- Predialysis serum phosphate levels according to hemodialysis shift: Circadian rhythm matters(2021) DARIO, Ketili Alice; DALBONI, Maria Aparecida; SILVA, Bruno C. da; MARTINS, Carolina Steller Wagner; ARAUJO, Luiza Karla R. P. de; ELIAS, Rosilene M.; MOYSES, Rosa M. A.
- 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.
- Chronic kidney disease is a main confounding factor for 25-vitamin D measurement(2020) MACHADO, Hanna Karla Andrade Guapyassú; MARTINS, Carolina Steller Wagner; JORGETTI, Vanda; ELIAS, Rosilene Motta; MOYSÉS, Rosa Maria AffonsoAbstract Background: Current guidelines recommend assessment of 25-vitamin D status in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Although significant differences among assays have been described, the impact of CKD on this variability has never been tested. Methods: We tested the variability between two 25-vitamin D assays in patients with CKD (eGFR < 60 mL/min/1.73m2) who had consecutive 25-vitamin D measurements in 2015 (Assay 1 - Diasorin LIASON 25 TOTAL - D assay®) and 2016 (Assay 2 - Beckman Coulter Unicel Xl 800®). The cohort consisted of 791 adult patients (122 with normal renal function and 669 with CKD - 33, 30, and 37% in stages 3, 4, and 5 on dialysis, respectively). Results: Levels of 25-vitamin D were lower and the prevalence of hypovitaminosis D using assay 1 was higher than using assay 2 in patients with CKD, regardless of similar levels of calcium, phosphate, and parathyroid hormone. As kidney function decreased, the percentage of disagreement between the assays increased. Conclusion: There is a noteworthy variability between assays in patients with CKD such that the diagnosis of hypovitaminosis D is modified. The mechanism behind this result is still unclear and might be due to a possible interference in the analytical process. However, the clinical significance is unquestionable, as the supplementation of vitamin D can be erroneously prescribed to these patients.
