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.

Background Cerebral blood flow (CBF) may decrease during intermittent hemodialysis (IHD). Patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) may be more vulnerable to cerebral hypoperfusion than patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), due to concomitant critical illness and hemodynamic instability. Methods In this observational, prospective study, we measured mean flow velocity at the level of the middle cerebral artery by transcranial Doppler at the start, after 2 h and at the end of a hemodialysis session in 15 consecutive patients with AKI and critical illness referred to the nephrological intensive care unit of a university hospital and in 12 patients with ESRD on regular treatment thrice weekly, who served as controls. We compared end-dialysis changes from baseline in mean flow velocity between the study groups and examined the correlation between this change and that of other relevant clinical parameters. Results Mean flow velocity decreased significantly at end-dialysis in the patients with AKI, but not in those with ESRD (P = 0.02). This difference persisted after adjusting for baseline mean flow velocity and net ultrafiltration volume. No significant correlations were found in either group between changes in mean flow velocity and changes in mean blood pressure (AKI: r = −0.27, P = 0.34; ESRD: r = 0.15, P = 0.68), SUN (AKI: r = −0.33, P = 0.25; ESRD: r = 0.06, P = 0.85), plasma HCO3− (AKI: r = −0.52, P = 0.24; ESRD: r = −0.18, P = 0.59), hematocrit (AKI: r = 0.08, P = 0.71; ESRD: r = −0.19, P = 0.65) or arterial oxygen content (AKI: r = −0.17, P = 0.36; ESRD: r = −0.33, P = 0.43). Conclusions Our data suggest that AKI patients may be more vulnerable than ESRD patients to cerebral hypoperfusion during IHD. Our findings do not support a clear-cut role of rapid changes in blood osmolarity, rheological properties or vasoreactivity of the cerebral circulation to O2 supply in modulating CBF during hemodialysis.

Background. Prolonged intermittent renal replacement therapy (PIRRT) is a dialysis modality for critically ill patients that in theory combines the superior detoxification and haemodynamic stability of the continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) with the operational convenience, reduced haemorrhagic risk and low cost of conventional intermittent haemodialysis. However, the extent to which PIRRT should replace these other modalities is uncertain because comparative studies of mortality are lacking. We retrospectively examined the mortality data from three general intensive care units (ICUs) in different countries that have switched their predominant therapeutic approach from CRRT to PIRRT. We assessed whether this practice change was associated with a change in mortality rate.Methods. Data were analysed from ICUs in New Zealand, Australia and Italy. The study population comprised all patients requiring renal replacement therapy from 1 January 1995 to 31 December 2005 (n = 1347), the period of time spanning the change from CRRT to PIRRT in each unit. Poisson regression models were used to estimate the incident rate ratio (IRR) for death, comparing the periods before and after change to PIRRT in each unit. Estimates were adjusted for patient illness severity (APACHE II score) and for the underlying time trend in mortality rate over time.Results. The change from CRRT to PIRRT was not associated with any increase in mortality rate, with an adjusted IRR of 1.02 (0.61–1.71). The IRR was virtually identical in the three ICUs (P-value = 0.63 for the difference in the IRR between ICUs).Conclusions. Switching from CRRT to PIRRT was not associated with a change in mortality rate. Pending the results of a randomized trial, our study provides evidence that PIRRT might be equivalent to CRRT in the general ICU patient. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: Background context: Fungal spondylodiscitis is often because of Candida albicans or other common Candida species, whereas unusual strains such as Candida sake are often thought to be nonpathogenic. Purpose: To report the first case of spondylodiscitis caused by C sake and its outcome after antimycotic therapy; as the disease occurred in a patient undergoing hemodialysis (HD), we also discuss the potential conditions related to the uremic state and to HD itself, which may predispose to spondylodiscitis. Study design/setting: Case report. Methods: Report of the patient’s clinical findings and review of the literature concerning spondylodiscitis in HD patients and infections caused by C sake. Results: The patient was a 48-year-old woman with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) undergoing HD who presented with back pain; spine computed tomographic (CT) scans showed lumbar spondylodiscitis with large bilateral abscesses in the psoas muscles, with an imaging appearance resembling that of Pott’s disease. Surprisingly, C sake was isolated from the cultures of the liquid obtained by CT-guided aspiration of both abscesses, and fluconazole therapy was strikingly effective in inducing abscess regression and healing of spondylodiscitis. Conclusions: In patients with chronic disorders such as ESRD, spondylodiscitis can also be caused by rare fungal strains that are usually thought to be nonpathogenic; a correct diagnostic workup is essential, as such forms can promptly respond to common antimycotic agents.
