Abstract Background and Aims The volume factor of maintenance hemodialysis patients is closely related to the prognosis. We hypothesized that the excess weight after dialysis (end-dialysis over-weight, edOW) is an important factor of volume impact survival in hemodialysis (HD) patients. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between edOW and long-term prognosis of patients with maintenance hemodialysis. Method This retrospective study observed incident hemodialysis patients who treated in Kidney Disease Center, the First Affiliated Hospital, College of Medicine, Zhejiang University from January 1, 2008 to April 30, 2017, three times a week for at least one year. The end point of follow-up was death, abdominal dialysis, kidney transplantation, transfer or until April 30, 2018. The general data of the patients included age, gender, BMI, primary renal disease, CVD, first hemodialysis access, albumin(Alb), Haemoglobin(Hb), blood pressure, heart rate, ultrafiltration rate(UFR), interdialytic weight gain IDWG, end -dialysis overweight (edOW). Cox multivariate regression was used to analyze the relationship between edow and all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality. Results Totally 469 patients male, 64% were enrolled, with an average age of 56.9 ± 17.1 years. During the follow-up period, 102 patients died. The main cause of death was cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events, accounting for 44.7%. The mean value of edow was 0.28 ± 0.02 kg. Kaplan-Meier(Log-rank test) survival analysis showed that the long-term survival rate of the group with edow ≤ 0.28kg was better than that of the group with edow > 0.28kg (P = 0.042), and the cardiovascular mortality of the group with edow > 0.28kg was significantly higher than that of the group with edow ≤ 0.28kg (P = 0.001). Cox multivariate regression analysis showed that edow was an independent risk factor for all-cause death in hemodialysis patients (P = 0.025, AhR = 1.541, 95% CI 1.057-2.249), and also an independent risk factor for CVD death in hemodialysis patients (P = 0.007, AhR = 1.929, 95% CI 1.198-3.107). Conclusion EdOW is an independent risk factor of long-term all-cause and cardiovascular death in hemodialysis patients.

The Relationship

Objective. To observe the relationship between changes in renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) activity and blood plasma glucose after administration of hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) for one year in patients with hypertension.Methods. 108 hypertensive patients were given 12.5 mg HCTZ per day for one year. RAAS activity, plasma glucose levels, and other biochemical parameters, as well as plasma oxidized low density lipoprotein (oxLDL) levels, were measured and analyzed at baseline, six weeks, and one year after treatment.Results. After one year of treatment, the reduction in plasma glucose observed between the elevated plasma renin activity (PRA) group (-0.26±0.26 mmol/L) and the nonelevated PRA group (-1.36±0.23 mmol/L) was statistically significant (P<0.05). The decrease of plasma glucose in the elevated Ang II group (-0.17±0.18 mmol/L) compared to the nonelevated Ang II group (-1.07±0.21 mmol/L) was statistically significant (P<0.05). The proportion of patients with elevated plasma glucose in the elevated Ang II group (40.5%) was significantly higher than those in the nonelevated Ang II group (16.3%) (P<0.05). The relative oxLDL level was not affected by the treatment.Conclusions. Changes in RAAS activity were correlated with changes in plasma glucose levels after one year of HCTZ therapy.

AimsAbnormal glucose regulation, which can present as diabetes and prediabetes, has become one of the most common chronic conditions. However, sex differences in the prevalence of and factors associated with abnormal glucose regulation remain unclear. Thus, we aimed to explore sex differences in the prevalence of and factors associated with abnormal glucose regulation in low-income adults in China aged ≥50 years with normal fasting plasma glucose levels.Materials and MethodsA total of 2,175 individuals aged ≥50 years with normal fasting plasma glucose levels were recruited into this study. After an overnight fast of at least 10 h, individuals underwent an oral glucose tolerance test. Fasting and 2-h plasma glucose levels were measured to determine the state of glucose regulation.ResultsWomen were more likely than men to have isolated-impaired glucose tolerance (i-IGT) overall (24.7% vs 20.8%; P= 0.034), among individuals aged &lt;65 years (21.7% vs 15.9%; P= 0.012). Among men, independent risk factors for i-IGT were an age of ≥65 years, hypertension, and high serum uric acid (SUA) and triglyceride levels; independent risk factors for diabetes mellitus (DM) were an age of ≥75 years and alcohol consumption. Among women, independent risk factors for i-IGT were central obesity and high levels of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein and SUA; independent risk factors for DM were low education and an elevated white blood cell count.ConclusionsOur findings suggest that conventional cardiovascular disease risk factors (i.e., age, hypertension, and dyslipidemia) associated with high risk of developing DM in men, but poor life style (i.e., obesity) and low education attainment in women. It is necessary for delay or stopping the development of DM among low-income adults in China to implement the personalized scheme of prevention DM between men and women, especially highlight control the risk factors in young and middle aged women.
