Chronic kidney disease (CKD) often requires several dietary adjustments to control the disease-related disturbances. This is challenging for both patients and healthcare providers, and particularly for dietitians, who deal closely with the poor adherence to dietary recommendations. Factors associated with poor adherence within the CKD scenario and the need for a shift in the paradigm have already been indicated in several studies; however, rarely are any different and/or potential strategies actually formulated in order to change this paradigm. In this review, we aimed to explore the concepts and factors surrounding adherence to dietary recommendations in CKD and further describe certain potential strategies for a nutritional counseling approach. Such strategies, while poorly explored within CKD, have shown positive results in other chronic disease scenarios. It is timely, therefore, for healthcare providers to acquire these new counseling skills; nevertheless, this would require a rethinking of the traditional attitudes and approaches in order to build a partnership, based on a nonjudgmental and compassionate style in order to guide behavior change. The reflections presented in this review may contribute towards enhancing motivation and the adherence to dietary recommendations in CKD patients.

Volume overload in haemodialysis (HD) patients associates with hypertension and cardiac dysfunction and is a major risk factor for all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in this population. The diagnosis of volume excess and estimation of dry weight is based largely on clinical criteria and has a notoriously poor diagnostic accuracy. The search for accurate and objective methods to evaluate dry weight and to diagnose subclinical volume overload has been intensively pursued over the last 3 decades. Most methods have not been tested in appropriate clinical trials and their usefulness in clinical practice remains uncertain, except for bioimpedance spectroscopy and lung ultrasound (US). Bioimpedance spectroscopy is possibly the most widely used method to subjectively quantify fluid distributions over body compartments and produces reliable and reproducible results. Lung US provides reliable estimates of extravascular water in the lung, a critical parameter of the central circulation that in large part reflects the left ventricular end-diastolic pressure. To maximize cardiovascular tolerance, fluid removal in volume-expanded HD patients should be gradual and distributed over a sufficiently long time window. This review summarizes current knowledge about the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of volume overload in HD patients.

Kidney fibrosis has been reported to be a prognostic factor in chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression. Previous studies have shown that the assessment of urinary Dickkopf-3 (uDKK3), a stress-induced tubular epithelial-derived profibrotic glycoprotein, might be a potential tubulointerstitial fibrosis biomarker and might identify patients at short-term risk of glomerular filtration rate loss. We aim to evaluate uDKK3 as a potential biomarker for progression of CKD in a cohort with various aetiologies of CKD and subsequently in an overt diabetic nephropathy cohort.

Data directly demonstrating the relationship between urinary oxalate (UOx) excretion and stone events in those with enteric hyperoxaluria (EH) are limited. Therefore, we assessed the relationship between UOx excretion and risk of kidney stone events in a retrospective population-based EH cohort. In all, 297 patients from Olmsted County, Minnesota were identified with EH based upon having a 24-h UOx ?40?mg/24?h preceded by a diagnosis or procedure associated with malabsorption. Diagnostic codes and urologic procedures consistent with kidney stones during follow-up after baseline UOx were considered a new stone event. Logistic regression and accelerated failure time modeling were performed as a function of UOx excretion to predict the probability of new stone event and the annual rate of stone events, respectively, with adjustment for urine calcium and citrate. Mean?±?standard deviation age was 51.4?±?11.4?years and 68% were female. Median (interquartile range) UOx was 55.4 (46.6–73.0) mg/24?h and 81 patients had one or more stone event during a median follow-up time of 4.9 (2.8–7.8) years. Higher UOx was associated with a higher probability of developing a stone event (P?<?0.01) and predicted an increased annual risk of kidney stones (P?=?0.001). Estimates derived from these analyses suggest that a 20% decrease in UOx is associated with 25% reduction in the annual odds of a future stone event. Thus, these data demonstrate an association between baseline UOx and stone events in EH patients and highlight the potential benefit of strategies to reduce UOx in this patient group.

Serum phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R) antibody (SAb) and glomerular deposits of PLA2R antigen (GAg) have been tested widely in idiopathic membranous nephropathy (MN). Recently, we noticed a special form of PLA2R-associated MN with positive circulating PLA2R antibody but negative PLA2R deposits in the glomeruli by immunofluorescence on frozen tissue (IF-F). The significance of this form of PLA2R-associated MN is yet to be elucidated. This study aimed to explore the clinicopathological features of these PLA2R-associated MN patients.

Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have an increased risk of peripheral arterial disease (PAD). The ankle–brachial index (ABI), a noninvasive measure of PAD, is a predictor of adverse events among individuals with CKD. In general populations, changes in ABI have been associated with mortality, but this association is not well understood among patients with CKD.

The diverse risk factors for kidney impairments suggest that kidney function decline is more likely to occur in individuals with a broadly constituted health deficit. Here we conducted a longitudinal cohort study to evaluate the association of baseline frailty status with the risk of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) decline.

Among patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), the circulating cardiac biomarkers soluble ST2 (SST2), galectin-3, growth differentiation factor-15 (GDF-15), N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and high-sensitivity troponin-T (hsTnT) possibly reflect pathophysiologic processes and are associated with clinical cardiovascular disease. Whether these biomarkers are associated with electrocardiographic findings is not known. The aim of this study was to test the association between serum cardiac biomarkers and the presence of electrocardiographic changes potentially indicative of subclinical myocardial disease in patients with CKD.

Lung ultrasound (US) reliably estimates lung water and it is increasingly applied in clinical practice in dialysis patients. A semi-quantitative US score summing up the US-B lines (an equivalent of B lines in the standard chest X-ray) at 28 sites in the intercostal spaces (Jambrik et al. Usefulness of ultrasound lung comets as a non-radiologic sign of extravascular lung water. Am J Cardiol 2004; 93: 1265–1270) is the most used score.
