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

Fernandez L, Thompson S, Berendonk C, Schick-Makaroff K. Mental Health Care for Adults Treated With Dialysis in Canada: A Scoping Review. Can J Kidney Health Dis 2022; 9:20543581221086328. [PMID: 35340771 PMCID: PMC8950027 DOI: 10.1177/20543581221086328] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/08/2021] [Accepted: 01/25/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose of review: Mental illnesses, especially depression and anxiety, are common conditions frequently underrecognized and untreated among individuals with end-stage kidney disease. Existing tools/interventions, approaches to care, and resources to support mental health for people treated with dialysis in Canada are not well known. The aim of this scoping review was to systematically describe how mental health care is provided to adults treated with dialysis in Canada. The research questions we sought to answer were the following: (1) What mental health assessment tools and interventions for adults treated with dialysis have been investigated and utilized in Canada? (2) what is the structure and process of mental health care delivered by kidney care to adults treated with dialysis in Canada? and (3) what is the availability of mental health care resources developed for adults treated with dialysis in Canada? Sources of information: Electronic databases included Medline, Embase, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Cochrane Library, Scopus, and Web of Science for peer-reviewed literature, and Google search engine for gray literature. Methods: Systematic searches were conducted to identify peer-reviewed and gray literature that focused on mental health care or support offered to adults receiving any form of dialysis in Canadian kidney care settings and/or community organizations. Mental health care and support was defined to include mental health assessment tools, interventions, resources, guidelines, and/or pathways used in dialysis in Canada. Title, abstracts, and full texts were screened independently by 2 reviewers with discrepancies resolved by additional team members. Web sites were screened by individual members. Data from included studies and Web sites were extracted based on the abovementioned research questions. Key findings: We identified 8 peer-reviewed articles from electronic databases, and 28 separate Web site addresses. Of the 8 articles, 4 investigated mental health assessment tools and 4 examined mental health interventions for individuals treated with dialysis in Canada. The mental health assessment tools that have been used are Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II), Edmonton System Assessment Scale (ESAS), Edmonton System Assessment Scale revised (ESAS-r): Renal, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), and Distress Assessment and Response Tool (DART), and the nonpharmacological interventions that have been investigated are intradialytic exercise, tai chi exercise program, medical music therapy, and brief mindfulness meditation. Of the 28 Web site addresses, 2 contained clinical tools for kidney care providers for the management of depression and anxiety in individuals treated with dialysis. The 26 remaining Web sites contained mental health resources for individuals with kidney disease, which presented different types of resources, including psychoeducation, peer support, and linkage to other services. Conclusion: In conclusion, we found only a limited number of studies investigating mental health assessment tools and interventions in Canada; there was a paucity of randomized controlled trials. Clinical pathways for the assessment and management of mental illness or symptoms in individuals treated with dialysis in Canada are also limited, and no clinical practice guidelines exist. Several mental health resources for people living with dialysis are available, predominantly focused on psychoeducation and peer support. Despite increasing prevalence of mental health concerns by people treated with dialysis, mental health care remains underaddressed. Limitations: It is plausible that additional literature related to mental health assessment tools, interventions, resources, guidelines, and pathways exists that we did not find during our systematic search, especially in gray literature that was limited to one search engine. In addition, health care agencies or organizations may have developed other mental health resources, which may not be available on the Internet.

Abstract
Hemodialysis (HD) is the most common method of chronic kidney failure (CKF) treatment, with 65% of European patients with CKF receiving HD in 2018. Regular two to three HD sessions weekly severely lower their quality of life, resulting in a higher incidence of depression and anxiety, which is present in one third to one half of these patients. Additionally, the age of patients receiving HD is increasing with better treatment and care, resulting in more cognitive impairment being uncovered. Lastly, patients with other mental health issues can also develop CKF during their life with need for kidney replacement therapy (KRT). All these conditions need to receive adequate care, which often means prescribing psychotropic medications. Importantly, many of these drugs are eliminated through the kidneys, which results in altered pharmacokinetics when patients receive KRT. This narrative review will focus on common issues and medications of CKF patients, their comorbidities, mental health issues, use of psychotropic medications and their altered pharmacokinetics when used in HD, polypharmacy, and drug interactions, as well as deprescribing algorithms developed for these patients.

Use of Sertraline in Hemodialysis Patients. MEDICINA-LITHUANIA 2021; 57:medicina57090949.

Abstract
Depression and anxiety are the most common psychiatric disorders in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients treated with hemodialysis (HD) and may correlate with lower quality of life and increased mortality. Depression treatment in HD patients is still a challenge both for nephrologists and psychiatrists. The possible treatment of depressive disorders can be pharmacological and non-pharmacological. In our article, we focus on the use of sertraline, the medication which seems to be relatively safe and efficient in the abovementioned population, taking under consideration several limitations regarding the use of other selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). In our paper, we discuss different aspects of sertraline use, taking into consideration possible benefits and side effects of drug administration like impact on QTc (corrected QT interval) prolongation, intradialytic hypotension (IDH), chronic kidney disease-associated pruritus (CKD-aP), bleeding, sexual functions, inflammation, or fracture risk. Before administering the medication, one should consider benefits and possible side effects, which are particularly significant in the treatment of ESRD patients; this could help to optimize clinical outcomes. Sertraline seems to be safe in the HD population when provided in proper doses. However, we still need more studies in this field since the ones performed so far were usually based on small samples and lacked placebo control.

Abstract
Background: Depression is one of the most common psychiatric problems in hemodialysis patients. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of cool dialysate on depression in patients with chronic renal failure treated with hemodialysis. Methods: This randomized clinical trial was performed on 66 hemodialysis patients suffering from depression. Patients were selected by a convenience sampling method and divided equally into intervention and control groups randomly by permuted block allocation, each group containing 33 patients. Data were acquired with the Beck Depression inventory-I. The intervention and control groups underwent one month of treatment with cool dialysate at 35.5 and 37°C, respectively. The severity of depression for each group was measured at the end of each treatment stage and two weeks after the intervention. Data were analyzed using R version 25 software with a confidence level of 95%. Results: There was no statistically significant difference between the control and intervention groups before and after the intervention (P-values more than 0.05). While the mean of depression severity for the control group decreased from 26.15 ± 1.46 to 22.24 ± 2.00 (P-values < 0.01), the mean of depression severity for the intervention group decreased from 25.56 ± 1.28 to 22.41 ± 1.65 by the intervention (P-value > 0.05). Conclusions: The application of cool dialysate as a non-pharmacological method did not significantly reduce the severity of depression in patients undergoing hemodialysis. Therefore, it is advised to perform further studies that include more research units from different geographical locations, considering a longer intervening duration.

Abstract
Patient survival continues to increase with the growing quality of dialysis and management of chronic kidney disease (CKD). As such, chronic therapy must include considerations of quality of life (QOL), and this includes the disproportionate prevalence of sexual dysfunction (SD) in this patient population. This review aims to describe the pathophysiological and the psychosocial causes of SD with regard to renal replacement therapy, particularly hemo- and peritoneal dialysis. The differences in its manifestation in men and women are compared, including hormonal imbalances—and therefore fertility, libido, and sexual satisfaction—the experience of depression and anxiety, and QOL. The impact of comorbidities and the iatrogenic causes of SD are described. This review also presents validated scales for screening and diagnosis of SD in CKD patients and outlines novel therapies and strategies for the effective management of SD. Increased prevalence of CKD invariably increases the number of patients with SD, and it is crucial for health care professional teams to become familiar with the clinical tools used to manage this sensitive and under-quantified field. As a known predictor of QOL, sexual function should become a point of focus in the pursuit of patient-centered care, particularly as we seek to achieve as “normal” a life as possible for individuals who receive dialysis.

Abstract
Patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) experience multiple bothersome symptoms, undermining their quality of life (QOL). With growing attention to the importance of symptom management in advanced CKD, the evidence regarding symptoms is increasing. In this review, we briefly summarize the current evidence of effective pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic interventions to improve symptoms and QOL in patients with advanced CKD, including those on dialysis. We focused on symptoms that are commonly experienced by patients, such as pain, fatigue, sleep disturbances, itching, nausea and vomiting, cognitive impairment, and anxiety and depression. We noted that research in symptom science focused on improving symptom management in CKD is still very limited. In addition to the lack of clinical practice guidelines to address those common symptoms, the major gaps in the current literature include the evidence regarding mechanistic pathways to inform the development of effective symptom management for CKD populations, the evidence to confirm effective pharmacologic interventions in other populations for CKD populations, and research on how to incorporate effective symptom management approaches into clinical care. Although improving mortality remains as an important area in the kidney community, there is an urgent need to focus on improving symptom management to improve QOL in advanced CKD.
