    Abstract Drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS), also known as drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome (DIHS), is a severe drug-induced hypersensitivity reaction with 10% mortality. To date, there is insufficient evidence regarding the association between DRESS/DIHS and serum levels of vancomycin (VCM). Here, we report the case of a 46-year-old woman undergoing peritoneal dialysis who developed VCM-induced DRESS/DIHS. She was hospitalized for peritonitis with abdominal pain and treated with VCM. On day 10 of hospitalization, her abdominal symptoms improved; however, fever, skin rash, lymphadenopathy, eosinophilia, atypical lymphocytes, and liver and renal dysfunction developed. Based on the clinical course and laboratory findings, we diagnosed the patient with DRESS/DIHS due to VCM. Since her serum VCM concentration was high at 39.8 μg/mL, hemodialysis (HD) was performed to remove VCM, which caused her symptoms to improve. However, serum levels of VCM rebounded and the same symptoms recurred. Therefore, we re-performed HD; no further relapse occurred. This clinical course showed that increased serum VCM levels were associated with DRESS/DIHS onset and severity, suggesting that it is a blood level-dependent disease and that removal of VCM by HD is a potential therapeutic option.

    Abstract Introduction: Despite excellent biocompatibility, insertion of silicone peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheters can induce minor foreign body reaction, affecting long-term patient outcomes. We evaluated the effect of eosinophilic reaction associated with PD catheter insertion on outcomes of patients initiating PD.
    Methods: Eosinophilic reaction to PD catheter insertion was defined as the ratio of peripheral blood eosinophil count at 1 week after insertion (E1W) to pre-insertion eosinophil count (E0), and the association of E1W/E0 with technique survival, peritonitis-free survival, and heart failure (HF)-related hospitalization-free survival was analyzed.
    Results: This retrospective cohort study included 116 patients (89 male patients) who underwent PD catheter insertion between January 2008 and June 2018 (61.3 ± 12.9 years). The follow-up duration was 46.2 (23.8-75.3) months. E1W was significantly higher than E0 (median, 333 vs. 234/μL, p < 0.001), with a median E1W/E0 of 1.54. The log-rank test showed that technique survival, peritonitis-free survival, and HF-related hospitalization-free survival were significantly better in patients with E1W/E0 < 1.54 than in those with E1W/E0 ≥ 1.54 (p = 0.002, <0.001, and <0.001, respectively). By the Cox regression analysis adjusted for age, sex, the Charlson comorbidity index, the estimated glomerular filtration rate, and the geriatric nutritional risk index, E1W/E0 remained a significant risk factor for technique failure, peritonitis, and hospitalization for HF (hazard ratio (HR) 1.68, p = 0.01; HR 2.19, p < 0.001; HR 2.15, p < 0.001, respectively).
    Conclusion: Eosinophilic reaction at the time of PD catheter insertion is a novel marker that may predict outcomes in patients initiating PD.

    Abstract Despite the superiority of peritoneal dialysis (PD) over hemodialysis (HD) regarding health-related quality of life (HRQOL), the specific HRQOL domain(s) that predict unplanned HD transfer remains uncertain. In this cohort study, we assessed the HRQOL of 50 outpatients undergoing PD using the Japanese version 1.3 Kidney Disease Quality of Life-Short Form from March 2017 to March 2018 and prospectively analyzed the association of each HRQOL component with HD transfer until June 2021. During the follow-up (41.5 (13.0-50.1) months), 21 patients were transferred to HD. In a multivariate Cox proportional hazards model adjusted for age, sex, PD vintage, urine output, Charlson comorbidity index, and incremental shuttle walking test, a higher sleep score was significantly associated with lower HD transfer rates (HR 0.70 per 10,

    Abstract Patients with end-stage renal disease are less likely to choose peritoneal dialysis (PD) as renal replacement therapy (RRT). The reasons for this biased selection are still poorly understood. In this study, we evaluated the effect of the timing of RRT education on PD selection. This single-center retrospective observational study included patients who initiated maintenance dialysis at our hospital between April 2014 and July 2021. A logistic regression analysis was performed to investigate the association of RRT education timing with PD selection. Among the 355 participants (median age [IQR] 70 (59−79) years; 28.7% female), 53 patients (14.9%) and 302 patients (85.1%) selected PD and hemodialysis, respectively. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that high estimated glomerular filtration (eGFR) at RRT education positively predicted PD selection (p < 0.05), whereas old age (p < 0.01) and high Charlson comorbidity index (p < 0.05) were negative predictors of PD selection. Female sex (p = 0.44), welfare public assistance (p = 0.78), living alone (p = 0.25), high geriatric nutritional risk index (p = 0.10) and high eGFR at first visit to the nephrology department (p = 0.83) were not significantly associated with PD selection. Late RRT education could increase the biased selection of dialysis modality.

    Abstract Purpose: Obesity may negatively impact the clinical outcomes of patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD). However, the impact of obesity on PD-related outcomes remains unclear. We herein examined the association of high body mass index (BMI) with complete hemodialysis (HD) transfer, transition to HD and PD/HD hybrid therapy, peritonitis, catheter exit-site and tunnel infection (ESI/TI), and heart failure-related hospitalization.
    Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 120 patients who underwent PD-catheter insertion between January 2008 and June 2018. BMI ≥ 25 kg/m
    Results: The follow-up duration was 46.2 (23.3-75.3) months. The time until transfer to HD and hybrid therapy was significantly shorter in the high BMI group than that in the low BMI group, whereas the time until HD transfer was not significantly different between the two groups (P < 0.001 and 0.18, respectively). Peritonitis-free and ESI/TI-free survivals were significantly shorter in the high BMI group than those in the low BMI group (P = 0.006 and 0.03, respectively). After adjusting for age, sex, diabetes mellitus, and estimated glomerular filtration rate, high BMI remained a significant risk factor for transferring to HD and hybrid therapy, peritonitis, and ESI/TI (hazard ratio [HR] 2.60, P < 0.001; HR 2.08, P = 0.01; HR 2.64, P = 0.02, respectively).
    Conclusion: BMI ≥ 25 kg/m

    Abstract Purpose: Remote patient monitoring (RPM) has contributed to improved patient-centered outcomes and prognosis in patients with end-stage renal disease on automated peritoneal dialysis (APD). However, evidence from prospective trials is lacking.
    Methods: The participants (n = 15; median age: 65 years; males: 10; peritoneal dialysis vintage: 6.4 ± 3.5 years) randomly received APD therapy using the Kaguya® APD system either with or without the connective use of the cloud-based RPM software Sharesource® for 12 weeks. The primary outcome was patient satisfaction assessed using a modified nine-item Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire for Medication (TSQM-9) questionnaire. The secondary outcomes were healthcare resource consumption, the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) subscales assessed with the Kidney Disease Quality of Life-Short Form questionnaire, and clinical laboratory parameters.
    Results: Significant improvements were observed in the TSQM-9 subscales of Effectiveness (64.4 ± 18.8 vs. 57.8 ± 18.8; P = 0.006) and Convenience (76.3 ± 15.4 vs. 63.3 ± 17.3; P < 0.001) in patients on Sharesource®. Moreover, Sharesource® reduced the total amount of healthcare resource consumption (0.80 ± 1.32 vs. 1.87 ± 2.39 times/12 weeks; P = 0.02) and consultation time during regular monthly visits (813 ± 269 vs. 1024 ± 292 s; P < 0.001). A significant increase in ultrafiltration volume was found associated with more frequent modification of APD prescription in patients with Sharesource®. Sharesource® also improved the HRQOL subscale of General Health and Vitality.
    Conclusion: Sharesource® can improve patient-centered outcomes in patients on APD while reducing the treatment burden for both patients and medical staff.
    Trial registration: The study was registered in the Japan Registry of Clinical Trials (jRCT Number: jRCTs032190005).

    Abstract Unplanned dialysis initiation is associated with poor outcomes. It is controversial whether patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) should receive renin-angiotensin system (RAS) inhibitor therapy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of RAS inhibitor therapy in patients with advanced CKD on the incidence of unplanned dialysis initiation. This single-center, retrospective study included patients who started maintenance dialysis at our hospital between April 2014 and March 2021. Patients who initiated dialysis within 6 months of nephrology referral or after kidney transplant were excluded. Among 334 patients (aged 70.0 [59.0-79.0] years; 28.4% women), 186 (55.7%) and 148 (44.3%) had planned and unplanned dialysis initiation, respectively. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that the use of RAS inhibitors was significantly associated with a lower incidence of unplanned dialysis initiation (odds ratio [OR], 0.36; P < 0.01). Female sex (OR, 0.41; P < 0.05), use of potassium binders (OR, 0.28; P < 0.001), earlier referral to nephrology (OR, 0.39; P < 0.01), and earlier discussion of renal replacement therapy (OR, 0.33; P < 0.001) were also significantly associated with a lower incidence, whereas older age (OR, 1.28; P < 0.05), higher Charlson Comorbidity Index (OR, 1.24; P < 0.05), and faster decline in kidney function (OR, 1.29; P < 0.01) were associated with a higher risk of unplanned dialysis initiation. RAS inhibitor therapy in patients with advanced CKD is associated with a lower risk of unplanned dialysis initiation.

    Abstract Background: Thymus and activation-regulated chemokine (TARC), which induces a Th2-dominated inflammation, is a well-known biomarker that reflects the severity of atopic dermatitis. The present study aimed to evaluate TARC as a Th2-associated marker with chronic kidney disease-associated pruritus (CKD-aP) in patients with peritoneal dialysis (PD).
    Methods: This single-centre cross-sectional study included patients who underwent PD in our hospital between August 2020 and July 2021. The severity and impaired quality of life (QOL) of CKD-aP were assessed using the visual analogue scale (VAS) and Japanese version of the 5-D itch scale (5D-J), respectively.
    Results: A total of 48 patients with PD were included in the present study. Age and dialysis vintage were (mean ± SD) 64.8 ± 12.0 year and (median (IQR)) 38.5 (11.5-91.5) month, respectively. VAS and 5D-J scores were 3.3 ± 2.0 and 10.5 (9.0-12.0), respectively. Serum TARC level was 481.5 (278.9-603.4) pg/mL (upper limits of normal 450 pg/mL) and significantly correlated with VAS (
    Conclusion: Serum TARC level is an independent predictor of the severity and impaired QOL of CKD-aP in patients with PD, and TARC might be involved in the pathogenesis of CKD-aP.

    Abstract Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with multiple complications, with recent scholarly attention underscoring cognitive impairment as a salient manifestation. Considering societal aging, preserving cognitive function has emerged as an urgent medical concern. Prolonged dialysis, encompassing hemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD), has been associated with a decline in cognitive function. Here, we present the cases of three patients undergoing PD who exhibited a noticeable improvement in cognitive function upon the initiation of HD. One patient had exhibited mild cognitive decline, whereas the remaining two presented more severe impairment. Apart from a mild tendency for fluid retention, none of the three patients exhibited abnormalities in physical or imaging examinations. Evaluation using the Japanese version of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA-J) yielded decreased scores across multiple domains, notably in executive and attention functions. However, after HD initiation, all patients demonstrated a marked enhancement in multiple MoCA-J parameters, accompanied by a significant improvement in subjective symptoms. Moreover, improvements in anemia and hypoalbuminemia were observed in all three patients, whereas consistent trends in other parameters were absent. These clinical observations suggest that the integration of HD into the therapeutic regimen of patients undergoing PD may enhance cognitive function, highlighting the contributory roles of hemoglobin and albumin in CKD-associated cognitive impairment.

    Abstract A decreased body mass index (BMI) over time is associated with a poor prognosis for patients on hemodialysis. We aimed to examine whether this association also applies to patients with peritoneal dialysis (PD). BMI change was defined as the percentage change in the BMI between the time of PD catheter insertion and six months after its insertion. The association between the BMI change and all-cause mortality or PD discontinuation from six months after PD catheter insertion until October 2021 was investigated. This retrospective cohort study included 122 patients (aged 61.1 ± 12.1 years; 90 males) who underwent PD catheter insertion between January 2008 and March 2020. The median follow-up period was 43.1 (21.2-78.8) months. The median six-month percentage change in the BMI was -2.14 (-5.56-1.84)%, and patients were categorized into tertiles based on their BMI changes. The fully-adjusted Cox regression analysis revealed a significantly higher rate of PD discontinuation or all-cause mortality (hazard ratio (HR): 2.48; 95%; confidence interval (CI): 1.41-4.37) in patients with the lowest tertile (T1, BMI change: < -4.13%) compared to patients with the middle tertile (T2, BMI change: -4.13%-0.67%). The risk was not significantly higher in patients with the highest tertile (T3, BMI change: >0.67%) than those in the T2 group (HR: 1.18; 95% CI: 0.66-2.11). A decreased BMI over time is independently associated with HD transfer or all-cause mortality among patients initiating PD, which highlights the importance of the 6-month BMI change as a novel prognostic marker.
