Intermittent peritoneal dialysis (IPD) in diabetics has varied outcomes. Sixteen patients with end-stage renal disease and diabetes were treated with IPD during the last four years at St. Joseph's Hospital. Patients received subcutaneous insulin besides small amounts intraperitoneally on the days of dialysis. One-year patient survival was 48%. Blood pressure, serum potassium, fluid and blood sugar control was poor compared to CAPD. However, for patients who can not be placed on CAPD, IPD still has its role. For this reason we should continue our efforts to improve the effectiveness of this mode of peritoneal dialysis.

Twenty diabetics with end-stage renal disease who had never previously received dialysis treatment were treated with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis for periods of two to 36 months (average, 14.5). Intraperitoneal administration of insulin achieved good control of blood sugar Even though creatinine clearance decreased significantly (P = 0.001), contro of blood urea nitrogen and serum creatinine was adequate. Hemoglobin and serum albumin levels increased significantly (P = 0.005 and 0.04 respectively). Similarly, there was a significant increase in serum triglycerides and alkaline phosphatase (P = 0.02 and 0.05). Blood pressure became normal without medications in all but one of the patients. Retinopathy, neuropathy, and osteodystrophy remained unchanged. Peritonitis developed once in every 20.6 patient-months a rate similar to that observed in nondiabetics. The calculated survival rate was 92 per cent at one year; the calculated rate of continuation on ambulatory peritoneal dialysis was 87 per cent.

BackgroundA significant proportion of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) associated glomerulonephritis eventually progresses to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) thus requiring long-term dialysis. There is no consensus about which dialysis modality is more recommended for those patients with associated vasculitis (AAV-ESRD). The primary objective of this study was to compare patient survival in patients with AAV-ESRD treated with hemodialysis (HD) or peritoneal dialysis (PD).MethodsThis double-center retrospective cohort study included dialysis-dependent patients who were treated with HD or PD. Clinical data were collected under standard format. The Birmingham vasculitis activity score (BVAS) was used to evaluate disease activity at diagnosis and organ damage was assessed using the vasculitis damage index (VDI) at dialysis initiation.ResultsIn total, 85 patients were included: 64 with hemodialysis and 21 with peritoneal dialysis. The patients with AAV-PD were much younger than the AAV-HD patients (48 vs. 62, P < 0.01) and more were female (76.2 vs. 51.6%, P = 0.05). The laboratory data were almost similar. The comorbidities, VDI score, and immuno-suppressive therapy at dialysis initiation were almost no statistical difference. Patient survival rates between HD and PD at 1 year were 65.3 vs. 90% (P = 0.062), 3 year were 59.6 vs. 90% (P < 0.001), and 5 years were 59.6 vs. 67.5% (P = 0.569). The overall survival was no significant difference between the two groups (P = 0.086) and the dialysis modality (HD or PD) was not shown to be an independent predictor for all-cause death (hazard ratio (HR) 0.73; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.31–1.7; P = 0.473). Cardio-cerebrovascular events were the main cause of death among AAV-HD patients while infection in patients with AAV-PD.ConclusionThese results provide real-world data that the use of either hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis modality does not affect patient survival for patients with AAV-ESRD who need long-term dialysis.

Background/Aims: Few published data describe survival rates for pediatric end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. We aimed to describe one-year mortality rates for US pediatric ESRD patients over a 15-year period. Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, we used the US Renal Data System database to identify period-prevalent cohorts of patients aged younger than 19 for each year during the period 1995-2010. Yearly cohorts averaged approximately 1,200 maintenance dialysis patients (60% hemodialysis, 40% peritoneal dialysis) and 1,100 transplant recipients. Patients were followed for up to 1 year and censored at change in modality, loss to follow-up, or death. We calculated the unadjusted model-based mortality rates per time at risk, within each cohort year, by treatment modality (hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, transplant) and patient characteristics; percentage of deaths by cause; and overall adjusted odds of mortality by characteristics and modality. Results: Approximately 50% of patients were in the age group 15-18, 55% were male, and 45% were female. The most common causes of ESRD were congenital/reflux/obstructive causes (55%) and glomerulonephritis (30%). One-year mortality rates showed evidence of a decrease in the number of peritoneal dialysis patients (6.03 per 100 patient-years, 1995; 2.43, 2010; p = 0.0263). Mortality rates for transplant recipients (average 0.68 per 100 patient-years) were consistently lower than the rates for all dialysis patients (average 4.36 per 100 patient-years). Conclusions: One-year mortality rates differ by treatment modality in pediatric ESRD patients.

Abstract Background and Aims Recently, variability in blood pressure (BP) has been recognized as a risk factor for mortality and cardiovascular events in the general population. However, most studies included patients with normal or near normal kidney function. Aim To study the association between BP variability and the risk of all-cause mortality in patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD) treatment. Method From 2008 until the end of 2017, 2329 patients with ESRD and at least three months of PD (mean age: 63.8 years, men: 67.5%) were followed for 16 months in median (interquartile range: 11-28 months). Data were extracted from the Swedish Renal Register (SNR). The coefficient variation (CV = the ratio of the standard deviation (SD) to the mean value) was defined as BP variability in terms of systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and mean arterial pressure (MAP) [SBP(SD)/SBP(mean), DBP(SD)/ DBP(mean), and MAP(SD)/MAP(mean), respectively]. The relationships between BP variability and mortality were examined by time-dependent Cox models to estimate hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) in univariate and multivariate analyses, with adjustment for demographics, laboratory findings and comorbidity. Results During the follow-up period, 1054 (45%) deaths occurred. The mean level of BP variability was CV=0.10± 0.1. The highest rate of mortality was observed in the patients with the highest variability in SBP (CV>0.25; 64% of those patients died). In the multivariate model, for each of the BP variables, we compared the risk of mortality in the lowest variability group (CV≤ 0.05) with that in the CV=0.10-0.15 group (reference): SBP: (HR 1.74, 95% CI 1.44- 2.09; p<0.001); DBP: (HR 1.91, 95% CI 1.59- 2.23; p<0.001); and MAP: (HR 1.73, 95% CI 1.44- 2.06; p<0.001). Thus, for all BP variables, the lowest variability was associated with increased mortality risk. We then compared the highest variability group (CV>0.25) with the CV=0.10-0.15 group (reference): SBP: (HR 1.60, 95% CI 1.14- 2.25; p<0.001); DPB: (HR 1.74, 95% CI 1.44- 2.09; p<0.001); and MAP: (HR 1.98, 95% CI 1.21- 3.27; p<0.001). Thus, for all BP variables, the highest variability was related to increased mortality risk. Conclusion In this study, the association between BP variability and the risk of mortality was U-shaped in patients with ESRD and PD. Thus, both very low and high levels of BP variability were related to higher risk of mortality. Mild BP variability was associated with the lowest risk of mortality, which could suggest that, non-intensive and long duration of ultrafiltration (UF) with PD was probably beneficial in terms of survival

Abstract Objectives To compare membranous lupus nephritis (MLN) and proliferative lupus nephritis (PLN) with respect to survival, demographic, clinical and laboratory characteristics; and to investigate predictors of renal and patient survival. Methods Single-centre retrospective observational study. Patients with biopsy-proven PLN, MLN and mixed lupus nephritis were included. Groups were compared using appropriate statistical tests and survival was analysed through the Kaplan-Meier method. Cox regression analysis was performed to investigate predictors of renal and patient survival. Results A total of 187 patients with biopsy-proven lupus nephritis (135 with PLN, 38 with MLN and 14 with mixed LN) were followed for up to 42 years (median 12 years). There was a higher proportion of MLN amongst Afro-Caribbeans than amongst Caucasians (31% vs 15%, P = 0.010). Patients with MLN had significantly lower anti-dsDNA antibodies (P = 0.001) and higher C3 levels (P = 0.018) at diagnosis. Cumulative renal survival rates at 5, 10, 15 and 20 years were 91, 81, 75 and 66% for PLN and 100, 97, 92 and 84% for MLN, respectively (P = 0.028). Cumulative patient survival at 5, 10, 15 and 20 years was 94, 86, 80 and 76%, with no difference between PLN and MLN. Urinary protein-creatinine ratio above 42 mg/mmol and eGFR below 76 ml/min/1.73 m2, one year after the diagnosis of LN, were the strongest predictors of progression to end-stage renal disease. eGFR below 77 ml/min/1.73 m2, at one year, development of end-stage renal disease and Afro-Caribbean ethnicity were associated with higher mortality. Conclusion Patients with MLN and PLN differ significantly regarding serological profiles and renal survival, suggesting different pathogenesis. Renal function at year one predicts renal and patient survival.

Aims: This study aimed to compare the short-term complications and long-term prognosis between urgent-start peritoneal dialysis (PD) and hemodialysis (HD), and explore the safety and feasibility of PD in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients with diabetes. Methods: This retrospective study enrolled ESRD patients with diabetes who required urgent-start dialysis at a single center from January 2011 to December 2014. Short-term (30-day) dialysis-related complications and patient survival trends were compared between patients receiving PD and HD. Results: Eighty patients were included in the study, including 50 (62.5%) who underwent PD. The incidence of dialysis-related complications and complications requiring reinsertion during the first 30 days was significantly lower in PD patients. Logistic regression identified urgent-start HD as an independent risk factor for dialysis-related complications compared with urgent-start PD. The patient survival rate was higher in the PD compared to that in the HD group. Conclusions: PD may be acceptable, safe, and feasible for urgent-start dialysis in ESRD patients with diabetes.

ABSTRACTWe report a patient with end-stage renal disease on peritoneal dialysis, who developed encephalopathy after receiving a few doses of cefepime. He recovered clinically and electroencephalographically after having discontinued the culprit agent and undergone hemodialysis. This case highlights the importance of promptly recognizing this reversible encephalopathy, which can lead to the avoidance of unnecessary workup, reduce the length of hospital stay, and thereby improve the patients’ outcome.
