Hospitalization and Hospitalized Delirium Are Associated With Decreased Access to Kidney Transplantation and Increased Risk of Waitlist Mortality

Long, Jane J; Hong, Jingyao; Liu, Yi; Nalatwad, Akanksha; Li, Yiting; Ghildayal, Nidhi; Johnston, Emily A; Schwartzberg, Jordan; Ali, Nicole; Oermann, Eric; Mankowski, Michal; Gelb, Bruce E; Chanan, Emily L; Chodosh, Joshua L; Mathur, Aarti; Segev, Dorry L; McAdams-DeMarco, Mara A
BACKGROUND:Kidney transplant (KT) candidates often experience hospitalizations, increasing their delirium risk. Hospitalizations and delirium are associated with worse post-KT outcomes, yet their relationship with pre-KT outcomes is less clear. Pre-KT delirium may worsen access to KT due to its negative impact on cognition and ability to maintain overall health. METHODS:Using a prospective cohort of 2374 KT candidates evaluated at a single center (2009-2020), we abstracted hospitalizations and associated delirium records after listing via chart review. We evaluated associations between waitlist mortality and likelihood of KT with hospitalizations and hospitalized delirium using competing risk models and tested whether associations differed by gerontologic factors. RESULTS: < 0.001), with those aged ≥65 having a 61% lower likelihood of KT. CONCLUSION/CONCLUSIONS:Hospitalization and delirium are associated with worse pre-KT outcomes and have serious implications on candidates' access to KT. Providers should work to reduce preventable instances of delirium.

Association of Dialysate Bicarbonate with Arrhythmia in the Monitoring in Dialysis Study

Ravi, Katherine Scovner; Tumlin, James A; Roy-Chaudhury, Prabir; Koplan, Bruce A; Costea, Alexandru I; Kher, Vijay; Williamson, Don; McClure, Candace K; Charytan, David M; Mc Causland, Finnian R; ,
BACKGROUND:Sudden death accounts for approximately 25% of deaths among maintenance hemodialysis patients, occurring more frequently on hemodialysis days. Higher dialysate bicarbonate (DBIC) may predispose to alkalemia and arrhythmogenesis. METHODS:We conducted a 12-month analysis of session-level data from 66 patients with implantable loop recorders. We fit logistic regression and negative binomial mixed-effects regression models to assess the association of DBIC with clinically significant arrhythmia (ventricular tachycardia ≥115 beats per minute [BPM] for at least 30 seconds, bradycardia ≤40 BPM for at least 6 seconds, or asystole for at least 3 seconds) and reviewer confirmed arrhythmia (RCA—implantable loop recorder-identified or patient-marked event for which a manual review of the stored electrocardiogram tracing confirmed the presence of atrial fibrillation, supraventricular tachycardia, sinus tachycardia with rate >130 BPM, ventricular tachycardia, asystole, or bradycardia). Models adjusted for age, sex, race, hemodialysis vintage, vascular access, and prehemodialysis serum bicarbonate and additionally for serum and dialysate potassium levels. RESULTS:The mean age was 56±12 years, 70% were male, 53% were Black, and 35% were Asian. Fewer RCA episodes were associated with DBIC >35 than 35 mEq/L (incidence rate ratio 0.45 [0.27 to 0.75] and adjusted incident rate ratio 0.54 [0.30 to 0.97]), but the association was not significant when adjusting for serum and dialysate potassium levels (adjusted incident rate ratio, 0.60 [0.32 to 1.11]). Otherwise, no associations between DBIC and arrhythmia were identified. CONCLUSIONS:We observed a lower frequency of RCA with higher DBIC, compared with DBIC of 35 mEql/L, contrary to our original hypothesis, but this association was attenuated in fully adjusted models. Validation of these findings in larger studies is required, with a further need for interventional studies to explore the optimal DBIC concentration.

Dietary Restriction, Socioeconomic Factors, Access to Kidney Transplantation, and Waitlist Mortality

Johnston, Emily A; Hong, Jingyao; Nalatwad, Akanksha; Li, Yiting; Kim, Byoungjun; Long, Jane J; Ali, Nicole M; Krawczuk, Barbara; Mathur, Aarti; Orandi, Babak J; Chodosh, Joshua; Segev, Dorry L; McAdams-DeMarco, Mara A
INTRODUCTION/BACKGROUND:Dietary restrictions for patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) are burdensome. Kidney transplantation (KT) candidates who lack neighborhood resources and are burdened by dietary restrictions may have decreased access to KT. METHODS:In our two-center prospective cohort study (2014-2023), 2471 ESKD patients who were evaluated for KT (candidates) reported their perceived burden of dietary restrictions (not at all, somewhat/moderately, or extremely bothered). Neighborhood-level socioeconomic factors were derived from residential ZIP codes. We quantified the association of perceived burden of the dietary restrictions with a chance of listing using Cox models and risk of waitlist mortality using competing risks models. Then we tested whether these associations differed by neighborhood-level socioeconomic factors. RESULTS: = 0.02). The association between dietary burden and waitlist mortality did not differ by neighborhood-level healthy food access. CONCLUSION/CONCLUSIONS:The perceived burden of dietary restrictions is associated with a lower chance of listing for KT, and higher waitlist mortality only among candidates residing in neighborhoods with high food insecurity. Transplant centers should identify vulnerable patients and support them with nutrition education and access to food assistance programs.

Effects of semaglutide with and without concomitant SGLT2 inhibitor use in participants with type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease in the FLOW trial

Mann, Johannes F E; Rossing, Peter; Bakris, George; Belmar, Nicolas; Bosch-Traberg, Heidrun; Busch, Robert; Charytan, David M; Hadjadj, Samy; Gillard, Pieter; Górriz, José Luis; Idorn, Thomas; Ji, Linong; Mahaffey, Kenneth W; Perkovic, Vlado; Rasmussen, Søren; Schmieder, Roland E; Pratley, Richard E; Tuttle, Katherine R
People with type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease have a high risk for kidney failure and cardiovascular (CV) complications. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists and sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) independently reduce CV and kidney events. The effect of combining both is unclear. FLOW trial participants with type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease were stratified by baseline SGLT2i use (N = 550) or no use (N = 2,983) and randomized to semaglutide/placebo. The primary outcome was a composite of kidney failure, ≥50% estimated glomerular filtration rate reduction, kidney death or CV death. The risk of the primary outcome was 24% lower in all participants treated with semaglutide versus placebo (95% confidence interval: 34%, 12%). The primary outcome occurred in 41/277 (semaglutide) versus 38/273 (placebo) participants on SGLT2i at baseline (hazard ratio 1.07; 95% confidence interval: 0.69, 1.67; P = 0.755) and in 290/1,490 versus 372/1,493 participants not taking SGLT2i at baseline (hazard ratio 0.73; 0.63, 0.85; P < 0.001; P interaction 0.109). Three confirmatory secondary outcomes were predefined. Treatment differences favoring semaglutide for total estimated glomerular filtration rate slope (ml min-1/1.73 m2/year) were 0.75 (-0.01, 1.5) in the SGLT2i subgroup and 1.25 (0.91, 1.58) in the non-SGLT2i subgroup, P interaction 0.237. Semaglutide benefits on major CV events and all-cause death were similar regardless of SGLT2i use (P interaction 0.741 and 0.901, respectively). The benefits of semaglutide in reducing kidney outcomes were consistent in participants with/without baseline SGLT2i use; power was limited to detect smaller but clinically relevant effects.

Climate change and its implications for kidney health

Goldfarb, David S; Patel, Anuj A
PURPOSE OF REVIEW/OBJECTIVE:Extremes of weather as a result of climate change are affecting social, economic and health systems. Kidney health is being threatened by global warming while treatment of kidney disease is contributing to increasing resource utilization and leaving a substantial carbon footprint. Improved physician awareness and patient education are needed to mitigate the risk. RECENT FINDINGS/RESULTS:Rising temperatures are changing kidney disease patterns, with increasing prevalence of acute kidney injury, chronic kidney disease and kidney stones. These issues disproportionately affect people suffering from social inequality and limited access to resources. SUMMARY/CONCLUSIONS:In this article, we review the effects of climate change on kidney stones, and acute and chronic kidney injury. Finally, we discuss the impact of renal replacement therapies on the environment and proposed ways to mitigate it.

Geographic and racial variability in kidney, cardiovascular and safety outcomes with canagliflozin: A secondary analysis of the CREDENCE randomized trial

Cardoza, Kathryn; Kang, Amy; Smyth, Brendan; Yi, Tae Won; Pollock, Carol; Agarwal, Rajiv; Bakris, George; Charytan, David M; de Zeeuw, Dick; Wheeler, David C; Zhang, Hong; Cannon, Christopher P; Perkovic, Vlado; Arnott, Clare; Levin, Adeera; Mahaffey, Kenneth W
AIM/OBJECTIVE:To explore the effect of canagliflozin on kidney and cardiovascular events and safety outcomes in individuals with type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease across geographic regions and racial groups. MATERIALS AND METHODS/METHODS:A stratified Cox proportional hazards model was used to assess efficacy and safety outcomes by geographic region and racial group. The primary composite outcome was a composite of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), doubling of the serum creatinine (SCr) level, or death from kidney or cardiovascular causes. Secondary outcomes included: (i) cardiovascular death or heart failure (HF) hospitalization; (ii) cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction (MI) or stroke; (iii) HF hospitalization; (iv) doubling of the SCr level, ESKD or kidney death; (v) cardiovascular death; (vi) all-cause death; and (vii) cardiovascular death, MI, stroke, or hospitalization for HF or for unstable angina. RESULTS:The 4401 patients were divided into six geographic region subgroups: North America (n = 1182, 27%), Central and South America (n = 941, 21%), Eastern Europe (n = 947, 21%), Western Europe (n = 421, 10%), Asia (n = 749, 17%) and Other (n = 161, 4%). The analyses included four racial groups: White (n = 2931, 67%), Black or African American (n = 224, 5%), Asian (n = 877, 20%) and Other (n = 369, 8%). Canagliflozin reduced the relative risk of the primary composite outcome in the overall trial by 30% (hazard ratio 0.70, 95% confidence interval 0.59-0.82; P = 0.00001). Across geographic regions and racial groups, canagliflozin consistently reduced the primary composite endpoint without evidence of heterogeneity (interaction P values of 0.39 and 0.91, respectively) or significant safety outcome differences. CONCLUSIONS:Canagliflozin reduces the risk of kidney and cardiovascular events similarly across geographic regions and racial groups.

Cardiovascular outcomes with semaglutide by severity of chronic kidney disease in type 2 diabetes: the FLOW trial

Mahaffey, Kenneth W; Tuttle, Katherine R; Arici, Mustafa; Baeres, Florian M M; Bakris, George; Charytan, David M; Cherney, David Z I; Chernin, Gil; Correa-Rotter, Ricardo; Gumprecht, Janusz; Idorn, Thomas; Pugliese, Giuseppe; Rasmussen, Ida Kirstine Bull; Rasmussen, Søren; Rossing, Peter; Sokareva, Ekaterina; Mann, Johannes F E; Perkovic, Vlado; Pratley, Richard
BACKGROUND AND AIMS/OBJECTIVE:In the FLOW trial, semaglutide reduced the risks of kidney and cardiovascular (CV) outcomes and death in participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). These prespecified analyses assessed the effects of semaglutide on CV outcomes and death by CKD severity. METHODS:Participants were randomised to subcutaneous semaglutide 1 mg or placebo weekly. The main outcome was a composite of CV death, non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI) ornon-fatal stroke (CV death/MI/stroke) as well as death due to any cause by baseline CKD severity. CKD was categorised by eGFR < or ≥60 mL/min/1.73 m2, UACR < or ≥300 mg/g or KDIGO risk classification. RESULTS:3533 participants were randomised with a median follow-up of 3.4 years. Low/moderate KDIGO risk was present in 242 (6.9%), while 878 (24.9%) had high and 2412 (68.3%) had very high KDIGO risk. Semaglutide reduced CV death/MI/stroke by 18% (HR 0.82 [95% CI 0.68-0.98]; P = .03), with consistency across eGFR categories, UACR levels and KDIGO risk classification (all P-interaction >.13). Death due to any cause was reduced by 20% (HR 0.80 [0.67-0.95]; P = .01), with consistency across eGFR categories and KDIGO risk class (P-interaction .21 and .23, respectively). The P-interaction treatment effect for death due to any cause by UACR was .01 (<300 mg/g HR 1.17 [0.83-1.65]; ≥300 mg/g HR 0.70 [0.57-0.85]). CONCLUSIONS:Semaglutide significantly reduced the risk of CV death/MI/stroke regardless of baseline CKD severity in participants with T2D.

Association of Dialysate Bicarbonate with Arrhythmia in the Monitoring in Dialysis (MiD) Study

Ravi, Katherine Scovner; Tumlin, James A; Roy-Chaudhury, Prabir; Koplan, Bruce A; Costea, Alexandru I; Kher, Vijay; Williamson, Don; McClure, Candace K; Charytan, David M; Mc Causland, Finnian R; ,
BACKGROUND:Sudden death accounts for ∼25% of deaths among maintenance hemodialysis (HD) patients, occurring more frequently on HD days. Higher dialysate bicarbonate (DBIC) may predispose to alkalemia and arrhythmogenesis. METHODS:We conducted a 12-month analysis of session-level data from 66 patients with implantable loop recorders. We fit logistic regression and negative binomial mixed effects regression models to assess the association of DBIC with clinically significant arrhythmia (CSA - ventricular tachycardia ≥115 beats per minute (BPM) for at least 30 seconds, bradycardia ≤40 BPM for at least 6 seconds, or asystole for at least 3 seconds) and reviewer confirmed arrhythmia (RCA - implantable-loop-recorder-identified or patient-marked event for which a manual review of the stored ECG tracing confirmed the presence of atrial fibrillation, supraventricular tachycardia, sinus tachycardia with rate >130 BPM, ventricular tachycardia, asystole, or bradycardia). Models adjusted for age, sex, race, HD vintage, vascular access, and pre-HD serum bicarbonate and additionally for serum and dialysate potassium levels. RESULTS:Mean age was 56 ± 12 years, 70% were male, 53% were Black, and 35% were Asian. Fewer RCA episodes were associated with DBIC >35 than 35 mEq/L (incidence rate ratio [IRR] 0.45 (0.27, 0.75) and aIRR 0.54 (0.30, 0.97)), but the association was not significant when adjusting for serum and dialysate potassium levels (aIRR 0.60 (0.32, 1.11)). Otherwise, no associations between DBIC and arrhythmia were identified. CONCLUSIONS:We observed a lower frequency of RCA with higher DBIC, compared with DBIC of 35 mEql/L, contrary to our original hypothesis, but this association was attenuated in fully adjusted models. Validation of these findings in larger studies is required, with a further need for interventional studies to explore the optimal DBIC concentration.

Acute Kidney Injury, Systemic Inflammation, and Long-Term Cognitive Function: ASSESS-AKI

Bhatraju, Pavan K; Zelnick, Leila R; Stanaway, Ian B; Ikizler, T Alp; Menez, Steven; Chinchilli, Vernon M; Coca, Steve G; Kaufman, James S; Kimmel, Paul L; Parikh, Chirag R; Go, Alan S; Siew, Edward D; Wurfel, Mark M; Himmelfarb, Jonathan
KEY POINTS:This study highlights that AKI is associated with long-term cognitive decline. Soluble TNF receptor 1 concentrations seem to mediate a significant proportion of the risk of long-term cognitive impairment after AKI. BACKGROUND:Cognitive dysfunction is a well-known complication of CKD, but it is less known whether cognitive decline occurs in survivors after AKI. We hypothesized that an episode of AKI is associated with poorer cognitive function, mediated, at least in part, by persistent systemic inflammation. METHODS:Assessment, Serial Evaluation and Subsequent Sequelae of AKI enrolled patients surviving 3 months after hospitalization with and without AKI matched on the basis of demographics, comorbidities, and baseline kidney function. A subset underwent cognitive testing using the modified mini-mental status examination (3MS) at 3, 12, and 36 months. We examined the association of AKI with 3MS scores using mixed linear models and assessed the proportion of risk mediated by systemic inflammatory biomarkers. RESULTS:= 0.02) of the AKI-related risk for 3MS scores at 3 years. CONCLUSIONS:AKI was associated with lower 3MS scores, and Soluble TNF receptor 1 concentrations seemed to mediate a significant proportion of the risk of long-term cognitive impairment. Further work is needed to determine whether AKI is causal or a marker for cognitive impairment.
