Incremental dialysis is a standard approach in peritoneal dialysis prescription, with a focus on the quality parameter of nephroprotection. The same should apply in hemodialysis, with individualization of the prescribed extracorporeal technique: frequency, duration and intensity, in either home or center hemodialysis, are prescription variables to adjust according to the patient’s residual renal function, medical condition and psycho-social priorities. Considering that fluid balance and smooth ultrafiltration critically impact patient survival, incremental dialysis schedules need to be carefully tailored and grounded in routine residual kidney function measurement. This paper raises concerns about both the benefits of incremental dialysis and its putative detrimental effects, these being mainly dependent on the quality of the hemodialysis prescription and external economic constraints. As a comparator, incremental peritoneal dialysis is a scientifically based model to pursue, whichever the modality, based on updated concepts of patient-centered prescription and adequacy in dialytic renal replacement therapies.","PeriodicalId":366938,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin de la Dialyse à Domicile","volume":"185 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134441339","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This results in a simulated state of hypoxia allowing the accumulation of HIF-α in the cells followed by coordinated erythropoiesis with erythropoietin synthesis, decreased hepatic hepcidin production and optimization of iron metabolism. HIF stabilizers have only been studied in non-inferiority clinical trials versus erythropoiesis stimulating agents (ESAs). The primary endpoint for the therapeutic trials of all these different molecules was the change in hemoglobin level. Dustat corrects anemia in advanced non-dialysis and dialysis CKD in a similar way to ESAs.Six HIF stabilizers molecules are in advanced development: Roxadustat, Daprodustat, Vadadustat, Enarodustat, Desidustat and Molidustat. Only Roxadustat or Evrenzo®, currently has a marketing authorization in Europe obtained in August 2021. Only two studies have been dedicated to peritoneal dialysis, one with Roxadustat, the other with Daprodustat.

Home dialysis techniques have been associated with clinical outcomes that are equivalent and sometimes superior to those of in-center hemodialysisTransitions between treatment modalities are crucial moments. Transition periods are known as periods of disruption in the patient’s life associated with major complications, greater vulnerability, greater mortality, and direct implications for quality of life. Currently, it is imperative to offer a personalized treatment adapted to the patient and adjusted over time.An integrated treatment unit with all dialysis treatments and a multidisciplinary team can improve results by establishing a life plan, promoting health education, medical and psychosocial stabilization, and the reinforcement of health self-care. These units will result in gains for the patient’s journey and will encourage home treatments and better transitions.Peritoneal dialysis as the initial treatment modality seems appropriate for many reasons and the limitations of the technique are largely overcome by the advantages (namely autonomy, preservation of veins, and preservation of residual renal function).The transition after peritoneal dialysis can (and should) be carried out with the primacy of home treatments. Assisted dialysis must be considered and countries must organize themselves to provide an assisted dialysis program with paid caregivers.The anticipation of the transition is essential to improve outcomes, although there are no predictive models that have high accuracy; this is particularly important in the transition to hemodialysis (at home or in-center) in order to plan autologous access that allows a smooth transition.","PeriodicalId":366938,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin de la Dialyse à Domicile","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125031569","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Beyond disease-related outcomes, there is an urgent need for clinicians to focus on implementation of validated patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) in routine care practice. This updated concept of high-quality renal care implies a changing paradigm, with a focus on patient experiences and health-related quality of life (HRQL) measures. This is even more crucial in end-stage renal disease, where adequate dialysis should aim at a multidimensional approach instead of only analytical targets. It is vital to emphasize interventions that positively affect the quality of life of the patient with CKD beyond improving their survival. Although the importance of using HRQL measures is well established, there has been resistance to their use in routine care. There are numerous tools to assess HRQL, but not all are easy to apply. It is essential to overcome these possible barriers and better adequate the HRQL tools to the patients. The shorter and simpler instruments are more appealing, as well as the electronic health questionnaires. The EuroQol-5 Dimensions tool (EQ5D) is a standardized measure of health status, is simple and quick, and provides information that can be used in economic assessments of healthcare.In this era of limited health resources, cost analysis and economic evaluations are becoming increasingly relevant. In dialysis units, sustainability management should include a pathway of integrated care, including home and center dialysis, that values the better adjustment of prescriptions to the individual patient. The authors advocate using the EQ5D to support this pathway of quality in dialysis units toward global health gains. The EQ5D is a PROM with a view centered on patient and sustainable health services.","PeriodicalId":366938,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin de la Dialyse à Domicile","volume":"28 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131653273","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
