Abstract
Key Points
There were no associations between biomarkers and patient-reported pain, fatigue, and depression in a large ESKD cohort at baseline.Compared with control, the Technology-Assisted stepped Collaborative Care intervention had a short-term impact on reducing inflammatory burden.Treatment modified the association between changes in symptoms and in certain proinflammatory biomarkers (TNF-α and high sensitivity C-reactive protein) over time.
Background
Patient-reported symptoms are associated with inflammation biomarkers in many chronic diseases. We examined associations of inflammation biomarkers with pain, fatigue, and depression in patients with ESKD and the effects of a Technology-Assisted stepped Collaborative Care (TĀCcare) intervention on these biomarkers.
Methods
In the TĀCcare multisite randomized control trial, data on patient-reported symptoms were collected at baseline and 3 and 6 months. Anti-inflammatory (IL-1 receptor agonist, IL-10), proinflammatory (TNF-α, high sensitivity C-reactive protein, IL-6), and regulatory (IL-2) biomarkers were assayed. Linear mixed-effects modeling was used to examine within-group and between-group differences after adjusting for age, sex, race, and comorbidities.
Results
Among the 160 patients (mean age 58±14 years, 55% men, 52% white), there were no significant associations between inflammation biomarkers and pain, fatigue, or depression at baseline. Both intervention and control groups demonstrated reductions in IL-10 and IL-1 receptor agonist over 6 months (β range=−1.22 to −0.40, P range=<0.001–0.02) At 3 months, the treatment group exhibited decreases in TNF-α (β=−0.22, P < 0.001) and IL-2 (β=−0.71, P < 0.001), whereas the control group showed increases in IL-6/IL-10 ratio (β=0.33, P = 0.03). At 6 months, both groups exhibited decreases in IL-2 (β range=−0.66 to −0.57, P < 0.001); the control group showed significant increases in the ratio of IL-6/IL-10 (β=0.75, P < 0.001) and decrease in TNF-α (β=−0.16, P = 0.02). Compared with controls, the treatment group demonstrated significantly decreased IL-2 at 3 months (β=−0.53, P < 0.001). Significant interaction effects of treatment were observed on the association between changes in proinflammatory biomarkers (TNF-α and high sensitivity C-reactive protein) levels and changes in symptom scores from baseline to 6 months.
Conclusions
The TĀCcare intervention had a short-term impact on reducing inflammatory burden in patients with ESKD. More studies are needed to confirm our findings and to determine whether these biomarkers mediate the link between symptoms and disease progression.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Major depressive disorder is related to unfavourable outcomes in patients with severe comorbidities. In transplant patients, major depression is associated with worse clinical outcomes. CASE REPORT We present the case of a 55-year-old man with a heart transplant due to heart failure of ischaemic origin. Six months after the transplant he developed depressed mood, anhedonia and suicidal ideation with a score of 20/27 on the PHQ-9 depression screening scale. After receiving mirtazapine 30 mg/night for a week and persisting with a high suicide risk, it was decided to administer ketamine infusion for 24 h, with which a significant improvement in mood was observed, and the disappearance of suicidal ideation 24 h after the infusion. DISCUSSION Depression in transplant patients is a factor associated with graft loss and post-transplant mortality, in addition to favouring other negative outcomes such as deep vein thrombosis. CONCLUSIONS Ketamine infusion was shown to be an effective and safe option to treat major depression with suicidal risk in a heart transplant patient.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Depression is highly prevalent among hemodialysis patients. Understanding the relationship between the plasma neurofilament light chain (NfL) and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) may help us to better understand the mechanisms of depression. This study determined their impact, alongside that of other factors, on the risk of depression in hemodialysis patients. METHODS The study enrolled 82 patients undergoing chronic hemodialysis. Serum NfL, BDNF, uric acid, urea, potassium, calcium, phosphorus, intact parathyroid hormone, and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels were measured. The patients completed the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). Blood pressure values, body mass before and after hemodialysis, and weekly duration of hemodialysis in hours were assessed. For 19-month survival analysis, the patients were stratified according to baseline BDI scores. RESULTS Based on the BDI score, 18.3% of the patients had an increased risk of depression. Lower scores were associated with significantly longer duration of hemodialysis treatment (37.5 (25-57) 24 (14-37) months, p = 0.01). Within the 19-month survival analysis, 31.7% of patients died. The patients with BDI scores above the median had significantly lower survival than those below the median (log-rank test p = 0.02). No significant differences in serum BDNF levels (192.7 [125.2-278.2]; 207.7 [142.8-265.8] pg/mL, p = 0.40), or NfL concentrations (1431.5 [1182.6-1625.7]; 1494.6 [1335.7-1667] kDa, p = 0.52) were found between patients with lower and higher risk of depression. Patients with BDI scores above the median had significantly higher levels of CRP (9.6 [4.4-14]) than those with scores below the median (3.6 [2.2-7.5], p = 0.01). A significant positive correlation was found between the BDI score and serum CRP level (r = 0.38, p = 0.01). A significant negative correlation was observed between the BDI score and URR% value (r = -0.36, p = 0.02). CONCLUSIONS Patients with lower BDI scores had a longer dialysis duration, indicating a potential negative association between depression risk and length of dialysis treatment. Neither serum NfL nor BDNF levels can serve as markers of depression risk in the dialysis population.

Abstract
PURPOSE The present study aimed to determine which factors prevents the success of nutritional interventions for older family caregivers (FCs), in the form of individually tailored nutritional guidance. METHODS The present study focuses on the intervention group of FCs (n = 63) of a randomized controlled trial. Older FCs (≥60 years of age) receiving a care allowance for a home-living care recipient (≥65 years of age) were included in the present study, which focused on nutritional interventions via individually tailored nutritional guidance provided by a clinical nutritionist. The associations between changes in protein intake (3-day food record), Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) scores, and plasma albumin and prealbumin concentrations, as well as associated factors, for the 6-month intervention period were analyzed using generalized estimating equations. RESULTS Intervention time, female sex, older age, higher net income, better hand grip strength, more teeth, and removable denture use were positively associated with an increase in protein intake. Fewer depressive symptoms were associated with a positive change in the MNA scores. Younger age, lower education level, lower body mass index (BMI), higher depressive symptoms, and fewer teeth were associated with an increase in plasma albumin concentration. Younger age, lower education, lower plasma concentration of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein at 6 months, lower Sense of Coherence (SOC) -13 score, fewer teeth, and absence of removable dentures were associated with an increase in plasma prealbumin concentration. CONCLUSION Older female FCs with a higher income, better hand grip strength, lower education, and lower SOC benefited most from individually tailored nutritional guidance. Depressive symptoms, oral health, and low-grade inflammation should be considered when providing nutritional guidance to older FCs.

Abstract
Depression is the most common psychiatric disorder in patients on hemodialysis. An imbalance between proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines is thought to play a role in the pathogenesis of depression in patients on dialysis. We undertook this study to assess the correlations of the proinflammatory cytokine interleukin 6 (IL-6) and the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 with depression in patients on maintenance hemodialysis. This cross-sectional observational study was carried out at our hospital, a tertiary care referral government teaching hospital, over 2 years. Depression was assessed using the Becks Depression Inventory score. A higher cutoff of >16 was taken for a diagnosis of depression. Clinical, demographic, and laboratory parameters were analyzed. Cytokines were assessed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. Eighty patients satisfied the inclusion criteria. The prevalence of depression in our study was 41.5%. Depression was more common in those who were unemployed and/or illiterate. Mild depression was found in patients from the upper-lower and lower-middle classes, but severe depression was seen in lower-economic classes. Serum levels of IL-6 showed a positive correlation with the severity of depression. Depression was common in patients on maintenance hemodialysis. High levels of serum IL-6 were observed in those with depression. Depression in patients on maintenance hemodialysis is associated with a considerable risk of mortality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Depression affects approximately 27% of adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage kidney failure (ESKF). Depression in this population is associated with impaired quality of life and increased mortality. The extent of inflammation and the impact on depression in CKD/ESKF is yet to be established. Through a systematic literature review and meta-analysis, we aim to understand the relationship between depression and inflammation in CKD/ESKF patients. METHODS We searched nine electronic databases for published studies until January 2022. Titles and abstracts were screened against inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data extraction and study quality assessment was carried out independently by two reviewers. A meta-analysis was carried out where appropriate; otherwise a narrative review of studies was completed. RESULTS Sixty studies met our inclusion criteria and entered the review (9481 patients included in meta-analysis). Meta-analysis of cross-sectional associations revealed significantly higher levels of pro-inflammatory biomarkers; C-reactive protein; Interleukin 6 (IL-6) and tumour necrosis factor-alpha in patients with depressive symptoms (DS) compared to patients without DS. Significantly lower levels of anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 were found in patients with DS compared to patients without DS. Considerable heterogeneity was detected in the analysis for most inflammatory markers. CONCLUSION We found evidence for an association of higher levels of pro-inflammatory and lower anti-inflammatory cytokines and DS in patients with CKD/ESKF. Clinical trials are needed to investigate whether anti-inflammatory therapies will be effective in the prevention and treatment of DS in these patients with multiple comorbidities.

Abstract
AIMS The association between serum albumin and depressive symptoms has been unclear in previous epidemiological studies. We explored whether serum albumin is associated with depressive symptoms based on the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data. METHODS This cross-sectional study included 13,681 participants aged ≥ 20 years from the NHANES performed during 2005-2018, which produced nationally representative database. Depressive symptoms were assessed using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9. Serum albumin concentration was measured using the bromocresol purple dye method, and participants were divided into quartiles of serum albumin concentrations. Weighted data were calculated according to analytical guidelines. Logistics regression and linear regression models were used to assess and quantify the association between serum albumin and depressive symptoms. Univariate and stratified analyses were also performed. RESULTS There were 1551 (10.23%) adults (aged ≥ 20 years) with depressive symptoms among the 13,681. A negative association was found between serum albumin concentration and depressive symptoms. Compared with the lowest albumin quartile, the multivariate-adjusted effect size (95% confidence interval) for depressive symptoms of the fully adjusted model in the highest albumin quartile was 0.77 (0.60 to 0.99) and - 0.38 (- 0.66 to - 0.09) using logistics regression and linear regression models respectively. Current smoking status modified the association between serum albumin concentration and PHQ-9 scores (p for interaction = 0.033). CONCLUSION This cross-sectional study revealed that albumin concentration is significantly more likely to be a protective factor for depressive symptoms, with the association being more pronounced in non-smokers.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the prevalence of depression and anxiety in patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) in Hohhot, a large city on the northern border of China, and to identify independent risk factors for depression and anxiety in these patients. METHODS Patients receiving MHD for >3 months were enrolled in the four largest hemodialysis centers between September 2020 and December 2020. Depression and anxiety were assessed using the Zung self-rated depression scale (SDS) and Zung self-rated anxiety scale (SAS), respectively, with demographic and other data collected for logistic regression analyses. RESULTS Among 305 MHD patients included in this study, the prevalence of depression was 55.1%, including 27.5%, 21.0%, and 6.6% with mild, moderate and severe cases, respectively. The prevalence of anxiety was 25.9%, with 20.0%, 4.6%, and 1.3% having mild, moderate, and severe cases, respectively. An independent protective factor for depression was family income of ≥1415 US dollars/month relative to <157 US dollars/month (odds ratio [OR] 0.209, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.065-0.673), and predictors of depression included ≥3 comorbidities (OR 18.527, 95% CI 1.674-205.028) and severe pruritus (OR 15.971, 95% CI 5.173-49.315). Independent predictors of anxiety included infrequent exercise (OR 3.289, 95% CI 1.411-7.664) and severe pruritus (OR 5.912, 95% CI 1.733-20.168). The correlation between depression and anxiety in these patients was significant (rs = 0.775, p < 0.001). CONCLUSION MHD patients in Northern China had high prevalence rates of depression (55.1%) and anxiety (25.9%). Lower family income, more comorbidities, and a higher degree of pruritus were predictors of depression, while infrequent exercise and severe pruritus were predictors of anxiety. Depression correlated significantly with anxiety. Attention should be given to family income, comorbidity, exercise, and pruritus severity for improved management of depression and anxiety among MHD patients.

Abstract
AIM To investigate the factors affecting hemodialysis patients' self-management ability at a dialysis center in Taiwan. BACKGROUND Taiwan has the highest incidence and prevalence of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) in the world. Over 90% of patients with ESKD receiving hemodialysis (HD) and self-management behaviors are critical among these patients. Failure to adhere to self-managed care increases the cost of medical care and the risk of morbidity and mortality. METHODS In this cross-sectional study, a total of 150 HD patients were observed for their self-management behaviors and the factors influencing these behaviors including education level, comorbid conditions, biochemical analysis, depression, and social support, etc., were analyzed. RESULTS Self-management behaviors in HD patients were significantly impaired in the presence of diabetes mellitus, hypertension, anemia, hypoalbuminemia, and depression. The major predictor of patients' self-management was depression, explaining 14.8% of the total variance. Further addition of social support, hypertension, and diabetes mellitus into the regression model increased the total explained variance to 28.6%. Of the various domains of self-management, the partnership domain received the highest score, whereas emotional processing received the lowest score. CONCLUSIONS This study found the important factors influencing self-management behaviors; through this acknowledgement and early correction of these factors, we hope to improve HD patients' individual life quality and further decrease their morbidity and mortality.

[PMID: 34983435 PMCID: PMC8729006 DOI: 10.1186/s12888-021-03647-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/31/2021] [Accepted: 12/06/2021] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND There are conflicting results regarding the association between chronic liver disease (CLD) and depression and the underlying biological mechanisms are lack of investigation. To address the impact of depression and its effects on the management of CLD, its biological marker is critical to be identified. The present study explored the association between serum albumin and depression in CLD patients and whether the association varied in different liver histological stages. METHODS Based on the United States National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2017-2018, the data of serum albumin and depressive symptoms from 627 participants with CLD were used. Depression symptoms were assessed with the nine-item Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9). We used multivariate linear regression to evaluate the association between serum albumin and PHQ-9 scores. Stratified analysis was performed according to the liver histology examined by vibration controlled transient elastography. RESULTS Serum albumin level was inversely associated with PHQ-9 scores in the multivariate regression model after adjusting for mainly potential confounders (β = - 1.113, 95% CI: - 2.065 to - 0.162, P = 0.0221). In the subgroup analysis stratified by gender, controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) and liver stiffness measurement (LSM), the inverse association remained significant in female (β = - 2.002, 95% CI: - 3.515 to - 0.489, P = 0.0100), patients with CAP < 274 dB/m (β = - 2.215, 95% CI: - 3.621 to - 0.808, P = 0.0023) and patients with LSM ≥8.2 kPa (β = - 4.074, 95% CI: - 6.237 to - 1.911, P = 0.0003). Moreover, the association was much stronger when the serum albumin was higher than 3.4 g/dL among patients with LSM ≥8.2 kPa (β = - 4.835, 95% CI: - 7.137 to - 2.533, P < 0.0001). CONCLUSION Our study revealed an inverse association between serum albumin and depression in CLD patients and this association differed according to liver histological changes. Serum albumin could be a warning marker for depressive symptoms in CLD patients. It is essential for taking corresponding intervention strategies.

Abstract
UNLABELLED There is interest in the role of peripheral interleukin-6 (IL-6) in depression and the effect of treatment (e. g., pharmacologic, psychosocial, neurostimulation). However, the relationship between cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), IL-6 and depression has not yet been established. We conducted a meta-analysis to explore the association between CBT and change of peripheral IL-6 levels in depressive symptoms or major depressive disorder (MDD). A systematic search of online databases (i.e., PubMed, Web of Science, Google Scholar, PsycINFO, and Cochrane Library) was completed from inception to May 2021. In total, 10 eligible papers with 940 participants reporting peripheral IL-6 levels before and after CBT were included in the analysis. The main result indicates that peripheral levels of IL-6 were significantly lower after CBT intervention in individuals with depression, with a small effect (SMD = 0.38, 95% CI: 0.07, 0.69, p = 0.02). The results of subgroup analyses demonstrate that (1) there was a significant decrease in IL-6 for studies that were equal to or <8 weeks in duration vs. more than 8 weeks in duration, and (2) IL-6 was significantly reduced in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) diagnosis (i.e., DSM-IV, DSM-IV-TR, or DSM-V) of MDD, but not for the subgroup without DSM diagnosis. Publication year was identified as a potential contributor to heterogeneity of the results from our analysis. Taken together, our findings support the notion that CBT influences peripheral IL-6 in individuals with depression and represents a point of commonality with other antidepressant treatment modalities (e.g., antidepressants).

Abstract
SARS‐CoV‐2 infection can present either an asymptomatic or symptomatic; the spectrum of symptomatic infection ranges from mild to critical. A majority of patients have experienced mild symptoms with a good prognosis. But approximately 14% of them have severe infection presenting with hypoxemia and extensive lung involvement. The current mini‐review describes the dysregulation of immune response for SARS‐CoV‐2 viral pneumonia and virus‐induced lung injury. Also, many confounding factors can increase lung injury, in addition to virus‐induced lung injury. Especially in critically ill patients, confounding factors can cause the inflammatory cascade, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), and mortality.

Abstract
Objective(s): The present study aimed to investigate the effects of periodontitis on kidneys and the protective role of crocin in periodontitis-induced kidney damage. Materials and Methods: Ethics committee approval was obtained and 30 Wistar rats were randomly divided into 3 groups of 10 rats: Control (C), Periodontitis (P), and Periodontitis + Crocin (P + Cr). After the treatments, rat kidney tissues were incised under anesthesia and blood samples were collected. Biochemical and histopathological analyses were conducted on the samples. Results: Malondialdehyde (MDA), total oxidant status (TOS), and oxidative stress index (OSI) increased in P group rat kidney tissues; urea, creatinine, Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and interleukin 1β (IL-1β) levels increased in the serum; glutathione (GSH), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and total antioxidant status (TAS) levels were reduced in rat kidney tissues, and renal histopathology deteriorated. In the P + Cr group, we observed improvements in biochemical and histopathological parameters when compared with the P group. Conclusion: Periodontitis (P) led to deterioration in oxidative stress parameters and histopathology by increasing the oxidants in kidney tissue. P also led to inflammation in the blood of the rats. Periodontitis + Crocin (P + Cr) administration alleviated the effects of P due to powerful antioxidant anti-inflammatory properties. Cr could be employed as a protective agent in P-induced inflammation and oxidative damage.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to investigate possible associations between interleukin-6 (IL-6), interferon-gamma (INF-γ), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), lactoferrin and lipopolysaccharide binding protein (LBP) with TRP metabolism and signs of depression in a large cohort of outpatients referred for carbohydrate malabsorption testing. Serum concentrations of IL-6, INF-γ, TNF-α, lactoferrin, LBP, tryptophan (TRP), kynurenine (KYN) and kynuric acid were determined in 250 adults referred for lactose and fructose malabsorption testing. All participants filled out the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). Serum IL-6 levels were positively correlated with the BDI score (p = 0.001, ρ = 0.205) and indicators of TRP metabolism (KYN/TRP ratio, KYN) (P-values < 0.05, ρ = 0.176 and 0.136). Ninety-five individuals with a BDI score > 13 showed significantly higher IL-6 serum levels (1.7 [1.0 - 2.8] vs. 1.1 [0.8 - 1.7] pg/mL, p < 0.001) compared to 115 individuals with a BDI score ≤ 13. LBP showed a positive correlation with the KYN/TRP ratio (p = 0.005, ρ = 0.177). IL-6 and LBP were associated with indicators of TRP metabolism. IL-6 was found to be linked to signs of depression. Individuals with the presence of depressive symptoms showed higher serum IL-6 levels compared to individuals without depressive symptoms.

Abstract
PURPOSE Lifestyle changes associated with end-stage renal disease may be a factor in depression and quality of life (QOL) for patients receiving hemodialysis. This cross-sectional study examined the relationship between nutritional status, QOL, and depression in 124 hemodialysis patients. METHODS Nutritional markers included serum albumin, normalized protein catabolic rate (nPCR), body mass index (BMI), body fat percentage, and daily protein intake. Physical and Mental dimension scores of the Kidney Disease QOL-Short Form (KDQOL-SF), and the Center for Epidemiological Studies of Depression (CESD) survey were used to measure QOL and depression, respectively. Data were analyzed using regression analyses. Measures of effect size were used for interpretation. RESULTS Nutritional status indicators explained a moderate amount of the variability of the Physical dimension of QOL (crude R2 = .14, covariate-adjusted ΔR2 = .06) but had weak explanatory ability for the Mental dimension of QOL (crude R2 = .05, covariate-adjusted ΔR2 = .02) and CESD (crude R2 = .02, covariate-adjusted ΔR2 = .005). Additional findings suggested the presence of non-linear relationships between protein intake and both the Physical and Mental QOL dimension scores. Longer dialysis vintage was also correlated with lower psychosocial patient outcomes. CONCLUSION While nutritional status is an important element in predicting hemodialysis patient outcomes, its relationship to depression and QOL, in this sample, demonstrated only moderate explanatory ability. However, dialysis vintage and level of education had a significant relationship with depression and QOL. These findings suggest that patients with longer dialysis vintage and limited health literacy require unique plans of care. Future studies aimed at understanding the interrelationships between non-modifiable patient characteristics and psychosocial outcomes are imperative.

Abstract
Spirituality is an important factor that may mediate the detrimental impacts of hemodialysis on mental health. Lack of research examining spirituality and mental health in the Arab world in general and Jordan in particular encouraged this research. The study examined levels of spirituality, depression and anxiety and explored the association between them among patients receiving hemodialysis treatment in Jordan. A cross-sectional design was used to recruit 202 patients receiving hemodialysis treatment. Self-administered questionnaires including spiritual well-being scale, depression and anxiety and a demographic data sheet were used. The data were analyzed using SPSS and descriptive, inferential statistics and linear multivariate regression. The majority of respondents reported moderate mean levels of spirituality well-being (62.4%), while 60.9% and 80.2% scored low-to-moderate levels of depression, respectively. Only 22.3% reported moderate-to-severe anxiety levels. Increasing anxiety and number of co-morbid conditions were predictors of depression. No significant correlations were found between spirituality neither with the sample characteristics nor with depression and anxiety. It was found that depression and anxiety are common among respondents. Spirituality was of medium importance to them, yet it was not significantly associated with depression and anxiety. The implications of this study for holistic clinical practice are explored.

Abstract
Objectives The aim of this study was to investigate comorbidities in patients with end-stage renal disease, and to compare health-related quality of life (HRQOL) according to the type, and number of comorbidities. Methods A total of 250 adults undergoing hemodialysis were recruited at local clinics. HRQOL was measured using the 12-item Medical Outcomes Study Short Form questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, analysis of variance, and t test. Results Around 70.8% of patients with end stage renal disease had 1 or more comorbidities, and the most common comorbidities were hypertension, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. HRQOL was significantly different based on the number of comorbidities (F = 9.83, p < 0.001). The effect of comorbidities on the scores for mental health domains of the HRQOL questionnaire was not conclusive compared with the scores for the physical domain which were conclusive. Among the comorbidities, diabetes was associated with a lower quality of life. Conclusion The customized management of diabetic and hypertensive patients is necessary for the early detection and prevention of chronic kidney disease, and slowing the progression of renal disease and managing cardiovascular risk factors is essential.

Abstract
BackgroundInflammatory biomarkers are elevated in patients with CKD and associated with poor outcomes. Major depressive disorder (MDD) is prevalent in CKD and associated with inflammation. No studies investigated the effect of MDD treatment on plasma inflammatory biomarkers in patients with nondialysis CKD.MethodsIn a prespecified analysis of the randomized, double-blind CKD Antidepressant Sertraline Trial, we investigated whether treatment with sertraline versus placebo or response to treatment would affect plasma levels of albumin, prealbumin, IL-6, and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), measured at baseline and after 12 weeks of treatment. We also explored whether somatic versus nonsomatic depressive symptoms, measured using the Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology, and quality-of-life subscales, measured using the Kidney Disease Quality of Life Short Form, were associated with baseline levels of these inflammatory biomarkers.ResultsOf the 193 participants, mean age was 58.4 (SD 13) years and 58% were black, 42% were white, and 18% were Hispanic. Higher baseline hsCRP correlated with somatic depressive symptoms (r=0.21; P=0.01), fatigue (r=0.22; P=0.005), and poorer physical functioning (r=−0.26; P=0.001). There was no change in hsCRP in the sertraline group. hsCRP increased in placebo nonresponders from baseline (median, 3.7 mg/L; interquartile range [IQR], 1.7–10.0 mg/L) to exit (median, 4.9 mg/L; IQR, 1.8–8.8 mg/L; P=0.01). The change from baseline to exit differed between placebo responders (median, −0.4 mg/L; IQR, −9.3 to 0.2 mg/L) and nonresponders (median, 0.8 mg/L; IQR, −0.1 to 3.9 mg/L; P=0.008). There were no differences in changes in albumin, prealbumin, or IL-6 from baseline in any group.ConclusionsAmong patients with CKD and MDD, hsCRP correlated with somatic symptoms of depression and fatigue, but not with nonsomatic symptoms. Sertraline treatment was not associated with a longitudinal change in hsCRP from baseline regardless of treatment effect on depressive symptoms, but those who failed to respond to placebo had an increase in hsCRP over time. This area deserves further investigation.Clinical Trial registry name and registration number:CKD Antidepressant Sertraline Trial (CAST), NCT00946998.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Depression and inflammation are intertwined, which is particularly relevant for patients with lung cancer who have an abundance of inflammation and experience depression. Acute phase reactants (APRs), albumin and C-reactive protein (CRP), are easily interpretable indirect markers of inflammation that have never been concomitantly compared with depression. Inflammation increases CRP (positive APR) and decreases albumin (negative APR). We hypothesize that albumin will be similarly associated with depression, thereby helping to inform the diagnosis of inflammatory depression. OBJECTIVE Compares the relationship between depression and representative positive and negative acute phase reactants in patients with metastatic lung cancer. METHODS Patients (n = 109) with metastatic lung cancer were evaluated for depression using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. Inflammation as measured by positive (CRP) and negative (albumin) APRs along with demographic and treatment variables were analyzed for associations with depression. RESULTS Depression was associated with lower albumin (r = -0.35, P < 0.001), higher CRP (r = 0.47, P < 0.001), and the CRP/albumin ratio (r = 0.45, P < 0.001). Hierarchical linear regression modeling found that albumin was associated with depression when controlling for demographics, disease, and treatment types (β = -0.28, P = 0.01). When both APRs were in the model, only CRP predicted depression (β = 0.31, P = 0.01), and albumin did not moderate CRP and depression. CRP/albumin ratio did not add to understanding depression variability, but patients with both low albumin and high CRP had particularly severe depression. CONCLUSION Albumin is associated with depression but not to a greater extent than CRP. The coupling of lower albumin and higher CRP describes more severe depression. Positive and negative APRs may form a distinct biologic signature to help identify patients with inflammatory depression in the lung cancer setting.

Abstract
Major depressive disorder (MDD), which is a leading psychiatric illness across the world, severely affects quality of life and causes an increased incidence of suicide. Evidence from animal as well as clinical studies have indicated that increased peripheral or central cytokine interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels play an important role in stress reaction and depressive disorder, especially physical disorders comorbid with depression. Increased release of IL-6 in MDD has been found to be a factor associated with MDD prognosis and therapeutic response, and may affect a wide range of depressive symptomatology. However, study results of the IL6 genetic effects in MDD are controversial. Increased IL-6 activity may cause depression through activation of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis or influence of the neurotransmitter metabolism. The important role of neuroinflammation in MDD pathogenesis has created a new perspective that the combining of blood IL-6 and other depression-related cytokine levels may help to classify MDD biological subtypes, which may allow physicians to identify the optimal treatment for MDD patients. To modulate the IL-6 activity by IL-6-related agents, current antidepressive agents, herb medication, pre-/probiotics or non-pharmacological interventions may hold great promise for the MDD patients with inflammatory features.

Abstract
Introduction Depression comorbid with chronic disease may be mediated by inflammation. We sought to characterize relationships between inflammatory biomarkers and depressive symptoms in patients with chronic kidney disease and end-stage kidney disease. Methods A systematic literature search was conducted by 2 authors up to March 19, 2019, for studies of patients with chronic kidney disease or end-stage kidney disease evaluating circulating inflammatory biomarkers associated with depression of chronic disease: albumin, C-reactive protein (CRP), high-sensitivity CRP, interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α, and interleukin-1. Standardized mean differences in biomarkers between individuals with and without depression were computed and analyzed using mixed effects models. Correlations between biomarkers and the severity of depressive symptoms were computed. Results Thirty-four studies (5652 participants) compared biomarkers between depressed and nondepressed individuals. Individuals with depression had lower albumin levels (standardized mean difference, −0.37; 95% confidence interval [CI], −0.61 to −0.13), higher CRP levels (standardized mean difference, 0.76; 95% CI, 0.16–1.37), and higher IL-6 levels (standardized mean difference, 0.42; 95% CI, 0.21–0.63). Studies were heterogeneous for albumin, CRP, high-sensitivity CRP, and tumor necrosis factor-α. Twenty-three studies (3047 participants) investigated correlations between biomarkers and depressive symptoms. The severity of depressive symptoms correlated with albumin (Z = −0.25; 95% CI, −0.36 to −0.14), high-sensitivity CRP (Z = 0.28; 95% CI, 0.13–0.43), and IL-6 (Z = 0.34; 95% CI, 0.18–0.49). There was heterogeneity across studies of IL-6. Only 6 studies (321 participants) investigated the effect of antidepressant treatment on inflammatory biomarkers, which was insufficient to combine in meta-analysis. Conclusion Lower albumin and higher IL-6 were associated with both the presence and severity of depression, CRP with the presence of depression, and high-sensitivity CRP with the severity of depressive symptoms. The effect of interventions to lower inflammation in patients with kidney disease and depression deserves investigation.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study was conducted to examine the associations among uncertainty, depression, social support, and self-care compliance in patients undergoing hemodialysis, and to identify the factors influencing self-care compliance. METHODS A convenience sample of 152 patients receiving hemodialysis was selected. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlations, and hierarchical regression analysis with the SPSS 23.0 program. RESULTS Participants performed a moderate level of self-care consisting of factors such as knowledge of hemodialysis, dietary knowledge of hemodialysis, dietary compliance with hemodialysis, and compliance with hemodialysis order. The self-care compliance of participants undergoing hemodialysis showed a significant relationship with depression, uncertainty, and social support. The factors significantly influencing self-care compliance were social support and occupation. These variables explained 24.9% of the variance in self-care compliance. CONCLUSION Findings from this study confirmed that uncertainty, depression, and social support are major factors affecting self-care compliance, and that the higher the patients' uncertainty, the lower their self-care compliance. Thus, interventions should be performed to reduce uncertainty and to improve self-care through accurate information and education on disease progression and self-care.

Abstract
Background and aim: Albumin is a protein with multifaceted functions in the human body. According to many studies, lower serum albumin may be associated with depression in various groups of psychiatric and non-psychiatric patients, as well as with attempted suicide. As more severe depressive symptoms have been identified as a reliable risk factor for suicide in patients with high suicide risk, it would be of interest to study whether, the inverse association between depressive symptoms and albumin may exist among patients with attempted suicide. Therefore, the aim of the study was to investigate the possible association between albumin and depressive symptoms among individuals who recently attempted suicide. Methods: One-hundred twenty-seven individuals with a recent suicide attempt were involved in the study between 1987 and 2001. Albumin was analyzed in serum. Patients were evaluated with the Comprehensive Psychopathological Rating Scale (CPRS) from which the Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) and the item assessing Apparent sadness were derived. Results: Only among patients aged ≥45, serum albumin levels were significantly and negatively correlated with total scores of MADRS and the item Apparent sadness (all p values <.00625). Conclusions: Our findings indicate an inverse association between serum albumin and the severity of depressive symptoms in individuals who attempted suicide, older than 45 years.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the efficacy and safety of intradialytic exercise for haemodialysis patients. DESIGN Systematic review and meta-analysis. DATA SOURCES Databases, including PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, China Biology Medicine and China National Knowledge Infrastructure, were screened from inception to March 2017. ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) aimed at comparing the efficacy and safety of intradialytic exercise versus no exercise in adult patients on haemodialysis for at least 3 months. A minimum exercise programme period of 8 weeks. DATA EXTRACTION Study characteristics and study quality domains were reviewed. Studies were selected, and data extracted by two reviewers. DATA ANALYSIS The pooled risk ratios and mean differences (MDs) with 95% CIs for dichotomous data and continuous data were calculated, respectively. RESULTS A total of 27 RCTs involving 1215 subjects were analysed. Compared with no exercise, intradialytic exercise increased dialysis adequacy (Kt/V) (MD 0.07, 95% CI 0.01 to 0.12, p=0.02) and maximum volume of oxygen that the body can use during physical exertion peak oxygen consumption (MD 4.11, 95% CI 2.94 to 5.27, p<0.0001), alleviated depression standardised mean difference (-1.16, 95% CI -1.86 to -0.45, p=0.001) and improved physical component summary-short form-36 (SF-36) level (MD 7.72, 95% CI 1.93 to 13.51, p=0.009). Also, intradialytic exercise could significantly reduce systolic blood pressure (MD -4.87, 95% CI -9.20 to -0.55, p=0.03) as well as diastolic blood pressure (MD -4.11, 95% CI -6.50 to -1.72, p=0.0007). However, intradialytic exercise could not improve mental component summary-SF-36 level (MD 3.05, 95% CI -1.47 to 7.57, p=0.19). There was no difference in the incidence of adverse events between the intradialytic exercise and control groups. CONCLUSIONS Intradialytic exercise resulted in benefits in terms of improving haemodialysis adequacy, exercise capacity, depression and quality of life for haemodialysis.

Abstract
Albumin is a metal-binding protein with free-radical scavenging properties and is recognized as a vital antioxidant. Moreover, an excess of free radicals may contribute to depressive symptoms and the psychopathology of psychiatric disorders. This study examined serum albumin levels, depressive symptoms, and their association in patients with schizophrenia. Thirty-four patients with schizophrenia (diagnosed according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth edition) and 136 healthy controls were consecutively enrolled in this case-control study. The clinical psychiatric symptoms in patients with schizophrenia were assessed using the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS). Serum albumin levels were measured in all participants using an immunoturbidimetric method. This study was conducted between 2016 and 2017. Serum albumin levels were significantly lower in patients with schizophrenia compared to healthy controls after adjusting for gender, age and education (F = 16.04, p = 0.000). Serum albumin levels were negatively correlated with the depressive score of PANSS in patients with schizophrenia (r = -0.37, p = 0.03). Additionally, a further stepwise multivariate regression analysis showed that serum albumin levels were significantly associated with the depressive score of PANSS in patients with schizophrenia (ß = -0.37, t = -2.25, p = 0.03). Our data suggested that decreased serum albumin levels may contribute to the psychopathology of schizophrenia and that a decline in serum albumin levels was associated with the severity of depressive symptoms in patients with schizophrenia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study assessed the possible association of serum brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) with depressive and anxiety symptoms in hemodialysis (HD) patients. METHOD An analytical cross-sectional study was conducted over 274 HD patients from March to October 2017. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) was utilized to evaluate depressive (HADS-D) and anxiety (HADS-A) symptoms. The HADS-D/A is a self-report instrument that has a maximum score of 21. Serum BDNF and IL-6 were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbant assay (ELISA). RESULTS Serum IL-6 was significantly higher in patients with depressive symptoms compared to normal (20.47 ± 4.27 pg/mL for HADS-D ≥11 versus 9.26 ± 1.59 pg/mL for HADS-D <7, p = 0.014). Multivariable regression analysis revealed that IL-6, education level, hypertension, and dialysis duration were significant predictors of HADS-D. Also, gender, education level, hypertension, and the number of dialysis sessions/week were significant predictors of HADS-A. Significant positive correlation was shown between HADS-D and IL-6 (r = 0.1729, p = 0.004). CONCLUSION Collectively, HD patients with depressive symptoms showed higher levels of IL-6, supporting previous findings that the circulating inflammatory mediator IL-6 can be used as a biomarker for prediction of depressive symptoms in HD patients. Further longitudinal or interventional studies are needed to further validate this association.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Possibly, different biochemical parameters are involved in the development of depressive symptoms in white and non-white dialysis patients. We examined whether the association between inflammation and depressive symptoms and between tryptophan and depressive symptoms differs between white and non-white dialysis patients and whether the association between inflammation and depressive symptoms is mediated by tryptophan degradation along the kynurenine pathway in both groups. METHOD Depressive symptoms were measured with the BDI-II. HsCRP, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-10, and TNFα and tryptophan and its degradation products kynurenine and 3-hydroxykynurenine were measured in 270 white and 220 non-white patients. RESULTS The presence of depressive symptoms was significantly higher in non-white patients (51%) than in white patients (37%) (P<0.01). Among white patients, HsCRP was significantly associated with depressive symptoms (β=0.6 (95% CI: 0.1-1.2)). Among non-white patients, significant associations with depressive symptoms were found for both HsCRP (β=1.0 (95% CI: 0.1-2.0)) and IL-6 (β=2.6 (95% CI: 0.8-4.4)). Tryptophan levels were only significantly associated with depressive symptoms in non-white patients (β=-0.3 (95% CI: -0.4--0.1)). Tryptophan degradation along the kynurenine pathway did not mediate the association between inflammatory markers and depressive symptoms in either group. CONCLUSION Our results indicate that for white and non-white dialysis patients different biochemical parameters are associated with depressive symptoms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND As both of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and depression carried a poor prognosis in patients on maintenance hemodialysis (MHD), we investigated the correlation between the ankle-brachial index (ABI), an indicator of subclinical PAD, and symptoms of depression in patients on MHD. METHODS One hundred and twenty-nine patients on MHD (75 males and 54 females, mean age 64.8 ± 12 years) were enrolled in this cross-sectional study, which aimed at evaluating the relationship between symptoms of depression and ABI. Demographic as well as clinical and laboratory variables including status of diabetes, chronic hepatitis C infection, dialysis duration, Charlson comorbidity index (CCI), plasma levels of albumin, C-peptide, insulin, high-sensitive C-reactive protein (hsCRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), adiponectin, and lipid profile were obtained. The self-administered beck depression inventory (BDI) was used to determine the presence or absence of symptoms of depression, and depression was defined as a BDI score ≧14. Multivariable-adjusted linear regression models were constructed to confirm the independent association of biologic parameters of symptoms of depression. Significance was defined as P < 0.05. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS/Windows software (SPSS Science, v. 15.0, Chicago, IL). RESULTS The mode of multivariate analysis showed that diabetes (β = 3.594; P = 0.040), hepatitis C infection (β = 4.057; P = 0.008), levels of serum albumin (β = -5.656; P = 0.024), C-peptide (β = -0.292; P = 0.002), ABI (β = -9.041; P = 0.031), and Ln-transformed hsCRP were significantly associated with BDI. CONCLUSIONS Hepatitis C infection, serum levels of albumin, C-peptide, and ABI levels were found to be correlated with BDI (P < 0.05).

Prevalence and related factors of depressive symptoms in hemodialysis patients in northern China. BMC Psychiatry 2017; 17:128. [PMID: 28381216 PMCID: PMC5382415 DOI: 10.1186/s12888-017-1294-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/03/2016] [Accepted: 03/31/2017] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND To determine the prevalence of depressive symptoms and to explore related factors of depressive symptoms in hemodialysis (HD) patients in northern China. METHODS We used a cross-sectional research design to recruit 227 chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients who were undergoing HD treatment in northern China during December, 2012 to March, 2013. The Chinese edition of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression (CES-D) was used to measure depressive symptoms. Information on quality of life (QOL), activities of daily living (ADL), social support status, coping style, self-efficacy, ego resiliency and demographic characteristics was all collected by face to face interview. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to explore related factors of depressive symptoms. RESULTS The prevalence of depressive symptoms among HD patients was 29.1%. Patients with a lower mood have worse ADL and QOL than patients with better mood. Patients with a lower mood have got less social support than patients with better mood, including both family support and outside family support. For coping style, patients with a lower mood were more inclined to choose "acceptance-resignation" coping style than patients with better mood, while the result is opposite in "avoidance" coping style. And patients with a better mood have better self-efficacy and ego resiliency than patients with lower mood. Multivariate logistic regression analyses revealed that ADL (OR = 1.124, p = 0.002), family support (OR = 0.867, p = 0.021), "acceptance-resignation" coping style (OR = 1.228, p = 0.022), and ego resiliency (OR = 0.944, p = 0.021) were associated with low mood independently. CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of depressive symptoms is high in CKD patients on HD in northern China. activities of daily living, family support, "acceptance-resignation" coping style and ego resiliency were independently associated with depressive symptoms.

[PMID: 27803725 PMCID: PMC5087286 DOI: 10.17795/ijpbs-4962] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/23/2014] [Revised: 12/25/2015] [Accepted: 02/05/2016] [Indexed: 01/18/2023]
Abstract
Background Depression and anxiety are common among hemodialysis patients and affect their treatment outcomes. Dialysis adequacy also affects the hemodialysis patients’ survival rates. Objectives This study aimed to evaluate the correlation between anxiety and depression with dialysis adequacy. Patients and Methods In this cross-sectional study, 127 hemodialysis patients (73 males, 57.5%) with the mean age of 55.7 ± 17.5 were enrolled. Demographic and recent laboratory data were collected using self-administered questionnaires and by reviewing medical records. Dialysis adequacy measures including the Kt/V and urea reduction rate (URR) were calculated using standard formulas. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) was used to diagnose depression and anxiety. Independent sample t-test and Chi-square test were used to compare the values in different groups. Pearson correlations and linear regression were used to analyze the data using SPSS version 21. Results The prevalence rates of depression and anxiety (HADS score ≥ 8) were 31.5% and 41.7%, respectively. The prevalence of both conditions was significantly higher in women than in men (P < 0.05). The mean values of Kt/V and URR were not different in patients with and without depression or anxiety. The anxiety scores were correlated with age (P = 0.007, r = -0.24) and parathyroid hormone (P = 0.04, r = -0.19). Younger age and lower parathyroid hormone were the only factors that predicted higher scores of anxiety in linear regression. The Kt/V or URR were not significantly correlated with depression and anxiety scores. Conclusions Depression and anxiety are common among hemodialysis patients. There are no statistically significant correlation between depression and anxiety and dialysis adequacy.

Abstract
Objective: To prospectively evaluate depressive symptoms, nutritional status, and quality of life (QoL) and search for possible associations in patients with end-stage renal disease undergoing hemodialysis. Methods: A cohort study of 104 adult patients with end-stage renal disease undergoing hemodialysis was conducted. Anthropometric, clinical, and biochemical variables were evaluated after a midweek hemodialysis session. The participants’ body composition was assessed by direct segmental multi-frequency bioimpedance analysis. The WHOQOL-Bref questionnaire was used to evaluate QoL. Participants were separated into two groups - depressive symptoms and no depressive symptoms - at inclusion and evaluated annually for 2 years thereafter using the Beck Depression Inventory. Survival analysis used the Kaplan-Meier method and Cox regression analysis for the goodness of fit of associated factors. All-cause mortality was the outcome of interest. Results: Participants’ mean age was 55.3±15.6 years, 60% were male, and the median time on hemodialysis was 17.5 (8.0-36.8) months. Thirty-two patients had depressive symptoms and a significantly lower QoL compared with the 72 patients in the no depressive symptoms group. The fitted outcome model showed that lean body mass had a protective effect against all-cause mortality (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.89; 95%CI 0.80-0.99; p = 0.038). Conclusion: Depressive symptoms were highly prevalent in the cohort, and correlated with the physical and psychological components of the QoL life questionnaire, as well as with C-reactive protein and phosphorus levels. Lean body mass was protective for the assessed outcome.

Abstract
Biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease (AD) progression are needed to support the development of urgently needed disease modifying drugs. We employed a SOMAscan assay for quantifying 1,001 proteins in blood samples from 90 AD subjects, 37 stable mild cognitive impaired (MCI) subjects, 39 MCI subjects converting to AD within a year and 69 controls at baseline and one year follow up. We used linear mixed effects models to identify proteins changing significantly over one year with the rate of cognitive decline, which was quantified as the reduction in Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) scores. Additionally, we investigated proteins changing differently across disease groups and during the conversion from MCI to AD. We found that levels of proteins belonging to the complement cascade increase significantly in fast declining AD patients. Longitudinal changes in the complement cascade might be a surrogate biomarker for disease progression. We also found that members of the cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction pathway change during AD when compared to healthy aging subjects.

Abstract
Systemic inflammation is a condition intrinsically linked to chronic kidney disease (CKD) and its other typical sequelae, such as acquired immune dysfunction, protein-energy wasting (PEW), and accelerated vascular aging that promote premature cardiovascular disease (CVD) and infections, the two leading causes of death in CKD patients. Inflammation is a major contributor to complications in CKD, and inflammatory markers, such as C-reactive protein and pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines, correlate with underlying causes and consequences of the inflamed uremic phenotype, such as oxidative stress, endothelial dysfunction, CVD, PEW, and infections, and are sensitive and independent predictors of outcome in CKD. Therefore, inflammation appears to be a logical target for potential preventive and therapeutic interventions in patients with CKD. Putative anti-inflammatory therapy strategies aiming at preventing complications and improving outcomes in CKD span over several areas: (1) dealing with the source of inflammation (such as cardiovascular, gastrointestinal or periodontal disease and depression); (2) providing nonspecific immune modulatory effects by promoting healthy dietary habits and other lifestyle changes; (3) promoting increased use of recognized pharmacologic interventions that have pleiotropic effects; and, (4) introducing novel targeted anticytokine interventions. This review provides a brief update on inflammatory biomarkers and possible therapeutic approaches targeting inflammation and the uremic inflammatory milieu in patients with CKD.

Abstract
Maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients display reduced daily physical activity (DPA) and physical performance (PP). Previous studies did not differentiate the effects of kidney failure and MHD treatments from comorbidities as causes for reduced DPA and PP. In relatively healthy MHD patients and normal adults, we evaluated DPA and PP and examined relationships between DPA and PP and possible associations between anxiety or depression and DPA and PP. DPA, 6-minute walk distance (6-MWD), sit-to-stand (STS), and stair-climbing tests were measured in 72 MHD patients (40% diabetics) with limited comorbidities and 39 normal adults of similar age and gender mix. Anxiety and depression were measured by the Beck anxiety and depression inventories. DPA, time-averaged over 7 days, and all 3 PP tests were impaired in MHD patients, to about 60% to 70% of normal values (P < .0001 for each measurement). MHD patients spent more time sleeping or physically inactive (P < .0001) and less time in ≥ moderate activity (P < .0001). Adjusted DPA correlated with 6-MWD but not STS or stair-climbing. Anxiety and depression were identified in 43% and 33% of MHD patients and 2.5% and 5.1% of normals (P < .0001 for each comparison). Most of the impairment in DPA and PP tests were also observed in MHD patients without anxiety or depression. However, MHD patients with both anxiety and depression generally had the most impaired DPA and PP. In MHD patients, higher adjusted anxiety scores were correlated with impaired 6-MWD and STS, whereas adjusted average DPA was negatively correlated with depression (r = -0.33, P = .006) but not anxiety. DPA on the hemodialysis day (P = .01), day after dialysis (P = .03), and day 2 after dialysis (P = .03) each correlated negatively with degree of depression but not with anxiety. MHD patients displayed negative-adjusted correlations between anxiety and 6-MWD (P = .03) and STS (P = .04). In relatively healthy MHD patients, DPA and PP are substantially impaired and correlated with each other, even in patients without evidence for anxiety or depression. Anxiety and depression are common in MHD patients and are associated with further impairment in DPA and PP.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES Post-stroke depression affects approximately one third of stroke survivors. In non-stroke affected populations, depressive symptomatology is associated with hypoalbuminemia. This is also common among stroke survivors and associated with poor outcome and increased mortality. The role of stroke-associated hypoalbuminemia in post-stroke depression is not clear. We aimed to explore the relationship between serum albumin and post-stroke depression, as measured 20 months post-stroke. SUBJECTS/METHODS Observational cohort study of elderly Swedish patients drawn from the 'Gothenburg 70+ Stroke Study' (n=149) and assessed at 20 months after stroke onset. Serum albumin was drawn from venous blood and analysed with gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. Depressive symptomatology was assessed using the Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) and functional impairment was assessed using the Barthel Index. RESULTS Analysis of covariance analysis showed that serum albumin levels were associated with depressive symptoms at 20 months after stroke. Multivariate analysis of covariance showed that disability scores at 3 days were associated with depressive symptoms at 20 months after stroke and after accounting for the age covariate. Stroke survivors were not clinically deficient in serum albumin. CONCLUSIONS Low serum albumin appears to be associated with depressive symptoms in elderly individuals long term post-stroke.

Abstract
The common causes of death in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients are cardiovascular events and infectious disease. These patients are also predisposed to the development of vitamin D deficiency, which leads to an increased risk of immune dysfunction. Many extra-renal cells possess the capability to produce local active 1,25(OH)2D in an intracrine or paracrine fashion, even without kidney function. Vitamin D affects both the innate and adaptive immune systems. In innate immunity, vitamin D promotes production of cathelicidin and β-defensin 2 and enhances the capacity for autophagy via toll-like receptor activation as well as affects complement concentrations. In adaptive immunity, vitamin D suppresses the maturation of dendritic cells and weakens antigen presentation. Vitamin D also increases T helper (Th) 2 cytokine production and the efficiency of Treg lymphocytes but suppresses the secretion of Th1 and Th17 cytokines. In addition, vitamin D can decrease autoimmune disease activity. Vitamin D has been shown to play an important role in maintaining normal immune function and crosstalk between the innate and adaptive immune systems. Vitamin D deficiency may also contribute to deterioration of immune function and infectious disorders in CKD patients. However, it needs more evidence to support the requirements for vitamin D supplementation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Depression and anxiety are common mental health problems in transplant populations. There is mixed evidence concerning whether they increase morbidity and mortality risks after transplantation. If such associations exist, additional risk reduction strategies may be needed. METHODS Four bibliographic databases were searched from 1981 through September 2014 for studies prospectively examining whether depression or anxiety (determined with diagnostic evaluations or standardized symptom scales) affected risk for posttransplant mortality, graft loss, acute graft rejection, chronic rejection, cancer, infection, and rehospitalization. RESULTS Twenty-seven studies (10 heart, total n = 1738; 6 liver, n = 1063; 5 kidney, n = 49515; 4 lung, n = 584; 1 pancreas, n = 80; 1 mixed recipient sample, n = 205) were identified. In each, depression and/or anxiety were typically measured before or early after transplantation. Follow-up for outcomes was a median of 5.8 years (range, 0.50-18.0). Depression increased the relative risk (RR) of mortality by 65% (RR, 1.65; 95% confidence interval [95% CI], 1.34-2.05; 20 studies). Meta-regression indicated that risk was stronger in studies that did (vs did not) control for potential confounders (P = .032). Risk was unaffected by type of transplant or other study characteristics. Depression increased death-censored graft loss risk (RR, 1.65; 95% CI, 1.21-2.26, 3 studies). Depression was not associated with other morbidities (each morbidity was assessed in 1-4 studies). Anxiety did not significantly increase mortality risk (RR, 1.39; 95% CI, 0.85-2.27, 6 studies) or morbidity risks (assessed in single studies). CONCLUSIONS Depression increases risk for posttransplant mortality. Few studies considered morbidities; the depression-graft loss association suggests that linkages with morbidities deserve greater attention. Depression screening and treatment may be warranted, although whether these activities would reduce posttransplant mortality requires study.

Abstract
Depression is a common psychiatric disorder in patients with advanced chronic kidney diseases (CKDs). Strong correlation has been reported between depression and patients' morbidity and mortality among dialysis patients. On the contrary, chronic inflammation may be a major contributor to morbidity and mortality in these patients. Elevated plasma levels of proinflammatory cytokines, especially C-reactive protein and interleukin (IL)-6, have been correlated with cardiovascular events, hospitalization, and all-cause and cardiovascular-associated mortality in dialysis patients. Studies suggested that inflammation-mediated atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases are the possible reasons for depression-induced mortality among patients without renal diseases. Several studies found significant elevations in circulating levels of proinflammatory cytokines, particularly IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α, in patients with major depression. Furthermore, depressive mood and behaviors, including sadness and suicidal ideation, were observed in patients who received repeated injections of recombinant cytokines. A thorough literature review indicates that while depressive symptoms and elevated inflammatory cytokine levels coexist in CKD and dialysis patients, their association is uncertain. Depression seems to be more associated with elevated serum levels of IL-6 than other cytokines in these patients. Further studies are needed to clarify the possibility of a causal relationship between inflammation and depressive symptoms in CKD and dialysis patients.

Abstract
Geographic remoteness has been found to influence health-related outcomes negatively. As reported in the literature, rural dialysis patients have a higher risk of mortality with increasing travel distance to dialysis units. However, few studies have focused on the impact of travel distances on the development of dialysis complications. We utilized a prospectively collected chronic hemodialysis patient cohort from a rural regional hospital for analysis. Data on demographics, comorbidities, and serum laboratory results were obtained. Correlation analyses between travel distance to dialysis units and dialysis complications were conducted, and significantly correlated parameters were entered into multivariate logistic regression models to determine their exact associations. A total of 46 rural chronic hemodialysis patients were enrolled, with an average age higher than others in the literature. Significant correlation was found between travel distance and serum hemoglobin levels (R(2) = -0.34, P value = 0.029). Multivariate logistic regression found that every 1 km increase in travel distance was associated with an increased risk of anemia (hemoglobin <9 g/dL) (odds ratio 1.46; P value = 0.01). Sensitivity analyses further showed that the associated risk was partially attenuated by serum albumin (odds ratio 1.83; P value = 0.07) and ferritin (odds ratio 1.39; P value = 0.08) levels. This is the first study to demonstrate the association between increased travel distance to dialysis units and the risk of anemia in chronic dialysis patients, especially elderly. Malnutrition, inflammation, and atherosclerosis syndrome could be partially responsible for the observed association. Further research is required to confirm our findings.

Relation between anxiety, depression, and physical activity and performance in maintenance hemodialysis patients. J Ren Nutr 2014; 24:252-60. [PMID: 24788308 DOI: 10.1053/j.jrn.2014.03.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 38] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/17/2013] [Revised: 03/04/2014] [Accepted: 03/04/2014] [Indexed: 11/11/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients have a high prevalence of anxiety and depression and decreased daily physical activity (DPA) and exercise capacity. Because affective disorders may affect DPA and physical performance, we investigated possible relationships between anxiety or depression and DPA and physical performance in relatively healthy MHD patients. DESIGN AND METHODS This cross-sectional study included 72 relatively healthy MHD patients and 39 normal adults. DPA was measured for 7 days with an Actigraph Activity Monitor®. Physical performance was assessed using the 6-minute walk (6-MWT), sit-to-stand (STS), and stair-climbing tests. Subjects completed the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI), and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Main outcome measures were physical activity counts (expressed as vector magnitude), in the 6-MWT, STS, stair-climbing test, BAI, BDI, and HADS scores. RESULTS Anxiety and depression by BAI and BDI were identified in 43% and 33% of MHD patients and 2.5% and 5% of normals, respectively (P < .0001 for each comparison). MHD patients without anxiety or depression had decreased DPA and physical performance compared with normals, indicating that these disorders were also independent of anxiety or depression. MHD patients with anxiety and depression generally had the most impaired DPA and physical performance. Higher BAI and BDI scores were each associated with impaired physical performance. In fully adjusted analyses, DPA in MHD patients was negatively correlated with the BDI (r = -0.33, P = .01) but not with the BAI. DPA on the day of hemodialysis (P = .01), and day 1 (P = .03) and day 2 (P = .03) after dialysis each correlated negatively with degree of depression by BDI. In MHD patients, BAI was negatively correlated with 6-MWT (P = .03) and STS (P = .04). CONCLUSIONS In relatively healthy adult MHD patients, anxiety and depression are common and are associated with impaired physical performance. There was a trend toward stronger negative associations between BDI scores and DPA than between BAI scores and DPA.

Abstract
AIM In hemodialysis patients, depression appears as the most common psychopathological condition. States of advanced chronic kidney disease and dialysis are associated with a state of chronic inflammation. Depression has been linked to activation of the immune system characterized by high levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines. In this study, we investigated the possible correlations between depression, and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in hemodialysis patients. METHODS Seventy-five hemodialysis patients were enrolled in a cross-sectional study from September to November 2011 in Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul. Demographic data were obtained from a questionnaire and the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) was used to determine the presence or absence of depression symptoms. Biochemical parameters, dialysisdosage delivery, and IL-6 serum levels were measured. RESULTS Prevalence of depression among hemodialysis patients was 48% (BDI ≥ 14). In biochemical assessments, depressed patients showed a decrease in urea (P = 0.01) and increase of IL-6 (P = 0.04) levels. The correlation analysis between BDI scores and the biochemical variables showed that BDI was negatively correlated with urea (P = 0.03) and potassium (P = 0.04), but not with IL-6 levels. CONCLUSION Hemodialysis patients with depression showed higher levels of IL-6 but the severity of depressive symptoms was not correlated with levels of this cytokine.

Abstract
Vitamin D and its analogues are widely used as treatments by clinical nephrologists, especially when treating chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism. As CKD progresses, the ability to compensate for elevations in parathyroid hormone (PTH) and fibroblast growth factor-23 and for decreases in 1,25(OH)2D3 becomes inadequate, which results in hyperphosphatemia, abnormal bone disorders, and extra-skeletal calcification. In addition to its calciotropic effect on the regulation of calcium, phosphate, and parathyroid hormone, vitamin D has many other noncalciotropic effects, including controlling cell differentiation/proliferation and having immunomodulatory effects. There are several immune dysregulations that can be noted when renal function declines. Physicians need to know well both the classical and nonclassical functions of vitamin D. This review is an analysis from the nephrologist's viewpoint and focuses on the relationship between the vitamin D and the immune system, together with vitamin's clinical use to treat kidney diseases.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Depression is the most prevalent comorbid psychiatric disease among hemodialysis patients with end-stage renal disease. This cross-sectional study investigated whether depression in hemodialysis patients is associated with the polymorphism of the 5' flanking transcriptional region (5-HTTLPR) of the serotonin transporter gene, the valine (Val)-to-methionine (Met) substitution at codon 66 (Val66Met) polymorphism of the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) gene, or plasma BDNF levels. METHODS A total of 188 participants (mean age: 58.5±14.0 years; 89 men and 99 women) receiving hemodialysis at the Chang Gung Memorial Hospital were recruited. The diagnosis of major depressive disorder (MDD) was confirmed using the Chinese version of the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview. The genotypes of 5-HTTLPR and BDNF Val66Met were conducted using polymerase chain reactions plus restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis. The plasma BDNF levels were measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit. RESULTS Forty-five (23.9%) patients fulfilled the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition (DSM-IV-TR) criteria for a MDD. There were no significant effects of the 5-HTTLPR or BDNF Val66Met gene polymorphism on MDD among the hemodialysis patients. The plasma BDNF levels correlated significantly with age (P=0.003) and sex (P=0.047) but not with depression, the genotypes of 5-HTTLPR and BDNF Val66Met, the current antidepressant treatment, or the duration under hemodialysis. CONCLUSION Our results did not support the hypothesis of an involvement of the 5HTTLPR and BDNF Val66Met genotypes, or plasma BDNF levels in the pathogenesis of depression, in patients receiving hemodialysis. A study with a large sample size and homogenous patient group is warranted to confirm these findings.

Abstract
Protein energy wasting is common in patients with CKD and ESRD and is associated with adverse clinical outcomes, such as increased rates of hospitalization and death, in these patients. A multitude of factors can affect the nutritional and metabolic status of patients with CKD, including decreased dietary nutrient intake, catabolic effects of renal replacement therapy, systemic inflammation, metabolic and hormonal derangements, and comorbid conditions (such as diabetes and depression). Unique aspects of CKD also confound reliable assessment of nutritional status, further complicating management of this comorbid condition. In patients in whom preventive measures and oral dietary intake from regular meals cannot help them maintain adequate nutritional status, nutritional supplementation, administered orally, enterally, or parenterally, is effective in replenishing protein and energy stores. The advantages of oral nutritional supplements include proven efficacy, safety, and compliance. Anabolic steroids and exercise, with nutritional supplementation or alone, improve protein stores and represent potential additional approaches for the treatment of PEW. There are several emerging novel therapies, such as appetite stimulants, anti-inflammatory interventions, and anabolic agents.

Abstract
Preliminary data suggest that defensive profile of hemodialysis (HD) patients might influence adaptation to the disease. However, the association of defense mechanisms with health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of HD patients remains unknown. In this cross-sectional investigation, 170 HD patients and 170 age- and sex-matched healthy participants had their psychological profile assessed with the Defense Style Questionnaire-40 and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. Furthermore, the HD patients had their HRQoL measured with the World Health Organization Quality of Life instrument-abbreviated version. The HD patients had a more neurotic and immature defensive profile. Splitting, projection, reaction formation, and denial were significantly associated with impaired HRQoL, independent of psychological distress. Somatization was an independent correlate of worse overall and physical HRQoL. These findings suggest that, apart from the treatment of psychological distress symptoms, clinicians should also consider the defensive profile of HD patients because it is independently associated with HRQoL and may be amenable to treatment.
