.... Nevertheless, evidence analyzing kidney dysfunction in HF is scarce in Latin American populations. We aimed to analyze the prevalence of kidney dysfunction and assess its association with mortality in patients diagnosed with HF enrolled in the Colombian Heart Failure Registry (RECOLFACA). Methods: RECOLFACA...

... that basal alterations of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) are related to short- and mid-term higher mortality in acute heart failure (AHF), there is scarce information on the influence of an altered eGFR on long-term mortality and readmissions. Therefore, this multicenter study sought...

...Raghavan Murugan; Amir Kazory; Luca Sgarabotto; Claudio Ronco Background: Fluid overload is present in two-thirds of critically ill patients with acute kidney injury and is associated with morbidity, mortality, and increased healthcare resource utilization. Kidney replacement therapy (KRT...

... of this study was all-cause mortality, and the secondary endpoint was composite of all-cause mortality, nonfatal myocardial infarction, nonfatal stroke, unstable angina pectoris, or ischemia-driven revascularization. Results: During a median observation period of 4.0 years, the primary endpoint was noted in 5...

.... Multivariable logistic regression evaluated predictors of being discharged home on an ACEI/ARB. Cox regression analysis evaluated outcomes (30 and 180-day mortality/HF readmissions). Results: 3,652 patients were included, of which 37% of patients hospitalized for AHF had ACEI/ARB discontinued on admission...

...Aiwen Shen; Linsen Jiang; Yunhuan Tian; Ying Lu; Zhi Wang; Huaying Shen; Kai Song; Sheng Feng Objective: This study aimed to compare mortality between peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients with and without cardiac valve calcification (CVC). Methods: Patients undergoing PD at the dialysis center...

... to 2019 in a referral hospital in Thailand was analyzed. The primary outcome was 30-day in-hospital mortality. Ultrafiltration and net fluid balance among survivors and nonsurvivors in the first 5 PD sessions were compared. Results: The 30-day mortality rate was 73.4%. Most patients were critically ill...

...Jing Zhu; Chao Tang; Han Ouyang; Huaying Shen; Tao You; Ji Hu Aim: To derive an echocardiography-based prognostic score for a 3-year risk of mortality in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD). Methods: 173 ESRD patients hospitalized in the second affiliated hospital...

...Amber O. Molnar; Sarah E. Bota; Amit X. Garg; Alexandra Ouédraogo; Stephanie N. Dixon; Kyla Naylor; Matthew Oliver; Manish M. Sood Introduction: Prior studies reported lower mortality with hemodialysis (HD) compared to peritoneal dialysis (PD) in patients with heart failure (HF). We examined...

... diuretic efficiency was calculated as urine output, natriuresis, and chloruresis, each adjusted for loop diuretic dose, and compared among strata. Risk for onset of dialysis and all-cause mortality was evaluated. Results: Loop diuretic efficiency metrics decreased from KDIGO class IIIB to IV in furosemide...

... was significantly lower than in the other 3 groups (log-rank test: p = 0.003). In multivariate Cox regression models, the mortality rate of AHF patients with a BUN/Cr ratio in the bottom quartile was significantly higher than in the top quartile (adjusted HR 1.52; 95% CI 1.03–2.24). For the meta-analysis, we...

... between serum Klotho and clinical outcomes in nondiabetic CKD patients needs to be further clarified. We aimed to determine whether serum Klotho levels are associated with CVD events and mortality in predialysis CKD patients without diabetes. Methods: A total of 336 CKD stage 2–5 predialysis patients...

... of ANGPTL7 among patients with acute heart failure (AHF) remains unclear. Objective: To evaluate the association between ANGPTL7 and short-term mortality due to AHF. Methods and Results: Patients with AHF were prospectively studied. Serum levels of ANGPTL7 were measured by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent...

... with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The aim of the study was to evaluate the prevalence of AKI, as classified by the KDIGO criteria, and its association with long-term mortality. Methods: Data from 5,859 MI patients undergoing PCI at our institution were analyzed. We compared the group without...

.... Heart failure Mortality Plasma volume Plasma volume (PV) is the intravascular portion of the extracellular fluid compartment of the body. PV is generally well regulated in healthy individuals by complex signaling of neuroendocrine systems that maintain water and sodium homeostasis [ 1 ]. Any...

... for predicting AKI were 63.6 and 59.7% (area under the ROC curve 0.631) at 41.9 ng/mg × cre. A Cox regression model identified the H group (hazard ratio: 13.494, 95% CI 1.512-120.415) as an independent predictor of the 60-day mortality. A Kaplan-Meier curve, including all-cause death within 60 days, showed...

... of the high mortality of dialysis patients. In the general population, the novel cardiovascular and wasting biomarker, growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15), is associated with decreased survival. However, little is known about GDF15 in dialysis patients. Methods: Among prevalent hemodialysis patients...
