Abstract
BACKGROUND Adapting drug treatments for patients on hemodialysis with multiple chronic pathologies is a complex affair. When prescribing a medication, the risk-benefit analysis usually focuses primarily on the indication of the drug class prescribed. However, the pharmacokinetics of the chosen drug should also be taken into account. The purpose of our review was to identify the drugs to be favored in each therapeutic class, according to their safety and pharmacokinetic profiles, for the most common chronic diseases in patients on chronic hemodialysis. METHODS We conducted a narrative review of the literature using Medline and Web of Science databases, targeting studies on the most commonly-prescribed drugs for non-communicable diseases in patients on chronic hemodialysis. RESULTS The search identified 1224 articles, 95 of which were further analyzed. The main classes of drugs included concern the cardiovascular system (anti-hypertensives, anti-arrhythmics, anti-thrombotics, hypocholesterolemics), the endocrine and metabolic pathways (anti-diabetics, gastric anti-secretory, anticoagulant, thyroid hormones, anti-gout) and psychiatric and neurological disorders (antidepressants, anxiolytics, antipsychotics and anti-epileptics). CONCLUSION We report on the most often prescribed drugs for chronic pathologies in patients on chronic hemodialysis. Most of them require adaptation, and in some cases one better alternative stands out among the drug class. More pharmacokinetic data are needed to define the pharmacokinetics in the various dialysis techniques.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease is present in almost 10% of the world population and is associated with excess mortality and morbidity. Reduced glomerular filtration rate and the presence and extent of proteinuria, key domains of chronic kidney disease, have both been shown to be strong and independent risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Patients with kidney failure requiring dialysis are at highest risk for cardiovascular events (e.g., stroke or myocardial infarction), and of developing chronic cardiovascular conditions, such as heart failure. Despite the high burden of cardiovascular disease, there is a paucity of evidence supporting therapies to reduce this risk. Although long-term anticoagulant treatment has the potential to prevent thromboembolism in persons with kidney failure on dialysis, this possibility remains understudied. The limited data available on anticoagulation in patients with kidney failure has focused on vitamin K antagonists or direct oral anticoagulants that inhibit thrombin or factor (F) Xa. The risk of bleeding is a major concern with these agents. However, FXI is emerging as a potential safer target for new anticoagulants because FXI plays a greater part in thrombosis than in hemostasis. In this article, we (i) explain the rationale for considering anticoagulation therapy in patients with kidney failure to reduce atherothrombotic events, (ii) highlight the limitations of current anticoagulants in this patient population, (iii) explain the potential benefits of FXI inhibitors, and (iv) summarize ongoing studies investigating FXI inhibition in patients with kidney failure on dialysis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND End-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients even without known cardiovascular (CV) disease have high mortality rates. Whether neurohormonal blockade treatments improve outcomes in this population remains unknown. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors/angiotensin receptor blockers (ACEi/ARBs), β-blockers or both in all-cause mortality rates in incident ESRD patients without known CV disease starting renal replacement therapy (RRT) between 2009 and 2015 in the nationwide Réseau Epidémiologie et Information en Néphrologie registry. METHODS Patients with known CV disease and those who started emergency RRT, stopped RRT or died within 6 months were excluded. Propensity score matching models were used. The main outcome was all-cause mortality. RESULTS A total of 13 741 patients were included in this analysis. The median follow-up time was 24 months. When compared with matched controls without antihypertensive treatment, treatment with ACEi/ARBs, β-blockers and ACEi/ARBs + β-blockers was associated with an event-rate reduction per 100 person-years: ACEi/ARBs 7.6 [95% confidence interval (CI) 7.1-8.2] versus matched controls 9.5 (8.8-10.1) [HR 0.76 (95% CI 0.69-0.84)], β-blocker 7.1 (6.6-7.7) versus matched controls 9.5 (8.5-10.2) [HR 0.72 (0.65-0.80)] and ACEi/ARBs + β-blockers 5.8 (5.4-6.4) versus matched controls 7.8 (7.2-8.4) [HR 0.68 (0.61-0.77)]. CONCLUSIONS Neurohormonal blocking therapies were associated with death rate reduction in incident ESRD without CV disease. Whether these relationships are causal will require randomized controlled trials.

Abstract
More than half of all deaths among end stage renal disease (ESRD) patients are due to cardiovascular disease (CVD). Cardiovascular changes secondary to renal dysfunction, including fluid overload, uremic cardiomyopathy, secondary hyperparathyroidism, anemia, altered lipid metabolism, and accumulation of gut microbiota-derived uremic toxins like trimethylamine N-oxidase, contribute to the high risk for CVD in the ESRD population. In addition, conventional hemodialysis (HD) itself poses myocardial stress and injury on the already compromised cardiovascular system in uremic patients. This review will provide an overview of cardiovascular changes in chronic kidney disease and ESRD, a description of reported mechanisms for HD-induced myocardial injury, comparison of HD with other treatment modalities in the context of CVD, and possible management strategies.
