RESUMEN
Nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) is an important transcription factor that activates antioxidant genes and increases detoxifying enzymes. Studies have shown that dietary compounds can activate the Nrf2 expression and improve the antioxidant response in patients with exacerbated oxidative stress, such as chronic kidney disease (CKD). We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of nutritional interventions on Nrf2 expression and phase II antioxidant enzymes in clinical trials in CKD. We searched PubMed, Lilacs, Embase, Scopus, and Cochrane Library databases of published clinical trials and the Cochrane tool was used for the quality assessment of the studies included. We reported this review according to the PRISMA and it was registered in PROSPERO (42023389619). Thirty-nine studies were included in this review; nine evaluated the Nrf2 expression and three showed an increase in its expression. Twenty-three studies found an increase in the antioxidant enzyme levels, including superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase. Moreover, a high risk of bias was found in most of the studies and high heterogeneity in the designs, type, and duration of supplementation administered. These results suggest that dietary supplementations have a promising effect on the antioxidant enzyme response, however, it is recommended that further studies should be carried out.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with increased mortality. Individual mortality prediction could be of interest to improve individual clinical outcomes. Using an independent regional dataset, the aim of the present study was to externally validate the recently published 2-year all-cause mortality prediction tool developed using machine learning. METHODS: A validation dataset of stage 4 or 5 CKD outpatients was used. External validation performance of the prediction tool at the optimal cutoff-point was assessed by the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC-ROC), accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity. A survival analysis was then performed using the Kaplan-Meier method. RESULTS: Data of 527 outpatients with stage 4 or 5 CKD were analyzed. During the 2 years of follow-up, 91 patients died and 436 survived. Compared to the learning dataset, patients in the validation dataset were significantly younger, and the ratio of deceased patients in the validation dataset was significantly lower. The performance of the prediction tool at the optimal cutoff-point was: AUC-ROC = 0.72, accuracy = 63.6%, sensitivity = 72.5%, and specificity = 61.7%. The survival curves of the predicted survived and the predicted deceased groups were significantly different (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: The 2-year all-cause mortality prediction tool for patients with stage 4 or 5 CKD showed satisfactory discriminatory capacity with emphasis on sensitivity. The proposed prediction tool appears to be of clinical interest for further development.
RESUMEN
Depression is common in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Experimental studies suggest the role of urea toxicity in depression. We assessed both the incidence of antidepressant prescriptions and depressive symptoms (measured by CESD (Center for Epidemiologic Depression) scale) in 2505 patients with CKD (Stage 3-4) followed up over 5 years in the Chronic Kidney Disease Renal Epidemiology and Information Network (CKD-REIN) cohort. We used a joint model to assess the association between the serum urea level and incident antidepressant prescriptions, and mixed models for the association between the baseline serum urea level and CESD score over the 5-year follow-up. Among the 2505 patients, 2331 were not taking antidepressants at baseline. Of the latter, 87 started taking one during a median follow-up of 4.6 years. After adjustment for confounding factors, the hazard ratio for incident antidepressant prescription associated with the serum urea level (1.28 [95%CI, 0.94,1.73] per 5 mmol/L increment) was not significant. After adjustment, the serum urea level was associated with the mean change in the CESD score (ß = 0.26, [95%CI, 0.11,0.41] per 5 mmol/L increment). Depressive symptoms burden was associated with serum urea level unlike depression events. Further studies are needed to draw firm conclusions and better understand the mechanisms of depression in CKD.

BACKGROUND: Influenza vaccines are effective in decreasing hospitalizations and mortality related to influenza and its complications. However, the Vaccine Coverage Rate of influenza remains low and multifaceted efforts are required to improve it. The aim of this study was to assess the impact on influenza vaccine perception using a digital tool among outpatients and health care workers (HCWs). METHODS: A study was performed among outpatients and the HCWs of 23 hospital departments from 4 hospitals affiliated to Lyon university Hospitals (France), between October 2022 and February 2023. By scanning QR (Quick Response) codes, displayed on posters for patients, their companions, as well as in the letters sent to HCWs, users accessed anonymously to a web-application (ELEFIGHT®), which provided information on influenza and invited them to initiate a discussion on influenza prevention with their physicians during the consultation. Patients were also invited to complete a questionnaire regarding their perception of influenza vaccination before and after reading the information on ELEFIGHT®. The retention rate (RR = proportion of people who remain on the page for >2 s), the conversion rate (CR = proportion of people who click on the "Call-To-Action" button) and the absolute variation (difference in the perception before/after) and relative variation (absolute change as a percentage of the initial perception) in perception regarding influenza vaccination before and after consulting the application were calculated. RESULTS: 3791 scans were performed by 3298 patients and/or their companions with a RR of 52% and a CR of 55.1% and 253 scans by 221 HCWs with a RR of 71.2% and a CR of 115.3%. Participants spent an average of 47 s on the application. The questionnaire on influenza vaccination perception was completed by 1533 participants (46.5%); 1390 (90.7%) maintained the same position (neutral, favorable or unfavorable) on this vaccination before and after consulting the application. The relative variations in favor of vaccination were + 7.2% (unfavorable then favorable) and + 19.8% (neutral then favorable). CONCLUSION: This study suggests that a facilitated direct access to medical information through QR codes disseminated in health settings can help nudge people to foster their awareness of influenza and its prevention. Future deployments in a similar context or to other populations could be envisaged. Other vaccine-preventable and/or chronic diseases could also be the target of similar projects as part of public health programs.
RESUMEN
Introduction: Adjusting drug dose levels based on equations that standardize the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) to a body surface area (BSA) of 1.73 m2 can pose challenges, especially for patients with extremely high or low body mass index (BMI). The objective of the present study of patients with CKD and diabetes was to assess the impact of deindexing creatinine-based equations on estimates of kidney function and on the frequency of inappropriate prescriptions of oral antidiabetic drugs (OADs). Methods: The prospective CKD-REIN cohort is comprised of patients with eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m2. The inclusion criteria for this study were the use of OADs and the availability of data on weight, height and serum creatinine. We compared data for three BMI subgroups (group 1 <30 kg/m2; group 2 30-34.9 kg/m2; group 3 ≥35 kg/m2). Inappropriate prescriptions (contraindicated or over-dosed drugs) were assessed with regard to the summary of product characteristics and the patient's kidney function estimated with the 2009 Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation, the 2021 CKD-EPI equation, the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) equation, the European Kidney Function Consortium (EKFC) equation, their deindexed estimates, and the Cockcroft-Gault (CG) formula. The impact of deindexing the equations was evaluated by assessing 1) the difference between the indexed and deindexed eGFRs, and 2) the difference in the proportion of patients with at least one inappropriate OAD prescription between the indexed and deindexed estimates. Results: At baseline, 694 patients were receiving OADs. The median BMI was 30.7 kg/m2, the mean BSA was 1.98 m2, and 90% of patients had a BSA >1.73 m2. Deindexing the kidney function estimates led to higher eGFRs, especially in BMI group 3. The proportion of patients with at least one inappropriate prescription differed greatly when comparing indexed and deindexed estimates. The magnitude of the difference increased with the BMI: when comparing BMI group 1 with BMI group 3, the difference was respectively -4% and -10% between deindexed 2021 CKD-EPI and indexed CKD-EPI. Metformin and sitagliptin were the most frequent inappropriately prescribed OADs. Conclusion: We highlight significant differences between the BSA-indexed and deindexed versions of equations used to estimate kidney function, emphasizing the importance of using deindexed estimates to adjust drug dose levels - especially in patients with an extreme BMI.
RESUMEN
Diabetic nephropathy, also known as diabetic kidney disease (DKD), remains a challenge in clinical practice as this is the major cause of kidney failure worldwide. Clinical trials do not answer all the questions raised in clinical practice and real-world evidence provides complementary insights from randomized controlled trials. Real-life longitudinal data highlight the need for improved screening and management of diabetic nephropathy in primary care. Adherence to the recommended guidelines for comprehensive care appears to be suboptimal in clinical practice in patients with DKD. Barriers to the initiation of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors for patients with DKD persist in clinical practice, in particular for the elderly. Attainment of blood pressure targets often remains an issue. Initiation of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) in routine clinical practice is associated with a reduced risk of albuminuria progression and a possible beneficial effect on kidney function. Real-world evidence confirms a beneficial effect of SGLT2 inhibitors on the decline of glomerular filtration, even in the absence of albuminuria, with a lower risk of acute kidney injury events compared to GLP-1RA use. In addition, SGLT2 inhibitors confer a lower risk of hyperkalaemia after initiation compared with dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors in patients with DKD. Data from a large population indicate that diuretic treatment increases the risk of a significant decline in glomerular filtration rate in the first few weeks of treatment after SGLT2 inhibitor initiation. The perspective for a global approach targeting multifaceted criteria for diabetic individuals with DKD is emerging based on real-world evidence but there is still a long way to go to achieve this goal.
RESUMEN
The enteric nervous system (ENS) regulates numerous functional and immunological attributes of the gastrointestinal tract. Alterations in ENS cell function have been linked to intestinal outcomes in various metabolic, intestinal, and neurological disorders. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with a challenging intestinal environment due to gut dysbiosis, which further affects patient quality of life. Although the gut-related repercussions of CKD have been thoroughly investigated, the involvement of the ENS in this puzzle remains unclear. ENS cell dysfunction, such as glial reactivity and alterations in cholinergic signaling in the small intestine and colon, in CKD are associated with a wide range of intestinal pathways and responses in affected patients. This review discusses how the ENS is affected in CKD and how it is involved in gut-related outcomes, including intestinal permeability, inflammation, oxidative stress, and dysmotility.

RATIONALE & OBJECTIVE: Sex differences in cardiovascular disease (CVD) are well-established, but whether chronic kidney disease (CKD) modifies these risk differences, and whether they differ between atheromatous (ACVD) and non-atheromatous (N-ACVD) CVD is unknown. Assessing this interaction was the principal goal of this study. STUDY DESIGN: Prospective cohort study. SETTING & PARTICIPANTS: Adults enrolled in the CKD-Renal Epidemiology and Information Network (CKD-REIN) cohort from from 2013 to 2020, a nationally representative sample of 40 nephrology clinics in France. EXPOSURE: Sex. OUTCOMES: Fatal and non-fatal composite ACVD events (ischaemic coronary, cerebral, and peripheral artery disease) and composite N-ACVD events (heart failure, haemorrhagic stroke, and arrhythmias). ANALYTICAL APPROACH: Multivariable cause-specific Cox proportional hazards models. RESULTS: 1,044 women and 1,976 men with moderate to severe CKD (median age, 67 vs. 69; mean estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR], 32±12 vs. 33±12 mL/min/1.73m2) were studied. Over a median follow-up of 5.0 (interquartile range, 4.8;5.2) years, the ACVD rate (per 100 patient-years) was significantly lower in women than men: 2.1 (95% confidence interval: 1.6-2.5) vs 3.6 (3.2-4.0) (P<0.01), while the N-ACVD rate was not: 5.7 (5.0-6.5) vs 6.4 (5.8-7.0) (P=0.55). N-ACVD had a steeper relationship with eGFR than did ACVD. There was an interaction (P<0.01) between sex and baseline eGFR and the ACVD hazard: the adjusted hazard ratio for women compared to men was 0.42 (0.25;0.71) at 45 mL/min/1.73m2 and gradually attenuated at lower levels of eGFR, reaching 1.00 (0.62;1.63) at 16 mL/min/1.73m2. In contrast, the N-ACVD hazard did not differ between the sexes across the eGFR range studied. LIMITATIONS: Cardiovascular biomarkers and sex hormones were not assessed. CONCLUSION: This study shows how the lower risk of ACVD among women compared to men attenuates fully with kidney disease progression. The equal risk of N-ACVD between sexes across CKD stages and its steeper association with eGFR suggest an important contribution of CKD to the development of this CVD type.
RESUMEN
AIM: The risk of cardiorenal events remains high among patients with diabetes and chronic kidney disease (CKD), despite the prescription of recommended treatments. We aimed to determine whether the attainment of a combination of nephroprotection targets at baseline (glycated haemoglobin <7.0%, urinary albumin-creatinine ratio <300 mg/g, blood pressure <130/80 mmHg, renin-angiotensin system inhibition) was associated with better cardiorenal outcomes and lower mortality. MATERIALS AND METHODS: From the prospective French CKD-REIN cohort, we studied 1260 patients with diabetes and CKD stages 3-4 (estimated glomerular filtration rate: 15-60 ml/min/1.73 m2); 69% were men, and at inclusion, mean ± SD age: 70 ± 10 years; estimated glomerular filtration rate: 33 ± 11 ml/min/1.73 m2. The median follow-up was 4.9 years. RESULTS: In adjusted Cox regression models, the attainment of two nephroprotection targets was consistently associated with a lower risk of cardiorenal events [hazard ratio 0.70 (95% confidence interval 0.57-0.85)], incident kidney failure with replacement therapy [0.58 (0.43-0.77)], four major adverse cardiovascular events (cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, stroke, hospitalization for heart failure) [0.75 (0.57-0.99)] and all-cause mortality [0.59 (0.42-0.82)] when compared with the attainment of zero or one target. For patients with a urinary albumin-creatinine ratio ≥300 mg/g, those who attained at least two targets had lower hazard ratios for cardiorenal events [0.61 (0.39-0.96)], four major adverse cardiovascular events [0.53 (0.28-0.98)] and all-cause mortality [0.35 (0.17-0.70)] compared with those who failed to attain any targets. CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that the attainment of a combination of nephroprotection targets is associated with better cardiorenal outcomes and a lower mortality rate in people with diabetic kidney disease.

The most common kidney replacement therapy (KRT) worldwide is hemodialysis (HD), and only 5%-10% of patients are prescribed peritoneal dialysis (PD) as KRT. Despite PD being a different method, these patients also present particular complications, such as oxidative stress, gut dysbiosis, premature aging, and mitochondrial dysfunction, leading to an inflammation process and high cardiovascular mortality risk. Although recent studies have reported nutritional strategies in patients undergoing HD with attempts to mitigate these complications, more information must be needed for PD patients. Therefore, this review provides a comprehensive analysis of recent studies of nutritional intervention to mitigate inflammation in PD patients.

Vitamin E is a lipid-soluble nutrient found mainly in vegetable oils and oilseeds. It is divided into eight homologous compounds; however, only α-tocopherol exhibits vitamin activity. Many advantages are related to these compounds, including cellular protection through antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity, and improving lipid metabolism. Physiopathology of many diseases incepts with reduced antioxidant defense, characterized by an increased reactive oxygen species production and activation of transcription factors involved in inflammation, such as nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB), that can be linked to oxidative stress. Moreover, disorders of lipid metabolism can increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases. In addition, intestinal dysbiosis plays a vital role in developing chronic non-communicable diseases. In this regard, vitamin E can be considered to mitigate those disorders, but data still needs to be more conclusive. This narrative review aims to elucidate the mechanisms of action of vitamin E and if supplementation can be beneficial in a disease scenario regarding non-communicable diseases.

Background: Kynurenine is a protein-bound uremic toxin. Its circulating levels are increased in chronic kidney disease (CKD). Experimental studies showed that it exerted deleterious cardiovascular effects. We sought to evaluate an association between serum kynurenine levels and adverse fatal or nonfatal cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality in CKD patients. Methods: The CKD-REIN study is a prospective cohort of people with CKD having an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <60 ml/min/1.73 m². Baseline frozen samples of total and free fractions of kynurenine and tryptophan were measured using a validated liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry technique. Cause-specific Cox models were used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) for each outcome. Results: Of the 2406 included patients (median age: 68 years; median eGFR: 25 ml/min/1.73 m2), 52% had a history of cardiovascular disease. A doubling of serum-free kynurenine levels was associated with an 18% increased hazard of cardiovascular events [466 events, HR (95%CI):1.18(1.02,1.33)], independently of eGFR, serum-free tryptophan level or other uremic toxins, cardioprotective drugs, and traditional cardiovascular risk factors. Serum-free kynurenine was significantly associated with non-atheromatous cardiovascular events [HR(95%CI):1.26(1.03,1.50)], but not with atheromatous cardiovascular events [HR(95%CI):1.15(0.89,1.50)]. The association of serum-free kynurenine with cardiovascular mortality was also independently significant [87 events; adjusted HR(95%CI):1.64(1.10,2.40)]. However, the association of serum-free kynurenine with all-cause mortality was no more significant after adjustment on serum-free tryptophan [311 events, HR(95%CI):1.12(0.90, 1.40)]. Conclusions: Our findings imply that serum-free kynurenine, independently of other cardiovascular risk factors (including eGFR), is associated with fatal or nonfatal cardiovascular outcomes, particularly non-atheromatous cardiovascular events; in patients with CKD. Strategies to reduce serum kynurenine levels should be evaluated in further studies.
RESUMEN
Diet therapy for hyperkalemia in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) has shifted considerably in recent years with the observations that reported potassium intake is weakly, or not at all, associated with plasma potassium levels in this population. One of the lingering debates is whether dietary potassium presents a risk of hyperkalemia in the postprandial state. Although there is general agreement about the need for additional research, the commentary by Varshney et al contends that the available research sufficiently demonstrates that high-potassium plant foods do not pose a risk of postprandial hyperkalemia. Others argue that this remains unsettled science. Although the traditional approach of providing people with CKD lists of high-potassium foods to limit or avoid may be unnecessary, those at high risk of hyperkalemia should be encouraged to consume balanced meals and control portions, at least until some of the key research gaps in this area are resolved. This editorial critiques the analyses offered by Varshney et al and explains the rationale for a more cautious approach to care.

BACKGROUND: The trajectories of haemoglobin in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have been poorly described. In such patients, we aimed to identify typical haemoglobin trajectory profiles and estimate their risks of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). METHODS: We used 5-year longitudinal data from the CKD-REIN cohort patients with moderate to severe CKD enrolled from 40 nationally representative nephrology clinics in France. A joint latent class model was used to estimate, in different classes of haemoglobin trajectory, the competing risks of (i) MACE + defined as the first event among cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, stroke or hospitalization for acute heart failure, (ii) initiation of kidney replacement therapy (KRT) and (iii) non-cardiovascular death. RESULTS: During the follow-up, we gathered 33 874 haemoglobin measurements from 3011 subjects (median, 10 per patient). We identified five distinct haemoglobin trajectory profiles. The predominant profile (n = 1885, 62.6%) showed an overall stable trajectory and low risks of events. The four other profiles had nonlinear declining trajectories: early strong decline (n = 257, 8.5%), late strong decline (n = 75, 2.5%), early moderate decline (n = 356, 11.8%) and late moderate decline (n = 438, 14.6%). The four profiles had different risks of MACE, while the risks of KRT and non-cardiovascular death consistently increased from the haemoglobin decline. CONCLUSION: In this study, we observed that two-thirds of patients had a stable haemoglobin trajectory and low risks of adverse events. The other third had a nonlinear trajectory declining at different rates, with increased risks of events. Better attention should be paid to dynamic changes of haemoglobin in CKD.

BACKGROUND: Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have reduced expression of erythroid nuclear factor-related factor 2 (NRF2) and increased nuclear factor κB (NF-κB). "Food as medicine" has been proposed as an adjuvant therapeutic alternative in modulating these factors. No studies have investigated the effects of sulforaphane (SFN) in cruciferous vegetables on the expression of these genes in patients with CKD. OBJECTIVE: The study aimed to evaluate the effects of SFN on the expression of NRF2 and NF-κB in patients on hemodialysis (HD). DESIGN AND METHODS: A randomized, double-blind, crossover study was performed on 30 patients on regular HD. Fourteen patients were randomly allocated to the intervention group (1 sachet/day of 2.5 g containing 1% SFN extract with 0.5% myrosinase) and 16 patients to the placebo group (1 sachet/day of 2.5 g containing corn starch colored with chlorophyll) for 2 months. After a washout period of 2 months, the groups were switched. NRF2 and NF-κB mRNA expression was evaluated by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction, and tumor necrosis factor alpha and interleukin-6 levels were quantified by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Malondialdehyde was evaluated as a marker of lipid peroxidation. RESULTS: Twenty-five patients (17 women, 55 [interquartile range = 19] years and 55 [interquartile range = 74] months on HD) completed the study. There was no significant difference concerning the expression of mRNA NRF2 (P = .915) and mRNA NF-κB (P = .806) after supplementation with SFN. There was no difference in pro-inflammatory and oxidative stress biomarkers. CONCLUSION: 150 µmol of SFN for 2 months had no antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effect in patients with CKD undergoing HD.

OBJECTIVES: The aim of the present study was to assess the dietary intake and nutritional status of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 4-5 according to the presence of diabetes. METHODS: This observational and cross-sectional study included adult patients with CKD stage 4-5 referred to a nephrology unit, between October 2018 and March 2019. Daily dietary intake was evaluated by 24-hour dietary inquiry and urine excretion. Nutritional status was assessed by measuring body composition using bioimpedance analysis and muscle function using handgrip strength. Undernutrition was considered using the protein energy wasting score. RESULTS: A total of 75 CKD patients were included, 36 (48%) of whom had diabetes; median age (interquartile range) was 71 (60-80) years. The median weight-adjusted dietary energy intake (DEI) was 22.6 (19.1-28.2) kcal/kg/day and the mean weight-adjusted dietary protein intake (DPI) was 0.86 ± 0.19 g/kg/day. There was no significant difference in DEI and DPI between patients with diabetes and those without, except for weight-adjusted DPI which was significantly lower in diabetic patients (P = .022). In univariate analysis, diabetes was associated with weight-adjusted DPI (coefficient [95% confidence interval] -0.237 [-0.446; -0.004] kcal/kg/day; P = .040), but this association did not remain significant in multivariate analysis. Nutritional status did not differ significantly between diabetic and nondiabetic patients except for lean tissue mass, which was lower in diabetic patients (P = .046). The proportion of patients with protein energy wasting was not significantly different between diabetic and nondiabetic patients (13.9% vs. 10.2%, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: In the present cohort, DPI and DEI were not significantly different between diabetic and nondiabetic CKD patients. Diabetes was not found to be associated with dietary intakes in CKD stage 4-5 patients.

BACKGROUND AND HYPOTHESIS: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with an elevated risk of neurocognitive disorders (NCDs). It remains unclear whether CKD-related NCDs have specific cognitive pattern or are earlier-onset phenotypes of the main NCDs (vascular NCDs and Alzheimer's disease). METHODS: We used the Mini Mental State Examination score (MMSE) to assess cognitive pattern in 3003 CKD patients (stage 3 to 4) followed up over 5 years in the Chronic Kidney Disease-Renal Epidemiology and Information Network (CKD-REIN) cohort. After normalizing MMSE scores to a 0-to-100 scale, the associations between the baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR, using the CKD-EPI-creatinine formula) and changes in each MMSE domain score were assessed in linear mixed models. RESULTS: Patients (age: 67±13 years old; males: 65%, mean eGFR: 33±12 ml/min/1.73 m²) had a good baseline cognitive functions: the mean MMSE score was 26.9/30 ±2.9. After adjustment for age, sex, educational level, depression (past or present), cardiovascular risk factors, cerebrovascular disease, a lower baseline eGFR (per 10 ml/min/1.73 m²) was associated with a 0.53-point decrement (p<0.001; 95%CI [-0.98,-0.08]) for orientation, a 1.04-point decrement (p=0.03; 95%CI [-1.96,-0.13]) for attention and calculation, a 0.78-point decrement (p=0.003; 95%CI [-1.30,-0.27]) for language, and a 0.94-point decrement (p=0.02; 95%CI [-1.75,-0.13]) for praxis. Baseline eGFR was not, however, associated with significant changes over time in MMSE domain scores. CONCLUSION: A lower eGFR in CKD patients was associated with early impairments in certain cognitive domains: praxis, language and attention domains before an obvious cognitive decline. Early detection of NCD in CKD patients must be perform before clinically cognitive decline using preferably tests assessing executive, attentional functions and language than memory test. This could lead to a better management of cognitive impairment and their consequences on CKD management.
RESUMEN
RATIONALE & OBJECTIVE: Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are common in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The impact of kidney function decline on serious ADR risk has been poorly investigated. We comprehensively describe ADRs and assess the relationship between estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and serious ADR risk. STUDY DESIGN: Prospective cohort study. SETTING & PARTICIPANTS: 3,033 participants in French Chronic Kidney Disease-Renal Epidemiology and Information Network (CKD-REIN) cohort study, a nationwide sample of nephrology outpatients with moderate to advanced CKD. PREDICTORS: Demographic and biological data (including eGFR), medication prescriptions. OUTCOME: ADRs (preventable or not) were prospectively identified from hospital discharge reports, medical records, and patient interviews. Expert pharmacologists used validated tools to adjudicate ADRs. ANALYTICAL APPROACH: Restricted cubic splines in fully adjusted cause-specific Cox proportional hazard models were used to evaluate the relationship between eGFR and the risk of serious ADRs (overall and by subtype). RESULTS: During a median follow-up period of 4.7 years, 360 patients experienced 488 serious ADRs. Kidney and urinary disorders (n=170) and hemorrhage (n=170) accounted for 70% of serious ADRs. The most common medications classes were antithrombotics and renin-angiotensin system inhibitors. The majority of those serious ADRs were associated with hospitalization (n=467), with 32 directly or indirectly associated with death and 22 associated with a life-threatening event. More than 27% of the 488 serious ADRs were preventable or potentially preventable. The eGFR is a major risk factor for serious ADRs. The risk of acute kidney injury was 2.2% higher and risk of bleeding ADRs was 8% higher for each 1mL/min/1.73m2 lower baseline eGFR. LIMITATIONS: The results cannot be extrapolated to patients who are not being treated by a nephrologist. CONCLUSIONS: ADRs constitute a major cause of hospitalization in CKD patients for whom lower eGFR level is a major risk factor. PLAIN-LANGUAGE SUMMARY: Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have complex clinical presentations, take multiple medications, and often receive inappropriate prescriptions. Using data from a large, prospective CKD cohort, we found a high incidence of serious adverse drug reactions (ADRs). The 2 most common serious ADRs were drug-induced acute kidney injury and bleeding. A large proportion of serious ADRs required hospital admission, and 11% led to death or were life threatening. Lower kidney function was a major risk factor for serious ADRs. Many of these serious ADRs were determined to be partly preventable through greater adherence to prescription guidelines. This report enhances our understanding of the potential toxicity of drugs taken by patients with moderate to advanced CKD. It emphasizes the importance of monitoring kidney function when prescribing drugs, particularly for high-risk medications such as antithrombotic agents.
RESUMEN
Launched in 2013 supported by the Program "Cohorts Investments for the Future", the CKD-REIN (Chronic Kidney Disease Renal Epidemiology and Information Network) study is a prospective cohort that included and followed for 5 years more than 3000 patients with moderate or advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD), from 40 nationally representative nephrology clinics. A large amount of data was collected on CKD and its treatments, patient social characteristics and reported outcomes, and nephrology practices and services. A total of 170,000 blood and urine samples were collected and stored in a central biobank. Coordinated with the CKD outcomes and practice pattern study (CKDopps) and collaborating with the international Network of CKD cohorts (iNETCKD), CKD-REIN contributes to the understanding of CKD and the positioning of France with respect to CKD epidemiology and care in the world. This review highlights major findings from the cohort, and their potential implications for clinical practices and the health system, grouped into the following themes: (1) the complexity of patients with CKD; (2) adherence to clinical guidelines; (3) treatment practices and drug risk; (4) acute on chronic kidney disease; (5) CKD metabolic complications; (6) prediction of kidney failure; (7) sex differences in CKD; (8) patient perspective on CKD; (9) transition to kidney failure and replacement therapy; (10) conservative care.
Lancée en 2013 grâce au Programme « Cohortes Investissements d'Avenir ¼, l'étude CKD-REIN (Chronic Kidney Disease Renal Epidemiology and Information Network) est une cohorte prospective qui a inclus et suivi pendant cinq ans plus de 3 000 patients avec une maladie rénale chronique (MRC) modérée ou avancée, dans 40 consultations de néphrologie, représentatives nationalement. Un grand nombre de données ont été collectées sur la MRC et ses traitements, les caractéristiques sociales et la santé perçue des patients, les pratiques et l'organisation des services de néphrologie. Une biothèque de 170 000 échantillons de sang et d'urine a été constituée et stockée dans une biobanque centrale. Coordonnée avec l'étude Chronic Kidney Disease outcomes and practice pattern study (CKDopps) et collaborant avec l'International Network of CKD cohorts (iNET-CKD), CKD-REIN contribue à l'avancée des connaissances et au positionnement de la France dans le domaine de l'épidémiologie de la MRC et des pratiques dans le monde. Cette revue fait le point des faits marquants de la cohorte, et de leur implication potentielle pour la clinique et le système de santé, regroupés par thème : (1) la complexité des patients avec une MRC ; (2) l'adhésion aux recommandations cliniques ; (3) les pratiques thérapeutiques et le risque médicamenteux ; (4) l'insuffisance rénale aiguë dans la MRC ; (5) l'évolution des complications métaboliques ; (6) la prédiction de la défaillance rénale ; (7) les différences hommes-femmes ; (8) le point de vue des patients sur la MRC ; (9) la transition vers la défaillance rénale et le traitement de suppléance ; (10) le traitement conservateur.
