Background and Aims Increased oxidative stress in dialysis patients is thought to contribute to increased mortality; however, confirmatory data are scarce. We analyzed the serum concentration of 8-hydroxy-2'–deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), a marker of oxidative stress, in relation to mortality in hemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. Methods Serum 8-OHdG, interleukin 6 (IL-6), other biochemical markers, Davies comorbidity score, and protein-energy wasting (PEW) were assessed in 303 prevalent patients treated with HD (n = 220; age: 63 ± 14 years) or PD (n = 83; age: 64 ± 14 years). Mortality was assessed after a median follow-up of 31 months. Results The median (25th - 75th percentile) concentration of 8-OHdG was higher in HD than in PD patients: 1.3 ng/mL (0.9 - 1.8 ng/mL) versus 0.5 ng/mL (0.4 - 0.6 ng/mL), p < 0.001. The HD modality (standard β = 0.57, p < 0.001) and dialysis vintage (standard β3 = 0.12, p = 0.02) were independent predictors of serum 8-OHdG in a multivariable linear regression model including age, sex, body mass index, dialysis modality (HD or PD), preceding time on dialysis (dialysis vintage), PEW, comorbidity score, IL-6, and use of angiotensin converting-enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin II receptor blockers or statins. During follow-up, 107 patients died. In multivariable Cox regression models including all 303 patients and adjusted for age, sex, body mass index, dialysis modality, dialysis vintage, and comorbidity score, 8-OHdG was significantly associated with all-cause mortality (adjusted hazard ratio: 1.40; 95% confidence limits: 1.05, 1.87 for 1 standard deviation increase of 8-OHdG). In subgroup analyses according to dialysis modality, 8-OHdG was associated with mortality in HD patients but not in PD patients. Conclusions Oxidative stress as assessed by 8-OHdG is an independent predictor of all-cause mortality in dialysis patients. This association was seen in HD patients, but no such association could be demonstrated for PD patients.

Background Although higher body mass index (BMI) is associated with better outcomes in hemodialysis patients, the relationship in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients is less clear. We aimed to synthesize the results from all large and high-quality studies to examine whether underweight, overweight, or obesity is associated with any significantly different risk of death in peritoneal dialysis patients. Methods We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, CINAHL, and Cochrane CENTRAL, and screened 7,123 retrieved studies for inclusion. Two investigators independently selected the studies using predefined criteria and assessed each study's quality using the Newcastle-Ottawa Quality Assessment Scale. We meta-analyzed the results of the largest studies with no overlap in their data sources. Results We included 9 studies ( n = 156,562) in the systematic review and 4 studies in the meta-analyses. When examined without stratifying studies by follow-up duration, the results of the studies were inconsistent. Hence, we pooled the study results stratified based upon their follow-up durations, as suggested by a large study, and observed that being underweight was associated with higher 1-year mortality but had no significant association with 2- and 3- to 5-year mortalities. In contrast, being overweight or obese was associated with lower 1-year mortality but it had no significant association with 2-, and 3- to 5-year mortalities. Conclusion Over the short-term, being underweight was associated with higher mortality and being overweight or obese was associated with lower mortality. The associations of body mass with mortality were not significant over the long-term.

Objective To describe our experience with hernioplasty in peritoneal dialysis patients and to identify possible risk factors for surgical complications. Design A 4-year retrospective chart review of data. Setting Peritoneal dialysis unit of a university hospital. Patients and Methods 58 hernias in 50 patients were included. Detailed surgical technique and complications were recorded. Possible risk factors included age, gender, weight, height, body mass index, previous surgery, diabetes, time on dialysis, emergency surgery, hospital stay, type of hernia, mesh use, blood hemoglobin, and serum urea, creatinine, and potassium. Results Complications occurred in 12 hernioplasties (4 wound infections, 2 peritonitis, 4 catheter dysfunction, and 5 re-operations). Recurrence rate was 12% without mesh use and 0% with mesh hernioplasty. Dialysis was re-instituted in 96% of cases within 3 days postoperatively. Identified risk factors for complications were diabetes, low weight, low height, small body mass index, and low serum creatinine. Conclusions Mesh hernioplasty in peritoneal dialysis patients is advisable. Postoperative dialysis with low volume is feasible after surgery. Prospective studies will corroborate our risk factors for morbidity.

Abstract BackgroundThe relationship between body mass index (BMI) and mortality in hypertension patients remains controversial. This study aimed to evaluate the association and the time-varying effects of different BMI categories on the risk of all-cause mortality in hypertension patients. MethodsThis retrospective cohort study was conducted among 212,394 Chinese people with hypertension. All deaths were identified based on Shanghai Vital Statistics. Cox model combined with time-by-covariate interactions was used to estimate the association and the time-varying effects of BMI on the risk of all-cause mortality. The potential non-linear effects across follow-up period for BMI were examined by the application of restricted cubic spline (RCS).ResultsOverall, 31,130 deaths occurred (14.7%) within an average follow-up of 8.24 years. Underweight (<18.5 kg/m2) showed a progressively weakening negative effect on all-cause mortality over time. For both sexes, overweight (23.0-24.9 kg/m2) and class I obesity (25.0-29.9 kg/m2) showed protective effects within 5 years after registration, but these became insignificant in later years. There was no significant difference in the effect on all-cause mortality between class II obesity (≥30.0 kg/m2) and normal weight. in the elderly patients, overweight, class I obesity and class II obesity had continuous protective effects on mortality.ConclusionsAlthough the effect of baseline body mass index on the risk of all-cause mortality varied at different follow-up periods, underweight persistently remained a risk factor for all-cause mortality in hypertension, whereas overweight and class I obesity had protective effects. Thus, in the long-term management of hypertension, more attention should be given to underweight patients.

Patients with ESRD treated with dialysis have a high mortality rate. Controversy exists as to whether this high mortality rate is affected by modality choice. The purpose of this epidemiologic study was to compare mortality in prevalent hemodialysis-treated (HD) and peritoneal dialysis-treated (PD) patients in a large national sample, adjusting for demographic characteristics. Data were obtained from the U.S. Renal Data System for patients prevalent on January 1 of the years 1987, 1988, and 1989, each with 1 yr of follow-up. Patients were censored at transplantation. Death rates per 100 patient years were compared between HD and PD, adjusting for age, race, gender, cause of ESRD (diabetes versus nondiabetes) and < 1 yr or > 1 yr of prior ESRD, by the use of Poisson regression. There were 42,372 deaths occurring over 170,700 patient years at risk. On average, prevalent patients treated with PD had a 19% higher adjusted mortality risk (relative risk (RR) = 1.19; P < 0.001) than did those treated with HD. This risk was found to be insignificant (P > 0.05) and small for ages < 55 and increasingly large and significant for ages > 55 yr. It was accentuated in diabetics (RR = 1.38; P < 0.001) but was also present in nondiabetics (RR = 1.11; P < 0.001). Although present in both males and females, this risk was accentuated in females (RR = 1.30 versus 1.11; both P < 0.001). In this national study of prevalent U.S. dialysis patients, treatment assignment to PD was associated with a 19% higher all-cause mortality rate than HD.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract Background To evaluate associations between diabetes mellitus (DM) coexisting with hyperlipidemia and mortality in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. Methods This was a retrospective cohort study with 2939 incident PD patients in China from January 2005 to December 2018. Associations between the DM coexisting with hyperlipidemia and mortality were evaluated using the Cox regression. Results Of 2939 patients, with a median age of 50.0 years, 519 (17.7%) died during the median of 35.1 months. DM coexisting with hyperlipidemia, DM, and hyperlipidemia were associated with 1.93 (95% CI 1.45 to 2.56), 1.86 (95% CI 1.49 to 2.32), and 0.90 (95% CI 0.66 to 1.24)-time higher risk of all-cause mortality, compared with without DM and hyperlipidemia, respectively (P for trend < 0.001). Subgroup analyses showed a similar pattern. Among DM patients, hyperlipidemia was as a high risk of mortality as non-hyperlipidemia (hazard ratio 1.02, 95%CI 0.73 to 1.43) during the overall follow-up period, but from 48-month follow-up onwards, hyperlipidemia patients had 3.60 (95%CI 1.62 to 8.01)-fold higher risk of all-cause mortality than those non-hyperlipidemia (P interaction = 1.000). Conclusions PD patients with DM coexisting with hyperlipidemia were at the highest risk of all-cause mortality, followed by DM patients and hyperlipidemia patients, and hyperlipidemia may have an adverse effect on long-term survival in DM patients.
