Anemia is common in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and may be affected by trace element concentrations. While the concentrations of trace elements are known to be altered in CKD, the relationship between trace element and hemoglobin concentrations has not been systematically investigated in a large cohort. This study aims to examine associations between trace element concentrations and anemia in patients with CKD. Data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey collected from 2011 to 2014 were used for this analysis. The participants who were more than 20 years old were included. A total of 3057 participants were included; the final cohort was divided into two groups based on CKD status. The concentrations of hemoglobin, iron, zinc, and manganese were significantly lower in participants with than without CKD (all p<0.05). Multivariate analyses showed that in patients without CKD, hemoglobin concentrations correlated positively with iron, zinc, and cadmium (β=0.005, 0.009, and 0.33, respectively), but correlated negatively with copper levels (β=−0.002). In patients with CKD, hemoglobin concentrations correlated positively with cadmium and selenium, but negatively with copper levels (β=0.57, 0.007, and −0.008, respectively). The serum iron concentration was found to correlate positively with zinc, cadmium, and selenium, but negatively with copper and manganese concentrations in the total study population (all p<0.05). The associations between serum concentrations of trace elements and hemoglobin differ between patients with and without CKD. Further investigations are warranted to determine whether patients with CKD have distinct trace element requirements.

Background: Several environmental studies have reported that low-level exposure to nephrotoxic elements increases the risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD). In developing countries, finite resources can limit epidemiological studies and environmental risk assessment; however, the unique soil profile in Jamaica has raised some concerns for the potential exposure to populations who are of high risk. Method: This study investigated the potential for using trace element profiling in CKD, by analysing blood concentration levels of vanadium, chromium, iron, cobalt, copper, zinc, selenium, strontium (Sr), arsenic, barium, cadmium, mercury, and lead. Trace element analysis was conducted using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Results: One hundred and fifty-eight individuals were included and were predominantly of African descent (98%) and their ages ranged from 21 to 90 years old. Three main correlation clusters were evident: firstly, vanadium, chromium, copper, silicon, and selenium, with mercury and barium more distantly related; secondly, lead, arsenic, nickel, and Sr; and thirdly, iron and zinc. Cadmium was an outlier. Blood Sr was strongly associated with estimated glomerular filtration rate (r = -0.83; p<0.001) and strong linear progression models (r2=0.96; p<0.001). Algorithmic models placed Sr as the highest-ranking trace element biomarker (area under the curve: 95.6%; p<0.001). Discussion: The decline in kidney function may result in the retention of non-essential trace elements. Strong corresponding trends between kidney function and blood Sr concentration indicate biomarker potential for a trace element with a unique profile in patients with CKD. Other significant relationships may also be unveiled as CKD biomarkers as trace element profiling is explored in the region.

In Infants And Children

The effectiveness of amplification for infants and children can be mediated by how much the child uses the device. Existing research suggests that establishing hearing aid use can be challenging. A wide range of factors can influence hearing aid use in children, including the child's age, degree of hearing loss, and socioeconomic status. Audiological interventions, including using validated prescriptive approaches and verification, performing on-going training and orientation, and communicating with caregivers about hearing aid use can also increase hearing aid use by infants and children. Case examples are used to highlight the factors that influence hearing aid use. Potential management strategies and future research needs are also discussed.
