Abstract
Overhydration is highly prevalent in patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD), with inappropriately high sodium load supposedly playing a central role in the pathophysiology of the conditions. Recent studies have revealed the novel role of the interstitium as a buffer system for sodium ions, and it has been reported that patients on dialysis, including PD, present increased levels of sodium in the interstitium, such as in subcutaneous tissue and muscle. Hence, therapy for correction of overhydration should target the excess extracellular volume and the excess sodium storage in the interstitium. The ultrafiltrate obtained using the currently available PD solutions is hypo- to isonatric as compared to serum, which is disadvantageous for prompt and efficient sodium removal from the body in patients with overhydration. In contrast, use of low sodium PD solutions is characterised by iso- to hypernatric ultrafiltrate, which may beneficial for reducing sodium storage in the interstitium. Trials of low sodium PD solutions have reported possible clinical merits, for example, decreased blood pressure, reduced dryness of mouth and decreased body water content as assessed using bioimpedance methods. Given these observations and the high prevalence of overhydration in current PD populations, it makes medical sense that low sodium solutions be positioned as the new standard solution in the future. However, for medical safety, that is, to avoid hyponatremia and excessive decreases in blood pressure, further studies are needed to establish the appropriate compositions and applications of low sodium solutions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prognostic value of C-reactive protein/albumin ratio (CAR) is of import in cardiovascular diseases. Our aim was to evaluate the impact of the CAR in patients with asymptomatic abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) undergoing endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). MATERIAL AND METHOD We retrospectively evaluated 127 consecutive patients who underwent technically successful elective EVAR procedure between December 2014 and September 2020. The optimal CAR cut-off value was determined by using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Based on the cut-off value, we investigated the association of CAR with long-term all-cause mortality. RESULTS 32 (25.1%) of the patients experienced all-cause mortality during a mean 32.7 ± 21.7 months' follow-up. In the group with mortality, CAR was significantly higher than in the survivor group (4.63 (2.60-11.88) versus 1.63 (0.72-3.24), p < 0.001). Kaplan-Meier curves showed a higher incidence of all-cause mortality in patients with high CAR compared to patients with low CAR (log-rank test, p < 0.001). Multivariable Cox regression analysis revealed that glucose ≥ 110 mg/dL (HR: 2.740; 95% CI: 1.354-5.542; p = 0.005), creatinine ≥ 0.99 mg/dL (HR: 2.957, 95% CI: 1.282-6.819, p = 0.011) and CAR > 2.05 (HR: 8.190, 95% CI: 1.899-35.320, p = 0.005) were the independent predictors of mortality. CONCLUSION CAR was associated with a significant increase in postoperative long-term mortality in patients who underwent EVAR. Preoperatively calculated CAR can be used as an important prognostic factor.

Abstract
Background Sodium-23 magnetic resonance imaging (23Na MRI) allows the measurement of skin sodium concentration ([Na+]). In patients requiring dialysis, no data are available relating to the clinical outcomes associated with skin sodium accumulation or the determinants of increasing deposition. Methods This was an exploratory, observational study of adult hemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. Participants underwent skin [Na+] quantification with leg 23Na MRI at the study's beginning. Outcomes of interest were all-cause mortality and composite all-cause mortality plus major adverse cardiovascular events. Cumulative total and event-free survival were assessed using the Kaplan-Meier survival function after stratification into skin [Na+] quartiles. Cox proportional hazards regression was used to model the association between skin [Na+] and outcomes of interest. Multiple linear regression was used to model the predictors of skin [Na+]. Results A total of 52 participants (42 HD and 10 PD) underwent the study procedures. The median follow-up was 529 days (interquartile range: 353-602). Increasing skin [Na+] quartiles were associated with significantly shorter overall and event-free survival (log-rank χ2(1) = 3.926, log-rank χ2(1) = 5.685; P for trend <0.05 in both instances). Skin [Na+] was associated with all-cause mortality {hazard ratio (HR) 4.013, [95% confidence interval (95% CI) 1.988-8.101]; P < 0.001} and composite events [HR 2.332 (95% CI 1.378-3.945); P < 0.01], independently of age, sex, serum [Na+] and albumin. In multiple regression models, dialysate [Na+], serum albumin and congestive heart failure were significantly associated with skin [Na+] in HD patients (R2 adj = 0.62). Conclusions Higher skin [Na+] was associated with worse clinical outcomes in dialysis patients and may represent a direct therapeutic target.

A Network Pharmacology Study to Explore the Underlying Mechanism of Safflower ( Carthamus tinctorius L.) in the Treatment of Coronary Heart Disease. EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2022; 2022:3242015. [PMID: 35607519 PMCID: PMC9124127 DOI: 10.1155/2022/3242015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/30/2022] [Revised: 04/10/2022] [Accepted: 04/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
Safflower has long been used to treat coronary heart disease (CHD). However, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. The goal of this study was to predict the therapeutic effect of safflower against CHD using a network pharmacology and to explore the underlying pharmacological mechanisms. Firstly, we obtained relative compounds of safflower based on the TCMSP database. The TCMSP and PubChem databases were used to predict targets of these active compounds. Then, we built CHD-related targets by the DisGeNET database. The protein-protein interaction (PPI) network graph of overlapping genes was obtained after supplying the common targets of safflower and CHD into the STRING database. The PPI network was then used to determine the top ten most significant hub genes. Furthermore, the DAVID database was utilized for the enrichment analysis on Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG). To validate these results, a cell model of CHD was established in EAhy926 cells using oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL). Safflower was determined to have 189 active compounds. The TCMSP and PubChem databases were used to predict 573 targets of these active compounds. The DisGeNET database was used to identify 1576 genes involved in the progression of CHD. The top ten hub genes were ALB, IL6, IL1B, VEGFA, STAT3, MMP9, TLR4, CCL2, CXCL8, and IL10. GO functional enrichment analysis yielded 92 entries for biological process (BP), 47 entries for cellular component (CC), 31 entries for molecular function (MF), and 20 signaling pathways, which were obtained from KEGG pathway enrichment screening. Based on these findings, the FoxO signaling pathway is critical in the treatment of CHD by safflower. The in vitro results showed that safflower had an ameliorating effect on ox-LDL-induced apoptosis and mitochondrial membrane potential. The western blot results showed that safflower decreased Bax expression and acetylation of FoxO1 proteins while increasing the expression of Bcl-2 and SIRT1 proteins. Safflower can be used in multiple pathways during CHD treatment and can exert anti-apoptotic effects by regulating the expression of Bax, Bcl-2, and SIRT1/FoxO1 signaling pathway-related proteins.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To develop and validate a risk prediction model of treatment failure in patients with peritoneal dialysis-associated peritonitis (PDAP). METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the data of patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD) in 3 dialysis centers in Jilin Province who developed PDAP between January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2019. The data collected from the Second Hospital of Jilin University and Second Division of First Hospital of Jilin University) were used as the training dataset and those from Jilin Central Hospital as the validation dataset. We developed a nomogram for predicting treatment failure using a logistic regression model with backward elimination. The performance of the nomogram was assessed by analyzing the C-statistic and the calibration plots. We also plotted decision curves to evaluate the clinical efficacy of the nomogram. RESULTS A total of 977 episodes of PDAP were included in the analysis (625 episodes in the training dataset and 352 episodes in the validation dataset). During follow-up, 78 treatment failures occurred in the training dataset and 35 in the validation dataset. A multivariable logistic regression prediction model was established, and the predictors in the final nomogram model included serum albumin, peritoneal dialysate white cell count on day 5, PD duration, and type of causative organisms. The nomogram showed a good performance in predicting treatment failure, with a C-statistic of 0.827 (95% CI: 0.784-0.871) in the training dataset and of 0.825 (95% CI: 0.743-0.908) in the validation dataset. The nomogram also performed well in calibration in both the training and validation datasets. CONCLUSION The established nomogram has a good accuracy in estimating the risk of treatment failure in PDAP patients.

Abstract
Background The transcapillary leakage of albumin is increased by inflammation and major surgery, but whether exogenous albumin also disappears faster is unclear. Methods An intravenous infusion of 3 mL/kg of 20% albumin was given over 30 min to 70 subjects consisting of 15 healthy volunteers, 15 post-burn patients, 15 patients who underwent surgery with minor bleeding, 10 who underwent surgery with major bleeding (mean, 1.1 L) and 15 postoperative patients. Blood Hb and plasma albumin were measured on 15 occasions over 5 h. The rate of albumin disappearance from the plasma was quantitated with population kinetic methodology and reported as the half-life (T1/2). Results No differences were observed for T1/2 between volunteers, post-burn patients, patients who underwent surgery with minor bleeding and postoperative patients. The T1/2 averaged 16.2 h, which corresponds to 3.8% of the amount infused per h. Two groups showed plasma concentrations of C-reactive protein of approximately 60 mg/L and still had a similarly long T1/2 for albumin. By contrast, patients undergoing surgery associated with major hemorrhage had a shorter T1/2, corresponding to 15% of the infused albumin per h. In addition, our analyses show that the T1/2 differ greatly depending on whether the calculations consider plasma volume changes and blood losses. Conclusion The disappearance rate of the albumin in 20% preparations was low in volunteers, in patients with moderately severe inflammation, and in postoperative patients.

Abstract
Background Hypoalbuminemia at baseline is a powerful predictor of long-term outcomes in peritoneal dialysis patients. However, the levels of serum albumin are dynamically changed during PD. The present study investigated whether the improvement of hypoalbuminemia during PD can affect the patients’ outcomes. Methods 436 consecutive incidents continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis patients were involved in this study. Demographic, hematologic, biochemical, and dialysis-related data at baseline as well as 1 year after PD were collected. All patients were followed for at least 1 year for mortality. Results Among the 436 patients, the mean age was 48.44 ± 14.98 years, with 58.26% males and 18.12% prevalence of diabetes. The mean follow-up time was 48.25 ± 24.05 months. During the follow-up period, a total of 68 patients died. Serum albumin was 34.35 ± 5.65 g/L at baseline, which increased to 37.39 ± 5.05 g/L at 1 year after PD. Multivariate linear regression analysis showed that sex, age, BMI, diabetic nephropathy, as well as albumin at baseline were independently associated with albumin at 1 year. Every 1 year of age rise would result in a 3.9% increase in the risk of mortality (HR = 1.039, 95%CI 1.016–1.061, p = 0.001). Every 1 g/L increase in albumin at 1 year after PD confers an 8.7% decrease in the risk of mortality (HR = 0.913, 95%CI 0.856–0.973, p = 0.005). Conclusion The level of serum albumin was increased in the first year of PD. Serum albumin after 1 year of PD predicted mortality in peritoneal dialysis.

Abstract
Background In the first year of dialysis, patients are vulnerable to cardiovascular disease (CVD) hospitalization, but knowledge regarding the risk factors and long-term outcomes of cardiovascular readmission within the first year after dialysis in incident continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients is limited. Methods This retrospective cohort study was conducted in incident CAPD patients. The demographic characteristics, laboratory parameters, and CVD readmission were collected and analyzed. The primary outcome was all-cause mortality, and the secondary outcomes included CVD mortality, infection-related mortality and technique failure. A logistic regression was used to identify the risk factors associated with CVD readmission within the first year after dialysis. Cox proportional hazards models were used to evaluate the association between CVD readmission and the outcomes. Results In total, 1589 peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients were included in this study, of whom 120 (7.6%) patients had at least one episode of CVD readmission within the first year after dialysis initiation. Advanced age, CVD history, and a lower level of serum albumin were independently associated with CVD readmission. CVD readmission within the first year after dialysis was significantly associated with all-cause (HR 2.66, 95%CI 1.91–3.70, p < 0.001) and CVD (HR 3.42, 95%CI 2.20–5.31, p < 0.001) mortality, but not infection-related mortality or technique failure, after adjusting for confounders. Conclusions Our findings suggest that an advanced age, a history of CVD, and a lower level of serum albumin were independently associated with CVD readmission. Moreover, CVD readmission was associated with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in incident CAPD patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although cerebral regional oxygen saturation (rSO2) is significantly lower in hemodialysis (HD) patients than that in healthy controls, investigations on cerebral oxygenation in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients are limited. We aimed to confirm the cerebral oxygenation status and identify the factors affecting cerebral rSO2 in PD patients. METHODS Thirty-six PD patients (21 men and 15 women; mean age, 62.8 ± 12.7 years) were recruited. In addition, 27 healthy volunteers (17 men and 10 women; mean age, 43.5 ± 18.8 years) were recruited as a control group. Cerebral rSO2 was monitored at the forehead using an INVOS 5100c oxygen saturation monitor. RESULTS Cerebral rSO2 was significantly lower in PD patients than that in healthy controls (57.0 ± 7.3% vs 68.9 ± 8.6%, p < 0.001); moreover, cerebral rSO2 was significantly correlated with natural logarithm (Ln)-PD duration (r = -0.389, p = 0.019) and serum albumin concentration (r = 0.370, p = 0.026) in a simple linear regression analysis. Multivariable linear regression analysis was performed using variables that showed a significant correlation and p < 0.20 (serum creatinine, serum sodium, Ln-C-reactive protein, and dosage of erythropoiesis-stimulating agent) with the cerebral rSO2. Cerebral rSO2 was independently associated with Ln-PD duration (standardized coefficient: -0.339) and serum albumin concentration (standardized coefficient: 0.316). CONCLUSIONS Cerebral rSO2 was significantly affected by the PD duration and serum albumin concentration. Further prospective studies are needed to clarify whether preventing a decrease in serum albumin concentration leads to the maintenance of cerebral oxygenation in patients undergoing PD.

Genetically determined hypoalbuminemia as a risk factor for hypertension: instrumental variable analysis. Sci Rep 2021; 11:11290. [PMID: 34050200 PMCID: PMC8163734 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-89775-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/20/2021] [Accepted: 04/28/2021] [Indexed: 11/28/2022] Open
Abstract
Hypoalbuminemia is associated with vascular endothelial dysfunction and the development of chronic cardiovascular diseases. However, the relationship between serum albumin concentration and blood pressure changes remains controversial. Community-based longitudinal cohort data collected from Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study were used in this study. Hypoalbuminemia was defined as a serum albumin concentration of ≤ 4.0 g/dL. A total of 4325 participants were categorized into control (n = 3157) and hypoalbuminemia (n = 1168) groups. Serum albumin had a non-linear relationship with the risk of hypertension development. A genome-wide association study revealed 71 susceptibility loci associated with hypoalbuminemia. Among susceptibility loci, genetic variations at rs2894536 in LOC107986598 and rs10972486 in ATP8B5P were related to elevated blood pressure. Serum albumin (HR = 0.654, 95% CI 0.521–0.820) and polymorphisms of rs2894536 (HR = 1.176, 95% CI 1.015–1.361) and rs10972486 (HR = 1.152, 95% CI 1.009–1.316) were significant predictors of hypertension development. Increased albumin concentration instrumented by 2 hypoalbuminemia-associated SNPs (rs2894536 and rs10972486) was associated with decreased HRs for hypertension development (HR = 0.762, 95% CI 0.659–0.882 and HR = 0.759, 95% CI 0.656–0.878). Our study demonstrated that genetically determined hypoalbuminemia is a significant predictor of incipient hypertension.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Vascular permeability (VP) is a fundamental aspect of vascular biology. A growing number of studies have revealed that many signalling pathways govern VP in both physiological and pathophysiological conditions. Furthermore, emerging evidence identifies VP alteration as a pivotal pathogenic factor in acute kidney injury, chronic kidney disease, diabetic kidney disease, and other proteinuric diseases. Therefore, perceiving the connections between these pathways and the aetiology of kidney disease is an important task as such knowledge may trigger the development of novel therapeutic or preventive medical approaches. In this regard, the discussion summarizing VP-regulating pathways and associating them with kidney diseases is highly warranted. SUMMARY Major pathways of VP regulation comprise angiogenic factors including vascular endothelial growth factor/VEGFR, angiopoietin/Tie, and class 3 semaphorin/neuropilin and inflammatory factors including histamine, platelet-activating factor, and leukocyte extravasation. These pathways mainly act on vascular endothelial cadherin to modulate adherens junctions of endothelial cells (ECs), thereby augmenting VP via the paracellular pathway. Elevated VP in diverse kidney diseases involves EC apoptosis, imbalanced regulatory factors, and many other pathophysiological events, which in turn exacerbates renal structural and functional disorders. Measures improving VP effectively ameliorate the diseased kidney in terms of tissue injury, endothelial dysfunction, kidney function, and long-term prognosis. Key Messages: (1) Angiogenic factors, inflammatory factors, and adhesion molecules represent major pathways that regulate VP. (2) Vascular hyperpermeability links various pathophysiological processes and plays detrimental roles in multiple kidney diseases.

Abstract
Lay summary Peritoneal dialysis (PD) uses the peritoneal membrane for dialysis. The peritoneal membrane is a thin layer of tissue that lines the abdomen. The lining is used as a filter to help remove extra fluid and poisonous waste from the blood. Everybody is unique. What is normal for one person’s membrane may be very different from another person’s. The kidney care team wants to provide each person with the best dialysis prescription for them and to do this they must evaluate the person’s peritoneal lining. Sometimes dialysis treatment itself can cause the membrane to change after some years. This means more assessments (evaluations) will be needed to determine whether the person’s peritoneal membrane has changed. Changes in the membrane may require changes to the dialysis prescription. This is needed to achieve the best dialysis outcomes. A key tool for these assessments is the peritoneal equilibration test (PET). It is a simple, standardized and reproducible tool. This tool is used to measure the peritoneal function soon after the start of dialysis. The goal is to understand how well the peritoneal membrane works at the start of dialysis. Later on in treatment, the PET helps to monitor changes in peritoneal function. If there are changes between assessments causing problems, the PET data may explain the cause of the dysfunction. This may be used to change the dialysis prescription to achieve the best outcomes. The most common problem with the peritoneal membrane occurs when fluid is not removed as well as it should be. This happens when toxins (poisons) in the blood cross the membrane more quickly than they should. This is referred to as a fast peritoneal solute transfer rate (PSTR). Since more efficient fluid removal is associated with better outcomes, developing a personal PD prescription based on the person’s PSTR is critically important. A less common problem happens when the membrane fails to work properly (also called membrane dysfunction) because the peritoneal membrane is less efficient, either at the start of treatment or developing after some years. If membrane dysfunction gets worse over time, then this is associated with progressive damage, scarring and thickening of the membrane. This problem can be identified through another change of the PET. It is called reduced ‘sodium dip’. Membrane dysfunction of this type is more difficult to treat and has many implications for the individual. If the damage is major, the person may need to stop PD. They would need to begin haemodialysis treatment (also spelled hemodialysis). This is a very important and emotional decision for individuals with kidney failure. Any decision that involves stopping PD therapy or transitioning to haemodialysis therapy should be made jointly between the clinical team, the person on dialysis and a caregiver, if requested. Although evidence is lacking about how often tests should be performed to determine peritoneal function, it seems reasonable to repeat them whenever there is difficulty in removing the amount of fluid necessary for maintaining the health and well-being of the individual. Whether routine evaluation of membrane function is associated with better outcomes has not been studied. Further research is needed to answer this important question as national policies in many parts of the world and the COVID-19 has placed a greater emphasis and new incentives encouraging the greater adoption of home dialysis therapies, especially PD. For Chinese and Spanish Translation of the Lay Summary, see Online Supplement Appendix 1. Key recommendations Guideline 1: A pathophysiological taxonomy: A pathophysiological classification of membrane dysfunction, which provides mechanistic links to functional characteristics, should be used when prescribing individualized dialysis or when planning modality transfer (e.g. to automated peritoneal dialysis (PD) or haemodialysis) in the context of shared and informed decision-making with the person on PD, taking individual circumstances and treatment goals into account. (practice point) Guideline 2a: Identification of fast peritoneal solute transfer rate (PSTR): It is recommended that the PSTR is determined from a 4-h peritoneal equilibration test (PET), using either 2.5%/2.27% or 4.25%/3.86% dextrose/glucose concentration and creatinine as the index solute. (practice point) This should be done early in the course dialysis treatment (between 6 weeks and 12 weeks) (GRADE 1A) and subsequently when clinically indicated. (practice point) Guideline 2b: Clinical implications and mitigation of fast solute transfer: A faster PSTR is associated with lower survival on PD. (GRADE 1A) This risk is in part due to the lower ultrafiltration (UF) and increased net fluid reabsorption that occurs when the PSTR is above the average value. The resulting lower net UF can be avoided by shortening glucose-based exchanges, using a polyglucose solution (icodextrin), and/or prescribing higher glucose concentrations. (GRADE 1A) Compared to glucose, use of icodextrin can translate into improved fluid status and fewer episodes of fluid overload. (GRADE 1A) Use of automated PD and icodextrin may mitigate the mortality risk associated with fast PSTR. (practice point) Guideline 3: Recognizing low UF capacity: This is easy to measure and a valuable screening test. Insufficient UF should be suspected when either (a) the net UF from a 4-h PET is <400 ml (3.86% glucose/4.25% dextrose) or <100 ml (2.27% glucose /2.5% dextrose), (GRADE 1B) and/or (b) the daily UF is insufficient to maintain adequate fluid status. (practice point) Besides membrane dysfunction, low UF capacity can also result from mechanical problems, leaks or increased fluid absorption across the peritoneal membrane not explained by fast PSTR. Guideline 4a: Diagnosing intrinsic membrane dysfunction (manifesting as low osmotic conductance to glucose) as a cause of UF insufficiency: When insufficient UF is suspected, the 4-h PET should be supplemented by measurement of the sodium dip at 1 h using a 3.86% glucose/4.25% dextrose exchange for diagnostic purposes. A sodium dip ≤5 mmol/L and/or a sodium sieving ratio ≤0.03 at 1 h indicates UF insufficiency. (GRADE 2B) Guideline 4b: Clinical implications of intrinsic membrane dysfunction (de novo or acquired): in the absence of residual kidney function, this is likely to necessitate the use of hypertonic glucose exchanges and possible transfer to haemodialysis. Acquired membrane injury, especially in the context of prolonged time on treatment, should prompt discussions about the risk of encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis. (practice point) Guideline 5: Additional membrane function tests: measures of peritoneal protein loss, intraperitoneal pressure and more complex tests that estimate osmotic conductance and ‘lymphatic’ reabsorption are not recommended for routine clinical practice but remain valuable research methods. (practice point) Guideline 6: Socioeconomic considerations: When resource constraints prevent the use of routine tests, consideration of membrane function should still be part of the clinical management and may be inferred from the daily UF in response to the prescription.

Abstract
Objective To evaluate the prognostic value of C-reactive protein to albumin ratio (CAR) in patients with severe aortic valve stenosis undergoing surgical aortic valve replacement (AVR). Methods Four hundred seventy-six patients with severe degenerative aortic stenosis who underwent successful isolated surgical AVR were enrolled. Hospitalization due to heart failure, surgical aortic reoperation, paravalvular leakage rates, and long-term mortality were evaluated in the whole study group. The participants were divided into two groups, as 443 patients without mortality (group 1) and 33 patients with mortality (group 2) during the follow-up time. Results CAR was lower in patients without mortality than in those with mortality during the follow-up time (0.84 [0.03-23.43] vs. 2.50 [0.22-26.55], respectively, P<0.001). Age (odds ratio [OR]: 1.062, confidence interval [CI]: 1.012-1.114, P=0.014), CAR (OR: 1.221, CI: 1.125-1.325, P<0.001), ejection fraction (OR: 0.956, CI: 0.916-0.998, P=0.042), and valve type (OR: 2.634, CI: 1.045-6.638, P=0.040) were also found to be independent predictors of long-term mortality. Additionally, rehospitalization (0.86 [0.03-26.55] vs. 1.6 [0.17-24.05], P=0.006), aortic reoperation (0.87 [0.03-26.55] vs. 1.6 [0.20-23.43], P=0.016), and moderate to severe aortic paravalvular leakage (0.86 [0.03-26.55] vs. 1.86 [0.21-19.50], P=0.023) ratios were associated with higher CAR. Conclusion It was firstly described that CAR was strongly related with increased mortality rates in patients with isolated severe aortic stenosis after surgical AVR. Additionally, rehospitalization, risk of paravalvular leakage, and aortic reoperation rates were higher in patients with increased CAR than in those without it.

Abstract
Hemodiafiltration (HDF) increases the removal of middle-molecular-weight uremic toxins and may improve outcomes in patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), but it requires complex equipment and comes with risks associated with infusion of large volumes of substitution solution. New high-flux hemodialysis membranes with improved diffusive permeability profiles do not have these limitations and offer an attractive alternative to HDF. However, both strategies are associated with increased albumin loss into the dialysate, raising concerns about the potential for decreased serum albumin concentrations that have been associated with poor outcomes in ESKD. Many factors can contribute to hypoalbuminemia in ESKD, including protein energy wasting, inflammation, volume expansion, renal loss and loss into the dialysate; of these factors, loss into the dialysate is not necessarily the most important. Furthermore, recent studies suggest that mild hypoalbuminemia per se is not an independent predictor of increased mortality in dialysis patients, but in combination with inflammation it is a poor prognostic sign. Thus, whether hypoalbuminemia predisposes to increased morbidity and mortality may depend on the presence or absence of inflammation. In this review we summarize recent findings on the role of dialysate losses in hypoalbuminemia and the importance of concomitant inflammation on outcomes in patients with ESKD. Based on these findings, we discuss whether hypoalbuminemia may be a price worth paying for increased dialytic removal of middle-molecular-weight uremic toxins.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the risk factors associated with early-onset peritonitis (EOP) and their influence on patients' technique survival and mortality. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective, cohort study. SETTING Three peritoneal dialysis (PD) units in Shanghai. PARTICIPANTS PD patients from 1 June 2006 to 1 May 2018 were recruited and followed up until 31 December 2018. According to time-to-first episode of peritonitis, patients were divided into non-peritonitis (n=144), EOP (≤6 months, n=74) and late-onset peritonitis (LOP) (>6 months, n=139). PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES EOP was defined as the first episode of peritonitis occurring within 6 months after the initiation of PD. The outcomes were all-cause mortality and technique failure. RESULTS Of the 357 patients, 74 (20.7%) patients developed their first episode of peritonitis within the first 6 months. Compared with the LOP group, the EOP group had older ages, more female patients, higher Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) score, lower serum albumin levels and renal function at the time of initiation of PD, and higher diabetes mellitus and peritonitis rates (p<0.05). Staphylococcus was the most common Gram-positive organism in both EOP and LOP groups. The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that factors associated with EOP included a higher CCI score (OR 1.285, p=0.011), lower serum albumin level (OR 0.924, p=0.016) and lower Kt/V (OR 0.600, p=0.018) at start of PD. In the Cox proportional-hazards model, EOP was more likely a predictor of technique failure (HR 1.801, p=0.051). There was no difference between EOP and LOP for all-cause mortality. CONCLUSION A higher CCI score and lower serum albumin level and Kt/V at PD initiation were significantly associated with EOP. EOP also predicted a high peritonitis rate and poor clinical outcome.

Abstract
Space medicine and new technology such as magnetic resonance imaging of tissue sodium stores (23NaMRI) have changed our understanding of human sodium homeostasis and pathophysiology. It has become evident that body sodium comprises 3 main components. Two compartments have been traditionally recognized, namely one that is circulating and systemically active via its osmotic action, and one slowly exchangeable pool located in the bones. The third, recently described pool represents sodium stored in skin and muscle interstitium, and it is implicated in cell and biologic activities via local hypertonicity and sodium clearance mechanisms. This in-depth review provides a comprehensive view on the pathophysiology and existing knowledge gaps of systemic hemodynamic and tissue sodium accumulation in dialysis patients. Furthermore, we discuss how the combination of novel technologies to quantitate tissue salt accumulation (e.g., 23NaMRI) with devices to facilitate the precise attainment of a prescribed hemodialytic sodium mass balance (e.g., sodium and water balancing modules) will improve our therapeutic approach to sodium management in dialysis patients. While prospective studies are required, we think that these new diagnostic and sodium balancing tools will enhance our ability to pursue more personalized therapeutic interventions on sodium and water management, with the eventual goal of improving dialysis patient outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiovascular complications are the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in patients with end-stage renal disease. The risk profile very often contributes to their death while on the waiting list. Most studies have been carried out in older patients with end-stage renal disease, reflecting the general dialysis population. The aim of this study was to analyze the risk profile in young patients with advanced chronic kidney disease on the kidney transplant waiting list. METHODS This was a retrospective, single-center study of 748 patients on the kidney transplant waiting list at the University Hospital Essen, Germany. Clinical and laboratory parameters were collected between 2015 and 2016. RESULTS Of 748 patients (62% male), the median age was 48 years. Hypertension, coronary heart disease, and diabetes mellitus were the leading comorbidities, and their frequency rose significantly with age. Their median laboratory values did not differ significantly depending on age except for albumin. Hyperuricemia was quite common in our population with a prevalence of about 75% in women and 50% in men throughout all age groups. A total of 26.6% of the patients between 18 and 35 years of age had advanced anemia (hemoglobin < 10 g/dL), and thus they were affected most frequently. Elevated C-reactive protein serum levels were observed in 37.2% of the patients. Regarding the lipid profile, we observed that HDL cholesterol was within the normal range in only among 51.9% of men and 44.3% of women. CONCLUSIONS Cardiovascular risk factors are quite common in our cohort and affect young patients similarly.

Abstract
Background Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is an easily implementable dialysis modality in end-stage renal disease (ESRD). PD may improve access to renal replacement therapy in low- and middle-income countries; however, these countries have a higher prevalence of protein-energy wasting in patients and poorer socioeconomic conditions. We evaluated the effects of HIV infection on serum albumin levels in ESRD patients starting continuous ambulatory PD (CAPD) and mortality outcomes. Methods We conducted a single-center prospective cohort study of consecutive incident CAPD patients recruited from two hospitals in Durban, South Africa, from September 2012 to February 2015. Seventy HIV-negative and 70 HIV-positive ESRD patients were followed monthly for serum albumin levels and mortality events during the first 18 months of CAPD therapy. Results The HIV-positive cohort recorded 28 deaths (40%) among patients with a functional CAPD catheter at 18 months and 13 deaths (18.6%) in the HIV-negative cohort (p = 0.005). The mean serum albumin levels were lower in the HIV-positive cohort than in the HIV-negative cohort during the 18-month follow-up. The mean difference in serum albumin levels between the two cohorts was 4.24 g/L (95% confidence interval [CI] 2.02–6.46, p<0.001) at baseline and 3.99 g/L (95% CI 1.19–6.79, p = 0.006) at 18 months. HIV-positive status (adjusted regression coefficient -2.84, CI -5.00–-0.67, p = 0.011), diabetes (adjusted coefficient -2.85; CI, -5.58–-0.12; p = 0.041), and serum C-reactive protein and blood hemoglobin levels were independent predictors of serum albumin levels on multivariable linear regression. Baseline serum albumin <25 g/L (subdistribution-hazard ratio [SHR] 13.06, 95% CI 3.09–55.14, p<0.001) and CD4+ cell count <200 cells/μL (SHR 3.2, CI 1.38–7.45, p = 0.007) were independent predictors of mortality in our competing risk model. Conclusions HIV infection can adversely affect serum albumin levels in ESRD patients managed with CAPD, while low baseline serum albumin levels and impaired immunity reliably predict mortality.

Peritoneal Protein Clearance Is a Function of Local Inflammation and Membrane Area Whereas Systemic Inflammation and Comorbidity Predict Survival of Incident Peritoneal Dialysis Patients. Front Physiol 2019; 10:105.

Abstract
It is not clear whether the association of increased peritoneal protein clearance (PPCl) with worse survival on peritoneal dialysis (PD) is a consequence of either local or systemic inflammation or indicative of generalized endothelial dysfunction associated with comorbidity. To investigate this we determined the relationship of PPCl to comorbidity, membrane area (equivalent to low molecular weight peritoneal solute transport rate), local and systemic inflammation and hypoalbuminaemia, and for each of these with patient survival. 257 incident patients from three GLOBAL Fluid Study centers were included in this analysis. Clinical profiles were collected at baseline along with a peritoneal equilibration test, 24-h dialysate protein and paired plasma and dialysate cytokine measurements. Although peritoneal protein clearance was associated with increased age and severe comorbidity on univariate analysis, only dialysate IL-6, peritoneal solute transport rate, plasma albumin and cardiac comorbidities (ischaemic heart disease and left ventricular dysfunction) were independent explanatory variables on multivariate analysis. While peritoneal protein clearance and daily peritoneal protein loss were associated with survival in univariate analysis, on multivariate analysis only plasma IL-6, age, residual kidney function, comorbidity, and plasma albumin were independent predictors. Peritoneal protein clearance is primarily a function of peritoneal membrane area and local membrane inflammation. The association with comorbidity and survival is predominantly explained by its inverse relationship to hypoalbuminaemia, especially in diabetics.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW In this review, we will discuss the most recent literature regarding fluids status assessment in hemodialysis patients, and the associations with outcome. RECENT FINDINGS Research toward technique-assisted assessment of fluid status in hemodialysis patients has been going on for many years. However, there is no absolute agreement between techniques, such as bioimpedance, lung ultrasound, biochemical markers or vena caval diameter, likely because they reflect different fluid compartments with potentially altered distribution in hemodialysis patients. Recent studies, mostly based on bioimpedance, have shown not only an association of severe, but also of moderate predialysis fluid overload with overall survival. Also predialysis fluid depletion has been found to associate with and increased mortality risk. Interventional studies with fluid-guided management are scarce and outline the difficulties of achieving dry weight is the dialysis population. SUMMARY Optimal estimation of predialysis fluid status remains challenging and may require a combination of clinical and technical derived parameters. There appears to be a narrow window of optimal predialysis fluid status. Further clinical studies are necessary to identify strategies to improve survival in hemodialysis patients with abnormalities in fluid status.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Abnormalities in fluid status in hemodialysis (HD) patients are highly prevalent and are related to adverse outcomes. SUMMARY The inherent discontinuity of the HD procedure in combination with an often compromised cardiovascular response is a major contributor to this phenomenon. In addition, systemic inflammation and endothelial dysfunction are related to extracellular fluid overload (FO). Underlying this relation may be factors such as hypoalbuminemia and an increased capillary permeability, leading to an altered fluid distribution between the blood volume (BV) and the interstitial fluid compartments, compromising fluid removal during dialysis. Indeed, whereas estimates of extracellular volume by bioimpedance spectroscopy are highly predictive of mortality, absolute BV assessed by the saline dilution technique was predictive of intra-dialytic morbidity. Changes in relative BV during HD are positively related to ultrafiltration rate (UFR) and, at least in some studies, negatively to FO. High UFR is also related to changes in central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2), a marker for tissue perfusion. On the one hand, high UFR and more pronounced declines in ScvO2, but on the other hand, flat relative BV curves are also predictive of mortality; the relation between outcome which statics and dynamics of fluid status appears to be complex. Key Message: While technological developments enable the clinician to monitor statics and dynamics of fluid status and hemodynamics during HD in an accessible way, the role of technology-based interventions needs further study.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Maintaining euvolaemia is an essential yet challenging objective in management of patients on peritoneal dialysis. Optimal method to assess volume status remains to be determined. In this review, we will discuss the risk factors and clinical outcomes of fluid overload in PD patients, and examine the role of bioimpedance study in fluid management. RECENT FINDINGS Applying bioimpedance study to measure body composition has attracted increasing attention because it is noninvasive and provides point-of-care assessment of fluid status. Observational studies suggested that presence of residual renal function did not necessarily protect peritoneal dialysis patients from developing fluid overload. This reinforces the importance of fluid restriction in peritoneal dialysis patients, in whom the thirst sensation could be exacerbated by hyperglycaemia. Notably, fluid overload is present in significant portion of asymptomatic patients. Moreover, bioimpedance-defined fluid overload is associated with increase in all-cause mortality, technique failure and possibly excess peritonitis rate. SUMMARY Although future studies should investigate the clinical benefit of bioimpedance-guided fluid management in high-risk subgroup, raising awareness among clinicians, together with structured clinical assessment and dietary counselling are the cornerstone to maintain stable fluid status.

Abstract
Peritoneal dialysis (PD) was introduced in China later than in most Western countries, and PD research activity was quite limited until the 1990s. However, in the 2000s, and even more so during the last decade, there has been an unsurpassed increase in the number of PD patients, paralleled by a substantial increase in PD research activity reflected by an increasing number of PD papers from China. In this brief review, we describe some of the factors that may explain the dramatic developments in PD research in mainland China, such as the focus on basic research using scientific approaches that subsequently could be applied also in clinical studies. Another important factor was the growing interactions with international PD research centers in Hong Kong and in Western countries. Thanks to strong support from Chinese national and regional funding sources, a growing number of young Chinese researchers went to key international PD centers to learn about novel advanced research techniques. This paved the way for long-lasting, productive collaborations with benefits also for the foreign host institutions. Finally, we present some current research projects, including basic research that may contribute to the understanding of mechanisms behind complications such as peritonitis, and clinical projects aiming at improving PD management guidelines and better understanding of the potential of PD in China. Because of the size of the PD population, now the largest in the world, and the increasing number, and quality, of researchers in the PD field, PD research in China is destined to be a major contributor to advancements in PD in the near future.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Predialysis fluid overload (FO) in hemodialysis (HD) patients is associated with an increased risk of death, further increased by the presence of inflammation. Malnutrition is also associated with outcome. Study objectives were, firstly, to investigate if the presence of FO is associated with malnutrition and whether this association is influenced by the presence of inflammation. Second, we assessed the associations of FO, malnutrition, and inflammation with outcome individually and in combination. DESIGN International cohort study. SETTING European patients of the Monitoring Dialysis Outcome Initiative cohort where bioimpedance and C-reactive protein measurements are performed as standard of care. SUBJECTS 8883 prevalent HD patients. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE Body composition, nutritional and inflammation status were assessed during a 3-month baseline period, and all-cause mortality was noted during 1 year follow-up. Malnutrition was defined as a lean tissue index <10th percentile (of age and gender matched healthy controls), FO as a predialysis overhydration >+1.1 L and inflammation as a C-reactive protein > 6.0 mg/L. We used Cox models to investigate the association with outcome. RESULTS The presence of malnutrition was associated with higher levels of FO, this amount further increased when inflammation was present. Only 11.6% of the patients did not have any of the 3 risk factors and only 6.5% of the patients were only malnourished, which was not associated with an increased risk of death (Hazard Ratio [HR] 1.22 [95% Confidence Interval [CI]: 0.75-1.97]), whereas the combination of severe malnutrition, FO, and inflammation comprised the highest risk of death (HR 5.89 [95% CI: 2.28-8.01]). CONCLUSION In HD patients, predialysis FO associates with both malnutrition and the presence of inflammation, with the highest levels of FO observed when both are present. Malnutrition as singular risk factor was not associated with increased mortality risk. The highest mortality risk was observed in patients where all 3 risk factors were present.

Abstract
Extracellular fluid overload (FO), which is assessed using bioimpedance technologies, is an important predictor of outcome in dialysis patients and in patients with early stages of chronic kidney disease. While traditional cardiovascular abnormalities are assumed to mediate this risk, recently also, the importance of noncardiovascular factors, such as systemic inflammation and malnutrition has been shown. While both FO and inflammation are independent risk factors for mortality, recent studies have shown that their combined presence can lead to a cumulative risk profile. From a pathophysiologic viewpoint, FO and inflammation can also be mutually reinforcing. Inflammation could contribute to FO by hypoalbuminemia, capillary leakage, and a (unnoticed) decline in lean and/or fat tissue mass resulting in incorrect estimation of dry weight. Reciprocally, FO could lead to inflammation by the translocation of endotoxins through a congested bowel wall or by a proinflammatory effect of tissue sodium. The relative importance of these putative factors is, however, not clear yet and epidemiological studies have shown no clear temporal direction regarding the relationship between FO and inflammation. FO and inflammation appear to be part of (dynamic) clusters of risk factors, including malnutrition and hyponatremia. Technology-guided fluid management of the often vulnerable dialysis patient with FO and inflammation cannot yet be based on evidence from randomized controlled trials, in which these specific patients were in general not included. In the absence of those trials, treatment should be based on identifying actionable causes of inflammation and on the judicious removal of excess volume based on frequent clinical reassessment.

Abstract
Cardiovascular complications are the main cause of morbidity and mortality in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is a major predictor of the development of cardiovascular events. This study aimed to identify risk factors that contribute to the development of LVH and to determine their cutoffs in patients on maintenance peritoneal dialysis.In this cross sectional study we evaluated the association of 23 variables including age, PD vintage, ultrafiltration, urine volume, residual renal function, mean daily SBP, mean daily DBP, fasting glucose, HbA1c, peritoneal glucose load index (PGLI), fluid overload (FO), plasma brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), plasma hsCRP and IL-6, serum albumin, white blood cell (WBC) count, hemoglobin, hematocrit, triglycerides, LDL-C (low density lipoprotein cholesterol), HDL-C (high density lipoprotein cholesterol), and PTH with LVH in 38 stable patients on maintenance PD ≥ 24 months.LVH was detected in 57.9% of patients. Logistic regression and receiver operating characteristics (ROC) analysis revealed that HbA1c, PGLI, FO, plasma BNP, hsCRP and IL-6 seem to be possible predictors of LVH. The cutoffs associated with the presence of LVH were: 7.5%, 3.2 g/kg/day, 1.7 L, 330 pg/mL, 7.5 mg/dL and 3.3 pg/mL for HbA1c, PGLI, FO, plasma BNP, hsCRP and IL-6, respectively (sensitivity 72.8 to 81.8% and specificity 75.0 to 93.8%).The results suggest that efforts should be made to reduce the peritoneal glucose load (PGL), to improve the hydration status, and to attenuate the inflammatory process in order to reduce the risk of the development of LVH among PD patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Peritoneal protein clearance (Pcl) is determined by both effective (small pores) membrane area and relative capillary leakiness (large pores). It is not known how these two components change with duration of peritoneal dialysis (PD) in the context of progressive membrane injury and differential attrition of patients with higher Pcl, which has been associated with increased mortality risk in several studies. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS Patients treated continuously from 2000 to 2011 for a minimum of 4 years were selected from the longitudinal prospective Stoke PD Study. Pcl, membrane area (peritoneal solute transport rate [PSTR]), dialysis prescription, and residual renal function were measured every 6 months, along with comorbidity and peritonitis events. Multilevel multivariate analysis was used to determine associations with Pcl over time, taking into account within-subject correlations. RESULTS From 280 incident patients, 335 datasets were analyzed from 49 patients receiving treatment for 4 years. Pcl correlated with PSTR at baseline (R=0.61; P<0.01), but over time there was progressive uncoupling of this relationship (year 4, R=0.28; P=0.05) with increasing PSTR (0.66-0.74; P<0.01) and stable Pcl (78.4-81.9 ml/d; P=0.7). Multivariate analysis found that age, PSTR, daily ultrafiltration, and sodium removal were significant predictors of Pcl when adjusted for sex, comorbidity, glucose exposure, and residual renal function. Peritonitis was associated with increased PSTR but a similar pattern of uncoupling. CONCLUSION There is a progressive dissociation of the small- and large-pore pathways with time on PD, which would be in keeping with a switch from local inflammation early on to progressive fibrosis, combined with increased vascular surface area. Measuring longitudinal changes in Pcl may complement membrane function tests used to monitor progressive injury.

Abstract
Systemic inflammation, as evidenced by elevated inflammatory cytokines, is a feature of advanced renal failure and predicts worse survival. Dialysate IL-6 concentrations associate with variability in peritoneal small solute transport rate (PSTR), which has also been linked to patient survival. Here, we determined the link between systemic and intraperitoneal inflammation with regards to peritoneal membrane function and patient survival as part of the Global Fluid Study, a multinational, multicenter, prospective, combined incident and prevalent cohort study (n=959 patients) with up to 8 years of follow-up. Data collected included patient demographic characteristics, comorbidity, modality, dialysis prescription, and peritoneal membrane function. Dialysate and plasma cytokines were measured by electrochemiluminescence. A total of 426 survival endpoints occurred in 559 incident and 358 prevalent patients from 10 centers in Korea, Canada, and the United Kingdom. On patient entry to the study, systemic and intraperitoneal cytokine networks were dissociated, with evidence of local cytokine production within the peritoneum. After adjustment for multiple covariates, systemic inflammation was associated with age and comorbidity and independently predicted patient survival in both incident and prevalent cohorts. In contrast, intraperitoneal inflammation was the most important determinant of PSTR but did not affect survival. In prevalent patients, the relationship between local inflammation and membrane function persisted but did not account for an increased mortality associated with faster PSTR. These data suggest that systemic and local intraperitoneal inflammation reflect distinct processes and consequences in patients treated with peritoneal dialysis, so their prevention may require different therapeutic approaches; the significance of intraperitoneal inflammation requires further elucidation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) are one of the largest sources of new data in biology. In most papers, SNPs between individuals are visualized with Principal Component Analysis (PCA), an older method for this purpose. PRINCIPAL FINDINGS We compare PCA, an aging method for this purpose, with a newer method, t-Distributed Stochastic Neighbor Embedding (t-SNE) for the visualization of large SNP datasets. We also propose a set of key figures for evaluating these visualizations; in all of these t-SNE performs better. SIGNIFICANCE To transform data PCA remains a reasonably good method, but for visualization it should be replaced by a method from the subfield of dimension reduction. To evaluate the performance of visualization, we propose key figures of cross-validation with machine learning methods, as well as indices of cluster validity.
