Studies on the longitudinal temporal trend of blood pressure (BP) and its impact on kidney function are scarce. Here, we evaluated the association of dynamic changes in systolic blood pressure (SBP) over time with adverse kidney outcomes. We analyzed 1837 participants from the KNOW-CKD (Korean Cohort Study for Outcomes in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease). The main exposure was 3 distinct SBP trajectories determined by the latent class mixed model (decreasing, stable, and increasing) using 3 SBP measurements at 0, 6, and 12 months. The primary outcome was CKD progression, defined as a composite of halving estimated glomerular filtration rate from baseline value or onset of end-stage kidney disease. SBP declined from 144 to 120 mm Hg in the decreasing SBP trajectory group and rose from 114 to 136 mm Hg in the increasing trajectory group within 1 year. During 6576 person-years of follow-up (median, 3.7 years), the composite outcome occurred in 521 (28.4%) participants. There were fewer primary outcome events in the decreasing (30.6%) and stable (26.5%) SBP trajectory groups than in the increasing trajectory group (33.0%). In the multivariable-adjusted cause-specific hazards model, increasing SBP trajectory was associated with a 1.28-fold higher risk for adverse kidney outcome compared with stable SBP trajectory. However, the risk for the primary outcome did not differ between the decreasing and stable SBP trajectory groups. In this longitudinal CKD cohort study, compared with stable SBP trajectory, increasing SBP trajectory was associated with higher risk for adverse kidney outcome, whereas decreasing SBP trajectory showed similar risk.

Abstract Background The cardiovascular mortality of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) is 2–10 times higher than in the average population. Purpose To estimate the prevalence of abnormal cardiac function or structure across the stages CKD 1 to 5nonD. Method Prospective cohort study. Patients with CKD stage 1 to 5 not on dialysis, aged 30 to 75 (n=875) and age-/sex-matched controls (n=173) were enrolled consecutively. All participants underwent a health questionnaire, ECG, morphometric and blood pressure measurements. Blood and urine were analyzed. Echocardiography was performed. Left ventricle (LV) hypertrophy, dilatation, diastolic and systolic dysfunction were defined according to current ESC guidelines. Results 63% of participants were men. Mean age was 58 years (SD 12.6 years). Mean eGFR was 46.7 mL/min/1,73 m (SD 25.8) for patients and 82.3 mL/min/1,73 m (SD 13.4) for controls. The prevalence of elevated blood pressure at physical exam was 89% in patients vs. 53% in controls. Patients were more often smokers and obese. Left ventricular mass index (LVMI) was slightly, albeit insignificantly elevated at CKD stages 1 & 2 vs. in kontrols: 3.1 g/m2, CI: −0.4 to 6.75, p-value 0.08. There was no significant difference in LV-dilatation between patients and controls. Decreasing diastolic and systolic function was observed at CKD stage 3a and later: LVEF decreased 0.95% (CI: −1.5 to −0.2), GLS increased 0.5 (CI: 0.3 to 0.8), and OR for diastolic dysfunction increased 3.2 (CI 1.4 to 7.3) pr. increment CKD stage group. Conclusion In accordance to previous studies, we observe in the CPHCKD cohort study signs of early increase of LVMI in patients with CKD stage 1 & 2. Significant decline in systolic and diastolic cardiac function is apparent already at stage 3 CKD. Figure 1.

AbstractBACKGROUNDCentral arteriovenous fistula (cAVF) has been investigated as a therapeutic measure for treatment-resistant hypertension in patients without advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD). There is considerable experience with the use of AVF for hemodialysis in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). However, there is sparse data on the blood pressure (BP) effects of an AVF among patients with ESRD. We hypothesized that AVF creation would significantly reduce BP compared with patients who did not have an AVF among patients with ESRD before starting hemodialysis.METHODSBPs were compared during the 12 months before hemodialysis initiation in 399 patients with an AVF or AV graft created and 4,696 patients without either.RESULTSAfter propensity score matching 1:2 ratio (AVF to no AVF), repeated measures analysis of variance revealed significant reductions of –1.7 mm Hg systolic and –3.9 mm Hg diastolic BP 12 months in patients after AVF creation; P = 0.025 and P < 0.001, respectively, compared with those with no AVF.CONCLUSIONSThese findings suggest that AVF creation results in modest BP reduction in patients with pre-dialysis ESRD who require AVF for eventual hemodialysis therapy. Preferential diastolic BP reduction suggests that greater work is needed to characterize the ideal patient subset in which to use cAVF for treatment-resistant hypertension in those without advanced CKD.
