Non-valvular atrial fibrillation in patients on peritoneal dialysis, prevalence, treatment and professionals involved
The objective of our study was to know the prevalence, treatment and professionals involved in the management of atrial fibrillation in peritoneal dialysis patients. For this purpose, we performed a descriptive analysis through a survey sent to different peritoneal dialysis units in Spain. A total of 1,403 patients on peritoneal dialysis were included in the study, of whom 186 (13.2%) had non-valvular atrial fibrillation. In addition, the assessment of the scores of thromboembolic and bleeding risks for the indication of oral anticoagulation was mainly carried out by the cardiologist (60% of the units), as well as its pres...

Associations of Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D and Vitamin D Receptor Polymorphisms with Risks of Cardiovascular Disease and Mortality among Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease: A Prospective Study
CONCLUSIONS: Higher serum 25(OH)D concentrations were significantly associated with lower risks of total and subtypes of CVD incidence and mortality among individuals with CKD. These findings highlight the importance of maintaining adequate vitamin D status in the prevention of CVD and mortality in patients with CKD.PMID:38608754 | DOI:10.1016/j.ajcnut.2024.04.001 (Source: The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition)

Evaluating prescription of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin II receptor blockers in patients with diabetes and albuminuria
CONCLUSION: ACEi/ARB therapy was suboptimal in patients with diabetes, hypertension, and albuminuria. Non-adherence was associated with CKD stage, possibly because of concerns about adverse events and healthcare-related factors.PMID:38606848 | DOI:10.5414/CN111247 (Source: Clinical Nephrology)

Accuracy of physical examination versus Doppler ultrasonography for determining maturity in postoperative arteriovenous fistula formation
CONCLUSION: Although a prudent physician predicts AVF maturation through a thorough physical examination, Doppler ultrasonography is preferred in anticipating the success of postoperative AVF placement.PMID:38609821 | DOI:10.1016/j.asjsur.2024.03.176 (Source: Asian Journal of Surgery)

Diets high in subsidized foods and chronic kidney disease in Hispanic communities in the United States: the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos
AbstractPrior research shows that diets high in government subsidized foods may be associated with cardiometabolic disease risk factors. Our aim was to evaluate the relationship between diets high in subsidized foods and the development of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and other cardiometabolic risk factors in United States (US) Hispanics/Latinos. Using data from 16,172 Hispanics/Latino ’s living in the United States, we used the Cochran-Armitage test to assess the relationship between subsidized foods in the diets of participants and baseline characteristics. We used survey-weighted Poisson regression models to examine w...

Effect modification of polypharmacy on incident frailty by chronic kidney disease in older adults
Frailty and polypharmacy are common conditions in older adults, especially in those with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Therefore, we analyzed the association of polypharmacy and incident frailty and the effect... (Source: BMC Geriatrics)

Mechanisms and Implications of Podocyte Autophagy in Chronic Kidney Disease
Am J Physiol Renal Physiol. 2024 Apr 11. doi: 10.1152/ajprenal.00415.2023. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAutophagy is a protective mechanism through which cells degrade and recycle proteins and organelles to maintain cellular homeostasis and integrity. An accumulating body of evidence underscores the significant impact of dysregulated autophagy on podocyte injury in chronic kidney disease. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of the diverse types of autophagy and their regulation in cellular homeostasis, with a specific emphasis on podocytes. Furthermore, we discuss recent findings that focus on the function...

Effect of SGLT2 inhibitors on anemia and their possible clinical implications

Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) have demonstrated cardiovascular and renal benefits in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, heart failure, or chronic kidney disease. Since the first studies with these drugs, an initial increase in hemoglobin/hematocrit levels was observed, which was attributed to an increase in hemoconcentration associated with its diuretic effect, although it was early appearent that these drugs increased erythropoietin levels and erythropoiesis, and improved iron...
