Background: While it has been known that the development of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and age-related cognitive impairment involves several mediators, the evidence in clinical practice only reveals nitride oxide synthase (NOS) and klotho. However, the evidence for this topic is conflicted. The aim of this study was to assess the role of NOS and klotho single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the pathogenesis of CKD and age-related cognitive impairment. Methods: We performed a meta-analysis during October to December 2019. Paper collection was performed in major scientific websites, and we extracted information of interest from each paper. Data were analyzed using a Z-test with either random or fixed effect model. Results: Our initial assessment identified NOS3 G894T, NOS3 T786C, NOS3 4b/4a, klotho (KL) G395A, and KL C1818T as the gene candidate for our meta-analysis. Our pooled calculation revealed that NOS3 G894T was associated with the risk of both age-related cognitive impairment and CKD. Increased susceptibility to age-related cognitive impairment was observed in the GG genotype, and increased risk of CKD was found in patients with a single T allele and TT genotype for NOS3 nucleotide 894. For NOS3 4b/4a, increased risk of CKD was only found in 4a4a genotype. For NOS3 T786C, we failed to show the association with both CKD and age-related cognitive impairment. Subsequently, for KL G395A, A allele and GA genotype were found to correlate with increased susceptibility to CKD, while its correlation to age-related cognitive impairment was failed to clarify. For KL C1818T, our analysis failed to find the correlation with the risk of CKD. Conclusions: Our results reveal that the NOS3 G894T gene polymorphism has a crucial role in the pathogenesis of both CKD and age-related cognitive impairment.

Abstract Background and Aims Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) undergoing dialysis are at a particularly high risk of cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the benefits and harms of aldosterone antagonists, both non-selective (spironolactone) and selective (eplerenone), in comparison to control (placebo or standard care) in patients with CKD requiring haemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis. Method We searched the Cochrane Kidney and Transplant Register of Studies up to 29 July 2019 using search terms relevant to this review. Studies in the Register are identified through searches of CENTRAL, MEDLINE, and EMBASE, conference proceedings, the International Clinical Trials Register Search Portal and ClinicalTrials.gov. We included individual and cluster randomised controlled trials (RCTs), cross-over trials, and quasi-RCTs that compared aldosterone antagonists with placebo or standard care in patients with CKD requiring dialysis. We used a random-effects model meta-analysis to perform a quantitative synthesis of the data. We used the I2 statistic to measure heterogeneity among the trials in each analysis. We indicated summary estimates as a risk ratio (RR) for dichotomous outcomes with their 95% confidence interval (CI). We assessed the certainty of the evidence for each of the main outcomes using the GRADE (Grades of Recommendation, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation) approach. Results We included 16 trials (14 parallel RCTs and two cross-over trials) involving a total of 1,446 patients. Among included studies, 13 trials compared spironolactone to placebo or standard care and one trial compared eplerenone to a placebo. Most studies had an unclear or high risk of bias. Compared to control, aldosterone antagonists reduced the risk of all-cause death for patients with CKD requiring dialysis (9 trials, 1,119 patients: RR 0.45, 95% CI 0.30 to 0.67; moderate certainty of evidence). Aldosterone antagonist also decreased the risk of death due to cardiovascular disease (6 trials, 908 patients: RR 0.37, 95% CI 0.22 to 0.64; moderate certainty of evidence) and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular morbidity (3 trials, 328 patients: RR 0.38, 95% CI 0.18 to 0.76; moderate certainty of evidence). While aldosterone antagonists had an apparent increased risk of gynaecomastia compared with control (4 trials, 768 patients: RR 5.95, 95% CI 1.93 to 18.3; moderate certainty of evidence), the elevated risk of hyperkalaemia due to aldosterone antagonists was uncertain (9 trials, 981 patients: RR 1.41, 95% CI 0.72 to 2.78; low certainty of evidence). Conclusion Based on moderate certainty of the evidence, aldosterone antagonists could reduce the risk of all-cause and cardiovascular death and morbidity due to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease but increase the risk of gynaecomastia in patients with CKD requiring dialysis.

Background: Recent findings suggest that mild chronic kidney disease (CKD) might be associated with increased risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE). However, results were partially inconsistent, which may be due to lack of power. We therefore performed a meta-analysis to investigate the association between mild CKD and VTE incidence. Methods: A literature search was performed to retrieve community-based cohorts with information on the association of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and albuminuria with VTE. Five cohorts were identified that were pooled on individual level. To obtain pooled hazard ratios (HRs) for VTE, linear spline models were fitted using Cox regression with shared-frailty. Models were adjusted for age, sex, hypertension, total cholesterol, smoking, diabetes, history of cardiovascular disease and body-mass index. Random-effect meta-analysis was used to obtain adjusted pooled HRs of VTE with CKD versus no CKD. Results: The analysis included 95,154 participants with 1,178 VTE cases and 599,453 person-years of follow-up. Risk of VTE increased continuously with lower eGFR and higher ACR (Figure). Compared with eGFR 100 mL/min/1.73m², pooled adjusted HRs for VTE were 1.3 (1.0–1.7) for eGFR 60, 1.8 (1.3–2.6) for 45 and 1.9 (1.2–2.9) for 30 mL/min/1.73m². Compared with albumin-creatinine ratio (ACR) 5 mg/g, pooled adjusted HRs for VTE were 1.3 (1.04–1.7) for ACR 30, 1.6 (1.1–2.4) for 300 and 1.9 (1.2–3.1) for 1000 mg/g. There was no evidence for interaction between eGFR and ACR (P=0.22). The pooled adjusted HR for CKD (eGFR <60 ml/min/1.73m² or albuminuria ≥30 mg/g) vs. no CKD was 1.5 (95%CI, 1.2–2.1). Results were similar for idiopathic and provoked VTE. Conclusion: Both reduced eGFR and elevated albuminuria are novel independent predictors of VTE in the general population.

Background Although the relationship between a history of kidney stones and chronic kidney disease (CKD) has been explored in many studies, it is still far from being well understood. Thus, we conducted a meta-analysis of studies comparing rates of CKD in patients with a history of kidney stones. Methods PubMed, EMBASE, and the reference lists of relevant articles were searched to identify observational studies related to the topic. A random-effects model was used to combine the study-specific risk estimates. We explored the potential heterogeneity by subgroup analyses and meta-regression analyses. Results Seven studies were included in this meta-analysis. Pooled results suggested that a history of kidney stones was associated with an increased adjusted risk estimate for CKD [risk ratio (RR), 1.47 95% confidence interval (CI) [1.23–1.76])], with significant heterogeneity among these studies (I2 = 93.6%, P < 0.001). The observed positive association was observed in most of the subgroup analyses, whereas the association was not significant among studies from Asian countries, the mean age ≥50 years and male patients. Conclusion A history of kidney stones is associated with increased risk of CKD. Future investigations are encouraged to reveal the underlying mechanisms in the connection between kidney stones and CKD, which may point the way to more effective preventive and therapeutic measures.

Abstract Background Cardiovascular disease is an important driver of the increased mortality associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Higher left ventricular mass (LVM) predicts increased risk of adverse cardiovascular outcomes and total mortality, but previous reviews have shown no clear association between intervention-induced LVM change and all-cause or cardiovascular mortality in CKD. Methods The primary objective of this meta-analysis was to investigate whether treatment-induced reductions in LVM over periods ≥ 12 months were associated with all-cause mortality in patients with CKD. Cardiovascular mortality was investigated as a secondary outcome. Measures of association in the form of relative risks (RRs) with associated variability and precision (95% confidence intervals [CIs]) were extracted directly from each study, when reported, or were calculated based on the published data, if possible, and pooled RR estimates were determined. Results The meta-analysis included 38 trials with duration ≥ 12 months: 6 of erythropoietin stimulating agents treating to higher vs. lower hemoglobin targets, 10 of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors vs. placebo or another blood pressure lowering agent, 14 of modified hemodialysis regimens, and 8 of other types of interventions. All-cause mortality was reported in 116/2385 (4.86%) subjects in intervention groups and 161/2404 (6.70%) subjects in control groups. The pooled RR estimate of the 24 trials ≥ 12 months with ≥ 1 event in ≥ 1 group was 0.72 (95% CI 0.57 to 0.91, p = 0.005), with little heterogeneity across studies. Directionalities of the associations in intervention subgroups were the same. Sensitivity analyses of ≥ 6 months (31 trials), ≥ 9 months (26 trials), and > 12 months (9 trials), and including studies with no events in either group, demonstrated similar risk reductions to the primary analysis. The point estimate for cardiovascular mortality was similar to all-cause mortality, but not statistically significant: RR 0.66, 95% CI 0.38 to 1.15. Conclusions These results suggest that LVM regression may be a useful surrogate marker for benefits of interventions intended to reduce mortality risk in patients with CKD.

Abstract Background Blood pressure (BP) control is critical in delaying the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD), which otherwise results in an increased risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) or angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, are recommended by several guidelines as first-line treatment for patients with hypertension and CKD. Purpose We reviewed and analysed the effect of ARB treatment on BP and renal outcomes (estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), serum creatinine (SCr), creatinine clearance (CrCl) or proteinuria) in patients with hypertension and CKD with or without diabetes, including large clinical trials such as RENAAL and IDNT. Methods MEDLINE, EMBASE, and BIOSIS databases were searched for literature from the earliest available date to July 2017. Randomised (parallel-group) controlled trials of ≥8 weeks assessed the impact of ARBs on systolic/diastolic BP (SBP/DBP), eGFR, SCr, CrCl or proteinuria were included in the analysis. Meta-analysis (post- versus pre-treatment) and meta-regression were conducted in R-statistical software (v3.4.1) using meta- and metafor-packages. Mean difference (MD, generic inverse variance) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) was used to pool data for an outcome in a single forest plot. The risk of bias (quality) of included studies was assessed by the six items of the Cochrane instrument. Results Of the 165 articles assessed for eligibility, 24 studies were included in the analysis (19 evaluated ARBs as monotherapy, 4 evaluated ARBs in combination with other antihypertensives and 1 evaluated ARBs both as mono- and combination therapy). Treatment with ARBs as monotherapy for ≥8 weeks to <1 year significantly reduced mean office SBP (MD, −12.60 mmHg; 95% CI, −18.53 to −6.67)/DBP (−6.52 mmHg; −11.27 to −1.77) (p<0.01). BP reduction was also significant (p<0.01) with ARB monotherapy for ≥1 year SBP (−14.84 mmHg; −17.82 to −11.85)/DBP (−10.27 mmHg; −12.26 to −8.27). ARBs also significantly reduced SBP/DBP when combined with other antihypertensive treatments for ≥8 weeks to <1 year as well as for ≥1 year (Figure). Moreover, ARBs induced significant reductions (p<0.01) in proteinuria (≥8 weeks to <1 year [MD, −0.6 g/L; 95% CI, −0.93 to −0.26; ≥1 year [−0.9 g/L; −1.22 to −0.59]), but no significant changes in eGFR, CrCl or SCr levels. The beneficial effect of ARBs was maintained overtime with no significant additional impact on SBP change (estimate: 0.025; 95% CI, –0.14 to 0.19) or eGFR (estimate: 0.068; 95% CI, −0.14 to 0.28; p=0.53). The overall risk of bias was judged to be low. Effect of ARBs on blood pressure changes Conclusion Treatment with ARBs effectively and sustainably lowered BP and proteinuria with no significant change in eGFR in patients with hypertension and CKD with or without diabetes.

The prognostic interaction between chronic kidney disease (CKD) and cognitive impairment is still to be elucidated. We investigated the potential interaction of overall cognitive impairment or defective constructional praxis and CKD in predicting 1-year mortality among 646 older patients discharged from hospital. The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was calculated using the Berlin Initiative Study (BIS) equation. Cognitive impairment was assessed by the Mini Mental State Exam (MMSE) and defective constructional praxis was ascertained by the inherent MMSE item. The study outcome was 1-year mortality. Statistical analysis was carried out using Cox regression. After adjusting for potential confounders, the co-occurrence of eGFR <30 and overall cognitive impairment (Hazard Ratio (HR) = 3.12, 95% Confidence Interval (CI) = 1.26–7.77) and defective constructional praxis (HR = 2.50, 95% CI = 1.08–5.77) were associated with the outcome. No significant prognostic interaction of eGFR < 30 with either overall cognitive impairment (HR = 1.99, 95% CI = 0.38–10.3) or constructional apraxia (HR = 1.68, 95% CI = 0.33–8.50) was detectable, while only cognitive deficits were found significantly associated with the outcome in the interaction models (HR = 3.12, 95% CI = 1.45–6.71 for overall cognitive impairment and HR = 2.16, 95% CI = 1.05–4.45 for constructional apraxia). Overall cognitive impairment and defective constructional praxis may be associated with increased risk of 1-year mortality among older hospitalized patients with severe CKD. However, no significant prognostic interaction between CKD and cognitive impairment could be observed.

Background: The correlation between soluble Klotho (sKlotho) level and vascular calcification (VC) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) remains controversial. Using meta-analysis, we aimed to address this controversy and assess the feasibility of applying sKlotho as a biomarker for VC.Methods: Medical electronic databases were thoroughly searched for eligible publications on the association between sKlotho level and VC in CKD patients. Effectors, including correlation coefficients (r), odds ratios (ORs), hazard ratio (HR) or β-values, and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were extracted and combined according to study design or effector calculation method. Pooled effectors were generated using both random-effects models and fixed-effects models according to I2-value. Origin of heterogeneity was explored by sensitivity analysis and subgroup analysis.Results: Ten studies with 1,204 participants from a total of 1,199 publications were eligible and included in this meta-analysis. The combined correlation coefficient (r) was [−0.33 (−0.62, −0.04)] with significant heterogeneity (I2 = 89%, p &lt; 0.001) based on Spearman correlation analysis, and this significant association was also demonstrated in subgroups. There was no evidence of publication bias. The combined OR was [3.27 (1.70, 6.30)] with no evidence of heterogeneity (I2 = 0%, p = 0.48) when sKlotho was treated as a categorical variable or [1.05 (1.01, 1.09)] with moderate heterogeneity (I2 = 63%, p = 0.10) when sKlotho was treated as a continuous variable based on multivariate logistic regression. No significant association was observed and the pooled OR was [0.29 (0.01, 11.15)] with high heterogeneity (I2 = 96%, p &lt; 0.001) according to multivariate linear regression analysis. There was an inverse association between sKlotho and parathyroid hormone levels. The combined coefficient (r) was [−0.20 (−0.40, −0.01)] with significant heterogeneity (I2 = 86%, p &lt; 0.001), and without obvious publication bias. No significant association was found between sKlotho and calcium or phosphate levels.Conclusion: There exists a significant association between decreased sKlotho level and increased risk of VC in CKD patients. This raises the possibility of applying sKlotho as a biomarker for VC in CKD populations. Large, prospective, well-designed studies or interventional clinical trials are required to validate our findings.
