Severe obesity is a major risk for chronic kidney disease (CKD). Early detection and careful monitoring of renal function are critical for the prevention of CKD during obesity, since biopsies are not performed in patients with CKD and diagnosis is dependent on the assessment of clinical parameters. To explore whether distinct lipid and metabolic signatures in obesity may signify early stages of pathogenesis toward CKD, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) and gas chromatography-high resolution accurate mass-mass spectrometry (GC-HRAM-MS) analyses were performed in the serum and the urine of severely obese patients with and without CKD. Moreover, the impact of bariatric surgery (BS) in lipid and metabolic signature was also studied, through LC-MS and GC-HRAM-MS analyses in the serum and urine of patients with severe obesity and CKD before and after undergoing BS. Regarding patients with severe obesity and CKD compared to severely obese patients without CKD, serum lipidome analysis revealed significant differences in lipid signature. Furthermore, serum metabolomics profile revealed significant changes in specific amino acids, with isoleucine and tyrosine, increased in CKD patients compared with patients without CKD. LC-MS and GC-HRAM-MS analysis in serum of patients with severe obesity and CKD after BS showed downregulation of levels of triglycerides (TGs) and diglycerides (DGs) as well as a decrease in branched-chain amino acid (BCAA), lysine, threonine, proline, and serine. In addition, BS removed most of the correlations in CKD patients against biochemical parameters related to kidney dysfunction. Concerning urine analysis, hippuric acid, valine and glutamine were significantly decreased in urine from CKD patients after surgery. Interestingly, bariatric surgery did not restore all the lipid species, some of them decreased, hence drawing attention to them as potential targets for early diagnosis or therapeutic intervention. Results obtained in this study would justify the use of comprehensive mass spectrometry-based lipidomics to measure other lipids aside from conventional lipid profiles and to validate possible early markers of risk of CKD in patients with severe obesity.

Background:The significance of asymptomatic hyperuricemia (AH) continues to be debated. At the population level, asymptomatic hyperuricemia is associated with multiple comorbidities, including hypertension, coronary artery disease, diabetes and chronic kidney disease.1Objectives:To investigate the impact of asymptomatic hyperuricemia on renal functional and structural parameters in comparison with symptomatic gout.Methods:The subjects included in the study were divided into two groups - 46 patients with asymptomatic hyperuricemia and 18 diagnosed with gout according to ACR/EULAR 2015 criteria.2 For renal function assessment urine analysis, albuminuria, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) based on Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation were used. Diagnostic ultrasound as well as renal biopsy were performed to evaluate structural and histological kidney changes. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 22.0 software (SPSS Inc, Chicago, USA).Results:There were no significant differences between the two groups on serum uric acid levels, albuminuria, and eGFR. However, erythrocyturia (p=0.047) and nephrolithiasis (p<0.001) prevailed significantly in patients with gout, 66.7% and 61.1% respectively. We did not find any histological differences between the two groups regarding the number of affected glomeruli, tubular atrophy and percentage of interstitial fibrosis based on light microscopy scans.Conclusion:Our results indicate that patients with AH need renal screening since both AH and gout show similar kidney changes. Further research is needed to elucidate the role of early treatment with xanthine oxidase inhibitor for asymptomatic hyperuricemia as prevention of complications such as erythrocyturia and nephrolithiasis.References:[1]Yip K, Cohen RE, Pillinger MH.

Although many obese patients with type 2 diabetes lose weight by dieting, most subsequently regain it. We performed a retrospective cohort analysis to assess the influence of the amount and rapidity of weight loss during hospitalization on the risk of subsequently regaining weight and stopping treatment in patients with severe obesity who dieted without bariatric surgery. A total of 131 severely obese patients (48±14 years old; BMI: 41.7±8.8; 75% with diabetes) received inpatient treatment that included diet, exercise, behavioral modification (charting weight four times daily), and educational seminars, and were followed after discharge. Regaining weight and drop-out were defined as returning to baseline body weight and failing to keep outpatient appointments, respectively. Patients lost an average of 5.3±3.0kg (4.9±2.4%) in hospital (mean: 19 days). Over the median 2-year follow-up period, unadjusted analysis showed that patients with >3% weight loss in hospital had significantly less risk of regaining weight than patients losing≤3%. The risk decreased further with greater weight loss (>7% loss; hazard ratio (HR):0.06; 95% confidence interval:0.007-0.47). Adjusted analysis revealed that >5% weight loss was associated with significantly less risk of regaining weight after adjustment for age, sex, BMI, smoke, diabetes, insulin, sulfonylurea, antidepressant medication, and duration of hospitalization (>7% loss; HR 0.04(0.004-0.36, p=0.004), 7%≥loss>5%; HR 0.3(0.11-0.85, p=0.02)). No significant relation was observed between weight loss and drop-out. Among patients with >3% weight loss during hospitalization, rapid weight loss (>3% within 7 days) did not increase the risk of subsequently regaining weight compared with patients showing slower weight loss. In conclusion, achieving >5% weight loss during comparatively brief hospitalization predicts subsequent maintenance of lower weight. Experiencing success in hospital might increase the motivation of obese patients.

Chronic kidney disease, also referred to as end-stage renal disease (ESRD), is a prevalent and chronic condition for which treatment is necessary as a means of survival once affected individuals reach the fifth and final stage of the disease. Dialysis is a form of maintenance treatment that aids with kidney functioning once a normal kidney is damaged. There are two main types of dialysis: hemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD). Each form of treatment is discussed between the patient and nephrologist and is largely dependent upon the following factors: medical condition, ability to administer treatment, supports, geographical location, access to necessary equipment/supplies, personal wishes, etc. For Indigenous Peoples who reside on remote Canadian First Nation communities, relocation is often recommended due to geographical location and limited access to both health care professionals and necessary equipment/supplies (i.e., quality of water, access to electricity/plumbing, etc). Consequently, the objective of this paper is to determine the psychosocial and somatic effects for Indigenous Peoples with ESRD if they have to relocate from remote First Nation communities to an urban centre. A review of the literature suggests that relocation to urban centres has negative implications that are worth noting: cultural isolation, alienation from family and friends, somatic issues, psychosocial issues, loss of independence and role adjustment. As a result of relocation, it is evident that the impact is profound in terms of an individuals’ mental, emotional, physical and spiritual well-being. Ensuring that adequate social support and education are available to patients and families would aid in alleviating stressors associated with managing chronic kidney disease.
