Background: Real-world evidence about mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist (MRA) use has been limited in chronic kidney disease, particularly regarding its association with hard renal outcomes. Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, adult chronic kidney disease outpatients referred to the department of nephrology at an academic hospital between January 2005 and December 2018 were analyzed. The main inclusion criteria were estimated glomerular filtration rate ≥10 and <60 mL/min per 1.73 m 2 and follow-up ≥90 days. The exposure of interest was MRA use, defined as the administration of spironolactone, eplerenone, or potassium canrenoate. The primary outcome was renal replacement therapy initiation, defined as the initiation of chronic hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, or kidney transplantation. A marginal structural model using inverse probability of weighting was applied to account for potential time-varying confounders. Results: Among a total of 3195 patients, the median age and estimated glomerular filtration rate at baseline were 66 years and 38.4 mL/min per 1.73 m 2 , respectively. During follow-up (median, 5.9 years), 770 patients received MRAs, 211 died, and 478 started renal replacement therapy. In an inverse probability of weighting-weighted pooled logistic regression model, MRA use was significantly associated with a 28%-lower rate of renal replacement therapy initiation (hazard ratio, 0.72 [95% CI, 0.53–0.98]). The association between MRA use and renal replacement therapy initiation was dose-dependent ( P for trend <0.01) and consistent across patient subgroups. The incidence of hyperkalemia (>5.5 mEq/L) was somewhat higher in MRA users but not significant (hazard ratio, 1.14 [95% CI, 0.88–1.48]). Conclusions: MRA users showed a better renal prognosis across various chronic kidney disease subgroups in a real-world chronic kidney disease population.

This chapter describes the anaesthetic management of the patient with renal disease. The topics include estimation of renal function, chronic kidney disease, renal replacement therapy (including haemodialysis), acute renal failure, and the patient with a transplanted kidney. For each topic, preoperative investigation and optimization, treatment, and anaesthetic management are described. The effects of impaired renal function on the elimination of anaesthetic drugs are discussed.

Star fruit toxicity has been hugely described in patients with chronic kidney disease, either on conservative or renal replacement therapy. This is a case report of a man, without prior kidney or neurological dysfunction, who appeared to develop nephrotoxicity and neurotoxicity less than 12 hours after drinking concentrated star fruit juice (approximately 20 units of the fruit). He received timely renal replacement therapy and renal function fully recovered after discharge.

Three major goals need to be addressed in the treatment of patients with chronic kidney disease: (1) progression of renal function loss needs to be inhibited by treatment of risk factors, (2) co-morbidities and vascular risk factors have to be treated, and (3) the patient must be educated about and prepared for renal replacement therapy. During the progressive loss of renal function, the treatment necessities and medication doses need to be adjusted. Therefore, the treatment of heart disease differs between patients with normal and decreased renal function.
