Abstract Background Secondary hyperparathyroidism is a common complication of end-stage renal disease (ESRD), which may be associated with cardiovascular diseases. Thus, this study aimed to explore myocardial damage using non-contrast cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) in ESRD patients undergoing hemodialysis and further investigate its relationship with parathyroid hormone (PTH) toxicity. Methods Seventy-two adult ESRD patients receiving regular hemodialysis and 30 healthy subjects underwent CMR examination. Continuous CMR cine sections from the mitral valve level to the left ventricular (LV) apex in the short-axis plane, cine series of vertical two-chamber long-axis plane, and horizontal four-chamber plane were acquired. Native T1 mapping was obtained using modified Look-Locker inversion recovery (MOLLI) sequences. Native T1 values and myocardial strain were analyzed.  Immunoreactive parathyroid hormone (iPTH) was obtained from all enrolled patients. Results Forty (55.6%) hemodialysis ESRD patients were found to have increased iPTH levels. LV ejection fraction (LVEF) of both ESRD patients with targeted and increased iPTH levels was decreased compared with healthy subjects (55.9 ± 12.0% vs. 65.0 ± 4.5%; 51.7 ± 12.8 vs. 65.0 ± 4.5%, both P < 0.05). The mean peak radial strain (PRS), peak circumferential strain (PCS), and peak longitudinal strain (PLS) were lowest in ESRD patients with increased iPTH; however, no significant difference was observed among these three groups. Segmentally, from base to apex, the native T1 of ESRD patients with increased iPTH levels tended to be higher than those with targeted iPTH and healthy subjects (all P < 0.05). In ESRD patients with targeted iPTH, both native T1 of basal and middle segments were significantly higher than normal subjects (basal, 1304 ± 41 ms vs. 1238 ± 36 ms, P = 0.001; middle, 1300 ± 43 ms vs. 1242 ± 50 ms, P < 0.001). Comparing global native T1 values in the three groups, ESRD patients with targeted and increased iPTH level showed increased native T1 (1305 ± 41 ms vs. 1251 ± 49 ms, P = 0.001; 1334 ± 40 ms vs. 1251 ± 49 ms, P < 0.001, respectively). Native T1 values of the basal segment and global native T1 were moderately associated with iPTH (r = 0.4, P < 0.001; r = 0.5, P < 0.001). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that global native T1 values (beta = 1.0, P = 0.01) were independently associated with iPTH. Conclusions Elevated iPTH level was associated with and was an independent risk factor for myocardial damage in ESRD patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis.

Abstract Background End-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients are at high cardiovascular risk, and myocardial fibrosis (MF) accounts for most of their cardiac events. The purpose of this study is to investigate the prognostic value and risk stratification of MF as measured by extracellular volume (ECV) on cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) for heart failure (HF) in patients with hemodialysis-dependent ESRD. Methods Sixty-six hemodialysis ESRD patients and 25 matched healthy volunteers were prospectively enrolled and underwent CMR to quantify multiple parameters of MF by T1 mapping and late gadolinium enhancement (LGE). All ESRD patients were followed up for 11–30 months, and the end-point met the 2016 ESC guidelines for the definition of HF. Results Over a median follow-up of 18 months (range 11–30 months), there were 26 (39.39%) guideline-diagnosed HF patients in the entire cohort of ESRD subjects. The native T1 value was elongated, and ECV was enlarged in the HF cohort relative to the non-HF cohort and normal controls (native T1, 1360.10 ± 50.14 ms, 1319.39 ± 55.44 ms and 1276.35 ± 56.56 ms; ECV, 35.42 ± 4.42%, 31.85 ± 3.01% and 26.97 ± 1.87%; all p<0.05). In the cardiac strain analysis, ECV was significantly correlated with global radial strain (GRS) (r = − 0.501, p = 0.009), global circumferential strain (GCS) (r = 0.553, p = 0.005) and global longitudinal strain (GLS) (r = 0.507, p = 0.008) in ESRD patients with HF. Cox proportional hazard regression models revealed that ECV (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.160, 95% confidence interval: 1.022 to 1.318, p = 0.022) was the only independent predictor of HF in ESRD patients. It also had a higher diagnostic accuracy for detecting MF (area under the curve [AUC] = 0.936; 95% confidence interval: 0.864 to 0.976) than native T1 and post T1 (all p ≤ 0.002). Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed that the high-ECV group had a shorter median overall survival time than the low-ECV group (18 months vs. 20 months, log-rank p = 0.046) and that ESRD patients with high ECV were more likely to have HF. Conclusions Myocardial fibrosis quantification by ECV on CMR T1 mapping was shown to be an independent risk factor of heart failure, providing incremental prognostic value and risk stratification for cardiac events in ESRD patients.

Abstract Objective: The burden of cognitive impairment in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) undergoing peritoneal dialysis has received more attention lately. It is associated with hospitalization, mortality and reduced quality of life. We aimed to assess the topological alterations of the brain white matter structural network in ESRD and the correlation between network metrics with Montreal Cognitive Assessment scores and clinical data. Methods: The study included 25 ESRD patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT group), 25 patients without SHPT (Non-SHPT group) and 25 healthy controls (HC group) of comparable age and sex. Cognitive function was assessed using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment. The WM structural network was constructed by diffusion tensor imaging and a deterministic tractography method, and then we used graph theoretical approaches to investigate alterations in the global and regional properties of the WM networks in these participants. Results: ESRD patients showed cognitive impairment compared to HC, and the SHPT patients had lower cognitive scores than the Non-SHPT patients. The global topological organization and local efficiency of the WM network was significantly disrupted in the SHPT but not in the Non-SHPT patients compared with the HC group. Moreover, lower regional efficiency was found in the ESRD patients, mainly distributed in the frontal and parietal cortices. In addition, an association was found between iPTH, shortest path length and cognitive impairment, and the iPTH level was negatively correlated with small-worldness by two indexes, the normalized clustering coefficient and the normalized shortest path length. Conclusion: The present study indicated that the brain structural connectome in ESRD patients with high iPTH levels was disrupted in association with cognitive impairment and it is a potential connectome-based biomarker for early detection.

Moreover, lower regional efficiency was found in the ESRD patients, mainly distributed in the frontal and parietal cortices. In addition, an association was observed between intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH), shortest path length and cognitive impairment, and the iPTH level was negatively correlated with small-worldness by two indexes, the normalized clustering coefficient and the normalized shortest path length. Conclusion: The present study indicated that the brain structural connectome in ESRD patients with high iPTH levels was disrupted in association with cognitive impairment and it is a potential connectome-based biomarker for early detection.

Linear heart rate variability (HRV) indices are dependent on the mean heart rate, which has been demonstrated in different models (from sinoatrial cells to humans). The association between nonlinear HRV indices, including those provided by recurrence plot quantitative analysis (RQA), and the mean heart rate (or the mean cardiac period, also called meanNN) has been scarcely studied. For this purpose, we analyzed RQA indices of five minute-long HRV time series obtained in the supine position and during active standing from 30 healthy subjects and 29 end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients (before and after hemodialysis). In the supine position, ESRD patients showed shorter meanNN (i.e., faster heart rate) and decreased variability compared to healthy subjects. The healthy subjects responded to active standing by shortening the meanNN and decreasing HRV indices to reach similar values of ESRD patients. Bivariate correlations between all RQA indices and meanNN were significant in healthy subjects and ESRD after hemodialysis and for most RQA indices in ESRD patients before hemodialysis. Multiple linear regression analyses showed that RQA indices were also dependent on the position and the ESRD condition. Then, future studies should consider the association among RQA indices, meanNN, and these other factors for a correct interpretation of HRV.

A patient with end-stage renal disease on CAPD, and with massive iron overload is reported. This patient had evidence of myocardial and hepatic damage probably as a result of iron overload. Treatment with desferoxamine resulted in removal of iron in the peritoneal dialysate. On the basis of preliminary studies in this patient it would appear that removal of iron by peritoneal dialysis in conjunction with chelation therapy is safe and effective. This finding should have wide-ranging signficance for patients with ESRD.
