Backgrounds: The aims dialysis of any sort include maintenance of normal body fluid status, normal electrolyte and acid-base balance, and removal of waste products. The degree of adequacy of removing nitrogenous waste products is very important. So the aims of this study: calculating Kt/Vurea and CCr in end-stage renal disease patients treated by CAPD and evaluating the correlation between clearance of urea and creatinine. Patients-Methods: 30 ESRD patients treated by CAPD at Department of Nephrology- Hue central Hospital were selected for this study from 1/2010 to 6/2011. The design of the study was a prospective crossover design. Results: The mean age of the patients was: 36,17±10,74 years(male) and 49,07 ± 12,75 years (female). Weekly Kt/Vure/t at T0: 2,43 ± 0,86 and T9: 2,26 ± 0,75; Weekly CCr at T0: 95,45 ± 29,39 L/week/1,73 m2 and T9: 90,81 ± 27,44 L/week/l,73 m2, p > 0,05. There was a positive-relation between Kt/Vure/week) and (CCr/week), (r = 0,638; p < 0,05).

Gut microbiota alterations occur in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients with or without dialysis. However, it remains unclear whether changes in gut microbiota of dialysis ESRD patients result from dialysis or ESRD, or both. Similarly, there is a dearth of information on the relationship between gut microbiota and ESRD prognoses. We collected fecal samples and tracked clinical outcomes from 73 ESRD patients, including 33 pre-dialysis ESRD patients, 19 peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients, and 21 hemodialysis (HD) patients. 16S rRNA sequencing and bioinformatics tools were used to analyze the gut microbiota of ESRD patients and healthy controls. Gut microbiota diversity was different before and after dialysis. Bacteroidetes were significantly deceased in HD patients. Twelve bacterial genera exhibited statistically significant differences, due to dialysis (all P &lt; 0.05, FDR corrected). HD reversed abnormal changes in Oscillospira and SMB53 in pre-dialysis patients. Functional predictions of microbial communities showed that PD and HD altered signal transduction and metabolic pathways in ESRD patients. Furthermore, Bacteroides and Phascolarctobacterium were associated with cardiovascular mortality. Dorea, Clostridium, and SMB53 were related to peritonitis in PD patients. This study not only demonstrated differences in gut microbiota between pre-dialysis and dialysis ESRD patients, but also firstly proposed gut bacteria may exert an impact on patient prognosis.

Abstract Background Research suggests that patients with end stage renal disease undergoing hemodialysis have a higher rate of depression and dietary non adherence leading to hospitalization and mortality. The purpose of this review was to synthesize the quantitative evidence on the relationship between depressive symptoms and dietary non adherence among end stage renal disease (ESRD) patients receiving hemodialysis. Methods A systematic review was undertaken. Three electronic databases were searched including PubMed, CINHAL and Web of Science. Only quantitative studies published between 2001 and 2016 were included in the review. Result A total of 141 publications were reviewed during the search process and 28 articles that fulfilled the inclusion criteria were included in the review. Eleven studies (39.3%) reported on the prevalence of depressive symptoms or depression and its effect on patient outcomes. Ten studies (35.7%) focused on dietary adherence/non adherence in patients with ESRD and the remaining seven (25%) articles were descriptive studies on the relationship between depressive symptoms and dietary non adherence in patients with ESRD receiving hemodialysis. The prevalence of depressive symptoms and dietary non adherence ranged as 6–83.49% and from 41.1–98.3% respectively. Decreased quality of life & increased morbidity and mortality were positively associated with depressive symptoms. Other factors including urea, hemoglobin, creatinine and serum albumin had also association with depressive symptoms. Regarding dietary non adherence, age, social support, educational status, behavioral control and positive attitudes are important factors in ESRD patients receiving hemodialysis. Having depressive symptoms is more likely to increase dietary non adherence. Conclusion Depressive symptoms and dietary non adherence were highly prevalent in patients with end stage renal disease receiving hemodialysis therapy. Nearly all of the articles that examined the relationship between depressive symptoms and dietary non adherence found a significant association. Future research using experimental or longitudinal design and gold standard measures with established cut-points is needed to further explain the relationship.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship between different dialysis modalities and depression in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. Methods: We searched through the PsycINFO, PubMed, Cochrane Library, EMBASE and CNKI for all related studies from 1 January 1990 till 30 June 2019 without restriction on language. We selected papers that compared the depression levels among patients undergoing hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. Two authors independently selected studies, evaluated the quality of included studies, and extracted data according to Newcastle–Ottawa Scale (NOS). A discussion with a third author checked any disagreement to minimize the publication bias. PRISMA guidelines were used as the standards of reporting (PRISMA registration ID is 239172). Results: There was not enough evidence to prove the relationship between different dialysis modalities and depression (OR: 2.37, 95%CI: 0.88-6.40). We also found no statistical significance between the mean difference of depression level and dialysis modalities (Std mean difference=0.69, 95%CI: -2.09--3.46). Conclusion: The available limited, deficient quality evidence assessed by ROBINS-I does not support an association between depression and dialysis modalities among ESRD patients. Further studies that provide data for different sex and age groups are needed to clarify whether a subgroup of dialysis modalities has a different risk of depression.

Peritoneal dialysis (PD) interruption requiring hemodialysis (HD) is not uncommon and its frequently abrupt nature prevents timely creation of permanent HD access and avoidance of central venous catheters (CVC). We retrospectively studied a cohort of 24 end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients (mean age 50.7 years, 83.3% African-Americans, 58.3% females, time on dialysis interquartile range [IQR] 0 - 65 days) who had simultaneous PD catheter insertion and backup arteriovenous fistula (AVF) creation between January 1, 2012, and December 31, 2013. The primary outcome of interest was the percent of patients receiving HD through the backup AVF at the time of PD interruption. A median (IQR) for PD catheter use after its insertion was 10.5 (2 - 20) days. After the mean follow-up of 19.6 months, 12 patients remained on PD, 2 patients received a kidney transplant, and 1 patient died. The overall AVF patency was 66.7%. A total of 9 (37.5%) patients had PD interruption requiring permanent (8 patients) or temporary (1 patient) HD after the mean (standard deviation [SD]) follow-up of 12.3 (8.2) months. Arteriovenous fistula was used as the initial access in 4 patients, and in 3 patients the original AVF was used after additional surgical revision. Forty-four percent of patients with a backup AVF fistula avoided CVC at the time of PD interruption requiring HD. The simultaneous AVF creation at the time of PD catheter insertion reduced but did not fully eliminate CVC at the time of PD interruption. Larger studies are needed to evaluate the utility of a backup AVF in PD patients.

We aimed to investigate the neurovascular coupling (NVC) dysfunction in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients related with cognitive impairment. Twenty-five ESRD patients and 22 healthy controls were enrolled. To assess the NVC dysfunctional pattern, resting-state functional MRI and arterial spin labeling were explored to estimate the coupling of spontaneous neuronal activity and cerebral blood perfusion based on amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (ALFF)-cerebral blood flow (CBF), fractional ALFF (fALFF)-CBF, regional homogeneity (ReHo)-CBF, and degree centrality (DC)-CBF correlation coefficients. Multivariate partial least-squares correlation and mediation analyses were used to evaluate the relationship among NVC dysfunctional pattern, cognitive impairment and clinical characteristics. The NVC dysfunctional patterns in ESRD patients were significantly decreased in 34 brain regions compared with healthy controls. The decreased fALFF-CBF coefficients in the cingulate gyrus (CG) were associated positively with lower kinetic transfer/volume urea (Kt/V) and lower short-term memory scores, and were negatively associated with higher serum urea. The relationship between Kt/V and memory deficits of ESRD patients was partially mediated by the fALFF-CBF alteration of the CG. These findings reveal the NVC dysfunction may be a potential neural mechanism for cognitive impairment in ESRD. The regional NVC dysfunction may mediate the impact of dialysis adequacy on memory function.

Abstract Abstract 2665 Introduction: Phosphatidylserine (PS) exposure by red blood cells (RBCs) is increased in sickle cell disease, where it is thought to contribute to anemia, inflammation and activation of coagulation. RBCs from subjects with sickle cell trait (SCT) may also express more PS compared to controls. We recently reported a high prevalence of SCT in African Americans with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) - a state marked by anemia, profound inflammation and coagulation activation. No study has yet examined RBC PS exposure, inflammation or coagulation activation in African Americans patients with SCT and ESRD. Objective: To determine whether RBC PS exposure is elevated in ESRD patients with SCT receiving hemodialysis compared to patients with normal hemoglobin genotype, and whether markers of coagulation activation and inflammation are similarly elevated. The relationship between RBC PS exposure, thrombin generation and inflammation was also examined. Methods: We performed a cross sectional study of 10 patients with documented SCT and 9 race-matched controls. Both groups were receiving in center hemodialysis. The percentage of RBCs demonstrating PS exposure was determined by annexin-V binding and flow cytometry detection. Plasma thrombin/anti-thrombin (TAT) complexes and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels were determined by ELISA. Mann-Whitney U tests were used to examine differences between these variables among the groups. Medians and interquartile ranges (IQR) are shown. Spearman's correlation coefficient was used to assess the relationship among the variables tested. Results: Consistent with previous reports in ESRD patients, we found markedly elevated RBC PS exposure among both groups; however, patients with SCT had significantly elevated PS exposure compared to those without SCT (6.65%, [IQR: 5.1, 8.8] vs. 3.0%, [IQR: 2.1,4.2], p = 0.002). Furthermore, patients with SCT had higher TAT levels compared to those without SCT (16.1 ng/L [IQR: 11.9, 28.4] vs. 5.5 ng/L [IQR: 3.8, 8.6], p<0.0001). We also noted increased plasma CRP levels in those patients with SCT compared to control (33.7 mg/L [IQR: 22.8, 62.8] vs. 11.2 mg/L [IQR: 2.2, 19.5], p = 0.016). In patients with SCT, there was a striking correlation between PS exposure and TAT levels (r = 0.897, p<0.0001), but no correlation was noted between PS exposure and levels of CRP (r=-0.17, p = 0.63). Conclusions: These data suggest that patients with SCT trait in ESRD may be subject to an increased risk of thrombotic complications related to increased PS exposure on RBCs. Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

Linear heart rate variability (HRV) indices are dependent on the mean heart rate, which has been demonstrated in different models (from sinoatrial cells to humans). The association between nonlinear HRV indices, including those provided by recurrence plot quantitative analysis (RQA), and the mean heart rate (or the mean cardiac period, also called meanNN) has been scarcely studied. For this purpose, we analyzed RQA indices of five minute-long HRV time series obtained in the supine position and during active standing from 30 healthy subjects and 29 end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients (before and after hemodialysis). In the supine position, ESRD patients showed shorter meanNN (i.e., faster heart rate) and decreased variability compared to healthy subjects. The healthy subjects responded to active standing by shortening the meanNN and decreasing HRV indices to reach similar values of ESRD patients. Bivariate correlations between all RQA indices and meanNN were significant in healthy subjects and ESRD after hemodialysis and for most RQA indices in ESRD patients before hemodialysis. Multiple linear regression analyses showed that RQA indices were also dependent on the position and the ESRD condition. Then, future studies should consider the association among RQA indices, meanNN, and these other factors for a correct interpretation of HRV.

Background. End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) normally requires dialysis or transplantation for survival. Since ESRD patients are on long term dialysis, infections such as Hepatitis B (HBV) and Hepatitis C (HCV) are commonly reported.Methods. This was a retrospective study carried out at a government hospital during a 12-month period from January 2013 to December 2013. The data was collected using a predesigned pro forma to note the etiology, gender, age, and HBsAg and anti-HCV test result of each patient.Results. 444 children suffering from ESRD were included in our analysis. The mean age of sample was 12.7 ± 4.1 years. Sixty percent (n=262) of the children were boys. The most common etiology of ESRD was kidney stones (n=44, 29.3%). HBV was positive in 11 children (2.5%) while HCV was positive in 13 (2.9%).Conclusion. This study asserts the need for carrying out further work to confirm these findings and expand our recommendations. It is imperative to reliably determine the burden of HBV and HCV disease and to determine the aetiology of their spread especially in children with ESRD.

Objectives: There are arguments regarding the relationship between the level of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) and presence of cardiac diseases in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. This study aimed to determine the relationship between positivity of cTnI and cause of admission and patients’ outcome in ESRD patients. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, all ESRD patients who had checked cTnI and admitted to two university hospitals in Isfahan, Iran were enrolled. The patients’ demographic characteristics, cause of admission, and outcome were correlated with cTnI positivity. Results: Out of a total of 348 ESRD patients, 100 subjects had positive cTnI. There was a positive correlation between age and admission in Al-Zahra hospital with positive cTnI. In contrast, vascular access complication and hypertension had a negative correlation with positivity of cTnI. The results of multiple logistic regression analysis showed that factors including age (OR: 1.04; 95% CI: 1.01 - 1.07; P: 0.004) and infections (OR: 3.1; 95% CI: 1.3 - 7.3; P: 0.009) were associated with increased risk of in-hospital mortality. In contrary, exit site infection (OR: 0.11; 95% CI: 0.01 - 0.8; P: 0.03) and hypertension (OR = 0.32; 95% CI: 0.14 - 0.77; P = 0.01) were associated with decreased risk of mortality. Although cTnI positivity correlated with patients’ in-hospital mortality (OR = 2.038). Conclusions: Although positive cTnI had a borderline association with in-hospital mortality in ESRD patients, further multicenter studies with larger sample size are required to confirm the results.

Abstract Background and Aims Long-term exposure to air pollutants significantly increases the morbidity and mortality associated with various diseases. However, little is known about the relationship between air pollutants and end-stage renal disease (ESRD)-related mortality. Method A total of 5041 patients who started dialysis between 2008 and 2015 were prospectively enrolled in the Clinical Research Center for End-Stage Renal Disease (CRC-ESRD) cohort study. We assigned a daily mean concentration of air pollutants (PM10, NO2, and SO2) to each participant. Time-varying Cox models were used to investigate the relationship between air pollutants and mortality in ESRD patients. Results During the follow-up period (mean 4.18 years), 1475 deaths occurred among 5041 participants. We found a significant long-term relationship between mortality risk and PM10 (HR 1.33, CI 1.13–1.58), NO2 (HR 1.46, CI 1.10–1.95), and SO2 (HR 1.07, CI 1.03–1.11). Elderly patients and patients who lived in metropolitan areas had an increased risk associated with PM10. Elderly patients also had increased risks associated NO2 and SO2. Conclusion Long-term exposure to air pollutants had negative effects on mortality in ESRD patients. These effects were prominent in elderly patients who lived in metropolitan areas, suggesting that ambient air pollution, in addition to traditional risk factors, is important for the survival of these patients.
