Cardiovascular and Stroke Risk in Japanese Hemodialysis Patients With Atrial Fibrillation
Abstract Atrial fibrillation is one of the most common arrhythmias in hemodialysis patients. We evaluated its clinical outcomes among hemodialysis patients with atrial fibrillation in Japan. Using data derived from the Japanese Dialysis Outcomes and Practice Patterns Study, we analyzed backgrounds and outcomes among hemodialysis patients with and without atrial fibrillation in Japan. Among 7002 hemodialysis patients, the prevalence of atrial fibrillation was 5.7% and the incidence was 0.2 per 100 patient‐years. Atrial fibrillation was independently associated with all‐cause mortality (hazard ratio, 1.32; 95% confidence...

ESRD After Heart Failure, Myocardial Infarction, or Stroke in Type  2 Diabetic Patients With CKD
Conclusions Most ESRD cases occurred in individuals without intercurrent CV events who had lower eGFRs than individuals with intercurrent CV events, but similar post-ESRD mortality. Nevertheless, intercurrent CV events, particularly heart failure, are strongly associated with risk for ESRD. These findings underscore the need for kidney-specific therapies in addition to treatment of CV risk factors to lower ESRD incidence in diabetes.

Prognostic factors for acute ischemic stroke in patients undergoing hemodialysis
ConclusionsAlong with neurological severity, dialysis vintage, intradialytic hypotension, and diabetic nephropathy could worsen the prognosis of patients with AIS undergoing hemodialysis.

24-h residual urine volume at hemodialysis initiation: A possible predictor for acute ischemic stroke incurrence in hemodialyis patients
Abstract: Background: Residual renal function (RRF) recently has been confirmed to be a significant predictor of morbidity and mortality in hemodialysis (HD) patients. As RRF is not exactly the same with 24-h residual urine volume, the aim of our study is to evaluate the association of residual urine volume with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) among HD patients.Methods: 282 patients starting chronic HD in our center during January 2005 and December 2008 were enrolled. The clinical data at HD initiation and the occurrence of AIS since starting HD were recorded and obtained from our database. According to the prevalence of AIS, ...

Response to the Letter by Tariq
We stated in our discussion section that “A previous study16 reported 35% mortality within 30 days of IV rt-PA treatment in dialysis dependent renal failure patients.” The mention of IV rt-PA in these patients is a mistake on our part. The 35% mortality within 30 days reported by Sozio et al was reported for all stroke subtypes including hemorrhagic strokes. The following study does not mention if IV rt-PA was administered or not in these patients.

Nontraumatic Subarachnoid Hemorrhage in Maintenance Dialysis Hospitalizations: Trends and Outcomes Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— SAH hospitalizations are more common and associated with higher mortality in patients on maintenance dialysis than in the general population. Although being on maintenance dialysis is an independent predictor for mortality in patients with SAH, other predictors of mortality evaluated in this study are not necessarily different between the 2 groups.

Association of blood pressure with all‐cause mortality and stroke in Japanese hemodialysis patients: The Japan dialysis outcomes and practice pattern study
Abstract The association of low blood pressure (BP) with high mortality is a characteristic for hemodialysis patients. This analysis clarifies the association of BP with mortality and stroke in Japanese hemodialysis (HD) patients and examines the association separately for patients with and without antihypertensive medication (BP meds). We analyzed 9134 patients from Japan in phases 1–4 (1999–2011) of the Dialysis Outcomes and Practice Patterns Study (DOPPS), a prospective cohort study of in‐center HD patients. The association of patient systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood pressure with all‐cause and cause‐s...

Warfarin use, mortality, bleeding and stroke in haemodialysis patients with atrial fibrillation
This interesting study of hemodialysis patients on oral anticoagulation for atrial fibrillation showed that although their overall mortality was high – it was not associated with warfarin.  In fact, warfarin was associated with better survival and antiplatelet agents increased overall mortality. . : The intersection of risk and benefit: is warfarin anticoagulation suitable for atrial fibrillation in patients on hemodialysis?

Anticoagulation therapy: Balancing the risks of stroke and bleeding in CKD
Nature Reviews Nephrology 11, 200 (2015). doi:10.1038/nrneph.2015.14 Authors: Arman Qamar & Deepak L. Bhatt Whether anticoagulation with warfarin is safe and reduces risk of stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation and chronic kidney disease is unclear. A recent observational study shows a net clinical benefit of warfarin—without increased risk of bleeding—in this population, including in patients on dialysis.

Effect of antithrombotic and antiplatelet agents for ischemic stroke in atrial fibrillation patients with dialysis
With great interest, we read Chen et al. study about antithrombotic agents in patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD) and atrial fibrillation (AF) [1]. The authors found that anti-platelet or warfarin treatment could not lower the risk of ischemic stroke in patients with ESRD. We have some concerns about this study.

Meta-Analysis of Anticoagulation Use, Stroke, Thromboembolism, Bleeding and Mortality in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation on Dialysis
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is common in patients on dialysis. While randomized trials of anticoagulation for AF have demonstrated striking reductions in stroke, these trials did not recruit dialysis patients. We thus undertook this systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies. Electronic databases were searched for studies including AF patients on dialysis that reported observational associations of anticoagulation use. Twenty-one studies involving 530,031 individuals and 31,611 AF patients on dialysis were identified.
