Abstract Background and Aims Serum phosphorus is an important factor associated with mortality and cardiovascular disease in dialysis patients as well as in non-dialysis patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and healthy individuals. One observational study reported that elevated phosphorus is a risk factor for end-stage renal disease and is linked to reduced renal function, even within the normal range. Although the mechanism is unknown, an excessive load of phosphorus to the kidney is presumed to cause renal damage via phosphorus-containing nanoparticles. In this study, we examined the association between phosphorus excretion per nephron and the prognosis of CKD. Method A single-center, retrospective cohort study was conducted in 276 patients with CKD category G3 to G5 who were admitted to our hospital and received an inpatient educational program on CKD between June 2016 and November 2019 and who could be followed up for at least 1 year or started on dialysis within 1 year after hospitalization. Phosphorus excretion per nephron was defined as daily phosphorus excretion divided by creatinine clearance (Ccr), and its association with the annual rate of decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was investigated for each CKD category. For statistical analysis, multiple regression analysis was performed using the following covariates: age, sex, presence/absence of diabetes mellitus, mean arterial blood pressure, amount of daily urine protein, serum phosphorus level, and use of a renin-angiotensin system inhibitor. Results There were 108 patients with CKD G3, 106 patients with CKD G4, and 62 patients with CKD G5. Daily phosphorus excretion was 442 mg in G3, 350 mg in G4, and 350 mg in G5 patients. Phosphorus excretion per nephron was 8.4 mg/Ccr in G3, 14.0 mg/Ccr in G4, and 24.2 mg/Ccr in G5 patients. It increased with the progression of renal damage. In G4 patients, phosphorus excretion per nephron was significantly negatively correlated with the rate of decline in eGFR (p = 0.004); however, no correlation was found between the two in G3 and G5 patients (p = 0.09 and p = 0.16, respectively). Multiple regression analysis showed that phosphorus excretion per nephron was not a significant worsening factor for renal function in G3, G4, and G5 patients (p = 0.09, p = 0.36, and p = 0.41, respectively). On the other hand, serum phosphorus level was a significant worsening factor for renal function in G3 and G5 patients (p = 0.03 and p = 0.01, respectively). Conclusion No association was found between phosphorus excretion per nephron and the rate of the subsequent decline in renal function.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the correlation between renal function and subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFChT) in treatment-naïve proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) patients. This study included 85 eyes of 52 treatment-naïve PDR patients who underwent kidney function testing and urinalysis and 42 eyes of 33 age-matched controls. Treatment-naïve eyes with PDR were categorized into pachychoroid and leptochoroid groups based on the SFChT of the control group. Kidney function profiles were compared between pachychoroid and leptochoroid groups; the relationship between kidney function profile and SFChT was evaluated using regression analysis. Compared with the pachychoroid group, the leptochoroid group had significantly higher serum creatinine (p = 0.026), cystatin C (p = 0.004), and phosphorus (p < 0.001) levels and a lower estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) (p < 0.001). Multivariate linear regression analyses showed that SFChT was positively correlated with eGFR (Cystatin C) (p = 0.007) and negatively correlated with serum phosphorus (p = 0.001). SFChT of patients with eGFR < 30 mL/min/1.73 m2 and serum phosphorus level ≥4.0 mg/dL was less than that of patients with higher eGFR and lower serum phosphorus level. The choroidal thickness of treatment-naïve PDR patients is closely affected by renal function. Kidney function test should be considered if SFChT of patients with treatment-naïve PDR is reduced.

It has been clarified in patients with CKD stage 3-4, cinacalcet can reduce PTH levels without severe adverse events, however calcium levels significantly decrease and phosphorus levels increase. Increase of serum phosphorus level by cinacalcet in patients with CKD stage 3-4 is a problematic issue. Undesirable decreases in serum calcium and increases in serum phosphorus caused by cinacalcet require further investigation. For patients with CKD stage 3-4 who suffer from severely advanced 2HPT which cannot be controlled by the usual medical treatment or PTx, cinacalcet can be a useful medication for managing 2HPT.

Abstract Background In dialysis patients statins are less effective than in other high risk patients due to a shift from cholesterol synthesis towards cholesterol absorption. The CARE FOR HOMe study investigates whether a shift towards cholesterol absorption occurs in non-dialysis chronic kidney disease (CKD), and whether the ratio of campesterol-to-lathosterol predicts cardiovascular outcomes in non-dialysis CKD patients. Methods In this analysis 251 participants suffering from CKD (KDIGO 2–4) without lipid-lowering drugs were included and followed for major atherosclerotic events (MACE). Additionally, all-cause death and the composite endpoint MACE and all-cause death were explored. We performed univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis, adjusting for age, gender, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), log-transformed albuminuria, prevalent cardiovascular disease, current smoking, diabetes mellitus, systolic blood pressure and body mass index. The primary hypothesis was that patients with a high campesterol-to-lathosterol ratio had a higher event rate. Results Neither lathosterol-to-cholesterol (r=0.022; p=0.730), nor campesterol-to-cholesterol (r=0.041; p=0.519) nor campesterol-to-lathosterol (r=−0.103; p=0.105) correlated with eGFR. During follow-up of 5.1±2.1 years, 47 participants suffered from MACE, 46 participants died and 61 reached the composite endpoint of MACE or all-cause death. In univariate Cox regression analysis, campesterol-to-lathosterol did not predict atherosclerotic cardiovascular events (HR 0.740; 0.368–1.487), all-cause death (HR 0.564; 0.277–1.145) or the composite endpoint (HR 0.652; 0.355–1.196). After full adjustment: campesterol-to-lathosterol was not associated with all three endpoints; MACE (HR 1.064; 0.507–2.231), all-cause death (HR 0.818; 0.420–1.594) and MACE and all-cause death (HR 0.956; 0.525–1.744). Conclusion Markers of cholesterol metabolism were not associated with eGFR in patients with impaired renal function (KDIGO 2–4). Campesterol-to-lathosterol did not predict future MACE or all-cause death in non-dialysis CKD. These findings do not support the concept that patients with impaired renal function (KDIGO 2–4) benefit in particular from ezetimibe treatment. Further research is required to address this hypothesis in dialysis patients. Funding Acknowledgement Type of funding source: None

Abstract Background and Aims Phosphate binders (PB) are usually prescribed to dialysis patients with hyperphosphatemia. Several studies have reported that higher PB pill burden may reduce adherence and lead to insufficient phosphorus control. Tenapanor is an investigational, minimally absorbed, orally administered, non-binder, small-molecule that inhibits the sodium/hydrogen exchanger isoform 3 (NHE3) in development for the control of serum phosphorus. A previous Ph3 study sponsored by Ardelyx, Inc. (NCT02675998) showed a significant phosphorus decrease compared to the placebo in patients with hyperphosphatemia undergoing hemodialysis (HD) in the US. Tenapanor was expected to reduce PB pill burden since it is administered as one small pill, taken twice a day. This was the first study in Japanese HD patients, which aimed to confirm whether tenapanor reduces the pill burden of PB. Method This was a multicenter, open-label, single-arm Ph2 study. The study consists of a screening period, a 3-week observation period, and a 26-week treatment period. Patients whose serum phosphorus level was ≥ 3.5 and ≤ 7.0 mg/dL, taking at least two PB pills three times a day were enrolled. The patients started to receive 30 mg of tenapanor twice daily. The tenapanor dose could be reduced in a step-wise manner (60, 40, 20 and 10 mg/day) at the investigator’s discretion, based on GI tolerability. PB treatment was continued according to individual regimens, however, the dose could be adjusted appropriately to maintain serum phosphorus level within ±0.5 mg/dL from the baseline. The primary endpoint was an achievement of at least a 30% decrease in the mean of the total number of PB and tenapanor pills compared to the number of PB pills at baseline. The proportion of patients who achieved at least a 30 % decrease were tested using binomial test with a threshold level of 20% and a one-sided significance level of 0.025. The analysis was conducted using the data as of Dec25, 2019. Results The primary endpoint was met. Of 67 enrolled patients at the timing of analysis, 48 patients (71.6%, [95% CI: 59.3% - 82.0%], p&lt;0.001) achieved a 30% decrease in the total number of PB and tenapanor pills, and of those, 35 patients (52.2%, [95% CI: 39.7% - 64.6%]) achieved a 50% decrease and 18 patients (26.9%) no longer required the use of any PB at week 26. Mean phosphorus levels were maintained during the study from 5.2 mg/dL at the baseline to 4.7 mg/dL at week 26. The most frequent adverse event was diarrhea (76.1%), which was mostly mild to moderate. Only four patients discontinued the study due to diarrhea. Serious adverse events were reported in five patients, only two of which were related to tenapanor (diarrhea and acute myocardial infarction). Conclusion Tenapanor was able to provide phosphorus control with significantly fewer pills compared to PB. AE profile was similar to previous US studies. This result suggests that tenapanor, a non-binder, phosphate absorption inhibitor that provides a novel approach to the management of hyperphosphatemia, could potentially improve drug adherence by reducing PB pill burden while maintaining effective phosphorus control.
