RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Current equations for estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) that use serum creatinine or cystatin C incorporate age, sex, and race to estimate measured GFR. However, race in eGFR equations is a social and not a biologic construct. METHODS: We developed new eGFR equations without race using data from two development data sets: 10 studies (8254 participants, 31.5% Black) for serum creatinine and 13 studies (5352 participants, 39.7% Black) for both serum creatinine and cystatin C. In a validation data set of 12 studies (4050 participants, 14.3% Black), we compared the accuracy of new eGFR equations to measured GFR. We projected the prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and GFR stages in a sample of U.S. adults, using current and new equations. RESULTS: In the validation data set, the current creatinine equation that uses age, sex, and race overestimated measured GFR in Blacks (median, 3.7 ml per minute per 1.73 m2 of body-surface area; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.8 to 5.4) and to a lesser degree in non-Blacks (median, 0.5 ml per minute per 1.73 m2; 95% CI, 0.0 to 0.9). When the adjustment for Black race was omitted from the current eGFR equation, measured GFR in Blacks was underestimated (median, 7.1 ml per minute per 1.73 m2; 95% CI, 5.9 to 8.8). A new equation using age and sex and omitting race underestimated measured GFR in Blacks (median, 3.6 ml per minute per 1.73 m2; 95% CI, 1.8 to 5.5) and overestimated measured GFR in non-Blacks (median, 3.9 ml per minute per 1.73 m2; 95% CI, 3.4 to 4.4). For all equations, 85% or more of the eGFRs for Blacks and non-Blacks were within 30% of measured GFR. New creatinine-cystatin C equations without race were more accurate than new creatinine equations, with smaller differences between race groups. As compared with the current creatinine equation, the new creatinine equations, but not the new creatinine-cystatin C equations, increased population estimates of CKD prevalence among Blacks and yielded similar or lower prevalence among non-Blacks. CONCLUSIONS: New eGFR equations that incorporate creatinine and cystatin C but omit race are more accurate and led to smaller differences between Black participants and non-Black participants than new equations without race with either creatinine or cystatin C alone.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: We investigated the associations of socioeconomic position (SEP) with total and type of fish intake in a large general population and validated whether types of fish intake were differently associated with plasma EPA and DHA in a subset of the population. METHODS: From the Lifelines Cohort Study, 94,246 participants aged 44 ± 13 years old were included to test the association of two SEP indicators, i.e., education level and household income level, with dietary intakes of total, oily, lean, fried, and other types of fish. In a subset of 575 participants (mean age: 50 ± 13 years), EPA and DHA levels were measured in plasma phospholipids and triglycerides. Dietary fish intake was assessed using Food Frequency Questionnaire. Linear regressions were applied and adjusted for relevant covariates. RESULTS: Compared to the high education level, lower education levels were negatively associated with total, oily, lean, and other fish intake (p < 0.001 for all), and positively associated with fried fish intake (ß (SE): 0.04 (0.04), p < 0.001 for middle education; 0.07 (0.04), p < 0.001 for low education), independently of relevant covariates. Similar results were observed for income levels. In the subset population, total and oily fish intakes were positively associated with plasma EPA and DHA (p < 0.02 for all). Lean and other fish intakes were positively associated with only DHA (p < 0.008 for all), but not EPA, while fried fish was not associated with either EPA or DHA in plasma (p > 0.1 for all). CONCLUSION: Lower SEP was associated with a lower total intake of fish, and of oily and lean fish, but with higher intake of fried fish. Fried fish was not associated with the fish-based EPA and DHA in plasma. Hence, SEP-related differences in fish consumption are both quantitative and qualitative.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Whether coffee consumption is associated with changes in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is unknown. We investigated the relationship between coffee consumption and annual eGFR change in a large Dutch population-based study. METHODS AND RESULTS: This study was performed in 78,346 participants without chronic kidney disease (CKD) in the population-based Lifelines Cohort Study. Coffee consumption was assessed at baseline using food frequency questionnaires. Outcomes were annual eGFR change and a composite kidney outcome (defined as eGFR <60 mL/min per 1.73 m2 or >20 % eGFR decline). Multivariable linear and logistic regression analyses were used to evaluate the associations of coffee consumption (categories and cups/day) with kidney outcomes. Overall, 90 % of the participants drank coffee daily and 36 % drank >2-4 cups/day. Unadjusted mean ± SD annual eGFR change ranged from -2.86 ± 2.96 (for non-coffee drinkers) to -2.35 ± 2.62 (for participants consuming >6 cups/day) mL/min per 1.73 m2. During 3.6 ± 0.9 years follow-up, 11.1 % of participants reached the composite kidney outcome. As compared to non-coffee drinkers, higher coffee consumption was associated with less annual eGFR decline in multivariable models (ß [95 % CIs] ranged from 0.15 [0.07, 0.22] for >0-2 cups/day to 0.29 [0.20, 0.38] for >6 cups/day, P-trend <0.001). Consumption of one more cup of coffee per day was associated with a 3 % lower risk of the composite kidney outcome (OR [95%CI], 0.97 [0.96, 0.99]). The inverse association was more pronounced in a subgroup of individuals with diabetes. CONCLUSION: Coffee consumption was inversely associated with annual eGFR change and CKD risk in a large Dutch population-based cohort.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Coronary artery calcification (CAC) partially explains the excess cardiovascular morbidity and mortality after kidney transplantation. This study aimed to investigate determinants of CAC in stable kidney transplant recipients at 12 months post-transplantation. METHODS AND RESULTS: CAC-score was quantified by the Agatston method using non-contrast enhanced computed tomography, and age- and sex-standardized CAC-percentiles were calculated. Univariable and multivariable multinomial logistic regression was performed to study potential determinants of CAC. The independent determinants were included in multivariable multinomial logistic regression adjusting for potential confounders. 203 KTRs (age 54.0 ± 14.7 years, 61.1% male) were included. Participants were categorized into four groups according to CAC percentiles (p = 0 [CAC-score = 0], n = 68; p ≥ 1%-p ≤ 50% [CAC score = 29.0 (4.0-166.0)], n = 31; p > 50 ≤ 75% [CAC score = 101.0 (23.8-348.3)], n = 26; and p>75% [CAC score = 581.0 (148.0-1652)], n = 83). Upon multivariable multinomial logistic regression, patients with a narrower phase angle and patients who had received a graft from a deceased donor had a higher risk of being in the >75th CAC-percentile. CONCLUSIONS: This study identifies not only metabolic and transplant-related factors, but also phase angle, a composite marker of cell integrity, as an independent determinant of CAC at 12 months after kidney transplantation. This study offers new perspectives for future research into the value of bioelectrical impedance analysis in relation to vascular calcification in kidney transplant recipients.

RESUMO

Vitamin K deficiency is common among kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) and likely contributes to progressive vascular calcification and stiffness. In this single-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, we aimed to investigate the effects of vitamin K supplementation on the primary end point, serum calcification propensity (calciprotein particle maturation time, T50), and secondary end points arterial stiffness (pulse wave velocity [PWV]) and vitamin K status in 40 vitamin K-deficient KTRs (plasma dephosphorylated uncarboxylated matrix Gla protein [dp-ucMGP] ≥500 pmol/L). Participants (35% female; age, 57 ± 13 years) were randomized 1:1 to vitamin K2 (menaquinone-7, 360 µg/day) or placebo for 12 weeks. Vitamin K supplementation had no effect on calcification propensity (change in T50 vs baseline +2.3 ± 27.4 minutes) compared with placebo (+0.8 ± 34.4 minutes; Pbetween group = .88) but prevented progression of PWV (change vs baseline -0.06 ± 0.26 m/s) compared with placebo (+0.27 ± 0.43 m/s; Pbetween group = .010). Vitamin K supplementation strongly improved vitamin K status (change in dp-ucMGP vs baseline -385 [-631 to -269] pmol/L) compared with placebo (+39 [-188 to +183] pmol/L; Pbetween group < .001), although most patients remained vitamin K-deficient. In conclusion, vitamin K supplementation did not alter serum calcification propensity but prevented progression of arterial stiffness, suggesting that vitamin K has vascular effects independent of calciprotein particles. These results set the stage for longer-term intervention studies with vitamin K supplementation in KTRs.

RESUMO

RATIONALE & OBJECTIVE: Prior studies report that the use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) can adversely affect gut microbiota and gastrointestinal uptake of micronutrients, in particular iron and magnesium, and are used frequently by kidney transplant recipients. Altered gut microbiota, iron deficiency, and magnesium deficiency have been implicated in the pathogenesis of chronic fatigue. Therefore, we hypothesized that PPI use may be an important and underappreciated cause of fatigue and reduced health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in this population. STUDY DESIGN: Cross-sectional study. SETTING & PARTICIPANTS: Kidney transplant recipients (≥1 year after transplantation) enrolled in the TransplantLines Biobank and Cohort Study. EXPOSURE: PPI use, PPI type, PPI dosage, and duration of PPI use. OUTCOME: Fatigue and HRQoL, assessed using the validated Checklist Individual Strength 20 Revised questionnaire and Short Form-36 questionnaire. ANALYTICAL APPROACH: Logistic and linear regression. RESULTS: We included 937 kidney transplant recipients (mean age 56±13 years, 39% female) at a median of 3 (1-10) years after transplantation. PPI use was associated with fatigue severity (regression coefficient 4.02, 95% CI, 2.18 to 5.85, P<0.001), a higher risk of severe fatigue (OR 2.05, 95% CI, 1.48 to 2.84, P<0.001), lower physical HRQoL (regression coefficient-8.54, 95% CI, -11.54 to-5.54, P<0.001), and lower mental HRQoL (regression coefficient-4.66, 95% CI, -7.15 to-2.17, P<0.001). These associations were independent of potential confounders including age, time since transplantation, history of upper gastrointestinal disease, antiplatelet therapy, and the total number of medications. They were present among all individually assessed PPI types and were dose dependent. Duration of PPI exposure was only associated with fatigue severity. LIMITATIONS: Residual confounding and inability to assess causal relationships. CONCLUSIONS: PPI use is independently associated with fatigue and lower HRQoL among kidney transplant recipients. PPI use might be an easily accessible target for alleviating fatigue and improving HRQoL among kidney transplant recipients. Further studies examining the effect of PPI exposure in this population are warranted. PLAIN-LANGUAGE SUMMARY: In this observational study, we investigated the association of proton pump inhibitors with fatigue and health-related quality of life among kidney transplant recipients. Our data showed that proton pump inhibitors were independently associated with fatigue severity, severe fatigue, and lower physical and mental health-related quality of life. These associations were present among all individually assessed proton pump inhibitor types and were dose dependent. While we await future studies on this topic, proton pump inhibitor use might be an easily accessible target for alleviating fatigue and improving health-related quality of life among kidney transplant recipients.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Psychological distress is common among patients with chronic kidney disease and can interfere with disease self-management. We assessed the effectiveness of the personalized E-GOAL electronic health care pathway with screening and cognitive-behavioral therapy including self-management support, aimed to treat psychological distress and facilitate self-management among people with chronic kidney disease not on dialysis ( N = 121). METHODS: Primary outcome of the open two-arm parallel randomized controlled trial in four Dutch hospitals was psychological distress at posttest directly after the intervention and at 3-month follow-up. Secondary outcomes were physical and mental health-related quality of life, self-efficacy, chronic disease self-management, and personalized outcomes, that is, perceived progress compared with the previous time point on functioning (e.g., mood or social functioning) and self-management (e.g., dietary or medication adherence) outcomes that were prioritized by each individual. RESULTS: Linear mixed-effects analyses showed no significant time-by-group interaction effects for psychological distress, health-related quality of life, self-efficacy, and chronic condition self-management, whereas analyses of covariance showed significantly more perceived progress in the intervention group at posttest on personally prioritized areas of functioning ( b = 0.46, 95% confidence interval = 0.07-0.85) and self-management ( b = 0.55, 95% confidence interval = 0.16-0.95), with Cohen d values of 0.46 and 0.54 (medium effects), respectively. Effects on personalized outcomes were maintained at follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: Compared with regular care only, the electronic health intervention did not reduce psychological distress, whereas personalized outcomes did improve significantly after intervention. Future studies could consider personalized outcomes that reflect individually relevant areas and treatment goals, matching person-tailored treatments. TRIAL REGISTRATION: Registered at the Netherlands Trial Register with study number NTR7555 ( https://trialsearch.who.int/Trial2.aspx?TrialID=NTR7555 ).

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Low 24-h urinary potassium excretion, reflecting low potassium intake, is associated with premature mortality in the general population. OBJECTIVES: To determine whether urinary potassium excretion is associated with all-cause mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes. METHODS: We performed a prospective cohort study in 654 patients with type 2 diabetes in the Diabetes and Lifestyle Cohort Twente (DIALECT). Sex-specific tertiles of 24-h urinary potassium excretion were analyzed in a multivariable Cox regression model with all-cause mortality. The outpatient program of the hospital uses a continuous surveillance system by the municipal registry of death to ensure up-to-date information on the patient's status (alive or deceased). FFQs were used to study associations between urinary potassium excretion and food products. RESULTS: Urinary potassium excretion at baseline was 84 ± 25 mmol/d in males and 65 ± 22 mmol/d in females, corresponding to estimated potassium intakes of 4250 ± 1270 mg/d and 3300 ± 875 mg/d. During a median follow-up of 5.2 (IQR: 2.7-7.9] y, 96 participants died. In a fully adjusted model, patients in the lowest sex-specific tertile had a higher risk of all-cause mortality, compared with patients in the highest sex-specific tertile (HR: 2.09; 95% CI: 1.06, 4.10; P = 0.03). Patients in the lowest sex-specific tertile consumed fewer fruits and vegetables, dairy, coffee, and potato products compared with patients in the highest sex-specific tertile (all P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Low potassium intake is associated with a higher risk of all-cause mortality in Dutch patients with type 2 diabetes. Intervention studies are needed to determine whether potassium supplementation improves longevity in patients with type 2 diabetes. This trial was registered in the Dutch Trial Register as NTR trial code 5855.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: In chronic kidney disease, proteinuria increases urinary copper excretion, inducing oxidative tubular damage and worsening kidney function. We investigated whether this phenomenon occurred in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs). In addition, we studied the associations of urinary copper excretion with the biomarker of oxidative tubular damage urinary liver-type fatty-acid binding protein (u-LFABP) and death-censored graft failure. METHODS: This prospective cohort study was performed in the Netherlands between 2008 and 2017, including outpatient KTR with a functioning graft for longer than 1 year, who were extensively phenotyped at baseline. Twenty-four-hour urinary copper excretion was measured by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Multivariable linear and Cox regression analyses were performed. RESULTS: In 693 KTR (57% men, 53 ± 13 years, estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] 52 ± 20 mL/min/1.73 m2), baseline median urinary copper excretion was 23.6 (interquartile range 11.3-15.9) µg/24 h. Urinary protein excretion was positively associated with urinary copper excretion (standardized ß = 0.39, p < 0.001), and urinary copper excretion was positively associated with u-LFABP (standardized ß = 0.29, p < 0.001). During a median follow-up of 8 years, 109 (16%) KTR developed graft failure. KTR with relatively high copper excretion were at higher risk of long-term graft failure (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.57, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.32-1.86 per log2, p < 0.001), independent of multiple potential confounders like eGFR, urinary protein excretion, and time after transplantation. A dose-response relationship was observed over increasing tertiles of copper excretion (HR: 5.03, 95% CI: 2.75-9.19, tertile 3 vs. 1, p < 0.001). u-LFABP was a significant mediator of this association (74% of indirect effect, p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: In KTR, urinary protein excretion is positively correlated with urinary copper excretion. In turn, higher urinary copper excretion is associated with an independent increased risk of kidney graft failure, with a substantial mediating effect through oxidative tubular damage. Further studies are warranted to investigate whether copper excretion-targeted interventions could improve kidney graft survival.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Cadmium is an established nephrotoxin, present in cigarette smoke. We investigated the hazards of cadmium concentration and smoking status on renal function deterioration. We furthermore discerned whether the association of cadmium concentration with renal function deterioration is attributable to smoking status. METHODS: Prospective analyses were performed in data of 226 patients of the DIAbetes and LifEstyle Cohort Twente-1 (DIALECT). Cadmium concentrations were determined from EDTA whole-blood. Smoking status was determined via a self-administered questionnaire. Renal function deterioration was defined as need for renal replacement therapy or a persistent decline of ≥30% in estimated glomerular filtration rate from baseline for at least 3 months. Multivariable Cox regression models were performed to calculate hazard ratios (HRs) for the association between smoking status, cadmium concentration and renal function deterioration. RESULTS: Median (interquartile range) whole-blood cadmium was 2.9 (1.9-5.1) nmol/L. Active smokers had significantly higher cadmium [7.4 (3.3-11.7) nmol/L] compared with never smokers [2.6 (1.6-4.2) nmol/L] and former smokers [2.8 (1.8-4.8) nmol/L]. During median follow-up for 6 (4-8) years, renal function deterioration occurred in 60 persons (27%). Both cadmium and active smoking were associated with an increased hazard for renal function deterioration [HR 1.37, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) 1.06-1.78 and 3.77, 95% CI 1.72-8.29, respectively]. In a multivariable model with both smoking status and cadmium concentration included, active smokers have an increased risk for renal function deterioration (HR 3.00, 95% CI 1.22-7.40), while the association between cadmium and renal function deterioration lost statistical significance (HR 1.16, 95% CI 0.87-1.54). CONCLUSIONS: Active smoking is associated with progressive kidney disease in type 2 diabetes. The association between cadmium concentration and renal function deterioration in large part determined by smoking status. Extensive assessment of smoking status may be useful in patients with type 2 diabetesat high risk of kidney damage.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Fatigue and impaired health-related quality of life (HRQoL) are common among kidney transplant recipients (KTR). We hypothesized that both may partially be attributable to poor sleep. METHODS: Cross-sectional and longitudinal data of KTR enrolled in the TransplantLines Biobank and Cohort Study were used. Sleep quality was assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index questionnaire. Individual strength (i.e. a composite of fatigue, concentration, motivation and physical activity), societal participation and HRQoL were assessed using validated questionnaires. RESULTS: We included 872 KTR (39% female, age 56 ± 13 years) and 335 healthy controls. In total, 33% of male KTR and 49% of female KTR reported poor sleep quality, which was higher compared with male and female healthy controls (19% and 28%, respectively, P < .001 for both). In logistic regression analyses, female sex, anxiety, active smoking, low protein intake, physically inactive lifestyle, low plasma magnesium concentration, using calcineurin inhibitors, not using mTOR inhibitors and using benzodiazepine agonists were associated with poor sleep quality. In adjusted linear regression analyses, poor sleep was strongly and independently associated with lower individual strength [standardized ß (st.ß) = 0.59, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.45 to 0.74, P < .001], poorer societal participation (frequency: st.ß = -0.17, 95% CI -0.32 to -0.01, P = .04; restrictions: st.ß = -0.36, 95% CI -0.51 to -0.21, P < .001; satisfaction: st.ß = -0.44, 95% CI -0.59 to -0.28, P < .001) and lower HRQoL (physical: st.ß = -0.53, 95% CI -0.68 to -0.38, P < .001; mental: st.ß = -0.64, 95% CI -0.78 to -0.50, P < .001). The associations with poorer societal participation and lower HRQoL were strongly mediated by individual strength (P < .001 for all), yet the suggested direct effects of poor sleep quality on HRQoL remained significant (Pphysical = .03, Pmental = .002). Longitudinal data of 292 KTR showed that sleep quality improves after kidney transplantation in males (P < .001), but not in females (P = .9). CONCLUSIONS: Poor sleep quality is common among KTR, and may be a potential target to improve fatigue, societal participation and HRQoL among KTR.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Cognitive impairment is often present shortly after transplantation in kidney transplant recipients (KTR). To date, it is unknown whether these impairments persist in thelong term, to what extent they are associated with disease-related variables and whether they affect societal participation and quality of life (QoL) of KTR. METHOD: This study was part of the TransplantLines Biobank & Cohort Study in the University Medical Center Groningen. A total of 131 KTR, with a mean age of 53.6 years (SD = 13.5) transplanted ≥1 year ago (M = 11.2 years, range 1-41.7 years), were included and compared with 306 healthy controls (HC). KTR and HC were well matched; there were no significant differences regarding age, sex and education. All participants were assessed with neuropsychological tests measuring memory, mental speed, attention and executive functioning, and with questionnaires examining societal participation and QoL. RESULTS: Compared with HC, KTR performed significantly worse on memory, mental speed and measures of executive functioning (all P-values <0.05). Moreover, 16% of KTR met the criteria for mild cognitive impairment (MCI), compared with 2.6% of the HC. MCI in KTR was not significantly correlated with age- and disease-related variables. Poorer cognitive functioning was significantly related to lower levels of societal participation and to lower QoL (all P-values <0.01). CONCLUSIONS: This study shows long-term cognitive impairments in KTR, which are not related to disease-related variables. Neuropsychological assessment is important to timely signal these impairments, given their serious negative impact on societal participation and QoL.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Deficiency of the essential trace element selenium is common in kidney transplant recipients (KTR), potentially hampering antioxidant and anti-inflammatory defence. Whether this impacts the long-term outcomes of KTR remains unknown. We investigated the association of urinary selenium excretion, a biomarker of selenium intake, with all-cause mortality; and its dietary determinants. METHODS: In this cohort study, outpatient KTR with a functioning graft for longer than 1 year were recruited (2008-11). Baseline 24-h urinary selenium excretion was measured by mass spectrometry. Diet was assessed by a 177-item food frequency questionnaire, and protein intake was calculated by the Maroni equation. Multivariable linear and Cox regression analyses were performed. RESULTS: In 693 KTR (43% men, 52 ± 12 years), baseline urinary selenium excretion was 18.8 (interquartile range 15.1-23.4) µg/24-h. During a median follow-up of 8 years, 229 (33%) KTR died. KTR in the first tertile of urinary selenium excretion, compared with those in the third, had over a 2-fold risk of all-cause mortality [hazard ratio 2.36 (95% confidence interval 1.70-3.28); P < .001], independent of multiple potential confounders including time since transplantation and plasma albumin concentration. The most important dietary determinant of urinary selenium excretion was protein intake (Standardized ß 0.49, P < .001). CONCLUSIONS: Relatively low selenium intake is associated with a higher risk of all-cause mortality in KTR. Dietary protein intake is its most important determinant. Further research is required to evaluate the potential benefit of accounting for selenium intake in the care of KTR, particularly among those with low protein intake.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: One of the challenges in living kidney donor screening is to estimate remaining kidney function after donation. Here we developed a new model to predict post-donation measured glomerular filtration rate (mGFR) from pre-donation serum creatinine, age and sex. METHODS: In the prospective development cohort (TransplantLines, n = 511), several prediction models were constructed and tested for accuracy, precision and predictive capacity for short- and long-term post-donation 125I-iothalamate mGFR. The model with optimal performance was further tested in specific high-risk subgroups (pre-donation eGFR <90 mL/min/1.73 m2, a declining 5-year post-donation mGFR slope or age >65 years) and validated in internal (n = 509) and external (Mayo Clinic, n = 1087) cohorts. RESULTS: In the development cohort, pre-donation estimated GFR (eGFR) was 86 ± 14 mL/min/1.73 m2 and post-donation mGFR was 64 ± 11 mL/min/1.73 m2. Donors with a pre-donation eGFR ≥90 mL/min/1.73 m2 (present in 43%) had a mean post-donation mGFR of 69 ± 10 mL/min/1.73 m2 and 5% of these donors reached an mGFR <55 mL/min/1.73 m2. A model using pre-donation serum creatinine, age and sex performed optimally, predicting mGFR with good accuracy (mean bias 2.56 mL/min/1.73 m2, R2 = 0.29, root mean square error = 11.61) and precision [bias interquartile range (IQR) 14 mL/min/1.73 m2] in the external validation cohort. This model also performed well in donors with pre-donation eGFR <90 mL/min/1.73 m2 [bias 0.35 mL/min/1.73 m2 (IQR 10)], in donors with a negative post-donation mGFR slope [bias 4.75 mL/min/1.73 m2 (IQR 13)] and in donors >65 years of age [bias 0.003 mL/min/1.73 m2 (IQR 9)]. CONCLUSIONS: We developed a novel post-donation mGFR prediction model based on pre-donation serum creatinine, age and sex.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Patients with chronic kidney disease are often requested to engage in self-monitoring sodium (i.e. salt) intake, but it is currently unknown how self-monitoring would empower them. This study aims to assess: (1) how frequent self-monitoring tools are being used during low-sodium diet self-management interventions; (2) whether self-efficacy (i.e. trust in own capability to manage the chronic disease) is associated with self-monitoring frequency; and (3) whether higher self-monitoring frequency is associated with an improvement in self-efficacy over time. METHOD: Data from two multicenter randomized controlled trials (ESMO [n = 151] and SUBLIME [n = 99]) among adult Dutch patients with chronic kidney disease (eGFR ≥ 20-25 mL/min/1.73 m2) were used. In both studies, routine care was compared to a 3-month low-sodium diet self-management intervention with several self-monitoring tools (online food diary, home blood pressure monitor, and urinary sodium measurement device [only ESMO]). Data was collected on usage frequency of self-monitoring tools. Frequencies during the interventions were compared between low and high baseline self-efficacy groups using the Mann-Whitney U test and T-test and associated with changes in self-efficacy during the interventions using Spearman correlation coefficients. RESULTS: Large variations in self-monitoring frequency were observed. In both interventions, usage of self-monitoring tools was highest during the first month with sharp drops thereafter. The online food diary was the most frequently used tool. In the ESMO intervention, low baseline self-efficacy was associated with a higher usage frequency of self-monitoring tools. This finding was not confirmed in the SUBLIME intervention. No significant associations were found between usage frequency of self-monitoring tools and changes in self-efficacy over time. CONCLUSION: Patients with low self-efficacy might benefit most from frequent usage of self-monitoring tools when sufficient guidance and support is provided.

RESUMO

Single-kidney glomerular filtration rate (GFR) increases after living kidney donation due to compensatory hyperfiltration and structural changes. The implications of inter-individual variability in this increase in single-kidney GFR are unknown. Here, we aimed to identify determinants of the increase in single-kidney GFR at three-month postdonation, and to investigate its relationship with long-term kidney function. In a cohort study in 1024 donors, we found considerable inter-individual variability of the early increase in remaining single-kidney estimated GFR (eGFR) (median [25th-75th percentile]) 12 [8-18] mL/min/1.73m2. Predonation eGFR, age, and cortical kidney volume measured by CT were the main determinants of the early postdonation increase in single-kidney eGFR. Individuals with a stronger early increase in single-kidney eGFR had a significantly higher five-year postdonation eGFR, independent of predonation eGFR and age. Addition of the postdonation increase in single-kidney eGFR to a model including predonation eGFR and age significantly improved prediction of a five-year postdonation eGFR under 50 mL/min/1.73m2. Results at ten-year follow-up were comparable, while accounting for left-right differences in kidney volume did not materially change the results. Internal validation using 125I-iothalamate-based measured GFR in 529 donors and external validation using eGFR data in 647 donors yielded highly similar results. Thus, individuals with a more pronounced increase in single-kidney GFR had better long-term kidney function, independent of predonation GFR and age. Hence, the early postdonation increase in single-kidney GFR, considered indicative for kidney reserve capacity, may have additional value to eGFR and age to personalize follow-up intensity after living kidney donation.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The overall consumption of ultra-processed food (UPF) has previously been associated with type 2 diabetes. However, due to the substantial heterogeneity of this food category, in terms of their nutritional composition and product type, it remains unclear whether previous results apply to all underlying consumption patterns of UPF. METHODS: Of 70,421 participants (35-70 years, 58.6% women) from the Lifelines cohort study, dietary intake was assessed with a food frequency questionnaire. UPF was identified according to the NOVA classification. Principal component analysis (PCA) was performed to derive UPF consumption patterns. The associations of UPF and adherence to UPF consumption patterns with incidence of type 2 diabetes were studied with logistic regression analyses adjusted for age, sex, diet quality, energy intake, alcohol intake, physical activity, TV watching time, smoking status, and educational level. RESULTS: During a median follow-up of 41 months, a 10% increment in UPF consumption was associated with a 25% higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes (1128 cases; OR 1.25 [95% CI 1.16, 1.34]). PCA revealed four habitual UPF consumption patterns. A pattern high in cold savory snacks (OR 1.16 [95% CI 1.09, 1.22]) and a pattern high in warm savory snacks (OR 1.15 [95% CI 1.08, 1.21]) were associated with an increased risk of incident type 2 diabetes; a pattern high in traditional Dutch cuisine was not associated with type 2 diabetes incidence (OR 1.05 [95% CI 0.97, 1.14]), while a pattern high in sweet snacks and pastries was inversely associated with type 2 diabetes incidence (OR 0.82 [95% CI 0.76, 0.89]). CONCLUSIONS: The heterogeneity of UPF as a general food category is reflected by the discrepancy in associations between four distinct UPF consumption patterns and incident type 2 diabetes. For better public health prevention, research is encouraged to further clarify how different UPF consumption patterns are related to type 2 diabetes.

RESUMO

RATIONALE & OBJECTIVE: Heavy metals are known to induce kidney damage, and recent studies have linked minor exposures to cadmium and arsenic with increased risk of kidney allograft failure, yet the potential association of lead with late graft failure in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) remains unknown. STUDY DESIGN: Prospective cohort study in The Netherlands. SETTING & PARTICIPANTS: We studied outpatient KTRs (n = 670) with a functioning graft for ≥1 year recruited at a university setting (2008-2011) and followed for a median of 4.9 (interquartile range, 3.4-5.5) years. Additionally, patients with chronic kidney disease (n = 46) enrolled in the ongoing TransplantLines Cohort and Biobank Study (2016-2017, ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT03272841) were studied at admission for transplant and at 3, 6, 12, and 24 months after transplant. EXPOSURE: Plasma lead concentration was log2-transformed to estimate the association with outcomes per doubling of plasma lead concentration and also considered categorically as tertiles of lead distribution. OUTCOME: Kidney graft failure (restart of dialysis or repeat transplant) with the competing event of death with a functioning graft. ANALYTICAL APPROACH: Multivariable-adjusted cause-specific hazards models in which follow-up of KTRs who died with a functioning graft was censored. RESULTS: Median baseline plasma lead concentration was 0.31 (interquartile range, 0.22-0.45) µg/L among all KTRs. During follow-up, 78 (12%) KTRs experienced graft failure. Higher plasma lead concentration was associated with increased risk of graft failure (hazard ratio, 1.59 [95% CI, 1.14-2.21] per doubling; P = 0.006) independent of age, sex, transplant characteristics, estimated glomerular filtration rate, proteinuria, smoking status, alcohol intake, and plasma concentrations of cadmium and arsenic. These findings remained materially unchanged after additional adjustment for dietary intake and were consistent with those of analyses examining lead categorically. In serial measurements, plasma lead concentration was significantly higher at admission for transplant than at 3 months after transplant (P = 0.001), after which it remained stable over 2 years of follow-up (P = 0.2). LIMITATIONS: Observational study design. CONCLUSIONS: Pretransplant plasma lead concentrations, which decrease after transplant, are associated with increased risk of late kidney allograft failure. These findings warrant further studies to evaluate whether preventive or therapeutic interventions to decrease plasma lead concentration may represent novel risk-management strategies to decrease the rate of kidney allograft failure.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Individuals with type 2 diabetes have a substantially elevated cardiovascular risk. A higher plasma phosphate level promotes vascular calcification, which may adversely affect outcomes in individuals with type 2 diabetes. We hypothesized that the association between plasma phosphate and all-cause mortality is stronger in individuals with type 2 diabetes, compared to those without diabetes. METHODS: We analysed the association between plasma phosphate and all-cause mortality in the Dutch population-based Lifelines cohort and in subgroups with and without type 2 diabetes, using multivariable Cox regression adjusted for potential confounders. Effect modification was tested using multiplicative interaction terms. RESULTS: We included 57,170 individuals with 9.4 [8.8-10.4] years follow-up. Individuals within the highest phosphate tertile (range 1.00-1.83 mmol/L) were at higher risk of all-cause mortality (fully adjusted HR 1.18 [95% CI 1.02-1.36], p = 0.02), compared with the intermediate tertile (range 0.85-0.99 mmol/L). We found significant effect modification by baseline type 2 diabetes status (p-interaction = 0.003). Within the type 2 diabetes subgroup (N = 1790), individuals within the highest plasma phosphate tertile had an increased mortality risk (HR 1.73 [95% CI 1.10-2.72], p = 0.02 vs intermediate tertile). In individuals without diabetes at baseline (N = 55,380), phosphate was not associated with mortality (HR 1.12 [95% CI 0.96-1.31], p = 0.14). Results were similar after excluding individuals with eGFR < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2. DISCUSSION: High-normal plasma phosphate levels were associated with all-cause mortality in individuals with type 2 diabetes. The association was weaker and non-significant in those without diabetes. Measurement of phosphate levels should be considered in type 2 diabetes; whether lowering phosphate levels can improve health outcomes in diabetes requires further study.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Education and income, as two primary socioeconomic indicators, are often used interchangeably in health research. However, there is a lack of clear distinction between these two indicators concerning their associations with health. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the separate and combined effects of education and income in relation to incident type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases in the general population. DESIGN AND PARTICIPANTS: Participants aged between 30 and 65 years from the prospective Dutch Lifelines cohort study were included. Two sub-cohorts were subsequently created, including 83,759 and 91,083 participants for a type 2 diabetes cohort and a cardiovascular diseases cohort, respectively. MAIN MEASURES: Education and income level were assessed by self-report questionnaires. The outcomes were incident type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases (defined as the earliest non-fatal cardiovascular event). KEY RESULTS: A total of 1228 new cases of type 2 diabetes (incidence 1.5%) and 3286 (incidence 3.6%) new cases of cardiovascular diseases were identified, after a median follow-up of 43 and 44 months, respectively. Low education and low income (<1000 euro/month) were both positively associated with a higher risk of incident type 2 diabetes (OR 1.24 [95%CI 1.04-1.48] and OR 1.71 [95%CI 1.30-2.26], respectively); and with a higher risk of incident cardiovascular diseases (OR 1.15 [95%CI 1.04-1.28] and OR 1.24 [95%CI 1.02-1.52], respectively); independent of age, sex, lifestyle factors, BMI, clinical biomarkers, comorbid conditions at baseline, and each other. Results from the combined associations of education and income showed that within each education group, a higher income was associated with better health; and similarly, a higher education was associated with better health within each income group, except for the low-income group. CONCLUSIONS: Education and income were both independently associated with incident type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. The combined associations of these two socioeconomic indicators revealed that within each education or income level, substantial health disparities existed across strata of the other socioeconomic indicator. Education and income are two equally important socioeconomic indicators in health, and should be considered simultaneously in health research and policymaking.
