Abstract
OBJECTIVE Zinc is an essential trace element, being a cofactor for almost 300 enzymes. As zinc is widely available in the diet, the European Best Practice Guidelines do not recommend routine supplementation in dialysis patients. However, some medicines prescribed to dialysis patients may potentially reduce absorption, and there may be increased losses with dialysis. As older and co-morbid patients are now treated by peritoneal dialysis (PD) we wished to determine the prevalence of patients with low plasma zinc levels. DESIGN AND METHODS We prospectively measured plasma zinc in 550 PD patients attending for their first peritoneal membrane assessment using atomic absorption spectroscopy. Body composition was determined by bioimpedance. RESULTS Plasma zinc was measured in 550 patients, mean age 58.7 years, 60.6% male, mean value 10.8 ± 2.2 umol/L, with 66.5% having low zinc levels (<11.5 umol/L). Normal plasma zinc was associated with haemoglobin (odds ratio (OR) 1.41 (95% confidence limits (95%CL) 1.22-1.63), serum albumin (OR 1.04 (95%CL 1.002-1.087), higher glucose dialysates L/day (OR 1.06 (1.001-1.129), and negatively with 24-hour urinary protein losses (OR 0.786 (95%CL 0.673-0.918) and age (OR 0.985 (95%CL 0.972-1.0). There was no association with dialysis adequacy, original renal disease or dietary protein estimation. Prescription of phosphate binders had no effect on zinc levels (10.7 ± 2.2 vs 10.8 ± 2.3 umol/L). CONCLUSIONS Most PD patients had low plasma zinc levels, associated with older age, probably reflecting reduced intake, urinary protein losses, and lower albumin and haemoglobin most likely linked to greater co-morbidity, low grade inflammation and volume expansion requiring higher glucose dialysates.

Development and validation of a nomogram to predict protein-energy wasting in patients with peritoneal dialysis: a multicenter cohort study. PeerJ 2023; 11:e15507. [PMID: 37304869 PMCID: PMC10249631 DOI: 10.7717/peerj.15507] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/15/2022] [Accepted: 05/15/2023] [Indexed: 06/13/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Protein-energy wasting (PEW) is a common complication in patients with peritoneal dialysis (PD). Few investigations involved risk factors identification and predictive model construction related to PEW. We aimed to develop a nomogram to predict PEW risk in patients with peritoneal dialysis. Methods We collected data from end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients who regularly underwent peritoneal dialysis between January 2011 and November 2022 at two hospitals retrospectively. The outcome of the nomogram was PEW. Multivariate logistic regression screened predictors and established a nomogram. We measured the predictive performance based on discrimination ability, calibration, and clinical utility. Evaluation indicators were receiver operating characteristic (ROC), calibrate curve, and decision curve analysis (DCA). The performance calculation of the internal validation cohort validated the nomogram. Results In this study, 369 enrolled patients were divided into development (n = 210) and validation (n = 159) cohorts according to the proportion of 6:4. The incidence of PEW was 49.86%. Predictors were age, dialysis duration, glucose, C-reactive protein (CRP), creatinine clearance rate (Ccr), serum creatinine (Scr), serum calcium, and triglyceride (TG). These variables showed a good discriminate performance in development and validation cohorts (ROC = 0.769, 95% CI [0.705-0.832], ROC = 0.669, 95% CI [0.585-0.753]). This nomogram was adequately calibrated. The predicted probability was consistent with the observed outcome. Conclusion This nomogram can predict the risk of PEW in patients with PD and provide valuable evidence for PEW prevention and decision-making.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Peritoneal protein loss (PPL) has been associated with mortality. Inflammation was assumed a putative cause with malnutrition as a consequence. Hydrostatic convection is a major drive for microvascular protein transport, but most studies in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients overlooked this mechanism. An association between peritoneal protein clearance (PPCl) and venous congestion has been reported recently. The aim of this study was to explore the importance of fluid overload in PPCl in PD. METHODS Sixty-seven prevalent PD patients were assessed with peritoneal equilibration test and multifrequency bioelectrical impedance assessment (BIA). PPL and PPCl were calculated from simultaneously obtained 24-h peritoneal effluent. RESULTS PPL averaged 5.2 g/24 h. It was higher in patients on continuous treatment than in those without a long dwell. Significant associations between PPCl and BIA parameters of overhydration were found in both univariable and multivariable analyses. Lean mass index, partly dependent on hydration status, was associated with PPCl in univariable but not in multivariable analysis. A multiple linear model identified extracellular water excess and higher D/P creatinine as predictors of higher PPCl, independent of PD duration, type of PD, age, gender, albumin, cardiovascular disease, C-reactive protein, or lean mass index. CONCLUSIONS The uni- and multivariable strong associations between fluid overload and PPCl support the importance of hydrostatic pressure-induced convection for PPCl. Also, peritoneal small solute transport was associated with PPCl. Both are amenable by adjusted dialysis prescription, especially focused on fluid status and avoidance of overhydration. The assumption of an association with inflammation and malnutrition was not confirmed.

Relationships between Peritoneal Protein Clearance and Parameters of Fluid Status Agree with Clinical Observations in other Diseases that Venous Congestion Increases Microvascular Protein Escape.

Abstract
Background Peritoneal effluent from peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients contains proteins, mainly transported from the circulation through large pores in the venular part of the peritoneal micro-vessels. Hydrostatic convection is the major driver for peritoneal protein transport, although in PD there is additional diffusion. Consequently, venous pressure may have a role in peritoneal protein transport. The aim of the study was to investigate the importance of venous congestion on the magnitude of peritoneal protein clearance in incident PD patients using non-invasive measurements. Methods A total of 316 adult PD patients, on PD for 8 - 12 weeks and collecting 24-hour urine and dialysate for total protein determination, underwent standard peritoneal equilibration testing (PET) along with measurement of N terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and C-reactive protein (CRP), multifrequency bioimpedance analysis, and a transthoracic echocardiogram. Results Statistically significant univariate relationships for peritoneal protein clearance with a Spearman correlation coefficient > 0.25 were present for 4-hour dialysate/plasma (D/P) creatinine, NT-proBNP, extracellular/total body water, extracellular water excess, left ventricular mass, and right atrial area. Negative correlations were found with serum total protein and residual renal function. On multivariate analysis, logNTproBNP (β 0.11, p = 0.007) and right atrial area (β 0.01, p = 0.03) were significant independent predictors of peritoneal protein clearance. Conclusion Indicators of venous congestion showed the most important relationships with peritoneal protein clearance. These indicators have not been assessed in previous studies on the presence or absence of relationships between peritoneal protein clearance and mortality.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Muscle wasting is associated with increased mortality and is commonly reported in dialysis patients. Hemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD) treatments lead to protein losses in effluent dialysate. We wished to determine whether changes in current dialysis practice had increased therapy-associated nitrogen losses. DESIGN Cross-sectional cohort study. METHODS Measurement of total protein, urea and total nitrogen in effluent dialysate from 24-hour collections from PD patients, and during haemodiafiltration (HDF) and haemodialysis (HD) sessions. SUBJECTS One hundred eight adult dialysis patients. INTERVENTION Peritoneal dialysis, high-flux haemodialysis and haemodiafiltration. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE Total nitrogen and protein losses. RESULTS Dialysate protein losses were measured in 68 PD and 40 HD patients. Sessional losses of urea (13.9 [9.2-21.1] vs. 4.8 [2.8-7.8] g); protein (8.6 [7.2-11.1] vs. 6.7 [3.9-11.1] g); and nitrogen (11.5 [8.7-17.7] vs. 4.9 [2.6-9.5] g) were all greater for HD than PD, P < .001. Protein-derived nitrogen was 71.9 (54.4-110.4) g for HD and 30.8 (16.1-59.6) g for PD. Weekly protein losses were lower with HD 25.9 (21.5-33.4) versus 46.6 (27-77.6) g/week, but nitrogen losses were similar. We found no difference between high-flux HD and HDF: urea (13.5 [8.8-20.6] vs. 15.3 [10.5-25.5] g); protein (8.8 [7.3-12.2] vs. 7.6 [5.8-9.0] g); and total nitrogen (11.6 [8.3-17.3] vs. 10.8 [8.9-22.5] g). Urea nitrogen (UN) only accounted for 45.1 (38.3-51.0)% PD and 63.0 (55.3-62.4)% HD of total nitrogen losses. CONCLUSION Although sessional losses of protein and UN were greater with HD, weekly losses were similar between modalities. We found no differences between HD and HDF. However, total nitrogen losses were much greater than the combination of protein and UN, suggesting greater nutritional losses with dialysis than previously reported.

[PMID: 29314721 DOI: 10.1111/1744-9987.12647] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/03/2017] [Revised: 09/28/2017] [Accepted: 09/29/2017] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
Peritoneal protein clearance (PPCl) depends upon vascular supply and size selective permeability. Some previous reports suggested PPCl can distinguish fast peritoneal membrane transport due to local or systemic inflammation. However, as studies have been discordant, we wished to determine factors associated with an increased PPCl. Consecutive patients starting peritoneal dialysis (PD) who were peritonitis-free were studied. Data included a baseline peritoneal equilibration test (PET), measurement of dialysis adequacy, 24-h dialysate PPCl and body composition measured by multifrequency bioimpedance. 411 patients, mean age 57.2 ± 16.6 years, 60.8% male, 39.4% diabetic, 20.2% treated by continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) were studied. Mean PET 4-h Dialysate/Serum creatinine was 0.73 ± 0.13, with daily peritoneal protein loss 4.6 (3.3-6.4) g, and median PPCl 69.6 (49.1-99.6) mL/day. On multivariate analysis, PPCl was most strongly associated with CAPD (β 0.25, P < 0.001), extracellular water (ECW)/total body water (TBW) ratio (β 0.21, P < 0.001), skeletal muscle mass index (β 0.21, P < 0.001), log N-terminal brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) (β 0.17, P = 0.001), faster PET transport (β 0.15, P = 0.005), and normalized nitrogen appearance rate (β 0.13, P = 0.008). In addition to the longer dwell times of CAPD, greater peritoneal creatinine clearance and faster PET transporter status, we observed an association between increased PPCl and ECW expansion, increased NT-proBNP, estimated dietary protein intake and muscle mass, suggesting a link to sodium intake and sodium balance, increasing both ECW and conduit artery hydrostatic pressure resulting in greater vascular protein permeability. This latter association may explain reports linking PPCl to patient mortality.
