Exploring patient willingness to accept hepatitis C-infected kidneys for transplantation.
The objective of this study was to explore patient willingness to accept a kidney from Hepatitis C virus-infected donors compared to donors with active intravenous drug use and donors with longstanding diabetes and hypertension. Using electronic surveys, results showed that utilization of kidneys from Hepatitis C virus-infected donors to expand the donor pool appeared to be an acceptable option to patients.

Arteriovenous fistula placement, maturation, and patency loss in older patients initiating hemodialysis.
The current clinical guidelines for vascular access do not have specific recommendations for older hemodialysis patients. This retrospective cohort study aimed to determine the association of age with arteriovenous fistula (AVF) placement, maturation, and primary and secondary patency loss among older hemodialysis recipients. The authors conclude that the likelihood of AVF maturation is an important consideration for vascular access planning.

Early prediction of acute kidney injury in the emergency department with machine-learning methods applied to electronic health record data.
Researchers analyzed routinely collected emergency department (ED) data and developed prediction models with capacity for early identification of ED patients at high risk for acute kidney injury. They found that machine learning applied to routinely-collected ED data identified ED patients at high risk for acute kidney injury up to 72 hours before they met diagnostic criteria. They recommended further prospective evaluation.

Racial/ethnic inequities in access to high-quality dialysis treatment in Chicago: does neighborhood racial/ethnic composition matter?
Investigators examined whether neighborhood racial composition contributes to racial/ethnic inequities in access to high-quality dialysis care in Chicago. Data from the United States Renal Data System was merged with the ESRD Quality Incentive Program file and the American Community Survey (2005-2009) for facility and neighborhood characteristics. The investigators concluded that expanding opportunities for Blacks and Hispanics to gain access to racially integrated and minority neighborhoods may help alleviate racial/ethnic inequities in access to quality care among kidney disease patients.

National trends in the association of race and ethnicity with predialysis nephrology care in the United States From 2005 to 2015.
Predialysis nephrology care is associated with better survival among patients with end-stage kidney disease. The purpose of this study was to examine national trends in racial/ethnic disparities in receipt of predialysis nephrology care at least 1 year before dialysis initiation in the United States from 2005 to 2015. The study findings suggested that national strategies to address racial/ethnic disparities in predialysis nephrology care are needed.

Use of QT prolonging medications by hemodialysis patients and individuals without end-stage kidney disease.
Investigators characterized the extent and patterns of QT-interval prolonging medication use by adult hemodialysis patients and individuals without end-stage kidney disease annually from 2012 to 2016. They found that hemodialysis patients used QT prolonging medications with known torsades de pointes risk more extensively than individuals without end-stage kidney disease. They recommended future studies evaluating the cardiac safety of these drugs in the hemodialysis population.

Association of acute kidney injury with readmissions after hospitalization for acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: a population-based study.
This study examined the association between acute kidney injury (AKI) and readmission with hospitalization for acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD). Retrospective, population-based cohort data was used from the HCUP State Inpatient Databases from seven states (Arkansas, California, Florida, Iowa, Nebraska, New York, and Utah) from 2010 through 2013. A total of 356,990 patients were identified as hospitalized for AECOPD. Median age was 71 years and 41.9% were male. Of those 7% had a concurrent diagnosis of AKI. Patients with AKI were found to have a significantly higher risk of 30-day all-cause readmission compared to those without AKI as well as a significantly higher risk of 90-day all-cause readmission, particularly for non-respiratory reasons. These reasons included sepsis, acute renal failure, and congestive heart failure.

Use of potentially nephrotoxic medications by U.S. adults with chronic kidney disease: NHANES, 2011-2016.
This study looked at the prevalence of potentially inappropriate medication (PIM) use by US adults by chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage and self-reported CKD awareness. A cross-sectional analysis of National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys, 2011-2016 was conducted using a cohort of non-pregnant CKD adults with stages 3a, 3b, or 4-5 CKD. Analyses were adjusted for sex, age, race/ethnicity, education, comorbidities, and insurance type. More than 50% of US adults were taking PIM(s) for all CKD stages and awareness categories, but rates were highest among CKD-unaware patients with stages 4-5 CKD. Proton pump inhibitors, opioids, metformin, sulfonylureas, and NSAIDS were used frequently in all CKD stages. NSAIDS were used less frequently when the patient was CKD-aware.

Oral anticoagulation and cardiovascular outcomes in patients with atrial fibrillation and end-stage renal disease.
The objective of this study was to describe patterns of oral anticoagulant (OAC) use in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and their associations with cardiovascular outcomes. Medicare fee-for-service 5% claims data from 2007 to 2013 was analyzed in a cohort of patients with ESRD and AF. A cohort of 8,410 patients with AF and ESRD was identified, with a total of 3,043 (36.2%) patients treated with OAC during the study period. Treatment with OAC was not associated with hospitalization for stroke, or death but was associated with increased hospitalization for bleeding and intracranial hemorrhage.

Donor-recipient relationship and risk of ESKD in live kidney donors of varied racial groups.
Risk factors for kidney failure are the basis of live kidney donor candidate evaluation. In this retrospective cohort study, the investigators quantified risk for end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) by the biological relationship of the donor to the recipient, a risk factor that is not addressed by current clinical practice guidelines. The investigators found that marked differences in risk for ESKD across types of donor-recipient relationship were observed for Asian, black, and white donors.

Comparative effectiveness of high-dose versus standard-dose influenza vaccine among patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis.
This study compared outcomes of routine dialysis patients who received either the standard dose vaccine (SDV) for influenza or a high-dose vaccine (HDV). Out of 22,215 influenza patient-seasons among adults 65 years and older, 97.4% received SDV and 2.6% received HDV. There did not seem to be any additional protection provided by the HDV for all-cause mortality or influenza-related outcomes.

Incremental cost of acute kidney injury after percutaneous coronary intervention in the United States.
This study examined incremental costs of acute kidney injury (AKI) complications from percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), which is a common and severe complication. Out of a sample of over 1.4 million PCI patients at 518 US hospitals from 2006 to 2015, AKI occurred in 5.73% of PCI patients. Those with AKI had at least double the hospitalization costs and the incremental cost was $9,448. It was also independently associated with an incremental length of stay of 3.6 days. AKI cost burden was extrapolated at 411.3 million US dollars annually.

Reports of lactic acidosis attributed to metformin, 2015-2018.
This study examined the effects of allowing patients with mild-moderate chronic kidney disease to use metformin. The researchers examined rates of reports of metformin-associated lactic acidosis (MALA) to FDA鈥檚 Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS). Publicly available data from 2015 to 2018 was analyzed. Reports from the US increased from 111 in 2015 to 243 in 2018. However due to a lack of a denominator or control group they could not conclude US MALA rates have increased. The authors also concluded that while the increased reports deserve attention, further study is needed.

The perfect storm: stakeholder perspectives on factors contributing to hospital admissions for patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis.
This study examined reasons why end stage renal disease (ESRD) patients undergoing hemodialysis experience frequent complications and hospitalizations. Interviews and focus groups were conducted with 21 patients living with ESRD, 10 caregivers, and three focus groups with health care professionals. There were four main themes that came out of the discussions: graft site/catheter/access issues, low resistance, breathing problems, and 鈥淭he perfect storm鈥. The goal of these interviews were to promote more research to improve transitional care and care delivery for hemodialysis patients.

Baby NINJA (Nephrotoxic Injury Negated by Just-in-Time Action): reduction of nephrotoxic medication-associated acute kidney injury in the neonatal intensive care unit.
The purpose of this study was to test if acute kidney injury (AKI) is preventable in patients in the neonatal intensive care unit and if infants at high-risk of nephrotoxic medication-induced AKI can be identified using a systematic surveillance program previously used in the pediatric non-intensive care unit setting. The authors concluded that a systematic surveillance program to identify high-risk infants can prevent nephrotoxic-induced AKI and has the potential to prevent short and long-term consequences of AKI in critically ill infants.

Follow-up of abnormal estimated GFR results within a large integrated health care delivery system: a mixed-methods study.
This study examined the rates of follow-up with patients after abnormal estimated glomular filtration rate (eGFR) laboratory results, which may indicate chronic kidney disease. A large integrated health system was used with a total of 244,540 patients aged 21 or older with abnormal eGFRs were included from January 2010 through December 2015. Timely follow-up was defined as repeat eGFR testing within 60 to 150 days, follow-up testing before 60 days that indicated normal kidney function, or diagnosis before 60 days of chronic kidney disease or kidney cancer. Follow-up was found to be poor, with 58% of patients lacking timely follow-up. Fifteen physicians were also interviewed and it was found that both system-level and provider-level factors influenced follow-up rates.

Impact of socioeconomic status on incidence of end-stage renal disease and mortality after dialysis in adults with diabetes.
The purpose of this study was to determine whether low socioeconomic status (SES), with or without universal drug coverage, predicts end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and survival after dialysis in patients with diabetes. Results showed that low SES was inversely associated with ESRD outcomes in individuals with diabetes, and this disparity was reduced in those age 65 and older who universally received prescription drug coverage. Low SES was associated with a higher mortality after dialysis, largely explained by lower kidney transplantation rates in poorer populations.

Neighborhood poverty and sex differences in live donor kidney transplant outcomes in the United States.
Neighborhood poverty has been associated with worse outcomes after live donor kidney transplantation (LDKT), and prior work suggests that women with kidney disease may be more susceptible to the negative influence of poverty than men. As such, our goal was to examine whether poverty differentially affects women in influencing LDKT outcomes. The investigators concluded that given their findings that poverty was more strongly associated with graft loss in women, targeted efforts are needed to specifically address mechanisms driving these disparities in LDKT outcomes.
