Objective: To identify primary factors contributing to hemodialysis-related headache (HRH) in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients. Methods: Adult outpatients receiving MHD were prospectively enrolled from a hemodialysis (HD) center of a tertiary hospital in China. Twelve dialysis sessions were successively monitored for each patient. HRH is defined as having at least three headache episodes that begin during HD and resolve within 72 h of HD session completion. Blood gas analysis during headache episodes and body composition analysis after dialysis were conducted. Hour-to-hour vital sign variability during dialysis was assessed using the metric of average real variability (ARV). Multivariable logistic regression analysis was conducted to explore the factors triggering HRH. Results: A total of 95 Chinese MHD patients were enrolled, with 92 patients (60.9% were males) included in the final analysis. The mean age of the 92 patients was 59.3 ± 17.5 years, and the median dialysis vintage was 27.1 (12–46.2) months. Among them, 12 patients (13%) complained of 42 headache attacks, and eight (8.7%) were diagnosed with HRH. For eight patients with HRH, headache occurred 100.3 ± 69.5 min after the start of dialysis, with a mean VAS score of 4.3 ± 1 points. The quality of headaches was dull (six patients), pulsating (one patient), or stabbing pain (one patient); all the headaches were bilateral, with one having concomitant vomiting. The intradialysis headache duration and the whole headache duration were 98.8 ± 68.1 and 120 (65–217.5) minutes, respectively. Younger age (OR = 0.844, 95% CI 0.719–0.991, p = 0.039), decreased blood sodium level (OR = 0.309 in the range of 133–142 mmol/L, 95% CI 0.111–0.856, p = 0.024), increased ARV of intradialysis systolic blood pressure (OR = 3.067, 95% CI 1.006–9.348, p = 0.049) and ratio of overhydration to dry weight (OR = 1.990, 95% CI 1.033–3.832, p = 0.040) were found to be independent risk factors for HRH. Conclusions: This study suggested a significant attribution of blood sodium, hydration status and blood pressure variability to HRH. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

(1) Background: Inflammation plays an important role in the onset and progression of acute kidney injury (AKI). Despite this, evidence regarding the prognostic effect of the monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR), a novel systemic inflammation marker, among patients with AKI is scarce. This study sets out to investigate the prognostic potential of both baseline and early changes in MLR for short-term mortality among critically ill patients with AKI. (2) Method: Eligible patients with AKI from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV database were retrospectively analyzed. MLR cutoff values were determined using maximally selected rank statistics and tertiles. The clinical outcomes were 30-day and 90-day mortality in the intensive care unit. A restricted cubic splines model and Cox proportional hazards models were utilized to evaluate the association between the baseline MLR and short-term mortality. Then, the trends in MLR over time were compared between the 30-day survivors and non-survivors using a generalized additive mixed model (GAMM). (3) Result: A total of 15,986 patients were enrolled. Multivariable Cox regression analysis identified baseline MLR ≥ 0.48 as an independent risk factor predicting 30-day mortality (HR 1.33, 95%CI 1.24, 1.45, p < 0.001) and 90-day mortality (HR 1.34, 95%CI 1.23, 1.52, p < 0.001) after adjusting for potential confounders. Similar trends were observed for 30-day and 90-day mortality when tertiles were used to group patients. The restricted cubic splines model revealed a non-linear association between MLR and 30-day and 90-day mortality (both p for non-linear < 0.001, both p for overall < 0.001). The area under the curve of 0.64 for MLR was higher than that of monocytes (0.55) and lymphocytes (0.61). In the subgroup analyses, despite the noted significant interactions, the direction of the observed association between MLR and 30-day mortality was consistent across most prespecified subgroups, except for shock and black ethnicity. The GAMM results highlighted that, as time went on, MLR in the 30-day survival group consistently declined, whereas MLR in the non-survival group rose within 15 days post-ICU admission. The difference between the two groups persisted significantly even after adjusting for confounders (p = 0.006). (4) Conclusion: A higher baseline MLR was identified as an independent risk factor predicting 30-day and 90-day mortality. The early increase in MLR was associated with high 30-day mortality, suggesting that dynamic monitoring of MLR could potentially better predict survival in critically ill patients with AKI.

Background There is little information on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of sacubitril/valsartan (SV) in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD) complicated with hypertension or heart failure (HF). This study was designed to evaluate the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of SV in PD patients with complications of hypertension or HF. Methods This was an open-label and cross-sectional study investigating PD patients diagnosed with hypertension or New York Heart Association Class II–IV HF. The concentrations of valsartan, sacubitril and sacubitrilat (LBQ657) were measured by ultra-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry in plasma, urine and peritoneal dialysate samples. Pharmacodynamics were evaluated by comparing changes in mean sitting systolic blood pressure (msSBP), mean sitting diastolic blood pressure (msDBP), mean sitting heart rate, N-terminal-pro B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). Results Forty patients with PD were enrolled including 27 (67.5%) patients with hypertension, 4 (10%) patients with HF and 9 (22.5%) patients with both hypertension and HF. This study included three treatment cohorts: 50 mg twice daily (BID), 100 mg once daily and 100 mg BID. The plasma maximum drug concentrations in the 100 mg BID group were 1995 ± 1499 ng/mL for valsartan, 171 ± 148 ng/mL for sacubitril and 13 686 ± 7418 ng/mL for LBQ657. The 24-h recovery rate of LBQ657 was 3.77% in urine and 2.23% in peritoneal dialysate. After taking SV, msSBP and msDBP decreased by 19.25 ± 10.32 mmHg and 10.10 ± 8.00 mmHg from baseline, respectively. NT-proBNP decreased by 1436.50 (0.00–18 198.00) from baseline, while LVEF increased by 5.00 (–0.25 to 9.25) from baseline after SV treatment. Conclusions PD and residual renal function contributed only to a minor degree to the elimination of LBQ657. Additionally, a dose of 100 mg BID SV is safe and effective in patients with PD with complications of hypertension or HF. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Summary: Primary hypertrophic osteoarthropathy (PHO) is a hereditary bone disease that is grouped into PHO autosomal recessive 1 (PHOAR1) and PHO autosomal recessive 2 (PHOAR2) due to different causative genes. Data comparing bone microstructure between the two subtypes are scarce. This is the first study to find that PHOAR1 patients had inferior bone microstructure compared with PHOAR2 patients. Purpose: The primary goal of this study was to assess bone microarchitecture and strength in PHOAR1 and PHOAR2 patients and to compare them with age- and sex-matched healthy controls (HCs). The secondary goal was to assess the differences between PHOAR1 and PHOAR2 patients. Methods: Twenty-seven male Chinese PHO patients (PHOAR1 = 7; PHOAR2 = 20) were recruited from Peking Union Medical College Hospital. The areal bone mineral density (aBMD) was assessed by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Peripheral bone microarchitecture at the distal radius and tibia were evaluated by high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT). Biochemical markers of PGE2, bone turnover, and Dickkopf-1 (DKK1) were investigated. Results: Compared with HCs, PHOAR1 and PHOAR2 patients had distinctively larger bone geometry, substantially lower vBMD at the radius and tibia, and compromised cortical microstructure at the radius. For trabecular bone, PHOAR1 and PHOAR2 patients showed different changes at the tibia. PHOAR1 patients had significant deficits in the trabecular compartment, resulting in lower estimated bone strength. Conversely, PHOAR2 patients showed a higher trabecular number, narrower trabecular separation, and lower trabecular network inhomogeneity than HCs, translating into preserved or slightly high estimated bone strength. Conclusion: PHOAR1 patients had inferior bone microstructure and strength compared with PHOAR2 patients and HCs. Additionally, this study was the first to find differences in the bone microstructure between PHOAR1 and PHOAR2 patients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this study was to systematically review relevant studies to evaluate the value of urinary interleukin-18 (uIL-18) in predicting acute kidney injury (AKI). A comprehensive search of PubMed, Medline, Embase, and Cochrane Library was conducted for literature published up to 1 August 2022. Quality Assessment Tool for Diagnostic Accuracy Studies-2 (QUADAS-2) was applied to assess the literature quality. Then, relevant data were extracted from each eligible study and a random-effects regression model was utilized to pool sensitivity, specificity, and construct summary receiver operating characteristic (SROC) and area under curve (AUC). Twenty-six studies with 7183 patients were enrolled and relevant information was extracted. The estimated sensitivity and specificity of uIL-18 in the diagnosis of AKI were 0.64 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.54–0.73) and 0.77 (95%CI: 0.71–0.83), respectively. The pooled diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) was 6.08 (95%CI: 3.63–10.18), and the AUC of uIL-18 in predicting AKI was 0.78 (95%CI: 0.74–0.81). Subgroup analysis showed that uIL-18 in pediatric patients was more effective in predicting AKI than in adults (DOR: 7.33 versus 5.75; AUC: 0.81 versus 0.77). Urinary IL-18 could be a relatively good biomarker with moderate predictive value for AKI, especially in pediatric patients. However, further research and clinical settings are still needed to validate our findings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The negative effects of obesity on the cardiovascular health have drawn much attention. Weight-adjusted-waist index (WWI) has been proved to reflect weight-independent centripetal obesity. However, the association between WWI and abdominal aortic calcification (AAC) has not been reported before. Using data from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2013–2014, we aimed to determine the relationship of WWI and AAC in adults aged ≥ 40 years. WWI was determined by dividing waist circumference by the square root of weight. AAC was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and quantified by Kauppila scores. Severe AAC (SAAC) was defined as an AAC score > 6. We utilized weighed multivariable logistic regression and generalized additive model to explore the independent association between WWI and AAC. Threshold effects were further calculated by two-piecewise linear regression model. 3082 participants were enrolled in our analysis, of which 48.2% were male. WWI was positively associated with AAC scores (β = 0.34, 95% CI 0.05–0.63) and exhibited a nonlinear relationship with SAAC. On the left of the breakpoint (WWI = 11.11), WWI and SAAC were positively associated (OR = 2.86, 95% CI 1.40–5.84), while no such relationship was found on the right (OR = 1.07, 95% CI 0.77–1.48). Our findings indicated that WWI may serve as a simple biomarker of AAC in US adults aged ≥ 40 years. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

NON-alcoholic fatty liver disease ,HEALTH & Nutrition Examination Survey - Abstract
Background: Systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) is a novel inflammatory marker, and inflammation has been reported to be related with renal damage. We aimed to investigate the possible relationship between SII and albuminuria. Methods: The present cross-sectional study was conducted among adults with complete data about SII and urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR) in 2005–2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). SII was calculated as the platelet count × neutrophil count/lymphocyte count. Albuminuria was defined as ACR >30mg/g. Weighted multivariable regression analysis and subgroup analysis were conducted to explore the independent relationship between SII and albuminuria. Results: A total of 36,463 individuals were included in our analysis; 9.56% participants were categorized as having albuminuria overall and increased with the higher SII tertiles (tertile 1, 7.83%; tertile 2, 8.49%; tertile 3, 12.13%; p for trend <0.0001). Multivariable logistic regression showed that a higher SII level was associated with increased likelihood of albuminuria independently (OR = 1.31; 95% CI, 1.17–1.48, p<0.0001) after full adjustment. Subgroup analysis and interaction test showed that there was no significant dependence of gender, age, body mass index, hypertension, diabetes, non‐alcoholic fatty liver disease, and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) on this positive association (all p for interaction >0.05). Conclusions: SII was positively associated with increased urinary albumin excretion in US adults. Further large-scale prospective studies are still needed to analyze the role of SII in albuminuria.

KIDNEY stones ,HEALTH & Nutrition Examination Survey ,INSULIN resistance - Abstract
Aims: We aimed to assess the association between triglyceride–glucose (TyG) index and kidney stones in US adults. Methods: Data were obtained from the 2007–2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Participants aged ≥18 years who were not pregnant and provided complete data about TyG index and kidney stones were included in the analysis. Weighted multivariable regression analysis and subgroup analysis were preformed to estimate the independent relationship between TyG index and nephrolithiasis and recurrence. Results: A total of 20,972 participants were included with the mean TyG index of 8.71 ± 0.72. The prevalence rates of nephrolithiasis and recurrence were 9.30% and 3.17% overall and increased with the higher TyG index tertiles (Nephrolithiasis: Tertile 1, 6.98%; Tertile 2, 9.15%; Tertile 3, 11.98%, p < 0.01; Recurrence: Tertile 1, 1.84%; Tertile 2, 3.27%; Tertile 3, 4.50%, p < 0.01). Each unit increase in TyG index was associated with 12% and 26% higher odds of nephrolithiasis [odds ratio (OR) = 1.12; 95% CI: 1.02–1.22; p = 0.02] and recurrence (OR = 1.26; 95% CI: 1.08–1.46; p < 0.01). Interaction tests indicated no significant effect of gender, age, body mass index, hypertension, and diabetes on this association between TyG index and kidney stones. Conclusions: Higher TyG index was associated with an increased likelihood of nephrolithiasis and recurrence. Considering TyG index is a reliable indicator of insulin resistance (IR). Treatment and management of IR at a younger age may improve or alleviate the occurrence and recurrence of kidney stones. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Aims: This study aimed to assess the relationship between dietary inflammatory index (DII) and sex hormones in male children and adolescents aged 6-19 years. Methods: We obtained data from the 2013-2016 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Male participants aged 6-19 years old with the complete data of DII and sex hormones were included. Weighted multiple regression analysis and subgroup analysis were preformed to estimate the independent relationship between DII and sex hormones. Results: A total of 1717 male participants with the average age of 13.02 ± 3.82 years were enrolled, of whom 41.3% (n=713) were children and 58.47% (n=1004) were adolescents. In children, mean DII was 0.18 ± 1.67, with scores ranging from -4.53 to 4.08. As for adolescents, the mean DII was 0.36 ± 1.98, mean total testosterone (TT) was 376.94 ± 206.69 ng/dl overall. A negative association between DII with TT and estradiol (E2) was observed (TT: β=-11.97, P=0.0006; E2: β=-0.45, P=0.0108) in male adolescent. Subgroup analysis and interaction test results indicated that this association was similar in male adolescents with different body mass index. No statistically significant association was observed in children. Conclusions: Pro-inflammatory diet was associated with lower TT and E2 level in male adolescent, while no association with statistical significance between them was observed in male children. However, more studies are still needed to validate the causal relationship between DII and sex hormones. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Sepsis is defined as a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection and is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Circulating histones (CHs), a group of damage-associated molecular pattern molecules mainly derived from neutrophil extracellular traps, play a crucial role in sepsis by mediating inflammation response, organ injury and death through Toll-like receptors or inflammasome pathways. Herein, we first elucidate the molecular mechanisms of histone-induced inflammation amplification, endothelium injury and cascade coagulation activation, and discuss the close correlation between elevated level of CHs and disease severity as well as mortality in patients with sepsis. Furthermore, current state-of-the-art on anti-histone therapy with antibodies, histone-binding proteins (namely recombinant thrombomodulin and activated protein C), and heparin is summarized to propose promising approaches for sepsis treatment.

Aim: Vascular calcification (VC) is a common complication in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and has been shown to be associated with increased cardiovascular events and mortality. This study was to explore the role of Wnt‐signaling pathway in CKD VC, and the association between VC and blood pressure variability (BPV) which is a risk factor of cardiovascular events. Methods: Adult male Sprague‐Dawley rats were divided into adenine‐induced CKD group (n = 5), 5/6 nephrectomy CKD group (n = 5), sham group (n = 5) and control group (n = 5). Low‐calcium‐high‐phosphate diets were introduced to induce vascular calcification. Both daytime (hour‐to‐hour during the day) and mid‐term (day‐to‐day for 9 days) blood pressure (BP) were collected and analyzed for BPV metrics. At sacrifice, kidney, heart and aorta samples were taken for histological analyses. Calcium deposition in aorta was identified with Alizarin Red stain and graded. Immunohistochemistry stain and western blot were performed for Wnt3a, Wnt5a, β‐catenin, sclerostin, osteopontin, and α‐SMA. Results: Compared with control rats, CKD rats suffered from markedly severer VC (Grade 2.6 ± 0.2 and 1.8 ± 0.8 vs 0.0 ± 0.0 and 0.2 ± 0.4, P =.0010). VC was positively correlated with vascular Wnt3a and β‐catenin expression (P =.0032 and.0000), but not significantly associated with Wnta5a or sclerostin. Besides, CKD rats showed increased BPV (P <.001), which was also positively correlated with VC. Conclusion: We confirmed that CKD rats had enhanced Wnt‐signaling in vascular tissue and severer aorta calcification together with increased BPV. Wnt pathway may be a potential target in future VC and BPV management in CKD. SUMMARY AT A GLANCE: Vascular calcification was positively correlated with Wnt‐signaling and blood pressure variability (BPV) based on two experimental CKD models. These findings provide a new potential target for BPV management. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Coronary artery calcifications (CACs) are common among maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients and associated with increased morbidity and mortality due to cardiovascular events. The insight into chronic kidney disease‐mineral and bone disorder (CKD‐MBD) established a correlation between dysregulated mineral metabolism and CACs. This study aimed to identify the association of mineral content outside of bone (MCOB) with CACs and cardiovascular events in MHD patients. In the pilot prospective study with no intervention, patients underwent body composition assessment by body composition monitor after hemodialysis and computed tomography examination using the Agatston scoring method simultaneously within a week. The primary end point included cardiovascular events and cardiovascular death. Correlations and receiver operating characteristic analysis elucidated the associations of MCOB with CACs; multivariate analysis assessed the cardiovascular risk for groups with different MCOB. One hundred three eligible patients with an average age of 48 (35‐63) years old were enrolled and followed up to 12 (11‐12.5) months, among which 52.4% had detectable CACs at baseline. MCOB showed an inverse correlation with Agatston score and significantly discriminated the patients with Agatston score > 0 (AUC = 0.737; P < 0.001) and 400 (AUC = 0.733; P < 0.001). MCOB ≤ 9.2657 mg/kg was an independent risk factor for CACs (OR = 4.853; P = 0.044) and strong predictor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality (HR = 10.108; P = 0.042), as well as rehospitalization (HR = 2.689; P = 0.004). MCOB inversely correlated with the presence and extent of CACs, and could discriminate Agatston score > 0 and 400, which also presented as an independent indicator for CKD‐MBD and 1‐year cardiovascular prognosis in adult MHD patients. Additional studies are required for identifying this issue. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Blood pressure variability (BPV) is a potential prognostic predictor for all-cause mortality. Objectives: We conducted a retrospective cohort study to compare the prognostic value of long-term BPV with intra-dialytic BPV in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Materials and Methods: We included 611 HD patients and collected their baseline blood pressure (BP) measurements for 1 year and monitored them for 40 months. Long-term BPV was assessed by pre-dialysis BP SD and pre-dialysis absolute BP residual metric. Intra-dialytic BPV was assessed by intra-dialytic BP average real variability and intra-dialytic absolute BP residual. Results: Long-term systolic BPV showed a weak correlation with mean BP, but a stronger correlation with intra-dialytic BPV. High long-term systolic blood pressure (SBP) SD and long-term SBP residual metrics were associated with high all-cause mortality (p = 0.0084 and 0.0056, respectively), while no such association was found for intra-dialytic BPV or diastolic BPV. According to receiver operating characteristic curve with mortality as dependent variable, long-term SBP residual metric showed the strongest prognostic ability (area under curve [AUC] 0.679, p = 0.0006), which was even stronger in patients with BP ≥140/90 mm Hg (AUC 0.713, p = 0.0004). After completely adjusting for confounders, long-term SBP residual metric remained significantly associated with all-cause mortality (hazard ratio 1.628 per quartile; 95% CI 1.086–2.441). Conclusions: Our results suggest long-term SBP residual metric to be a better predictor of all-cause mortality in HD patients, which could be used as an additional target for BP management.

Background: Blood pressure variability (BPV) is a potential prognostic predictor for all-cause mortality. Objectives: We conducted a retrospective cohort study to compare the prognostic value of long-term BPV with intra-dialytic BPV in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Materials and Methods: We included 611 HD patients and collected their baseline blood pressure (BP) measurements for 1 year and monitored them for 40 months. Long-term BPV was assessed by pre-dialysis BP SD and pre-dialysis absolute BP residual metric. Intra-dialytic BPV was assessed by intra-dialytic BP average real variability and intra-dialytic absolute BP residual. Results: Long-term systolic BPV showed a weak correlation with mean BP, but a stronger correlation with intra-dialytic BPV. High long-term systolic blood pressure (SBP) SD and long-term SBP residual metrics were associated with high all-cause mortality (p = 0.0084 and 0.0056, respectively), while no such association was found for intra-dialytic BPV or diastolic BPV. According to receiver operating characteristic curve with mortality as dependent variable, long-term SBP residual metric showed the strongest prognostic ability (area under curve [AUC] 0.679, p = 0.0006), which was even stronger in patients with BP ≥140/90 mm Hg (AUC 0.713, p = 0.0004). After completely adjusting for confounders, long-term SBP residual metric remained significantly associated with all-cause mortality (hazard ratio 1.628 per quartile; 95% CI 1.086–2.441). Conclusions: Our results suggest long-term SBP residual metric to be a better predictor of all-cause mortality in HD patients, which could be used as an additional target for BP management.

Background/Aims: Blood pressure variability (BPV) is a novel cardiovascular risk factor for the population undergoing hemodialysis (HD). Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of 526 HD patients. Four short-term peridialysis BPV metrics were analyzed: systolic blood pressure (SBP) change, SBP coefficient of variation (CV), SBP intradialytic average real variability (ARV), and absolute SBP residual. Multi variate analysis with Cox regression models were used to account for the potential confounders. Results: Short-term BPV is found to be affected by age, pre-dialysis SBP, antihypertensive drugs, dialysis time, and vascular access. Calcium-channel blockers (CCBs) were found to be associated with lower BPV than those on non-CCB therapy or no antihypertensive drugs. Patients dialyzed in the morning had a greater absolute SBP change than those dialyzed in the afternoon or evening. Patients using fistulas had a lower BPV than catheters. Higher BPV metrics including SBP CV (unadjusted hazard ratio [HR]: 1.37, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.14-1.66, p=0.001), SBP intradialytic ARV (unadjusted HR: 1.46, 95% CI: 1.20-1.77, p< 0.001), and SBP residual (unadjusted HR: 1.47, 95% CI: 1.21-1.79, p< 0.001) were associated with a greater risk of cardiovascular events. After complete multivariate adjustment for other potential confounders, the HR remained statistically significant for SBP intradialytic ARV (HR 1.31, 95% CI: 1.04-1.66, p=0.024). Conclusion: Peridialytic BPV may be a potential target for improved blood pressure (BP) management in HD patients. Each short-term BPV metric has different advantages and disadvantages and should be applied according to the clinical context and purpose. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
