Abstract
BACKGROUND Peritoneal dialysis (PD) and haemodialysis (HD) are two possible modalities for people with kidney failure commencing dialysis. Only a few randomised controlled trials (RCTs) have evaluated PD versus HD. The benefits and harms of the two modalities remain uncertain. This review includes both RCTs and non-randomised studies of interventions (NRSIs). OBJECTIVES To evaluate the benefits and harms of PD, compared to HD, in people with kidney failure initiating dialysis. SEARCH METHODS We searched the Cochrane Kidney and Transplant Register of Studies from 2000 to June 2024 using search terms relevant to this review. Studies in the Register were identified through searches of CENTRAL, MEDLINE, and EMBASE, conference proceedings, the International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (ICTRP) Search Portal, and ClinicalTrials.gov. MEDLINE and EMBASE were searched for NRSIs from 2000 until 28 March 2023. SELECTION CRITERIA RCTs and NRSIs evaluating PD compared to HD in people initiating dialysis were eligible. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Two investigators independently assessed if the studies were eligible and then extracted data. Risk of bias was assessed using standard Cochrane methods, and relevant outcomes were extracted for each report. The primary outcome was residual kidney function (RKF). Secondary outcomes included all-cause, cardiovascular and infection-related death, infection, cardiovascular disease, hospitalisation, technique survival, life participation and fatigue. MAIN RESULTS A total of 153 reports of 84 studies (2 RCTs, 82 NRSIs) were included. Studies varied widely in design (small single-centre studies to international registry analyses) and in the included populations (broad inclusion criteria versus restricted to more specific participants). Additionally, treatment delivery (e.g. automated versus continuous ambulatory PD, HD with catheter versus arteriovenous fistula or graft, in-centre versus home HD) and duration of follow-up varied widely. The two included RCTs were deemed to be at high risk of bias in terms of blinding participants and personnel and blinding outcome assessment for outcomes pertaining to quality of life. However, most other criteria were assessed as low risk of bias for both studies. Although the risk of bias (Newcastle-Ottawa Scale) was generally low for most NRSIs, studies were at risk of selection bias and residual confounding due to the constraints of the observational study design. In children, there may be little or no difference between HD and PD on all-cause death (6 studies, 5752 participants: RR 0.81, 95% CI 0.62 to 1.07; I2 = 28%; low certainty) and cardiovascular death (3 studies, 7073 participants: RR 1.23, 95% CI 0.58 to 2.59; I2 = 29%; low certainty), and was unclear for infection-related death (4 studies, 7451 participants: RR 0.98, 95% CI 0.39 to 2.46; I2 = 56%; very low certainty). In adults, compared with HD, PD had an uncertain effect on RKF (mL/min/1.73 m2) at six months (2 studies, 146 participants: MD 0.90, 95% CI 0.23 to 3.60; I2 = 82%; very low certainty), 12 months (3 studies, 606 participants: MD 1.21, 95% CI -0.01 to 2.43; I2 = 81%; very low certainty) and 24 months (3 studies, 334 participants: MD 0.71, 95% CI -0.02 to 1.48; I2 = 72%; very low certainty). PD had uncertain effects on residual urine volume at 12 months (3 studies, 253 participants: MD 344.10 mL/day, 95% CI 168.70 to 519.49; I2 = 69%; very low certainty). PD may reduce the risk of RKF loss (3 studies, 2834 participants: RR 0.55, 95% CI 0.44 to 0.68; I2 = 17%; low certainty). Compared with HD, PD had uncertain effects on all-cause death (42 studies, 700,093 participants: RR 0.87, 95% CI 0.77 to 0.98; I2 = 99%; very low certainty). In an analysis restricted to RCTs, PD may reduce the risk of all-cause death (2 studies, 1120 participants: RR 0.53, 95% CI 0.32 to 0.86; I2 = 0%; moderate certainty). PD had uncertain effects on both cardiovascular (21 studies, 68,492 participants: RR 0.96, 95% CI 0.78 to 1.19; I2 = 92%) and infection-related death (17 studies, 116,333 participants: RR 0.90, 95% CI 0.57 to 1.42; I2 = 98%) (both very low certainty). Compared with HD, PD had uncertain effects on the number of patients experiencing bacteraemia/bloodstream infection (2 studies, 2582 participants: RR 0.34, 95% CI 0.10 to 1.18; I2 = 68%) and the number of patients experiencing infection episodes (3 studies, 277 participants: RR 1.23, 95% CI 0.93 to 1.62; I2 = 20%) (both very low certainty). PD may reduce the number of bacteraemia/bloodstream infection episodes (2 studies, 2637 participants: RR 0.44, 95% CI 0.27 to 0.71; I2 = 24%; low certainty). Compared with HD; It is uncertain whether PD reduces the risk of acute myocardial infarction (4 studies, 110,850 participants: RR 0.90, 95% CI 0.74 to 1.10; I2 = 55%), coronary artery disease (3 studies, 5826 participants: RR 0.95, 95% CI 0.46 to 1.97; I2 = 62%); ischaemic heart disease (2 studies, 58,374 participants: RR 0.86, 95% CI 0.57 to 1.28; I2 = 95%), congestive heart failure (3 studies, 49,511 participants: RR 1.10, 95% CI 0.54 to 2.21; I2 = 89%) and stroke (4 studies, 102,542 participants: RR 0.94, 95% CI 0.90 to 0.99; I2 = 0%) because of low to very low certainty evidence. Compared with HD, PD had uncertain effects on the number of patients experiencing hospitalisation (4 studies, 3282 participants: RR 0.90, 95% CI 0.62 to 1.30; I2 = 97%) and all-cause hospitalisation events (4 studies, 42,582 participants: RR 1.02, 95% CI 0.81 to 1.29; I2 = 91%) (very low certainty). None of the included studies reported specifically on life participation or fatigue. However, two studies evaluated employment. Compared with HD, PD had uncertain effects on employment at one year (2 studies, 593 participants: RR 0.83, 95% CI 0.20 to 3.43; I2 = 97%; very low certainty). AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS The comparative effectiveness of PD and HD on the preservation of RKF, all-cause and cause-specific death risk, the incidence of bacteraemia, other vascular complications (e.g. stroke, cardiovascular events) and patient-reported outcomes (e.g. life participation and fatigue) are uncertain, based on data obtained mostly from NRSIs, as only two RCTs were included.

Abstract
Purpose This study aimed to investigate the intricate relationship between weight change patterns and the onset of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Although obesity is recognized as a predisposing factor for CKD, the dynamics of weight fluctuation and its impact on CKD development are not well-defined. By analyzing data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) spanning 2011 to 2018, we sought to elucidate the association between weight trajectories and CKD risk. Patients and Methods We included participants aged ≥40 years, employing body mass index (BMI) measurements at three life stages-baseline, age 25, and a decade preceding baseline-to categorize weight change patterns. Logistic regression was employed to evaluate the association of these patterns with CKD onset, adjusting for potential confounders. Results The study encompassed 12,284 participants, with 2893 individuals diagnosed with CKD. Transitioning from normal weight to obesity and staying obese throughout adulthood were found to increase the risk of developing CKD. These associations remained consistent after adjusting for covariates but were statistically insignificant after adjusting for comorbidities. Notably, individuals transitioning from obesity to normal weight from age 25 to baseline and from 10 years before baseline to baseline demonstrated significant correlations with CKD but not between age 25 and 10 years before baseline. Conclusion Obesity, weight gain throughout adulthood, and weight loss in middle-to-late adulthood are associated with an increased risk of CKD. This emphasizes the importance of long-term weight change patterns and maintaining a healthy weight throughout adulthood.

All-Cause Standardized Mortality Ratio in Hemodialysis and Peritoneal Dialysis Patients: A Nationwide Population-Based Cohort Study. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2023; 20:2347. [PMID: 36767713 PMCID: PMC9915131 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph20032347] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/12/2022] [Revised: 01/21/2023] [Accepted: 01/22/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) are at a higher mortality risk compared with the general population. Previous studies have described a relationship between mortality and patients with ESRD, but the data on standardized mortality ratio (SMR) corresponding to different causes of death in patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD) are limited. This study was designed as a nationwide population-based retrospective cohort study. Incident dialysis patients between January 2000 and December 2015 in Taiwan were included. Using data acquired from the Taiwan Death Registry, SMR values were calculated and compared with the overall survival. The results showed there were a total of 128,966 patients enrolled, including 117,376 incident HD patients and 11,590 incident PD patients. It was found that 75,297 patients (58.4%) died during the period of 2000-2017. The overall SMR was 5.21. The neoplasms SMR was 2.11; the endocrine, nutritional, metabolic, and immunity disorders SMR was 13.53; the circulatory system SMR was 4.31; the respiratory system SMR was 2.59; the digestive system SMR was 6.1; and the genitourinary system SMR was 27.22. Therefore, more attention should be paid to these diseases in clinical care.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Observations that peritoneal dialysis (PD) may be an effective, lower-cost alternative to hemodialysis for the treatment of ESKD have led to policies encouraging PD and subsequent increases in its use in the United States. METHODS In a retrospective cohort analysis of Medicare beneficiaries who started dialysis between 2008 and 2015, we ascertained average annual expenditures (for up to 3 years after initiation of dialysis) for patients ≥67 years receiving in-center hemodialysis or PD. We also determined whether differences in Medicare expenditures across dialysis modalities persisted as more patients were placed on PD. We used propensity scores to match 8305 patients initiating PD with 8305 similar patients initiating hemodialysis. RESULTS Overall average expenditures were US$108,656 (2017) for hemodialysis and US$91,716 for PD (proportionate difference, 1.11; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.09 to 1.13). This difference did not change over time (P for time interaction term=0.14). Hemodialysis had higher estimated intravenous (iv) dialysis drug costs (1.69; 95% CI, 1.64 to 1.73), rehabilitation expenditures (1.35; 95% CI, 1.26 to 1.45), and other nondialysis expenditures (1.34; 95% CI, 1.30 to 1.37). Over time, initial differences in total dialysis expenditures disappeared and differences in iv dialysis drug utilization narrowed as nondialysis expenditures diverged. Estimated iv drug costs declined by US$2900 per patient-year in hemodialysis between 2008 and 2014 versus US$900 per patient-year in PD. CONCLUSIONS From the perspective of the Medicare program, savings associated with PD in patients ≥67 years have remained unchanged, despite rapid growth in the use of this dialysis modality. Total dialysis expenditures for the two modalities converged over time, whereas nondialysis expenditures diverged.

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.

Abstract
Increasing population obesity and associated metabolic consequences has led to increased number of obese patients with chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal disease. While obesity is associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, obese dialysis patients present a seeming paradox for survival benefit, given other acute intervening illnesses for those on dialysis with loss of lean body mass overtime. Challenges remain in providing adequate renal replacement options and therapy for this growing segment of obese patients on dialysis which are discussed in this article.

Abstract
The prevalence of obesity in peritoneal dialysis (PD) populations has risen dramatically since the mid-1980s. This epidemic has been driven by the increased prevalence of obesity in the general population, the increased risk of progression of chronic kidney disease to end-stage renal failure (ESRF) in obese subjects, the reduced probability of listing obese dialysis patients for renal transplantation, a paradoxical enhanced survival in at least some obese populations on dialysis as compared with non-obese ESRF patients, and a possible adipogenic effect of excessive peritoneal glucose absorption in PD. Although obesity has consistently been associated with improved outcomes in hemodialysis, conflicting results have been seen in PD. In general, an elevated body mass index (BMI) has been associated with a neutral or deleterious impact on PD outcomes, and the relationship appears to be explained predominantly by fat mass. Risk is also elevated in patients with a low BMI, such that the “optimal BMI” appears to lie between 20 kg/m2 and 25 kg/m2. The mechanisms underpinning the harmful effect of obesity appear to include increased peritonitis rate, proinflammatory effects, and a more rapid decline of residual renal function in obese patients. No proof exists that weight reduction engenders an improvement in outcome in PD patients, but the available studies suggest that cautious weight reduction is advisable. A few studies have demonstrated that clinically important and sustained weight reduction can be successfully achieved through a combination of individual meal plans, regular exercise, and substitution of icodextrin for dextrose in the once-daily long dwell.

Abstract
Penetration of peritoneal dialysis (PD) varies tremendously across the world. It ranges from about 80% in Hong Kong and Mexico to just a few percentage points in the United States, Japan, and Germany. While PD is growing in China, India, and some Eastern European and South American countries, it is declining in many European and North American countries. In terms of outcomes, the survival of PD patients is generally comparable to that of hemodialysis (HD) patients and better than that of HD patients during the first few years on dialysis. According to the U.S. Renal Data System, survival of patients on PD has been improving faster than that of patients on HD. In terms of cost, PD is usually cheaper than HD. Hence, declining PD utilization is unjustified. Work is required to identify and overcome negative factors such as physician bias, unfair medical reimbursement systems, and poor patient education.

Abstract
Background Inflammation-induced podocyte apoptosis plays an important role in kidney injury during diabetic nephropathy (DN). Hirudin (HIR), a natural compound extracted from leeches, can inhibit inflammation. However, whether HIR can protect the kidneys against inflammation during DN is unknown. In the present study, we aimed to study the effects of HIR on kidney damage in a DN rat model and explore its anti-inflammatory properties. Methods A streptozotocin-induced DN rat model was generated, and HIR was administered subcutaneously. Immortal podocytes and primary peritoneal macrophages were used for vitro studies. Hematoxylin and eosin staining was used to evaluate renal pathological changes; quantitative polymerase chain reaction and immunoblotting were used to detect gene expression; and TUNEL staining was used to detect apoptotic cells. Results Our results showed that HIR protected against renal injury, as indicated by kidney weight/body weight, serum creatinine, renal pathological changes, blood urea nitrogen, and detection of urine proteins. Notably, HIR treatment reduced macrophage infiltration, pro-inflammatory cytokine expression, and podocyte apoptosis in the kidney tissues of DN rats. In vitro, high glucose (HG) induced the activation of M1 macrophages, which was accompanied by increased podocyte apoptosis. HIR could decrease HG-induced podocyte apoptosis and suppress pro-inflammatory cytokine expression in podocytes in vitro. This was achieved via inhibition of p38 MAPK/NF-κB activation in renal tissues and podocytes. Conclusion HIR could inhibit inflammation via the p38 MAPK/NF-κB pathway, prevent podocyte apoptosis, and protect against kidney damage in a DN rat model.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Kidney is the most common location of microangiopathy in diabetic patients, and we designed this study to investigate the effects of hirudin on renal microangiopathy in STZ-induced diabetes rats and in vitro. METHODS We established a diabetes model by intraperitoneal injection of STZ and administered hirudin daily by subcutaneous injection. HE staining was used to assess kidney pathological changes. Western blot and immunochemistry was used to detect the protein expression. Glomerular endothelial cells (GEC) in normal rats were assessed by cell scratch test for migration ability and tubule formation experiment for angiogenesis ability. RESULTS Compared with DN rats without any treatment, the serum creatinine, serum Cys C, 24-hour urine protein of DN rats with hirudin treatment were significantly decrease, the kidney/body weight and glomerular area of DN rats with hirudin treatment were all significantly decrease, and also significant improvement in renal pathology revealed by HE staining in DN rats after treating with hirudin. Moreover, we also found that hirudin coun not only significantly increase the prothrombin time and aivated partial thromboplastin time in DN rats, but also significantly decrease the expression of VEGF and TM-1 protein in kidney tissues of DN rats. In vitro, we found that high glucose could promote the migration and angiogensis of GEC, and significantly increased the expression of VEGF and Ang protein, but significantly decreased the expression of THBS1 and Arg1 protein. More importantly was that hirudin could inhibit the migration and angiogensis of GEC, and reversed HG-induced the expression of VEGF, Ang, THBS1 and Arg1 protein in GEC. In addition, we also found that hirudin could not only decrease HG-enhanced the activity of RhoA in GEC, but also decrease HG-enhanced the expression of p-MYPT1/MYPT1, p-p38/p38 protein in GEC. CONCLUSION Hirudin reduces nephropathy microangiopathy in STZ-induced diabetes, and might be related to hirudin inhibiting glomerular endothelial cell migration and angiogenesis through Rho-kinase and subsequent p38MAPK/NF-kB signaling pathway.

Abstract
Comorbid conditions are highly prevalent in dialysis patients and are significant predictors of mortality and other adverse outcomes. Accordingly, it is important to account for differences in comorbid illness burden among groups of dialysis patients being compared. At present, there is no consensus on what conditions matter, how each should be defined, and what weights each carries when defining an individual's risk or case-mix severity. A number of comorbidity instruments, generic or disease specific, have been employed in dialysis populations. They differ by the representation and definition of conditions as well as instrument scoring. No instrument has been found to be superior to another in terms of predictive accuracy for mortality, and accuracy across the board is low. Further studies are needed to determine whether improvements would be found with the use of more specifically defined items and through assignment of item weights based on relationships for outcomes specifically in a dialysis population. The roles of other factors in risk prediction, such as markers of nutritional status, inflammation, or other physiological parameters, relative to comorbid conditions also need to be defined. Outcomes other than mortality are likely to identify different factors and/or different relationships than those noted for mortality, which also require study. Comorbidity is important for risk adjusting comparative analyses in nonrandomized trials and quality of care assessments and may, in future, influence payment for dialysis services. Efforts to improve the management of comorbid illnesses are needed. Comorbid conditions must be documented accurately and uniformly in all dialysis patients to enable these applications.

Abstract
Background Using 24-hour urinary creatinine excretion as a measure of muscle mass, we examined whether body composition influences the survival of incident peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. We hypothesized that patients with high body mass index (BMI) and low muscle mass might be considered to have high levels of body fat. Methods Using serum creatinines and creatinine clearances reported on Medical Evidence Form 2728, 24-hour urinary creatinine was calculated in 10140 incident PD patients with normal (18.5 – 24.9 kg/m2) or high (≥25 kg/m2) BMI. Patients were classified as low and normal/high muscle mass groups based on the 25th percentile of 24-hour urinary creatinine (0.64 g/day). Results In multivariable parametric survival models, compared to the normal BMI–normal/high muscle mass patients, high BMI–normal/high muscle mass patients had lower hazard of all-cause [hazard ratio (HR) 0.90, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.83 – 0.97] and cardiovascular (HR 0.88, 95% CI 0.79 – 0.97) death; high BMI patients with low muscle mass had higher hazard of all-cause (HR 1.29, 95% CI 1.17 – 1.42) and cardiovascular (HR 1.21, 95% CI 1.06 – 1.39) death. Conclusion Both body size and body composition influence survival of incident PD patients. As incident PD patients with high BMI and normal or high muscle mass have the best survival, PD patients should be encouraged to gain muscle mass rather than fat mass.

Abstract
Background The impact of small solute clearance on patient survival in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) is not yet solidified. Previously, we demonstrated that CAPD using small volume (6 L) daily exchanges provides adequate dialysis for most Asian patients. Methods We conducted a prospective, long-term observational study to determine the optimal dialysis adequacy that may provide better patient survival for Asian patients who receive small-volume CAPD. We recruited 294 patients. The initial CAPD regime was 3 x 2-L exchanges daily. The same regime was maintained unless there was significant loss of ultrafiltration or fluid retention despite the use of hypertonic dialysate. Results Median study period was 38.9 (range 5 – 76.5) months, with 81% and 27% of patients remaining in the study at 24 and 48 months respectively. The overall survival rates at 2 and 4 years were 94.0% and 74.8% respectively. Our long-term data revealed that survival rate was related to Kt/V values. Survival rates were significantly higher for patients with total Kt/V > 2.0 than for patients with Kt/V < 1.7 ( p = 0.02). The former group had lower body mass index and higher residual renal function and peritoneal Kt/V than the latter group. On analysis using Cox proportional hazards regression models, cardiovascular disease (CVD), lower urine volume, and higher body mass index were independent predictors of mortality. Patients with higher renal Kt/V had a significantly lower risk of mortality (RR = 0.018, p = 0.01) after adjusting for the effects of CVD and diabetes mellitus. Conclusion Our data recommend that 1.7 be the minimal target for total Kt/V in patients on long-term CAPD. Patients with high body mass index, low residual urine volume, and significant CVD need close monitoring.

Abstract
The outcome of older and especially of female diabetic patients appears to be worse on peritoneal dialysis (PD) than on hemodialysis (HD). This opinion is based mostly on data coming from the USA, whereas data from other regions seem to give a more balanced picture. The questions arise whether indeed outcome is worse in this patient group, and what might be the underlying reasons for this; further research to unravel this phenomenon is warranted. This review proposes several suggestions for further exploration. The observed differences in outcome might be attributable to differences in treatment practices and experience with PD versus HD. As cardiovascular mortality is a major killer in end-stage renal disease patients, differences in fluid homeostasis and how it is achieved are potential explanations. Fluid balance is potentially more difficult to obtain in PD patients, especially as in the past it was spuriously suggested that fluid restriction was less important in PD patients. PD and HD might also have different impacts on factors related to inflammation, insulin resistance, and hormone balance. The adipocytokine network is of special interest in this respect. It is also possible that bias introduced by the way we measure body composition might have a more negative impact on PD than on HD patients. Finally, it still is not fully established that if diabetic patients are treated appropriately, their outcome on PD is worse than that on HD; further observational trials in this respect are needed. All these topics require further clarification and investigation.

Abstract
Background:Significant body fat accumulation is an inevitable but potentially serious problem in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. Whether excessive fat gain predicts long-term outcomes in these patients remains unknown.Methods:In this prospective cohort study (n = 297), the associations of excessive fat accumulation with patient survival and PD failure rate were examined. Based on dialysis duration at the time of study enrollment, patients were divided into short- (< 2 years) and long-term (> 2 years) groups. Body weight (BW) and body composition were measured twice, 12.8 ± 4.6 months apart. Excessive fat accumulation was defined as a 1-year change in the percentage of body fat (ΔPBF) over the highest quartile (5.0% for men, 5.4% for women).Results:Substantial 1-year increases in BW and PBF were observed only in the short-term group (p < 0.001 and p = 0.027, respectively); changes were insignificant in the long-term group. In the short-term group, the ΔPBF was associated closely with unfavorable baseline metabolic profiles, including old age, diabetes, obesity, elevated blood pressure, and edema. Accordingly, the mortality rate was significantly higher in patients with, than in those without, excessive fat accumulation (hazard ratio [HR] 3.26, 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.05 - 10.26). It also increased the incident risk of PD failure 2.22-fold (95% CI, 1.08 - 4.54), even after adjustment for diabetes, obesity, and fluid status. In the long-term group, fat gain had no impact on long-term prognosis.Conclusions:Excessive fat accumulation during the early period of PD was associated with baseline unhealthy metabolic profiles, a higher mortality rate, and a higher PD failure rate, independent of baseline obesity and fluid status.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients receiving dialysis are thought to have increased energy needs due to stress from the dialysis process or uraemic toxins. However, certain conditions may induce hypometabolic states potentially leading to unwanted weight gains when increased calorie intake is recommended. OBJECTIVES Since there is conflicting research, this study aims to assess total energy expenditure (TEE) of patients receiving dialysis through analysis of resting energy expenditure (REE) and physical activity levels. DESIGN Comprehensive review of the current literature on REE and physical activity levels. METHODS Two electronic databases (PubMed and CINAHL) were searched using keywords to find papers published within the last 10 years for physical activity studies and within the last five years for REE. INCLUSION CRITERIA Adults undergoing long-term dialysis treatments who do not have comorbidities that influence energy expenditure such as inflammation, hyperthyroidism or cancers. Participants were also required to ambulate without assistance. RESULTS Only seven of the 325 studies found were included in this review. Most studies were controlled trials with one being a prospective study. Patients receiving dialysis had rest energy expenditures comparable to healthy adults. There was not a consensus between studies as to which predictive energy equation produced accurate energy recommendations. Overall, patients receiving dialysis were significantly less active compared with healthy adults and this related to muscle mass. CONCLUSION Patients receiving dialysis tend to be sedentary or lightly active and do not have increased energy expenditure compared with healthy adults. Therefore, stable patients should not be prescribed increased calorie intake.

Abstract
While obesity is associated with a variety of complications including diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease and premature death, observational studies have also found that obesity and increasing body mass index (BMI) can be linked with improved survival in certain patient populations, including those with conditions marked by protein-energy wasting and dysmetabolism that ultimately lead to cachexia. The latter observations have been reported in various clinical settings including end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and have been described as the "obesity paradox" or "reverse epidemiology", engendering controversy. While some have attributed the obesity paradox to residual confounding in an effort to "debunk" these observations, recent experimental discoveries provide biologically plausible mechanisms in which higher BMI can be linked to longevity in certain groups of patients. In addition, sophisticated epidemiologic methods that extensively adjusted for confounding have found that the obesity paradox remains robust in ESRD. Furthermore, novel hypotheses suggest that weight loss and cachexia can be linked to adverse outcomes including cardiomyopathy, arrhythmias, sudden death and poor outcomes. Therefore, the survival benefit observed in obese ESRD patients can at least partly be derived from mechanisms that protect against inefficient energy utilization, cachexia and protein-energy wasting. Given that in ESRD patients, treatment of traditional risk factors has failed to alter outcomes, detailed translational studies of the obesity paradox may help identify innovative pathways that can be targeted to improve survival. We have reviewed recent clinical evidence detailing the association of BMI with outcomes in patients with chronic kidney disease, including ESRD, and discuss potential mechanisms underlying the obesity paradox with potential for clinical applicability.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevalence of severe obesity, often considered a contraindication to peritoneal dialysis (PD), has increased over time. However, mortality has decreased more rapidly in the PD population than the hemodialysis (HD) population in the United States. The association between obesity and clinical outcomes among patients with end-stage kidney disease remains unclear in the current era. STUDY DESIGN Historical cohort study. SETTING & PARTICIPANTS 15,573 incident PD patients from a large US dialysis organization (2007-2011). PREDICTOR Body mass index (BMI). OUTCOMES Modality longevity, residual renal creatinine clearance, peritonitis, and survival. RESULTS Higher BMI was significantly associated with shorter time to transfer to HD therapy (P for trend < 0.001), longer time to kidney transplantation (P for trend < 0.001), and, with borderline significance, more frequent peritonitis-related hospitalization (P for trend = 0.05). Compared with lean patients, obese patients had faster declines in residual kidney function (P for trend < 0.001) and consistently achieved lower total Kt/V over time (P for trend < 0.001) despite greater increases in dialysis Kt/V (P for trend < 0.001). There was a U-shaped association between BMI and mortality, with the greatest survival associated with the BMI range of 30 to < 35kg/m2 in the case-mix adjusted model. Compared with matched HD patients, PD patients had lower mortality in the BMI categories of < 25 and 25 to < 35kg/m2 and had equivalent survival in the BMI category ≥ 35kg/m2 (P for interaction = 0.001 [vs < 25 kg/m2]). This attenuation in survival difference among patients with severe obesity was observed only in patients with diabetes, but not those without diabetes. LIMITATIONS Inability to evaluate causal associations. Potential indication bias. CONCLUSIONS Whereas obese PD patients had higher risk for complications than nonobese PD patients, their survival was no worse than matched HD patients.

Abstract
This article provides a dose-response meta-analysis to evaluate the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and all-cause and disease-specific mortality in chronic kidney disease (CKD) by pooling together early stage, hemodialysis, and peritoneal dialysis patients. We evaluated eligible studies that published between 1966 and December 2014 by searching in PubMed, Object View and Interaction Design (OVID), and the Scopus databases. We used random-effects generalized least squares spline models for trend estimation to derive pooled dose-response estimates. Nonlinear associations of BMI with all-cause mortality were observed (P-nonlinearity < .0001), with an increased rate of mortality with BMIs > 30 kg/m2 in all stages of CKD together. However, reanalysis of data separately by stage of CKD (hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis) showed that the risk of all-cause mortality decreased with a steep slope in individuals with BMIs > 30 kg/m2. This meta-analysis indicates that higher BMI has protective effects with respect to all-cause mortality in patients with both type of dialysis.

Abstract
This paper updates a previous 'Call to Action' paper (Nephrology 2011; 16: 19-29) that reviewed key outcome data for Australian and New Zealand peritoneal dialysis patients and made recommendations to improve care. Since its publication, peritonitis rates have improved significantly, although they have plateaued more recently. Peritoneal dialysis patient and technique survival in Australian and New Zealand have also improved, with a reduction in the proportion of technique failures attributed to 'social reasons'. Despite these improvements, technique survival rates overall remain lower than in many other parts of the world. This update includes additional practical recommendations based on published evidence and emerging initiatives to further improve outcomes.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Obesity is a major risk factor for the development of de novo chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, once kidney disease is acquired, obesity is paradoxically linked with greater survival, especially in those with advanced CKD. This review examines current evidence for obesity as a risk factor for incident CKD, studies of obesity and mortality across various CKD populations, and potential mechanisms underlying the 'obesity paradox' in kidney disease. RECENT FINDINGS Large cohort studies show that overweight body habitus, especially in the context of metabolic syndrome, is associated with higher risk of incident CKD. Emerging data also suggest weight-loss interventions retard or reverse early CKD progression, whereas in hemodialysis patients weight-loss paradoxically heralds poor outcomes. Although the pathogenesis of CKD in obesity remains unclear, studies indicate that excess body fat leads to kidney disease via indirect and direct mechanisms. Meta-analyses suggest that overweight and obese BMI ranges are counterintuitively associated with lower mortality in advanced predialysis and dialysis-dependent CKD patients, whereas a pooled analysis observed that higher pretransplantation BMI was associated with higher mortality in kidney transplantation recipients. SUMMARY In addition to its role as a risk factor for de novo CKD, there appears to be a consistent association between obesity and lower mortality in those with established CKD, particularly among hemodialysis patients, suggesting that the reverse epidemiology of obesity is biologically plausible.

Perit Dial Int 2017; 37:85-93. [PMID: 27680757 PMCID: PMC5448711 DOI: 10.3747/pdi.2015.00227] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/10/2015] [Accepted: 08/03/2016] [Indexed: 11/15/2022] Open
Abstract
♦ BACKGROUND: Total body water (V) is an imprecise metric for normalization of dialytic urea clearance (Kt). This poses a risk of early mortality/technique failure (TF). We examined differences in the distribution of peritoneal Kt/V when V was calculated with actual weight (AW), ideal weight (IW), and adjusted weight (ADW). We also examined the associations of these Kt/V measurements, Kt/body surface area (BSA), and non-normalized Kt with mortality and TF. ♦ METHODS: This is a retrospective cohort study of 534 incident peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients from the Dialysis Morbidity and Mortality Study Wave 2 linked with United States Renal Data System through 2010. Using Cox-proportional hazard models, we examined the relationship of several normalization strategies for peritoneal urea clearance, including Kt/VAW, Kt/VIW, Kt/VADW, Kt/BSA, and non-normalized Kt, with the outcomes of mortality and TF. Harrell's c-statistics were used to assess the relative predictive ability of clearance metrics for mortality and TF. The distributions of Kt/VAW, KT/VIW, and KT/VADW were compared within and between body mass index (BMI) strata. ♦ RESULTS: Median patient age: 59 (54% male; 72% white; 91% continuous ambulatory PD [CAPD]). Median 24-hour urine volume: 700 mL; median estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) at initiation: 7.15 mL/min/1.73 m2. Technique failure and transplant-censored mortality at 5 years: 37%. Death and transplant-censored TF at 5 years: 60%. There were no significant differences in initial eGFR and 24-hour urine volume across BMI strata. There were statistically significant differences in each Kt/V calculation within the underweight, overweight, and obese strata. After adjustment, there were no significant differences in the hazard ratios (HRs) for TF/mortality for each clearance calculation. Harrell's c-statistics for mortality for each clearance calculation were 0.78, and for TF, 0.60 - 0.61. ♦ CONCLUSIONS: Peritoneal urea clearances are sensitive to subtle changes in the estimation of V. However, there were no detectable significant associations of Kt/VAW, Kt/VIW, Kt/VADW, Kt/BSA, or Kt with TF or mortality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Few studies have evaluated vascular access use after transition from peritoneal dialysis to hemodialysis. Our study characterizes vascular access use after switch to hemodialysis and its effect on patient mortality and evaluates whether a peritonitis event preceding the switch was associated with the timing of permanent vascular access placement and use. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS The US Renal Data System data were used to evaluate the establishment of a permanent vascular access in 1165 incident Medicare-insured adult patients on dialysis who initiated peritoneal dialysis between July 1, 2010 and June 30, 2011 and switched to hemodialysis within 1 year. RESULTS The proportions of patients using a hemodialysis catheter were 85% (744 of 879), 76% (513 of 671), and 51% (298 of 582) at 30, 90, and 180 days, respectively, after the switch from peritoneal dialysis to hemodialysis. Patients who switched from peritoneal dialysis to hemodialysis with a previous peritonitis episode were more likely to dialyze with a catheter at 30 days (90% [379 of 421] versus 80% [365 of 458]; P=0.03), 90 days (82% [275 of 334] versus 71% [238 of 337]; P=0.03), and 180 days (57% [166 of 289] versus 45% [132 of 293]; P=0.04) after the switch and less likely to dialyze with an arteriovenous fistula at 30 days (8% [32 of 421] versus 16% [73 of 458]; P=0.01), 90 days (13% [42 of 334] versus 23% [76 of 337]; P=0.03), and 180 days (31% [91 of 289] versus 43% [126 of 293]; P=0.04). Patients using a permanent vascular access 180 days after switching from peritoneal dialysis to hemodialysis had better adjusted survival during the ensuing year than those using a catheter (hazard ratio, 0.66; 95% confidence interval, 0.44 to 1.00; P=0.05). CONCLUSIONS Among patients who switch from peritoneal dialysis to hemodialysis, prior peritonitis is associated with a higher rate of persistent hemodialysis catheter use, which in turn, is associated with lower patient survival. Studies addressing vascular access planning and implementation are needed in this group of patients.

Abstract
Obesity is a chronic disease that is increasingly prevalent around the world and is a well-recognized risk factor for type 2 diabetes and hypertension, leading causes of end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The obese diabetic patient with ESRD is a challenge for the nephrologist with regard to the type of renal replacement therapy that should be suggested and offered to the patient. There is no evidence that either peritoneal dialysis or hemodialysis is contraindicated in obese ESRD patients. In the literature, we can find a discrepancy in the impact of obesity on mortality among hemodialysis vs. peritoneal dialysis patients. Several studies in hemodialysis patients suggest that a higher BMI confers a survival advantage - the so-called "reverse epidemiology". In contrast, the literature among obese peritoneal dialysis patients is inconsistent, with various studies reporting an increased risk of death, no difference, or a decreased risk of death. Many of these studies only spanned across a few years, and this is probably too short of a time frame for a realistic assessment of obesity's impact on mortality in ESRD patients. The decision for dialysis modality in an obese diabetic patient with ESRD should be individualized. According to the results of published studies, we cannot suggest PD or HD as a better solution for all obese diabetic patients. The obese patient should be educated about all their dialysis options, including home dialysis therapies. In this review, the available literature related to the dialysis modality in obese patients with diabetes and ESRD was reviewed.

Abstract
UNLABELLED ♦ BACKGROUND Although higher body mass index (BMI) is associated with better outcomes in hemodialysis patients, the relationship in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients is less clear. We aimed to synthesize the results from all large and high-quality studies to examine whether underweight, overweight, or obesity is associated with any significantly different risk of death in peritoneal dialysis patients. ♦ METHODS We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, CINAHL, and Cochrane CENTRAL, and screened 7,123 retrieved studies for inclusion. Two investigators independently selected the studies using predefined criteria and assessed each study's quality using the Newcastle-Ottawa Quality Assessment Scale. We meta-analyzed the results of the largest studies with no overlap in their data sources. ♦ RESULTS We included 9 studies (n = 156,562) in the systematic review and 4 studies in the meta-analyses. When examined without stratifying studies by follow-up duration, the results of the studies were inconsistent. Hence, we pooled the study results stratified based upon their follow-up durations, as suggested by a large study, and observed that being underweight was associated with higher 1-year mortality but had no significant association with 2- and 3- to 5-year mortalities. In contrast, being overweight or obese was associated with lower 1-year mortality but it had no significant association with 2-, and 3- to 5-year mortalities. ♦ CONCLUSION Over the short-term, being underweight was associated with higher mortality and being overweight or obese was associated with lower mortality. The associations of body mass with mortality were not significant over the long-term.

Abstract
Although high body mass index (BMI) appears to confer a survival advantage in hemodialysis patients, the association of BMI with mortality in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients is uncertain. We enrolled incident CAPD patients and BMI was categorized according to World Health Organization classification for Asian population. BMI at baseline and one year after the initiation of peritoneal dialysis (PD) treatment was assessed to calculate the BMI change (∆BMI). Patients were split into four categories according quartiles of ∆BMI. Kaplan-Meier method and Cox regression proportional hazard analysis were performed to assess the association of BMI on outcomes. A total of 1263 CAPD patients were included, with a mean age of 47.8 ± 15.0 years, a mean BMI of 21.58 ± 3.13 kg/m². During a median follow-up of 25.3 months, obesity was associated with increased risk for cardiovascular diseases (CVD) death (adjusted hazard ratio (AHR) 2.01; 95% CI 1.14, 3.54), but not all-cause mortality. Additionally, patients with more BMI decline (>0.80%) during the first year after CAPD initiation had an elevated risk for both all-cause (AHR: 2.21, 95% CI 1.23-3.95) and CVD mortality (AHR 2.31, 95% CI 1.11, 4.84), which was independent of baseline BMI values.

Abstract
The association of adult height with mortality has been extensively investigated in the general population, but little is known about this relationship among dialysis patients. We explored the relationship between height and mortality in a retrospective cohort study of 1,171,842 adults who began dialysis in the United States from 1995 to 2008 and were followed until December 31, 2010. We evaluated height-mortality associations in sex-specific quintiles of increasing height (Q1-Q5) using multivariable Cox regression models adjusted for demographics, comorbid conditions, lifestyle and disability indicators, socioeconomic status, and body weight. For men, compared with the referent quintile (Q1 <167 cm), successive height quintiles had significantly increased hazard ratios (HRs [95% confidence interval]) for mortality: 1.04 (1.02-1.06), 1.08 (1.06-1.10), 1.12 (1.11-1.14), and 1.18 (1.16-1.20) for Q2-Q5, respectively. For women (referent Q1 <155 cm), HRs for mortality were 1.00 (0.99-1.02), 1.05 (1.03-1.06), 1.05 (1.03-1.07), and 1.08 (1.06-1.10) for Q2-Q5, respectively. However, stratification by race showed the pattern of association differed significantly by race (P<0.001 for interaction). For black men, unlike other race groups, height only associated with mortality in Q5, with an HR of 1.06 (1.02-1.09). For black women, HRs for mortality were 0.94 (0.91-0.97), 0.98 (0.95-1.02), 0.96 (0.93-0.99), and 0.99 (0.96-1.02) for Q2-Q5, respectively. These results indicate tallness is associated with higher mortality risks for adults starting dialysis, but this association did not extend to black patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Home dialysis is often recognized as a first-choice therapy for patients initiating dialysis. However, studies comparing clinical outcomes between peritoneal dialysis and home hemodialysis have been very limited. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS This Australia and New Zealand Dialysis and Transplantation Registry study assessed all Australian and New Zealand adult patients receiving home dialysis on day 90 after initiation of RRT between 2000 and 2012. The primary outcome was overall survival. The secondary outcomes were on-treatment survival, patient and technique survival, and death-censored technique survival. All results were adjusted with three prespecified models: multivariable Cox proportional hazards model (main model), propensity score quintile-stratified model, and propensity score-matched model. RESULTS The study included 10,710 patients on incident peritoneal dialysis and 706 patients on incident home hemodialysis. Treatment with home hemodialysis was associated with better patient survival than treatment with peritoneal dialysis (5-year survival: 85% versus 44%, respectively; log-rank P<0.001). Using multivariable Cox proportional hazards analysis, home hemodialysis was associated with superior patient survival (hazard ratio for overall death, 0.47; 95% confidence interval, 0.38 to 0.59) as well as better on-treatment survival (hazard ratio for on-treatment death, 0.34; 95% confidence interval, 0.26 to 0.45), composite patient and technique survival (hazard ratio for death or technique failure, 0.34; 95% confidence interval, 0.29 to 0.40), and death-censored technique survival (hazard ratio for technique failure, 0.34; 95% confidence interval, 0.28 to 0.41). Similar results were obtained with the propensity score models as well as sensitivity analyses using competing risks models and different definitions for technique failure and lag period after modality switch, during which events were attributed to the initial modality. CONCLUSIONS Home hemodialysis was associated with superior patient and technique survival compared with peritoneal dialysis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD) are important renal replacement treatments in end stage renal disease (ESRD). There is paucity of data comparing outcomes and quality of life (QOL) between the two modalities in Indian scenario. MATERIALS AND METHODS We followed 60 End stage renal disease patients (30 CAPD and 30 Maintenance hemodialysis) for a period of one year. Patients were analysed and compared for complications, physical quality of life and psychological well being with a two part self reported questionnaire at baseline and subsequently at six and twelve months. For the physical component appropriate sections of the McMaster Health Index Questionnaire (MHIQ) and for psychological component Psychological General Well-Being Index (PGWB) developed by Dupey was applied. RESULTS The number of males and females in both groups were comparable (p-value > 0.05).The prevalence of diabetes mellitus, coronary artery disease, obesity and ischaemic heart disease was comparable in both groups (p-value>0.05). Significantly higher mortality was observed in patients undergoing HD (20% vs 0 %, p-value <0.05) at the end of study. At the end of study, 16.6% of patients undergoing HD were found to be anti HCV positive as compared to 3.33% in CAPD. Six episodes of CAPD peritonitis were observed (0.2 episodes per catheter year). Significantly higher number of CAPD patients had negative responses between 2-4 at baseline and subsequently on follow ups in Part A of QOL questionnaire(86.7 vs 23.3 % at baseline, 80 vs 26.7% at 6 months, 80 vs16.7 % at 12 months; p <0.05 ). Mean score in Part B of questionnaire was significantly higher in CAPD patients at baseline and at all follow ups (66.7±11 vs 50.1±17 at baseline, 66.7±12.1 vs 53.32±16.3 at 6 months, 65.3±9.5 vs 48.8±16.7 at 12 months , p <0.05) . CONCLUSION CAPD patients have significantly better quality of life in physical as well as psychological aspects and have significantly lower mortality when compared with hemodialysis patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To study the body mass index (BMI) trajectory in patients with incident end-stage kidney disease and its association with all-cause mortality. METHODS This longitudinal cohort study included 17022 adult patients commencing hemodialysis [HD] (n = 10860) or peritoneal dialysis [PD] (n = 6162) between 2001 and 2008 and had ≥6-month follow-up and ≥2 weight measurements, using the Australia and New Zealand Dialysis and Transplant Registry data. The association of time-varying BMI with all-cause mortality was explored using multivariate Cox regression models. RESULTS The median follow-up was 2.3 years. There was a non-linear change in the mean BMI (kg/m2) over time, with an initial decrease from 27.6 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 27.5, 27.7) to 26.7 (95% CI: 26.6, 26.9) at 3-month, followed by increments to 27.1 (95% CI: 27, 27.2) at 1-year and 27.2 (95% CI: 26.8, 27.1) at 3-year, and a gradual decrease subsequently. The BMI trajectory was significantly lower in HD patients who died than those who survived, although this pattern was not observed in PD patients. Compared to the reference time-varying BMI category of 25.1-28 kg/m2, the mortality risks of both HD and PD patients were greater in all categories of time-varying BMI <25 kg/m2. The mortality risks were significantly lower in all categories of time-varying BMI >28.1 kg/m2 among HD patients, but only in the category 28.1-31 kg/m2 among PD patients. CONCLUSIONS BMI changed over time in a non-linear fashion in incident dialysis patients. Time-varying measures of BMI were significantly associated with mortality risk in both HD and PD patients.

Abstract
We propose a new weighted hurdle regression method for modeling count data, with particular interest in modeling cardiovascular events in patients on dialysis. Cardiovascular disease remains one of the leading causes of hospitalization and death in this population. Our aim is to jointly model the relationship/association between covariates and (i) the probability of cardiovascular events, a binary process, and (ii) the rate of events once the realization is positive-when the 'hurdle' is crossed-using a zero-truncated Poisson distribution. When the observation period or follow-up time, from the start of dialysis, varies among individuals, the estimated probability of positive cardiovascular events during the study period will be biased. Furthermore, when the model contains covariates, then the estimated relationship between the covariates and the probability of cardiovascular events will also be biased. These challenges are addressed with the proposed weighted hurdle regression method. Estimation for the weighted hurdle regression model is a weighted likelihood approach, where standard maximum likelihood estimation can be utilized. The method is illustrated with data from the United States Renal Data System. Simulation studies show the ability of proposed method to successfully adjust for differential follow-up times and incorporate the effects of covariates in the weighting.

Abstract
Background New Zealand (NZ) has a high prevalence of both peritoneal dialysis (PD) and home haemodialysis (HD) relative to other countries, and probably less selection bias. We aimed to determine if home dialysis associates with better survival than facility HD by simultaneous comparisons of the three modalities. Methods We analysed survival by time-varying dialysis modality in New Zealanders over a 15-year period to 31-Dec-2011, adjusting for patient co-morbidity by Cox proportional hazards multivariate regression. Results We modelled 6,419 patients with 3,254 deaths over 20,042 patient-years of follow-up. Patients treated with PD and facility HD are similar; those on home HD are younger and healthier. Compared to facility HD, home dialysis (as a unified category) associates with an overall 13% lower mortality risk. Home HD associates with a 52% lower mortality risk. PD associates with a 20% lower mortality risk in the early period (<3 years) that is offset by a 33% greater mortality risk in the late period (>3 years), with no overall net effect. There was effect modification and less observable benefit associated with PD in those with diabetes mellitus, co-morbidity, and in NZ Maori and Pacific People. There was no effect modification by age or by era. Conclusion Our study supports the culture of home dialysis in NZ, and suggests that the extent and duration of survival benefit associated with early PD may be greater than appreciated. We are planning further analyses to exclude residual confounding from unmeasured co-morbidity and other sociodemographic factors using database linkage to NZ government datasets. Finally, our results suggest further research into the practice of PD in NZ Maori and Pacific People, as well as definitive study to determine the best timing for switching from PD in the late phase.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies have demonstrated that increased body mass index (BMI) is associated with decreased mortality in hemodialysis (HD) patients. However, the association between BMI and survival has not been well established in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD). The aim of the study was to determine the association between BMI and mortality in the PD population using the Clinical Research Center (CRC) registry for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) cohort in Korea. METHODS Prevalent patients with PD were selected from the CRC registry for ESRD, a prospective cohort study on dialysis patients in Korea. Patients were categorized into four groups by quartiles of BMI. Cox regression analysis was used to calculate the adjusted hazard ratio (HR) of mortality with a BMI of quartile 2 (21.4 - 23.5 kg/m(2)) as the reference. RESULTS A total of 900 prevalent patients undergoing PD were included. The median follow-up period was 24 months. The multivariate Cox proportional hazard model showed that the lowest quartile of BMI was associated with higher mortality (HR 3.00, 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.26 - 7.15). However, the higher quartiles of BMI were not associated with mortality compared with the reference category of BMI quartile 2 (Quartile 3: HR 1.11, 95% CI, 0.43 - 2.85, Quartile 4: HR 1.64, 95% CI, 0.66 - 4.06) after adjustment for clinical variables. CONCLUSIONS Lower BMI was a significant risk factor for death, but increased BMI was not associated with mortality in Korean PD patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We studied the effect of body mass index (BMI) at peritoneal dialysis (PD) initiation on patient and technique survival and on peritonitis during follow-up. METHODS We followed 328 incident patients on PD (176 with diabetes; 242 men; mean age: 52.6 ± 12.6 years; mean BMI: 21.9 ± 3.8 kg/m(2)) for 20.0 ± 14.3 months. Patients were categorized into four BMI groups: obese, ≥ 25 kg/m(2); overweight, 23 - 24.9 kg/m(2); normal, 18.5 - 22.9 kg/m(2) (reference category); and underweight, <18.5 kg/m(2). The outcomes of interest were compared between the groups. RESULTS Of the 328 patients, 47 (14.3%) were underweight, 171 (52.1%) were normal weight, 53 (16.2%) were overweight, and 57 (17.4%) were obese at commencement of PD therapy. The crude hazard ratio (HR) for mortality (p = 0.004) and the HR adjusted for age, subjective global assessment, comorbidities, albumin, diabetes, and residual glomerular filtration rate (p = 0.02) were both significantly greater in the underweight group than in the normal-weight group. In comparison with the reference category, the HR for mortality was significantly greater for underweight PD patients with diabetes [2.7; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.5 to 5.0; p = 0.002], but similar for all BMI categories of nondiabetic PD patients. Median patient survival was statistically inferior in underweight patients than in patients having a normal BMI. Median patient survival in underweight, normal, overweight, and obese patients was, respectively, 26 patient-months (95% CI: 20.9 to 31.0 patient-months), 50 patient-months (95% CI: 33.6 to 66.4 patient-months), 57.7 patient-months (95% CI: 33.2 to 82.2 patient-months), and 49 patient-months (95% CI: 18.4 to 79.6 patient-months; p = 0.015). Death-censored technique survival was statistically similar in all BMI categories. In comparison with the reference category, the odds ratio for peritonitis occurrence was 1.8 (95% CI: 0.9 to 3.4; p = 0.086) for underweight patients; 1.7 (95% CI: 0.9 to 3.2; p = 0.091) for overweight patients; and 3.4 (95% CI: 1.8 to 6.4; p < 0.001) for obese patients. CONCLUSIONS In our PD patients, mean BMI was within the normal range. The HR for mortality was significantly greater for underweight diabetic PD patients than for patients in the reference category. Death-censored technique survival was similar in all BMI categories. Obese patients had a greater risk of peritonitis.

Body mass index and mortality in patients on maintenance hemodialysis: a meta-analysis. Int Urol Nephrol 2014; 46:623-31. [PMID: 24504687 DOI: 10.1007/s11255-014-0653-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/09/2013] [Accepted: 01/24/2014] [Indexed: 01/04/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE In patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (MHD), increasing numbers of studies have reported a reduced mortality in patients with an increased body mass index (BMI). This article provides a meta-analysis on the assessment of the relationship between BMI and mortality in MHD patients. METHODS A systemic literature review was conducted to identify studies that examined all-cause mortality, with or without cardiovascular events, on the basis of bodyweight or obesity measures in MHD population published before October 2012. RESULTS Eight observational studies with a total of 190,163 patients were included. Compared to the individuals with a normal BMI, overweight patients and obese patients were associated with lower all-cause mortality [relative risk (RR) 0.86, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.84-0.88; RR 0.77, 95% CI 0.75-0.78, respectively] and cardiovascular mortality (RR 0.86; 95% CI 0.81-0.91; RR 0.78, 95% CI 0.73-0.83, respectively). Underweight patients had relatively higher all-cause and cardiovascular mortality (RR 1.22, 95% CI 1.20-1.25; RR 1.19, 95% CI 1.11-1.28, respectively). In an obesity-stratified analysis, the patients with moderate or severe obesity presented a strongly decreased all-cause mortality risk (RR 0.64, 95% CI 0.61-0.68) and cardiovascular mortality risk (RR 0.63, 95% CI 0.53-0.75) compared to patients with mild obesity (RR 0.74, 95% CI 0.71-0.77; RR 0.81, 95% CI 0.75-0.87, respectively). CONCLUSIONS These findings show that overweight and obese patients have lower all-cause and cardiovascular mortality rates in patients undergoing MHD. Body weight management and optimized nutritional and metabolic support should help to reduce the high mortality rates that are prevalent in the hemodialysis population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In contrast to the general population, higher body mass index (BMI) is associated with greater survival in patients receiving hemodialysis (HD; "obesity paradox"). We hypothesized that this paradoxical association between BMI and death may be modified by age and dialysis vintage. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective observational study using a large HD patient cohort. SETTING & PARTICIPANTS 123,383 maintenance HD patients treated in DaVita dialysis clinics between July 1, 2001, and June 30, 2006, with follow-up through September 30, 2009. PREDICTORS Age, dialysis vintage, and time-averaged BMI. Time-averaged BMI was divided into 6 subgroups; <18.5, 18.5-<23.0, 23.0-<25.0, 25.0-<30.0, 30.0-<35.0, and ≥35.0kg/m(2). BMI category of 23-<25kg/m(2) was used as the reference category. OUTCOMES All-cause, cardiovascular, and infection-related mortality. RESULTS Mean BMI of study participants was 27±7kg/m(2). Time-averaged BMI was <18.5 and ≥35kg/m(2) in 5% and 11% of patients, respectively. With progressively higher time-averaged BMI, there was progressively lower all-cause, cardiovascular, and infection-related mortality in patients younger than 65 years. In those 65 years or older, even though overweight/obese patients had lower mortality compared with underweight/normal-weight patients, sequential increases in time-averaged BMI > 25kg/m(2) added no additional benefit. Based on dialysis vintage, incident HD patients had greater all-cause and cardiovascular survival benefit with a higher time-averaged BMI compared with the longer term HD patients. LIMITATIONS Causality cannot be determined, and residual confounding cannot be excluded given the observational study design. CONCLUSIONS Higher BMI is associated with lower death risk across all age and dialysis vintage groups. This benefit is more pronounced in incident HD patients and those younger than 65 years. Given the robustness of the survival advantage of higher BMI, examining interventions to maintain or even increase dry weight in HD patients irrespective of age and vintage are warranted.

Abstract
In the general population, obesity is associated with increased cardiovascular risk and decreased survival. In patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), however, an "obesity paradox" or "reverse epidemiology" (to include lipid and hypertension paradoxes) has been consistently reported, i.e. a higher body mass index (BMI) is paradoxically associated with better survival. This survival advantage of large body size is relatively consistent for hemodialysis patients across racial and regional differences, although published results are mixed for peritoneal dialysis patients. Recent data indicate that both higher skeletal muscle mass and increased total body fat are protective, although there are mixed data on visceral (intra-abdominal) fat. The obesity paradox in ESRD is unlikely to be due to residual confounding alone and has biologic plausibility. Possible causes of the obesity paradox include protein-energy wasting and inflammation, time discrepancy among competitive risk factors (undernutrition versus overnutrition), hemodynamic stability, alteration of circulatory cytokines, sequestration of uremic toxin in adipose tissue, and endotoxin-lipoprotein interaction. The obesity paradox may have significant clinical implications in the management of ESRD patients especially if obese dialysis patients are forced to lose weight upon transplant wait-listing. Well-designed studies exploring the causes and consequences of the reverse epidemiology of cardiovascular risk factors, including the obesity paradox, among ESRD patients could provide more information on mechanisms. These could include controlled trials of nutritional and pharmacologic interventions to examine whether gain in lean body mass or even body fat can improve survival and quality of life in these patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Kidney transplant failure (TF) is among the leading causes of dialysis initiation. Whether survival is similar for patients treated with peritoneal dialysis (PD) and with hemodialysis (HD) after TF is unclear and may inform decisions concerning dialysis modality selection. METHODS Between 1995 and 2007, 16 113 adult dialysis patients identified from the US Renal Data System initiated dialysis after TF. A multivariable Cox proportional hazards model was used to evaluate the impact of initial dialysis modality (1 865 PD, 14 248 HD) on early (1-year) and overall mortality in an intention-to-treat approach. RESULTS Compared with HD patients, PD patients were younger (46.1 years vs 49.4 years, p < 0.0001) with fewer comorbidities such as diabetes mellitus (23.1% vs 25.7%, p < 0.0001). After adjustment, survival among PD patients was greater within the first year after dialysis initiation [adjusted hazard ratio (AHR): 0.85; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.74 to 0.97], but lower after 2 years (AHR: 1.15; 95% CI: 1.02 to 1.29). During the entire period of observation, survival in both groups was similar (AHR for PD compared with HD: 1.09; 95% CI: 1.0 to 1.20). In a sensitivity analysis restricted to a cohort of 1865 propensity-matched pairs of HD and PD patients, results were similar (AHR: 1.03; 95% CI: 0.93 to 1.14). Subgroups of patients with a body mass index exceeding 30 kg/m(2) [AHR: 1.26; 95% CI: 1.05 to 1.52) and with a baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) less than 5 mL/min/1.73 m(2) (AHR: 1.45; 95% CI: 1.05 to 1.98) experienced inferior overall survival when treated with PD. CONCLUSIONS Compared with HD, PD is associated with an early survival advantage, inferior late survival, and similar overall survival in patients initiating dialysis after TF. Those data suggest that increased initial use of PD among patients returning to dialysis after TF may be associated with improved outcomes, except among patients with a higher BMI and those who initiate dialysis at lower levels of eGFR. The reasons behind the inferior late survival seen in PD patients are unclear and require further study.

Abstract
Peritoneal dialysis is now a well established, mature treatment modality for advanced chronic kidney disease. The medium term (at least 5 year) survival of patients on peritoneal dialysis is currently equivalent to that of those on haemodialysis, and is particularly good in patients who are new to renal replacement therapy and have less comorbidity. Nevertheless the modality needs to keep pace with the constantly evolving challenges associated with the provision and delivery of health care. These challenges, which are gradually converging at a global level, include ageing of the population, multimorbidity of patients, containment of cost, increasing self care and environmental issues. In this context, peritoneal dialysis faces particular challenges that include multiple barriers to the therapy and unsatisfactory and poorly defined technique survival as well as limitations relating to intrinsic aspects of the therapy, such as peritoneal membrane longevity and hypoalbuminaemia. To move the therapy forward and favourably influence health-care policy, the peritoneal dialysis community needs to integrate their research effort more effectively by undertaking clinically meaningful studies-with a strong focus on technique survival--that are supported by multidisciplinary expertise in patient-centred outcomes, study design and analysis.

Abstract
Background Although clinical experience suggests that patients with diabetes mellitus are more susceptible to several types of infections, the overall scope of pneumonia in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients with diabetic nephropathy (DN) has received little attention. Methods This was a prospective observational cohort study in CAPD patients in which prognostic risks of pneumonia were evaluated in DN and non-DN patients by Cox regression analysis. Hazard ratios of pneumonia events, all-cause and pneumonia-related mortality were calculated by Kaplan-Meier curves and the Cox proportional hazards model for DN versus non-DN patients. Results A total of 1148 patients (58.6% male, 48.34±15.78 years) had a median follow-up of 23.8 months and a maximum follow-up of 72.0 months. The pneumonia incidence rate of 62.3/1,000 patient-years in CAPD patients with DN was significantly higher than that of 28.5/1,000 patient-years in non-DN patients. On multivariate analysis, independent predictors of pneumonia occurrence in CAPD patients with DN were high body mass index (hazard ratio [HR], 1.15; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.01–1.31; P = 0.037) and low serum albumin level (HR, 0.87; 95% CI, 0.78–0.98; P = 0.014). Older age (HR, 1.63; 95% CI, 1.35–1.96; P<0.001) was an independent risk factor for the presence of pneumonia in non-DN patients. CAPD patients with DN had higher pneumonia-related mortality (HR, 4.424; 95% CI, 1.871–10.461; P<0.001) and all-cause mortality (HR, 2.608; 95% CI, 1.890–3.599; P<0.001) hazards than their non-DN counterparts, even when extensive demographics, comorbidities, and lab adjustments were made. Conclusions The pneumonia and all-cause mortality risks were strikingly higher in CAPD patients with DN than in non-DN counterparts, which may warrant further investigation and therapeutic care intensification.

Abstract
Obesity poses a major challenge for nephrologists and patients alike, and its prevalence among patients with kidney disease is increasing at least as fast as in the general population. Although the body mass index (BMI) is the most commonly used measurement of excess adiposity, it has important limitations that can be ameliorated by incorporating other markers of body composition. The influence of obesity on outcomes in patients undergoing dialysis and kidney transplantation is of great interest. Although the preponderance of epidemiologic data suggests that, at least in patients undergoing dialysis, obesity has a neutral or protective effect on mortality, although this has not been confirmed in interventional studies needed to establish causality. The effect of obesity on other important outcomes such as quality of life has yet to be determined, and much less information on obesity and outcomes is available in the kidney transplantation population. Similarly, research on the optimal strategies and effects of weight loss in dialysis and kidney transplantation patients is at a nascent stage.
