Abstract

BackgroundCoronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-related short-term mortality is high in dialysis patients, but longer-term outcomes are largely unknown. We therefore assessed patient recovery in a large cohort of dialysis patients 3 months after their COVID-19 diagnosis.MethodsWe analyzed data on dialysis patients diagnosed with COVID-19 from 1 February 2020 to 31 March 2021 from the European Renal Association COVID-19 Database (ERACODA). The outcomes studied were patient survival, residence and functional and mental health status (estimated by their treating physician) 3 months after COVID-19 diagnosis. Complete follow-up data were available for 854 surviving patients. Patient characteristics associated with recovery were analyzed using logistic regression.ResultsIn 2449 hemodialysis patients (mean ± SD age 67.5 ± 14.4 years, 62% male), survival probabilities at 3 months after COVID-19 diagnosis were 90% for nonhospitalized patients (n = 1087), 73% for patients admitted to the hospital but not to an intensive care unit (ICU) (n = 1165) and 40% for those admitted to an ICU (n = 197). Patient survival hardly decreased between 28 days and 3 months after COVID-19 diagnosis. At 3 months, 87% functioned at their pre-existent functional and 94% at their pre-existent mental level. Only few of the surviving patients were still admitted to the hospital (0.8-6.3%) or a nursing home (∼5%). A higher age and frailty score at presentation and ICU admission were associated with worse functional outcome.ConclusionsMortality between 28 days and 3 months after COVID-19 diagnosis was low and the majority of patients who survived COVID-19 recovered to their pre-existent functional and mental health level at 3 months after diagnosis.

Abstract

BackgroundPatients on kidney replacement therapy (KRT) are at very high risk of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The triage pathway for KRT patients presenting to hospitals with varying severity of COVID-19 illness remains ill-defined. We studied the clinical characteristics of patients at initial and subsequent hospital presentations and the impact on patient outcomes.MethodsThe European Renal Association COVID-19 Database (ERACODA) was analysed for clinical and laboratory features of 1423 KRT patients with COVID-19 either hospitalized or non-hospitalized at initial triage and those re-presenting a second time. Predictors of outcomes (hospitalization, 28-day mortality) were then determined for all those not hospitalized at initial triage.ResultsAmong 1423 KRT patients with COVID-19 [haemodialysis (HD), n = 1017; transplant, n = 406), 25% (n = 355) were not hospitalized at first presentation due to mild illness (30% HD, 13% transplant). Of the non-hospitalized patients, only 10% (n = 36) re-presented a second time, with a 5-day median interval between the two presentations (interquartile range 2-7 days). Patients who re-presented had worsening respiratory symptoms, a decrease in oxygen saturation (97% versus 90%) and an increase in C-reactive protein (26 versus 73 mg/L) and were older (72 vs 63 years) compared with those who did not return a second time. The 28-day mortality between early admission (at first presentation) and deferred admission (at second presentation) was not significantly different (29% versus 25%; P = 0.6). Older age, prior smoking history, higher clinical frailty score and self-reported shortness of breath at first presentation were identified as risk predictors of mortality when re-presenting after discharge at initial triage.ConclusionsThis study provides evidence that KRT patients with COVID-19 and mild illness can be managed effectively with supported outpatient care and with vigilance of respiratory symptoms, especially in those with risk factors for poor outcomes. Our findings support a risk-stratified clinical approach to admissions and discharges of KRT patients presenting with COVID-19 to aid clinical triage and optimize resource utilization during the ongoing pandemic.

Abstract

Background In the general population with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), obesity is associated with an increased risk of mortality. Given the typically observed obesity paradox among patients on kidney function replacement therapy (KFRT), especially dialysis patients, we examined the association of obesity with mortality among dialysis patients or living with a kidney transplant with COVID-19. Methods Data from the European Renal Association COVID-19 Database (ERACODA) were used. KFRT patients diagnosed with COVID-19 between 1 February 2020 and 31 January 2021 were included. The association of Quetelet's body mass index (BMI) (kg/m2), divided into: Results In 3160 patients on KFRT (mean age: 65 years, male: 61%), 99 patients were lean, 1151 normal weight (reference), 1160 overweight, 525 obese I and 225 obese II/III. During follow-up of 3 months, 28, 20, 21, 23 and 27% of patients died in these categories, respectively. In the fully adjusted model, the hazard ratios (HRs) for 3-month mortality were 1.65 [95% confidence interval (CI): 1.10, 2.47], 1 (ref.), 1.07 (95% CI: 0.89, 1.28), 1.17 (95% CI: 0.93, 1.46) and 1.71 (95% CI: 1.27, 2.30), respectively. Results were similar among dialysis patients (N = 2343) and among those living with a kidney transplant (N = 817) (Pinteraction = 0.99), but differed by sex (Pinteraction = 0.019). In males, the HRs for the association of aforementioned BMI categories with 3-month mortality were 2.07 (95% CI: 1.22, 3.52), 1 (ref.), 0.97 (95% CI: 0.78. 1.21), 0.99 (95% CI: 0.74, 1.33) and 1.22 (95% CI: 0.78, 1.91), respectively, and in females corresponding HRs were 1.34 (95% CI: 0.70, 2.57), 1 (ref.), 1.31 (95% CI: 0.94, 1.85), 1.54 (95% CI: 1.05, 2.26) and 2.49 (95% CI: 1.62, 3.84), respectively. Conclusion In KFRT patients with COVID-19, on dialysis or a kidney transplant, obesity is associated with an increased risk of mortality at 3 months. This is in contrast to the obesity paradox generally observed in dialysis patients. Additional studies are required to corroborate the sex difference in the association of obesity with mortality.

Abstract

Background. The aim of this study was to identify trends in total, deceased donor (DD) and living donor (LD) kidney transplantation (KT) rates in European countries. Methods. The European Renal Association (ERA) Registry and the Global Observatory on Donation and Transplantation (GODT) databases were used to obtain the number of KTs in individual European countries between 2010 and 2018. General population counts were obtained from Eurostat or the national bureaus of statistics. The KT rate per million population (p.m.p.) and the average annual percentage change (APC) were calculated. Results. The total KT rate in the 40 participating countries increased with 1.9% annually [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.5, 2.2] from 29.6 p.m.p. in 2010 to 34.7 p.m.p. in 2018, reflecting an increase of 3.4 p.m.p. in the DD-KT rate (from 21.6 p.m.p. to 25.0 p.m.p.; APC 1.9%; 95% CI 1.3, 2.4) and of 1.5 p.m.p. in the LD-KT rate (from 8.1 p.m.p. to 9.6 p.m.p.; APC 1.6%; 95% CI 1.0, 2.3). The trends in KT rate varied widely across European countries. An East-West gradient was observed for DD-KT rate, with Western European countries performing more KTs. In addition, most countries performed fewer LD-KTs. In 2018, Spain had the highest DD-KT rate (64.6 p.m.p.) and Turkey the highest LD-KT rate (37.0 p.m.p.). Conclusions. The total KT rate increased due to a rise in the KT rate from DDs and to a lesser extent from LDs, with large differences between individual European countries.

Abstract

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Studies examining kidney failure patients with COVID-19 reported higher mortality in hemodialysis patients than in kidney transplant recipients. However, hemodialysis patients are often older and have more comorbidities. This study investigated the association of type of kidney replacement therapy with COVID-19 severity adjusting for differences in characteristics. METHOD: Data were retrieved from the European Renal Association COVID-19 Database (ERACODA), which includes kidney replacement therapy patients diagnosed with COVID-19 from all over Europe. We included all kidney transplant recipients and hemodialysis patients who presented between February 1st and December 1st 2020 and had complete information reason for COVID-19 screening and vital status at day 28. The diagnosis of COVID-19 was made based on a PCR of a nasal or pharyngeal swab specimens and/or COVID-19 compatible findings on a lung CT scan. The association of kidney transplantation or hemodialysis with 28-day mortality was examined using Cox proportional-hazards regression models adjusted for age, sex, frailty and comorbidities. Additionally, this association was investigated in the subsets of patients that were screened because of symptoms or have had routine screening. RESULTS: A total of 1,670 patients (496 functional kidney transplant recipients and 1,174 hemodialysis patients) were examined. 16.9% of kidney transplant recipients and 23.9% of hemodialysis patients died within 28 days of presentation. In an unadjusted model, the risk of 28-day mortality was 33% lower in kidney transplant recipients compared with hemodialysis patients (hazard ratio (HR): 0.67, 95% CI: 0.52, 0.85). However, in an age, sex and frailty adjusted model, the risk of 28-day mortality was 29% higher in kidney transplant recipients (HR=1.29, 95% CI: 1.00, 1.68), whereas in a fully adjusted model the risk was even 43% higher (HR=1.43, 95% CI: 1.06, 1.93). This association in patients who were screened because of symptoms (n=1,145) was similar (fully adjusted model HR=1.46, 95% CI: 1.05, 2.04). Results were similar when other endpoints were studied (e.g. risk for hospitalization, ICU admission or mortality beyond 28 days) as well as across subgroups. Only age was found to interact significantly, suggesting that the increased mortality risk associated with kidney transplantation was especially present in elderly subjects. CONCLUSION: In this study, kidney transplant recipients had a greater risk of a more severe course of COVID-19 compared with hemodialysis patients when adjusted for age, sex and comorbidities.

Abstract

In the general population with COVID-19, the male sex is an established risk factor for mortality, in part due to a more robust immune response to COVID-19 in women. Because patients on kidney function replacement therapy (KFRT) have an impaired immune response, especially kidney transplant recipients due to their use of immunosuppressants, we examined whether the male sex is still a risk factor for mortality among patients on KFRT with COVID-19. From the European Renal Association COVID-19 Database (ERACODA), we examined patients on KFRT with COVID-19 who presented between February 1st, 2020, and April 30th, 2021. 1204 kidney transplant recipients (male 62.0%, mean age 56.4 years) and 3206 dialysis patients (male 61.8%, mean age 67.7 years) were examined. Three-month mortality in kidney transplant recipients was 16.9% in males and 18.6% in females (p = 0.31) and in dialysis patients 27.1% in males and 21.9% in females (p = 0.001). The adjusted HR for the risk of 3-month mortality in males (vs females) was 0.89 (95% CI 65, 1.23, p = 0.49) in kidney transplant recipients and 1.33 (95% CI 1.13, 1.56, p = 0.001) in dialysis patients (pinteraction = 0.02). In a fully adjusted model, the aHR for the risk of 3-month mortality in kidney transplant recipients (vs. dialysis patients) was 1.39 (95% CI 1.02, 1.89, p = 0.04) in males and 2.04 (95% CI 1.40, 2.97, p interaction = 0.02). In patients on KFRT with COVID-19, the male sex is not a risk factor for mortality among kidney transplant recipients but remains a risk factor among dialysis patients. The use of immunosuppressants in kidney transplant recipients, among other factors, may have narrowed the difference in the immune response to COVID-19 between men and women, and therefore reduced the sex difference in COVID-19 mortality risk.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Kidney transplant patients are at high risk for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-related mortality. However, limited data are available on longer-term clinical, functional, and mental health outcomes in patients who survive COVID-19.METHODS: We analyzed data from adult kidney transplant patients in the European Renal Association COVID-19 Database who presented with COVID-19 between February 1, 2020, and January 31, 2021.RESULTS: We included 912 patients with a mean age of 56.7 (±13.7) y. 26.4% were not hospitalized, 57.5% were hospitalized without need for intensive care unit (ICU) admission, and 16.1% were hospitalized and admitted to the ICU. At 3 mo follow-up survival was 82.3% overall, and 98.8%, 84.2%, and 49.0%, respectively, in each group. At 3 mo follow-up biopsy-proven acute rejection, need for renal replacement therapy, and graft failure occurred in the overall group in 0.8%, 2.6%, and 1.8% respectively, and in 2.1%, 10.6%, and 10.6% of ICU-admitted patients, respectively. Of the surviving patients, 83.3% and 94.4% reached their pre-COVID-19 physician-reported functional and mental health status, respectively, within 3 mo. Of patients who had not yet reached their prior functional and mental health status, their treating physicians expected that 79.6% and 80.0%, respectively, still would do so within the coming year. ICU admission was independently associated with a low likelihood to reach prior functional and mental health status.CONCLUSIONS: In kidney transplant recipients alive at 3-mo follow-up, clinical, physician-reported functional, and mental health recovery was good for both nonhospitalized and hospitalized patients. Recovery was, however, less favorable for patients who had been admitted to the ICU.

Abstract

The present work reports the direct production of a high-entropy (HE) intermetallic CoNi0.3Fe0.3Cr0.15Al material with a B2 structure from mechanically activated elemental powder mixtures. Fast and efficient combustion synthesis (CS), spark plasma sintering (SPS), and reactive SPS (RSPS) methods were used to synthesize the HE powders and bulks. The formation of the main B2 phase along with some amounts of secondary BCC and FCC phases are reported, and L12 intermetallic (CS scheme) and BCC based on Cr (CS + SPS and RSPS schemes at 1000 °C) were observed in all samples. The interaction between the components during heating to 1600 °C of the mechanically activated mixtures and CS powders has been studied. It has been shown that the formation of the CoNi0.3Fe0.3Cr0.15Al phase occurs at 1370 °C through the formation of intermediate intermetallic phases (Al9Me2, AlCo, AlNi3) and their solid solutions, which coincidences well with thermodynamic calculations and solubility diagrams. Compression tests at room and elevated temperatures showed that the alloy obtained by the RSPS method has enhanced mechanical properties (σp = 2.79 GPa, σ0.2 = 1.82 GPa, ε = 11.5% at 400 °C) that surpass many known alloys in this system. High mechanical properties at elevated temperatures are provided by the B2 ordered phase due to the presence of impurity atoms and defects in the lattice. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Background: Kidney damage in lymphomas/leukemia’s presents with either acute kidney injury (AKI), chronic kidney disease (CKD), or both; and whilst AKI leads to evaluation often based on the clinical data, in some AKI and in almost all CKD cases kidney biopsy gives a clue to the diagnosis.Methods: A single center non-interventional retrospective study identified 36 patients with biopsy-proven kidney damage: 6 with Hodgkin’s lymphoma (HL), 18 with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma/leukemia (NHL/CLL), and 12 with lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma (LPL).Results: Fifty-eight percent males and 42% females mean age 56.2 ± 17.4 years, presented with nephrotic syndrome in 47.2%, and with AKI in 11.1% of cases; 75% of patients diagnosed with CKD; in 13.9% AKI was superimposed on CKD. Patients with NHL/CLL presented with AKI significantly more often compared to HL and LPL—44% versus 16.6% versus 0 respectively. Monoclonal immunoglobulin (MIg) related glomerulopathies (GP) were found in 83.3% versus 16.6% cases in the LPL and NHL/CLL sub-groups, respectively (p= 0.013). Patterns of damage included intracapillary monoclonal deposition disease, light and heavy chain amyloidosis, monotypic membranous nephropathy (MN), cryoglobulinemic glomerulonephritis (GN) and C3-GN in the LPL; and monotypic MN and proliferative GN with MIg deposits in the NHL/CLL sub-groups respectively. Paraneoplastic GPs were found in 83.3%, 38.8%, and 16.6% of patients with HL, NHL/CLL, LPL, respectively (HL vs LPL, p< 0.001), and included minimal change disease (MCD), focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), and IgA-nephropathy in the HL; membranoproliferative GN, MN, and MCD in NHL/CLL; and FSGS in the LPL sub-groups. Tubulointerstitial damage revealed in NHL/CLL sub-group only, and found in every other case with 80% of lymphoid infiltration.Conclusions: Pattern glomerular damage depends on lymphoma type: paraneoplastic GPs are typical for HL, MIg-related GPs dominate in LPL, NHL/CLL presents mainly as paraneoplastic with single MIg-related patterns. Tubulointerstitial damage due to specific kidney infiltration attributable to NHL/CLL.

Abstract

237Np isotope is one of the long-lived and hazardous components of the accumulated liquid radioactive waste (LRW). The potential for environmental contamination when the LRW is directly disposed of in deep geological stratum is a matter of concern. Np(V) is highly mobile in the groundwater, and numerous studies are focused on its interaction with natural geological systems and prospective engineered barriers for the radioactive waste repositories. In this work, we studied the neptunium behavior in simulated conditions of acidic liquid radioactive waste injection to the deep permeable stratum collector. To determine components of the host rock preferentially binding the neptunium, and to estimate the effect of elevated temperature on its mobility, a series of laboratory experiments on sorption and leaching of neptunium was carried out using synthetic acid LRW solution and real stratum-collector sand along with individual component simulants. It was found that neptunium sorption on stratum collector sands in the conditions of acidic waste injection is quite low. Clay minerals turned out to be the sorption-dominating components of the host rock for neptunium. Increase in temperature significantly enhances the retention of neptunium on solid phase. Solid-bound neptunium species are sufficiently stable over the two-year experimental time under ambient conditions. [Display omitted] • Neptunium sorption in simulated injection conditions is quite low. • Clay minerals are sorption dominating components of deep stratal bedrock. • Increase in temperature significantly enhances sorption. • Solid-bound at 150°С Np species are sufficiently stable over time even after cooling.

Abstract

Background: The aim of this study was to identify trends in total, deceased donor (DD) and living donor (LD) kidney transplantation (KT) rates in European countries., Methods: The European Renal Association (ERA) Registry and the Global Observatory on Donation and Transplantation (GODT) databases were used to obtain the number of KTs in individual European countries between 2010 and 2018. General population counts were obtained from Eurostat or the national bureaus of statistics. The KT rate per million population (p.m.p.) and the average annual percentage change (APC) were calculated., Results: The total KT rate in the 40 participating countries increased with 1.9% annually  [95%  confidence  interval  (CI) 1.5, 2.2] from 29.6 p.m.p. in 2010 to 34.7 p.m.p. in 2018, reflecting an increase of 3.4 p.m.p. in the DD-KT rate (from 21.6 p.m.p. to 25.0 p.m.p.; APC 1.9%; 95% CI 1.3, 2.4) and of 1.5 p.m.p. in the LD-KT rate (from 8.1 p.m.p. to 9.6 p.m.p.; APC 1.6%; 95% CI 1.0, 2.3). The trends in KT rate varied widely across European countries. An East-West gradient was observed for DD-KT rate, with Western European countries performing more KTs. In addition, most countries performed fewer LD-KTs. In 2018, Spain had the highest DD-KT rate (64.6 p.m.p.) and Turkey the highest LD-KT rate (37.0 p.m.p.)., Conclusions: The total KT rate increased due to a rise in the KT rate from DDs and to a lesser extent from LDs, with large differences between individual European countries., (© The Author(s) 2023.

Abstract

Background: The European Renal Association (ERA) Registry collects data on kidney replacement therapy (KRT) in patients with ESKD. This paper is a summary of the ERA Registry Annual Report 2020, also including comparisons among primary renal disease (PRD) groups., Methods: Data were collected from 52 national and regional registries from 34 European countries and countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea: 35 registries from 18 countries providing individual level data and 17 registries from 17 countries providing aggregated data. Using this data, KRT incidence and prevalence, kidney transplantation rates, expected remaining lifetimes and survival probabilities were calculated., Results: A general population of 654.9 million people was covered by the ERA Registry in 2020. The overall incidence of KRT was 128 per million population (p.m.p.). In incident KRT patients, 54% were older than 65 years, 63% were men and the most common PRD was diabetes mellitus (21%). Regarding initial treatment modality in incident patients, 85% received haemodialysis (HD), 11% received peritoneal dialysis (PD) and 4% received a pre-emptive kidney transplant. On 31 December 2020, the prevalence of KRT was 931 p.m.p. In prevalent patients, 45% were older than 65 years, 60% were men and glomerulonephritis was the most common PRD (18%). Of these patients, 58% were on HD, 5% on PD and 37% were living with a kidney transplant. The overall kidney transplantation rate in 2020 was 28 p.m.p., with a majority of kidney grafts from deceased donors (71%). The unadjusted 5-year survival, based on incident dialysis patient from 2011-15, was 41.8%. For patients having received a deceased donor transplant, the unadjusted 5-year survival probability was 86.2% and for patients having received a living donor transplant it was 94.4%. When comparing data by PRD group, differences were found regarding the distribution of age groups, sex and treatment modality received., Competing Interests: A.O. is the previous Editor-in-Chief of CKJ., (© The Author(s) 2023.
