Objective: Diabetic nephropathy is a serious threat to human health, and its incidence is on the rise. End-stage diabetic nephropathy (ESDN) requires extra investigation due to its complexity and severity, as well as serious concurrent diseases. Our objective was to compare the efficacy of hemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD) in the treatment of ESDN. Methods: Clinical data of 84 patients with ESDN admitted to our hospital from June 2016 to June 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into an HD group that received hemodialysis and a PD group that received peritoneal dialysis. Their general conditions, biochemical indicators, residual renal function and incidence of complications were recorded and compared between the two groups. Results: (1) No significant difference in diastolic blood pressure, systolic blood pressure, body weight, or urine output was detected between the two groups at the beginning of dialysis (P>0.05). (2) Compared to the PD group, the HD group had significantly lower total cholesterol (TC) and triglyceride (TG) (P<0.05), and significantly higher total protein (TP) and albumin (ALB) after treatment (P<0.05). (3) The two groups also showed significant difference in residual renal function after treatment (P<0.05). (4) The HD group had significantly higher systolic pressure than the PD group after treatment (P<0.05). And more cases of infection were observed in the PD group than the HD group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Both HD and PD are used for treatment of ESDN, and can achieve similar calcium and phosphorus control. Compared to HD, PD has less adverse effect on hemodynamics and better preserves residual renal function, but is more likely to cause malnutrition and disorders of lipid metabolism. Therefore, choice of dialysis method should be based on specific conditions of each patient. doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.36.7.2901 How to cite this:Xu XD, Han X, Yang Y, Li X.

Diabetic nephropathy is the single most common cause of end-stage renal disease in the United States. Recently, several major therapeutic interventions have been developed and demonstrated to slow or halt the progression of renal failure in patients with diabetes and diabetic kidney disease. The Diabetes Control and Complications Trial demonstrated that microalbuminuria developed in fewer patients in the intensive blood sugar control group than in the conventional therapy group. Similarly, the risk of developing proteinuria was reduced by intensive blood sugar control. Multiple studies have demonstrated that in patients with insulin-dependent diabetes and proteinuria, lowering the systemic blood pressure slows the rate of decline in renal function and improves patients' survival. In the recently completed trial of ACE inhibition in diabetic nephropathy, ACE inhibitors were specifically shown to decrease dramatically the risk of doubling of serum creatinine or reaching a combined outcome of end-stage renal disease or death. In studies in small numbers of patients with insulin-dependent diabetes and established diabetic nephropathy, dietary protein restriction has also been demonstrated to slow the rate of decline of renal function. New potential interventions currently undergoing study include the use of aldose reductase inhibitors, the use of drugs that prevent the formation of advanced glycosylation end-products, and the use of angiotensin II receptor antagonists. Thus, several established benefits have recently been demonstrated to help prevent the development of or slow the progression of diabetic nephropathy, including blood pressure control, blood sugar control, and treatment with ACE inhibitors. Dietary protein restriction may also be of benefit. Multiple new interventions are undergoing clinical trials currently.

Background: This study analysed children with end-stage renal disease treated with automated peritoneal dialysis (APD) in our centre to explore the risk factors associated with residual renal function (RRF) loss. Methods: Children treated with APD as the initial renal replacement therapy regimen from January 2008 to December 2016 were included. All the children had a daily urine volume of ≥100 ml/m2 when APD was initiated and a dialysis follow-up time of ≥12 months. A daily urine volume of <100 ml/m2 after 12 months of APD treatment was defined as loss of RRF. Possible risk factors that may be associated with RRF loss were analysed. Results: A total of 66 children were included in the study. After 12 months of APD treatment, the daily urine volume decreased by 377.45 ± 348.80 ml/m2, the residual glomerular filtration rate decreased by 6.39 ± 3.69 ml/min/1.73 m2 and 29 of the patients (43.9%) developed RRF loss. The higher risk of RRF loss after 1 year of APD treatment was most pronounced in patients with daily urine volume of ≤400 ml/m2 before treatment, higher glucose exposure and higher ultrafiltration volume, while the lower risk of RRF loss was in patients with administration of diuretics. Each increase of 1 g/m2/day glucose exposure was associated with a 5% increase in RRF loss (odds ratio (OR) 1.05, p = 0.023) and each increase of 1 ml/m2/day ultrafiltration volume was associated with a 1% increase in RRF loss (OR 1.01, p = 0.013). Conclusion: In children undergoing APD, the risk for loss of RRF is associated with low urine volume at the start of APD, high glucose loading and high peritoneal ultrafiltration volume, while preservation of RRF is associated with the usage of diuretics.

Background Potential risk factors for 1-year mortality, including the peritoneal component of dialysis dose, residual renal function, demographic data, hematocrit, serum albumin, dialysate-to-plasma creatinine ratio, and blood pressure, were examined in a national cohort of peritoneal dialysis patients randomly selected for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) Core Indicators Project. Methods The study involved retrospective analysis of a cohort of 1219 patients receiving chronic peritoneal dialysis who were alive on December 31, 1996. Results During the 1-year follow-up period, 275 patients were censored and 200 non censored patients died. Among the 763 patients who had at least one calculable adequacy measure, the mean [± standard deviation (SD)] weekly Kt/V urea was 2.16 ± 0.61 and the mean weekly creatinine clearance was 66.1 ± 24.4 L/1.73 m2. Excluding the 365 patients who were anuric, the mean (±SD) urinary weekly Kt/V urea was 0.64 ± 0.52 (median: 0.51) and the mean (±SD) urinary weekly creatinine clearance was 31.0 ± 23.3 L/1.73 m2 (median: 26.3 L/1.73 m2). By Cox proportional hazard modeling, lower quartiles of renal Kt/V urea were predictive of 1-year mortality; lower quartiles of renal creatinine clearance were of borderline significance for predicting 1-year mortality. The dialysate component of neither the weekly creatinine clearance nor the weekly Kt/V urea were predictive of 1-year mortality. Other predictors of 1-year mortality ( p < 0.01) included lower serum albumin level, older age, and the presence of diabetes mellitus as the cause of ESRD, and, for the creatinine clearance model only, lower diastolic blood pressure. Conclusion Residual renal function is an important predictor of 1-year mortality in chronic peritoneal dialysis patients.

AbstractAlthough echocardiograms are often performed when peritoneal dialysis is started, associations between commonly reported findings and prospective changes in renal function remain understudied. Ninety-nine of 101 patients in the Trio Trial had transthoracic echocardiograms within 6 months of dialysis initiation, and measurements of residual renal function every six weeks for up to two years. Generalized mixed modelling linear regression in STATA was used to examine associations between left atrial size, left ventricular hypertrophy, left ventricular ejection fraction, right ventricular systolic pressure, and left valvular calcification with subsequent slopes in renal function. After echocardiography (performed a median of 16 days following peritoneal dialysis initiation) right ventricular systolic pressure was associated with faster, while declining left ventricular ejection fraction and valvular calcification were associated with slower declines in residual renal function. Future studies could be conducted to confirm these findings, and identify pathophysiological mechanisms.

Objective It is unknown whether a given level of urea clearance by the native kidneys provides better or similar control of uremia than the same level of urea clearance by continuous peritoneal dialysis (PD). More insight into possible differences between renal and peritoneal urea clearances is warranted. Therefore, we investigated the relationship between Kt/Vurea and protein equivalent of total nitrogen appearance normalized to body weight (nPNA), the relationship between urea clearance and creatinine appearance, and other nutritional parameters in PD patients without residual renal function, and in predialysis end-stage renal disease patients. Patients All patients participated in the Netherlands Cooperative Study on the Adequacy of Dialysis. This is a prospective cohort study of incident dialysis patients, in whom regular assessments of renal function are done. A group of 75 PD patients was identified at the first follow-up assessment in which their urine production was less than 100 mL/day. These patients were considered the anuric group. This group was compared with a control group of 97 predialysis patients studied 0 – 4 weeks before the start of dialysis treatment. Results Linear relationships were present between Kt/Vurea and nPNA, in both the predialysis patients and the anuric PD patients. A significant difference was present between the slopes of the two regression lines (0.40 vs 0.18, p = 0.007). When Kt/Vurea exceeded 1.3/week, a given level of Kt/Vurea was associated with a higher nPNA in predialysis than in anuric PD patients. Similar relationships were found between Kturea and PNA. Kturea was also significantly related to urine or dialysate creatinine appearance. A significant difference existed between the slopes of the regression lines in the two groups of patients ( p < 0.001). A weekly Kturea of 70 L was associated with a urine creatinine appearance of 11.0 mmol/day and a dialysate creatinine appearance of 8.4 mmol/day. Nutritional status measured with creatinine appearance and Subjective Global Assessment was better in the predialysis population, despite much lower values for Kt/Vurea in these patients. Conclusions The relationship between Kt/Vurea and nPNA in anuric PD patients is different from that in a predialysis population. It follows from our results that, when Kt/Vurea is above 1.3/week, a given level of Kt/Vurea is associated with a higher nPNA in predialysis than in anuric PD patients. This challenges the concept of equivalency between renal and peritoneal Kt/Vurea with respect to control of uremic morbidity.

Objective To assess the nature of the decline in residual renal function (RRF) after the initiation of peritoneal dialysis, and to identify risk factors influencing the preservation of RRF. Design A retrospective single-center study. Setting Tertiary medical center. Patients Eighty patients who were clinically stable and had been on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) for a minimum of 6 months. Main Outcome Measures All subjects had at least three measurements of RRF, which was calculated as the average of creatinine clearance (Ccr) and urea clearance from a 24-hour urine collection. All measurements of RRF were plotted on a logarithmic scale and a linear scale against the duration of CAPD. Covariables used in the correlation analyses were age, sex, the presence of diabetes mellitus, mean blood pressure, mean diastolic blood pressure, hematocrit and Ccr at the start of peritoneal dialysis, peritoneal membrane transport characteristics by peritoneal equilibration test (PET), and the rate of peritonitis. Results A significant correlation was found between CAPD duration and RRF decline represented on a logarithmic scale with a correlation coefficient ( r) of 0.355 ( p < 0.001). In contrast, on a linear scale, the correlation coefficient was only 0.273 ( p < 0.01). By linear multiple regression analysis, the only independent risk factor for the decline of RRF was the rate of peritonitis ( r = -0.446, p < 0.001). Conclusion These results suggest that RRF declines exponentially rather than linearly with time, and that the rate of peritonitis is an independent risk factor for the decline of RRF in CAPD patients.

Background. Glycosaminoglycan plays an important role in the maintenance of glomerular charge selectivity of diabetic nephropathy. Sulodexide, a mixture of naturally occurring glycosaminoglycan polysaccharide components, has shown a nephroprotective effect in an experimental model of diabetic nephropathy. Although sulodexide reduced albuminuria in patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes, long-term effects in patients with type 2 diabetes with significant proteinuria have not been established. Objectives. The study was aimed at investigating the effects of sulodexide on proteinuria and renal function in patients with type 2 diabetes and nephropathy. Methods. Fifty-two patients with proteinuria between 500 and 3000 mg/day received sulodexide 200 mg/day for 12 months, while 56 matched patients with type 2 diabetes constituted the control group. All patients received standard metabolic and blood pressure controls. Primary outcome was evaluated as percentage of reduced proteinuria compared with the control group. Renal function was assessed using estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Results. Proteinuria significantly increased in the control group [0.9 (IQR 0.3 to 1.78) to 1.16 (IQR 0.44 to 2.23) g/gCr, P=0.001], whereas it remained stable in the sulodexide group [0.66 (IQR 0.23 to 0.67) to 0.67 (IQR 0.17 to 1.51) g/gCr, P=0.108]. At 12 months, proteinuria was higher by 19.4% (IQR 10.3 to 37.6) in the control group while proteinuria was lower by -17.7% (IQR -53.1 to 3.2) in the sulodexide group with a significant difference between groups (P=0.001). Renal function was noted as a change of estimated GFR, and serum creatinine decreased significantly during the study in both groups but did not significantly differ between groups. No significant changes in the blood pressure, fasting plasma glucose, and hemoglobin A1C were reported. Conclusion. In addition to standard treatment, sulodexide is efficient in maintaining proteinuria in patients with type 2 diabetes with nonnephrotic range proteinuria, but it did not provide an additional benefit concerning renal disease progression.
