AbstractAs people age, chronic kidney disease becomes more common, but it rarely leads to end-stage kidney disease. When it does, the choice between dialysis and conservative care can be daunting, as much depends on life expectancy and personal expectations of medical care. Shared decision making implies adequately informing patients about their options, and facilitating deliberation of the available information, such that decisions are tailored to the individual’s values and preferences. Accurate estimations of one’s risk of progression to end-stage kidney disease and death with or without dialysis are essential for shared decision making to be effective. Formal risk prediction models can help, provided they are externally validated, well-calibrated and discriminative; include unambiguous and measureable variables; and come with readily applicable equations or scores. Reliable, externally validated risk prediction models for progression of chronic kidney disease to end-stage kidney disease or mortality in frail elderly with or without chronic kidney disease are scant. Within this paper, we discuss a number of promising models, highlighting both the strengths and limitations physicians should understand for using them judiciously, and emphasize the need for external validation over new development for further advancing the field.

We report herein an adult case of chronic kidney disease (CKD) associated with diabetes. The patient had been treated with insulin injection for diabetes 10 years ago. At the time of his first visit to our division for further examinations, we diagnosed him as CKD: cause (C) diabetes; glomerular filtration rate (GFR) (G) G5 (estimated [e] GFR, 10.2 mL/min/1.73 m2; serum creatinine of 4.90 mg/dL); and albuminuria (A) A3 (2.62 g/gCr) by the Japanese Society of Nephrology (JSN) CGA classification. Because he had complained of severe constipation and kidney function, i.e., eGFR was not improved by previous medications, we added on a minimal dosage (2 g/day) of AST-120 (Kremezin®; ordinary dose 6 g/day). After 3 months of AST-120 therapy, eGFR was increased to 17.8 mL/min/1.73 m2 (serum creatinine of 2.90–2.72 mg/dL). Although the patient used some laxative products, he could not continue to take Kremezin and completely stopped 8 months after starting this drug. Kidney function then abruptly declined and progressed to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). In June 2017, he was introduced to hemodialysis. It appears that the adherence of Kremezin is very important for inhibiting the progression to ESKD for patients with CKD with diabetes.

Increased serum myoglobin levels were previously found in patients with chronic renal failure. In this report we have studied the effects of dialysis on myoglobin elimination in patients on CARD, IPD, cuprophan and polyacrylonitrile (PAN) membrane hemodialysis. Peritoneal dialysis removed a significant amount of myoglobin, CAPD 480 ± 65 μg/day, IPD 270 ± 25 μg/12 h treatment, while with cuprophan dialysis none, and with PAN dialysis only an insignificant amount of myoglobin. The serum myoglobin levels were 250 ± 18 and 264 ± 14 μg/l on cuprophan and a 3 month dialysis on PAN membrane, respectively. Markedly increased serum levels were also found in CAPD and IPD patients on peritoneal dialysis, 227 ± 25 and 286 ± 32 μg/l respectively. This study has shown that there is an increased serum myoglobin concentration in end-stage kidney disease patients on dialysis. Although peritoneal membrane is permeable to myoglobin, a relatively small amount is removed, and the serum level in CAPD and IPD patients was not significantly different from the serum myoglobin concentration in hemodialysis patients. Furthermore myoglobin could not be removed by hemodialysis membrane and an analysis of its important extrarenal catabolism level points were analyzed.

In this report, we describe the case of an end-stage kidney disease patient with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). A 33-year-old female with TOF was admitted to our hospital with complaints of general fatigue and appetite loss probably due to uremic milieu. She was ultimately treated with peritoneal dialysis (PD) with a favorable clinical course. TOF patients with chronic kidney disease are not exceptional, although the currently available information regarding the association between TOF and renal failure severe enough to require dialysis treatment is limited. We also discuss the complex processes of how and why PD was selected as a mode of chronic renal replacement therapy in this case.
