- 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.
- Decision-making process in the pre-dialysis CKD patients: do anxiety, stress and depression matter?(2018) BEZERRA, Cicero Italo L.; SILVA, Bruno C.; ELIAS, Rosilene M.Background: The transition from pre-dialysis chronic kidney disease (CKD) to renal replacement therapy (RRT) is a stressful event. Anxiety, depression and stress are frequent conditions in this population, and might play a role on the choice of dialysis modality. Methods: This is a prospective study that included stages 4-5 CKD patients during a dialysis multi-disciplinary education program. Demographic, clinical, and laboratory data were evaluated. Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and a Perceived Stress Scale assessed levels of anxiety, depression and stress, respectively. Results: A total of 67 from 190 recruited patients were included (59 +/- 15 years, 54% males). Comparing patients who chose peritoneal dialysis (PD) and hemodialysis (HD), there were no differences on anxiety (p = 0.55), and depression scores (p = 0.467), and stress (p = 0.854). Anxious (p = 0.007) and depressive (p = 0.030) patients presented lower levels of phosphate than those not affected. There was a significant correlation (p < 0.0001) between anxiety and depression scores (R-2 = 0.573), anxiety and stress scores (R-2 = 0.542), depression and stress scores (R-2 = 0.514). At the end of study, 29.8% of patients had already started on dialysis, and scores of anxiety, depression and stress reduced significantly (all p values < 0.0001), from 5.9 +/- 3.3 to 1.8 +/- 1.8, from 7.7 +/- 4.0 to 3.8 +/- 2.9 and from 28.6 +/- 7.8 to 10.0 +/- 6.2, respectively, regardless of which therapy was chosen. Conclusion: Depression, anxiety and perceived stress during final stages of CKD do not seem to be related to the choice of dialysis therapy and tend to decrease after dialysis initiation.
- Impact of Compression Stockings vs. Continuous Positive Airway Pressure on Overnight Fluid Shift and Obstructive Sleep Apnea among Patients on Hemodialysis(2017) SILVA, Bruno C.; SANTOS, Roberto S. S.; DRAGER, Luciano F.; COELHO, Fernando M.; ELIAS, Rosilene M.Introduction: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is common in edematous states, notably in hemodialysis patients. In this population, overnight fluid shift can play an important role on the pathogenesis of OSA. The effect of compression stockings (CS) and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) on fluid shift is barely known. We compared the effects of CS and CPAP on fluid dynamics in a sample of patients with OSA in hemodialysis, through a randomized crossover study. Methods: Each participant performed polysomnography (PSG) at baseline, during CPAP titration, and after 1 week of wearing CS. Neck circumference (NC) and segmental bioelectrical impedance were done before and after PSG. Results: Fourteen patients were studied (53 9 years; 57% men; body mass index 29.7 6.8 kg/m(2)). Apnea hypopnea index (AHI) decreased from 20.8 (14.2; 39.6) at baseline to 7.9 (2.8; 25.4) during CPAP titration and to 16.7 (3.5; 28.9) events/h after wearing CS (CPAP vs. baseline, p = 0.004; CS vs. baseline, p = 0.017; and CPAP vs. CS, p = 0.017). Nocturnal intracellular trunk water was higher after wearing CS in comparison to baseline and CPAP (p = 0.03). CS reduced the fluid accumulated in lower limbs during the day, although not significantly. Overnight fluid shift at baseline, CPAP, and CS was -183 +/- 72, 343 +/- 220, and 290 +/- 213 ml, respectively (p = 0.006). Overnight NC increased at baseline (0.7 +/- 0.4 cm), decreased after CPAP (-1.0 +/- 0.4 cm), and while wearing CS (-0.4 +/- 0.8 cm) (CPAP vs. baseline, p < 0.0001; CS vs. baseline, p = 0.001; CPAP vs. CS, p = 0.01). Conclusion: CS reduced AHI by avoiding fluid retention in the legs, favoring accumulation of water in the intracellular component of the trunk, thus avoiding fluid shift to reach the neck. CPAP improved OSA by exerting local pressure on upper airway, with no impact on fluid redistribution. CPAP performed significantly better than CS for both reduction of AHI and overnight reduction of NC. Complementary studies are needed to elucidate the mechanisms by which CPAP and CS reduce NC.
- High Dialysate Calcium Concentration May Cause More Sympathetic Stimulus During Hemodialysis(2016) JIMENEZ, Zaida N. C.; SILVA, Bruno C.; REIS, Luciene dos; CASTRO, Manuel C. M.; RAMOS, Camila D.; COSTA-HONG, Valeria; BORTOLOTTO, Luiz A.; CONSOLIM-COLOMBO, Fernanda; DOMINGUEZ, Wagner V.; OLIVEIRA, Ivone B.; MOYSES, Rosa M. A.; ELIAS, Rosilene M.Background/Aims: Acute activation of sympathetic activation during hemodialysis is essential to maintain blood pressure (BP), albeit long-term overactivity contributes to higher mortality. Low heart rate variability (HRV), a measure of autonomic nervous system activity, and abnormal ankle-brachial index (ABI) are associated with higher mortality in patients on hemodialysis. In this study, we assessed HRV and ABI pre and post dialysis in incident patients on hemodialysis using high (1.75mmol/l) and low (1.25mmol/l) dialysate calcium concentration (DCa). Methods: HRV was measured as the ratio between low frequency and high frequency power (LF/HF). Thirty patients (age 47 16 years, 67% men) were studied in two consecutive mid-week hemodialysis sessions. Results: Mean BP variation was positive with DCa 1.75 and negative with DCa 1.25 [4.0 (-6.0, 12.2 mmHg) vs. -3.2 (-9.8, 1.3 mmHg); p=0.050]. Reduction of ABI from pre to post HD was related to higher sympathetic activity (p=0.031). The increase in LF/HF ratio was higher with DCa 1.75 (58.3% vs. 41.7% in DCa 1.75 and 1.25, respectively, RR 2.8; p=0.026). Conclusion: Although higher DCa is associated with better hemodynamic tolerability during hemodialysis, this occurs at the expense of increased sympathetic activity. Higher sympathetic activity was associated with a decrease of ABI during hemodialysis. (C) 2016 The Author(s) Published by S. Karger AG, Basel
- Hypokalemia and hyperkalemia in patients on peritoneal dialysis: incidence and associated factors(2020) GONCALVES, Fernanda A.; JESUS, Jessica Santos de; CORDEIRO, Lilian; PIRACIABA, Maria Clara T.; ARAUJO, Luiza K. R. P. de; MARTINS, Carolina Steller Wagner; DALBONI, Maria Aparecida; PEREIRA, Benedito J.; SILVA, Bruno C.; MOYSES, Rosa Maria A.; ABENSUR, Hugo; ELIAS, Rosilene M.Background Hypokalemia is a well-described electrolyte disturbance in patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD). Hyperkalemia, however, is still overlooked, although it also represents a risk factor for mortality. Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and/or angiotensin receptor blockers (ACE/ARB), diuretics, and proton pump inhibitor (PPI) can interfere with potassium levels in these patients. Methods This is a retrospective study that evaluated monthly serum potassium in a 5-year period. Serum potassium disturbances were evaluated as time-average and number of hypo- and hyperkalemia episodes per patient. Prescribed medication such as ACE/ARB, diuretics, and omeprazole were recorded. Results We evaluated 2025 potassium measurements obtained from 146 patients on PD. Serum potassium ranged from 2.5 to 8.3 mEq/L with an average of 4.72 +/- 0.74 mEq/L. Hypokalemia was found in 59 measurements (2.9%) obtained from 35 patients (23.9%) whereas hyperkalemia was demonstrated in 269 (13.3%) measurements obtained from 74 patients (50.7%). Hypokalemia was associated with low albumin (p = 0.022), and omeprazole use (p = 0.024). Black race was a protector factor (p = 0.031). Omeprazole-associated hypokalemia was seen only in non-anuric patients and remained an independent risk factor even after adjustments. Patients who had hyperkalemia were more likely to be anuric (p = 0.001) and in use of furosemide (p = 0.0001). Conclusion Hyperkalemia and hypokalemia are very frequent in patients on PD and should be closely monitored. Interventional studies should address the impact of discontinuing omeprazole in the levels of potassium.
- High-Flux versus High-Retention-Onset Membranes: In vivo Small and Middle Molecules Kinetics in Convective Dialysis Modalities(2020) CORDEIRO, Isis S. F.; CORDEIRO, Lilian; WAGNER, Carolina S.; ARAUJO, Luiza Karla R. P.; PEREIRA, Benedito J.; ABENSUR, Hugo; ELIAS, Rosilene M.; SILVA, Bruno C.Background: Patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (HD) exhibit increased levels of uremic toxins, which are associated with poor outcomes. Recently, new dialysis membranes have allowed clearance of solutes with higher molecular weight, without significant albumin losses high-retention-onset-HD (HRO-HD). Methods: Prospective crossover trial, in which 16 prevalent patients switched from high-flux HD (HF-HD) to online hemodiafiltration (olHDF) and HRO-HD for 4 weeks. The following variables were evaluated: pre- and post-dialysis serum concentrations of albumin, urea, phosphate (P), beta-2 microglobulin (beta M-2), and total mass (TM) extraction and dialyzer clearance of urea, P, and beta M-2. Results: Comparing HF-HD, olHDF, and HRO-HD, respectively, there were no differences regarding pre-dialysis serum concentrations of albumin (3.94 +/- 0.36, 4.06 +/- 0.22, and 3.93 +/- 0.41 g/dL, p = 0.495), urea (166 +/- 29, 167 +/- 30, and 164 +/- 27 mg/dL, p = 0.971), P (4.9 +/- 2.1, 5.2 +/- 1.6, and 4.9 +/- 2.1 mg/dL, p = 0.879), and beta M-2 (31.3 +/- 7.1, 32.6 +/- 8.6, and 33.7 +/- 5.9 mu g/mL, p = 0.646). beta M-2 clearance was significantly lower in HF-HD in comparison to both olHDF and HRO-HD: 43 (37-53) versus 64 (48-85) mL/min, p = 0.013, and 69 (58-86) mL/min, p = 0.015, respectively. Post-dialysis beta M-2 serum concentration was higher in HF-HD in comparison to olHDF and HRO-HD: 11.6 (9.6-12.4) vs. 5.7 (4.5-7.0) mu g/mL, p = 0.001, and 5.6 (5.3-7.6) mu g/mL, p = 0.001, respectively. TM extraction of urea, P, and beta M-2 were similar across the 3 dialysis modalities. Conclusions: olHDF and HRO-HD were superior to HF-HD regarding beta M-2 clearance, leading to lower post-dialysis beta M-2 levels.
- Hemodynamic Behavior During Hemo-dialysis: Effects of Dialysate Concentrations of Bicarbonate and Potassium(2014) SILVA, Bruno C.; FREITAS, Geraldo R. R.; SILVA, Vitor B.; ABENSUR, Hugo; LUDERS, Claudio; PEREIRA, Benedito J.; OLIVEIRA, Rodrigo B. de; CASTRO, Manuel C. M.; MOYSES, Rosa M. A.; ELIAS, Rosilene M.Background/Aims: Ultrafiltration that occurs during hemodialysis (HD) promotes profound alterations in a relatively short period of time. The dialysate content of bicarbonate (DBic) and potassium (DK) may have impact over intradialytic hemodynamics, which goes beyond ultrafiltration, and its impact was evaluated in a prospective cohort. Methods: 30 patients under HD were submitted to hemodynamic assessment (HA) at the beginning and at the end of HD sessions, through a non-invasive method. Serum minus dialysate potassium concentration was expressed as K-Gap. Cardiac index (CI) and peripheral arterial resistance (PAR) variation (post-HD minus pre-HD) were expressed as Delta CI and Delta PAR. Dialysate content of sodium and calcium were expressed as DNa and DCa, respectively. Results: Mean DNa, DK and DBic were, respectively, 136.4 +/- 1.1, 2.1 +/- 0.6 and 38.2 +/- 2.1 mEq/L. In 15 patients, DCa was > 1.5 mmol/L and in the other 15 patients <= 1.5 mmol/L. The K-Gap ranged from 1.4 to 5.1 mEq/l (median 3.0 mEq/L). There was a reduction in post-HD CI and systolic blood pressure (Delta CI = -0.72l/min/m(2) and -11.3 +/- 15.1 mmHg, respectively, p < 0.001 for both). Conversely, Delta PAR increased (Delta PAR = 272dyn.s/cm(5), p < 0.001). Lower post-HD CI was was associated to higher DBic (p = 0.0013) and lower K-Gap (p = 0.026). In multivariate analysis, Delta CI was dependent on DBic and K-Gap, whereas Delta PAR was dependent on dialysate calcium during HD. Conclusion: We confirmed that Na and Ca dialysate content exerts and important role on hemodynamic during HD. In addition, our findings pointed out that higher dialysate concentrations of bicarbonate and potassium promote lower cardiac performance at the end of hemodialysis session.
- Parathyroidectomized patients have impaired capacity of peripheral vascular constriction during hemodialysis(2016) SILVA, Bruno C.; MOYSES, Rosa M. A.; SILVA, Vitor B.; FREITAS, Geraldo R. R.; ELIAS, Rosilene M.Parathyroidectomy (PTx) seems to improve cardiovascular outcomes and reduce blood pressure levels. However, the effect of PTx on hemodynamic changes during hemodialysis (HD) is still overlooked. This was a prospective cohort design. Patients with end-stage renal disease on maintenance HD were included. Diabetes and nonsinusal rhythm were exclusion criteria. History of PTx was recorded. Finometer monitor was used to access parameters immediately pre- and post-HD sessions. Cardiac index (CI) variation (CI) and peripheral arterial resistance variation (PAR) were the variables of interest. Biochemical and echocardiographic data were also obtained. PTx patients (n=11) were matched to non-PTx patients (n=20). PAR was lower in PTx group in comparison with non-PTx group (P=0.039), which was independent of parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels. Multiple regression analysis showed that PTx, CI, and dialysate calcium remained independently associated with PAR variation and even adjusted for ultrafiltration rate (adjusted r(2)=0.64). In conclusion, parathyroidectomized patients have impaired capacity of vasoconstriction in response to ultrafiltration, an effect independent of serum PTH levels. Further studies are needed to elucidate mechanisms explaining the interaction between PTx and systemic vascular tonus.
- High Dialysate Calcium Concentration is Associated with Worsening Left Ventricular Function(2019) SILVA, V. B.; MACEDO, T. A.; BRAGA, T. M. S.; SILVA, B. C.; GRACIOLLI, F. G.; V, W. Dominguez; DRAGER, L. F.; MOYSES, R. M.; ELIAS, R. M.Dialysate calcium concentration (d[Ca]) might have a cardiovascular impact in patients on haemodialysis (HD) since a higher d[Ca] determines better hemodynamic tolerability. We have assessed the influence of d[Ca] on global longitudinal strain (GLS) by two-dimensional echocardiography using speckle-tracking imaging before and in the last hour of HD. This is an observational crossover study using d[Ca] 1.75 mmol/L and 1.25 mmol/L. Ultrafiltration was the same between interventions; patients aged 44 +/- 13 years (N = 19). The 1.75 mmol/L d[Ca] was associated with lighter drop of blood pressure. Post HD serum total calcium was higher with d[Ca] 1.75 than with 1.25 mmol/L (11.5 +/- 0.8 vs. 9.1 +/- 0.5 mg/dL, respectively, p < 0.01). In almost all segments strain values were significantly worse in the peak HD with 1.75 mmol/L d[Ca] than with 1.25 mmol/L d[Ca]. GLS decreased from -19.8 +/- 3.7% at baseline to -17.3 +/- 2.9% and -16.1 +/- 2.6% with 1.25 d[Ca] and 1.75 d[Ca] mmol/L, respectively (p < 0.05 for both d[Ca] vs. baseline and 1.25 d[Ca] vs. 1.75 d[Ca] mmol/L). Factors associated with a worse GLS included transferrin, C-reactive protein, weight lost, and post dialysis serum total calcium. We concluded that d[Ca] of 1.75 mmol/L was associated with higher post dialysis serum calcium, which contributed to a worse ventricular performance. Whether this finding would lead to myocardial stunning needs further investigation.
