[PMID: 37675033 PMCID: PMC10479638 DOI: 10.3389/fneph.2022.880097] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2022] [Accepted: 06/02/2022] [Indexed: 09/08/2023]
Abstract
Obesity is a global epidemic that has a complicated pathogenesis as well as impact on the outcome of peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. In this review, the prevalence of obesity in incident PD patients as well as the phenomenon of new-onset glucose intolerance after PD will be reviewed. Published literature on the effect of obesity on the survival and incidence of cardiovascular disease in PD patients will be discussed. Particular emphasis would be put on literature that compared the impact of obesity on the outcome of hemodialysis and PD, and the confounding effect of dialysis adequacy. Next, the complex concept of obesity and its relevance for PD will be explored. The focus would be put on the methods of assessment and clinical relevance of central versus general obesity, as well as visceral versus subcutaneous adipose tissue. The relation between obesity and systemic inflammation, as well as the biological role of several selected adipokines will be reviewed. The confounding effects of metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance will be discussed, followed by the prevalence and prognostic impact of weight gain during the first few years of PD. The differences between weight gain due to fluid overload and accumulation of adipose tissue will be discussed, followed by the current literature on the change in body composition after patients are put on chronic PD. The methods of body composition will be reviewed, and the clinical relevance of individual body component (fluid, fat, muscle, and bone) will be discussed. The review will conclude by highlighting current gaps of knowledge and further research directions in this area.

Clinics (Sao Paulo) 2022; 77:100114. [PMID: 36166992 PMCID: PMC9513216 DOI: 10.1016/j.clinsp.2022.100114] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/15/2022] [Revised: 08/24/2022] [Accepted: 09/06/2022] [Indexed: 11/26/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The negative effects of visceral adiposity accumulation on cardiovascular health have drawn much attention. However, the association between the Visceral Adiposity Index (VAI) and Abdominal Aortic Calcification (AAC) has never been reported before. The authors aimed to investigate the association between the VAI and AAC in US adults. METHODS Cross-sectional data were derived from the 2013 to 2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) of participants with complete data of VAI and AAC scores. Weighted multivariable regression and logistic regression analysis were conducted to explore the independent relationship between VAI and AAC. Subgroup analysis and interaction tests were also performed. RESULTS A total of 2958 participants were enrolled and participants in the higher VAI tertile tended to have a higher mean AAC score and prevalence of severe AAC. In the fully adjusted model, a positive association between VAI and AAC score and severe AAC was observed (β = 0.04, 95% CI 0.01‒0.08; OR = 1.04, 95% CI 1.01‒1.07). Participants in the highest VAI tertile had a 0.41-unit higher AAC score (β = 0.41, 95% CI 0.08‒0.73) and a significantly 68% higher risk of severe AAC than those in the lowest VAI tertile (OR = 1.68, 95% CI 1.04‒2.71). Subgroup analysis and interaction tests indicated that there was no dependence for the association of VAI and AAC. CONCLUSION Visceral adiposity accumulation evaluated by the VAI was associated with a higher AAC score and an increased likelihood of severe AAC.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Central obesity is closely linked to the risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD). This study aimed to evaluate the association between the novel central obesity index- metabolic score for visceral fat (METS-VF) and the risk of CKD in a Chinese population, and to compare its ability to predict CKD with other central obesity indices including waist circumference (WC), waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), lipid accumulation product (LAP), visceral adiposity index (VAI), a body shape index (ABSI), body roundness index (BRI), and cardiometabolic index (CMI). METHODS This cross-sectional study included 8866 individuals from China. Demographic information, lifestyle data, and medical history data were collected, and physical examinations, anthropometric measurements and laboratory tests were performed for each participant. CKD was defined as an estimated GFR< 60 ml/min/1.73m2. Multivariate logistic regression models were used to evaluate the association between the METS-VF and the prevalence of CKD. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analyses were performed to assess and compare the predictive abilities of the central obesity indices and determine the optimal cut-off points. RESULTS A graded increase in the prevalence of CKD was observed with increasing METS-VF tertiles. Moreover, the METS-VF was independently associated with the risk of CKD after adjustment for current smoking, current drinking, physical activity level, diabetes, hypertension, CVD history and BMI. Compared with participants with a METS-VF in the lowest tertile, the multivariate-adjusted ORs and 95% CIs for participants with a METS-VF in the highest tertile were 3.943 (2.435-6.385) in the overall population, 3.585 (1.585-8.109) for men and 4.627 (2.485-8.616) for women. Significant interactions were found between the METS-VF and the risk of CKD by age (P value for interaction = 0.023). In ROC analysis, the METS-VF had a higher AUC value than other indices for predicting CKD in men and had comparable or higher AUC than other indices for women. For predicting CKD, the optimal cut-off value of the METS-VF was 6.891 for men and 6.744 for women. The METS-VF yielded the greatest Youden index among all indices for both sexes. CONCLUSION A higher METS-VF was independently associated with a greater risk of CKD. The METS-VF can be a useful clinical indicator for identifying CKD, as it had superior predictive power for CKD when compared with other central obesity indices.

Late stage 3 chronic kidney disease is an independent risk factor for sarcopenia, but not proteinuria. Sci Rep 2021; 11:18472. [PMID: 34531464 PMCID: PMC8446068 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-97952-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2021] [Accepted: 08/31/2021] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Most epidemiologic studies assessing the relationship between chronic kidney disease (CKD) and sarcopenia have been performed in dialysis patients. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), proteinuria, and sarcopenia in patients with non-dialysis-dependent CKD. A total of 892 outpatients who did not show any rapid changes in renal function were enrolled in this observational cohort study. We measured the muscle mass using bioimpedance analysis and handgrip strength (HGS), and sarcopenia was defined as low HGS and low muscle mass. Sarcopenia was found in 28.1% of the patients and its prevalence decreased as the body mass index (BMI) increased; however, in patients with BMI ≥ 23 kg/m2, the prevalence did not increase with BMI. As eGFR decreased, the lean tissue index and HGS significantly decreased. However, the eGFR did not affect the fat tissue index. The risk of sarcopenia increased approximately 1.6 times in patients with eGFR < 45 mL/min/1.73 m2. However, proteinuria was not associated with sarcopenia. With a decrease in eGFR, the lean muscle mass and muscle strength decreased, and the prevalence of sarcopenia increased. In patients with late stage 3 CKD, further assessment of body composition and screening for sarcopenia may be needed.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors are present early in life in children with chronic kidney disease (CKD), consequently cardiovascular morbidity presents in early adulthood. However, risk factors of CVD have been rarely addressed in children with early stage of CKD. This study included 63 children and adolescents aged 8- to 18 years-old with CKD stage G1–G4. Cardiovascular assessments consisted of 24-h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM), arterial stiffness index, and echocardiography. We also applied dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scanning to analyze percentage body fat (PBF), lean body mass index (LBMI), fat mass index (FMI), and the android to gynoid fat ratio (A/G ratio). Up to 63.5% of CKD children had abnormal changes in BP detected by ABPM. CKD children with abnormal ABPM were older, had higher numbers of CKD stage G2 to G4, hyperuricemia, obesity, and higher FMI z-score and A/G ratio compared to individuals with normal ABPM (all p < 0.05). Among these factors, only FMI z-score showed an independent association with abnormal ABPM using multivariate logistic regression analysis (p = 0.037). Our data highlight that body fat plays a key role for an abnormal ABPM in CKD children. The assessment of FMI may have clinical utility in discriminating CV risk in children and adolescents with early stages of CKD.

Abstract
Incidence of obesity related renal disorders have increased 10-folds in recent years. One of the consequences of obesity is an increased glomerular filtration rate (GFR) that leads to the enlargement of the renal glomerulus, i.e., glomerulomegaly. This heightened hyper-filtration in the setting of type 2 diabetes irreparably damages the kidney and leads to progression of end stage renal disease (ESRD). The patients suffering from type 2 diabetes have progressive proteinuria, and eventually one third of them develop chronic kidney disease (CKD) and ESRD. For ameliorating the progression of CKD, inhibitors of renin angiotensin aldosterone system (RAAS) seemed to be effective, but on a short-term basis only. Long term and stable treatment strategies like weight loss via restricted or hypo-caloric diet or bariatric surgery have yielded better promising results in terms of amelioration of proteinuria and maintenance of normal GFR. Body mass index (BMI) is considered as a traditional marker for the onset of obesity, but apparently, it is not a reliable indicator, and thus there is a need for more precise evaluation of regional fat distribution and amount of muscle mass. With respect to the pathogenesis, recent investigations have suggested perturbation in fatty acid and cholesterol metabolism as the critical mediators in ectopic renal lipid accumulation associated with inflammation, increased generation of ROS, RAAS activation and consequential tubulo-interstitial injury. This review summarizes the renewed approaches for the obesity assessment and evaluation of the pathogenesis of CKD, altered renal hemodynamics and potential therapeutic targets.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Data from the WHO show an increasing rate of overweight and obesity in general population in the last decades. This increase in obesity also affects population with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and kidney transplant (KT) candidates. SUMMARY In this review, we focused on how obesity impacts on KT stages: access to KT and outcomes of KT candidates; how to reduce weight and its consequences; short and long-term outcomes in obese recipients and the impact of weight variations; and the implications of obesity in living donor KT. We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials until November 30, 2020. We selected systematic reviews and meta-analyses and randomized clinical trials. When no such reports were found for a topic, observational studies were included in the assessment. Key Messages: Although obesity is a risk factor to present worst outcomes after KT, several studies have demonstrated a survival benefit compared to patients who continue on dialysis. There is a need for a public health campaign to raise awareness in KT candidates and to highlight the importance of self-care, increasing exercise, healthy diet, and weight loss.

Protein-Energy Wasting and Mortality Risk Prediction Among Peritoneal Dialysis Patients. J Ren Nutr 2021; 31:679-686. [PMID: 33642190 DOI: 10.1053/j.jrn.2020.11.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2020] [Revised: 11/12/2020] [Accepted: 11/22/2020] [Indexed: 12/30/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Protein-energy wasting (PEW) is defined as the loss of body protein and energy reserves associated with kidney disease. However, the extent to which PEW contributes to increased mortality among peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients remains unclear. METHODS This is a retrospective cohort study from 2012 to 2020. The PEW was diagnosed by applying at least 3 of the 4 following criteria: (1) altered serum biochemistry indicated by a serum albumin level of <3.5 g/L; (2) decreased body mass status identified by a body mass index (BMI) of <23 kg/m2 or <10% total body fat; (3) muscle wasting defined by the lean tissue index, calculated as a lean tissue mass normalized to the height-squared in the <10th percentile of the reference population; and (4) low dietary protein intake determined by the normalized protein equivalent of a total nitrogen appearance of <0.8 g/kg/day. The Malnutrition Inflammation Score (MIS) was also examined as an alternative tool for assessment of PEW. RESULTS The average age of the 555 participants was 57.5 ± 12.6 years. The prevalence of PEW was 27.3%, with 196 deaths observed during the mean follow-up of 25.5 months. Patients with PEW who fulfilled at least 3 of the 4 listed criteria had a higher risk of death in the unadjusted model (hazard ratio 1.61, 95% confidence interval 1.19-2.18, P = .002). However, these associations were attenuated after adjusting for potential confounders. Regarding the individual PEW criterion, decreased serum albumin and low muscle mass were significantly associated with mortality in the multivariable models. In contrast, decreased body mass and low protein intake were not associated with a higher risk of death. High MIS (≥5 points) and each one-point increase in the MIS were also significantly associated with higher risk of death in both unadjusted and adjusted models. CONCLUSIONS Among PD patients, the presence of PEW was not a better predictor of all-cause mortality than either the altered serum biochemistry (albumin) or low muscle mass criteria. The MIS performed well as an independent predictor of death and might be an option for assessment of PEW status in the PD population.

Abstract
PURPOSE Body mass index (BMI) might be an inaccurate estimate of detailed body composition because it does not differentiate muscle from fat mass. We sought to understand the effect of kidney function decline on alterations of body composition patterns among pre-dialysis CKD patients. METHODS Body composition was measured by multi-frequency bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). Low muscle mass was defined as appendicular muscle mass (kg) adjusted to the square of height in meters < 7.0 and 5.7 kg/m2 in men and women, respectively. The designation of obesity by percent body fat was ≥ 25% in men and ≥ 30% in women. Alternative definition of obesity by BMI was ≥ 25 kg/m2. Visceral fat area cut point was > 100 cm2 as indication of abdominal obesity. RESULTS Mean age of participants was 61.3 ± 13.8 years (n = 103). The average glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was 34.0 ± 24.2 mL/min/1.73 m2. By BIA, the prevalence of low muscle mass was 16.5% and was comparable between both sexes. Obesity by percent body fat was identified in 71.8% of patients and 38.2% had abdominal obesity. Using BMI criteria, the prevalence of obesity was less common (55.3%) and associated with under-identification of obesity by 27.0%. Low muscle mass and obesity by percent body fat were more prevalent in the more advanced stages of CKD. By multivariable regression analysis, a 10 mL/min/1.73 m2 decline in GFR was associated with a 0.59 kg reduction of total body muscle mass (p = 0.01), but not fat mass or BMI, after adjusting for confounders. CONCLUSION Low muscle mass was prevalent among pre-dialysis CKD patients. BMI commonly classified obese CKD individuals by percent body fat criteria as non-obese. The reduction of muscle mass was associated with GFR decline.

[PMID: 32653293 DOI: 10.1016/j.orcp.2020.06.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/20/2020] [Revised: 06/15/2020] [Accepted: 06/23/2020] [Indexed: 01/19/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUNDS Albuminuria, the earliest clinical manifestation of diabetic kidney disease (DKD), is a major prognostic indicator of renal progression. Obesity itself is associated with the development of DKD and accelerates its progression. Accumulation of peri-renal fat on the kidneys can damage kidney function. Measuring the perirenal fat thickness (PFT) by ultrasound is a non-invasive method to measure ectopic fat deposition on the kidney. In this study, we aim to obtain the association between albuminuria and PFT. METHODS Eighty-nine subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) were enrolled. Albuminuria was defined as a urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) ≧30 mg/g. Measurement of the PFT was performed by B-mode ultrasound (Toshiba SSA-680A) and determined from the surface of the abdominal musculature to the surface of kidney. Pearson correlation coefficients were determined to test the significant independent relationship between the PFT and demographic, anthropometric and laboratory parameters. RESULTS Patients were divided into those with (n = 66) and without (n = 23) albuminuria. PFT (odds ratio [OR], 19.3; 95% CI, 2.25-165.00; p = 0.01) was significantly correlated with albuminuria based on multiple logistic regression analysis. Additionally, linear regression confirmed that degree of albuminuria has a positive association with the PFT (r = 0.233; p = 0.03). CONCLUSIONS Our study showed that an increased PFT is positively associated with the albuminuria among patients with T2DM. Our findings suggest that measurement of the PFT may represent a helpful tool to assess the risk of developing albuminuria in patients with T2DM.

Risk of hospitalization associated with body mass index and weight changes among prevalent haemodialysis patients. Nefrologia 2018; 38:520-527.

Abstract
The impact of body mass index (BMI) and body weight on hospitalization rates in haemodialysis patients is unknown. This study hypothesizes that being either underweight or obese is associated with a higher hospitalization rate. Observational study of 6296 European haemodialysis patients with prospective data collection and follow-up every six months for three years (COSMOS study). The risk of being hospitalized was estimated by a time-dependent Cox regression model and the annual risk (incidence rate ratios, IRR) by Poisson regression. We considered weight loss, weight gain and stable weight. Weight change analyses were also performed after patient stratification according to their baseline BMI. A total of 3096 patients were hospitalized at least once with 9731 hospitalizations in total. The hospitalization incidence (fully adjusted IRR 1.28, 95% CI [1.18-1.39]) was higher among underweight patients (BMI <20kg/m2) than patients of normal weight (BMI 20-25kg/m2), while the incidence of overweight (0.88 [0.83-0.93]) and obese patients (≥30kg/m2, 0.85 [0.79-0.92]) was lower. Weight gain was associated with a reduced risk of hospitalization. Conversely, weight loss was associated with a higher hospitalization rate, particularly in underweight patients (IRR 2.85 [2.33-3.47]). Underweight haemodialysis patients were at increased risk of hospitalization, while overweight and obese patients were less likely to be hospitalized. Short-term weight loss in underweight individuals was associated with a strikingly high hospitalization rate.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Short-term weight gains and losses are associated with a lower and higher mortality risk, respectively, in patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD). However, little is known about their association with the risk of subsequent hospitalization. METHODS In a prospective cohort of 1,804 HD patients aged ≥65 years enrolled in the Japanese Dialysis Outcomes and Practice Patterns Study phases 3 (2005-2008) and 4 (2009-2011), we examined the associations between changes in body mass index (BMI) over a 4-month baseline period (<-3%, -3 to <-1%, -1 to <1% [reference], 1 to <3%, and ≥3%) and subsequent risk of all-cause, cardiovascular, and noncardiovascular hospitalization using Cox models with adjustment for potential confounders. RESULTS During a median follow-up of 1.2 years, we noted 1,028 incident hospitalizations for any cause, including 275 and 753 hospitalizations for cardiovascular and noncardiovascular causes, respectively. An L-shaped association was observed between BMI change and all-cause hospitalization. The multivariable-adjusted hazard ratios (HRs; 95% CI) of all-cause hospitalization associated with BMI changes of <-3%, -3 to <-1%, 1 to <3%, and ≥3% (vs. -1 to <1%) were 1.29 (1.01-1.65), 1.22 (0.98-1.51), 1.04 (0.83-1.29), and 1.10 (0.83-1.45), respectively. Qualitatively similar associations were present for cardiovascular-related hospitalization (corresponding HRs [95% CI]: 1.58 [1.06-2.37], 1.09 [0.75-1.58], 0.99 [0.72-1.36], and 0.91 [0.51-1.64], respectively) but not for noncardiovascular-related hospitalization (corresponding HRs [95% CI]: 1.19 [0.90-1.57], 1.26 [0.99-1.59], 1.06 [0.84-1.35], and 1.18 [0.86-1.63], respectively). CONCLUSIONS Decreases in BMI over a relatively short-term period were independently associated with higher risk of subsequent hospitalization, particularly cardiovascular-related hospitalization, among elderly HD patients.

Abstract
According to World Health Organization (WHO) estimations, one out of five adults worldwide will be obese by 2025. Worldwide obesity has doubled since 1980. In fact, more than 1.9 billion adults (39%) of 18 years and older were overweight and over 600 million (13%) of these were obese in 2014. 42 million children under the age of five were overweight or obese in 2014. Obesity is a top public health problem due to its associated morbidity and mortality. This paper reviews the main techniques to measure the level of obesity and body fat percentage, and explains the complications that can carry to the individual's quality of life, longevity and the significant cost of healthcare systems. Researchers and developers are adapting the existing technology, as intelligent phones or some wearable gadgets to be used for controlling obesity. They include the promoting of healthy eating culture and adopting the physical activity lifestyle. The paper also shows a comprehensive study of the most used mobile applications and Wireless Body Area Networks focused on controlling the obesity and overweight. Finally, this paper proposes an intelligent architecture that takes into account both, physiological and cognitive aspects to reduce the degree of obesity and overweight.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE It is known that total energy intake and its distribution during the day influences human anthropometric characteristics. However, possible association between variability in total energy intake and obesity has thus far remained unexamined. This study was designed to establish the influence of energy intake variability of each daily meal on the anthropometric characteristics of obesity. METHODS A total of 521 individuals of Czech Caucasian origin aged 16–73 years (390 women and 131 men) were included in the study, 7-day food records were completed by all study subjects and selected anthropometric characteristics were measured. The interquartile range (IQR) of energy intake was assessed individually for each meal of the day (as a marker of energy intake variability) and subsequently correlated with body mass index (BMI), body fat percentage (%BF), waist-hip ratio (WHR), and waist circumference (cW). RESULTS Four distinct models were created using multiple logistic regression analysis and backward stepwise logistic regression. The most precise results, based on the area under the curve (AUC), were observed in case of the %BF model (AUC=0.895) and cW model (AUC=0.839). According to the %BF model, age (p<0.001) and IQR-lunch (p<0.05) seem to play an important prediction role for obesity. Likewise, according to the cW model, age (p<0.001), IQR-breakfast (p<0.05) and IQR-dinner (p <0.05) predispose patients to the development of obesity. The results of our study show that higher variability in the energy intake of key daily meals may increase the likelihood of obesity development. CONCLUSIONS Based on the obtained results, it is necessary to emphasize the regularity in meals intake for maintaining proper body composition.

Effect of Vitamin D Receptor Activation on the AGE/RAGE System and Myeloperoxidase in Chronic Kidney Disease Patients. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2017; 2017:2801324.

Abstract
Vitamin D receptor (VDR) activation has been reported to increase circulating levels of the advanced glycation end products (AGE) and their decoy receptor (RAGE). However, until now, the effect of VDR activation on AGE and RAGE has not been tested in the setting of a randomized, double-blind clinical trial. We have therefore analyzed the effect of VDR activation by paricalcitol on pentosidine, S100A12/ENRAGE, and RAGE and on established biomarkers of oxidative stress like myeloperoxidase in CKD patients in the PENNY trial. At baseline, human S100A12/ENRAGE, RAGE, and myeloperoxidase, but not pentosidine, were intercorrelated, and the association between S100A12/ENRAGE and myeloperoxidase (r = 0.71, P < 0.001) was the strongest among these correlations. Paricalcitol failed to modify biomarkers of the AGE/RAGE system and myeloperoxidase in unadjusted and adjusted analyses by the generalized linear model (GLM). No effect modification by other risk factors was registered. Paricalcitol does not modify biomarkers of the AGE/RAGE system and myeloperoxidase in CKD patients. The apparent increase in RAGE levels by VDR activation reported in previous uncontrolled studies is most likely due to confounding factors rather than to VDR activation per se. This trial is registered with NCT01680198.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe the prevalence of obesity as estimated by waist circumference (WC) and body mass index (BMI) and compare associations of WC and BMI with indicators of metabolic, cardiovascular, and renal health in children with chronic kidney disease (CKD). STUDY DESIGN Cross-sectional analysis stratified by CKD etiology (nonglomerular or glomerular) of 737 subjects. The kappa statistic was used to assess agreement between the 2 measures of obesity. Linear regression models were performed using WC and BMI as separate independent variables. Dependent variables included lipid measures, insulin resistance, blood pressure, left ventricular mass index, proteinuria, and estimated glomerular filtration rate. Associations were scaled to SD and interpreted as the change in dependent variable associated with a 1-SD change in WC or BMI. RESULTS There was good agreement (kappa statistic = 0.68) between WC and BMI in identifying obesity. Approximately 10% of subjects had obesity by 1 measure but not the other. BMI was more strongly associated with estimated glomerular filtration rate than WC. BMI was more strongly associated with left ventricular mass index in the nonglomerular CKD group compared with WC, but both had significant associations. The associations between WC and BMI with the remainder of the dependent variables were not significantly different. CONCLUSIONS Measurement of WC added limited information to BMI in this cohort. Further longitudinal study is needed to determine how WC and BMI compare in predicting outcomes, particularly for children with CKD identified as having obesity by 1 measure but not the other.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Understanding the extent to which visceral and subcutaneous body fat are associated with markers of nutrition and inflammation in patients on dialysis therapy could shed light on the obesity paradox and the biology of subcutaneous fat. STUDY DESIGN Cross-sectional. SETTING & PARTICIPANTS 609 adults receiving hemodialysis who participated in the ACTIVE/ADIPOSE Study. PREDICTORS Body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, and bioelectrical impedance spectroscopy-derived estimates of percent body fat. OUTCOMES C-Reactive protein (CRP), interleukin 6 (IL-6), prealbumin, albumin, leptin, and adiponectin concentrations. MEASUREMENTS We performed linear regression analyses to examine the extent to which proxies of visceral and subcutaneous fat were associated with inflammation, nutrition, and adiposity-related hormones. RESULTS BMI was directly associated with markers of inflammation (standardized estimate for ln[CRP in mg/L]: 0.30 [95% CI, 0.22-0.38] per 10kg/m2; for ln[IL-6 in pg/mL]: 0.10 [95% CI, 0.02-0.18] per 10kg/m2), but was not associated with markers of nutrition. BMI was also inversely associated with adiponectin and directly associated with leptin. With waist circumference and percent body fat (as a proxy of visceral and subcutaneous fat, respectively) modeled together, waist circumference was associated with markers of inflammation (standardized estimate for ln[CRP in mg/L]: 0.21 [95% CI, 0.09-0.34] per 10cm; for ln[IL-6 in pg/mL]: 0.18 [95% CI, 0.07-0.29] per 10cm), whereas percent body fat was not associated with CRP (standardized estimate for ln[CRP in mg/L]: 0.03 [95% CI, -0.10 to 0.15] per 1%) and was inversely associated with IL-6 (standardized estimate for ln[IL-6 in pg/mL]: -0.15 [95% CI, -0.27 to -0.02] per 1%). In addition, waist circumference was inversely associated with prealbumin and albumin (standardized estimates of -0.12 [95% CI, -0.23 to -0.02] mg/dL per 10cm and -0.17 [95% CI, -0.28 to -0.06] g/dL per 10cm, respectively), and percent body fat was directly associated with prealbumin and albumin (0.20 [95% CI, 0.07-0.32] mg/dL and 0.15 [95% CI, 0.02-0.28] g/dL per 1%, respectively). Higher waist circumference was associated indirectly with adiponectin and directly with leptin concentrations. LIMITATIONS Although the observed associations implicate visceral fat as the cause of inflammation, it cannot be determined in this cross-sectional study. CONCLUSIONS Proxies of visceral and subcutaneous fat appear to have opposing associations with biomarkers of inflammation and nutrition. Subcutaneous fat may be an indicator of nutritional status, and visceral fat, an indicator of inflammation.

Abstract
Background Irisin is a recently discovered myokine thought to be involved in multiple metabolism abnormalities in most dialysis patients. However, the myokine has not been thoroughly studied in peritoneal dialysis. This study aimed to evaluate serum irisin levels and establish their relation to dialysis adequacy, insulin resistance, and bone metabolism status in patients on peritoneal dialysis. Methods A total of 59 nondiabetic prevalent peritoneal dialysis patients and 52 age- and sex-matched healthy controls were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. Serum irisin concentration was assessed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The correlations between serum irisin and dialysis adequacy, clinical, and metabolic variables were investigated. Results Serum irisin levels were lower in nondiabetic peritoneal dialysis patients (17.02ng/ml) compared with healthy controls (22.17ng/ml, P<0.001). Multivariate regression analysis revealed that fasting glucose levels were correlated inversely with serum irisin levels in peritoneal dialysis patients. Serum irisin levels were associated with neither insulin resistance nor bone metabolism in our patients. Serum irisin levels were positively associated with peritoneal Kt/Vurea (β = 4.933, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.536–9.331, P = 0.029) and peritoneal CCr (β = 0.259, 95% CI = 0.053–0.465, P = 0.015) among peritoneal dialysis patients. Conclusions The study demonstrated that non-diabetic peritoneal dialysis patients have lower serum irisin levels, and the levels were correlated with peritoneal dialysis adequacy, indicating adequate dialysis may improve irisin secretion. Additional studies are needed to provide a confirmation.

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

Abstract
Background: Mortality in patients with stages 4 and 5 chronic kidney disease (CKD) is higher than in the general population. Body composition predicts mortality. Our objective was to evaluate the effect of body composition on mortality in patients with stages 4 and 5 non-dialysis CKD. Methods: We performed a prospective study of 356 patients with stages 4 and 5 non-dialysis CKD. At baseline, we recorded general characteristics, history of cardiovascular events, body composition, serum inflammatory markers, nutrition and cardiac biomarkers. Body composition was analysed using bioimpedance spectroscopy. We recorded the lean tissue index (LTI), fat tissue index (FTI) and overhydration (OH). During a median (range) follow-up of 22 (3-49) months, we recorded mortality, cardiovascular events and progress to renal replacement therapy. Results: At baseline, mean (± standard deviation) age was 67 ± 13 years (men 64%; diabetes 36%). Mean body mass index was 28.2 ± 12.8 kg/m2, the FTI was 12.3 ± 5.6 kg/m2, the LTI was 15.7 ± 3.4 kg/m2 and median (interquartile range) OH was 0.6 (-0.4 to 1.5) L. Sixty-four (18%) patients died during follow-up. The univariate Cox analysis showed an association between mortality and age, low LTI, high Charlson comorbidity index, previous cardiovascular events, OH, low albumin and prealbumin levels, and high C-reactive protein levels. Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed higher survival in patients with a higher LTI (log-rank, 9.47; P = 0.002). The multivariate Cox analysis confirmed an association between mortality and low LTI (P = 0.031), previous cardiovascular events (P = 0.003) and high Charlson comorbidity index (P = 0.01). We did not find any association between body composition and cardiovascular events or renal replacement therapy. Conclusions: A low LTI is an independent factor for mortality in patients with stages 4 and 5 CKD.

Abstract
The terminologies of "body size", "body mass index (BMI)", "body weight", "large BMI" and "obesity" are controversial for defining the effects of "adiposity" or "fat excess" on the outcomes of dialysis and transplant patients. However, probably these terminologies will be continued to be used in the future as well, because of being older and simpler terminologies. In the general population obesity is a powerful risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, while, it conferred a survival advantage to dialysis patients. However, this may be a oversimplification, since obesity may still be a risk factor in non-sarcopenic hemodialysis patients. Obesity is associated with early post-transplant adverse effects (i.e. delayed graft function, graft failure, wound infections, also transplant costs) and unfavorable graft and patient survival. However, thanks to safer immunosuppressive protocols, recently graft and patient survival is similar in obese as those of the non-obese patients. On the other hand, morbid obesity may still be a cause of unfavorable patient and graft survival. Since obese transplant recipients have better life expectancy as compared to wait-listed hemodialysis patients, they should be transplanted as well, while morbidly obese patients should be asked to lose weight before being placed in the waiting lists.

Abstract
Reduced dietary protein intake in malnourished patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) may be associated with adverse clinical outcomes, which may mask any efficacy of a low-protein diet. The study included 126 patients with CKD who attended a dedicated dietary counseling clinic in 2005-2009 and were systematically followed until January 2015. Of these patients, 20 (15.9%) had moderate or severe nutrition-related risk of geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) < 92; these patients were more likely to be older, have a greater proteinuria, and have lower body mass index and serum albumin concentration. Dietary protein intake was significantly lower in older patients (r = -0.33, p < 0.001) and those with lower glomerular filtration rate (r = 0.47, p < 0.001). The non-protein to nitrogen calorie ratio was independently associated with GNRI. Reduced GNRI was significantly associated with mortality (hazard ratio (HR) = 4.94; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.61-15.42, p = 0.012) and cardiovascular events (HR = 9.37; 95% CI = 2.49-37.34, p = 0.006), but not with adverse renal outcomes. Restricting protein intake may be harmful to patients with any nutrition-related risk, suggesting that improvement of nutritional status should be a high priority.

Abstract
Obesity is associated with worse short-term outcomes after kidney transplantation but the effect on long-term outcomes is unknown. Although some studies have reported worse outcomes for obese recipients when compared to recipients with a BMI in the normal range, obese recipients who receive a transplant have better outcomes than those who remain wait-listed. Whether transplant candidates should be advised to lose weight before or after transplant has been debated and this is mainly due to the gap in the literature linking pre-transplant weight loss with better outcomes post-transplantation. The issue is further complicated by the use of BMI as a metric of body fat, the obesity paradox in dialysis patients and the different ethical viewpoints of utility versus equity. Measures used to reduce weight loss, including orlistat and bariatric surgery (in particular those with a malabsorptive component), have been associated with enteric hyperoxaluria with consequent risk of nephrolithiasis and oxalate nephropathy. In this review, we discuss the evidence regarding the use of weight loss measures in the kidney transplant candidate and recipient with a view to recommending whether weight loss should be pursued before or after kidney transplantation.

Abstract
AIMS Bisphenol A (BPA) is associated with diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. The aim of our study was to evaluate whether serum BPA could predict the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). METHODS In this prospective study, a total of 121 patients with T2D and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥ 60 mL/min/1.73 m(2) were followed up for 6 years. The baseline values of serum BPA were measured. Renal function was measured as eGFR calculated by the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration creatinine-cystatin C equation. Development of CKD was defined as eGFR < 60 mL/min/1.73 m(2) at the last follow-up. Regression models were used to analyze the associations of serum BPA with the change in eGFR and the risk of CKD development. RESULTS Baseline serum BPA concentration was 0.40 (0.17, 1.40) ng/mL. Duration of T2D, baseline waist circumference, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, fasting plasma glucose, and serum BPA level were significantly negatively associated with the annual change and percentage change in eGFR. After adjusting for clinical factors, baseline serum BPA level had a significant negative association with the annual change in eGFR (β = -0.371, P < 0.001) and percentage change in eGFR (β = -0.391, P = <0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that patients with high levels of serum BPA exhibited about a sevenfold increased risk of developing CKD compared to patients with low levels of serum BPA [odds ratio (OR) 6.65 (95 % CI 1.47, 30.04), P = 0.014]. CONCLUSION Serum BPA may be a predictor of CKD in patients with T2D.

Abstract
A high Body Mass Index (BMI) predicts delayed graft function, all cause and cardiovascular death after transplantation but such risk excess is apparently confined to patients included in studies performed before 2000. Perhaps with the exception of morbid obesity (BMI > 40), clinical outcomes in transplanted obese patients are definitely better than in listed dialysis patients who don't receive a renal transplant. Furthermore the new Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients (SRTR) risk calculator incorporates BMI into the prediction model of the global risk for the graft's and patient's survival appropriately framing the risk of obesity in a multidimensional risk context. In the aggregate, available knowledge suggests that clinical decisions on weight loss before transplantation should be context specific. Renal transplant patients from living donors have substantial better survival in comparison to well matched dialysis patients listed for the same intervention at all BMI categories. Therefore renal transplantation in obese patients with a living donor may be prioritized. The attitude of fully informed obese patients at accepting the risk driven by transplantation, the experience of the surgical team with obese patients (including also robotic surgery) are of obvious importance. Renal transplantation should be timely considered when reasonable attempts at weight loss failed or appear overtly unrealistic. Transplantation in morbidly obese patients with BMI > 40, a category where the survival advantage of transplantation vs dialysis is probably small and still uncertain, particularly so in African-Americans, should be deferred until significant weight loss is achieved.

Abstract
Skin offers easy access, convenience and non-invasiveness for drug delivery and diagnosis. In principle, these advantages of skin appear to be attractive for critically ill patients given potential difficulties that may be associated with oral and parenteral access in these patients. However, the profound changes in skin physiology that can be seen in these patients provide a challenge to reliably deliver drugs or provide diagnostic information. Drug delivery through skin may be used to manage burn injury, wounds, infection, trauma and the multisystem complications that rise from these conditions. Local anaesthetics and analgesics can be delivered through skin and may have wide application in critically ill patients. To ensure accurate information, diagnostic tools require validation in the critically ill patient population as information from other patient populations may not be applicable.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Muscle wasting is common among patients with ESRD, but little is known about differences in muscle mass in persons with CKD before the initiation of dialysis. If sarcopenia was common, it might affect the use of body mass index for diagnosing obesity in people with CKD. Because obesity may be protective in patients with CKD and ESRD, an accurate understanding of how sarcopenia affects its measurement is crucial. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS Differences in body composition across eGFR categories in adult participants of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 1999-2004 who underwent dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry were examined. Obesity defined by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry versus body mass index and sarcopenia as a contributor to misclassification by body mass index were examined. RESULTS Sarcopenia and sarcopenic obesity were more prevalent among persons with lower eGFR (P trend <0.01 and P trend <0.001, respectively). After multivariable adjustment, the association of sarcopenia with eGFR was U-shaped. Stage 4 CKD was independently associated with sarcopenia among participants ≥60 years old (adjusted odds ratio, 2.58; 95% confidence interval, 1.02 to 6.51 for eGFR=15-29 compared with 60-89 ml/min per 1.73 m(2); P for interaction by age=0.02). Underestimation of obesity by body mass index compared with dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry increased with lower eGFR (P trend <0.001), was greatest among participants with eGFR=15-29 ml/min per 1.73 m(2) (71% obese by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry versus 41% obese by body mass index), and was highly likely among obese participants with sarcopenia (97.7% misclassified as not obese by body mass index). CONCLUSIONS Sarcopenia and sarcopenic obesity are highly prevalent among persons with CKD and contribute to poor classification of obesity by body mass index. Measurements of body composition beyond body mass index should be used whenever possible in the CKD population given this clear limitation.

Abstract
Background The visceral adiposity index (VAI) is a newly-derived measure of visceral adiposity with well-validated predictive power for cardiovascular (CV) outcomes in the general population. However, this predictability has not been investigated in hemodialysis patients, and whether VAI is superior to waist circumference (WC) and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) in predicting CV outcomes and survival in hemodialysis patients remains unknown. Methods We performed a prospective study including 464 prevalent hemodialysis patients. The composite outcome was the occurrence of death and CV events during follow-up. Using multivariate Cox regression analysis, VAI, WC and WHtR were tested for the predictive power of outcomes. To evaluate the predictive performance of the VAI, WC and WHtR, time-dependent receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analysis was performed. Results VAI, WC and WHtR positively correlated with each other. Patients with a higher VAI (tertile 3 vs. tertile 1, adjusted hazard ratio (HR), 1.65; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.12-2.42; tertile 2 vs. tertile 1, adjusted HR, 1.52; 95% CI, 1.1-2.18) had more composite outcomes. VAI had a similar predictive power of all-cause mortality to WC and WHtR, but superior predictive power of composite and CV outcomes to WC when analyzed by a stepwise forward likelihood ratio test. In time-dependent ROC analysis, VAI, WC and WHtR showed similar predictive performance for outcomes. Conclusion VAI is an optimal method to measure visceral adiposity to assess long-term CV outcomes and all-cause mortality in prevalent hemodialysis patients. VAI may provide a superior predictive power of CV outcomes to WC and WHtR. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov NCT01457625

J Diabetes Complications 2014; 28:208-13. [PMID: 24332937 DOI: 10.1016/j.jdiacomp.2013.09.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 71] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/15/2013] [Revised: 09/25/2013] [Accepted: 09/26/2013] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
AIMS Chronic kidney disease (CKD) secondary to type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is associated with multifaceted energy dysmetabolism. We aim to study the relationship between renal function, body composition and irisin, the recently identified myokine which is involved in energy regulation, in T2DM. METHODS Circulating irisin and body composition were measured in 365 T2DM subjects across a wide range of renal function. RESULTS Circulating irisin was significantly decreased in T2DM with renal insufficiency (77.4 ± 13.7 ng/ml in T2DM with eGFR ≥ 60 ml/min/1.73 m(2) versus 72.5 ± 14.9 ng/ml in those with eGFR<60 ml/min/1.73 m(2), p = 0.001) and the reduction in irisin was most pronounced in stage 5 CKD patients. In T2DM with preserved renal function, irisin was correlated with age (r = -0.242, p = 0.001) and pulse pressure (r = -0.188, p = 0.002). Among those with renal insufficiency, irisin was correlated with BMI (r = 0.171, p = 0.022), fat mass (r = 0.191, p = 0.013), percentage of fat mass (r = 0.210, p = 0.007) and eGFR (r = 0.171, p = 0.020). Multivariate linear regression models revealed that variations in circulating irisin were mainly attributable to eGFR and age in T2DM with and without renal impairment, respectively. CONCLUSION Our observations suggest that the level of circulating irisin may be associated with renal function in T2DM. The role of reduced irisin in energy dysmetabolism in diabetic patients with renal insufficiency deserves further investigation.

Abstract
Obesity is a risk factor for chronic kidney disease, and its prevalence among the elderly is increasing. We investigated the effects of changes in body fat percentage (BFP) on the longitudinal changes in the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in the elderly. This prospective cohort study included 390 participants aged >65 years who underwent bioelectrical impedance analysis at baseline and follow-up as a part of the Korean Longitudinal Study on Health and Aging. After a median follow-up period of 5.3 years, BFP was significantly higher than that at the start point (P<0.05). Participants who had the largest increase in BFP had the highest BMI and waist circumference (WC) (P<0.001). The highest tertile had the highest white blood cell count and erythrocyte sedimentation rate, incidence of rapid progression, and decline in eGFR >25% (P≤0.017, P = 0.025, P = 0.005, respectively). The lowest tertile had the lowest triglyceride and highest high-density lipoprotein levels (P<0.05). The adjusted decline rate in eGFR was correlated with a change in BFP (P = 0.039), but not with that in BMI or WC. The highest tertile had a 4.875-fold increase in the risk for rapid progression to a decline in eGFR (95% CI: 1.366-17.397) and a 4.931-fold decrease in the risk to a decline in eGFR>25% (95% CI: 1.617-15.037), when compared with the lowest tertile. In subgroup analysis, the incidence of renal outcomes was significantly increased according to the increase in BFP in patients with lower eGFR (P≤0.010). A change in BFP may be associated with inflammation and dyslipidemia development, and longitudinal changes in body fat are related to a decrease in eGFR in the elderly.

Abstract
Obesity, the epidemic of the 21st century, carries a markedly increased risk for comorbid complications, such as type 2 diabetes, cancer, hypertension, dyslipidemia, cardiovascular disease, and sleep apnea. In addition, obesity increases the risk for CKD and its progression to ESRD. Paradoxically, even morbid obesity associates with better outcomes in studies of ESRD patients on maintenance dialysis. Because the number of obese CKD and maintenance dialysis patients is projected to increase markedly in developed as well as low- and middle-income countries, obesity is a rapidly emerging problem for the international renal community. Targeting the obesity epidemic represents an unprecedented opportunity for health officials to ameliorate the current worldwide increase in CKD prevalence. Nephrologists need more information about assessing and managing obesity in the setting of CKD. Specifically, more precise estimation of regional fat distribution and the amount of muscle mass should be introduced into regular clinical practice to complement more commonly used practical markers, such as body mass index. Studies examining the effects of obesity on kidney disease progression and other clinical outcomes along with weight management strategies are much needed in this orphan area of research.

Abstract
In the general population, obesity is associated with increased risk of end-stage renal disease (ESRD), especially if obesity occurs during young adulthood. Obesity is also associated with increased cardiovascular risk and mortality in the general population. However, observational studies which focused on populations with ESRD have demonstrated a more indirect association between body mass index and mortality, and this association has been termed paradoxical. Some have questioned whether the association between obesity and mortality is modified by ESRD. In this review, we discuss effect modification and interaction and factors that may lead to an assumption of effect modification when we observe decreased mortality among obese adults with ESRD. We show that assumptions of the existence of effect modification may be incorrect when the analysis is conditioned on a particular disease state that is influenced by obesity.

Abstract
Background This study aimed to investigate the association of both body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) with left ventricular mass (LVM) in hypertensive predialysis chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. Methods From 2004 to 2005, 206 consecutive incident adult patients from the outpatient CKD clinics of two hospitals in Greece were included. Inclusion criteria were the presence of CKD and hypertension. BMI (kg/m2), WC (cm) and LVM (g) were assessed annually for 3 years. Results The mean age was 68.1 years, mean BMI 29.1 kg/m2 and mean WC was 103.7 cm. The median LVM was 245.7 g (n = 179). In the cross-sectional data, linear regression models showed that WC {β = 1.2 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.15; 2.3]}, and not BMI [β = 2.1 (95% CI: −0.70; 4.8)], was significantly associated with LVM. After adjustment for age, sex, primary renal disease, smoking and history of cardiovascular disease, both BMI [β = 4.7 (95% CI: 2.0; 7.4] and WC [β = 1.2 (95% CI: 0.14; 2.3)] were significantly associated with LVM. These associations were pronounced in CKD stage 1–3, but not in CKD stage 4–5. In the longitudinal analysis, linear mixed models adjusting for confounders showed that both an increase in BMI [β = 2.9 (95% CI: 0.74; 5.1)] and an increase in WC [β = 1.1 (95% CI: 0.28; 1.8)] were significantly associated with an increase in LVM. Conclusions In hypertensive predialysis CKD patients, both BMI and WC were associated with LVM in CKD stage 1–3, but not in CKD stage 4–5. In the longitudinal analysis, both an increase in BMI and WC were associated with an increase in LVM. Future studies should focus on mechanisms responsible for the associations between anthropometric variables and LVM.

Abstract
Obesity is prevalent worldwide and is a major risk factor for many diseases including renal complications. Thrombospondin 1 (TSP1), a multifunctional extracellular matrix protein, plays an important role in diabetic kidney diseases. However, whether TSP1 plays a role in obesity-related kidney disease is unknown. In the present studies, the role of TSP1 in obesity-induced renal dysfunction was determined by using a diet-induced obese mouse model. The results demonstrated that TSP1 was significantly upregulated in the kidney from obese mice. The increased TSP1 was localized in the glomerular mesangium as well as in the tubular system from obese wild-type mice. Obese wild-type mice developed renal hypertrophy and albuminuria, which was associated with increased kidney macrophage infiltration, augmented kidney inflammation, and activated transforming growth factor (TGF)-β signaling and renal fibrosis. In contrast, obese TSP1-deficient mice did not develop these kidney damages. Furthermore, in vitro studies demonstrated that leptin treatment stimulated the expression of TSP1, TGF-β1, fibronectin, and collagen type IV in mesangial cells isolated from wild-type mice. These leptin-stimulated effects were abolished in TSP1-deficient mesangial cells. Taken together, these data suggest that TSP1 is an important mediator for obesity- or hyperleptinemia-induced kidney dysfunction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES A high body mass index (BMI) is associated with lower mortality in patients undergoing hemodialysis. Short-term weight gains and losses are also related to lower and higher mortality risk, respectively. The implications of weight gain or loss may, however, differ between obese individuals and their nonobese counterparts. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS The Current Management of Secondary Hyperparathyroidism: A Multicenter Observational Study (COSMOS) is an observational study including 6797 European hemodialysis patients recruited between February 2005 and July 2007, with prospective data collection every 6 months for 3 years. Time-dependent Cox proportional hazard regressions assessed the effect of BMI and weight changes on mortality. Analyses were performed after patient stratification according to their starting BMI. RESULTS Among 6296 patients with complete data, 1643 died. At study entry, 42% of patients had a normal weight (BMI, 20-25 kg/m(2)), 11% were underweight, 31% were overweight, and 16% were obese (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m(2)). Weight loss or gain (<1% or >1% of body weight) was strongly associated with higher rates of mortality or survival, respectively. After stratification by BMI categories, this was true in nonobese categories and especially in underweight patients. In obese patients, however, the association between weight loss and mortality was attenuated (hazard ratio, 1.28 [95% confidence interval (CI), 0.74 to 2.14]), and no survival benefit of gaining weight was seen (hazard ratio, 0.98 [95% CI, 0.59 to 1.62]). CONCLUSIONS Assuming that these weight changes were unintentional, our study brings attention to rapid weight variations as a clinical sign of health monitoring in hemodialysis patients. In addition, a patient's BMI modifies the strength of the association between weight changes with mortality.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate whether increased visceral adipose tissue is a risk factor for increased morbidity and mortality in intensive care patients with severe sepsis. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this prospective cohort study, body mass index (BMI) and sagittal abdominal diameter (SAD) were measured in all patients with severe sepsis immediately after admission in the intensive care unit (ICU). The patients were followed up until death or discharge from ICU. The study's primary outcome measure was mortality until day 60 after admission, while secondary outcomes were morbidity, length of stay, and length of ventilation in ICU. RESULTS Of the 30 patients, 24 (80%) developed septic shock, 6 (20%) multiple organ dysfunction syndrome, 13 (43.3%) necessitated continuous venovenous hemodiafiltration, while 6 (20%) of them died. BMI and SAD had a statistically significant positive linear correlation with ICU length of stay (P < .001) and length of ventilation (P ≤ .001). However, only SAD was significantly correlated with the development of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (P = .033), the need for continuous venovenous hemodiafiltration (P = .004), and death (P = .033). CONCLUSION An increased SAD may effectively predict future complications and increased mortality in intensive care unit patients with severe sepsis.

Abstract
Ectopic lipid accumulation is now known to be a mechanism that contributes to organ injury in the context of metabolic diseases. In muscle and liver, accumulation of lipids impairs insulin signaling. This hypothesis accounts for the mechanism of insulin resistance in obesity, type 2 diabetes, aging and lipodystrophy. Increasing data suggest that lipid accumulation in the kidneys could also contribute to the alteration of kidney function in the context of metabolic syndrome and obesity. Furthermore and more unexpectedly, animal models of kidney disease exhibit a decreased adiposity and ectopic lipid redistribution suggesting that kidney disease may be a state of lipodystrophy. However, whether this abnormal lipid partitioning during chronic kidney disease (CKD) may have any functional impact in these tissues needs to be investigated. Here, we provide a perspective by defining the problem and analyzing the possible causes and consequences. Further human studies are required to strengthen these observations, and provide novel therapeutic approaches.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity, the largest epidemic of modern time, carries a markedly increased risk of type-2 diabetes, cancer, fatty liver, sleep apnea, hypertension, dyslipidemia and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. In addition, obesity increases the risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and its progression to end-stage renal disease (ESRD). There are limited data regarding the basic knowledge of nephrologists on how to assess and manage obesity in the setting of CKD. METHODS To learn more about practice patterns among nephrologists, a survey on obesity was published online in NDT-Educational between 8 November 2012 and 31 January 2013. Three-hundred and ninety-nine responses were received mostly from nephrologists in Europe (57%), South and Central America (12%) and the Middle East (10%). The majority practiced in clinical nephrology (64%) and outpatient dialysis clinics (23%). Whereas 54% of the participants worked in hospitals, 31% worked in academic centers. RESULTS Most participants stated that the number of obese patients has increased both among their CKD stage 2-5 patients and in their dialysis clinics during the last 10 years. For routine estimation of body fat content in the dialysis clinic, the majority of nephrologists (43%) still rely on the body mass index (BMI). A majority (72%) does not think that weight gain should be promoted in dialysis patients with a BMI of <35 kg/m(2). The survey also showed that 30% of the responders did not have any predetermined cut-off level for BMI. However, 29% used a cut-off level of 35 kg/m(2) and 27% used a cut-off level of 30 kg/m(2) for approval for kidney transplantation in their clinics. CONCLUSIONS The level of understanding of the intricacies of obesity in the setting of CKD needs improvement among nephrologists. Similarly, there is no consensus regarding weight management strategies in CKD patients with obesity. Studies are needed in this orphan area of renal research.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pathophysiologic changes during the menopause transition may contribute to the risk of metabolic syndrome (MetS). Body fat composition, particularly visceral fat, is highly associated with increased insulin resistance, abnormal carbohydrate metabolism and high blood pressure. We purposefully wished to determine the optimal cut-off values of body fat composition, including visceral fat, in order to predict MetS and to assess the prevalence of MetS in peri- and postmenopausal women. METHODS This cross-sectional study was conducted in a population-based, prospective cohort at the Menopause and Gynecology clinics, King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital. Body fat percentage and visceral fat rating were measured by a bioelectrical impedance analyzer (Tanita SC 330). MetS was diagnosed using the Harmonizing criteria of A Joint Interim Statement of IDF/NHLBI/AHA/WHF/IAS/IASO 2009. Receiver operating characteristic analyses were performed to determine the optimal cut-off values of body fat, visceral fat, waist circumference and body mass index to identify peri- and postmenopausal women at risk of MetS. RESULTS Ninety-two perimenopausal and 446 postmenopausal women aged 40-60 years were recruited for the analyses. The optimal cut-off values for body fat percentage, visceral fat rating, waist circumference and body mass index for identifying women at risk of MetS were 34%, 7, 88 cm and 24 kg/m(2), respectively. The prevalence of MetS in this study was 27.9%. CONCLUSION The optimal cut-off values to predict MetS of body fat percentage, visceral fat and waist circumference were established. Using the Harmonizing 2009 criteria, we found that approximately one out of four peri- and postmenopausal women in this study had MetS.
