The roles of the kidney are well defined, if there is a progressive loss in renal function, the kidney is no longer able to perform the listed tasks and chronic kidney disease (CKD) persists. In both clinical and experimental studies, NaHCO3 supplementation has been shown to improve glomerular filtration rate (GFR) as well as halt the progression toward end-stage renal disease (ESRD). In an article recently published in Clinical Science (vol 132 (11) 1179-1197), Ray et al. presented an intriguing and timely study, which investigates the mechanisms involved in the protection that follows oral NaHCO3 ingestion. Here we comment on their research findings.

Management of early renal failure helps in the reduction or prevention of end-stage renal disease. The monitoring of renal function is discussed, and the chapter includes a table that shows commonly used methods for monitoring. Risk factors for chronic renal failure include stroke and cardiac disease. Risk factors for renal disease progression are diabetes mellitus, hypertension, proteinuria, smoking, protein intake, and hyperlipidemia. Complications of chronic renal failure that are addressed include sodium and water imbalance, potassium imbalance, acidosis, calcium and phosphorus imbalance, and anemia. There is also a section that discusses the case for early referral to a nephrologist. Tables present the equations used to estimate the glomerular filtration rate (GFR); stages of chronic kidney disease and the appropriate steps in their management; risk factors for chronic kidney disease in which the testing of proteinuria and estimation of GFR are indicated; appropriate diet for patients who have chronic kidney disease; and guidelines for diagnosing and treating anemia resulting from chronic kidney disease. An algorithm outlines the steps in management of calcium and phosphate in patients with kidney disease.

Abstract Background: Plasma B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) is a diagnostic and prognostic marker in heart failure (HF). Although renal function is reported as an important clinical determinant, precise evaluations of the relationships of renal function with hemodynamic factors in determining BNP have not been performed. Therefore, we evaluated the association of plasma BNP concentrations with LV end-diastolic wall stress (EDWS) in a broad range of HF patients including those with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Methods: In 156 consecutive HF patients including those with CKD and ESRD, we measured plasma BNP and performed echocardiography and cardiac catheterization. LV EDWS was calculated as a crucial hemodynamic determinant of BNP. Results: Plasma BNP concentrations increased progressively with decreasing renal function across the groups (P < 0.01) and were correlated with LV EDWS (r = 0.47) in the HF patients overall. This relationship was also present when patients were subdivided into systolic and diastolic HF (P < 0.01). In multivariable analysis, higher EDWS was associated with increased BNP concentration independently of renal dysfunction (P < 0.01). Anemia, systolic HF, and decreased BMI also contributed to increased BNP concentrations. Conclusions: These results suggest that LV EDWS is a strong determinant of BNP even in patients with CKD and ESRD. Anemia, obesity, and HF type (systolic or diastolic) should also be considered in interpreting plasma BNP concentrations in HF patients. These findings may contribute to the clinical management of HF patients, especially those complicated with CKD and ESRD.
