    Abstract Originally rooted in philosophy and sociology, the concept of epistemic trust has recently transitioned to developmental psychopathology, illuminating social-cognitive processes in psychopathology. This narrative review synthesizes empirical evidence on epistemic trust to inform future research. A literature search highlighted 3 areas: i) the development of selective trust in children; ii) epistemic trust in non-clinical adults; iii) its link to mental health. Young children demonstrate selective learning from reliable sources using epistemic cues. Empirical studies beyond childhood were greatly facilitated in the last 2 years with the introduction of the Epistemic Trust, Mistrust and Credulity Questionnaire, a self-report scale measuring epistemic stance. Cross-sectional studies pinpointed dysfunctional epistemic strategies as factors in mental health vulnerability, and some qualitative work offered initial evidence linking restored epistemic trust to effective psychotherapy. For future research, we propose focusing on 3 primary areas. First, empirical investigations in adolescent samples are needed, as adolescence seems to be a pivotal phase in the development of epistemic trust. Second, more experimental research is required to assess dysfunctional and functional epistemic stances and how they relate to vulnerability to mental health disorders. Finally, intervention studies should explore the dynamics of epistemic stances within and between therapy sessions and their impact on therapeutic outcomes.

    Abstract Introduction: The percentage of patients initiating dialysis at an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≤9 mL/min/1.73 m2 decreased between 2000 and 2018 in the USA. Clinical practice guidelines recommend basing the decision to initiate dialysis primarily on uremic signs and symptoms rather than on a particular level of kidney function. However, what signs and symptoms currently practicing nephrologists consider "uremic," how they weigh eGFR and other factors in the decision to initiate dialysis have not been reported.
    Methods: The study was an online survey of 255 US nephrologists, conducted between August and October 2021.
    Results: Nearly half of respondents (49.8%) had an absolute lower eGFR (8.4 [95% CI: 7.6, 9.2] mL/min/1.73 m2) at which they would initiate dialysis in an asymptomatic patient. The top 5 symptoms that would trigger a recommendation to initiate dialysis were loss of appetite/nausea/vomiting (17%), low eGFR (10%), shortness of breath (10%), declining physical ability/function (9%), and generalized weakness (9%). Poor nutritional status and physical function decline were considered very important in the decision to initiate dialysis by 64% and 55% of respondents, respectively. Nephrologists surveyed significantly shortened the time to dialysis initiation in response to declining physical function in an otherwise asymptomatic (hypothetical) patient.
    Conclusions: Nearly half of nephrologists sometimes based their decision to initiate dialysis on eGFR alone. The eGFR threshold at which they did so was lower than has been examined in randomized controlled trials of dialysis initiation. Initiatives designed to safely delay dialysis through aggressive medical management could focus on modifiable factors that are the most important drivers of the decision to initiate dialysis.

    Abstract Background: Metabolic acidosis is a complication of chronic kidney disease (CKD) that increases risk of CKD progression, and causes bone demineralization and muscle protein catabolism. Patients with diabetes are prone to metabolic acidosis and functional limitations that decrease quality of life. Veverimer, an investigational, non-absorbed polymer that binds and removes gastrointestinal hydrochloric acid, is being developed as treatment for metabolic acidosis. This post hoc subgroup analysis evaluated effects of veverimer on metabolic acidosis and physical function among patients with diabetes.
    Methods: This was a Phase 3, multicenter, randomized, blinded, placebo-controlled trial in 196 patients with CKD (estimated glomerular filtration rate 20-40 mL/min/1.73 m2) and metabolic acidosis who were treated for up to 1 year with veverimer or placebo.
    Results: At Week 52, veverimer-treated patients with diabetes (n = 70), had a significantly greater increase in mean serum bicarbonate than the placebo group (n = 57) (4.4 versus 2.9 mmol/L, P < 0.05). Patient-reported limitations of physical function on the Kidney Disease and Quality of Life-Physical Function Domain (e.g. walking several blocks and climbing a flight of stairs) improved significantly in the veverimer versus placebo group (+12.5 versus +0.3, respectively, P < 0.001) as did objective physical performance on the repeated chair stand test (P < 0.0001).
    Conclusions: Few interventions for patients with diabetes and CKD have successfully improved quality of life or physical functioning. Our study demonstrated that veverimer effectively treated metabolic acidosis in patients with diabetes and CKD, and significantly improved how these patients felt and functioned.
