Here, it is proposed that this relative relationship is described by a simple ratio (Volume<sub>new</sub>/Volume<sub>old</sub>)<sup>2/3</sup> up to a critical break-point volume, beyond which further volume increase is less beneficial in terms of transport.\u0000<strong>Method:</strong> To scrutinize this hypothesis, experiments were conducted in a rat model of PD alongside a retrospective analysis of clinical data from a prior study. Rats underwent PD with either three consecutive fills of 8+8+8 mL (n=10) or 12+12+12 mL (n=10), with 45-minute dwell time intervals. This approach yielded sixty estimations of water and solute transport, characterized by osmotic conductance to glucose (OCG) and solute diffusion capacities, respectively.\u0000<strong>Results:</strong> Comparative analysis of the predictive efficacy of the two models – the simple ratio versus the break-point model – was performed using Monte Carlo cross-validation. The break-point model emerged as a superior predictor for both water and solute transport, demonstrating its capability to characterize both experimental and clinical data.\u0000<strong>Conclusion:</strong> The present analysis indicates that relatively simple calculations can be used to approximate clinical effects on transport when prescribing a lower or higher fill volume to patients on PD.","PeriodicalId":501513,"journal":{"name":"medRxiv - Nephrology","volume":"206 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139657021","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}

Insights into ADPKD progression could lead to earlier detection and management prior to end stage kidney disease (ESKD). We sought to identify patients with rapid decline (RD) in kidney function and to determine clinical factors associated with RD using a data-driven approach. Methods A retrospective cohort study was performed among patients with incident ADPKD (1/1/2002-12/31/2018). Latent class mixed models were used to identify RD patients using rapidly declining eGFR trajectories over time. Predictors of RD were selected based on agreements among feature selection methods, including logistic, regularized, and random forest modeling. The final model was built on the selected predictors and clinically relevant covariates. Results Among 1,744 patients with incident ADPKD, 125 (7%) were identified as RD. Feature selection included 42 clinical measurements for adaptation with multiple imputations; mean (SD) eGFR was 85.2 (47.3) and 72.9 (34.4) in the RD and non-RD groups, respectively. Multiple imputed datasets identified variables as important features to distinguish RD and non-RD groups with the final prediction model determined as a balance between area under the curve (AUC) and clinical relevance which included 6 predictors: age, sex, hypertension, cerebrovascular disease, hemoglobin, and proteinuria. Results showed 72%-sensitivity, 70%-specificity, 70%-accuracy, and 0.77-AUC in identifying RD. 5-year ESKD rates were 38% and 7% among RD and non-RD groups, respectively.

However, it is unclear whether intermittent exercise (IE) has a different effect on renal haemodynamics compared to continuous exercise (CE). This study aimed to compare the effects of intermittent or continuous exercise on renal haemodynamics and renal injury during moderate-intensity exercise.\u0000Methods Ten males underwent IE or CE to consider the effect of exercise on renal haemodynamics during moderate-intensity exercise. Renal haemodynamic assessment and blood-sampling were conducted before exercise (pre) and immediately (post 0), 30-min (post 30), and 60-min (post 60) after exercise. Urine-sampling was conducted in pre, post 0 and post 60.\u0000Results There was no condition-by-time interaction (p = 0.073), condition (p = 0.696), or time (p = 0.433) effects regarding renal blood flow. There was a condition-by-time interaction effect regarding noradrenaline concentrations (p = 0.037). Moreover, both conditions significantly increased noradrenaline concentration at post 0 (IE: p = 0.003, CE: p < 0.001) and remained significantly higher in post 30 (p < 0.001) and post 60 (p < 0.001). Significant difference was found in noradrenaline concentrations at post 0 when comparing IE and CE (399 ± 119 vs. 552 ± 224 pg/ml, p = 0.037). Urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin concentrations increased at post 60 (p = 0.009), but none of them exceeded the cutoff values for the definition of renal damage. Other renal injury biomarkers showed a similar pattern.\u0000Conclusion These findings suggest that IE has a similar effect on renal haemodynamics and function, and AKI biomarkers compared to CE.","PeriodicalId":501513,"journal":{"name":"medRxiv - Nephrology","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139584839","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 was a retrospective study involving 512 adult patients admitted to the ICU. All participants had laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 and a confirmed diagnosis of AKI. The potential predictors were the determination of the timing of KRT based on a temporal criterion (days since hospital admission) and that based on a serum creatinine cutoff criterion. Covariates included age, sex, and the SOFA score, as well as the need for mechanical ventilation and vasopressors. The main outcome measure was in-hospital mortality. We evaluated 512 patients, of whom 69.1% were men. The median age was 64 years. Of the 512 patients, 76.6% required dialysis after admission. The overall in-hospital mortality rate was 72.5%.

Hyperphosphatemia is frequent in CKD and a reason for increased morbidity and mortality as it generates hyperparathyroidism, high fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), and hypocalcemia. Available hyperphosphatemia therapies still have limitations, including risk of metal overload, cardiovascular calcification, and systemic adverse effects (AEs). Tenapanor is a new hyperphosphatemia treatment in CKD with sodium-hydrogen exchanger isoform 3 (NHE3) inhibition mechanism and low systemic AEs. Objectives: Discovering the effectivity and safety of tenapanor as hyperphosphatemia management in CKD. Method: Literature searching is performed by using pubmed and science direct with tenapanor, chronic kidney disease, and hyperphosphatemia as keywords. The literatures were selected using PRISMA algorithm version 2020. Literature was screened based on Population, Intervention, Comparison, and Outcome (PICO) criteria which are: CKD patients requiring dialysis as population, tenapanor or its combination with dialysis or phosphate binders as intervention, placebo or other phosphate binders without tenapanor as comparison, and serum phosphate, safety profile, and other pleiotropic benefits related to hyperphosphatemia management as the outcome. The included studies then assessed for risk of bias and qualitatively reviewed. Outcome: Tenapanor was able to reduce serum phosphate, generally in a dose-dependent manner. Tenapanor also suppressed FGF23 and parathyroid hormone, probably due to decreased serum phosphate. The frequent AEs was transient mild-to-moderate diarrhea in a dose-dependent manner. Tenapanor was generally well-tolerated with low systemic AEs due to its non-calcium, metal-free, and low-absorbed properties. Conclusion: Tenapanor is an effective and safe option for hyperphosphatemia management in CKD.","PeriodicalId":501513,"journal":{"name":"medRxiv - Nephrology","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138818523","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}

Moderate-severe CKD may modify incretin release, metabolism, or response.\u0000Methods: We performed 2-hour oral glucose tolerance testing (OGTT) in 59 people with non-diabetic CKD (eGFR<60 ml/min per 1.73 m2) and 39 matched controls. We measured total (tAUC) and incremental (iAUC) area under the curve of plasma total glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and total glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP). Fasting DPP-4 levels and activity were measured. Linear regression was used to adjust for demographic, body composition, and lifestyle factors. Results: Mean eGFR was 38 (13) and 89 (17)ml/min per 1.73 m2 in CKD and controls. GLP-1 iAUC and GIP iAUC were higher in CKD than controls with a mean of 1531 (1452) versus 1364 (1484) pMxmin, and 62370 (33453) versus 42365 (25061) pgxmin/ml, respectively. After adjustment, CKD was associated with 15271 pMxmin/ml greater GIP iAUC (95% CI 387, 30154) compared to controls. Adjustment for covariates attenuated associations of CKD with higher GLP-1 iAUC (adjusted difference, 122, 95% CI -619, 864).
