overall mean value of ECW/TBW was 39.3% ± 1.1. In multivariable analysis, factors positively associated with ECW/TBW were: Age (P < .001), diabetes (P = .002), and SBP (P = .028). Factors negatively associated with ECW/TBW were: nPNA (P = .001), serum albumin (P < .001) and PTH (P = .014). None of the considered variable showed a significant interaction with time. CONCLUSION We confirm a high prevalence of fluid overload in PD patients and show that it is strongly associated with older age, diabetes, hypoalbuminemia and protein energy wasting. In contrast, when PD prescription is tailored to patient's individual characteristics, residual renal function, PD modality and peritoneal characteristics are not decisive in controlling volume status.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Higher serum alkaline phosphatase (sALP) levels associate with a poor prognosis in maintenance hemodialysis patients. However, little is known about the meaning of lower sALP in this population. We hypothesized that lower sALP concentrations may express nutritional status and survival accordingly. METHODS A retrospective, longitudinal cohort study of a clinical database containing the medical records of 554 patients (367 men and 187 women, mean age 67.6 ± 14.2 years) receiving maintenance hemodialysis from November 2007 to July 2018 in a single center was conducted. sALP, nutritional, bone turnover, and inflammatory marker levels were recorded at 0, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30,and 36 months followed by 58 additional months of clinical observations. RESULTS The median sALP level was 90.0 (71.0-125.8) U/L. In a linear mixed effects model adjusted for baseline demographics and clinical parameters, each 1.0 U/L increase above the mean sALP at baseline was associated with 0.7% slower rate of decline in geriatric nutritional risk index per 3 years (P = .02 for sALP × time interaction). sALP remained associated with the rate of change in geriatric nutritional risk index, even after controlling for C-reactive protein and intact parathyroid hormone levels. For each 1.0 U/L increase in sALP over time, the fully adjusted all-cause mortality hazard ratio using Cox models with the time-varying risk effect was 0.996 (95% confidence interval 0.993-1.000, P = .04). CONCLUSIONS Increasing longitudinal levels of sALP associate with improved nutritional status and lower mortality rates. sALP can be used as an integrated marker, combining the properties of the nutritional marker, the marker of mineral-bone disease and inflammation, according to its levels.

Low parathyroid hormone level predicts infection-related mortality in incident dialysis patients: a prospective cohort study. Korean J Intern Med 2020; 35:160-170.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is an important factor influencing immunologic dysfunction, but the effect of PTH level on infection-related outcomes remains unclear in incident dialysis. METHODS We evaluated a multicenter prospective cohort study of 1,771 incident dialysis patients (1,260 hemodialysis and 511 peritoneal dialysis) in Korea. Patients were divided into three groups based on serum intact PTH (iPTH) level. The primary outcomes were all-cause and infection-related mortality and multivariate Cox regression analysis was performed to evaluate the role of iPTH in all-cause and infection-related mortality. RESULTS During the follow-up period of 27.3 months, 175 patients (9.9%) died, and infection-related death represented 20% of all-cause mortality. Both all-cause mortality and infection-related mortality rates (p < 0.001 and p = 0.003, by logrank) were markedly higher in patients with serum iPTH < 150 pg/mL than in the other groups. Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that patients with serum iPTH < 150 pg/mL remained at higher risk for infection-related mortality than patients in the target range of 150 ≤ iPTH < 300 pg/mL, after adjusting for confounding variables (hazard ratio [HR], 2.52; 95% confidence interval, 1.06 to 5.99; p = 0.04). The HR of infection-related mortality in patients with serum iPTH < 150 pg/mL was significantly higher in patients with low serum phosphorus, low Ca × P product, low serum alkaline phosphatase and those older than 65 years. CONCLUSION Low serum iPTH level is an independent predictor of infection-related mortality in incident dialysis patients.

Abstract
Background In developing countries, maternal undernutrition is the major intrauterine environmental factor contributing to fetal development and adverse pregnancy outcomes. Maternal nutrition restriction (MNR) in gestation has proven to impact overall growth, bone development, and proliferation and metabolism of mesenchymal stem cells in offspring. However, the efficient method for elucidation of fetal bone development performance through maternal bone metabolic biochemical markers remains elusive. Methods We adapted goats to elucidate fetal bone development state with maternal serum bone metabolic proteins under malnutrition conditions in mid- and late-gestation stages. We used the experimental data to create 72 datasets by mixing different input features such as one-hot encoding of experimental conditions, metabolic original data, experimental-centered features and experimental condition probabilities. Seven Machine Learning methods have been used to predict six fetal bone parameters (weight, length, and diameter of femur/humerus). Results The results indicated that MNR influences fetal bone development (femur and humerus) and fetal bone metabolic protein levels (C-terminal telopeptides of collagen I, CTx, in middle-gestation and N-terminal telopeptides of collagen I, NTx, in late-gestation), and maternal bone metabolites (low bone alkaline phosphatase, BALP, in middle-gestation and high BALP in late-gestation). The results show the importance of experimental conditions (ECs) encoding by mixing the information with the serum metabolic data. The best classification models obtained for femur weight (Fw) and length (FI), and humerus weight (Hw) are Support Vector Machines classifiers with the leave-one-out cross-validation accuracy of 1. The rest of the accuracies are 0.98, 0.946 and 0.696 for the diameter of femur (Fd), diameter and length of humerus (Hd, Hl), respectively. With the feature importance analysis, the moving averages mixed ECs are generally more important for the majority of the models. The moving average of parathyroid hormone (PTH) within nutritional conditions (MA-PTH-experim) is important for Fd, Hd and Hl prediction models but its removal for enhancing the Fw, Fl and Hw model performance. Further, using one feature models, it is possible to obtain even more accurate models compared with the feature importance analysis models. In conclusion, the machine learning is an efficient method to confirm the important role of PTH and BALP mixed with nutritional conditions for fetal bone growth performance of goats. All the Python scripts including results and comments are available into an open repository at https://gitlab.com/muntisa/goat-bones-machine-learning.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prognostic impact of nutrition and chronic kidney disease (CKD) complications has already been described in elderly haemodialysis patients but their relative weights on risk of death remain uncertain. Using structural equation models (SEMs), we aimed to model a single variable for nutrition, each CKD complication and cardiovascular comorbidities to compare their relative impact on elderly haemodialysis patients' survival. METHODS This prospective study recruited 3165 incident haemodialysis patients ≥75 years of age from 178 French dialysis units. Using SEMs, the following variables were computed: nutritional status, anaemia, mineral and bone disorder and cardiovascular comorbidities. Systolic blood pressure was also used in the analysis. Survival analyses used Poisson models. RESULTS The population average age was 81.9 years (median follow-up 1.51 years, 35.5% deaths). All variables were significantly associated with mortality by univariate analysis. Nutritional status was the variable most strongly associated with mortality in the multivariate analysis, with a negative prognostic impact of low nutritional markers {incidence rate ratio [IRR] 1.42 per 1 standard deviation [SD] decrement [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.32-1.53]}. The 'cardiovascular comorbidities' variable was the second variable associated with mortality [IRR 1.19 per 1 SD increment (95% CI 1.11-1.27)]. A trend towards low intact parathyroid hormone and high serum calcium and low values of systolic blood pressure were also associated with poor survival. The variable 'anaemia' was not associated with survival. CONCLUSIONS These findings should help physicians prioritize care in elderly haemodialysis patients with CKD complications, with special focus on nutritional status.

Abstract
Secondary hyperparathyroidism develops in CKD due to a combination of vitamin D deficiency, hypocalcemia, and hyperphosphatemia, and it exists in nearly all patients at the time of dialysis initiation. There is insufficient data on whether to prefer vitamin D analogs compared with calcimimetics, but the available evidence suggests advantages with combination therapy. Calcium derangements, patient adherence, side effects, and cost limit the use of these agents. When parathyroid hormone level persists >800 pg/ml for >6 months, despite exhaustive medical interventions, monoclonal proliferation with nodular hyperplasia is likely present along with decreased expression of vitamin D and calcium-sensing receptors. Hence, surgical parathyroidectomy should be considered, especially if concomitant disorders exist, such as persistent hypercalcemia or hyperphosphatemia, tissue or vascular calcification including calciphylaxis, and/or worsening osteodystrophy. Parathyroidectomy is associated with 15%-57% greater survival in patients on dialysis, and it also improves hypercalcemia, hyperphosphatemia, tissue calcification, bone mineral density, and health-related quality of life. The parathyroidectomy rate in the United States declined to approximately seven per 1000 dialysis patient-years between 2002 and 2011 despite an increase in average parathyroid hormone levels, reflecting calcimimetics introduction and uncertainty regarding optimal parathyroid hormone targets. Hospitalization rates are 39% higher in the first postoperative year. Hungry bone syndrome occurs in approximately 25% of patients on dialysis, and profound hypocalcemia requires high doses of oral and intravenous calcium along with calcitriol supplementation. Total parathyroidectomy with autotransplantation carries a higher risk of permanent hypocalcemia, whereas risk of hyperparathyroidism recurrence is higher with subtotal parathyroidectomy. Given favorable long-term outcomes from observational parathyroidectomy cohorts, despite surgical risk and postoperative challenges, it is reasonable to consider parathyroidectomy in more patients with medically refractory secondary hyperparathyroidism.

Abstract
The history of dialysis and diet can be viewed as a series of battles waged against potential threats to patients' lives. In the early years of dialysis, potassium was identified as "the killer", and the lists patients were given of forbidden foods included most plant-derived nourishment. As soon as dialysis became more efficient and survival increased, hyperphosphatemia, was identified as the enemy, generating an even longer list of banned aliments. Conversely, the "third era" finds us combating protein-energy wasting. This review discusses four questions and four paradoxes, regarding the diet-dialysis dyad: are the "magic numbers" of nutritional requirements (calories: 30-35 kcal/kg; proteins > 1.2 g/kg) still valid? Are the guidelines based on the metabolic needs of patients on "conventional" thrice-weekly bicarbonate dialysis applicable to different dialysis schedules, including daily dialysis or haemodiafiltration? The quantity of phosphate and potassium contained in processed and preserved foods may be significantly different from those in untreated foods: what are we eating? Is malnutrition one condition or a combination of conditions? The paradoxes: obesity is associated with higher survival in dialysis, losing weight is associated with mortality, but high BMI is a contraindication for kidney transplantation; it is difficult to limit phosphate intake when a patient is on a high-protein diet, such as the ones usually prescribed on dialysis; low serum albumin is associated with low dialysis efficiency and reduced survival, but on haemodiafiltration, high efficiency is coupled with albumin losses; banning plant derived food may limit consumption of "vascular healthy" food in a vulnerable population. Tailored approaches and agreed practices are needed so that we can identify attainable goals and pursue them in our fragile haemodialysis populations.

Abstract
Background Diabetes is the leading cause of end stage renal disease (ESRD) worldwide. Objectives We compared the clinical outcomes in diabetic patients on hemodialysis (HD) with non-diabetics. Patients and Methods Adult maintenance HD patients (N= 532) from 9 HD facilities were enrolled to this prospective cohort study in September 2012. Causes of death, hospitalization, and HD exit were recorded in a median 28 months follow up period. Results Forty-one percent of patients were diabetic. Diabetic patients compared to non-diabetics had significantly higher age (62.2 ± 11.2 versus 53.1 ± 16.7 years), lower dialysis duration (median: 23 versus 30 months), more cardiovascular comorbidities (64% versus 28%) , higher C-reactive protein (CRP) levels (median: 3.80 versus 2.25 mg/L), lower serum albumin (3.86 ± 0.35 versus 3.93 ± 0.35 g/dL), lower intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) (median: 272 versus 374 ρg/mL), higher serum triglyceride (167 ± 91 versus 139 ± 67 mg/dL) and low density lipoprotein (LDL) (82.5 ± 24.5 versus 77.5 ± 23.8 mg/dL), and worse short form health survey (SF36) score (45.7 ± 20.9 versus 52.7 ± 20.5). Annual admission rate was higher in diabetics (median: 0.86 versus 0.43) and diabetic foot involved 16% of their admissions. Transplantation rate was 4 and 9 per 100 patient years in diabetics and non-diabetics, respectively. Death rate was two folds higher in diabetics (24 versus 12 per 100 patient years). Cardiovascular diseases ( ± infections/other causes) comprised 80.5% of death in diabetics and 54.5% in non-diabetics. In Cox regression proportional hazard multivariate analysis, hazard risk of death in diabetics was 1.9 times higher than non-diabetics. Conclusions Clinical outcomes and health related quality of life (HRQOL) are much worse in diabetic compared to non-diabetic HD patients mainly due to more frequent of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs).

Analysis of the kinetics of the parathyroid hormone, and of associated patient outcomes, in a cohort of haemodialysis patients. BMC Nephrol 2016; 17:153. [PMID: 27756251 PMCID: PMC5070007 DOI: 10.1186/s12882-016-0365-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/02/2016] [Accepted: 10/11/2016] [Indexed: 01/18/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Observational studies have recently associated a decrease in serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) level with a higher rate of mortality among hemodialysis (HD) patients. Decreases in PTH level can result from medical intervention (MPD) and surgical parathyroidectomy (PTX), or may occur spontaneously, usually associated with an underlying malnutrition-inflammation syndrome (SPD). The aim of our study was to prospectively identify the incidence of decreases in PTH level in a cohort of HD patients and the frequency distribution of the different causes (MPD, PTX and SPD), as well as to evaluate the survival outcomes for each PTH group (MPD, PTX and SPD) compared to patients who did not experience a PTH decrease over the first 36 months of the study (NPD). Methods The 197 patients receiving HD at our center in January 2010, and meeting our eligibility criteria, were enrolled in our prospective study, and were observed for a period of 60 months. A decrease in PTH level >50 % between two successive PTH measurements obtained within an interval <3 months was defined as a significant event. MPD referred to a decrease in PTH due to an increased oral calcium intake, increased dialysate calcium concentration (DCC), increased alfacalcidol use, or use of cinacalcet therapy. A surgical 7/8 PTX was performed in young patients or in patients in whom cinacalcet therapy failed. SPD referred to a decrease in PTH related to a medical or surgical event. Baseline characteristics among patients in each group (MPD, PTX, SPD, and NPD) were evaluated using Fisher’s exact test. The 60-month survival was evaluated using Kaplan-Meier and Cox multivariable proportional hazards models. Univariate and multivariate Cox analyzes were used identify variables with mortality. The relative risk of mortality was expressed as a hazard ratio (HR). Results The distribution of the 197 patients forming our four study groups was 34 % in the NPD group, 35 % in the SPD group, 25 % in the MSD group and 6 % in the PTX group. Among patients in the SPD group, the main acute comorbid conditions were peripheral vascular and cardiac complications, sepsis, fractures, and cancers with an increase in serum CRP level (from 14.3 ± 18 to 132 ± 90 mg/L) and a decrease in serum albumin (from 33 ± 4.5 to 28.6 ± 4 g/L). In the MPD group, the main therapeutic change was an increase in DCC, either independently or in association with cinacalcet therapy. The median survival rate among patients was 10 months for SPD, compared to 22 months among patients in the MPD group (p < 0.001). Using multivariable Cox model and taking the NPD group as reference, the risk of mortality was lower among patients in the MPD group (HR, 0.42[0.2-0.87] p = 0.01), with survival being comparable for the SPD and NPD groups (HR, 1.3 [0.75-2.2]). No mortality was observed in the PTX group. Conclusion The poor outcomes associated with SPD, related to acute comorbid conditions, should not lead to undertreat secondary hyperparathyroidism whose appropriate medical or surgical therapies are associated with better outcomes.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Abnormal bone dynamics is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease in patients with chronic kidney disease. The level of serum intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) is widely used as a bone dynamic marker. We investigated the effect of the mean level of serum iPTH on overall mortality and cardiovascular outcomes in incident dialysis patients. PURPOSE Chronic kidney disease-mineral bone disorder (CKD-MBD) is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). CKD-MBD is classified as low- or high-turnover bone disease according to the bone dynamics; both are related to vascular calcification in ESRD. To evaluate the prognostic value of abnormal serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels on ESRD patients, we investigated the effects of time-averaged serum intact PTH (TA-iPTH) levels on overall mortality and major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs) in incident dialysis patients. METHODS Four hundred thirteen patients who started dialysis between January 2009 and September 2013 at Yonsei University Health System were enrolled. The patients were divided into three groups according to TA-iPTH levels during the 12 months after the initiation of dialysis: group 1, <65 pg/ml; group 2, 65-300 pg/ml; and group 3, >300 pg/ml. Cox regression analyses were performed to determine the prognostic value of TA-iPTH for overall mortality and MACCEs. RESULTS The mean age of the patients was 57 ± 15 years, and 222 patients (54 %) were men. During the median follow-up of 40.8 ± 29.3 months, 49 patients (12 %) died, and MACCEs occurred in 55 patients (13 %). The multivariate Cox regression analyses demonstrated that a low TA-iPTH level was an independent risk factor for both overall mortality (group 2 as reference; group 1: hazard ratio (HR) = 2.06, 95 % confidence interval (CI) = 1.11-3.83, P = 0.023) and MACCEs (HR = 1.82, 95 % CI = 1.04-3.20, P = 0.036) in incident dialysis patients after adjustment for confounding factors. CONCLUSION Low serum TA-iPTH is a useful clinical marker of both overall mortality and MACCEs in patients undergoing incident dialysis, mediated by vascular calcification.

Abstract
In chronic kidney disease (CKD), simultaneous mineral and skeleton changes are prevalent, known as CKD-mineral bone disorder (CKD-MBD). Arterial calcification (AC) is a clinically important complication of CKD-MBD. It can increase arterial stiffness, which leads to severe cardiovascular events. However, current treatments have little effect on regression of AC, as its mechanisms are still unclear. There are multiple risk factors of AC, among which Malnutrition-Inflammation Complex Syndrome (MICS) is a new and crucial one. MICS, a combined syndrome of malnutrition and inflammation, generally begins at the early stage of CKD and becomes obvious in end-stage renal disease (ESRD). It was linked to reverse epidemiology and associated with increased cardiovascular mortality in ESRD patients. Recent data suggest that MICS can trigger CKD-MBD and accelerate the course of AC. In this present review, we summarize the recent understanding about the aggravating effects of MICS on AC and discuss the possible underlying mechanisms. A series of findings indicate that targeting MICS will provide a potential strategy for treating AC in CKD.

Abstract
The negative impact of environmental exposure of cadmium has been well established in the general population. However, the effect of cadmium exposure in chronic peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients remains uncertain.A total of 306 chronic PD patients were included in this 36-month observational study. Patients were stratified into 3 groups by the tertile of baseline blood cadmium levels (BCLs): high (>0.244 μg/L, n = 101), middle (0.130-0.244 μg/L, n = 102), and low (<0.130 μg/L, n = 103) for cross-sectional analyses. Mortality rates and cause of death were recorded for longitudinal analyses.Patients in the high-BCL group were older, more likely to have diabetes mellitus, had lower levels of serum albumin and lower percentage of lean body mass than patients in the low-BCL group. A multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that logarithmic transformed BCL was independently associated with a higher risk of low turnover bone disease (odds ratio = 3.8, P = 0.005). At the end of the 36-month follow-up, 66 (21.6%) patients died. Mortality rates increased with higher BCLs (P for trend = 0.005). A Cox multivariate analysis showed that, using the low-BCL group as the reference, the high-BCL group had increased hazard ratios (HR) for all-cause mortality in chronic PD patients after adjusting for related variables (HR = 2.469, 95% confidence interval = 1.078-5.650, P = 0.043).In conclusion, BCL showed significant association with malnutrition and low turnover bone disease in chronic PD patients. Furthermore, BCL is an important determinant of mortality. Our findings suggest that avoiding environmental exposure to cadmium as much as possible is warranted in chronic PD patients.

Abstract
In the late 1970s, calcitriol was introduced into clinical practice for the management of secondary renal hyperparathyroidism in chronic kidney disease (CKD). Since then, the use of calcifediol or other native forms of vitamin D was largely ignored until the publication of the 2009 Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) recommendations. The guidelines suggested that measurement of circulating levels of 25(OH)D (calcifediol) and its supplementation were to be performed on the same basis as for the general population. This indication was based on the fact that the precursors of active vitamin D had provided to CKD patients considerable benefits in survival, mainly due to their pleiotropic effects on the cardiovascular system. However, despite the long-term use of various classes of vitamin D in CKD, a clear definition is still lacking concerning the most appropriate time for initiation of therapy, the best compound to prescribe (active metabolites or analogs), the proper dosage, and the most suitable duration of therapy. The aim of this position statement is to provide and critically appraise the current plentiful evidence on vitamin D in different clinical settings related to CKD, particularly focusing on outcomes, monitoring and treatment-associated risks. However, it should be taken in account that position statements are meant to provide guidance; therefore, they are not to be considered prescriptive for all patients and, importantly, they cannot replace the judgment of clinicians.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Once-weekly 56.5-μg teriparatide treatment was significantly associated with the increase in lumbar spine bone mineral density at 48 weeks among hemodialysis patients with hypoparathyroidism and low bone mass; however, discontinuation of treatment because of adverse events was frequently observed. Careful monitoring for adverse events should be required. INTRODUCTION Once-weekly 56.5-μg teriparatide is reportedly effective for treating osteoporotic patients without renal insufficiency. However, little is known about the efficacy and safety of once-weekly teriparatide in hemodialysis patients. METHODS We conducted a 48-week prospective, observational cohort study including 22 hemodialysis patients aged 20 years or older with hypoparathyroidism and low bone mass who received once-weekly teriparatide at 56.5 μg at a tertiary care hospital between January 2013 and January 2015. Primary outcomes were within-subject percent changes of bone mineral density (BMD) at the lumbar spine, femoral neck, and distal one-third radius at 24 and 48 weeks. Secondary outcomes included percent changes of serum bone turnover markers (osteocalcin, bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BAP), N-terminal propeptide of procollagen type 1 (P1NP), and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b (TRAP-5b)). Adverse events were evaluated. RESULTS The BMD increased at the lumbar spine by 3.3 ± 1.9 % (mean ± SEM) and 3.0 ± 1.8 % at 24 and 48 weeks but not in the femoral neck and distal one-third radius. Serum osteocalcin, BAP, and P1NP increased significantly at 4 weeks, maintaining higher concentrations up to 48 weeks, although TRAP-5b decreased gradually during treatment. The baseline BAP was significantly associated with the 48-week percent change in lumbar spine BMD. Transient hypotension was the most common adverse event. Ten patients discontinued treatment because of adverse events. CONCLUSIONS Once-weekly teriparatide was associated with increased lumbar spine BMD in hemodialysis patients with hypoparathyroidism and low bone mass. Careful monitoring should be required for treatment of such patients.

Abstract
Adynamic bone disease (ABD) is a well-recognized clinical entity in the complex chronic kidney disease (CKD)-mineral and bone disorder. Although the combination of low intact parathyroid hormone (PTH) and low bone alkaline phosphatase levels may be suggestive of ABD, the gold standard for precise diagnosis is histomorphometric analysis of tetracycline double-labeled bone biopsies. ABD essentially is characterized by low bone turnover, low bone volume, normal mineralization, and markedly decreased cellularity with minimal or no fibrosis. ABD is increasing in prevalence relative to other forms of renal osteodystrophy, and is becoming the most frequent type of bone lesion in some series. ABD develops in situations with reduced osteoanabolic stimulation caused by oversuppression of PTH, multifactorial skeletal resistance to PTH actions in uremia, and/or dysregulation of Wnt signaling. All may contribute not only to bone disease but also to the early vascular calcification processes observed in CKD. Various risk factors have been linked to ABD, including calcium loading, ageing, diabetes, hypogonadism, parathyroidectomy, peritoneal dialysis, and antiresorptive therapies, among others. The relationship between low PTH level, ABD, increased risk fracture, and vascular calcifications may at least partially explain the association of ABD with increased mortality rates. To achieve optimal bone and cardiovascular health, attention should be focused not only on classic control of secondary hyperparathyroidism but also on prevention of ABD, especially in the steadily growing proportions of diabetic, white, and elderly patients. Overcoming the insufficient osteoanabolic stimulation in ABD is the ultimate treatment goal.

[PMID: 26107510 PMCID: PMC4479575 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0129737] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/23/2015] [Accepted: 05/12/2015] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Predicting mortality in dialysis patients based on low intact parathyroid hormone levels is difficult, because aluminum intoxication, malnutrition, older age, race, diabetes, or peritoneal dialysis may influence these levels. We investigated the clinical implications of low parathyroid hormone levels in relation to the mortality of dialysis patients using sensitive, stratified, and adjusted models and a nationwide dialysis database. We analyzed data from 2005 to 2012 that were held on the Taiwan Renal Registry Data System, and 94,983 hemodialysis patients with valid data regarding their intact parathyroid levels were included in this study. The patient cohort was subdivided based on the intact parathyroid hormone and alkaline phosphatase levels. The mean hemodialysis duration within this cohort was 3.5 years. The mean (standard deviation) age was 62 (14) years. After adjusting for age, sex, diabetes, the hemodialysis duration, serum albumin levels, hematocrit levels, calcium levels, phosphate levels, and the hemodialysis treatment adequacy score, the single-pool Kt/V, the crude and adjusted all-cause mortality rates increased when alkaline phosphatase levels were higher or intact parathyroid hormone levels were lower. In general, at any given level of serum calcium or phosphate, patients with low intact parathyroid hormone levels had higher mortality rates than those with normal or high iPTH levels. At a given alkaline phosphatase level, the hazard ratio for all-cause mortality was 1.33 (p < 0.01, 95% confidence interval 1.27–1.39) in the group with intact parathyroid hormone levels < 150 pg/mL and serum calcium levels > 9.5 mg/dL, but in the group with intact parathyroid hormone levels > 300 pg/mL and serum calcium levels > 9.5 mg/dL, the hazard ratio was 0.92 (95% confidence interval 0.85–1.01). Hence, maintaining albumin-corrected high serum calcium levels at > 9.5 mg/dL may correlate with poor prognoses for patients with low intact parathyroid hormone levels.

Iorember FM, Bamgbola OF. Pilot validation of objective malnutrition-inflammation scores in pediatric and adolescent cohort on chronic maintenance dialysis. SAGE Open Med 2014; 2:2050312114555564. [PMID: 26770746 PMCID: PMC4607232 DOI: 10.1177/2050312114555564] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/09/2014] [Accepted: 09/22/2014] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: In recognition of the challenges inherent with the use of single-item indices for the diagnosis of malnutrition–inflammation morbidity in pediatric dialysis patients, to enhance accuracy, we validated a composite scoring system in a pilot study. The objective malnutrition—inflammation score seeks to validate the use of a composite scoring system as a tool for assessing malnutrition—inflammation burden in a pediatric dialysis population. Methods: We enrolled 20 patients on hemodialysis (n = 14) and peritoneal dialysis (n = 6) over a period of 12 months. We derived composite scores from selected indices of renal pathology, nutrition, dialysis adequacy, protein catabolism, and dialysis modality. We assessed reliability by a test–retest method and measured validity by defining the relationship of the indices with serum C-reactive protein in a multiple regression analysis. We calculated sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, and precision for the malnutrition—inflammation score. Results: The mean age was 12.8 years (standard deviation = 6.1), and male–female ratio was 12:8. Patients (n = 8) with elevated serum C-reactive protein (>0.3 mg/dL) had higher composite score for malnutrition—inflammation morbidity. Similarly, the pediatric cohort on hemodialysis had higher score than those on peritoneal dialysis. Upon reliability testing, a low value of typical error (0.07) and high correlation coefficient (r = 0.95) supported validity of the instrument. Moreover, multiple regression analysis showed a strong predictive relationship (R2 = 0.9, p = 0.03) between the indices and serum C-reactive protein. Sensitivity of malnutrition—inflammation score was 62.5%, specificity was 83%, accuracy was 75%, and precision was 71%. Conclusion: Using criterion-validation method, we established the potential use of multi-diagnostic approach to quantify malnutrition—inflammation morbidity in a pediatric dialysis cohort. Given the small sample size, large-scale population-specific studies are needed to ratify these findings and to demonstrate its clinical effectiveness.

Calcif Tissue Int 2014; 94:301-10. [PMID: 24193439 DOI: 10.1007/s00223-013-9811-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/25/2013] [Accepted: 10/16/2013] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
We studied the effects of increasing the dialysate calcium concentration (DCa) to 1.75 mmol/L on controlling chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder in Chinese patients on maintenance hemodialysis (MHD). We reviewed the data of MHD patients in one center (cohort 1) during prior 10 years and analyzed the risk factors of mortality and transference calcification (TC) in120 MHD patients surviving in 2003 (cohort 2). A multicenter, prospective, parallel-group, controlled trial (cohort 3) was also conducted from January 2011 to December 2012. The DCa at one center was increased from 1.5 to 1.75 mmol/L but was not changed at the other two centers. The clinical outcomes, biochemical parameters, medicine treatments, and TC markers [aortic arch calcification score (AoACS)] were compared between groups. In cohort 1, the annual mean serum iPTH increased significantly over 10 years. In cohort 1, 72 patients survived for 10 years, whose doses of calcium salts and active vitamin D3 and AoACs increased progressively. In cohort 2, the main cause of death was cardiocerebrovascular disease (CCVD) (n = 18, 48.6 %). Male sex and lower serum calcium concentrations were independent risk factors for CCVD mortality. In cohort 3, serum phosphorus, iPTH, and 25(OH)D decreased and serum calcium increased significantly; also, the doses of calcium and vitamin D3 decreased from 2011 to 2012 in the DCa 1.75 group. There were no significant differences in clinical outcomes either between groups or between the two calendar years. Our results indicate that increasing DCa to 1.75 mmol/L can decrease the elevated levels of serum iPTH and phosphorus, reduce the doses of calcium and vitamin D3, and be safe for short periods of time.

Is there an association between elevated or low serum levels of phosphorus, parathyroid hormone, and calcium and mortality in patients with end stage renal disease? A meta-analysis. BMC Nephrol 2013; 14:88. [PMID: 23594621 PMCID: PMC3658973 DOI: 10.1186/1471-2369-14-88] [Citation(s) in RCA: 41] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2012] [Accepted: 03/25/2013] [Indexed: 01/07/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Biochemical markers of altered mineral metabolism have been associated with increased mortality in end stage renal disease patients. Several studies have demonstrated non-linear (U-shaped or J-shaped) associations between these minerals and mortality, though many researchers have assumed linear relationships in their statistical modeling. This analysis synthesizes the non-linear relationships across studies. METHODS We updated a prior systematic review through 2010. Studies included adults receiving dialysis and reported categorical data for calcium, phosphorus, and/or parathyroid hormone (PTH) together with all-cause mortality. We performed 2 separate meta-analyses to compare higher-than-referent levels vs referent and lower-than-referent levels vs referent levels. RESULTS A literature review showed that when a linear relationship between the minerals and mortality was assumed, the estimated associations were more likely to be smaller or non-significant compared to non-linear models. In the meta-analyses, higher-than-referent levels of phosphorus (4 studies, RR = 1.20, 95% CI = 1.15-1.25), calcium (3 studies, RR = 1.10, 95% CI = 1.05-1.14), and PTH (5 studies, RR = 1.11, 95% CI = 1.07-1.16) were significantly associated with increased mortality. Although no significant associations between relatively low phosphorus or PTH and mortality were observed, a protective effect was observed for lower-than-referent calcium (RR = 0.86, 95% CI = 0.83-0.89). CONCLUSIONS Higher-than-referent levels of PTH, calcium, and phosphorus in dialysis patients were associated with increased mortality risk in a selection of observational studies suitable for meta-analysis of non-linear relationships. Findings were less consistent for lower-than-referent values. Future analyses should incorporate the non-linear relationships between the minerals and mortality to obtain accurate effect estimates.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to identify the predictors of acquired perforating dermatosis (APD) in patients on maintenance hemodialysis (HD). METHODS A case-control study was performed at our outpatient HD center between January 1, 2000 and March 31, 2011. Patients on HD with APD were matched (1 : 2) for gender and age with controls on HD. Conditional logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with APD. RESULTS A total of 19 patients with APD and 38 age and gender matched patients were enrolled in the study. Univariate logistic regression showed that APD was significantly associated with diabetes mellitus (DM), reduced levels of intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) and albumin (Alb), reduced dialysis adequacy (Kt/V) and urea reduction rate (URR), and elevated levels of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP). Multivariate logistic regression identified reduced iPTH (hazard ratio (HR): 0.983; P = 0.026) and Alb (HR: 0.099; P = 0.047) and elevated hsCRP (HR: 1.210, P = 0.024) as risk factors for APD. CONCLUSIONS iPTH, hsCRP, and Alb are predictors for APD in HD patients.

Abstract
Little is known about the quality of life and survival in the patients on maintenance hemodialysis (HD) in India. Poor nutrition and dialysis noncompliance is common. This study investigates the factors that affect the quality of life (QoL) in HD patients in India. This cross-sectional study included 78 patients on HD for ≥ two months. Demographic, nutritional, functional subjective global assessment and Kidney Disease Quality of Life (KDQOL-36) assessments were done. Predictors of QoL were assessed by regression analysis. The mean calorie and protein intake were 1245 ± 116.9 kcal and 0.86 ± 0.19 g/kg/day respectively. Male gender (OR = 9.68), serum parathyroid hormone PTH <150 pg/ml (OR = 0.03), age ≤65 years (OR = 1.25), no catheter use (OR = 1.9) and hospitalizations (OR = 0.11), were independent predictors of total score ≥50. Independent predictors of physical component summary (PCS) >25 were male gender (OR = 5.06) and urine output at start of dialysis (OR = 1.05). Independent predictors of mental component summary (MCS) ≥25 were male gender (OR = 11.02), serum PTH > 150 pg/ml (OR = 0.15), daily protein intake of >0.8 g/kg and caloric intake >20 K.cal/kg (OR = 10.8). Patients with urine output >1 liter per day had more hypotensive episodes during dialysis (r = 0.56, P = 0.045), more headaches (r = 0.63, P = 0.006) but that did not affect the PCS significantly. Low PTH (<150 pg/ml) (OR = 1.29), multiple access failures (OR = 3.36) and total score ≤50 (OR = 0.09) were independently associated with increased hospitalization. Males, patients with serum PTH >150 pg/ml and those not on catheter had better total score. Though patients with higher urine output had better PCS, those with output >1 liter had higher incidence of hypotension and dialysis-related headache. Protein-energy malnutrition affected the MCS significantly. Dialysis noncompliance seen in one-fourth of the population did not affect the scores significantly.

Abstract
PURPOSE The National Kidney Foundation Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative (NKF-K/DOQI™) 2003 and Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) 2009 have established guidelines for the treatement of secondary hyperparathyroidism. This study evaluated the impact of parathyroidectomy to achieve recommended values for parathyroid hormone, calcium, phosphorus and CaxPO(4) product in dialysis patients with severe secondary hyperparathyroidism that is resistant to medical treatment. METHODS This study included 43 consecutive patients who underwent parathyroidectomy for a severe form of secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) that is unresponsive to medical treatment. The serum iPTH, calcium and phosphorus levels were measured prior to surgery, every morning after surgery for 5 days and on the first, sixth and eighth postoperative months. RESULTS Following parathyroidectomy, a significant decline in iPTH values was observed in all patients; however, after the 8-month study period, only one of these patients achieved a serum iPTH concentration within the K/DOQI recommended target range. Unlike iPTH, targeting for calcium, phosphorus and CaxPO(4) at the last follow-up were 55.8%, 60.5% and 93%, respectively. These values indicated a significant improvement in comparison to preoperative percentages. In regards to the KDIGO recommended guidelines, the iPTH levels did not significantly change at the end of our study compared to preoperative values; however, calcium levels significantly declined and phosphorus levels significantly improved compared to preoperative values. CONCLUSIONS Although the majority of patients fail to reach recommended iPTH values, parathyroidectomy remains a valuable tool to attain these NKF-K/DOQI recommendations for serum calcium, phosphorus and CaxPO(4) in dialysis patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism resistant to medical therapy. Parathyroidectomy was shown to be an inadequate intervention for achieving KDIGO recommendations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients with polycystic kidney disease (PKD) have better survival than non-PKD patients. Mineral and bone disorders (MBD) are associated with accelerated atherosclerosis and cardiovascular death in MHD patients. It is unknown whether the different MBD mortality association between MHD populations with and without PKD can explain the survival differential. METHODS Survival models were examined to assess the association between different laboratory markers of MBD [such as serum phosphorous, parathyroid hormone (PTH), calcium and alkaline phosphatase] and mortality in a 6-year cohort of 60,089 non-PKD and 1501 PKD MHD patients. RESULTS PKD and non-PKD patients were 57±13 and 62±15 years old and included 46 and 45% women and 14 and 32% Blacks, respectively. Whereas PKD individuals with PTH 150 to <300 pg/mL (reference) had the lowest risk for mortality, the death risk was higher in patients with PTH<150 [hazard ratio (HR): 2.16 (95% confidence interval 1.53-3.06)], 300 to <600 [HR: 1.30 (0.97-1.74)] and ≥600 pg/mL [HR: 1.46 (1.02-2.08)], respectively. Similar patterns were found in non-PKD patients. Fully adjusted death HRs of time-averaged serum phosphorous increments<3.5, 5.5 to <7.5 and ≥7.5 mg/dL (reference: 3.5 to <5.5 mg/dL) for PKD patients were 2.82 (1.50-5.29), 1.40 (1.12-1.75) and 2.25 (1.57-3.22). The associations of alkaline phosphatase and calcium with mortality were similar in PKD and non-PKD patients. CONCLUSION Bone-mineral disorder markers exhibit similar mortality trends between PKD and non-PKD MHD patients, although some differences are observed in particular in low PTH and phosphorus ranges.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Vitamin D has gained attention for its pleiotropic effects in areas other than bone metabolism, and the effects of vitamin D in preventing respiratory infections have been reported as one of its immunomodulating properties. This study assessed the preventive effect of vitamin D receptor activator (VDRA) on respiratory infections in dialysis patients. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS Maintained Japanese hemodialysis patients (n = 508) were observed for 5 years, and the incidence of hospitalization during this period because of acute respiratory infection (ARI) was recorded. RESULTS Of the 508 patients, 212 had taken oral VDRA at the start of the study, whereas 296 patients had not received it. During the 5-year follow-up period, 57 patients were hospitalized because of ARIs. Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed that the incidence of hospitalization because of respiratory infection was significantly lower in patients who had been treated with VDRA compared with patients who had not (log rank test; P = 0.02). The multivariate Cox proportional hazards model demonstrated that the patients who had taken oral VDRA were at a significantly lower risk of hospitalization because of respiratory disease (hazard ratio 0.47, 95% confidence interval 0.25 to 0.90). CONCLUSIONS The findings of this study suggest that the administration of oral VDRA has a preventive effect on the incidence of ARIs in dialysis patients.

Abstract
There are counterintuitive but consistent observations that African American maintenance dialysis patients have greater survival despite their less favorable socioeconomic status, high burden of cardiovascular risks including hypertension and diabetes, and excessively high chronic kidney disease prevalence. The fact that such individuals have a number of risk factors for lower survival and yet live longer when undergoing dialysis treatment is puzzling. Similar findings have been made among Israeli maintenance dialysis patients, in that those who are ethnically Arab have higher end-stage renal disease but exhibit greater survival than Jewish Israelis. The juxtaposition of these two situations may provide valuable insights into racial/ethnic-based mechanisms of survival in chronic diseases. Survival advantages of African American dialysis patients may be explained by differences in nutritional status, inflammatory profile, dietary intake habits, body composition, bone and mineral disorders, mental health and coping status, dialysis treatment differences, and genetic differences among other factors. Prospective studies are needed to examine similar models in other countries and to investigate the potential causes of these paradoxes in these societies. Better understanding the roots of racial/ethnic survival differences may help improve outcomes in both patients with chronic kidney disease and other individuals with chronic disease states.

Abstract
In individuals with advanced chronic kidney disease, secondary hyperparathyroidism is known to be associated with high turnover bone disease. Low serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels may not necessarily be because of hypodynamic bone, but could be another facet of the malnutrition-inflammation-cachexia syndrome (MICS). A recent 5-year cohort study in 748 stable hemodialysis outpatients showed that after the confounding effect by the MICS was removed, the moderately low levels of PTH in the 100 to 150 pg/mL range was associated with the greatest survival rate. Data from Japanese dialysis patients show similar survival advantages of having a lower PTH range. Low levels of serum PTH seem to be associated with markers of protein-energy wasting and inflammation, and this association may confound the relationship between serum PTH and alkaline phosphatase. PTH stimulates lipogenesis through influx of calcium into the adipocytes. PTH secretion is suppressed by interleukin-1 beta and interleukin-6, which are proinflammatory cytokines that are associated with poor outcome in dialysis patients. These cytokines inhibits PTH secretion in cultured parathyroid tissue slices. In this article, we review the association of a low serum PTH level with the MICS in patients with chronic kidney disease and suggest avoiding over-interpretation of low serum PTH level as an indicator of low turnover bone disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Periodic assessment of dietary intake across a given dialysis population may help to improve the clinical outcomes related to nutrients such as dietary protein, phosphorus, or potassium. Although dietary recalls and food records are used to assess dietary intake at individual level and over shorter periods, food frequency questionnaires (FFQ) are used to rank subjects of a given population according to their nutrient intake over longer periods. DESIGN To modify and refine the conventional Block FFQ to develop a specific FFQ for dialysis patients. SETTING A total of 8 DaVita outpatient dialysis clinics in Los Angeles area, which participated in the "Nutrition and Inflammation in Dialysis Patients" study. PATIENTS The study included 154 patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (MHD). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE Dietary intake of participating MHD patients using a 3-day food record, supplemented by a person-to-person dietary interview, to capture food intake over the last hemodialysis treatment day of the week and the 2 subsequent nondialysis days. RESULTS Analyses of the food records identified the key contributors to the daily nutrient intake in the 154 participating MHD patients. A "Dialysis-FFQ" was developed to include approximately 100 food items representing the total food intake of 90% of the patients of the "Nutrition and Inflammation in Dialysis Patients" study population. Distinctions were made in several food items on the basis of key nutritional issues, such as protein, phosphorus, and potassium, in dialysis patients. CONCLUSIONS We have developed a "Dialysis FFQ" to compare and rank dialysis patients according to their diverse nutrient intake. Although the Dialysis-FFQ may be a valuable tool to compare dialysis patients and to identify those who ingest higher or lower amounts of a given nutrient, studies are needed to examine the utility of the Dialysis-FFQ for nutritional assessment of dialysis patients.
