Abstract
Background Chronic kidney disease (CKD) leads to a progressive decline in renal function, primarily due to deteriorating kidney structures. Vascular calcification is a key effect of CKD. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play a significant role in the onset and progression of both cardiovascular illness and CKD. Aim The aim of this study was to compare biomarkers of endothelial dysfunction, 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D), intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH), miRNA 155, and miRNA 145, in patients with CKD versus controls. Methods We recruited 60 patients with CKD and 60 controls. All participants underwent brachial artery flow-mediated dilatation (FMD). Asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) levels were measured using ELISA. Levels of miRNA 145 and miRNA 155 were quantified using real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Results Serum levels of miRNA 145, miRNA 155, 25(OH)D, and FMD were significantly lower in CKD patients compared to controls. Conversely, serum ADMA and iPTH levels were significantly higher in CKD patients. There was a significant negative association between miRNA 145, miRNA 155, FMD, and 25(OH)D with ADMA and iPTH. Additionally, miRNA 145, miRNA 155, FMD, and 25(OH)D showed a significant positive correlation with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and with each other. Conclusion Lower levels of miRNA 145 and miRNA 155 and increased endothelial dysfunction correlate with CKD severity, suggesting an accelerated risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD).

Tenapanor: A Phosphate Absorption Inhibitor for the Management of Hyperphosphatemia in Patients With Kidney Failure. J Ren Nutr 2024:S1051-2276(24)00156-0. [PMID: 38992521 DOI: 10.1053/j.jrn.2024.07.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/16/2024] [Accepted: 07/01/2024] [Indexed: 07/13/2024] Open
Abstract
Because of increased risks of cardiovascular disease and death, patients with hyperphosphatemia receiving maintenance dialysis are advised to limit phosphorus consumption and are prescribed phosphate binders in an effort to better control serum phosphate concentrations. Because of large pill size, pill burden, and tolerability issues, phosphate binder adherence is relatively poor. On ingestion, phosphate is absorbed from the intestine via transcellular or paracellular transport. Data show that inhibiting sodium-hydrogen exchanger 3 modulates paracellular phosphate absorption (the predominant pathway in humans). Tenapanor is a first-in-class, minimally absorbed, phosphate absorption inhibitor that selectively inhibits sodium-hydrogen exchanger 3, with a mechanism distinct from, and complementary to, that of phosphate binders. In phase 3 and postregistrational studies, tenapanor conferred statistically significant and clinically meaningful reductions in serum phosphate in patients receiving maintenance dialysis with hyperphosphatemia. Here, we review the available preclinical and clinical data on the effects of tenapanor on controlling intestinal phosphate absorption.

Abstract
(1) Background: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of mortality worldwide. The aim of the study was to examine the existing published results of the association between elevated serum phosphate concentrations and cardiovascular mortality, along with the CVD incidence and subclinical coronary atherosclerosis, in primary prevention among non-selected samples of the general population. (2) Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis were carried out using literature obtained from PubMed, SCOPUS, and the Web Of Science until March 2024 and following the PRISMA guidelines. Relevant information was extracted and presented. Random and fixed effects models were used to estimate the pooled odds ratio (OR) and hazard ratio (HR) with their 95% coefficient interval (CI), and I2 was used to assess heterogeneity. (3) Results: Twenty-five studies met our inclusion criteria and were included in the meta-analysis (11 cross-sectional and 14 cohort studies). For cardiovascular mortality, which included 7 cohort studies and 41,764 adults, the pooled HR was 1.44 (95% CIs 1.28, 1.61; I2 0%) when the highest versus the reference level of serum phosphate concentrations were compared. For CVDs, which included 8 cohort studies and 61,723 adults, the pooled HR was 1.12 (95% CIs 0.99, 1.27; I2 51%). For subclinical coronary atherosclerosis, which included 11 cross-sectional studies and 24,820 adults, the pooled OR was 1.44 (95% CIs 1.15, 1.79; I2 88%). (4) Conclusions: The highest serum phosphate concentrations were positively associated with a 44% increased risk of cardiovascular mortality and subclinical coronary atherosclerosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lanthanum carbonate is widely used to manage serum phosphate and calcium levels in end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) patients, yet comprehensive long-term safety data are lacking. This study leverages the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) to assess the extended safety profile of lanthanum carbonate. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We analyzed FAERS data (2004-2022) to study the association between lanthanum carbonate and adverse events (AEs). Using MedDRA v25.0, we identified risk signals through System Organ Classes (SOCs) and Preferred Terms (PTs). Disproportionality analyzes quantified lanthanum carbonate-associated AE signals. RESULTS Among 3,284 reports, 2,466 were primary suspected AEs linked to lanthanum carbonate. Males reported AEs more frequently than females. Patients aged over 64 represented the majority. Median onset time for lanthanum carbonate-related AEs was 146 days. Gastrointestinal disorders were prevalent. We identified 16 new signals, including stress, abnormal hepatic function, cholelithiasis, bile duct stone, gastric cancer, and adenocarcinoma gastric. Stress was notable, particularly in male patients over 65 and those with lower weight. CONCLUSIONS This study affirms lanthanum carbonate's long-term safety for reducing elevated blood phosphorus levels. While gastrointestinal disorders were common, attention must focus on emerging AEs, particularly stress, especially in elderly patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE The consumption of highly processed food is often associated with a high intake of inorganic phosphate. Hyperphosphatemia is accompanied by an inflammatory status in patients with chronic kidney disease. However, the immune response to high phosphorus intake in healthy individuals is largely unknown. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of a single phosphate-enriched meal on inflammasome activity and plasma levels of inflammatory markers. METHODS The analysis included 28 participants who received a single dose of either 700 mg phosphorus or a placebo with a test meal. At baseline, 4 and 8 h post-meal, plasma interleukin (IL)-6, IL-1β, IL-10, c-reactive protein (CRP), soluble IL-6 receptor (sIL-6R) and glycoprotein 130 (sgp130) levels were determined. At baseline and 4 h post-meal, peripheral blood mononuclear cells were isolated to assess inflammasome activity. Subsequently, the effect of phosphate with or without glucose on IL-6 and IL-1β gene expression and secretion in U937 monocytes was examined. RESULTS While both groups showed a marked postprandial increase in IL-6 plasma levels, neither plasma levels of IL-6, IL-1β, CRP, IL-10, sIL-6R, and sgp130 nor inflammasome activity were affected by phosphate compared to placebo. In U937 cells, there was also no effect of phosphate on IL-6 expression, but the addition of glucose increased it. Phosphate, however, reduced the IL-1β secretion of these cells. CONCLUSION Postprandial inflammatory markers were not affected by dietary phosphate. However, IL-6 plasma levels were markedly increased post-meal, which appears to be a metabolic rather than a pro-inflammatory phenomenon. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03771924, date of registration: 11th December 2018, retrospectively registered.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Case reports have suggested a causative role between sevelamer use and subsequent gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB), but no large observational studies have evaluated this association. METHODS Using the United States Renal Data System database from 2015 to 2019, we examined the association between initiation of sevelamer (vs. non-sevelamer containing phosphate binders) and GIB hospitalization as well as all-cause mortality among individuals on hemodialysis. We emulated a target trial using Cox regression models and inverse probability of treatment weights to estimate the adjusted hazard ratios (HR) across outcomes and subgroups. RESULTS Among 21,354 new users of phosphate binders (11,276 sevelamer and 10,078 non-sevelamer) with baseline lab data (calcium, phosphorus, hemoglobin, and albumin), there were 2,811 GIB hospitalizations and 5,920 deaths after a median follow-up of 1.3 years. Compared with the initiation of non-sevelamer binders, sevelamer was not associated with an increased risk of GIB hospitalization (89 vs. 90 events per 1,000 person-years; IPTW-HR: 0.98, 95% CI: 0.91-1.06) or all-cause mortality (220 vs. 224 events per 1,000 person-years; IPTW-HR: 0.98, 95% CI: 0.93-1.03). Subgroup analyses (such as diabetes and anti-coagulation use) were generally consistent, and there was no association between sevelamer dose and GIB hospitalization. CONCLUSION Among patients requiring hemodialysis, sevelamer (vs. non-sevelamer) containing phosphate binders was not associated with increased risk of GIB hospitalization.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) often coexist and have a major impact on patient prognosis. Organ fibrosis plays a significant role in the pathogenesis of cardio-renal syndrome (CRS), explaining the high incidence of heart failure and sudden cardiac death in these patients. Various mediators and mechanisms have been proposed as contributors to the alteration of fibroblasts and collagen turnover, varying from hemodynamic changes to the activation of the renin-angiotensin system, involvement of FGF 23, and Klotho protein or collagen deposition. A better understanding of all the mechanisms involved has prompted the search for alternative therapeutic targets, such as novel inhibitors of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), serelaxin, and neutralizing interleukin-11 (IL-11) antibodies. This review focuses on the molecular mechanisms of cardiac and renal fibrosis in the CKD and heart failure (HF) population and highlights the therapeutic alternatives designed to target the responsible pathways.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to develop a Nomogram model to identify the risk of all-cause mortality during hospitalization in patients with heart failure (HF). METHODS HF patients who had been registered in the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC) III and IV databases were included. The primary outcome was the occurrence of all-cause mortality during hospitalization. Two Logistic Regression models (LR1 and LR2) were developed to predict in-hospital death for HF patients from the MIMIC-IV database. The MIMIC-III database were used for model validation. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) was used to compare the discrimination of each model. Calibration curve was used to assess the fit of each developed models. Decision curve analysis (DCA) was used to estimate the net benefit of the predictive model. RESULTS A total of 16,908 HF patients were finally enrolled through screening, of whom 2,283 (13.5%) presented with in-hospital death. Totally, 48 variables were included and analyzed in the univariate and multifactorial regression analysis. The AUCs for the LR1 and LR2 models in the test cohort were 0.751 (95% CI: 0.735∼0.767) and 0.766 (95% CI: 0.751-0.781), respectively. Both LR models performed well in the calibration curve and DCA process. Nomogram and online risk assessment system were used as visualization of predictive models. CONCLUSION A new risk prediction tool and an online risk assessment system were developed to predict mortality in HF patients, which performed well and might be used to guide clinical practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD) is a common complication of CKD; it is associated with higher mortality in dialysis patients, while its impact in non-dialysis patients remains mostly unknown. We investigated the associations between parathyroid hormone (PTH), phosphate and calcium (and their interactions), and all-cause, cardiovascular (CV) and non-CV mortality in older non-dialysis patients with advanced CKD. METHODS We used data from the European Quality study, which includes patients aged ≥65 years with estimated glomerular filtration rate ≤20 mL/min/1.73 m2 from six European countries. Sequentially adjusted Cox models were used to assess the association between baseline and time-dependent CKD-MBD biomarkers and all-cause, CV and non-CV mortality. Effect modification between biomarkers was also assessed. RESULTS In 1294 patients, the prevalence of CKD-MBD at baseline was 94%. Both PTH [adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) 1.12, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.03-1.23, P = .01] and phosphate (aHR 1.35, 95% CI 1.00-1.84, P = .05), but not calcium (aHR 1.11, 95% CI 0.57-2.17, P = .76), were associated with all-cause mortality. Calcium was not independently associated with mortality, but modified the effect of phosphate, with the highest mortality risk found in patients with both hypercalcemia and hyperphosphatemia. PTH level was associated with CV mortality, but not with non-CV mortality, whereas phosphate was associated with both CV and non-CV mortality in most models. CONCLUSIONS CKD-MBD is very common in older non-dialysis patients with advanced CKD. PTH and phosphate are independently associated with all-cause mortality in this population. While PTH level is only associated with CV mortality, phosphate seems to be associated with both CV and non-CV mortality.

Abstract
Background There remain controversies over the conclusion of different serum phosphate levels as prognostic predictors of sepsis patients. As such, this study investigated the association between different serum phosphate and the prognosis of sepsis. Methods Data from PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science were systematically retrieved from the inception of databases to June 1, 2023 and independently screened and extracted by two authors. Binary variables in the study were estimated as relative risk ratio (RR) and 95% confidence interval (CI), and continuous variables were estimated as mean and standard deviation. The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) was employed to evaluate the quality of the included studies, and subgroup analysis and sensitivity analysis were performed for all outcomes to explore the sources of heterogeneity. Results Ten studies were included in this study including 38,320 patients with sepsis or septic shock. Against normal serum phosphate levels, a high serum phosphate level was associated with an elevated all-cause mortality risk (RR = 1.46; 95% CI [1.22-1.74]; P = 0.000) and prolonged Intensive Care Unit (ICU) length of stay (LOS) (WMD = 0.63; 95% CI [0.27-0.98]; P = 0.001). However, there was no significant difference in the in-hospital LOS (WMD = 0.22; 95% CI [-0.61-1.05]; P = 0.609). A low serum phosphate level was not significantly associated with the all-cause mortality risk (RR = 0.97; 95% CI [0.86-1.09]; P = 0.588), ICU LOS (WMD = -0.23; 95% CI [-0.75-0.29]; P = 0.394) and in-hospital LOS (WMD = -0.62; 95% CI [-1.72-0.49]; P = 0.274). Conclusion Sepsis patients with high serum phosphate levels before therapeutic interventions were associated with a significant increase in the all-cause mortality risk, prolonged ICU LOS, and no significant difference in in-hospital LOS. Sepsis patients with low serum phosphate levels before interventions may have a reduced risk of all-cause mortality, shorter ICU LOS, and in-hospital LOS, but the results were not statistically significant.

Abstract
SCOPE Ultra-processing food (UPF) has been a nutrition and health interest. This study is aimed to investigate the association between UPF consumption and the risk of obesity or dyslipidemia. METHODS AND RESULTS This study is performed using an ongoing cohort study including 17 310 individuals aged ≥40 years in South Korea. UPF is categorized by the NOVA system and FCS, respectively. After an average 5-year follow-up, there is a positive association between NOVA-defined UPF and dyslipidemia. The risk of the Q4 group is almost 20% higher than that of the Q1 group (men, adjusted HR = 1.209 [95% CI 1.039-1.407], women, adjusted HR = 1.195 [95% CI 1.096-1.303]). Consuming high-FCS foods (less processed and healthier foods) show a lower risk for dyslipidemia in both sexes and lower obesity risk in women compared to low-FCS consumption (men, dyslipidemia, adjusted HR = 0.857 [95% CI 0.744-0.988]; women, dyslipidemia, adjusted HR = 0.919 [95% CI 0.850-0.993], obesity, adjusted HR = 0.759 [95% CI 0.628-0.916]). CONCLUSION Higher UPF intakes assessed by the NOVA system and FCS are associated with increased incidences of dyslipidemia and obesity. Furthermore, NOVA-defined UPF shows a statistically significant negative association with AMED score, indicating poor diet quality.

Abstract
Phosphate binders are the main treatment for hyperphosphatemia in patients with chronic kidney disease, and iron-based phosphate binders have been used with increasing frequency in recent years. This study examined the association of the use of iron-based, rather than non-iron-based, phosphate binders with the incidence of cardiovascular events, in a real-world setting. We used data from a cohort comprising representative adult patients on maintenance hemodialysis in Japan. The exposure of interest was the time-varying use of phosphate binders, classified into "iron-based", "only non-iron-based", and "no use". The primary outcome was a composite of cardiovascular events and all-cause deaths. A marginal structural Cox regression model was used to deal with possible time-dependent confounding. Of the 2247 patients from 58 hemodialysis facilities, iron-based and only non-iron-based phosphate binders were used in 328 (15%) and 1360 (61%), respectively, at baseline. Hazard ratios (95% confidence intervals) for iron-based and non-iron-based phosphate binders versus no use of phosphate binders were 0.35 (0.24, 0.52) and 0.44 (0.33, 0.58), respectively. The hazard ratio for iron-based relative to non-iron-based phosphate binders was 0.81 (0.58, 1.13), which was not statistically significant. Further studies are warranted to elucidate whether the use of iron-based phosphate binders reduces the event rate.

Abstract
Studies of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) related to exposure to toxic levels of dietary phosphate are lacking. Phosphate toxicity from dysregulated phosphate metabolism can negatively impact almost every major organ system of the body, including the central nervous system. The present paper used a grounded theory-literature review method to synthesise associations of dysregulated phosphate metabolism with the aetiology of ASD. Cell signalling in autism has been linked to an altered balance between phosphoinositide kinases, which phosphorylate proteins, and the counteracting effect of phosphatases in neuronal membranes. Glial cell overgrowth in the developing ASD brain can lead to disturbances in neuro-circuitry, neuroinflammation and immune responses which are potentially related to excessive inorganic phosphate. The rise in ASD prevalence has been suggested to originate in changes to the gut microbiome from increasing consumption of additives in processed food, including phosphate additives. Ketogenic diets and dietary patterns that eliminate casein also reduce phosphate intake, which may account for many of the suggested benefits of these diets in children with ASD. Dysregulated phosphate metabolism is causatively linked to comorbid conditions associated with ASD such as cancer, tuberous sclerosis, mitochondrial dysfunction, diabetes, epilepsy, obesity, chronic kidney disease, tauopathy, cardiovascular disease and bone mineral disorders. Associations and proposals presented in this paper offer novel insights and directions for future research linking the aetiology of ASD with dysregulated phosphate metabolism and phosphate toxicity from excessive dietary phosphorus intake.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an increasing health care problem. About 10% of the general population is affected by CKD, representing the sixth cause of death in the world. Cardiovascular events are the main mortality cause in CKD, with a cardiovascular risk 10 times higher in these patients than the rate observed in healthy subjects. The gradual decline of the kidney leads to the accumulation of uremic solutes with a negative effect on every organ, especially on the cardiovascular system. Mammalian models, sharing structural and functional similarities with humans, have been widely used to study cardiovascular disease mechanisms and test new therapies, but many of them are rather expensive and difficult to manipulate. Over the last few decades, zebrafish has become a powerful non-mammalian model to study alterations associated with human disease. The high conservation of gene function, low cost, small size, rapid growth, and easiness of genetic manipulation are just some of the features of this experimental model. More specifically, embryonic cardiac development and physiological responses to exposure to numerous toxin substances are similar to those observed in mammals, making zebrafish an ideal model to study cardiac development, toxicity, and cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
Intracellular phosphate is critical for cellular processes such as signaling, nucleic acid synthesis, and membrane function. Extracellular phosphate (Pi) is an important component of the skeleton. Normal levels of serum phosphate are maintained by the coordinated actions of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, parathyroid hormone and fibroblast growth factor-23, which intersect in the proximal tubule to control the reabsorption of phosphate via the sodium-phosphate cotransporters Npt2a and Npt2c. Furthermore, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 participates in the regulation of dietary phosphate absorption in the small intestine. Clinical manifestations associated with abnormal serum phosphate levels are common and occur as a result of genetic or acquired conditions affecting phosphate homeostasis. For example, chronic hypophosphatemia leads to osteomalacia in adults and rickets in children. Acute severe hypophosphatemia can affect multiple organs leading to rhabdomyolysis, respiratory dysfunction, and hemolysis. Patients with impaired kidney function, such as those with advanced CKD, have high prevalence of hyperphosphatemia, with approximately two-thirds of patients on chronic hemodialysis in the United States having serum phosphate levels above the recommended goal of 5.5 mg/dL, a cutoff associated with excess risk of cardiovascular complications. Furthermore, patients with advanced kidney disease and hyperphosphatemia (>6.5 mg/dL) have almost one-third excess risk of death than those with phosphate levels between 2.4 and 6.5 mg/dL. Given the complex mechanisms that regulate phosphate levels, the interventions to treat the various diseases associated with hypophosphatemia or hyperphosphatemia rely on the understanding of the underlying pathobiological mechanisms governing each patient condition.

Abstract
Hyperphosphatemia is an electrolyte disorder highly prevalent in patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis (HD) that usually requires treatment with oral phosphate binders (PBs). Sucroferric oxyhydroxide (SO) is a calcium-free, iron-based PB indicated for the control of serum phosphorus. In the real-world setting, SO has shown clinical effectiveness with a lower pill burden and has also been associated with reduced hospital admission rates. This study aims to assess the potential economic benefits resulting from the introduction of SO to the health-care setting of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). An economic analysis using data from a retrospective real-world study that compared HD patients with uninterrupted SO prescriptions with patients who discontinued SO and switched to other PBs (oPBs). Annual drug costs for the estimated PB-eligible population in KSA were quantified. Costs per responder were estimated for all treatments. Hospital admissions' incidence rates were converted into annual inpatient cost savings and were deducted from drug costs to estimate the annual economic effect of SO versus oPBs. Sensitivity and breakeven analyses were also conducted. The eligible population for PB therapy in KSA was estimated at n = 14,748. Treating therapy-eligible populations exclusively with SO was estimated to generate annual inpatient cost-savings of SAR 107.4-119.4 million compared to treating the population with oPBs. The estimated economic effect signified overall annual savings ranging from SAR 82.8 to SAR 94.8 million when the population is treated with SO. Sensitivity analyses showed persistent cost savings. The estimated benefit-cost ratios showed that for every SAR 1 spent on SO, the expected return on investment was SAR 4.4-4.9. SO is an effective therapy that may result in substantial cost savings from reducing hospital admission costs that are attributable to hyperphosphatemia among HD patients.

Abstract
Calciprotein particles (CPPs) represent an inherent mineral buffering system responsible for the scavenging of excessive Ca2+ and PO43- ions in order to prevent extraskeletal calcification, although contributing to the development of endothelial dysfunction during the circulation in the bloodstream. Here, we performed label-free proteomic profiling to identify the functional consequences of CPP internalisation by endothelial cells (ECs) and found molecular signatures of significant disturbances in mitochondrial and lysosomal physiology, including oxidative stress, vacuolar acidification, accelerated proteolysis, Ca2+ cytosolic elevation, and mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilisation. Incubation of intact ECs with conditioned medium from CPP-treated ECs caused their pro-inflammatory activation manifested by vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM1) and intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM1) upregulation and elevated release of interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1/ C-C motif ligand 2 (MCP-1/CCL2). Among the blood cells, monocytes were exclusively responsible for CPP internalisation. As compared to the co-incubation of donor blood with CPPs in the flow culture system, intravenous administration of CPPs to Wistar rats caused a considerably higher production of chemokines, indicating the major role of monocytes in CPP-triggered inflammation. Upregulation of sICAM-1 and IL-8 also suggested a notable contribution of endothelial dysfunction to systemic inflammatory response after CPP injections. Collectively, our results demonstrate the pathophysiological significance of CPPs and highlight the need for the development of anti-CPP therapies.

[PMID: 36248863 PMCID: PMC9562993 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2022.1006076] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/28/2022] [Accepted: 09/15/2022] [Indexed: 01/10/2023] Open
Abstract
Background The global burden of persistent COVID-19 in hemodialysis (HD) patients is a worrisome scenario worth of investigation for the critical care of chronic kidney disease (CKD). We performed an exploratory post-hoc study from the trial U1111-1237-8231 with two specific aims: i) to investigate the prevalence of COVID-19 infection and long COVID symptoms from our Cohort of 178 Brazilians HD patients. ii) to identify whether baseline characteristics should predict long COVID in this sample. Methods 247 community-dwelling older (>60 years) patients (Men and women) undergoing HD (glomerular filtration rate < 15 mL/min/1.73m2) with arteriovenous fistula volunteered for this study. All patients presented hypertension and diabetes. Patients were divided in two groups: without long-COVID and with long-COVID. Body composition, handgrip strength, functional performance, iron metabolism, phosphate, and inflammatory profile were assessed. Patients were screened for 11-months after COVID-19 infection. Results were considered significant at P < 0.05. Results We found that more than 85% of the COVID-19 infected patients presented a severe condition during the infection. In our sample, the mortality rate over 11-month follow was relatively low (8.4%) when compared to worldwide (approximately 36%). Long COVID was highly prevalent in COVID-19 survivors representing more than 80% of all cases. Phosphate and IL-10 were higher in the long COVID group, but only phosphate higher than 5.35 mg/dL appears to present an increased prevalence of long COVID, dyspnea, and fatigue. Conclusion There was a high prevalence of COVID-19 infection and long COVID in HD patients from the Brazilian trial ‘U1111-1237-8231’. HD clinics should be aware with phosphate range in HD patients as a possible target for adverse post-COVID events.

Abstract
Cerebral small-vessel disease (CSVD) has been found to have a strong association with vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) and functional loss in elderly patients. At present, the diagnosis of CSVD mainly relies on brain neuroimaging markers, but they cannot fully reflect the overall picture of the disease. Currently, some biomarkers were found to be related to CSVD, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. We aimed to systematically review and summarize studies on the progress of biomarkers related to the pathogenesis of CSVD, which is mainly the relationship between these indicators and neuroimaging markers of CSVD. Concerning the pathophysiological mechanism of CSVD, the biomarkers of CSVD have been described as several categories related to sporadic and genetic factors. Monitoring of biomarkers might contribute to the early diagnosis and progression prediction of CSVD, thus providing ideas for better diagnosis and treatment of CSVD.

Abstract
Hyperphosphatemia eventually develops in almost all patients with advanced chronic kidney disease and is associated with negative clinical outcomes. Thus, guidelines recommend targeting treatment to normal phosphate levels in patients with chronic kidney disease. Despite low phosphorus diets, clearance by dialysis, and phosphate binder use, many patients with chronic kidney disease on dialysis are unable to consistently achieve and maintain serum phosphate concentrations <5.5 mg/dL. A chart audit of patients on dialysis receiving phosphate binders showed that 74 to 86% were unable to consistently achieve serum phosphate ≤5.5 mg/dL over 6 months. Furthermore, although there is evidence that serum phosphate concentrations <4.5 mg/dL are associated with improved survival and cardiovascular outcomes, real-world phosphate control data suggest achieving and maintaining this goal for most patients would be extremely challenging, if not near impossible, using current therapies. As phosphate binders can only remove approximately 300 mg of the 2,500 mg or more daily dietary phosphate intake, therapeutic innovations are necessary to improve phosphate management. We present treatment options to complement current therapies including tenapanor, a novel sodium/hydrogen exchanger isoform 3 inhibitor that blocks the dominant paracellular phosphate absorption pathway and has been shown to reduce phosphate levels in several clinical trials.

Abstract
Objective Although an association between serum inorganic phosphorus levels and a poor prognosis has been noted in dialysis patients, these associations have been insufficiently reported in non-dialysis-dependent chronic kidney disease (NDD-CKD) patients. This study attempted to determine the association between serum inorganic phosphorus levels and adverse outcomes in Japanese NDD-CKD patients. Methods We investigated the relationships between serum inorganic phosphorus levels and adverse outcomes, such as kidney events, cardiovascular events, and all-cause death, in Japanese NDD-CKD patients using longitudinal data from the Fukushima CKD Cohort Study with a median follow-up period of 2.8 years. The study evaluated 822 patients with NDD-CKD enrolled between June 2012 and July 2014. A kidney event was defined as a combination of doubling of the baseline serum creatinine or end-stage renal disease. Cox regression was performed to analyze the relationships of the quartile of the serum inorganic phosphorus with kidney events, cardiovascular events, and all-cause death. Results The frequency of kidney events per 1,000 person-years exhibited a U-shaped distribution based on serum inorganic phosphorus levels, with these levels not significantly associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events and all-cause death. A multivariable Cox regression analysis showed an increased risk of kidney events for the highest quartile of the serum inorganic phosphorus levels (≥3.7 mg/dL) versus the second quartile (2.9-3.2 mg/dL, hazard ratio, 3.30; 95% confidence interval, 1.50-7.28; p=0.003). There were no significant associations between the serum calcium levels and adverse outcomes. Conclusion Serum inorganic phosphorus levels were associated with an increased risk of CKD progression in Japanese NDD-CKD patients.

Abstract
Introduction Individuals with type 2 diabetes have a substantially elevated cardiovascular risk. A higher plasma phosphate level promotes vascular calcification, which may adversely affect outcomes in individuals with type 2 diabetes. We hypothesized that the association between plasma phosphate and all-cause mortality is stronger in individuals with type 2 diabetes, compared to those without diabetes. Methods We analysed the association between plasma phosphate and all-cause mortality in the Dutch population-based Lifelines cohort and in subgroups with and without type 2 diabetes, using multivariable Cox regression adjusted for potential confounders. Effect modification was tested using multiplicative interaction terms. Results We included 57,170 individuals with 9.4 [8.8–10.4] years follow-up. Individuals within the highest phosphate tertile (range 1.00–1.83 mmol/L) were at higher risk of all-cause mortality (fully adjusted HR 1.18 [95% CI 1.02–1.36], p = 0.02), compared with the intermediate tertile (range 0.85–0.99 mmol/L). We found significant effect modification by baseline type 2 diabetes status (p-interaction = 0.003). Within the type 2 diabetes subgroup (N = 1790), individuals within the highest plasma phosphate tertile had an increased mortality risk (HR 1.73 [95% CI 1.10–2.72], p = 0.02 vs intermediate tertile). In individuals without diabetes at baseline (N = 55,380), phosphate was not associated with mortality (HR 1.12 [95% CI 0.96–1.31], p = 0.14). Results were similar after excluding individuals with eGFR < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2. Discussion High-normal plasma phosphate levels were associated with all-cause mortality in individuals with type 2 diabetes. The association was weaker and non-significant in those without diabetes. Measurement of phosphate levels should be considered in type 2 diabetes; whether lowering phosphate levels can improve health outcomes in diabetes requires further study.

Abstract
Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have an elevated prevalence of atheromatous (ATH) and/or non-atheromatous (non-ATH) cardiovascular disease (CVD) due to an array of CKD-related risk factors, such as uremic toxins (UTs). Indeed, UTs have a major role in the emergence of a spectrum of CVDs, which constitute the leading cause of death in patients with end-stage renal disease. The European Uremic Toxin Work Group has identified over 100 UTs, more than 25 of which are dietary or gut-derived. Even though relationships between UTs and CVDs have been described in the literature, there are few reviews on the involvement of the most toxic compounds and the corresponding physiopathologic mechanisms. Here, we review the scientific literature on the dietary and gut-derived UTs with the greatest toxicity in vitro and in vivo. A better understanding of these toxins' roles in the elevated prevalence of CVDs among CKD patients might facilitate the development of targeted treatments. Hence, we review (i) ATH and non-ATH CVDs and the respective levels of risk in patients with CKD and (ii) the mechanisms that underlie the influence of dietary and gut-derived UTs on CVDs.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
A missense gain-of-function fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF23) gene single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) (rs7955866) has been associated with FGF23 hypersecretion, phosphaturia, and bone disease. Excess circulating FGF23 was linked with atherosclerosis, hypertension, initiation, and progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD).
Methods
The study included 72 CKD stage 2/3 Egyptian patients (27–71 years old, 37 females) and 26 healthy controls matching in age and sex. Repeated measures of blood pressure were used to quantify hypertension on a semiquantitative scale (grades 0 to 5). Fasting serum urea, creatinine, uric acid, total proteins, albumin, calcium, phosphorus, vitamin D3, intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH), and intact FGF23 (iFGF23) were measured. DNA extracted from peripheral blood leucocytes was used for genotyping of FGF23 rs7955866 SNP using the TaqMan SNP genotyping allelic discrimination method.
Results
Major causes of CKD were hypertension, diabetic kidney disease, and CKD of unknown etiology. There was no significant difference in minor allele (A) frequency between the studied groups (0.333 in GI and 0.308 in GII). Median (IQR) serum iFGF23 was significantly higher in GI [729.2 (531.9–972.3)] than in GII [126.1 (88.5–152.4)] pg/mL, P < 0.001. Within GI, the minor allele (A) frequency load, coded for codominant inheritance, had a significant positive correlation with both hypertension grade (r = 0.385, P = 0.001) and serum iFGF23 (r = 0.259, P = 0.028). Hypertension grade had a significant positive correlation with serum phosphorus and iFGF23.
Conclusions
For the first time in an Egyptian cohort, we report a relatively high frequency of the rs7955866 SNP. It may remain dormant or become upregulated in response to some environmental triggers, notably dietary phosphorus excess, leading to increased circulating iFGF23 with ensuing hypertension and/or renal impairment. Subjects with this SNP, particularly in the homozygous form, are at increased risk for CKD of presumably “unknown” etiology, with a tendency for early onset hypertension and increased circulating iFGF23 out of proportion with the degree of renal impairment. Large-scale population studies are needed to confirm these findings and explore the role of blockers of the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system and sodium chloride cotransporters in mitigating hypertension associated with FGF23 excess.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION A high incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) events and premature mortality is observed in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Thus, new biomarkers that may help predict the development of CVD in early stages of CKD are being investigated along with other traditional risk factors. OBJECTIVE To investigate cathepsin S as an early biomarker for CVD in patients with CKD. METHODS A total of 64 patients with CKD were included and classified into 2 groups: CKD patients with established CVD and CKD patients with non-established CVD. All patients were submitted to routine investigations including complete blood count, random blood sugar, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), serum electrolytes, urea, creatinine, total protein, total albumin, calcium total, phosphorous, uric acid, vitamin D, parathormone, lipid profile, liver function test, measurement of serum cathepsin S (Cat S), and 2D Echo of the heart. RESULTS The level of serum Cat S was increased in CKD patients with CVD (p <0.05) as well as in later stages of CKD (p <0.05). CVD was also more common in patients in early stage CKD. In early stages CKD, Cat S and CVD were positively correlated. CONCLUSION These findings suggest that serum Cat S might be useful as an early biomarker for CVD in CKD patients.

Abstract
Serum calcium and phosphate levels are controlled by a regulatory system, but their individual concentration tendencies and interactions may affect long-term vascular health. This study aimed to assess the effects of serum calcium and phosphate levels on incident ischemic heart disease (IHD) in a large-scale community-dwelling Korean cohort. We evaluated 15,259 non-diabetic individuals (median age, 45 years; range, 30–85) without previous IHD or ischemic stroke using the Korean National Health Insurance data. The study population was classified based on the calcium, phosphate, and calcium/phosphate ratios. Using Cox proportional hazards regression models, we estimated hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for IHD over 50 months after baseline enrolment. The age- and sex-adjusted incidence of IHD gradually increased with serum calcium and phosphate quartiles and decreased with calcium/phosphate ratio quartiles, with an overall crude rate of 2.1% (315/15,259). After setting the lowest calcium, phosphate, and calcium/phosphate ratio quartiles as a reference group, the HRs (95% CIs) of the highest calcium, phosphate, and calcium/phosphate ratio quartiles for IHD were 1.77 (1.15–2.72), 1.73 (1.18–2.55), and 0.58 (0.39–0.87), respectively, after adjusting for potential confounding variables. Serum calcium and phosphate levels were positively associated with IHD incidence, while the serum calcium/phosphate ratio exhibited an inverse relationship. Serum calcium and phosphate homeostasis may merit serious consideration to understand the pathogenesis of coronary atherosclerosis as a risk modifier for IHD.

Abstract
An association between high serum calcium/phosphate and cardiovascular events or death is well-established. However, a mechanistic explanation of this correlation is lacking. Here, we examined the role of calciprotein particles (CPPs), nanoscale bodies forming in the human blood upon its supersaturation with calcium and phosphate, in cardiovascular disease. The serum of patients with coronary artery disease or cerebrovascular disease displayed an increased propensity to form CPPs in combination with elevated ionised calcium as well as reduced albumin levels, altogether indicative of reduced Ca2+-binding capacity. Intravenous administration of CPPs to normolipidemic and normotensive Wistar rats provoked intimal hyperplasia and adventitial/perivascular inflammation in both balloon-injured and intact aortas in the absence of other cardiovascular risk factors. Upon the addition to primary human arterial endothelial cells, CPPs induced lysosome-dependent cell death, promoted the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, stimulated leukocyte adhesion, and triggered endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition. We concluded that CPPs, which are formed in the blood as a result of altered mineral homeostasis, cause endothelial dysfunction and vascular inflammation, thereby contributing to the development of cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
Phosphate absorption occurs in the gastrointestinal tract through paracellular absorption and transcellular transport. The paracellular pathway does not saturate and has a significantly higher absorption capacity than does the transcellular pathway. Evidence indicates that this pathway is the primary mechanism of intestinal phosphate absorption, particularly with Western diets containing high amounts of phosphorus. Elevated serum phosphorus concentrations are associated with cardiovascular morbidity and mortality but serum phosphorus concentrations > 5.5 mg/dL are highly prevalent despite best efforts with dietary phosphate restriction, dialysis, and the use of phosphate binders. The efficacy of phosphate binders may be inherently limited because the mechanism of action does not target any phosphate absorption pathway. Thus, therapeutic innovations are needed to address the limitations of phosphate binders. Novel therapies leveraging new mechanistic understandings of phosphate absorption and the primacy of the paracellular pathway may improve phosphate control. Phosphate absorption inhibitors that target the pathway are a novel therapeutic class. Tenapanor is an investigational first-in-class nonbinder phosphate absorption inhibitor that inhibits the sodium-hydrogen exchanger isoform 3 to reduce paracellular permeability specific to phosphate. Phosphate absorption inhibitors may represent a new mechanistic approach to phosphate management with the potential to improve clinical outcomes.

Abstract
Objective The geriatric population suffers from a predisposition to cardiac events due to physiologic changes commonly associated with aging. The majority of the trauma population seen at our facility is within the geriatric population (greater than 65 years old). Therefore, this study was aimed to determine which of those preexisting factors were associated with an increased risk for developing cardiac event. By assessing those risks, we hoped to determine a timeline for the highest risk of cardiac event occurrence, in order to identify a safe period of when cardiac monitoring was indicated. Methods A retrospective study performed over 6 months reviewing geriatric trauma patients with hip, pelvis, or femur fractures, n = 125. A list of predetermined risk factors including comorbidities, pathologies, laboratory values, electrocardiogram findings, and surgery was crossed with the patient's records in order to identify factors for increased risk of cardiac event. Once patients who had documented cardiac events were identified, a temporal pattern of cardiac event occurrence was analyzed in order to determine a period when noninvasive cardiac monitoring should remain in place. Results In 125 patients, 40 cardiac events occurred in 30 patients. The analyzed variables with statistically significant associations for having a cardiac event were comorbidities (p = 0.019), elevated body mass index (p = 0.001), abnormal initial phosphorus (p = 0.002), and an electrocardiogram finding of other than normal sinus rhythm (p = 0.020). Of the identified cardiac events, we found that by hospital day 3 68% of cardiac event had occurred, with 85% by hospital day 4, 95% by day 5, and 100% within the first 7 days of admission. Conclusion Patient history of cardiac comorbidities, elevated body mass index, abnormal phosphorus, and abnormal electrocardiogram findings were found to be significant risk factors for cardiac event development in geriatric trauma. All recorded events in our study occurred within 7 days of the initial trauma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Higher ultra-processed food intake has been linked with several cardiometabolic and cardiovascular diseases. However, prospective evidence from US populations remains scarce. OBJECTIVES To test the hypothesis that higher intake of ultra-processed foods is associated with higher risk of coronary artery disease. METHODS A total of 13,548 adults aged 45-65 y from the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities study were included in the analytic sample. Dietary intake data were collected through a 66-item FFQ. Ultra-processed foods were defined using the NOVA classification, and the level of intake (servings/d) was calculated for each participant and divided into quartiles. We used Cox proportional hazards models and restricted cubic splines to assess the association between quartiles of ultra-processed food intake and incident coronary artery disease. RESULTS There were 2006 incident coronary artery disease cases documented over a median follow-up of 27 y. Incidence rates were higher in the highest quartile of ultra-processed food intake (70.8 per 10,000 person-y; 95% CI: 65.1, 77.1) compared with the lowest quartile (59.3 per 10,000 person-y; 95% CI: 54.1, 65.0). Participants in the highest compared with lowest quartile of ultra-processed food intake had a 19% higher risk of coronary artery disease (HR: 1.19; 95% CI: 1.05, 1.35) after adjusting for sociodemographic factors and health behaviors. An approximately linear relation was observed between ultra-processed food intake and risk of coronary artery disease. CONCLUSIONS Higher ultra-processed food intake was associated with a higher risk of coronary artery disease among middle-aged US adults. Further prospective studies are needed to confirm these findings and to investigate the mechanisms by which ultra-processed foods may affect health.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease-mineral bone disorder (CKD-MBD) is a common comorbidity in patients with CKD. Characterized by laboratory abnormalities, bone abnormality, and vascular calcification, CKD-MBD encompasses a group of mineral and hormone disturbances that are strongly associated with increased cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality. Abnormal serum phosphate concentrations are an independent risk factor for CV morbidity and mortality, and overall mortality. Phosphate retention plays a central role in initiating and driving many other disturbances in CKD-MBD (e.g., increased parathyroid hormone and fibroblast growth factor 23 concentrations, hypocalcemia, low vitamin D) that are also linked to increased CV risk. Thus, effective phosphate control is a logical therapeutic target for CKD-MBD treatment. Current phosphate management strategies (dietary restrictions, dialysis, phosphate binders) are insufficient to consistently achieve and maintain target phosphate concentrations in patients on dialysis. Phosphate binders reduce available phosphate for intestinal absorption but do not impair the dominant phosphate absorption pathway. Novel therapies that consider new mechanistic understandings of intestinal phosphate absorption are needed. One such therapy is tenapanor, a targeted sodium-hydrogen exchanger isoform 3 inhibitor that has been shown to reduce serum phosphate concentrations in multiple clinical trials. Tenapanor has a novel mechanism of action that reduces intestinal phosphate absorption in the primary paracellular phosphate absorption pathway.

Abstract
Diabetes is associated with a strongly elevated risk of cardiovascular disease, which is even more pronounced in patients with diabetic nephropathy. Currently available guideline-based efforts to correct traditional risk factors are only partly able to attenuate this risk, underlining the urge to identify novel treatment targets. Emerging data point towards a role for disturbances in phosphate metabolism in diabetes. In this review, we discuss the role of phosphate and the phosphate-regulating hormone fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) in diabetes. We address deregulations of phosphate metabolism in patients with diabetes, including diabetic ketoacidosis. Moreover, we discuss potential adverse consequences of these deregulations, including the role of deregulated phosphate and glucose as drivers of vascular calcification propensity. Finally, we highlight potential treatment options to correct abnormalities in phosphate and FGF23. While further studies are needed to more precisely assess their clinical impact, deregulations in phosphate and FGF23 are promising potential target in diabetes and diabetic nephropathy.

Abstract
Dietary habits in the western world lead to increasing phosphate intake. Under physiological conditions, extraosseous precipitation of phosphate with calcium is prevented by a mineral buffering system composed of calcification inhibitors and tight control of serum phosphate levels. The coordinated hormonal regulation of serum phosphate involves fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), αKlotho, parathyroid hormone (PTH) and calcitriol. A severe derangement of phosphate homeostasis is observed in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), a patient collective with extremely high risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Higher phosphate levels in serum have been associated with increased risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) in CKD patients, but also in the general population. The causal connections between phosphate and CVD are currently incompletely understood. An assumed link between phosphate and cardiovascular risk is the development of medial vascular calcification, a process actively promoted and regulated by a complex mechanistic interplay involving activation of pro-inflammatory signalling. Emerging evidence indicates a link between disturbances in phosphate homeostasis and inflammation. The present review focuses on critical interactions of phosphate homeostasis, inflammation, vascular calcification and CVD. Especially, pro-inflammatory responses mediating hyperphosphatemia-related development of vascular calcification as well as FGF23 as a critical factor in the interplay between inflammation and cardiovascular alterations, beyond its phosphaturic effects, are addressed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major cause of death in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) on dialysis. Mortality rates are still unacceptably high even though they have fallen in the past 2 decades. Hyperphosphatemia (elevated serum phosphate levels) is seen in almost all patients with advanced CKD and is by far the largest remaining modifiable contributor to CKD mortality. SUMMARY Phosphate retention drives multiple physiological mechanisms linked to increased risk of CVD. Fibroblast growth factor 23 and parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels, both of which have been suggested to have direct pathogenic CV effects, increase in response to phosphate retention. Phosphate, calcium, and PTH levels are linked in a progressively worsening cycle. Maladaptive upregulation of phosphate absorption is also likely to occur further exacerbating hyperphosphatemia. Even higher phosphate levels within the normal range may be a risk factor for vascular calcification and, thus, CV morbidity and mortality. A greater degree of phosphate control is important to reduce the risk of CV morbidity and mortality. Improved phosphate control and regular monitoring of phosphate levels are guideline-recommended, established clinical practices. There are several challenges with the current phosphate management approaches in patients with CKD on dialysis. Dietary restriction of phosphate and thrice-weekly dialysis alone are insufficient/unreliable to reduce phosphate to <5.5 mg/dL. Even with the addition of phosphate binders, the only pharmacological treatment currently indicated for hyperphosphatemia, the majority of patients are unable to achieve and maintain phosphate levels <5.5 mg/dL (or more normal levels) [PhosLo® gelcaps (calcium acetate): 667 mg (prescribing information), 2011, VELPHORO®: (Sucroferric oxyhydroxide) (prescribing information), 2013, FOSRENAL®: (Lanthanum carbonate) (prescribing information), 2016, AURYXIA®: (Ferric citrate) tablets (prescribing information), 2017, RENVELA®: (Sevelamer carbonate) (prescribing information), 2020, RealWorld dynamix. Dialysis US: Spherix Global Insights, 2019]. Phosphate binders do not target the primary pathway of phosphate absorption (paracellular), have limited binding capacity, and bind nonspecifically [PhosLo® gelcaps (calcium acetate): 667 mg (prescribing information). 2013, VELPHORO®: (Sucroferric oxyhydroxide) (prescribing information), 2013, FOSRENAL®: (Lanthanum carbonate) (prescribing information), 2016, AURYXIA®: (Ferric citrate) tablets (prescribing information), 2017, RENVELA®: (Sevelamer carbonate) (prescribing information) 2020]. Key Messages: Despite current phosphate management strategies, most patients on dialysis are unable to consistently achieve target phosphate levels, indicating a need for therapeutic innovations [RealWorld dynamix. Dialysis US: Spherix Global Insights, 2019]. Given a growing evidence base that the dominant mechanism of phosphate absorption is the intestinal paracellular pathway, new therapies are investigating ways to reduce phosphate levels by blocking absorption through the paracellular pathway.

Abstract
Background Early identification of healthy arterial aging versus premature atherosclerosis is important for optimal atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk stratification and prevention. We sought to identify predictors for the long‐term absence of carotid plaque among young adults. Methods and Results We included 508 participants from the Bogalusa Heart Study without clinical atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease who were free of carotid plaque at baseline (2001–2002) and underwent ultrasound imaging at follow‐up (2013–2016). Modified Poisson regression estimated the persistent absence of plaque over 12.8 years. Participants were on average age 36.2 years at baseline, 64% were women, and 29% were Black. Although nearly all participants (97%) had a 10‐year atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk <7.5%, there were 162 people (32%) who developed premature atherosclerosis. Aside from younger age (risk ratio [RR], 1.21; 95% CI, 1.07–1.36, per 10 years) and a total cholesterol/high‐density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio <3.5 (RR, 1.15; 95% CI, 1.01–1.30), normal values of traditional risk factors did not predict long‐term absence of plaque. Independent from traditional markers including glomerular filtration rate, serum calcium‐phosphate product (RR, 1.07; 95% CI, 1.01–1.14, per 1‐SD lower), phosphate (RR, 1.15; 95% CI, 1.03–1.29, per 1 mg/dL lower), and dietary sodium <2300 mg/day (RR, 1.20; 95% CI, 1.02–1.41) were significantly associated with the non‐development of plaque. Conclusions Nearly one third of young adults with a low burden of traditional risk factors developed premature atherosclerosis. Beyond younger age and an ideal lipoprotein profile, lower calcium‐phosphate homeostasis and low sodium intake were associated with long‐term absence of carotid plaque. These results suggest that dietary and intrinsic minerals are early contributors to the development of arterial aging phenotypes.

THE EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF HEALTH ECONOMICS : HEPAC : HEALTH ECONOMICS IN PREVENTION AND CARE 2021; 22:571-584. [PMID: 33677736 PMCID: PMC8166732 DOI: 10.1007/s10198-021-01275-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/21/2020] [Accepted: 02/18/2021] [Indexed: 05/06/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Uncontrolled hyperphosphatemia in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients commonly results in vascular calcification leading to increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Phosphate binders (PBs) are used for hyperphosphatemia and can be calcium-based (CBPBs) or non-calcium-based (NCBPBs), the latter being more expensive than CBPBs. In this study, we used meta-analysis approaches to assess the cost-utility of PBs for hyperphosphatemia in CKD patients. METHODS Relevant studies published prior to June 2019 were identified from PubMed, Scopus, the Cochrane Library, the National Health Service Economic Evaluation Database, and the Cost-Effectiveness Analysis Registry. Studies were eligible if they included CKD patients with hyperphosphatemia, compared any PBs and reported economic outcomes. Meta-analysis was applied to pool incremental net benefit (INB) across studies stratified by country income. RESULTS A total of 25 studies encompassing 32 comparisons were eligible. Lanthanum carbonate, a NCBPB, was a more cost-effective option than CBPBs in high-income countries (HICs), with a pooled INB of $3984.4 (599.5-7369.4), especially in pre-dialysis patients and used as a second-line option with INBs of $4860.2 (641.5-9078.8), $4011.0 (533.7-7488.3), respectively. Sevelamer, also a NCBPB, was not more cost-effective as a first-line option compared to CBPBs with a pooled INB of $6045.8 (- 23,453.0 to 35,522.6) and $34,168.9 (- 638.0 to 68,975.7) in HICs and upper middle-income countries, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Lanthanum carbonate was significantly more cost-effective than CBPBs as a second-line option for hyperphosphatemia in pre-dialysis patients in HICs. However, the use of sevelamer is not more cost-effective as a first-line option compared to CBPBs.

Effect of Treating Hyperphosphatemia With Lanthanum Carbonate vs Calcium Carbonate on Cardiovascular Events in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease Undergoing Hemodialysis: The LANDMARK Randomized Clinical Trial. JAMA 2021; 325:1946-1954. [PMID: 34003226 PMCID: PMC8132143 DOI: 10.1001/jama.2021.4807] [Citation(s) in RCA: 38] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/13/2020] [Accepted: 03/12/2021] [Indexed: 11/14/2022]
Abstract
Importance Among patients with hyperphosphatemia undergoing dialysis, it is unclear whether non-calcium-based phosphate binders are more effective than calcium-based binders for reducing cardiovascular events. Objective To determine whether lanthanum carbonate reduces cardiovascular events compared with calcium carbonate in patients with hyperphosphatemia at risk of vascular calcification undergoing hemodialysis. Design, Setting, and Participants Open-label, randomized, parallel-group clinical trial with blinded end point adjudication performed in 2374 patients with chronic kidney disease from 273 hemodialysis facilities in Japan. Eligible patients had hyperphosphatemia and 1 or more risk factors for vascular calcification (ie, ≥65 years, postmenopausal, diabetes). Enrollment occurred from November 2011 to July 2014; follow-up ended June 2018. Interventions Patients were randomized to receive either lanthanum carbonate (n = 1154) or calcium carbonate (n = 1155) and titrated to achieve serum phosphate levels of between 3.5 mg/dL and 6.0 mg/dL. Main Outcomes and Measures The primary outcome was a composite cardiovascular event (cardiovascular death, nonfatal myocardial infarction or stroke, unstable angina, transient ischemic attack, or hospitalization for heart failure or ventricular arrhythmia). Secondary outcomes included overall survival, secondary hyperparathyroidism-free survival, hip fracture-free survival, and adverse events. Results Among 2309 randomized patients (median age, 69 years; 40.5% women), 1851 (80.2%) completed the trial. After a median follow-up of 3.16 years, cardiovascular events occurred in 147 of 1063 patients in the lanthanum calcium group and 134 of 1072 patients in the calcium carbonate group (incidence rate, 4.80 vs 4.30 per 100 person-years; difference 0.50 per 100 person-years [95% CI, -0.57 to 1.56]; hazard ratio [HR], 1.11 [95%, CI, 0.88 to 1.41], P = .37). There were no significant differences in all-cause death (difference, 0.43 per 100 person-years [95% CI, -0.63 to 1.49]; HR, 1.10 [95% CI, 0.88 to 1.37]; P = .42) or hip fracture (difference, 0.10 per 100 person-years [95% CI, -0.26 to 0.47]; HR, 1.21 [95% CI, 0.62 to 2.35]; P = .58). The lanthanum carbonate group had an increased risk of cardiovascular death (difference, 0.61 per 100 person-years [95% CI, 0.02 to 1.21]; HR, 1.51 [95% CI, 1.01 to 2.27]; P = .045) and secondary hyperparathyroidism (difference, 1.34 [95% CI, 0.49 to 2.19]; HR, 1.62 [95% CI, 1.19 to 2.20]; P = .002). Adverse events occurred in 282 (25.7%) in the lanthanum carbonate group and 259 (23.4%) in the calcium carbonate groups. Conclusions and Relevance Among patients undergoing hemodialysis with hyperphosphatemia and at least 1 vascular calcification risk factor, treatment of hyperphosphatemia with lanthanum carbonate compared with calcium carbonate did not result in a significant difference in composite cardiovascular events. However, the event rate was low, and the findings may not apply to patients at higher risk.

Abstract
Aortic stenosis (AS) remains one of the most common forms of valve disease, with significant impact on patient survival. The disease is characterized by left ventricular outflow obstruction and encompasses a series of stenotic lesions starting from the left ventricular outflow tract to the descending aorta. Obstructions may be subvalvar, valvar, or supravalvar and can be present at birth (congenital) or acquired later in life. Bicuspid aortic valve, whereby the aortic valve forms with two instead of three cusps, is the most common cause of AS in younger patients due to primary anatomic narrowing of the valve. In addition, the secondary onset of premature calcification, likely induced by altered hemodynamics, further obstructs left ventricular outflow in bicuspid aortic valve patients. In adults, degenerative AS involves progressive calcification of an anatomically normal, tricuspid aortic valve and is attributed to lifelong exposure to multifactoral risk factors and physiological wear-and-tear that negatively impacts valve structure-function relationships. AS continues to be the most frequent valvular disease that requires intervention, and aortic valve replacement is the standard treatment for patients with severe or symptomatic AS. While the positive impacts of surgical interventions are well documented, the financial burden, the potential need for repeated procedures, and operative risks are substantial. In addition, the clinical management of asymptomatic patients remains controversial. Therefore, there is a critical need to develop alternative approaches to prevent the progression of left ventricular outflow obstruction, especially in valvar lesions. This review summarizes our current understandings of AS cause; beginning with developmental origins of congenital valve disease, and leading into the multifactorial nature of AS in the adult population.

Abstract
Vascular calcification (VC), which is closely associated with significant mortality in cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease (CKD), and/or diabetes mellitus, is characterized by abnormal deposits of hydroxyapatite minerals in the arterial wall. The impact of oxidative stress (OS) on the onset and progression of VC has not been well described. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidases, xanthine oxidases, myeloperoxidase (MPO), nitric oxide synthases (NOSs), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and paraoxonases (PONs) are relevant factors that influence the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Furthermore, excess ROS-induced OS has emerged as a critical mediator promoting VC through several mechanisms, including phosphate balance, differentiation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), inflammation, DNA damage, and extracellular matrix remodeling. Because OS is a significant regulator of VC, antioxidants may be considered as novel treatment options.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic kidney disease is associated with a high cardiovascular risk. Compared with glomerular filtration rate-matched CKD patients (CKDps), we previously reported a 2.7-fold greater risk of global mortality among kidney transplant recipients (KTRs). We then examined aortic stiffness [evaluated by carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (CF-PWV)] and cardiovascular risk in KTRs compared with CKDps with comparable measured glomerular filtration rate (mGFR). METHODS We analysed CF-PWV in two cohorts: TransplanTest (KTRs) and NephroTest (CKDps). Propensity scores were calculated including six variables: mGFR, age, sex, mean blood pressure (MBP), body mass index (BMI) and heart rate. After propensity score matching, we included 137 KTRs and 226 CKDps. Descriptive data were completed by logistic regression for CF-PWV values higher than the median (>10.6 m/s). RESULTS At 12 months post-transplant, KTRs had significantly lower CF-PWV than CKDps (10.1 versus 11.0 m/s, P = 0.008) despite no difference at 3 months post-transplant (10.5 versus 11.0 m/s, P = 0.242). A lower occurrence of high arterial stiffness was noted among KTRs compared with CKDps (38.0% versus 57.1%, P < 0.001). It was especially associated with lower mGFR, older age, higher BMI, higher MBP, diabetes and higher serum parathyroid hormone levels. After adjustment, the odds ratio for the risk of high arterial stiffness in KTRs was 0.40 (95% confidence interval 0.23-0.68, P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Aortic stiffness was significantly less marked in KTRs 1 year post-transplant than in CKDps matched for GFR and other variables. This observation is compatible with the view that the pathogenesis of post-transplant cardiovascular disease differs, at least in part, from that of CKD per se.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease is a frequent complication and the most common cause of death in patients with CKD. Despite landmark medical advancements, mortality due to cardiovascular disease is still 20 times higher in CKD patients than in the general population, which is mainly due to the high prevalence of risk factors in this group. Indeed, in addition to traditional cardiovascular risk factors, CKD patients are exposed to nontraditional ones, which include metabolic, hormonal, and inflammatory alterations. The global severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic has brought novel challenges for both cardiologists and nephrologists alike. Emerging evidence indicates that coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) increases the risk of cardiovascular events and that several aspects of the disease may synergize with pre-existing cardiovascular risk factors in CKD patients. A better understanding of these mechanisms is pivotal for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular events in this context, and we believe that additional clinical and experimental studies are needed to improve cardiovascular outcomes in CKD patients with COVID-19. In this review, we provide a summary of traditional and nontraditional cardiovascular risk factors in CKD patients, discussing their interaction with SARS-CoV-2 infection and focusing on CO-VID-19-related cardiovascular complications that may severely affect short- and long-term outcomes in this high-risk population.

Efficacy and Safety of a Novel Nicotinamide Modified-Release Formulation in the Treatment of Refractory Hyperphosphatemia in Patients Receiving Hemodialysis-A Randomized Clinical Trial. Kidney Int Rep 2021; 6:594-604.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Despite widespread use of phosphate binders (PBs), phosphate control is insufficient in many hemodialysis patients. Preliminary clinical observations suggest that nicotinamide may act synergistically with PBs to improve phosphate control. METHODS This multinational, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study evaluated the efficacy and safety of nicotinamide modified release (NAMR) in combination with oral PB in a large cohort of hemodialysis patients with abnormal serum phosphate concentration (>4.5 mg/dl) despite treatment with PB. Patients entered a proof-of-efficacy phase (12 weeks [W12]) in which adjustments of relevant comedication were not permitted, followed by a safety extension phase for up to 52 weeks. Here, we report the results of the first phase. RESULTS The intention-to-treat (ITT) population consisted of 539 patients in the NAMR and 183 patients in the placebo group. NAMR and placebo were orally administered once daily (250-1500 mg/d). Mean age of patients was 61.8 years, and 63.0% were men. In the confirmatory analysis that estimated the difference in serum phosphate concentration after 12 weeks, NAMR proved superior over placebo with a significant difference of -0.51 mg/dl (95% confidence interval [CI] -0.72, -0.29; P < 0.0001). This effect was associated with significantly lower intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) values (NAMR: 292.4±300.4 pg/ml vs. placebo: 337.0±302.7 pg/ml; P = 0.04) and an improved calcification propensity (T50 time; NAMR: 23.8±97.1 minutes vs. placebo: 2.3±100.7 minutes; P = 0.02). Diarrhea and pruritus were more frequent in the NAMR group. CONCLUSION NAMR combined with oral PB significantly improved phosphate control in hemodialysis patients.

Association of ultra-processed food consumption with cardiovascular mortality in the US population: long-term results from a large prospective multicenter study. Int J Behav Nutr Phys Act 2021; 18:21. [PMID: 33536027 PMCID: PMC7860226 DOI: 10.1186/s12966-021-01081-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 56] [Impact Index Per Article: 18.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/21/2020] [Accepted: 01/05/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Ultra-processed foods have now become dominant in the global food system. Whether their consumption is associated with cardiovascular mortality remains controversial. Moreover, data on ultra-processed foods and cardiovascular outcomes are scarce in the US population. We aimed to examine the association of ultra-processed food consumption with cardiovascular mortality in a US population. METHODS A population-based cohort of 91,891 participants was identified from the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal, and Ovarian Cancer Screening Trial. Dietary data were collected through a validated 137-item food frequency questionnaire. Ultra-processed foods were defined by the NOVA classification. Cox regression was used to calculate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for cardiovascular mortality. Restricted cubic spline regression was used to test nonlinearity. Subgroup analyses were conducted to identify the potential effect modifiers. RESULTS After an average follow-up of 13.5 years (1,236,049.2 person-years), 5490 cardiovascular deaths were documented, including 3985 heart disease deaths and 1126 cerebrovascular deaths. In the fully adjusted model, participants in the highest vs. the lowest quintiles of ultra-processed food consumption had higher risks of death from cardiovascular disease (HRquintile 5 vs. 1, 1.50; 95% CI, 1.36-1.64) and heart disease (HRquintile 5 vs. 1, 1.68; 95% CI, 1.50-1.87) but not cerebrovascular disease (HRquintile 5 vs. 1, 0.94; 95% CI, 0.76-1.17). A nonlinear dose-response pattern was observed for overall cardiovascular and heart disease mortality (all Pnonlinearity < 0.05), with a threshold effect observed at ultra-processed food consumption of 2.4 servings/day and 2.3 servings/day, respectively; below the thresholds, no significant associations were observed for these two outcomes. Subgroup analyses showed that the increased risks of mortality from ultra-processed foods were significantly higher in women than in men (all Pinteraction < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS High consumption of ultra-processed foods is associated with increased risks of overall cardiovascular and heart disease mortality. These harmful associations may be more pronounced in women. Our findings need to be confirmed in other populations and settings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Phosphate intake has increased in the last decades due to a higher consumption of processed foods. This higher intake is detrimental for patients with chronic kidney disease, increasing mortality and cardiovascular disease risk and accelerating kidney dysfunction. Whether a chronic high phosphate diet is also detrimental for the healthy population is still under debate. METHODS We fed healthy mature adult mice over a period of one year with either a high (1.2% w/w) or a standard (0.6% w/w) phosphate diet, and investigated the impact of a high phosphate diet on mineral homeostasis, kidney function and bone health. RESULTS The high phosphate diet increased plasma phosphate, parathyroid hormone (PTH) and calcitriol levels, with no change in fibroblast growth factor 23 levels. Urinary phosphate, calcium and ammonium excretion were increased. Measured glomerular filtration rate was apparently unaffected, while blood urea was lower and urea clearance was higher in animals fed the high phosphate diet. No change was observed in plasma creatinine levels. Blood and urinary pH were more acidic paralleled by higher bone resorption observed in animals fed a high phosphate diet. Total and cortical bone mineral density was lower in animals fed a high phosphate diet and this effect is independent of the higher PTH levels observed. CONCLUSIONS A chronic high phosphate intake did not cause major renal alterations, but affected negatively bone health, increasing bone resorption and decreasing bone mineral density.

Abstract
Background Hyperphosphatemia and calcium load were associated with vascular calcification. The role of calcium-containing phosphate binders (CCPBs) use as important determinants of death and cardiovascular events in predialysis hyperphosphatemic chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients remain unclear due to the absence of evidence for reduced mortality with CCPB use compared with placebo. We aimed to investigate the effect of using CCPBs or nonuse in all-cause mortality rates and cardiovascular events in CKD stage 5 patients between 2000 and 2005 in the Taiwanese National Health Insurance Research Database. Methods Patients with known coronary heart disease and those who had undergone dialysis or renal transplantation were excluded. The CCPB users were matched with nonusers by the propensity score model. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards model was used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) of all-cause mortality and cardiovascular events. Results During a mean follow-up of 4.58 years, 879 CCPB users were matched with 3516 nonusers. CCPB use was an independent risk factor for cardiovascular events [adjusted hazard ratio (HR) 1.583, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.393–1.799]. The increased cardiovascular risk was dose-dependent and consistent across all subgroup analyses. Compared with no use, CCPB use was associated with no significant all-cause mortality risk (1.74 vs. 1.75 events per 100 person-years, adjusted HR 0.964, 95% CI 0.692–1.310). Conclusions CCPB use in CKD stage 5 patients was associated with a significantly increased cardiovascular event risk compared with the nonusers, whereas the all-cause mortality risk was similar between the two groups. Whether these relationships are causal require further randomized controlled trials.

Abstract
<b><i>Background:</i></b> The aging population is increasing rapidly, much faster than our understanding on how to promote healthy aging free of multimorbidities. The aging kidney shows a decline in its function. Whether this decline is preventable or physiological is still debated. Main risks factors for developing CKD are aging common comorbidites, such as hypertension, diabetes, and obesity. Phosphate is vital for our organism, but it is also present in a great variety of food products as food additive and preservative. Due to the higher consumption of processed food in the last century, concern has arisen if a chronic high consumption of phosphate may be toxic impacting on healthy aging. <b><i>Summary:</i></b> Several studies show an association between higher serum phosphate levels and a higher risk of overall mortality and cardiovascular disease. Moreover, higher phosphate levels also worsen CKD progression and may contribute to renal dysfunction in healthy individuals. Acute high phosphate intake is rare but can cause acute kidney injury. Yet, the question if controlling phosphate intake may modulate serum phosphate concentrations remains unanswered, as assessment of phosphate intake is still a difficult task. Phosphate consumption estimations by dietary recalls are largely underestimated, especially in populations groups consuming high amount of processed food. <b><i>Key Message:</i></b> A healthy diet with phosphate source from food may contribute to promote healthy aging and longevity.

Protein energy-wasting associated with nephrotic syndrome - the comparison of metabolic pattern in severe nephrosis to different stages of chronic kidney disease. BMC Nephrol 2020; 21:346. [PMID: 32795277 PMCID: PMC7427894 DOI: 10.1186/s12882-020-02003-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/20/2019] [Accepted: 08/03/2020] [Indexed: 01/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Nephrotic syndrome (NS) is associated with a hypercatabolic state expressed as an exacerbated degradation of muscle mass. However, the clinical significance of this phenomenon has not yet been investigated. The aim of the study was to evaluate the nutritional status of patients with severe NS (defined as nephrotic range proteinuria with hypoalbuminemia ≤2.5 g/dL) and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥45 mL/min/1.73 m2 in comparison to patients in different stages of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Methods Twenty men with severe NS (NS group) and 40 men without proteinuria similar in term of serum creatinine (control group) were included into the study. A retrospective cohort of 40 men with CKD stage G4 (PreD group) and 20 haemodialysis men (HD group) were added to the analysis after matching for age, height and weight using propensity score matching. The bioimpedance spectroscopy and biochemical nutritional markers were evaluated. Results Nephrotic patients had a significantly lower lean tissue mass (LTM; p = 0.035) and index (a quotient of LTM over height squared, LTI; p = 0.068), with an expected deficiency of LTM by 3.2 kg, and LTI by 0.9 kg/m2 when compared to the control group. A significant lean tissue deficit (defined as LTI below the lower limit of the reference range by 1.0 kg/m2) was observed in 12.5% of patients in the control group in comparison to 31.7% with advanced CKD (PreD+HD; p = 0.032) and 50% with NS (p = 0.003). NS group presented with higher phosphorus (p = 0.029), uric acid (p = 0.002) and blood urea (p = 0.049) than the control group. Blood urea was strongly negatively correlated with LTM in NS (r = − 0.64, p = 0.002). Nine nephrotic patients (45%) were identified as hypercatabolic based on severe hyperphosphatemia (> 5.0 mg/dL) and/or hyperuricemia (> 8.0 mg/dL), and were characterized by higher blood urea and lower prealbumin, as well as LTM lower by 5.6 kg than in less catabolic individuals. Conclusions In term of lean tissue amount, NS group was more similar to advanced CKD than to the control group. We concluded that specific metabolic pattern with elevated phosphorus, uric acid and blood urea, and lean tissue deficiency may be defined as protein-energy wasting associated with nephrotic syndrome (neph-PEW).
