RESUMEN

Like other secreted peptides, nascent parathyroid hormone (PTH) is synthesized with a pre- and a pro-sequence (25 and 6 amino acids, respectively). These precursor segments are sequentially removed in parathyroid cells before packaging into secretory granules. Three patients from two unrelated families who presented during infancy with symptomatic hypocalcemia were found to have a homozygous serine (S) to proline (P) change affecting the first amino acid of the mature PTH. Unexpectedly, biological activity of synthetic [P1]PTH(1-34) was indistinguishable from that of unmodified [S1]PTH(1-34). However, in contrast to conditioned medium from COS-7 cells expressing prepro[S1]PTH(1-84), medium from cells expressing prepro[P1]PTH(1-84) failed to stimulate cAMP production despite similar PTH levels when measured by an intact assay that detects PTH(1-84) and large amino-terminally truncated fragments thereof. Analysis of the secreted, but inactive PTH variant led to the identification of pro[P1]PTH(-6 to +84). Synthetic pro[P1]PTH(-6 to +34) and pro[S1]PTH(-6 to +34) had much less bioactivity than the corresponding PTH(1-34) analogs. Unlike pro[S1]PTH(-6 to +34), pro[P1]PTH(-6 to +34) was resistant to cleavage by furin suggesting that the amino acid variant impairs preproPTH processing. Consistent with this conclusion, plasma of patients with the homozygous P1 mutation had elevated proPTH levels, as determined with an in-house assay specific for pro[P1]PTH(-6 to +84). In fact, a large fraction of PTH detected by the commercial intact assay represented the secreted pro[P1]PTH. In contrast, two commercial biointact assays that use antibodies directed against the first few amino acid residues of PTH(1-84) for capture or detection failed to detect pro[P1]PTH.

RESUMEN

X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets (XLH) is a genetic cause of renal hypophosphatemia due to inactivation of the PHEX gene, with an inappropriate concentration of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23). Burosumab, an anti-FGF23 monoclonal antibody, is a validated treatment for XLH, but its use in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) has not been validated. A 61-year-old man with XLH developed CKD during follow-up. Conventional treatment (phosphate salts and active vitamin D analogs) was poorly tolerated. Treatment with burosumab was decided at a multi-professional meeting. Before burosumab initiation, his measured glomerular filtration rate was 44 mL/min/1.73 m2 defining CKD stage 3b and intact FGF23 concentration was very high (4496.0 ng/mL, N: 22.7-93.1) due to both XLH and CKD. Severe hypophosphatemia was observed after the two first injections of burosumab at usual doses (1 mg/kg monthly) and concomitant discontinuation of the conventional treatment. After increasing the dose and reducing the interval between doses (1.3 mg/kg every three weeks) from the third injection, serum phosphate concentration normalized and remained around the lower limit of the normal range. A local cutaneous reaction was observed just after the second injection, but did not recur. We report for the first time the efficacy and good short-term tolerance of burosumab in a patient with XLH and CKD, subject to a higher dosage aimed at achieving a phosphatemia at the lower limit of the normal range.

RESUMEN

Vitamin D sufficiency is associated with a reduced risk of fractures, diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular events, and cancers, which are frequent complications after renal transplantation. The VITALE (VITamin D supplementation in renAL transplant recipients) study is a multicenter double-blind randomized trial, including nondiabetic adult renal transplant recipients with serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D (25(OH) vitamin D) levels of <30 ng/mL, which is randomized 12 to 48 months after transplantation to receive high (100 000 IU) or low doses (12 000 IU) of cholecalciferol every 2 weeks for 2 months and then monthly for 22 months. The primary outcome was a composite endpoint, including diabetes mellitus, major cardiovascular events, cancer, and death. Of 536 inclusions (50.8 [13.7] years, 335 men), 269 and 267 inclusions were in the high-dose and low-dose groups, respectively. The serum 25(OH) vitamin D levels increased by 23 versus 6 ng/mL in the high-dose and low-dose groups, respectively (P < .0001). In the intent-to-treat analysis, 15% versus 16% of the patients in the high-dose and low-dose groups, respectively, experienced a first event of the composite endpoint (hazard ratio, 0.94 [0.60-1.48]; P = .78), whereas 1% and 4% of patients in the high-dose and low-dose groups, respectively, experienced an incident symptomatic fracture (odds ratio, 0.24 [0.07-0.86], P = .03). The incidence of adverse events was similar between the groups. After renal transplantation, high doses of cholecalciferol are safe but do not reduce extraskeletal complications (trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov; identifier: NCT01431430).

RESUMEN

Background Estimating glomerular filtration rate (GFR) from serum creatinine can be inaccurate, and current procedures for measuring GFR are time-consuming and cumbersome. Purpose To develop a method for measuring GFR based on iomeprol clearance assessed at CT urography in kidney donor candidates and compare this with iohexol clearance (reference standard for measuring GFR). Materials and Methods This cross-sectional retrospective study included data from kidney donor candidates who underwent both iohexol clearance and CT urography between July 2016 and October 2022. CT-measured GFR was calculated as the iomeprol excretion rate in the urinary system between arterial and excretory phases (Hounsfield units times milliliters per minute) divided by a surrogate for serum iomeprol concentration in the aorta at the midpoint (in Hounsfield units). Performance of CT-measured GFR was assessed with use of mean bias (mean difference between CT-measured GFR and iohexol clearance), precision (the distance between quartile 1 and quartile 3 of the bias [quartile 3 minus quartile 1], with a small value indicating high precision), and accuracy (percentage of CT-measured GFR values falling within 10%, 20%, and 30% of iohexol clearance values). Intraobserver agreement was assessed for 30 randomly selected individuals with the Lin concordance correlation coefficient. Results A total of 75 kidney donor candidates were included (mean age, 51 years ± 13 [SD]; 45 female). The CT-measured GFR was unbiased (1.1 mL/min/1.73 m2 [95% CI: -1.9, 4.1]) and highly precise (16.2 mL/min/1.73 m2 [quartiles 1 to 3, -6.6 to 9.6]). The accuracy of CT-measured GFR within 10%, 20%, and 30% was 61.3% (95% CI: 50.3, 72.4), 88.0% (95% CI: 80.7, 95.4), and 100%, respectively. Concordance between CT-based GFR measurements taken 2 months apart was almost perfect (correlation coefficient, 0.99 [95% CI: 0.98, 0.99]). Conclusion In living kidney donors, GFR measured based on iomeprol clearance assessed at CT urography showed good agreement with GFR measured based on iohexol clearance. © RSNA, 2023 Supplemental material is available for this article.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: A precise assessment of glomerular filtration rate is key to delineate the care of children with a solitary functioning kidney (SFK). Data regarding measured GFR (mGFR) in this population is restricted to a single study of 77 individuals, which suggested that a GFR estimation (eGFR) method based on creatinine and cystatin C (eGFR-CKiD2) performed better than Schwartz's equation (eGFR-Schwartz). METHODS: We measured GFR in 210 consecutive adolescents (7 to 22 years old) with an SFK referred to our institution between 2014 and 2019 and in 43 young candidates for kidney donation (18 to 25 years old). We compared the distribution of mGFR in both groups and determined the factors associated with reduced mGFR in adolescents with an SFK. We further compared different eGFR formulas with mGFR and assessed the association of mGFR and eGFRs with PTH and FGF23, two early indicators of GFR reduction. RESULTS: While adolescents with an SFK had a similar median mGFR to healthy controls (103 ± 24ml/min/1.73m2 vs. 107 ± 12 ml/min/1.73m2), the fraction of individuals with an mGFR below 90 ml/min/1.73m2 was higher in patients with SFK (23% vs. 5% in controls; P = 0.005). Multiple linear regression identified older age, ipsilateral abnormalities of the urinary tract, lack of compensatory hypertrophy, and treated hypertension as independent factors associated with reduced mGFR. A smaller bias using eGFR-Schwartz (95% confidence interval (95%CI): 3 to 7) was revealed when compared to other eGFR. Compared to eGFR-Schwartz, mGFR showed a stronger correlation with PTH (r = 0.04 vs. r = 0.1) and FGF23 (r = 0.03 vs. r = 0.05). CONCLUSION: SFK is not a benign condition, since 20% of the patients display altered kidney function. Our results raise caution regarding the use of the cystatin-based equation. mGFR shows a better ability than eGFR-Schwartz to differentiate patients showing early homeostatic adaptation to GFR reduction.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Augmented renal creatinine clearance (ARC) (≥130 ml min-1 1.73 m-2) is frequent in intensive care unit (ICU) patients and may impact patient outcome. OBJECTIVES: To compare glomerular filtration rate (GFR) measured with iohexol plasma clearance and creatinine clearance in critically ill patients with augmented renal clearance. DESIGN: Single-centre, retrospective study. SETTING: French University Hospital ICU from November 2016 to May 2019. PATIENTS: Adult patients with augmented renal clearance who had a measurement of iohexol plasma clearance. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: Agreement between 6 h creatinine clearance (6 h CrCl) and iohexol plasma clearance (GFRio). RESULTS: Twenty-nine patients were included. The median 6 h creatinine clearance was 195 [interquartile range (IQR) 162 to 251] ml min-1 1.73 m-2 and iohexol clearance was 133 [117 to 153] ml min-1 1.73 m-2. Sixteen patients (55%) had hyperfiltration (clearance >130 ml min-1 1.73 m-2) measured with iohexol clearance. Mean bias between iohexol and creatinine clearance was -80 [limits of agreement (LoA) -216 to 56 ml min-1 1.73 m-2]. For Cockcroft and Gault Modification of Diet in Renal Disease equation (MDRD), Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration equation (CKD-EPI) formulae, mean biases were, respectively -27 (LoA -99 to 45), -14 (LoA -86 to 59) and 15 (LoA -33 to 64) ml min-1 1.73 m-2. CONCLUSION: In the present study, we found that in patients with augmented renal creatinine clearance, half of the patients do not have hyperfiltration using iohexol clearance measurements. We observed an important bias between 6 h CrCl and GFRio with large LoA. In critically patients with ARC, 6 h CrCl does not reliably estimate GFR and 6 h CrCl nearly systematically overestimates renal function. Comparison of creatinine-based GFR estimations and GFRio show acceptable bias but wide LoA.

RESUMEN

In kidney transplant recipients (KTRs), scarce evidence has associated low blood bicarbonate levels with mineral metabolic disturbance and reduced allograft survival. However, the contribution of the blood pH to these observations remains unassessed. Equally, little is known about the influence of the blood provenance (arteriovenous fistula vs peripheral vein) on bicarbonate values. We analyzed blood gas parameters in a single-center cohort of 1260 stable KTRs, 3 months after transplantation. Inspection of pO2 distribution allowed the unambiguous identification of the arterial (N = 914) or venous (N = 346) origin of the samples. In patients with arterial blood samples, 435 (46%) had bicarbonate levels below 22 mmol/L. Among them, 196 (40%) were acidemic (blood pH <7.38). In multivariate analysis, low arterial blood pH was associated with increased blood ionized calcium and phosphate and reduced fibroblast growth factor 23 and calcitriol, but not with outcome. In contrast, low bicarbonate concentration predicted allograft loss independently of measured glomerular filtration rate and other potential confounders (hazard ratio [HR] 1.70; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.04-2.80). In KTRs, reduced arterial blood bicarbonate levels predict outcome while acidemia is associated with altered mineral metabolism.

RESUMEN

The concentration of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) rises progressively in renal failure (RF). High FGF23 concentrations have been consistently associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes or death, in chronic kidney disease (CKD), heart failure or liver cirrhosis. We identified the mechanisms whereby high concentrations of FGF23 can increase the risk of death of cardiovascular origin. We studied the effects of FGF23 and Klotho in adult rat ventricular cardiomyocytes (ARVMs) and on the heart of mice with CKD. We show that FGF23 increases the frequency of spontaneous calcium waves (SCWs), a marker of cardiomyocyte arrhythmogenicity, in ARVMs. FGF23 increased sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ leakage, basal phosphorylation of Ca2+-cycling proteins including phospholamban and ryanodine receptor type 2. These effects are secondary to a decrease in phosphodiesterase 4B (PDE4B) in ARVMs and in heart of mice with RF. Soluble Klotho, a circulating form of the FGF23 receptor, prevents FGF23 effects on ARVMs by increasing PDE3A and PDE3B expression. Our results suggest that the combination of high FGF23 and low sKlotho concentrations decreases PDE activity in ARVMs, which favors the occurrence of ventricular arrhythmias and may participate in the high death rate observed in patients with CKD.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Kidney transplant recipients have an impaired ability to dilute urine but seldom develop baseline hyponatremia before ESRD. Although hyponatremia is a risk factor for adverse events in CKD and in kidney transplant recipients, it remains unclear whether subtler alterations in osmoregulation performance are associated with outcome. METHODS: We studied a single-center prospective cohort of 1258 kidney transplant recipients who underwent a water-loading test 3 months after transplant to determine osmoregulation performance. Measured GFR (mGFR) was performed at the same visit. A group of 164 healthy candidates for kidney donation served as controls. We further evaluated the association of osmoregulation performance with transplantation outcomes and subsequent kidney function. RESULTS: Unlike controls, most kidney transplant recipients failed to maintain plasma sodium during water loading (plasma sodium slope of -0.6±0.4 mmol/L per hour in transplant recipients versus -0.12±0.3 mmol/L per hour in controls; P<0.001). Steeper plasma sodium reduction during the test independently associated with the composite outcome of all-cause mortality and allograft loss (hazard ratio [HR], 1.73 per 1 mmol/L per hour decrease in plasma sodium; 95% confidence interval [95% CI], 1.23 to 2.45; P=0.002) and allograft loss alone (HR, 2.04 per 1 mmol/L per hour decrease in plasma sodium; 95% CI, 1.19 to 3.51; P=0.01). The association remained significant in a prespecified sensitivity analysis excluding patients with hyperglycemia. In addition, a steeper plasma sodium slope 3 months after transplantation independently correlated with lower mGFR at 12 months (ß=1.93; 95% CI, 0.46 to 3.41; P=0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Reduced osmoregulation performance occurs frequently in kidney transplant recipients and is an independent predictor of renal outcome.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: The use of L-carnitine has been proposed in haemodialysis (HD) when deficiency is present to improve anaemia resistant to erythropoietin stimulating agent, intradialytic hypotension or cardiac failure. We tested the effects of L-carnitine supplementation on parameters of chronic kidney disease-mineral bone disorder. METHODS: CARNIDIAL was a randomized, double-blinded trial having included 92 incident HD subjects for a 1-year period to receive L-carnitine versus placebo. Determinant factors of C-terminal fibroblast growth factor 23 (cFGF23) and intact FGF23 were studied including Klotho level. The L-carnitine effect on mineral metabolism was analyzed between groups by mixed linear models for repeated measurements. RESULTS: Klotho was below the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) in 55% of the 163 samples. In multivariate analysis, cFGF23 was positively correlated with calcium and phosphate and was higher in subjects having Klotho > LLOQ. No correlation existed between Klotho and phosphate and phosphate was even higher in subjects having Klotho > LLOQ (p < 0.001). Both forms of FGF23 were not related to iron markers nor to IV iron dose. No L-carnitine effect was detected on parathyroid hormone (PTH) or FGF23 during the study period where PTH slightly decreased over time, whereas FGF23 increased. But calcium and phosphate increased more in the L-carnitine group. CONCLUSION: L-carnitine supplementation increased calcium and phosphate plasma concentrations with no detected downregulation effect on PTH and FGF23. (Clinical Trial 00322322, May 5, 2006).

RESUMEN

In African-American patients with sickle cell disease (SCD), APOL1 G1 and G2 variants are associated with increased risk of sickle cell nephropathy (SCN). To determine the role of APOL1 variants in SCD patients living in Europe, we genotyped 152 SCD patients [aged 30·4 (24·3-36·4) years], mainly of Sub-Saharan African ancestry, for APOL1 G1 and G2 and for variants of four genes with kidney tropism (GSTM1, GSTT1, GSTP1, and HMOX1). Homozygous or double-heterozygous APOL G1 and G2 genotypes were strongly associated with end stage renal disease (P = 0·003) and worse Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes stages (P = 0·001). Further, these genotypes were associated in an age-dependent manner with lower estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR, P = 0·008), proteinuria (P = 0·009) and albuminuria (P < 0·001) but not with other SCD complications. Compared to APOL1 G1/wild type (WT), the APOL1 G2/WT genotype was associated with a lower eGFR (P = 0·04) in an age-dependent manner, suggesting that the G2/WT patients are likely to have worse kidney prognosis. Other genes variants analysed were not associated with SCN or other SCD complications. Our data indicate that APOL1 screening should be considered for the management of SCD patients, including those of non-African-American origin, as those with homozygous or double heterozygous variants are clearly at higher risk of SCN.

RESUMEN

Several FGF23 immunoassays are available. However, they are reserved for research purposes as none have been approved for clinical use. We evaluated the performances of a new automated assay for intact FGF23 on the DiaSorin Liaison platform which is approved for clinical use. We established reference values in 908 healthy French subjects aged 18-89 years, and measured iFGF23 in patients with disorders of phosphate metabolism and in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Intra-assay CV was 1.04-2.86% and inter-assay CV was 4.01-6.3%. The limit of quantification was <10 ng/L. Serum iFGF23 concentrations were considerably lower than EDTA values highlighting the importance of using exclusively EDTA plasma. Liaison iFGF23 values were approximately 25% higher than Immutopics values. In the 908 healthy subjects, distribution of the Liaison iFGF23 values was Gaussian with a mean ± 2SD interval of 22.7-93.1 ng/L. Men had a slightly higher level than women (60.3 ± 17.6 and 55.2 ± 17.2 ng/L, respectively). Plasma iFGF23 concentration in 11 patients with tumour-induced osteomalacia, 8 patients with X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets, 43 stage 3a, 43 stage 3b, 43 stage 4, 44 stage 5 CKD patients, and 44 dialysis patients were 217.2 ± 144.0, 150.9 ± 28.6, 98.5 ± 42.0, 130.8 ± 88.6, 130.8 ± 88.6, 331.7 ± 468.2, 788.8 ± 1306.6 and 6103.9 ± 11,178.8 ng/L, respectively. This new iFGF23 assay available on a platform that already allows the measurement of other important parameters of the mineral metabolism is a real improvement for the laboratories and clinicians/researchers involved in this field.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: High-dose biotin therapy is beneficial in progressive multiple sclerosis (MS) and is expected to be adopted by a large number of patients. Biotin therapy leads to analytical interference in many immunoassays that utilize streptavidin-biotin capture techniques, yielding skewed results that can mimic various endocrine disorders. We aimed at exploring this interference, to be able to remove biotin and avoid misleading results. METHODS: We measured free triiodothyronine (fT3), free thyroxine (fT4), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), parathyroid homrone (PTH), 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), prolactin, C-peptide, cortisol (Roche Diagnostics assays), biotin and its main metabolites (liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry) in 23 plasmas from MS patients and healthy volunteers receiving high-dose biotin, and in 39 biotin-unsupplemented patients, before and after a simple procedure (designated N5) designed to remove biotin by means of streptavidin-coated microparticles. We also assayed fT4, TSH and PTH in the 23 high-biotin plasmas using assays not employing streptavidin-biotin binding. RESULTS: The biotin concentration ranged from 31.7 to 1160 µg/L in the 23 high-biotin plasmas samples. After the N5 protocol, the biotin concentration was below the detection limit in all but two samples (8.3 and 27.6 µg/L). Most hormones results were abnormal, but normalized after N5. All results with the alternative methods were normal except two slight PTH elevations. In the 39 biotin-unsupplemented patients, the N5 protocol did not affect the results for any of the hormones, apart from an 8.4% decrease in PTH. CONCLUSIONS: We confirm that most streptavidin-biotin hormone immunoassays are affected by high biotin concentrations, leading to a risk of misdiagnosis. Our simple neutralization method efficiently suppresses biotin interference.

RESUMEN

Proteinuria and hyperphosphatemia are cardiovascular risk factors independent of GFR. We hypothesized that proteinuria induces relative phosphate retention via increased proximal tubule phosphate reabsorption. To test the clinical relevance of this hypothesis, we studied phosphate handling in nephrotic children and patients with CKD. Plasma fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF-23) concentration, plasma phosphate concentration, and tubular reabsorption of phosphate increased during the proteinuric phase compared with the remission phase in nephrotic children. Cross-sectional analysis of a cohort of 1738 patients with CKD showed that albuminuria≥300 mg/24 hours is predictive of higher phosphate levels, independent of GFR and other confounding factors. Albuminuric patients also displayed higher plasma FGF-23 and parathyroid hormone levels. To understand the molecular mechanisms underlying these observations, we induced glomerular proteinuria in two animal models. Rats with puromycin-aminonucleoside-induced nephrotic proteinuria displayed higher renal protein expression of the sodium-phosphate co-transporter NaPi-IIa, lower renal Klotho protein expression, and decreased phosphorylation of FGF receptor substrate 2α, a major FGF-23 receptor substrate. These findings were confirmed in transgenic mice that develop nephrotic-range proteinuria resulting from podocyte depletion. In vitro, albumin did not directly alter phosphate uptake in cultured proximal tubule OK cells. In conclusion, we show that proteinuria increases plasma phosphate concentration independent of GFR. This effect relies on increased proximal tubule NaPi-IIa expression secondary to decreased FGF-23 biologic activity. Proteinuria induces elevation of both plasma phosphate and FGF-23 concentrations, potentially contributing to cardiovascular disease.

RESUMEN

UNLABELLED: Simultaneous liver and kidney transplantation (SLKT) remains the procedure of choice for patients with both endstage liver disease and kidney failure. Stringent guidelines are needed to avoid unnecessary kidney transplantation. A recent consensus meeting proposed criteria based on the Modified Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD)-6 equation to estimate glomerular filtration rate (GFR). The aims of this study were to compare GFR equations to true GFR in candidates for liver transplantation (LT) and to determine the impact of inaccuracies on the current guidelines for SLKT. Three hundred stable cirrhosis patients evaluated for LT were studied. All patients had iohexol clearance to measure GFR at evaluation under stable conditions. Measured GFR (mGFR) was compared to MDRD-4, MDRD-6, and Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equations. MDRD-6 was the most accurate equation to predict GFR. In the 290 patients with mGFR >30 mL/min/1.73 m(2), 15 patients (7%) had estimated GFR (eGFR) ≤40 mL/min/1.73 m(2) based on the MDRD-6 equation, defining "discordant" patients. Among them, two underwent SLKT and 13 underwent LT alone. None of those who survived more than 1 year after LT alone (n = 8) developed renal dysfunction thereafter. In multivariate analysis, discordant patients were older (P = 0.03) and had lower sodium level (P = 0.02). CONCLUSION: The MDRD-6 equation was superior to other equations at identifying cirrhosis patients with true GFR <30 mL/min/1.73 m(2). However, the MDRD-6 equation also tended to underestimate renal function in a subgroup of patients with true GFR >30 mL/min/1.73 m(2), with a potential risk of unnecessary kidney transplantation if applying current U.S. recommendations for SLKT.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: High levels of circulating fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) are associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression and high mortality. In the Phosphate Reduction Evaluation of FGF23 in Early CKD Treatment (PREFECT) study, we assessed the effect of reducing intestinal phosphate absorption using lanthanum carbonate on FGF23 levels in normophosphatemic patients with CKD stage 3. METHODS: Thirty-five individuals were randomized to lanthanum carbonate 3000 mg/day (n=23) or placebo (n=12) for 12 weeks. Levels of intact FGF23 (iFGF23), C-terminal FGF23, serum and urinary phosphate and calcium, intact parathyroid hormone and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D were assessed. RESULTS: The median age was 65 years in the lanthanum group and 73 years in the placebo group; 58.8% and 41.7% were men, respectively. No significant difference was seen in mean iFGF23 between groups at week 12. There was, however, a transient reduction from baseline in iFGF23 in the lanthanum group at week 1, from 70.5 pg/ml to 51.9 pg/ml, which was not seen in the placebo group; this between-group difference in percentage change from baseline was significant in post hoc analyses (p=0.0102). Urinary phosphate decreased after 1 week of lanthanum treatment and remained low at week 12. CONCLUSIONS: Reducing intestinal phosphate absorption with lanthanum carbonate did not lead to sustained reductions in iFGF23 in patients with CKD stage 3, although phosphaturia decreased. This suggests that factors other than phosphate burden may be responsible for driving increases in circulating FGF23 in patients with CKD.

RESUMEN

Kidney transplant recipients usually have low vitamin D levels, especially in the early posttransplantation period, but the association between vitamin D status with renal outcomes is not well described in this population. Here, we studied a prospective cohort of 634 kidney recipients who underwent transplantation at a single institution between January 2005 and June 2010. In this cohort, low 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations 3 months after transplantation did not predict early death or graft loss but were independently associated with lower measured GFR at 12 months (P=0.001) and higher risk for interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy (P=0.01). In contrast, levels of calcium, phosphorus, calcitriol, parathyroid hormone, or fibroblast growth factor-23 were not consistently associated with any of the studied outcomes. In conclusion, low 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentration measured 3 months after transplantation is an independent risk factor for interstitial fibrosis progression and is associated with a lower GFR 1 year after transplantation.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: High extracellular fluid volume (ECV) is associated with an increased risk of death in non-transplanted patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). By contrast, both the determinants and the prognosis value of ECV in kidney transplant recipients (KTR) remain unclear. METHODS: We studied a bicentric prospective cohort of 2057 KTR, who underwent glomerular filtration rate measurement (mGFR) three months after transplantation. We calculated ECV from iohexol plasma disappearance curve and analyzed its association with patient's characteristics and outcomes. RESULTS: Mean ECV and mGFR were 14.6±2.6L/1.73m2 and 52±16mL/min/1.73m2, respectively. Multiple linear regression identified male gender, older donor and recipient ages, deceased donor, non-preemptive transplantation, diabetes, cardiac arrhythmia, heart failure, proteinuria and higher mGFR as independent factors associated with increased ECV. In multivariable cause specific cox analyzes, higher tertiles of ECV were associated with increased mortality [tertile 1 as reference; hazard ratio (95% confidence interval) for tertile 2: 1.65 (1.11-2.47); tertile 3: 1.80 (1.18-2.74)] but not graft loss. Increased ECV, 3 months after transplantation, was a predictor of reduced mGFR at 12 months after adjusting for three months mGFR and other confounding factors (ß coefficient: -0.06; 95%CI [-0.09 to -0.02]). CONCLUSION: an elevated ECV 3 months after KT is independently associated with increased mortality and decreased mGFR at 12 months, but not with graft loss.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: No information on optimal cholecalciferol dosing in kidney transplant patients is currently available because the time-course of serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D [25(OH)D] concentration has never been investigated. The aim of this study was to investigate 25(OH)D pharmacokinetics in renal transplant recipients and to determine the optimal dosage scheme allowing 25(OH)D concentrations to be maintained between 30-80 ng/mL during the first year post-transplantation. METHODS: Four months after renal transplantation, 49 patients received four oral doses of 100,000 IU cholecalciferol every 2 weeks (intensive phase), then every 2 months until 1 year after transplantation (maintenance phase). A control group of 47 transplanted patients was not supplemented but underwent blood sampling. In the treated group, 74 samples were collected before the first cholecalciferol administration and 119 thereafter. Two blood samples per patient were collected in the control group. Serum 25(OH)D concentrations were analyzed using a population approach. The turnover of 25(OH)D was modeled using a one-compartment-model with first-order formation and elimination and basal concentration. RESULTS: The mean population parameter estimates and the associated between-subject variability were: formation rate constant (k(f)), 0.11 day(-1); clearance (CL/F), 2.5 L/day (0.42); central volume of distribution (V(C)/F), 237 L; basal concentration (C(0)),12.82 ng/mL (0.41). Based on these values, in order to maintain 25(OH)D concentrations between 30 and 80 ng/mL, cholecalciferol dosing should be six successive administrations of 100,000 IU at 2-week intervals, followed by 100,000 IU once a month until the end of the first year. CONCLUSIONS: We present here the first pharmacokinetic model describing the time-course of 25(OH)D. We propose an optimal and practical scheme for the treatment of vitamin D insufficiency after renal transplantation. Taking into account the numerous effects of vitamin D on health, this scheme could help clinicians improve the care of kidney recipients.
