Ketoanalogues Supplemental Low Protein Diet Safely Decreases Short-Term Risk of Dialysis among CKD Stage 4 Patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Rigid dietary controls and pill burden make a very-low protein (0.3-0.4 g/kg body weight per day), vegetarian diet supplemented with ketoanalogues of amino acids (sVLPD) hard to follow in the long-term. This study aimed to evaluate whether a ketoanalogue supplemental low-protein diet (sLPD) (0.6 g/kg body weight per day) could also reduce the risks of dialysis among CKD stage 4 patients.

Methods

Patients aged >20 years with a diagnosis of stage 4 CKD who subsequently received ketosteril treatment, which is the most commonly used ketoanalogue of essential amino acids, between 2003 and 2018 were identified from the Chang Gung Research Database (CGRD). Then, these individuals were divided into two groups according to the continuation of ketosteril for more than three months or not. The primary outcome was ESKD requiring maintenance dialysis.

Results

With one-year follow-up, the continuation group (n = 303) exhibited a significantly lower incidence of new-onset end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) requiring maintenance dialysis (6.8% vs. 10.4%, hazard ratio [HR]: 0.62, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.41-0.94) in comparison to the discontinuation group (n = 238).

Conclusions

This study demonstrated that initiating sLPDs since CKD stage 4 may additionally reduce the short-term risks of commencing dialysis without increasing CV events, infections, or mortality.

Project description:BackgroundThe present study was designed to determine the effect of short-term moderate-intensity exercise training on arterial stiffness in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 3.Study designRandomized controlled trial with a parallel-group design.Setting & participantsTesting and training sessions were performed at Springfield College. 46 (treatment group, n=25; control group, n=21) patients with CKD with diabetes and/or hypertension completed the study.InterventionThe aerobic training program consisted of 16 weeks of supervised exercise training at 50%-60% peak oxygen uptake (Vo2peak) 3 times per week, while the control group remained sedentary. Identical testing procedures were performed following the 16-week intervention.OutcomesThe primary outcome was arterial stiffness. Secondary outcomes were aerobic capacity, various blood parameters (endothelin 1, nitrate/nitrite, and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein), and health-related quality of life.MeasurementsArterial stiffness was assessed with aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV), aerobic capacity by Vo2peak, blood parameters by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays, and health-related quality of life by the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36). Participants attended 4 sessions before being randomly assigned to either the treatment or control group. Participants gave consent during the first session, whereas a graded exercise test with measurement of Vo2peak was completed during the second session. During sessions 3 and 4, aortic PWV was measured at rest prior to 40 minutes of either moderate-intensity exercise training or seated rest. A venous blood sample was obtained prior to exercise or rest and participants completed the SF-36 questionnaire.Results16 weeks of training led to an 8.2% increase in Vo2peak for the treatment group (P=0.05), but no changes in aortic PWV .LimitationsRandomization was not concealed and was violated on one occasion; also, use of an indirect measurement of endothelial function and the short duration of the intervention.ConclusionsShort-term moderate-intensity exercise training does not alter arterial stiffness in patients with CKD, but seems to reduce endothelin 1 levels.

Project description:ObjectivePrompt assessment of perioperative complications is critical for the comprehensive care of surgical patients. Acute kidney injury requiring dialysis (AKI-D) is associated with high mortality, yet little is known about how long-term outcomes of patients have evolved. The association of AKI-D with postsurgical outcomes has not been well studied.MethodsWe investigated patients from the National Health Insurance Research Database and validated by the multicenter Clinical Trial Consortium for Renal Diseases cohort. All patients with AKI-D 18 years or older undergoing four major surgeries (cardiothoracic, esophagus, intestine, and liver) were retrospectively investigated (N=106,573). Patient demographics, surgery type, comorbidities before admission, and postsurgical outcomes, including the in-hospital, 30-day, and long-term mortality together with dialysis dependence were collected.ResultsAKI-D is the top risk factor for 30-day and long-term mortality after major surgery. Of 1,664 individuals with AKI-D and 6,656 matched controls, AKI-D during the hospital stay was associated with in-hospital (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR]=3.04, 95% CI 2.79-3.31), 30-day (aHR=3.65, 95% CI 3.37-3.94), and long-term (aHR=3.22, 95% CI 3.01-3.44) mortality. Patients undergoing cardiothoracic surgery (CTS) showed less in-hospital (aHR=0.85, 95% CI 0.75-0.97), 30-day (aHR=0.79, 95% CI 0.70-0.89), and long-term (aHR=0.80, 95% CI 0.72-0.90) mortality compared with non-CTS patients with AKI-D. CTS patients had a high risk of 30-day dialysis dependence (subhazard ratio [sHR]=1.67, 95% CI 1.18-2.38), but the risk of long-term dialysis dependence was similar (sHR=1.38, 95% CI 0.96-2.00) after AKI-D by taking mortality as a competing risk. Non-CTS patients had more comorbidities of sepsis, azotemia, hypoalbuminemia, and metabolic acidosis compared with CTS patients.ConclusionAKI exhibits paramount effects on postsurgical outcomes that extend well beyond discharge from the hospital. The goal of the perioperative assessment should include the reassurance of enhancing renal function recovery among different surgeries, and optimized follow-up is warranted in attenuating the complications after postsurgical AKI has occurred.
