Dietary potassium intake is a dilemma in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). We investigated the association of urine potassium excretion, a surrogate for dietary potassium intake, with blood pressure variability (BPV) and cardiovascular (CV) outcomes in patients with pre-dialysis CKD. A total of 1860 participants from a cohort of pre-dialysis CKD (KNOW-CKD) patients were divided into the quartiles by spot urine potassium-to-creatinine ratio. The first quartile (26.423 ± 5.731 mmol/gCr) was defined as low urine potassium excretion. Multivariate linear regression analyses revealed an independent association of low urine potassium excretion with high BPV (adjusted β coefficient 1.163, 95% confidence interval 0.424 to 1.901). Cox regression analyses demonstrated that, compared to high urine potassium excretion, low urine potassium excretion is associated with increased risk of CV events (adjusted hazard ratio 2.502, 95% confidence interval 1.162 to 5.387) but not with all-cause mortality. In conclusion, low urine potassium excretion is associated with high BPV and increased risk of CV events in patients with pre-dialysis CKD. The restriction of dietary potassium intake should be individualized in patients with pre-dialysis CKD.

Introduction: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients are at an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) compared to the general population. Prior studies have produced contradictory results for the associations of sodium and potassium intake with the risk of CVD. In addition, these associations have not been investigated in patients with CKD. Hypothesis: We assessed the prospective associations between urinary sodium and potassium excretion and CVD event rates among patients with CKD. Methods: The Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort Study (CRIC) is a prospective cohort study of 3,939 participants with CKD from seven locations in the United States. Dietary sodium and potassium intake are assessed by averaging three 24-hour urinary measures and calibrating to sex-specific mean 24-hour urinary creatinine excretion. Composite CVD event is defined as myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, or congestive heart failure (CHF). CVD events are reported every six months and confirmed by medical record adjudication. Results: Over an average 6.5 years of follow-up, 660 CVD events were observed. The highest quartile (>197.7 mmol/24 hours) of adjusted sodium excretion had a hazard ratio (HR) of 1.52 (95% confidence interval 1.23, 1.88; p for trend across quartiles 70.5 mmol/24 hours) of adjusted potassium excretion had a HR of 1.46 (1.14, 1.87; p for trend across quartiles 0.0009) for composite CVD events compared to the lowest quartile (≤41.2 mmol/24 hours). When modeled continuously, every 100-mmol/24 hours higher adjusted sodium excretion was associated with an increased HR of 1.25 (1.14, 1.36) for composite CVD events, 1.25 (1.13, 1.39) for CHF, 1.32 (1.08, 1.61) for stroke, and 1.09 (0.93, 1.27) for MI. In addition, every 50-mmol/24 hour higher adjusted potassium intake was associated with an increased HR of 1.25 (1.10, 1.41) for composite CVD events, 1.32 (1.15, 1.52) for CHF, 1.11 (0.81, 1.54) for stroke, and 1.00 (0.79, 1.27) for MI. Conclusions: Our study found that high dietary sodium and potassium are both associated with an increased risk of CVD among patients with CKD. These findings suggest that reductions in high dietary sodium and potassium intake might reduce the risk of CVD among patients with CKD.

Abstract Background Blood pressure (BP) control is critical in delaying the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD), which otherwise results in an increased risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) or angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, are recommended by several guidelines as first-line treatment for patients with hypertension and CKD. Purpose We reviewed and analysed the effect of ARB treatment on BP and renal outcomes (estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), serum creatinine (SCr), creatinine clearance (CrCl) or proteinuria) in patients with hypertension and CKD with or without diabetes, including large clinical trials such as RENAAL and IDNT. Methods MEDLINE, EMBASE, and BIOSIS databases were searched for literature from the earliest available date to July 2017. Randomised (parallel-group) controlled trials of ≥8 weeks assessed the impact of ARBs on systolic/diastolic BP (SBP/DBP), eGFR, SCr, CrCl or proteinuria were included in the analysis. Meta-analysis (post- versus pre-treatment) and meta-regression were conducted in R-statistical software (v3.4.1) using meta- and metafor-packages. Mean difference (MD, generic inverse variance) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) was used to pool data for an outcome in a single forest plot. The risk of bias (quality) of included studies was assessed by the six items of the Cochrane instrument. Results Of the 165 articles assessed for eligibility, 24 studies were included in the analysis (19 evaluated ARBs as monotherapy, 4 evaluated ARBs in combination with other antihypertensives and 1 evaluated ARBs both as mono- and combination therapy). Treatment with ARBs as monotherapy for ≥8 weeks to <1 year significantly reduced mean office SBP (MD, −12.60 mmHg; 95% CI, −18.53 to −6.67)/DBP (−6.52 mmHg; −11.27 to −1.77) (p<0.01). BP reduction was also significant (p<0.01) with ARB monotherapy for ≥1 year SBP (−14.84 mmHg; −17.82 to −11.85)/DBP (−10.27 mmHg; −12.26 to −8.27). ARBs also significantly reduced SBP/DBP when combined with other antihypertensive treatments for ≥8 weeks to <1 year as well as for ≥1 year (Figure). Moreover, ARBs induced significant reductions (p<0.01) in proteinuria (≥8 weeks to <1 year [MD, −0.6 g/L; 95% CI, −0.93 to −0.26; ≥1 year [−0.9 g/L; −1.22 to −0.59]), but no significant changes in eGFR, CrCl or SCr levels. The beneficial effect of ARBs was maintained overtime with no significant additional impact on SBP change (estimate: 0.025; 95% CI, –0.14 to 0.19) or eGFR (estimate: 0.068; 95% CI, −0.14 to 0.28; p=0.53). The overall risk of bias was judged to be low. Effect of ARBs on blood pressure changes Conclusion Treatment with ARBs effectively and sustainably lowered BP and proteinuria with no significant change in eGFR in patients with hypertension and CKD with or without diabetes.
