Abstract Background Iron deficiency (ID) is common in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Intravenous (IV) iron in heart failure leads to improvement in exercise capacity and improvement in quality of life measurements; however, data in patients with CKD are lacking.Methods The Iron and the Heart Study was a prospective double blinded randomized study in non-anemic CKD stages 3b-5 patients with ID which investigated whether 1000 mg of IV iron (ferric derisomaltose (FDI) ) could improve exercise capacity in comparison to placebo measured at 1 and 3 months post infusion. Secondary objectives included effects on hematinic profiles and hemoglobin, safety analysis and quality of life questionnaires (QoL).Results We randomly assigned 54 patients mean (SD) age for FDI (n=26) 61.6 (10.1) years vs placebo (n=28; 57.8 (12.9) years) and mean eGFR (32.1 (9.6) vs. 29.1 (9.6) ml/min/1.73m2) at baseline, respectively. Adjusting for baseline measurements, six-minute walk test (6MWT) showed no statistically significant difference between arms at 1 month (p=0.736), or 3 months (p=0.741). There were non-significant increases in 6MWT from baseline to 1 and 3 months in the FDI arm. Hemoglobin (Hb) at 1 and 3 months remained stable. There were statistically significant increases in ferritin (SF) and transferrin saturation (TSAT) at 1 and 3 months (p<0.001). There was a modest numerical improvement in QoL parameters. There were no adverse events attributable to IV iron. Conclusion This study demonstrated a short-term beneficial effect of FDI on exercise capacity, but it was not significant despite improvements in parameters of iron status, maintenance of Hb concentration, and numerical increases in functional capacity and quality of life scores. A larger study will be required to confirm if intravenous iron is beneficial in iron deficient non-anemic non-dialysis CKD patients without heart failure to improve the 6MWT.Trial Registration: European Clinical Trials Database (EudraCT) No: 2014-004133-16https://www.clinicaltrialsregister.eu/ctr-search/trial/2014-004133-16/GBREC no: 14/YH/1209Date First Registered: 2015-02-17 and date of end of trail 2015-05-23Sponsor ref R1766 and Protocol No: IHI 141

Abstract Background Iron deficiency (ID) is common in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Intravenous (IV) iron in heart failure leads to improvement in exercise capacity and improvement in quality-of-life measurements; however, data in patients with CKD are lacking. Methods The Iron and the Heart Study was a prospective double blinded randomised study in non-anaemic CKD stages 3b-5 patients with ID which investigated whether 1000 mg of IV iron (ferric derisomaltose (FDI)) could improve exercise capacity in comparison to placebo measured at 1 and 3 months post infusion. Secondary objectives included effects on haematinic profiles and haemoglobin, safety analysis and quality of life questionnaires (QoL). Results We randomly assigned 54 patients mean (SD) age for FDI (n = 26) 61.6 (10.1) years vs placebo (n = 28; 57.8 (12.9) years) and mean eGFR (33.2 (9.3) vs. 29.1 (9.6) ml/min/1.73m2) at baseline, respectively. Adjusting for baseline measurements, six-minute walk test (6MWT) showed no statistically significant difference between arms at 1 month (p = 0.736), or 3 months (p = 0.741). There were non-significant increases in 6MWT from baseline to 1 and 3 months in the FDI arm. Haemoglobin (Hb) at 1 and 3 months remained stable.

Background: The feasibility and benefits of lifestyle intervention in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients who are obese has not been well studied. We examined the early effects of an exercise plus weight loss intervention on body composition, exercise capacity, metabolic parameters and kidney function in obese subjects with CKD. Methods: Nine subjects (median age 57 years, body mass index (BMI) 43.9) underwent a lifestyle intervention program that included supervised aerobic exercise (i.e. ∼85% maximum heart rate) and dietary counseling (500 kcal reduction in daily caloric intake). Body composition (iDXA), exercise capacity (maximal oxygen consumption), quality of life, insulin resistance (Matsuda index), inflammation (high sensitivity C-reactive protein), adipokines (leptin and total adiponectin) and kidney function (iothalamate glomerular filtration rate) were measured at baseline and after 12 weeks of the intervention. Changes in parameters were compared using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Results: After 12 weeks of intervention, there was a significant decrease in BMI and fat mass (median -4.9 kg (25th-75th percentile -5.9 to -3.0)). There was a significant increase in exercise capacity (3.7 ml/kg/min (3.0-4.7)), along with improvements in insulin sensitivity (0.55 (0.43-1.2)), total adiponectin (780.9 μg/ml (262.1-1,497.1)) and leptin (-5.1 ng/ml (-14.5 to -3.3)). There were improvements in biomarkers of kidney disease very quality of life measures, but kidney function remained unchanged. Conclusion: Lifestyle modification is feasible in obese patients with CKD and produces weight loss that is related to improvements in exercise capacity, insulin resistance and adipokines. Whether lifestyle-induced weight loss and fitness can be sustained and whether it will mediate improvements in kidney function over time merits further investigation.

Abstract Background Anemia is one of the common complications in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, there is no systematic investigation on the prevalence of anemia in CKD patients and its relationship with the quality of life in China. Methods The data for this study comes from baseline data from the Chinese Chronic Kidney Disease Cohort Study (C-STRIDE), which recruited predialysis CKD patients in China. The kidney disease quality of life summary (KDQOL-TM) was used to assess health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Use linear regression model to estimate the relationship between hemoglobin level and quality of life. Results A total of 2921 patients were included in this study. The adjusted prevalence of hemoglobin (Hb) less than 100 g/L was 10.3% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 9.9,11.4%), and showed an increased trend through reduced eGFR levels from 4.0% (95%CI:2.3,5.9%) in the 45-60 ml/min/1.73m2 group to 23.4% (95%CI:20.5,26.2%) in the 15–29 ml/min/1.73m2 group. The prevalence of anti-anemia treatment was 34.0% (95%CI: 28.7,39.3%) and it is shown by reducing eGFR levels from 15.8% (95%CI:0,36.7%) in the 45-60 ml/min/1.73m2 group to 38.2% (95%CI: 30.7,45.2%) in the 15–29 ml/min/1.73m2 group. All five dimensions of the KDQOL scores in patients with CKD decreased as hemoglobin declined. After multivariable adjustments,the degrees of decrease became somewhat blunted. For example, compared with hemoglobin of ≥130 g/L, regression coefficients in the hemoglobin of < 100 g/L were − 0.047(95%CI: − 0.049,-0.045) for Symptoms and Problems(S), − 0.047(95%CI: − 0.049,-0.044) for Effects of the Kidney Disease(E), − 0.207(95%CI: − 0.212,-0.203) for Burden of the Kidney Disease(B), − 0.112(95%CI: − 0.115,-0.109) for SF-12 Physical Functioning (PCS), − 0.295(95%CI: − 0.299, -0.292) for SF-12 Mental Functioning (MCS), respectively. Conclusions In our cross-sectional analysis of patients with CKD in China, prevalence of both anemia and anti-anemia treatment increased with decreased eGFR. In addition, anemia was associated with reduced HRQoL.
