Abstract
Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are aging products. In chronic kidney disease (CKD), AGEs accumulate due to the increased production, reduced excretion, and the imbalance between oxidant/antioxidant capacities. CKD is therefore a model of aging. The aim of this review is to summarize the present knowledge of AGEs in CKD onset and progression, also focusing on CKD-related disorders (cardiovascular diseases, sarcopenia, and nutritional imbalance) and CKD mortality. The role of AGEs as etiopathogenetic molecules, as well as potential markers of disease progression and/or therapeutic targets, will be discussed.

Is the measurement of tissue advanced glycosylation products by skin autofluorescence associated with mortality in patients treated by peritoneal dialysis? J Nephrol 2023; 36:217-224. [PMID: 35980536 PMCID: PMC9895012 DOI: 10.1007/s40620-022-01415-9] [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: 06/18/2022] [Accepted: 07/19/2022] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Advanced glycosylated end-products (AGEs) have been shown to cause cardiovascular disease, and tissue AGE accumulation can be measured by skin autofluorescence (SAF). AGEs are cleared by the kidney, and thus accumulate in dialysis patients. However, as the results of SAF measurements in peritoneal dialysis patients (PD) have been ambiguous, we examined the association between mortality and SAF. METHODS We reviewed SAF measurements in PD patients attending a university associated PD program, along with standard measurements of dialysis adequacy and peritoneal membrane function. RESULTS We studied 341 prevalent PD patients, 61.9% male, mean age 61.2 ± 16 years, and 31.4% of all patients died during a median follow-up of 27.2 (23.3-36.3) months. Patients who died were older, mean age 72 ± 10.5 years, were more often diabetic (60.7%), and had higher median SAF 3.8 (3.2-4.5) AU. On logistic regression, mortality was independently associated with age (odds ratio (OR) 1.1 (95% confidence limits 1.06-1.16), diabetes OR 10.1 (3.1-33.4), SAF OR 3.3 (1.8-6.2), all p < 0.001, and male gender OR 5.2 (1.6-17.4), p = 0.007; and negatively associated with weight OR 0.91 (0.86-0.95), p < 0..001, normalised nitrogen appearance rate (nPNA) OR 0.05 (0.01-0.4), p = 0.005 and mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) OR 0.96 (0.93-0.96), p = 0.03. CONCLUSIONS In this observational study, SAF was independently associated with mortality. However, other factors were also associated with mortality, including age, diabetes and malnutrition which have all been reported to affect SAF measurements. Thus, the additional predictive value of measuring SAF compared to standard risk factors for mortality remains to be determined.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Advanced glycation end products are involved in age-related multisystem decline. They accumulate in body tissues with age, diabetes and chronic kidney disease (CKD), and can be measured non-invasively by the skin autofluorescence (SAF). We studied the relation between SAF and later mortality in old adults. METHODS AND RESULTS The SAF was measured using an AGE-Reader in 451 individuals from the general population aged over 75 years, and all-cause mortality was assessed during an average follow-up of 6.4 years. The association between SAF and mortality was analyzed using a multivariate Cox survival model, adjusted for age and gender. Analyses were further adjusted for diabetes and stratified on the presence of CKD due to its interaction with SAF for the risk of mortality. Participants were 82 years old on average (SD 4.1). Their mean SAF was 2.8 AU (SD 0.6). One hundred and forty-four individuals (31.9%) died during the follow-up. Adjusted for age and gender, SAF was associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality (HR 1.44, 95%CI: 1.14-1.82 for a one-AU increase of SAF). The association was no longer significant after adjustment for diabetes. However, after stratification for the presence of CKD, higher SAF was associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality in the participants with CKD at baseline (HR 1.68, 95%CI: 1.11-2.55), whereas there was no association among participants without CKD (HR 0.95, 95%CI: 0.63-1.44). CONCLUSION Skin autofluorescence is associated with increased all-cause mortality in older adults already suffering from CKD.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The accumulation of tissue-advanced glycation end products in skin results from complex and consecutive reactions and can be measured by skin autofluorescence (SAF) reader devices. This overview discusses studies evaluating the utilization of SAF in screening renal and cardiac disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS Literature search was performed using Google Scholar, PubMed, Springer, Ovid, and ScienceDirect. RESULTS SAF was an independent predictor of progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and was elevated in subjects on hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. Furthermore, SAF was significantly associated with cardiovascular events, cardiovascular mortality, and all-cause mortality in CKD patients. Other studies revealed a correlation between SAF and arterial stiffness, vascular damage, and subclinical atherosclerosis. A vegetarian diet was associated with lower SAF levels, whereas malnutrition was correlated with higher levels and increased mortality. CONCLUSIONS SAF measurement may be useful in managing renal and cardiac disease. Future studies are needed to clarify the specific role of SAF in the management of CKD and its noninvasive office utilization to identify comorbidities in inflammatory diseases, such as psoriasis.

Abstract
Background Dialysis patients have an increased risk of mortality. Recently treatment with haemodiafiltration (HDF) has been reported to reduce mortality, particularly cardiovascular mortality, compared to standard high-flux haemodialysis (HD). However, why HDF may offer a survival advantage remains to be determined. So, we conducted a pilot study to explore differences in middle-molecules, inflammation and markers of vascular disease in patients treated by HD and HDF. Methods Observational cross-sectional study measuring serum β2-microglobulin (β2M), Advanced Glycosylation End Products (AGEs) by skin autofluorescence (SAF), oxidative stress with ischaemia modified albumin ratio (IMAR) and peripheral vascular disease assessment using Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI), and arterial stiffness using Cardio-Ankle Vascular Index (CAVI). Results We studied 196 patients, mean age 69.1 ± 12.4 years, 172 (87.8%) treated by HD and 24 (12.2%) by HDF. Age, body mass index, co-morbidity and dialysis vintage were not different between HD and HDF groups. Middle molecules; β2M (31±9.9 vs 31.2±10 ug/mL) and SAF (2.99±0.72 vs 3.0±0.84 AU), ABI (1.06±0.05 vs 1.07±0.10) and CAVI (9.34±1.55 vs 9.35±1.23) were not different, but IMAR was higher in the HD patients (38.4±14.8 vs 31.3 ± 17.4, P = 0.035) Conclusions In this pilot observational study, we found patients treated by HDF had lower oxidative stress as measured by IMAR, with no differences in middle molecules. Lower oxidative stress would be expected to have diverse protective effects on the cardiovascular system Although we found no differences in ABI and CAVI, future studies are required to determine whether reduced oxidative stress translates into clinically relevant differences over time.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The relation of tissue and circulating advanced glycation end products (AGEs) with mortality in hemodialysis (HD) patients remains inconclusive. We aimed to investigate the association of serum AGEs (CML) and tissue AGEs estimated by skin autofluorescence (SAF) with all-cause and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality, and examine the possible modifiers for the association in HD patients with by far the largest sample size in any similar studies. METHODS A total of 1,634 HD patients were included from the China Cooperative Study on Dialysis (CCSD), a multicenter prospective cohort study. The primary and secondary outcomes were all-cause mortality and CVD mortality, respectively. RESULTS The median follow-up duration was 5.2 years. Overall, there was a positive relation of baseline SAF levels with the risk of all-cause mortality (per 1 AU increment, adjusted hazard ratio (HR), 1.30; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.12, 1.50) and CVD mortality (per 1 AU increment, adjusted HR, 1.36; 95% CI: 1.14, 1.62). Moreover, a stronger positive association between baseline SAF (per 1 AU increment) and all-cause mortality was found in participants with shorter dialysis vintage, or lower C-reactive protein levels (Both p interactions <0.05). Nevertheless, there was no significant association between serum CML and the risk of mortality. CONCLUSIONS In patients undergoing long-term HD, baseline SAF, but not serum CML, was significantly associated with the risk of all-cause and CVD death.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This systematic review and meta-analysis were aimed to study the association of tissue accumulation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) measured as skin autofluorescence (SAF) with cardiovascular disease (CVD), cardiovascular mortality (CVM) and all-cause mortality (ACM) in hemodialysis (HD) patients. METHODS All major databases were searched for relevant studies reporting SAF in dialysis patients. Data for meta-analyses were extracted in the form of odds ratios (OR) and/or hazard ratios (HR) and the pooled overall outcomes were computed for the association of SAF with CVD, CVM, ACM in HD patients using either fixed or random effects meta-analysis based on the between-study heterogeneity. The sensitivity and meta-regression analyses were performed. RESULTS We included nine studies in this meta-analysis. The SAF levels were associated with higher risk for cardiovascular morbidity (pooled OR = 2.59, Z = 2.30, P = 0.02), cardiovascular (pooled HR = 3.03, Z = 3.13, P = 0.002) and overall mortalities (pooled HR = 2.23, Z = 6.30, P < 0.001) in HD patients. CONCLUSION In HD patients, the novel and non-invasive measurement of tissue AGEs as SAF levels could be useful for risk estimating the cardiovascular and all-cause mortalities.

Abstract
Advanced glycosylation end-products (AGEs) are reported to be a risk factor for cardiovascular mortality in hemodialysis (HD) patients. As serum AGEs can change with dialysis, measurement of AGEs deposited in the skin by autofluorescence (SAF) is now a recognized method of measuring AGEs. An arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is the preferred way to access blood in HD patients, and as the creation of an AVF changes blood flow distribution in the arm, we wished to determine whether this affected SAF deposition in the skin. SAF was measured using the AGE reader, which directs ultraviolet light at an intensity range of 300-420 nm (peak 370 nm) in the arms of HD patients dialyzing with an AVF. We measured SAF in 267 patients, 60.3% male, 46.1% diabetic, median duration of dialysis 34.7 (15.1-64.2) months with AVF. The median SAF was lower in the AVF arm (median 3.4 (2.9-4.2) vs. 3.7 (3.2-4.5) AU, P < .001), and for the 160 patients with an upper arm AVF (3.5 (2.9-4.3) vs. 3.8 (3.2-4.5) AU, P < .001), but not for the 107 patients dialyzing with a forearm AVF ((3.4 (2.8-4.2) vs. 3.6 (3.0-4.5) AU, P = .085). Blood flow was greater for upper arm AVF compared to forearm AVFs (1190 (770-1960) vs. (930 (653-1250) mL/min, P = .007), but there was no association between blood flow and SAF (P > .05). AVF alters blood flow in the arm, and we found that SAF measurements were lower in the arm with AVF. We suggest that SAF measurements are made in the non-AVF arm.

Abstract
The autofluorescence (AF) characteristics of endogenous fluorophores allow the label-free assessment and visualization of cells and tissues of the human body. While AF imaging (AFI) is well-established in ophthalmology, its clinical applications are steadily expanding to other disciplines. This review summarizes clinical advances of AF techniques published during the past decade. A systematic search of the MEDLINE database and Cochrane Library databases was performed to identify clinical AF studies in extra-ophthalmic tissues. In total, 1097 articles were identified, of which 113 from internal medicine, surgery, oral medicine, and dermatology were reviewed. While comparable technological standards exist in diabetology and cardiology, in all other disciplines, comparability between studies is limited due to the number of differing AF techniques and non-standardized imaging and data analysis. Clear evidence was found for skin AF as a surrogate for blood glucose homeostasis or cardiovascular risk grading. In thyroid surgery, foremost, less experienced surgeons may benefit from the AF-guided intraoperative separation of parathyroid from thyroid tissue. There is a growing interest in AF techniques in clinical disciplines, and promising advances have been made during the past decade. However, further research and development are mandatory to overcome the existing limitations and to maximize the clinical benefits.

Effect of Advanced Glycation End-Products (AGE) Lowering Drug ALT-711 on Biochemical, Vascular, and Bone Parameters in a Rat Model of CKD-MBD. J Bone Miner Res 2020; 35:608-617. [PMID: 31743501 PMCID: PMC9030558 DOI: 10.1002/jbmr.3925] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2019] [Revised: 11/04/2019] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
Chronic kidney disease-mineral bone disorder (CKD-MBD) is a systemic disorder that affects blood measures of bone and mineral homeostasis, vascular calcification, and bone. We hypothesized that the accumulation of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) in CKD may be responsible for the vascular and bone pathologies via alteration of collagen. We treated a naturally occurring model of CKD-MBD, the Cy/+ rat, with a normal and high dose of the AGE crosslink breaker alagebrium (ALT-711), or with calcium in the drinking water to mimic calcium phosphate binders for 10 weeks. These animals were compared to normal (NL) untreated animals. The results showed that CKD animals, compared to normal animals, had elevated blood urea nitrogen (BUN), PTH, FGF23 and phosphorus. Treatment with ALT-711 had no effect on kidney function or PTH, but 3 mg/kg lowered FGF23 whereas calcium lowered PTH. Vascular calcification of the aorta assessed biochemically was increased in CKD animals compared to NL, and decreased by the normal, but not high dose of ALT-711, with parallel decreases in left ventricular hypertrophy. ALT-711 (3 mg/kg) did not alter aorta AGE content, but reduced aorta expression of receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) and NADPH oxidase 2 (NOX2), suggesting effects related to decreased oxidative stress at the cellular level. The elevated total bone AGE was decreased by 3 mg/kg ALT-711 and both bone AGE and cortical porosity were decreased by calcium treatment, but only calcium improved bone properties. In summary, treatment of CKD-MBD with an AGE breaker ALT-711, decreased FGF23, reduced aorta calcification, and reduced total bone AGE without improvement of bone mechanics. These results suggest little effect of ALT-711 on collagen, but potential cellular effects. The data also highlights the need to better measure specific types of AGE proteins at the tissue level in order to fully elucidate the impact of AGEs on CKD-MBD. © 2019 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research.

Abstract
Background Chronic deposits of advanced glycation end products produced by enzymatic glycation have been suggested as predictors of atherosclerotic‐related disorders. This study aimed to estimate the relationship between advanced glycation end products indicated by skin autofluorescence levels and the risk of cardiovascular and all‐cause mortality based on data from observational studies. Methods and Results We systematically searched Medline, Embase, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, and the Web of Science databases from their inceptions until November 2017 for observational studies addressing the association of advanced glycation end products by skin autofluorescence levels with cardiovascular and all‐cause mortality. The DerSimonian and Laird random‐effects method was used to compute pooled estimates of hazard ratios and their respective 95% confidence intervals for the risk of cardiovascular and all‐cause mortality associated with levels of advanced glycation end products by skin autofluorescence. Ten published studies were included in the systematic review and meta‐analysis. Higher skin autofluorescence levels were significantly associated with a higher pooled risk estimate for cardiovascular mortality (hazard ratio: 2.06; 95% confidence interval, 1.58–2.67), which might not be important to moderate heterogeneity (I2=34.7%; P=0.163), and for all‐cause mortality (hazard ratio: 1.91; 95% confidence interval, 1.42–2.56) with substantial heterogeneity (I2=60.8%; P=0.0.18). Conclusions Our data suggest that skin autofluorescence levels could be considered predictors of all‐cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality in patients at high and very high risk.

Comparison of skin autofluorescence, a marker of tissue advanced glycation end-products in peritoneal dialysis patients using standard and biocompatible glucose containing peritoneal dialysates. Nephrology (Carlton) 2019; 24:835-840.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Heat sterilization of peritoneal dialysis (PD) dialysates leads to the generation of advanced glycation products (AGE), which can then deposit in the skin and be measured by skin autofluorescence (SAF). Newer biocompatible dual chamber dialysates contain less AGE. We wished to determine whether the use of these newer dialysates resulted in lower SAF. METHODS Skin autofluorescence was measured using the AGE reader, which directs ultraviolet light, intensity range 300-420 nm (peak 370 nm) in patients established on PD for >3 months using glucose containing dialysates. RESULTS We screened 196 consecutive patients, and measured SAF in 150; 86 (57.3%) male, median age 62 (53-71) years, median duration of PD treatment 17 (8.6-34.3) months. The median SAF was 3.48 (2.92-4.26) AU. The median SAF in the 57 (38%) patients prescribed biocompatible dual chamber bag dialysates was 3.39 (2.69-3.98) versus 3.5 (3.05-4.54) for those using standard dialysates (P = 0.044). Although prescription of biocompatible fluids was associated with SAF on univariate analysis, but not on multivariable testing, SAF was independently associated with Stoke-Davies co-morbidity grade (β 0.045, 95% confidence limits (CL) 0.015-0.075, P = 0.002), log duration of PD therapy (β 0.051, CL 0.001-0.101, P = 0.045), white ethnicity (β 0.066, CL 0.028-0.104, P = 0.001), and negatively with serum albumin (β -0.006, CL -0.008 to -0.004, P = 0.014). CONCLUSION Although SAF was lower in PD patients prescribed biocompatible dual chamber dialysates, on multivariable testing these dialysates were not independently associated with SAF. Other factors than PD fluid AGE content appear more important in determining SAF.

Abstract
Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are protein-bound compounds derived from glycaemic and oxidative stress that contain fluorescent properties, which can be non-invasively measured as skin autofluorescence (SAF) by the AGE Reader. SAF has been demonstrated to be a biomarker of cumulative skin AGEs and potentially may be a better predictor for the development of chronic complications and mortality in diabetes than glycated haemoglobin A1c. However, there are several confounding factors that should be assessed prior to its broader application: these include presence of other fluorescent compounds in the skin that might be measured (eg, fluorophores), skin pigmentation and use of skin creams. The aim of this article is to provide a theoretical background of this newly developed method, evaluate its clinical relevance and discuss the potential confounding factors that need further analysis.

Abstract
PURPOSE Many dialysis centres have no formal program for assessing and adjusting post-haemodialysis (HD) target weight. Apart from clinical assessment, there are bioimpedance devices and natriuretic peptides that could potentially aid clinical management. We wished to determine whether pre- or post-HD bioimpedance assessment of extracellular water (ECW) or N terminal probrain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) affected patient outcomes. METHODS Multi-frequency bioimpedance assessments (MFBIA) were made before and after the midweek dialysis session, along with a post-dialysis NT-proBNP measurement. RESULTS Data from 362 patients, median age of 63 (50-76) years, 59.7% male, 41.2% Caucasoid, with a median dialysis vintage of 31.4 (13.5-61.7) months were available for review. During a median follow-up of 49.6 (21.9-50.2) months there were 110 (30.4%) deaths. Patients who died had significantly increased ECW, as % over-hydrated both pre-HD 6.6 (5.8-7.6)% vs. survivors 5.1 (4-6.6)%, and post-HD 5.1 (4-6.6)% vs. 0.5 (-1-2.2.0, p<0.001, respectively. They also had higher NT-proBNP 325 (122-791) vs. 102 (48-342) pmol/l, p = 0.002. Using an adjusted Cox model, pre-HD ECW overhydration remained an independent factor associated with mortality (overhydration %: hazard ratio 1.15, 95% limits 1.03-1.28, p = 0.013), with a receiver operator curve (ROC) value of 0.7. CONCLUSIONS ECW excess is associated with increased mortality for HD patients, with ECW excess pre-dialysis being the strongest association, although these patients also had increased ECW post dialysis. Future trials are required to determine whether achieving euvolaemia as determined by bioimpedance improves patient survival.
