Study Results

Aim: Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at increased cardiovascular risk. Methods: Patients with acute coronary syndrome were retrospectively allocated to three groups (stage 3A, stage 3B or stage 4) based on the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes classification formulas: the CKD Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI; N = 401) and the modification of diet in renal disease (n = 355). The primary end point was all-cause mortality (median follow-up time, 32 months [ 15–70 ]). Results: Study results showed decreased median survival was associated with poor renal function for both the CKD-EPI (78 vs 61 vs 40 months, p = 0.014) and modification of diet in renal disease groups (68 vs 57 vs 32 months, p = 0.006). After adjustment, age (OR: 1.07; 95% CI: 1.01–1.14) and pulmonary artery systolic pressure (OR: 1.08; 95% CI: 1.03–1.14), but not estimated glomerular filtration rate, were associated with decreased survival. Conclusion: Study results suggest that poor outcomes after an acute coronary syndrome were associated with comorbidities rather than estimated glomerular filtration rate level.

Introduction: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an international public health problem affecting about 5–10% of the population. It is the ninth leading cause of death. A trend towards increased incidence and prevalence is being reported worldwide with epidemic proportions in many countries. CKD is associated with variety of endocrine disturbances among which thyroid dysfunction is most common. This is probably due to reduce circulating hormone levels, altered binding of hormone to carrier protein or due to reduced peripheral metabolism of hormone. Materials and Methods: The study included 100 patients diagnosed with CKD. Both male and female patients aged between 30-70 years were selected for the study. Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) was calculated using Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) formula. Total T3, Total T4, TSH levels were measured by CLIA methodology. Results: Statistically significant alteration in TSH (p<0.01) values were seen with eGFR suggesting that alteration in the eGFR may lead to thyroid hormone resistance.

Introduction: Determination of renal function is particularly important when prescribing antibiotics to elderly patients. This study aims to determine the correlation between estimated creatinine clearance and the estimated glomerular filtration rate, for a hospitalized population of very elderly patients, and to audit antibiotic prescribing errors.Material and Methods: Retrospective cohort study of all patients ≥ 80 years hospitalized with antibiotic. Creatinine clearance was calculated using Cockcroft-Gault equation and estimated glomerular filtration rate by Modification of Diet in Renal Disease Study and Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration equations. Dosing errors were determined through adjustment of daily define dose to renal function.Results: The study included 589 patients. The correlation of Cockcroft-Gault with Modification of Diet in Renal Disease and Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration was r = 0.98 and 0.96 for the minimum serum creatinine, and 0.97 and 0.93 for the maximum serum creatinine. Based on Cockcroft-Gault, there were errors in the daily defined dose in 45% in the minimum serum creatinine, and 52% in the maximum serum creatinine day. There was a discrepancy in the recording of errors of 14% to 16% when Cockcroft-Gault was compared with Modification of Diet in Renal Disease and Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration.Discussion: There was a good correlation of Cockcroft-Gault with the estimated glomerular filtration rate by Modification of Diet in Renal Disease or Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration. Regardless of the equation used to estimate renal function there was a high rate of antibiotic dosing errors documented in this population.Conclusion: This study supports the maintenance of the Cockcroft-Gault equation for drug dosing in the very elderly population. Further studies are needed to investigate underlying causes of prescribing errors.

Fibroblast Growth

Although the important role of fibroblast growth factor (FGF)23 on cardiac remodeling has been suggested in advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD), little is known about serum (s)FGF23 levels in patients with heart failure (HF) due to nonischemic cardiac disease (NICD) and early CKD. The present study aimed to investigate sFGF23 levels in NICD patients and identify the responsible factors for the elevation of sFGF23 levels. We prospectively measured sFGF23 levels in consecutive hospitalized NICD patients with early CKD (estimated glomerular filtration rate ≥ 40 ml·min−1·1.73 m−2) and analyzed the data of both echocardiography and right heart catheterization. Of the 156 NICD patients (estimated glomerular filtration rate range: 41–128 ml·min−1·1.73 m−2), the most severe HF symptom (New York Heart Association class III-IV, 53% vs. 33%, P = 0.015) was found in the above median sFGF23 (39.1 pg/ml) group compared with the below median sFGF23 group. sFGF23 levels were higher in patients with HF hospitalization history compared with those without HF [median: 46.8 (interquartile range: 38.8–62.7) vs. 34.7 (interquartile range: 29.6–42.4) pg/ml, P < 0.0001]. In the multivariate analysis, HF hospitalization was independently related to elevated sFGF23 levels ( P = 0.022). Both systolic dysfunction and high plasma aldosterone concentration were identified as predictors of high sFGF23 levels ( P < 0.05). Among the neurohormonal parameters, elevated sFGF23 levels were the only factor to predict a declining left ventricular ejection fraction ( P = 0.001). These findings suggest that the progression of HF per se contributes to the elevation of sFGF23 levels even in the early stages of CKD, which leads to further myocardial dysfunction, potentially creating a vicious cycle.

Function Assessment

Background: Renal dysfunction negatively impacts survival in acute coronary syndrome patients. The Berlin Initiative Study creatinine-based (BIScrea) equation has recently been proposed for renal function assessment in older persons. However, up to now it is unknown if the superiority of the new BIScrea equation, with respect to the most recommended chronic kidney disease epidemiology collaboration creatinine-based (CKD-EPIcrea) formula, would translate into better risk prediction of adverse events in older patients with acute coronary syndrome. Objectives: To study the impact of using estimated glomerular filtration rate calculated according to the BIScrea and CKD-EPIcrea equations on mortality in acute coronary syndrome patients aged 70 years and over. Methods: Retrospectively, between 2011 and 2016, a total of 2008 patients with acute coronary syndrome (64% men; age 79±7 years) were studied. Follow-up was 18±10 months. Measures of performance were evaluated using continuous data and stratifying patients into three estimated glomerular filtration rate subgroups: ≥60, 59.9–30 and <30 mL/min/1.73 m2. Results: The two formulas afforded independent prognostic information over follow-up. However, risk prediction was most accurate using the BIScrea formula as evaluated by Cox proportional hazards models (hazard ratio (for each 10 mL/min/1.73 m2 decrease) 1.47 vs. 1.27 with the CKD-EPI equation; P<0.001 for comparison), c-statistic values (0.69 vs. 0.65, respectively; P=0.04 for comparison) and Bayesian information criterion. Net reclassification improvement based on the estimated glomerular filtration rate categories significantly favoured BIScrea +9 (95% confidence interval 2–16%; P=0.02). Conclusions: Our findings suggest that the BIScrea formula may improve death risk prediction more than the CKD-EPIcrea formula in older patients with acute coronary syndrome.
