Optimal follow-up intervals for different stages of chronic kidney disease: a prospective observational study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a public health challenge; however, evidence-based, optimal follow-up intervals for patients with CKD have not been identified. This study aimed to identify appropriate follow-up intervals for different stages of CKD.

Methods

We studied 2682 patients with CKD. The number of patients experiencing a 50% increase in creatinine and those reaching end-stage renal failure were examined on the basis of their CKD stage. The renal function testing interval was defined as the estimated time for 0.1% of the patients with CKD to have a composite renal outcome, after adjusting for clinical risk factors. Transitions from CKD stage-based subgroups were analyzed using parametric cumulative incidence models. Other sensitivity analyses involved estimation of the time to renal event occurrence for 1% of patients.

Results

Of the 913 patients (34%) who had a composite renal event, 29 had stage 3A (10.5%), 151 had stage 3B (16.3%), 429 had stage 4 (41.0%), and 304 had stage 5 CKD (70.9%). The estimated renal function testing intervals for patients with CKD were 6.0 months for stage 3A, 3.4 months for stage 3B, 2.0 months for stage 4, and 1.2 months for stage 5.

Conclusions

The optimal follow-up intervals were longer for patients with lower CKD stages. These estimates are longer than those recommended by the current guidelines and serve as a reference for nephrologists in selecting an appropriate follow-up interval for each patient.

Project description:BackgroundAnemia is a worldwide problem with iron deficiency being the most common cause. When anemia occurs in pregnancy, it increases the risk of adverse maternal, fetal, and postnatal outcomes. It induces preterm births and low birth weight (LBW) deliveries, long-term neurodevelopmental sequelae, and an increased risk of earlier onset of postnatal iron deficiency. Anemia rates are among the highest in South Asia, and India's National Family Health Survey (NFHS-5) for 2019-2021 indicated that over half of pregnant women, and more than 65% of children, in the country are classified as anemic (Sciences IIfP, National Family Health Survey-5, 2019-21, India Fact Sheet). In 2021, the parent RAPIDIRON Trial (Derman et al., Trials 22:649, 2021) was initiated in two states in India, with the goal of assessing whether a dose of intravenous (IV) iron given to anemic women during early pregnancy results in a greater proportion of participants with normal hemoglobin concentrations in the third trimester and a lower proportion of participants with LBW deliveries compared to oral iron. As a follow-up to the RAPIDIRON Trial, the RAPIDIRON-KIDS Study will follow the offspring of previously randomized mothers to assess, neurobehavioral, hematological, and health outcomes.MethodsThis prospective observational cohort study will follow a subset of participants previously randomized as part of the RAPIDIRON Trial and their newborns. Study visits occur at birth, 6 weeks, 4 months, 12 months, 24 months, and 36 months and include blood sample collection with both maternal and infant participants and specific neurobehavioral assessments conducted with the infants (depending on the study visit). The primary outcomes of interest are (1) infant iron status as indicated by both hemoglobin and ferritin (a) at birth and (b) at 4 months of age and (2) the developmental quotient (DQ) for the cognitive domain of the Bayley Scales of Infant Development Version IV (BSID-IV) at 24 months of age.DiscussionThis RAPIDIRON-KIDS Study builds upon its parent RAPIDIRON Trial by following a subset of the previously randomized participants and their offspring through the first 3 years of life to assess neurodevelopmental and neurobehavioral (infants, children), hematological, and health outcomes.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov NCT05504863 , Registered on 17 August 2022.

Project description:BackgroundThere have been few prospective controlled studies of kidney donors. Understanding the pathophysiologic effects of kidney donation is important for judging donor safety and improving our understanding of the consequences of reduced kidney function in chronic kidney disease.Study designProspective, controlled, observational cohort study.Setting & participants3-year follow-up of kidney donors and paired controls suitable for donation at their donor's center.PredictorKidney donation.OutcomesMedical history, vital signs, glomerular filtration rate, and other measurements at 6, 12, 24, and 36 months after donation.ResultsAt 36 months, 182 of 203 (89.7%) original donors and 173 of 201 (86.1%) original controls continue to participate in follow-up visits. The linear slope of the glomerular filtration rate measured by plasma iohexol clearance declined 0.36±7.55mL/min per year in 194 controls, but increased 1.47±5.02mL/min per year in 198 donors (P=0.005) between 6 and 36 months. Blood pressure was not different between donors and controls at any visit, and at 36 months, all 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure parameters were similar in 126 controls and 135 donors (mean systolic blood pressure, 120.0±11.2 [SD] vs 120.7±9.7mmHg [P=0.6]; mean diastolic blood pressure, 73.4±7.0 vs 74.5±6.5mmHg [P=0.2]). Mean arterial pressure nocturnal dipping was manifest in 11.2% ± 6.6% of controls and 11.3% ± 6.1% of donors (P=0.9). Urinary protein-creatinine and albumin-creatinine ratios were not increased in donors compared with controls. From 6 to 36 months postdonation, serum parathyroid hormone, uric acid, homocysteine, and potassium levels were higher, whereas hemoglobin levels were lower, in donors compared with controls.LimitationsPossible bias resulting from an inability to select controls screened to be as healthy as donors, short follow-up duration, and dropouts.ConclusionsKidney donors manifest several of the findings of mild chronic kidney disease. However, at 36 months after donation, kidney function continues to improve in donors, whereas controls have expected age-related declines in function.
