Abstract
INTRODUCTION Patients with kidney failure receiving chronic haemodialysis have elevated risk of arrhythmias potentially increasing the likelihood of sudden cardiac death, stroke and hospitalisation. The DIALIZE study (NCT03303521) demonstrated that sodium zirconium cyclosilicate (SZC) was an efficacious and well-tolerated treatment for predialysis hyperkalaemia in patients undergoing haemodialysis. The DIALIZE-Outcomes study evaluates the effect of SZC on sudden cardiac death and arrhythmia-related cardiovascular outcomes in patients receiving chronic haemodialysis with recurrent hyperkalaemia. METHODS AND ANALYSIS International, multicentre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study conducted at 357 study sites across 25 countries. Adults (≥18 years) receiving chronic haemodialysis three times per week with recurrent predialysis serum potassium (K+) ≥5.5 mmol/L post long interdialytic interval (LIDI) are eligible. Patients (~2800) will be randomised 1:1 to SZC or placebo, starting at 5 g orally once daily on non-dialysis days and titrated weekly in 5 g increments (maximum 15 g) to target predialysis serum K+ 4.0-5.0 mmol/L post LIDI. The primary objective is to evaluate efficacy of SZC versus placebo in reducing occurrence of the primary composite endpoint of sudden cardiac death, stroke or arrhythmia-related hospitalisation, intervention or emergency department visit. Secondary endpoints include efficacy of SZC versus placebo in maintaining normokalaemia (serum K+ 4.0-5.5 mmol/L post LIDI) at the 12-month visit, preventing severe hyperkalaemia (serum K+ ≥6.5 mmol/L post LIDI) at the 12-month visit and reducing the incidence of individual cardiovascular outcomes. Safety of SZC will be evaluated. The study is event driven, with participants remaining in the study until 770 primary endpoint events have occurred. Average time in the study is expected to be ~25 months. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION Approval was obtained from the relevant institutional review board/independent ethics committee from each participating site (approving bodies in supplementary information). The results will be submitted to a peer-reviewed journal. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBERS EudraCT 2020-005561-14 and clinicaltrials.gov identifier NCT04847232.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Patients on haemodialysis are predisposed to heart rhythm disorders, including bradyarrhythmia, atrial fibrillation (AF)/atrial flutter, supraventricular/ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death (SCD) (Turakhia et al. in Eur Heart J 39:2314–2325, 2018). In addition to the fact that patients on haemodialysis have a high prevalence of underlying cardiac disease, the stress of haemodialysis itself might also contribute to increased rates of arrhythmias and SCD (Samanta et al. in Can J Cardiol 35:1228–1240, 2019).
Methods
A Holter 24-h electrocardiogram was set up immediately before the start of haemodialysis for 72 haemodialysis patients (dialysis vintage: 6–8734 days) to record premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) as a marker of arrhythmogenesis for 24 h. Blood samples were also collected every hour during haemodialysis treatment. Each patient was dialyzed against a dialysate consisting of Na+140 mEq/L, K+ 2.0 mEq/L, Ca+ 3.0 mEq/L, Mg2+ 1.0 mEq/L, Cl− 110 mEq/L, CH3COO− 8 mmol/L and HCO3− 30 mEq/L.
Results
The frequency of PVCs significantly increased in the 4th (80 ± 34 beats/hour, mean ± S.E.), 5th (79 ± 31 beats/hour) and 6th (105 ± 36 beats/hour) hours (F = 5.24, p < 0.00001, n = 72). The lowest left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF, p = 0.001) and the highest b-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels (p = 0.049) were found in patients with the highest PVC counts. There was an association of positive changes in both serum K+ (β ± S.E., 9.7 ± 2.4, p = 0.0002), Mg2+ (43.2 ± 10.3, p = 0.0001) and HCO3− (5.3 ± 1.8, p = 0.005) with the frequency of PVCs for 4 h immediately after dialysis. During the same period, there was an association of lower serum K+ (− 8.37 ± 2.16, p = 0.0003) and higher Ca2+ (73.4 ± 18.0, p = 0.0002) with the frequency of PVCs.
Conclusions
Haemodialysis stimulated PVC generation, and this effect was especially prominent during the period immediately after haemodialysis. Some serum electrolyte changes affected this PVC stimulation. A positive change in serum K+ or Mg2+ and a negative change in serum Ca2+ during dialysis are risk factors for stimulating PVCs, particularly in patients with lower serum K+ or higher serum Ca2+ levels at the start of dialysis.

Abstract
Cardiovascular morbidity and mortality occur with an extraordinarily high incidence in the hemodialysis-dependent end-stage kidney disease population. There is a clear need to improve identification of those individuals at the highest risk of cardiovascular complications in order to better target them for preventative therapies. Twelve-lead electrocardiograms are ubiquitous and use inexpensive technology that can be administered with minimal inconvenience to patients and at a minimal burden to care providers. The embedded waveforms encode significant information on the cardiovascular structure and function that might be unlocked and used to identify at-risk individuals with the use of artificial intelligence techniques like deep learning. In this review, we discuss the experience with deep learning-based analysis of electrocardiograms to identify cardiovascular abnormalities or risk and the potential to extend this to the setting of dialysis-dependent end-stage kidney disease.

[PMID: 36514397 PMCID: PMC9717630 DOI: 10.34067/kid.0003142022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/02/2022] [Accepted: 09/13/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022]
Abstract
Background Bradycardia and asystole events are common among patients treated with maintenance hemodialysis. However, triggers of these events in patients on maintenance hemodialysis (HD), particularly during the long interdialytic period when these events cluster, are uncertain. Methods The Monitoring in Dialysis Study (MiD) enrolled 66 patients on maintenance HD who were implanted with loop recorders and followed for 6 months. We analyzed associations of predialysis laboratory values with clinically significant bradyarrhythmia or asystole (CSBA) during the 12 hours before an HD session. Associations with CSBA were analyzed with mixed-effect models. Adjusted negative binomial mixed-effect regression was used to estimate incidence rate ratios (IRR) for CSBA. We additionally evaluated associations of CSBA at any time during follow-up with time-averaged dialytic and laboratory parameters and associations of peridialytic parameters with occurrence of CSBA from the start of one HD session to the beginning of the next. Results There were 551 CSBA that occurred in the last 12 hours of the interdialytic interval preceding 100 HD sessions in 12% of patients and 1475 CSBA events in 23% of patients overall. We did not identify significant associations between dialytic parameters or serum electrolytes and CSBA in the last 12 hours of the interdialytic interval in adjusted analyses. Median time-averaged ultrafiltration rate was significantly higher in individuals without CSBA (9.8 versus 8, P=0.04). Use of dialysate sodium concentrations ≤135 (versus 140) mEq/L was associated with a reduced risk of CSBA from the start of one session to the beginning of next. Conclusions Although a few factors had modest associations with CSBA in some analyses, we did not identify any robust associations of modifiable parameters with CSBA in the MiD Study. Further investigation is needed to understand the high rates of arrhythmia in the hemodialysis population.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION People treated with haemodialysis are at increased risk for all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. Plasma magnesium concentration has been inversely associated with these risks. Therefore, plasma magnesium may be a new modifiable risk factor and an increase of dialysate magnesium concentration may be an easy, safe and effective way to increase plasma magnesium concentrations. Detailed information on modulating dialysate magnesium concentrations is limited in literature. Primary objective of this study is to determine the safety and feasibility to increase plasma magnesium concentrations in people treated with haemodialysis by means of sequentially increasing concentration of magnesium in the dialysate. METHODS AND ANALYSIS In this randomised double-blinded standard of care controlled trial, 53 persons treated with haemodialysis will be randomly allocated 2:1 to either a stepwise individually titrated increase of dialysate magnesium concentration from 0.50 to 0.75 to 1.00 mmol/L during 8 weeks, or a standard dialysate magnesium concentration of 0.50 mmol/L. Other study measurements include dietary records, questionnaires, ECG, Holter registration and pulse wave velocity. The primary endpoint is predialysis plasma magnesium after the long interdialytic interval at the end of week 8. In addition, the predictive effect of dialysate magnesium concentration and other baseline parameters and dialysis characteristics on plasma magnesium concentration will be explored using linear mixed models. Safety endpoint is defined by the occurrence of hypermagnesemia above 1.25 mmol/L, or bradycardia or prolonged QTc interval detected on the ECG. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION The study is conducted in accordance with the declaration of Helsinki as revised in 2013 and was approved by the Ethical Committee of the VU University Medical Centre. The results of the study will be disseminated by publication in peer-reviewed scientific journals and presentation at national or international conferences in the field of interest. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NTR6568/NL6393.

Abstract
New physiologic findings related to sodium homeostasis and pathophysiologic associations require a new vision for sodium, fluid and blood pressure management in dialysis-dependent chronic kidney disease patients. The traditional dry weight probing approach that has prevailed for many years must be reviewed in light of these findings and enriched by availability of new tools for monitoring and handling sodium and water imbalances. A comprehensive and integrated approach is needed to improve further cardiac health in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Adequate management of sodium, water, volume and hemodynamic control of HD patients relies on a stepwise approach: the first entails assessment and monitoring of fluid status and relies on clinical judgement supported by specific tools that are online embedded in the HD machine or devices used offline; the second consists of acting on correcting fluid imbalance mainly through dialysis prescription (treatment time, active tools embedded on HD machine) but also on guidance related to diet and thirst management; the third consist of fine tuning treatment prescription to patient responses and tolerance with the support of innovative tools such as artificial intelligence and remote pervasive health trackers. It is time to come back to sodium and water imbalance as the root cause of the problem and not to act primarily on their consequences (fluid overload, hypertension) or organ damage (heart; atherosclerosis, brain). We know the problem and have the tools to assess and manage in a more precise way sodium and fluid in HD patients. We strongly call for a sodium first approach to reduce disease burden and improve cardiac health in dialysis-dependent chronic kidney disease patients.

Abstract
Subcutaneous loop recorders (SCRMs) are subcutaneous electronic devices which have revolutionized the field of arrhythmia detection. They have become increasingly appealing due to advances such as miniaturization of device, longer battery life, bluetooth capabilities and relatively simple implantation technique without the need for complex surgical suites. They can be implanted in the office, patient bedside without the need to go to the operating room. One of the most common indications for their implantation is detection of atrial fibrillation (AF) after a cryptogenic stroke. They have also been utilized for assessing the success of rhythm control strategies such post pulmonary venous isolation. More recently studies have assessed the utility of SCRMs for detecting silent AF in at risk populations such as patients with sleep apnea or those on hemodialysis. In this paper, we review the evolution of SCRMs, the clinical studies assessing their value for different indications, their role incurrent clinical practice and future avenues in the era of smart wearable devices like apple watch etc.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with chronic kidney disease, especially those receiving hemodialysis (HD), are at risk of hyperkalemia (HK). This systematic review aimed to evaluate the prevalence of HK in patients with renal disease receiving HD and collate evidence on the effect of HK and differing HD patterns (i.e., long vs. short inter-dialytic intervals [LIDI and SIDI, respectively] in a thrice weekly schedule) on mortality. METHODS Comprehensive searches were conducted across six databases and selected conference proceedings by two independent reviewers up to September 2020. A hundred and two studies reporting frequency of HK, mortality, or cardiovascular (CV) outcomes in adult patients with acute, chronic or end-stage renal disease in receipt of HD were included. Narrative synthesis of results was undertaken with key findings presented in tables and figures. RESULTS Median prevalence of HK in patients with renal disease receiving HD was 21.6% and increased in patients receiving concomitant medications - mainly renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors and potassium-sparing diuretics. Associations between elevated potassium levels and increased risk of both all-cause and CV mortality in the HD population were consistent across the included studies. In addition, there was a rise in all-cause and CV mortality on the day following LIDI compared with the day after the two SIDIs in patients on HD. CONCLUSIONS Evidence identified in this systematic review indicates a relationship between HK and LIDI with mortality in patients with renal disease receiving HD, emphasizing the need for effective monitoring and management to control potassium levels both in emergency and chronic HD settings.

Abstract
Hemodialysis (HD) is a life-sustaining therapy as well as an intermittent and repetitive stress condition for the patient. In ridding the blood of unwanted substances and excess fluid from the blood, the extracorporeal procedure simultaneously induces persistent physiological changes that adversely affect several organs. Dialysis patients experience this systemic stress condition usually thrice weekly and sometimes more frequently depending on the treatment schedule. Dialysis-induced systemic stress results from multifactorial components that include treatment schedule (i.e. modality, treatment time), hemodynamic management (i.e. ultrafiltration, weight loss), intensity of solute fluxes, osmotic and electrolytic shifts and interaction of blood with components of the extracorporeal circuit. Intradialytic morbidity (i.e. hypovolemia, intradialytic hypotension, hypoxia) is the clinical expression of this systemic stress that may act as a disease modifier, resulting in multiorgan injury and long-term morbidity. Thus, while lifesaving, HD exposes the patient to several systemic stressors, both hemodynamic and non-hemodynamic in origin. In addition, a combination of cardiocirculatory stress, greatly conditioned by the switch from hypervolemia to hypovolemia, hypoxemia and electrolyte changes may create pro-arrhythmogenic conditions. Moreover, contact of blood with components of the extracorporeal circuit directly activate circulating cells (i.e. macrophages-monocytes or platelets) and protein systems (i.e. coagulation, complement, contact phase kallikrein-kinin system), leading to induction of pro-inflammatory cytokines and resulting in chronic low-grade inflammation, further contributing to poor outcomes. The multifactorial, repetitive HD-induced stress that globally reduces tissue perfusion and oxygenation could have deleterious long-term consequences on the functionality of vital organs such as heart, brain, liver and kidney. In this article, we summarize the multisystemic pathophysiological consequences of the main circulatory stress factors. Strategies to mitigate their effects to provide more cardioprotective and personalized dialytic therapies are proposed to reduce the systemic burden of HD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS High rates of sudden cardiac death are mostly attributed to ventricular arrhythmias including QTc prolongation in hemodialysis patients. We aimed to investigate the correlation of electrolyte and volume changes with QTc interval prolongation in hemodialysis patients. STUDY DESIGN The present study is designed as a cross-sectional study. METHODS The study was conducted at the hemodialysis unit of a training and research hospital and its' satellite dialysis unit. Patients were divided into three groups. Group-1: with normal QTc interval both at the beginning and during dialysis session; group-2: with prolonged QTc interval at the beginning and remained prolonged during dialysis session; group-3: with normal QTc interval at the beginning but prolonged during the dialysis session. In addition, patients were evaluated in terms of QTc change between the beginning and 2nd hour (delta-QTc-1) and between 2nd hour and 4th hour (delta-QTc-2), respectively, and defined as 'patients with increased QTc interval' and 'patients without increased QTc interval'. RESULTS A total of 45 prevalent hemodialysis patients were enrolled in the study. 14 patients (31.1%) had normal QTc interval (group-1), 13 patients (28.9%) had prolonged QTc interval at the beginning and remained prolonged during dialysis session (group-2) and 18 patients (40%) had normal QTc interval at the beginning but prolonged during dialysis session (group-3). There was no statistically significant difference between groups in terms of baseline electrolyte levels. Calcium change in the first 2 h was lower in patients with QTc prolongation from the start or during the dialysis session (group-2 and group-3). In addition, systolic blood pressure (SBP) levels at the beginning of the session (118 ± 15 mmHg vs 124 ± 28 mmHg vs138 ± 24 mmHg; p = 0.04) and intradialytic ultrafiltration (UF) rate were higher (1.96 ± 0.6 L/4 h vs 2.6 ± 1.0 L/4 h vs 2.8 ± 0.9 L/4 h; p = 0.03) in group-2 and group-3 compared to patients in group-1. Increase in QTc interval was found higher in patients with less calcium increase (Rho: - 0.36; p = 0.01) and with greater magnesium decrease in the first 2 h (Rho: 0.31; p = 0.04). CONCLUSION QTc interval prolongation is common among hemodialysis patients. High intradialytic UF rates, change in serum magnesium and calcium levels in the first 2 h were found associated with QTc prolongation. However, QTc prolongation was found independently associated only with UF volume and calcium change in the first 2 h.

Intra-dialytic hypotension following the transition from continuous to intermittent renal replacement therapy. Ann Intensive Care 2021; 11:96. [PMID: 34146164 PMCID: PMC8214642 DOI: 10.1186/s13613-021-00885-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2020] [Accepted: 06/07/2021] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Transition from continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) to intermittent renal replacement therapy (IRRT) can be associated with intra-dialytic hypotension (IDH) although data to inform the definition of IDH, its incidence and clinical implications, are lacking. We aimed to describe the incidence and factors associated with IDH during the first IRRT session following transition from CRRT and its association with hospital mortality. This was a retrospective single-center cohort study in patients with acute kidney injury for whom at least one CRRT-to-IRRT transition occurred while in intensive care. We assessed associations between multiple candidate definitions of IDH and hospital mortality. We then evaluated the factors associated with IDH. Results We evaluated 231 CRRT-to-IRRT transitions in 213 critically ill patients with AKI. Hospital mortality was 43.7% (n = 93). We defined IDH during the first IRRT session as 1) discontinuation of IRRT for hemodynamic instability; 2) any initiation or increase in vasopressor/inotropic agents or 3) a nadir systolic blood pressure of < 90 mmHg. IDH during the first IRRT session occurred in 50.2% of CRRT-to-IRRT transitions and was independently associated with hospital mortality (adjusted odds ratio [OR]: 2.71; CI 1.51–4.84, p < 0.001). Clinical variables at the time of CRRT discontinuation associated with IDH included vasopressor use, higher cumulative fluid balance, and lower urine output. Conclusions IDH events during CRRT-to-IRRT transition occurred in nearly half of patients and were independently associated with hospital mortality. We identified several characteristics that anticipate the development of IDH following the initiation of IRRT.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of dialysis fluids (DFs) during haemodialysis has been associated with increased oxidative stress and reduced serum magnesium (Mg) levels, contributing to chronic inflammation. Since the role of Mg in modulating immune function and reducing oxidative stress has been demonstrated, the aim of this study was to characterize in vitro whether increasing the Mg concentration in DFs could protect immune cells from oxidative stress and damage. METHODS The effect of citrate [citrate dialysis fluid (CDF), 1 mM] or acetate [acetate dialysis fluid (ADF), 3 mM] dialysates with low (0.5 mM; routinely used) or high (1 mM, 1.25 mM and 2 mM) Mg concentrations was assessed in THP-1 human monocytes. The levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), malondialdehyde (MDA) and oxidized/reduced (GSSG/GSH) glutathione were quantified under basal and inflammatory conditions (stimulation with lipopolysaccharide, LPS). RESULTS The increase of Mg in CDF resulted in a significant reduction of ROS production under basal and inflammatory conditions (extremely marked in 2 mM Mg; P < 0.001). These effects were not observed in ADF. Interestingly, in a dose-dependent manner, high Mg doses in CDF reduced oxidative stress in monocytes under both basal and inflammatory conditions. In fact, 2 mM Mg significantly decreased the levels of GSH, GSSG and MDA and the GSSG/GSH ratio in relation to 0.5 mM Mg. CONCLUSIONS CDF produces lower oxidative stress than ADF. The increase of Mg content in DFs, especially in CDF, could have a positive and protective effect in reducing oxidative stress and damage in immune cells, especially under inflammatory conditions.

Abstract
RATIONALE & OBJECTIVE Low serum magnesium level has been shown to be associated with increased mortality, but its role as a predictor of cardiovascular disease is unclear. This study evaluates the association between serum magnesium level and cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality in a large cohort of individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD). STUDY DESIGN Prospective cohort study. SETTING & PARTICIPANTS 3,867 participants with CKD, enrolled in the Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort (CRIC) Study. EXPOSURES Serum magnesium measured at study baseline. OUTCOMES Composite cardiovascular events (myocardial infarction, cerebrovascular accident, heart failure, and peripheral arterial disease) and all-cause mortality. ANALYTICAL APPROACH Cox proportional hazards models adjusted for demographic, clinical, and laboratory characteristics. RESULTS During the 14.6 (4.4) years (standard deviation) of follow-up, 1,384 participants died (36/1,000 person-years), and 1,227 (40/1,000 person-years) had a composite cardiovascular event. There was a nonlinear association between serum magnesium level and all-cause mortality. Low and high magnesium levels were associated with greater rates of all-cause mortality after adjusting for demographics, comorbid conditions, medications including diuretics, estimated glomerular filtration rate, and proteinuria (P < 0.001). No significant associations were observed between serum magnesium levels and the composite cardiovascular events. Low serum magnesium level was associated with incident atrial fibrillation (HR, 1.36; 95% CI, 1.01-1.82; P = 0.04). LIMITATIONS Single measurement of serum magnesium. CONCLUSIONS In this large CKD cohort, serum magnesium level < 1.9 mg/dL and >2.1 mg/dL was associated with increased risk for all-cause mortality. Low magnesium level was associated with incident atrial fibrillation but not with composite cardiovascular disease events. Further studies are needed to determine the optimal range of serum magnesium in CKD to prevent adverse clinical outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is a paucity of contemporary data examining electrolyte changes during and immediately after hemodialysis (HD), and their relationship with dialysate prescriptions. The present study examines these relationships. METHODS We analyzed patient- (n=66) and HD session-level pre- and post-dialysis laboratory data (n=1,713) over a six-month period from the Monitoring in Dialysis Study. We fit mixed effects regression models to analyze electrolyte, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, and albumin levels immediately post-HD, accounting for pre-HD and dialysate prescriptions. In a subset of US patients (n=40), 15-minute post-HD and 30-minute post-HD values were available at one session. Predictive models were fit to estimate electrolyte levels immediately post-HD, accounting for pre-HD concentrations and dialysate prescriptions. RESULTS Serum bicarbonate, calcium, and albumin increased (mean increase 4.9±0.3 mEq/L, 0.7±0.1 mEq/L, and 0.4±0.03 g/dL, respectively), whereas potassium, magnesium, and phosphorus decreased immediately post-HD (mean -1.2±0.1 mEq/L, -0.3±0.03 mEq/L, and -3.0±0.2 mg/dL, respectively). Hypokalemia and hypophosphatemia were present in 40% of and 67% of immediate post-HD samples, respectively. Dynamic changes were observed in electrolyte concentrations at 15- and 30-minutes post-HD, compared to immediately post-HD. CONCLUSION We describe the magnitude of post-dialytic changes in serum electrolytes with contemporary HD, reporting a high incidence of electrolyte abnormalities post-HD, and present predictive nomograms relating electrolyte changes immediately post-HD to dialysate prescriptions. Our results may be useful for clinical care and provide insights for future research on dialysate prescriptions.

A Higher Concentration of Dialysate Magnesium to Reduce the Frequency of Muscle Cramps: A Narrative Review. Can J Kidney Health Dis 2020; 7:2054358120964078.

Abstract
Purpose of review: Strategies to mitigate muscle cramps are a top research priority for patients receiving hemodialysis. As hypomagnesemia is a possible risk factor for cramping, we reviewed the literature to better understand the physiology of cramping as well as the epidemiology of hypomagnesemia and muscle cramps. We also sought to review the evidence from interventional studies on the effect of oral and dialysate magnesium-based therapies on muscle cramps. Sources of information: Peer-reviewed articles. Methods: We searched for relevant articles in major bibliographic databases including MEDLINE and EMBASE. The methodological quality of interventional studies was assessed using a modified version of the Downs and Blacks criteria checklist. Key findings: The etiology of muscle cramps in patients receiving hemodialysis is poorly understood and there are no clear evidence-based prevention or treatment strategies. Several factors may play a role including a low concentration of serum magnesium. The prevalence of hypomagnesemia (concentration of <0.7 mmol/L) in patients receiving hemodialysis ranges from 10% to 20%. Causes of hypomagnesemia include a low dietary intake of magnesium, use of medications that inhibit magnesium absorption (eg, proton pump inhibitors), increased magnesium excretion (eg, high-dose loop diuretics), and a low concentration of dialysate magnesium. Dialysate magnesium concentrations of ≤0.5 mmol/L may be associated with a decrease in serum magnesium concentration over time. Preliminary evidence from observational and interventional studies suggests a higher dialysate magnesium concentration will raise serum magnesium concentrations and may reduce the frequency and severity of muscle cramps. However, the quality of evidence supporting this benefit is limited, and larger, multicenter clinical trials are needed to further determine if magnesium-based therapy can reduce muscle cramps in patients receiving hemodialysis. In studies conducted to date, increasing the concentration of dialysate magnesium appears to be well-tolerated and is associated with a low risk of symptomatic hypermagnesemia. Limitations: Few interventional studies have examined the effect of magnesium-based therapy on muscle cramps in patients receiving hemodialysis and most were nonrandomized, pre-post study designs.

Increasing the Magnesium Concentration in Various Dialysate Solutions Differentially Modulates Oxidative Stress in a Human Monocyte Cell Line. Antioxidants (Basel) 2020; 9:antiox9040319. [PMID: 32326605 PMCID: PMC7222382 DOI: 10.3390/antiox9040319] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2020] [Revised: 04/01/2020] [Accepted: 04/14/2020] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Oxidative stress is exacerbated in hemodialysis patients by several factors, including the uremic environment and the use of dialysis fluids (DFs). Since magnesium (Mg) plays a key role in modulating immune function and in reducing oxidative stress, we aimed to evaluate whether increasing the Mg concentration in different DFs could protect against oxidative stress in immunocompetent cells in vitro. Effect of ADF (acetate 3 mM), CDF (citrate 1 mM), and ACDF (citrate 0.8 mM + acetate 0.3 mM) dialysates with Mg at standard (0.5 mM) or higher (1, 1.25, and 2 mM) concentrations were assessed in THP-1 monocyte cultures. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels were quantified under basal and uremic conditions (indoxyl sulfate (IS) treatment). Under uremic conditions, the three DFs with 0.5 mM Mg promoted higher ROS production and lipid damage than the control solution. However, CDF and ACDF induced lower levels of ROS and MDA, compared to that induced by ADF. High Mg concentration (1.25 and/or 2 mM) in CDF and ACDF protected against oxidative stress, indicated by reduced ROS and MDA levels compared to respective DFs with standard concentration of Mg. Increasing Mg concentrations in ADF promoted high ROS production and MDA content. Thus, an increase in Mg content in DFs has differential effects on the oxidative stress in IS-treated THP-1 cells depending on the dialysate used.

Abstract
The review presents data on the prevalence of atrial fibrillation in patients on dialysis therapy. It is shown that dialysis-dependent patients with non-valve atrial fibrillation prognosis is extremely unfavorable, significantly increased risk of death due to both ischemic and hemorrhagic complications. Scales to assess the risk of thromboembolic and hemorrhagic complications in patients with atrial fibrillation on program dialysis are not validated. The lack of data from randomized clinical trials makes it much more difficult to choose anticoagulant therapy in patients with terminal stage of chronic kidney disease on dialysis who have undergone kidney transplantation. Therefore, the need for anticoagulant therapy and the choice of drugs in patients in this category should be made on the basis of a personalized multidisciplinary approach, taking into account comorbid pathology and the patient's preferences.

Abstract
Abstract
Plasma potassium concentration is maintained in a narrow range to avoid deleterious electrophysiologic consequences of both abnormally low and high levels. This is achieved by redundant physiologic mechanisms, with the kidneys playing a central role in maintaining both short-term plasma potassium stability and long-term total body potassium balance. In patients with end-stage renal disease, the lack of kidney function reduces the body’s ability to maintain normal physiologic potassium balance. Routine thrice-weekly dialysis therapy achieves long-term total body potassium mass balance, but the intermittent nature of dialytic therapy can result in wide fluctuations in plasma potassium concentration and consequently contribute to an increased risk of arrhythmogenicity. Various dialytic and nondialytic interventions can reduce the magnitude of these fluctuations, but the impact of such interventions on clinical outcomes remains unclear.
