Es zeigt sich zwar in den letzten Jahren möglicherweise aufgrund therapeutischer Verbesserungen ein Trend zur Verringerung der Mortalitätsrate bei Dialysepatienten1,2. Dennoch ist die Mortalitätsrate von Dialysepatienten in den USA, welche 65 Jahre oder älter sind, fast sieben mal höher als die in der Allgemeinbevölkerung1. Die Todesrate von Dialysepatienten liegt bei bis zu 20 % pro Jahr2. Hinsichtlich der Ursachen der hohen Mortalitätsrate zeigt sich sowohl in den USA als auch in Europa ein in den letzten Jahrzehnten weitgehend übereinstimmendes Bild. Kardiovaskuläre Erkrankungen stellen die eindeutig dominierende Todesursache dar1-4. Abbildung 1.1 zeigt eine Häufigkeitsverteilung der verschiedenen Mortalitätsursachen bei Dialysepatienten innerhalb der ersten drei Jahre nach Dialysebeginn in einer europäischen Kohorte4: $-#,%& ./01234/567890:&;060/<67<=:<& $'#(%& !"#$%& ><?:6@3<:<& !#"%& A/8=<3B:& +#,%& ./CD:E2:& '#)%& F2/8G5:/HH07CD& )#*%& $'#(%& I72J21&K&LD:0/M2:N:2=:07<=& A78@?/6O302:88:&P0Q<1:& 7<H:6/<<O& Abbildung 1.1: Häufigkeitsverteilung der Mortalitätsursachen bei Dialysepatienten4. Die kardiovaskuläre Morbidität und Mortalität bei chronischer Niereninsuffizienz lässt sich in vier verschiedene Gruppen einteilen5: 1 Einleitung _______________________________________________________________ 1. Koronare Herzkrankheit und Myokardinfarkt 2. Kongestive Herzinsuffizienz 3. Zerebrovaskuläre Erkrankungen, Schlaganfall, Vorhofflimmern, AVK 4. Plötzlicher Herztod Ein Hauptfaktor der enorm hohen kardiovaskulären Mortalität ist die ischämische Herzerkrankung, welche in den Untersuchungen der HEMO-Studie bei 39% aller Hämodialysepatienten prävalent war6. Die Begründung hierfür ist komplex und unterscheidet sich von der für die Allgemeinbevölkerung. Die Risikofaktoren der klassischen, koronaren Atherosklerose der Allgemeinbevölkerung sind gut untersucht und haben Eingang in die Anwendung verschiedener klinischer Scoring-Systeme gefunden (PROCAM7, Framingham8, SCORE9). Zu den klassischen koronaren Risikofaktoren gehören demnach Diabetes mellitus, arterielle Hypertonie, Nikotinabusus und Hyperlipoproteinämie (Hypercholesterinämie, Hypertriglyzeridämie). Als prädisponierende Risikofaktoren gelten unter anderem Alter, Geschlecht und positive Familienanamnese bzgl. stattgehabter Myokardinfarkt. In der Dialysepopulation sind ein Teil dieser Faktoren ebenfalls von ätiologischer Bedeutung hinsichtlich der hohen kardiovaskulären Mortalität. So ist die Prävalenz von Diabetes mellitus (etwa 50%) und arterieller Hypertonie (etwa 75%) bei Dialysepatienten sehr hoch und erhöht damit die Wahrscheinlichkeit für das Vorliegen einer Herzerkrankung deutlich10. Dies liefert zumindest eine Teilerklärung für die hohe Mortalitätsrate. In Bezug auf die Therapie einer Hyperlipoproteinämie bei Dialysepatienten mit Statinen gibt es keine eindeutige Evidenz für einen Nutzen derselben. So konnte in der 4D-Studie11 und der AURORA-Studie12 kein signifikanter Effekt einer Statintherapie bei Dialysepatienten auf kardiovaskuläre Endpunkte eruiert werden. In der SHARP-Studie13 konnte zwar eine signifikante Reduktion der kardiovaskulären Ereignisse unter Senkung des Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL)- Cholesterols bei Patienten mit fortgeschrittener, chronischer Niereninsuffizienz gesehen werden. Bei den teilnehmenden Dialysepatienten zeigte sich jedoch diesbezüglich ein deutlich geringerer und nicht signifikanter Effekt. Die Ursache 2 Einleitung _______________________________________________________________ hierfür könnte möglicherweise an der deutlich geringeren Senkung des LDL- Cholesterols bei gleicher Dosierung der Studienmedikation im Vergleich zu den Nicht-Dialysepatienten liegen. Auch der Risikofaktor Nikotinabusus wurde mittels einer Metaanalyse untersucht. Hierbei zeigte sich zwar, dass Rauchen die Gesamtmortalität erhöht, jedoch überraschenderweise nicht die kardiovaskuläre Mortalität14. Der prädisponierende Risikofaktor Alter konnte auch für Dialysepatienten nachgewiesen werden. Jedoch zeigte sich bei dieser Analyse, dass vor allem bei jungen Patienten zwischen 25-35 Jahren ein enorm erhöhtes Risiko für kardiovaskuläre Mortalität (altersentsprechend etwa 500-fach erhöht) im Vergleich zu älteren Patienten über 85 Jahren (altersentsprechend etwa 5-fach erhöht) verglichen mit der Allgemeinbevölkerung besteht (siehe Abbildung 15 1.2) . Einleitung 15 Abbildung 1.2: Altersabhängige kardiovaskuläre Mortalität bei Dialysepatienten . 7 Abbildung 4: Jährlichen Mortalitätsrate bei Hämodialyse Patienten.

Die meisten schwer nierenkranken Patienten erhalten daher seit mehr als 20 Jahren gentechnologisch hergestelltes Erythropoietin. Ein Behandlungsziel sollte laut aktueller Leitlinien zur Nierenersatztherapie dabei sein, den Hämoglobin Wert von 11 g/dl nicht dauerhaft zu unterschreiten, sowie mindestens ein Serum Ferritin > 100 µg/l, einen Hämatokrit von 33 % und eine Transferrinsättigung (TSAT) > 20 % zu erreichen.8 Einige der Patienten leiden unter einer, von der Dialysebehandlungsdauer abhängigen Resistenzentwicklung gegen Erythropoietin-stimulierende Substanzen (EPO = erythropoietin stimulating agents). Von einer Therapieresistenz gegen EPO kann ausgegangen werden, wenn die 4 Einleitung _______________________________________________________________ hierfür sind spezifische Mechanismen, die vornehmlich bei Vorhandensein einer chronischen Niereninsuffizienz zum Tragen kommen.

  • Intensified Hemodialysis for Complicated Pregnancy in A
    Arai et al. Renal Replacement Therapy (2020) 6:47 https://doi.org/10.1186/s41100-020-00296-7 CASE REPORT Open Access Intensified hemodialysis for complicated pregnancy in a primigravida with advanced maternal age: a case report with literature review focusing on appropriate hemodialysis management during pregnancy Hiroyuki Arai1, Keita P. Mori1,2, Hideki Yokoi1* , Ken Mizuta1,3, Jumpei Ogura4,5, Ko Suginami5,6, Tomomi Endo7, Yoshihiro Ikeda8, Takeshi Matsubara1, Tatsuo Tsukamoto7 and Motoko Yanagita1 Abstract Background: Pregnancy in dialysis patients is rare but challenging both for nephrologists and obstetricians. Although intensified hemodialysis is effective to achieve favorable clinical outcomes in this clinical setting, the evidence concerning reliable parameters for the optimal dialysis prescription is scarce. Herein, we report a case of a primigravida with advanced maternal age who underwent a normal spontaneous vaginal delivery at full term managed by intensified hemodialysis, and discuss reliable indicators of the appropriate dialysis prescription. Case presentation: A 39-year-old primigravida with end-stage renal disease was referred to our department for hemodialysis management during pregnancy. She had a history of multiple gynecologic disorders, including cervical dysplasia, right tubal ectopic pregnancy and spontaneous abortion; consequently, she conceived through in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer. After pregnancy was confirmed, an intensified hemodialysis schedule with weekly duration of 36 hours was employed to prevent volume overload and the accumulation of hyperosmotic substances. Utilizing maternal blood pressure, plasma atrial natriuretic peptide levels and fetal development as indicators of volume status, we incremented her dry weight by 300–400 g per week in the first and second trimester and 100–200 g per week in the third trimester, respectively.

  • Squared Frequency-Kt/V
    Murakami et al. Renal Replacement Therapy (2019) 5:8 https://doi.org/10.1186/s41100-019-0198-7 RESEARCH Open Access Squared frequency-Kt/V: a new index of hemodialysis adequacy—correlation with solute concentrations by computer simulation Kaya Murakami1, Kenichi Kokubo1,2,3*, Minoru Hirose1,2, Kozue Kobayashi1,2 and Hirosuke Kobayashi1,2 Abstract Background: In patients undergoing home dialysis, conventionally, Kt/V has been regarded as an index of the removal efficiency per dialysis session. However, more recently, it has been considered that the hemodialysis product (HDP), rather than the Kt/V, is better associated with the clinical symptoms and outcomes in patients undergoing short daily dialysis or nocturnal dialysis. Nevertheless, the HDP lacks a theoretical background, and it does not take into consideration the dialyzer clearance or patient’s body size. The aims of the present study were to clarify the theoretical validity of HDP focusing on its association with solute concentration by computer simulation and to propose a new index of hemodialysis adequacy. Methods: We used compartment models and calculated the time course of urea and β2 microglobulin (β2MG) concentrations to determine the peak concentrations and time-averaged concentrations at varying dialysis frequencies (n =2–7 sessions/week) and durations of dialysis per session (t = 1 to 8 h dialysis sessions). Results: It was found that the peak concentrations of urea and β2MG were significantly correlated with the HDP. Based on this, we theoretically extracted the factor related to the peak concentration and defined the squared frequency-Kt/V (sf-Kt/V), as a new index for determining hemodialysis adequacy (sf-Kt/V=n2Kt/V; K, clearance; V,solutedistribution volume; n,frequency;t, dialysis time); this index was well correlated with the peak concentrations of urea and β2MG, even when the values of K and V were changed.
