Background: Chronic kidney disease is a non-communicable global problem. In patients of chronic kidney disease especially in Hemodialysis patient mortality and morbidity due to atherosclerosis induced cardiovascular complications is very high despite the advances of Hemodialysis procedure. Residual renal function contributes significantly to the overall health and cardiovascular morbidity of dialysis patients. So, the loss of residual renal function, especially in patients on Hemodialysis, is a powerful predictor of mortality. Preserving residual renal function is the goal of nephrologists. Objective: To find the association between residual renal function and cardiovascular morbidity in twice weekly and thrice weekly Hemodialysis patient. Methodology: This cross sectional study was conducted on 72 Hemodialysis patients received dialysis more than three months in the dialysis centre of BSMMU and DMCH, Dhaka, Bangladesh during the period of October 2018 to September 2019. Study populations were divided into two groups on the basis of residual renal function (RRF). RRF was defined by interdialytic 24 hours urine volume and average of urinary urea and creatinine clearance. Preserved RRF was defined 24 hours urine volume more than 100ml. Chi-square test (χ2), Student’s paired t-test and multiple regression analysis were used to find association between cardiovascular morbidity and RRF. Result: A significant difference of diastolic dysfunction, systolic dysfunction, LVH (p=0.001, p=0.001, p=0.004 respectively) was seen in between preserved RRF and without preserved RRF group but the difference of regional wall motion abnormality and valvular heart disease was found to be non-significant. In regression analysis, loss of RRF was found to be a significant predictor of cardiovascular morbidity. Conclusion: Preserved RRF was significantly associated with less frequent diastolic dysfunction, left ventricular hypertrophy and higher level of left ventricular ejection fraction compared to without preserved residual renal function in both twice weekly and thrice weekly HD patient.

Abstract Introduction The prevalence of chronic renal disease (CKD) is continuously increasing in developed countries. Uremic cardiomyopathy characterized by left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and diastolic dysfunction (DD) is a common cardiovascular complication of CKD. Cardiac microvascular low-grade inflammation and altered expression of endothelium derived Neuregulin-1 (NRG-1) are contributed to left ventricular DD. Our aim was to charachterize the effects of CKD on the expression of NRG-1 and 2) NRG-1 treatment on myocardial hypertrophy, diastolic dysfunction and renal function in the rat model of CKD. Methods Male Wistar rats were used and randomized into 3 groups: 1) Sham-operated,2) CKD induced by 5/6 nephrectomy (CKD) and 3) NRG-1-treated CKD group (CKD+NRG-1). In this group, 2 weeks after the CKD induction, the rats were treated with recombinant human NRG-1 (rhNRG-1) at the dose of 10 μg/kg/d for consecutive 10 days with tail vein injection of NRG-1. Serum and urea creatinine levels were measured to verify the development of CKD and transthoracic echocardiography was performed to monitor cardiac morphology and function. Furthermore, total RNA was isolated and RT-qPCR was performed to evaluate the expression levels of inflammatory chemokine and cytokines (TNF-α, TGF-β). In addition, NRG-1 protein levels were assessed in both kidney and heart tissue by ELISA. To clarify the underling anti-fibrotic mechanism, human ventricular cardiac fibroblasts (HCF) were cultured and treated with the TGF-β (20 ng/ml), and TGF-β + hrNRG-1 for 24 h, respectively. Confocal microscopy was used to detect α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) expression, marker for fibroblast to myofibroblast transtion. Results 10 weeks after the 5/6 nephrectomy, serum carbamide and creatinine levels were significantly increased and creatinine clearence was significantly decreased as compared to sham-operated animals proving the development of chronic kidney disease (CKD). This was accompanied by a significant decrease in NRG-1 protein expression levels in both cardiac and kidney tissue. Of note, NRG-1 treatment markedly reduced these changes, suggesting its renoprotective effects in CKD. In addition, In CKD animals, the significantly increased anterior, posterior and septal wall thicknesses with decreased end-diastolic and end-systolic diameters proved the development of concentric left ventricular hypertrophy. In CKD, the septal e' was significantly decreased and E/e' increased indicating the developemnt of diastolic dysfunction. These parameters were significantly improved by NRG-1 treatment. Mechanistically, NRG-1 treatment reduced the expression of inflammatory cytokines in compared to untreat group. Furthermore, TGF-β induced α-SMA and Col I upregulation was markedly reduced by hrNRG-1 treatment. Conclusions NRG-1 treatment improved both renal and cardiac funtion in CKD, via a mechansim including the anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic properties of NRG-1.
