- Parathyroidectomy Improves Restless Leg Syndrome in Patients on Hemodialysis(2016) SANTOS, Roberto Savio Silva; COELHO, Fernando Morgadinho Santos; SILVA, Bruno Caldin da; GRACIOLLI, Fabiana Giorgeti; DOMINGUEZ, Wagner Velasquez; MONTENEGRO, Fabio Luiz de Menezes; JORGETTI, Vanda; MOYSES, Rosa Maria Affonso; ELIAS, Rosilene MottaBackground Restless leg syndrome (RLS) is a sleep disorder with high prevalence among patients on hemodialysis. It has been postulated that high phosphate and high parathyroid hormone may be implicated in its pathogenesis. Standard international criteria and face-to-face interview are not always applied. Methods this was an interventional prospective study in which 19 patients (6 men, aged 48+/-11 years) with severe hyperparathyroidism were evaluated. RLS diagnosis and rating scale were accessed based on the International RLS Study Group pre- and post-parathyroidectomy. Patients also underwent standard polysomnography. Results At baseline, RLS was present in 10 patients (52.6%), and pain was the most reported symptom associated with the diagnosis. Patients with RLS had higher serum phosphate (p = 0.008) that remained independently associated with RLS in a logistic regression model, adjusted for hemoglobin, age and gender (HR = 7.28; CI = 1.14-46.3, p = 0.035). After parathyroidectomy, there was a reduction of serum parathyroid hormone, phosphate, calcium and alkaline phosphatase, and an increase of 25(OH)-vitamin D, and Fetuin-A. Parathyroidectomy alleviated RLS (from 52% to 21%; p = 0.04), which was accompanied by a decrease in severity scale, in association with relief of pain and pruritus. Polysomnography in these patients showed an improvement of sleep parameters as measured by sleep efficiency, sleep latency and percentage of REM sleep. Conclusion RLS is associated with high levels of phosphate in patients with severe secondary hyperparathyroidism on hemodialysis. Pain is most reported complain in these patients. Parathyroidectomy provided an opportunity to relief RLS. Whether the reduction of serum phosphorus or parathyroid hormone contributed to this improvement merits further investigation.
- Water removal from the legs does explain hypotension in short daily hemodialysis(2014) BALES, A. M.; BATTAINI, L. C.; NARDOTTO, L. L.; HUMEL, R. S.; SILVA, B. C.; MOYSES, R. M. A.; CASTRO, M. C. M.; ELIAS, R. M.
- Restless legs syndrome in patients on hemodialysis: Polysomnography findings(2019) BAMBINI, Beatriz B. M.; MOYSES, Rosa M. A.; BATISTA, Luci C. D.; COELHO, Brunelle B. S. S.; TUFIK, Sergio; ELIAS, Rosilene M.; COELHO, Fernando M.Introduction: Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a highly prevalent sleep movement disorder usually accompanied by periodic limb movements of sleep (PLMS). The incidence of RLS and PLMS in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on dialysis is much higher. Clinically, RLS and PLMS can co-occur. We hypothesized that patients with ESRD on dialysis would have a distinct presentation of RLS, with a higher prevalence of PLMS. Methods: We examined clinical, demographic, biochemical, and polysomnographic characteristics of RLS in patients on dialysis matched to control subjects with normal renal function based on age, sex, body mass index, and frequency of apneas and hypopneas per hour of sleep, defined by the apnea and hypopnea index (AHI), in a proportion of 3:1. Patients with ESRD were on hemodialysis three times per week. Polysomnography was performed overnight in the sleep laboratory. Findings: Patients on dialysis compared to control subjects had a lower amount of N3 sleep (77.6 +/- 39.9 minutes vs. 94.8 +/- 33.7 minutes, p = 0.037) and REM sleep (55.6 +/- 27.5 minutes vs. 74.1 +/- 28.4 minutes, p = 0.006), regardless of the presence of RLS. Among the patients on dialysis, those with RLS had higher PLMS. In the control group, patients with RLS had a lower ferritin level, which was not observed in the dialysis group. There was a significant interaction between PLMS and ESRD (p = 0.001), with a higher prevalence of PLMS in patients with ESRD on dialysis in a model adjusted for AHI, sex, arousals, and age. Factors that were associated with PLMS were RLS (p = 0.003), ESRD (p = 0.0001), and AHI (p = 0.041), with an adjusted R-2 of 0.321. Conclusion: RLS in patients with ESRD on dialysis is independently associated with PLMS, regardless of the severity of sleep apnea, arousals, and age.
- The unexpected presence of iron in bone biopsies of hemodialysis patients(2018) CUSTODIO, Melani R.; ELIAS, Rosilene M.; VELASQUEZ, Wagner D.; REIS, Luciene M. dos; OLIVEIRA, Ivone B.; MOYSES, Rosa M. A.; CARVALHO, Aluizio B.; JORGETTI, VandaPurpose Bone biopsy defines classical diseases that constitute the renal osteodystrophy. There is a recent concern regarding other histological findings that are not appreciated by using the turnover, mineralization, and volume (TMV) classification. Iron (Fe) overload has been considered a new challenge and the real significance of the presence of this metal in bones is not completely elucidated. Therefore, the main goal of the current study was to not only to identify bone Fe, but also correlate its presence with demographic, and biochemical characteristics. Methods This is a cross-sectional analysis of bone biopsies performed in 604 patients on dialysis from 2010 to 2014 in a tertiary academic Hospital. Results Histomorphometric findings revealed the presence of Fe in 29.1%. Fe was associated with higher levels of serum ferritin and serum calcium. No TMV status was related to Fe bone overload. Conclusion Our study has highlighted that the presence of Fe in one-third of bone samples has unknown clinical significance. The lack of other contemporary bone biopsy study reporting Fe prevents us from comparison. The findings presented here should be specifically addressed in a future research and will require attention prior to implementation of any clinical guideline. If any proposed treatment, however, would change the bone Fe-related morbidity is undetermined.
- Furosemide Increases the Risk of Hyperparathyroidism in Chronic Kidney Disease(2016) VASCO, Raquel F. V.; MOYSES, Rosa M. A.; ZATZ, Roberto; ELIAS, Rosilene M.Background: Diuretics are widely used in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). While thiazide-like diuretics limit urinary calcium excretion, loop diuretics (LD) promote calcium wasting, which might facilitate the development of secondary hyperparathyroidism (HPT2). We sought to investigate, in CKD patients not on dialysis, the influence of either hydrochlorothiazide (Hydro) or furosemide (Furo) on circulating parathyroid hormone (PTH) and whether such actions are determined by the effects of these compounds on calcium excretion. Methods: Electronic charts of all nephrology outpatients (CKD stages 2-5) who were given Hydro or Furo were included. We assessed estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), biochemical parameters and 24-hour calcium excretion. Hyperparathyroidism was defined as PTH > 65 pg/ml. Results: Out of 275 patients, 108 (29%) were taking Hydro and 167 (61%) Furo. Patients on Hydro were younger, mostly female and had higher eGFR. The median 24-hour urinary calcium excretion in the overall cohort was 41 (22, 76), being lower in Furo than in Hydro patients (37 (16, 68) vs. 47 (26, 88) mg/24 h, respectively, p = 0.016). Logistic regression showed that, after adjustment for eGFR, calcium excretion rate was found not to increase the risk ratio for HPT2, where as Furo was a strong predictor of HPT2. Conclusion: Furo increased the risk of HPT2 among CKD patients compared to Hydro. This effect was independent of eGFR or calcium excretion. The use of LD in CKD, currently preferred in advanced stages, should be reappraised. (C) 2016 S. Karger AG, Basel
- Effects of diuretics furosemide and hydrochlorothiazide on CKD-MBD: A prospective randomized study(2021) VASCO, Raquel F. V.; TAKAYAMA, Liliam; PEREIRA, Rosa M. R.; MOYSES, Rosa M. A.; ELIAS, Rosilene M.Although diuretics are often prescribed to control fluid overload, they can change Chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD) parameters. Previous studies have shown an association between diuretic prescription and changes in both calciuria and parathormone levels. However, the causal relationship could not be confirmed. In addition, the effects of diuretics on bone mineral density and turnover markers are yet to be established. To evaluate the effects of diuretics on CKD-MBD, we have performed a prospective randomized trial comparing hydrochlorothiazide with furosemide in a stage 3CKD population followed for 1 year. Furosemide increased bone remodeling and parathormone levels, whereas hydrochlorothiazide attenuated parathyroid hormone rise and decreased bone turnover markers.

- Serum sclerostin is an independent predictor of mortality in hemodialysis patients(2014) GONCALVES, Flavia Leticia Carvalho; ELIAS, Rosilene M.; REIS, Luciene M. dos; GRACIOLLI, Fabiana G.; ZAMPIERI, Fernando Godinho; OLIVEIRA, Rodrigo B.; JORGETTI, Vanda; MOYSES, Rosa M. A.Background: Sclerostin (Scl) has recently emerged as a novel marker of bone remodeling and vascular calcification. However, whether high circulating Scl is also a risk factor for death is not well established. The purpose of this study was to test whether serum Scl would be associated with mortality. Methods: we measured serum Scl in a hemodialysis patients' cohort, which was followed during a ten-year period. Competing risk regression models were applied, as during the follow-up, patients were exposed to both events kidney transplant and death. Results: Ninety-one patients aged 42.3 +/- 18.8 years (55% of male gender, 15% of diabetes) were included. During the follow-up, 32 patients underwent kidney transplant and 26 patients died. Non-survivals presented higher FGF23, higher Scl and lower creatinine. There was an association between all-cause mortality and higher Scl (HR = 2.2), higher age (HR = 1.04) and presence of diabetes (HR = 2.27), by competing risk analyses. Even including potential markers of mortality, as creatinine, FGF 23, and gender, Scl, age and diabetes remained significantly related to higher mortality. Conclusion: Serum Scl is an independent predictor of mortality in dialysis patients. However, whether clinical interventions to modulate Scl would be able to improve these patients survival needs to be determined.

- A Randomized Trial of Zoledronic Acid to Prevent Bone Loss in the First Year after Kidney Transplantation(2019) MARQUES, Igor Denizarde Bacelar; ARAUJO, Maria Julia Correia Lima Nepomuceno; GRACIOLLI, Fabiana Giorgetti; REIS, Luciene Machado dos; PEREIRA, Rosa Maria R.; ALVARENGA, Jackeline C.; CUSTODIO, Melani Ribeiro; JORGETTI, Vanda; ELIAS, Rosilene Motta; MOYSES, Rosa Maria Affonso; DAVID-NETO, EliasBackground Bone and mineral disorders commonly affect kidney transplant (KTx) recipients and have been associated with a high risk of fracture. Bisphosphonates may prevent or treat bone loss in such patients, but there is concern that these drugs might induce adynamic bone disease (ABD). Methods In an open label, randomized trial to assess the safety and efficacy of zoledronate for preventing bone loss in the first year after kidney transplant, we randomized 34 patients before transplant to receive zoledronate or no treatment. We used dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA), high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT), and bone biopsies to evaluate changes in bone in the 32 evaluable participants between the time of KTx and 12 months post-transplant. Results Both groups of patients experienced decreased bone turnover after KTx, but zoledronate itself did not affect this outcome. Unlike previous studies, DXA showed no post-transplant bone loss in either group; we instead observed an increase of bone mineral density in both lumbar spine and total hip sites, with a significant positive effect of zoledronate. However, bone biopsies showed post-transplant impairment of trabecular connectivity (and no benefit from zoledronate); HR-pQCT detected trabecular bone loss at the peripheral skeleton, which zoledronate partially attenuated. Conclusions Current immunosuppressive regimens do not contribute to post-transplant central skeleton trabecular bone loss, and zoledronate does not induce ABD. Because fractures in transplant recipients are most commonly peripheral fractures, clinicians should consider bisphosphonate use in patients at high fracture risk who have evidence of significantly low bone mass at these sites at the time of KTx.
