    Abstract Background: The association between N-terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) level and long-term mortality in Japanese hemodialysis patients has not been fully assessed.
    Methods: This prospective, multicenter study included 1428 hemodialysis outpatients. Baseline NT-proBNP levels were measured at the first hemodialysis session of the week and participants were followed for 5 years. The areas under the curve were calculated from receiver operating characteristic curves. Groups determined by quartiles of baseline NT-proBNP level were assessed by the Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test. The association between NT-proBNP level and mortality was assessed using multivariate Cox proportional hazards models.
    Results: During the 5-year follow-up, we observed 370 deaths and 256 censored cases. The areas under the curve of pre-hemodialysis NT-proBNP for all-cause mortality and cardiovascular disease mortality after 1 year were 0.75 and 0.78, respectively, and significantly greater than the areas under the curve at the 3- and 5-year follow-up. Cut-off values for all-cause mortality and cardiovascular disease mortality after 1 year were 4550 and 5467 ng/L, respectively (sensitivity: 82% and 81%; specificity: 59% and 64%). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that the group with pre-hemodialysis NT-proBNP ≥ 8805 ng/L had increased all-cause mortality (P < 0.001) and cardiovascular disease mortality (P < 0.001). Finally, multivariate Cox analysis showed that NT-proBNP level was associated with all-cause mortality (P < 0.001) and cardiovascular disease mortality (P = 0.004) independently from other clinical parameters.
    Conclusion: NT-proBNP is a useful marker to predict both all-cause and cardiovascular disease mortality in hemodialysis patients.

    Abstract Background: A few previous clinical studies have shown that chloride (Cl) contributes to the progression and development of hypertension or proteinuria. Therefore, we aimed to determine whether hyperchloremia is associated with hypertension or proteinuria in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and to define the relationships between the reduction in serum Cl concentration associated with CKD treatment and improvements in hypertension and/or proteinuria.
    Methods: We performed a retrospective observational study of new or referred patients with CKD who had hyperchloremia, moderate proteinuria, renal dysfunction, and hypertension. Patients taking medication for metabolic acidosis or with a history of dialysis were excluded. The participants' systolic and diastolic blood pressure (BP), serum sodium (Na) and Cl concentrations, and urinary protein (UP) concentration were measured at baseline and after 1 month of CKD treatment.
    Results: Fifty-one patients with CKD were included in the study. Their serum Cl concentration independently correlated with sBP and UP at baseline (P = 0.022 and P = 0.033, respectively). After 1 month's CKD treatment, their serum Na and Cl concentrations, sBP, and UP were significantly lower. The change in sBP during the month (ΔsBP) correlated with the change in serum Cl (ΔCl) (P = 0.012) but not with the change in serum Na. Multivariate analysis showed that ΔsBP was independently associated with ΔCl (P = 0.029).
    Conclusions: Hyperchloremia is an independent predictor of hypertension and proteinuria for patients with CKD.

    Abstract Background: The association between N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and stroke in Japanese hemodialysis (HD) outpatients is unclear. Therefore, in this study, we investigate whether high NT-proBNP levels are associated with future stroke events in this population.
    Methods: This was a multicenter prospective observational study with post hoc analysis. Baseline NT-proBNP levels were measured at the first HD session of the week and classified into tertiles (first tertile: < 2255 pg/mL; second tertile: ≥ 2255 and < 5657 pg/mL; third tertile: ≥ 5657 pg/mL). Overall hospitalization-free survival rates were compared using the Kaplan-Meier method. The association between NT-proBNP level and hospitalization for stroke was assessed using the multivariate Cox proportional hazards models.
    Results: During a 5-year follow-up of 1,229 patients, 103 (8.4%) were hospitalized and 23 (1.9%) died from stroke. The hospitalization-free survival rate for ischemic stroke was lowest in the third tertile (P < 0.01). The crude hazard ratio (HR) of hospitalization was higher in the third tertile compared with the first tertile for both ischemic stroke (HR: 3.92; 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.08-7.37; P < 0.01) and hemorrhagic stroke (HR: 3.75; 95% CI 1.35-10.43; P = 0.01). On multivariate Cox hazard analysis, the adjusted HRs for ischemic stroke were higher in the third tertile. The hospitalization-free survival rates for hemorrhagic stroke and the adjusted HRs did not differ significantly.
    Conclusions: Elevated NT-proBNP level was associated with hospitalization for ischemic stroke, suggesting that NT-proBNP level is a valid biomarker for predicting hospitalization for ischemic stroke in HD outpatients.

    Abstract The ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) of rat kidneys is used as a model of acute kidney injury. Salt-sensitive hypertension occurs in rats after IRI, and the distal nephrons play important roles in the development of this condition. We investigated the role of the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) in the progression of IRI-induced salt-sensitive hypertension in rats. Fourteen days after right-side nephrectomy, IRI was induced by clamping the left renal artery, with sham surgery performed as a control. IRI rats were provided with normal water or water with 1.0% NaCl (IRI/NaCl), or they were implanted with an osmotic mini-pump to infuse vehicle or aldosterone (IRI/Aldo). Esaxerenone, a non-steroidal MR blocker (MRB), was administered to IRI/NaCl and IRI/Aldo rats for 6 weeks. MR expression increased by day 7 post-IRI. Blood pressure and urinary protein excretion increased in IRI/NaCl and IRI/Aldo rats over the 6-week period, but these effects were negated by MRB administration. The MRB attenuated the expression of the gamma-epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) and renal damage. The ENaC inhibitor, amiloride, ameliorated hypertension and renal damage in IRI/NaCl and IRI/Aldo rats. Our findings thus showed that MR upregulation may play a pivotal role in ENaC-mediated sodium uptake in rats after IRI, resulting in the development of salt-sensitive hypertension in response to salt overload or the activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system.

    Abstract The transcription factors hypoxia-inducible factor-1α and -2α (HIF-1α/2α) are the major regulators of the cellular response to hypoxia and play a key role in renal fibrosis associated with acute and chronic kidney disease. Jumonji domain-containing 1a (JMJD1A), a histone H3 lysine 9 (H3K9) demethylase, is reported to be an important target gene of HIF-α. However, whether JMJD1A and H3K9 methylation status play a role in renal fibrosis is unclear. Here, we investigated the involvement of HIF-α, JMJD1A, and monomethylated/dimethylated H3K9 (H3K9me1/H3K9me2) levels in unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO)-induced renal fibrosis in mice. Intraperitoneal administration of FG4592, an inhibitor of HIF-α prolyl hydroxylase, which controls HIF-α protein stability, significantly attenuated renal fibrosis on

    Abstract Background: The effect of dialytic modality at the start of renal replacement therapy on prognosis is controversial.
    Methods: This multicenter, prospective cohort study included patients undergoing incident hemodialysis (HD) (n = 646) and peritoneal dialysis (PD) (n = 72). We excluded patients who lacked complete data for 3 months. One-to-one propensity score (PS) matching was performed before between-group comparison of survival rates (Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test) and identification of factors affecting prognosis (Cox proportional-hazards regression analysis).
    Results: We enrolled 621 and 71 patients undergoing HD and PD, respectively (overall mean ± standard deviation age: 74 ± 13 years); 20% had cardiovascular disease (CVD). The median follow-up period was 41 (interquartile range 24-66) months. Following PS matching, we analyzed 65 patients undergoing HD and PD each. The 5-year overall survival rates did not differ between the groups (P = 0.97). The PD group exhibited a better CVD-related survival rate (P = 0.03). PD yielded adjusted hazard ratios for all-cause and CVD-related mortality of 0.99 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.49-1.99, P = 0.97) and 3.92 (95% CI 1.05-14.7, P = 0.04), respectively. Age (P < 0.001) and the use of a central venous catheter (CVC) at dialytic initiation (P = 0.02) were independent risks for all-cause mortality; whereas, only the use of a CVC (P = 0.01) was an independent risk for CVD-related mortality.
    Conclusion: Although no differences were observed in overall survival, CVD-related survival may be better with dialytic initiation with PD than with HD.

    Abstract Systemic symptoms such as the ectopic calcification, atrophy of skin and muscle, and impaired sexual function observed in chronic kidney diseases (CKD) have been reported to coincide with those observed in geriatric symptoms. Regarding the kidney, clinical/pathological characteristics in CKD patients also coincide with those in the aging kidney. These findings suggest common mechanisms in the development of both CKD and aging. Our investigation of aging factors associated with renal fibrosis in IgA nephropathy patients revealed a significant correlation between accumulation of cells with an arrested cell cycle and decreased expression of Klotho protein. Because cell cycle arrest has a protective effect on organs in the acute phase, the proposed therapeutic target against the aging process is to maintain expression of Klotho protein. In addition, it is recognized that TGF-β1 plays a central role in the development of renal fibrosis. However, TGF-β1 has also been reported to decrease expression of Klotho protein. In this report, we provide an interpretation of our new treatment strategy which involves controlling histone methylation.

    Abstract Background: This study aims to compare patency rates of the 0- and 30-s (sec) balloon dilation time in hemodialysis (HD) patients with restenosis after percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA).
    Methods: The patients who underwent PTA within 6 months for failed arteriovenous fistula at the forearm were randomly assigned the 0-s or 30-s dilation time group. Effect of dilation time on the 3- and 6-month patency rates after PTA was examined.
    Results: Fifty patients were enrolled in this study. The 3-month patency rate in the 30-s dilation group was better than that in the 0-s dilation group (P = 0.0050), while the 6-month patency rates did not show a significant difference between the two groups (P = 0.28). Cox's proportional hazard model revealed that 30-s of inflation time (hazard ratio 0.027; P = 0.0072), diameter of the proximal (hazard ratio 0.32; P = 0.031), and dilation pressure (hazard ratio 0.63; P = 0.014) were associated with better 3-month patency. Dilation pressure between previous and present PTA did not differ in the 0-s (P = 0.15) and 30-s dilation groups (P = 0.16). The 6-month patency rate of the present PTA in the 30-s dilation group was higher than that of the previous PTA (P = 0.015). The visual analog scale did not differ between the two groups (P = 0.51).
    Conclusion: The presenting data suggest that 30-s dilation potentially results in a better 3-month patency rate than 0-s dilation in HD patients with restenosis after PTA.

    Abstract Background: Although malnutrition and bone fracture are both major complications in patients undergoing hemodialysis, their association has not been clarified. The aim of our study was to clarify the association between the geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI), an indicator of nutritional status, and the incidence of bone fractures in patients undergoing hemodialysis. Methods: We included 1342 registered patients undergoing hemodialysis and performed a post hoc analysis. We divided patients into the high GNRI group (≥92), considered to have a low risk of malnutrition, and the low GNRI group (<92), considered to have a high risk of malnutrition. Fracture-free survival in the low and high GNRI groups was evaluated by the Kaplan–Meier method. Cox proportional hazards models were used to identify the risk factors for fractures requiring hospitalization. All results were stratified by sex. Results: New bone fractures developed in 108 (8.0%) patients in 5 years of follow-up. Bone fractures occurred more frequently in the low GNRI group compared with the high GNRI group (HR: 3.51, 95% CI: 1.91–6.42, p < 0.01 in males; HR: 2.47, 95% CI: 1.52–4.03, p < 0.01 in females). A low GNRI was significantly associated with an increased incidence of bone fractures, even after adjustment for covariates. However, the serum levels of calcium, phosphate, parathyroid hormone, and alkaline phosphatase were not associated with the incidence of bone fractures. Conclusions: A low GNRI is an independent risk factor for bone fractures in patients undergoing hemodialysis. Early intervention for the low GNRI group may be important in preventing the occurrence of fractures.

    Abstract Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a potential therapeutic tool for preventing the progression of acute kidney injury (AKI) to chronic kidney disease (CKD). Herein, we investigated the localization and maintenance of engrafted human bone marrow-derived MSCs in rats subjected to a renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) and compared the effectiveness of two intravascular injection routes via the renal artery or inferior vena cava. Renal artery injection of MSCs was more effective than intravenous injection at reducing IRI-induced renal fibrosis. Additionally, MSCs injected through the renal artery persisted in injured kidneys for over 21 days, whereas MSCs injected through the inferior vena cava survived for less than 7 days. This difference may be attributed to the antifibrotic effects of MSCs. Interestingly, MSCs injected through the renal artery were localized primarily in glomeruli until day 3 post-IRI, and they decreased in number thereafter. In contrast, the number of MSCs localized in tubular walls, and the interstitium increased gradually until day 21 post-IRI. This localization change may be related to areas of damage caused by IRI because ischemia-induced AKI leads to tubular cell damage. Taken together, these findings suggest renal artery injection of MSCs may be useful for preventing the progression of AKI to CKD.
