Circumferential Strain as a Marker of Vessel Reactivity in Patients with Intradialytic Hypotension. Medicina (B Aires) 2023; 59:medicina59010102. [PMID: 36676726 PMCID: PMC9865043 DOI: 10.3390/medicina59010102] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/14/2022] [Revised: 12/21/2022] [Accepted: 12/24/2022] [Indexed: 01/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Background and Objectives: Intradialytic hypotension (IDH) complicates 4 to 39.9% of hemodialysis (HD) sessions. Vessels' reactivity disturbances may be responsible for this complication. Two-dimensional speckle tracking is used to assess arterial circumferential strain (CS) as a marker of the effectiveness of the cardiovascular response to the reduction of circulating plasma. Materials and Methods: The common carotid artery (CCA) and common iliac artery (CIA) CSs were recorded using ultrasonography in 68 chronically dialyzed patients before and after one HD session. Results: In patients with IDH episodes (n = 26), the CCA-CS was significantly lower both before (6.28 ± 2.34 vs. 4.63 ± 1.74 p = 0.003) and after HD (5.00 (3.53-6.78) vs. 3.79 ± 1.47 p = 0.010) than it was in patients without this complication. No relationship was observed between CIA-CS and IDH. IDH patients had a significantly higher UF rate; however, they did not differ compared to complication-free patients either in anthropometric or laboratory parameters. Conclusions: Patients with IDH were characterized by lower pre- and post-HD circumferential strain of the common carotid artery. The lower CCA-CS showed that impaired vascular reactivity is one of the most important risk factors for this complication's occurrence.

Baroreflex Sensitivity Assessment Using the Sequence Method with Delayed Signals in End-Stage Renal Disease Patients. SENSORS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 23:260. [PMID: 36616859 PMCID: PMC9823877 DOI: 10.3390/s23010260] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/14/2022] [Revised: 12/13/2022] [Accepted: 12/22/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
Impaired baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) is partially responsible for erratic blood pressure fluctuations in End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) patients on chronic hemodialysis (HD), which is related to autonomic nervous dysfunction. The sequence method with delayed signals allows for the measurement of BRS in a non-invasive fashion and the investigation of alterations in this physiological feedback system that maintains BP within healthy limits. Our objective was to evaluate the modified delayed signals in the sequence method for BRS assessment in ESRD patients without pharmacological antihypertensive treatment and compare them with those of healthy subjects. We recruited 22 healthy volunteers and 18 patients with ESRD. We recorded continuous BP to obtain a 15-min time series of systolic blood pressure and interbeat intervals during the supine position (SP) and active standing (AS) position. The time series with delays from 0 to 5 heartbeats were used to calculate the BRS, number of data points, number of sequences, and estimation error. The BRS from the ESRD patients was smaller than in healthy subjects (p < 0.05). The BRS estimation with the delayed sequences also increased the number of data points and sequences and decreased the estimation error compared to the original time series. The modified sequence method with delayed signals may be useful for the measurement of baroreflex sensitivity in ESRD patients with a shorter recording time and maintaining an estimation error below 0.01 in both the supine and active standing positions. With this framework, it was corroborated that baroreflex sensitivity in ESRD is decreased when compared with healthy subjects.

Oxygen Extraction and Mortality in Patients Undergoing Chronic Haemodialysis Treatment: A Multicentre Study. J Clin Med 2022; 12:jcm12010138. [PMID: 36614939 PMCID: PMC9821439 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12010138] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2022] [Revised: 12/17/2022] [Accepted: 12/20/2022] [Indexed: 12/28/2022] Open
Abstract
Patients on haemodialysis (HD) suffer a high mortality rate linked to developing subclinical hypoxic parenchymal stress during HD sessions. The oxygen extraction ratio (OER), an estimate of the oxygen claimed by peripheral tissues, might represent a new prognostic factor in HD patients. This study evaluated whether the intradialytic change in OER (ΔOER) identified patients with higher mortality risks. We enrolled chronic HD patients with permanent central venous catheters with available central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2) measurements; the arterial oxygen saturation was measured with peripheral oximeters (SpO2). We measured OER before and after HD at enrolment; deaths were recorded during two-years of follow-up. In 101 patients (age: 72.9 ± 13.6 years, HD vintage: 9.6 ± 16.6 years), 44 deaths were recorded during 11.6 ± 7.5 months of follow-up. Patients were divided into two groups according to a 40% ΔOER threshold (ΔOER < 40%, n = 56; ΔOER ≥ 40%, n = 45). The ΔOER ≥ 40% group showed a higher incidence of death (60% vs. 30%; p = 0.005). The survival curve (log-rank-test: p = 0.0001) and multivariate analysis (p = 0.0002) confirmed a ΔOER ≥ 40% as a mortality risk factor. This study showed the intradialytic ΔOER ≥ 40% was a mortality risk factor able to highlight critical hypoxic damage. Using a ΔOER ≥ 40% could be clinically applicable to characterise the most fragile patients.

Correlation between Angiotensin Serum Levels and Very-Low-Frequency Spectral Power of Heart Rate Variability during Hemodialysis. LIFE (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 12:life12071020. [PMID: 35888108 PMCID: PMC9323258 DOI: 10.3390/life12071020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2022] [Revised: 07/05/2022] [Accepted: 07/06/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
Cardiovascular regulatory mechanisms that fail to compensate for ultrafiltration and cause hypovolemia during hemodialysis (HD) are not completely understood. This includes the interaction between the autonomic nervous system and the biochemistry that regulates blood pressure and modulates cardiac activity and vascular tone in response to hypovolemia in patients treated with HD. The objective was to evaluate the association of spectral indices of heart rate variability (HRV) with serum levels of angiotensin II, angiotensin 1–7, nitric oxide and total antioxidant capacity during HD. Electrocardiographic records were obtained from 20 patients during HD (3 h), from which HRV data and spectral power data in the very-low-frequency (VLF), low-frequency (LF) and high-frequency (HF) bands were generated. Three blood samples per patient were collected during HD (0.0, 1.5, 3.0 h) to determine the levels of biomarkers involved in the pressor response during HD. Angiotensin II had a positive correlation with VLF (r = 0.390) and with LF/HF (r = 0.359) and a negative correlation with LF (r = −0.262) and HF (r = −0.383). There were no significant correlations between HRV and the other biomarkers. These results suggest that during HD, VLF could reflect the serum levels of angiotensin II, which may be associated with the autonomic response to HD.

Hidden risks associated with conventional short intermittent hemodialysis: A call for action to mitigate cardiovascular risk and morbidity. World J Nephrol 2022; 11:39-57.

Abstract
The development of maintenance hemodialysis (HD) for end stage kidney disease patients is a success story that continues to save many lives. Nevertheless, intermittent renal replacement therapy is also a source of recurrent stress for patients. Conventional thrice weekly short HD is an imperfect treatment that only partially corrects uremic abnormalities, increases cardiovascular risk, and exacerbates disease burden. Altering cycles of fluid loading associated with cardiac stretching (interdialytic phase) and then fluid unloading (intradialytic phase) likely contribute to cardiac and vascular damage. This unphysiologic treatment profile combined with cyclic disturbances including osmotic and electrolytic shifts may contribute to morbidity in dialysis patients and augment the health burden of treatment. As such, HD patients are exposed to multiple stressors including cardiocirculatory, inflammatory, biologic, hypoxemic, and nutritional. This cascade of events can be termed the dialysis stress storm and sickness syndrome. Mitigating cardiovascular risk and morbidity associated with conventional intermittent HD appears to be a priority for improving patient experience and reducing disease burden. In this in-depth review, we summarize the hidden effects of intermittent HD therapy, and call for action to improve delivered HD and develop treatment schedules that are better tolerated and associated with fewer adverse effects.

Recurrence Quantitative Analysis of Wavelet-Based Surrogate Data for Nonlinearity Testing in Heart Rate Variability. Front Physiol 2022; 13:807250.

Abstract
Exploring the presence of nonlinearity through surrogate data testing provides insights into the nature of physical and biological systems like those obtained from heart rate variability (HRV). Short-term HRV time series are of great clinical interest to study autonomic impairments manifested in chronic diseases such as the end stage renal disease (ESRD) and the response of patients to treatment with hemodialysis (HD). In contrast to Iterative Amplitude Adjusted Fourier Transform (IAAFT), the Pinned Wavelet Iterative Amplitude Adjusted Fourier Transform (PWIAAFT) surrogates preserve nonstationary behavior in time series, a common characteristic of HRV. We aimed to test synthetic data and HRV time series for the existence of nonlinearity. Recurrence Quantitative Analysis (RQA) indices were used as discriminative statistics in IAAFT and PWIAAFT surrogates of linear stationary and nonstationary processes. HRV time series of healthy subjects and 29 ESRD patients before and after HD were tested in this setting during an active standing test. Contrary to PWIAAFT, linear nonstationary time series may be erroneously regarded as nonlinear according to the IAAFT surrogates. Here, a lower proportion of HRV time series was classified as nonlinear with PWIAAFT, compared to IAAFT, confirming that the nonstationarity condition influences the testing of nonlinear behavior in HRV. A contribution of nonlinearity was found in the HRV data of healthy individuals. A lower proportion of nonlinear time series was also found in ESRD patients, but statistical significance was not found. Although this proportion tends to be lower in ESRD patients, as much as 60% of time series proved to be nonlinear in healthy subjects. Given the important contribution of nonlinearity in HRV data, a nonlinear point of view is required to achieve a broader understanding of cardiovascular physiology.

Abstract
Hemodialysis (HD) is a life-sustaining therapy as well as an intermittent and repetitive stress condition for the patient. In ridding the blood of unwanted substances and excess fluid from the blood, the extracorporeal procedure simultaneously induces persistent physiological changes that adversely affect several organs. Dialysis patients experience this systemic stress condition usually thrice weekly and sometimes more frequently depending on the treatment schedule. Dialysis-induced systemic stress results from multifactorial components that include treatment schedule (i.e. modality, treatment time), hemodynamic management (i.e. ultrafiltration, weight loss), intensity of solute fluxes, osmotic and electrolytic shifts and interaction of blood with components of the extracorporeal circuit. Intradialytic morbidity (i.e. hypovolemia, intradialytic hypotension, hypoxia) is the clinical expression of this systemic stress that may act as a disease modifier, resulting in multiorgan injury and long-term morbidity. Thus, while lifesaving, HD exposes the patient to several systemic stressors, both hemodynamic and non-hemodynamic in origin. In addition, a combination of cardiocirculatory stress, greatly conditioned by the switch from hypervolemia to hypovolemia, hypoxemia and electrolyte changes may create pro-arrhythmogenic conditions. Moreover, contact of blood with components of the extracorporeal circuit directly activate circulating cells (i.e. macrophages-monocytes or platelets) and protein systems (i.e. coagulation, complement, contact phase kallikrein-kinin system), leading to induction of pro-inflammatory cytokines and resulting in chronic low-grade inflammation, further contributing to poor outcomes. The multifactorial, repetitive HD-induced stress that globally reduces tissue perfusion and oxygenation could have deleterious long-term consequences on the functionality of vital organs such as heart, brain, liver and kidney. In this article, we summarize the multisystemic pathophysiological consequences of the main circulatory stress factors. Strategies to mitigate their effects to provide more cardioprotective and personalized dialytic therapies are proposed to reduce the systemic burden of HD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cerebral and myocardial hypoperfusion occur during hemodialysis in adults. Pediatric patients receiving chronic hemodialysis have fewer cardiovascular risk factors, yet cardiovascular morbidity remains prominent. METHODS We conducted a prospective observational study of pediatric patients receiving chronic hemodialysis to investigate whether intermittent hemodialysis is associated with adverse end organ effects in the heart or with cerebral oxygenation (regional tissue oxyhemoglobin saturation [rSO2]). We assessed intradialytic cardiovascular function and rSO2 using noninvasive echocardiography to determine myocardial strain and continuous noninvasive near-infrared spectroscopy for rSO2. We measured changes in blood volume and measured central venous oxygen saturation (mCVO2) pre-, mid-, and post-hemodialysis. RESULTS The study included 15 patients (median age, 12 years; median hemodialysis vintage, 13.2 [9-24] months). Patients were asymptomatic. The rSO2 did not change during hemodialysis, whereas mCVO2 decreased significantly, from 73% to 64.8%. Global longitudinal strain of the myocardium worsened significantly by mid-hemodialysis and persisted post-hemodialysis. The ejection fraction remained normal. Lower systolic BP and faster blood volume change were associated with worsening myocardial strain; only blood volume change was significant in multivariate analysis (β-coefficient, -0.3; 95% confidence interval [CI], -0.38 to -0.21; P<0.001). Blood volume change was also associated with a significant decrease in mCVO2 (β-coefficient, 0.42; 95% CI, 0.07 to 0.76; P=0.001). Access, age, hemodialysis vintage, and ultrafiltration volume were not associated with worsening strain. CONCLUSIONS Unchanged rSO2 suggested that cerebral oxygenation was maintained during hemodialysis. However, despite maintained ejection fraction, intradialytic myocardial strain worsened in pediatric hemodialysis and was associated with blood volume change. The effect of hemodialysis on individual organ perfusion in pediatric versus adult patients receiving hemodialysis might differ.

Abstract
Intradialytic hypotension (IDH) is a hemodynamic phenomenon recently associated with decreased blood oxygen saturation (SO2). The ratio between peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) and central venous SO2 (ScvO2) or Oxygen Extraction Ratio (OER), which represents a roughly estimate of the amount of oxygen claimed by peripheral tissues, might be used to estimate haemodialysis (HD) related hypoxic stress. Aim of this pilot study was to evaluate the relationship between OER increments during dialysis sessions (ΔOER) and episodes of IDH. We enrolled chronic HD patients with permanent central venous catheter (CVC) and no fistula, in whom ScvO2 measurement is at hand. OER ([(SpO2 − ScvO2)/SpO2] × 100) was measured in three consecutive HD sessions (HD OER sessions) before HD, after 15′, 30′ and 60′ min and at the end of HD. Then, a one-year follow-up was planned to record the number of IDH episodes. In the 28 enrolled patients (age 74 ± 2.6 years), during 12 ± 1.2 months of follow up, incidence of IDH was 3.6%. We divided patients into two groups, above or below the median value of ΔOER at the end of HD, which was 36%. In these groups, the average incidence of IDH was 7% and 2% respectively (p < 0.01), while OER values before HD were not different. Notably, in the high ΔOER group the OER increment was evident since after 15′ and was significantly higher than in the low ∆OER group (∆OER-15′ = 19 ± 3.0% vs. 9.0 ± 3.0%; p < 0.05). By comparison, blood volume changes overlapped in the two groups (average change − 9 ± 0.8%). Values of ∆OER > 19% after only 15′ of HD treatment or > 36% at the end of the session characterize patients with higher rates of hypotension. Intradialytic ∆OER, a parameter of tissue hypoxic stress, identifies more fragile patients at greater risk of IDH.

Abstract
An increasing number of patients require renal replacement therapy through dialysis and renal transplantation. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects a large percentage of the world's population and has evolved into a major public health concern. Diabetes mellitus, high blood pressure and a family history of kidney failure are all major risk factors for CKD. Patients in advanced stages of CKD have varying degrees of cardiovascular damage. Comorbidities of these patients, include, on the one hand, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, hyperglycemia, hyperuricemia and, on the other hand, the presence of mineral-bone disorders associated with CKD and chronic inflammation, which contribute to cardiovascular involvement. Acute complications occur quite frequently during dialysis. Among these, the most important are cardiovascular complications, which influence the morbidity and mortality rates of this group of patients. Chronic hemodialysis patients manifest acute cardiovascular complications such as intradialytic hypotension, intradialytic hypertension, arrhythmias, acute coronary syndromes and sudden death. Thus, proper management is extremely important.

The oxygen cascade in patients treated with hemodialysis and native high-altitude dwellers: lessons from extreme physiology to benefit patients with end-stage renal disease.

Abstract
Patients treated with hemodialysis (HD) repeatedly undergo intradialytic low arterial oxygen saturation and low central venous oxygen saturation, reflecting an imbalance between upper body systemic oxygen supply and demand, which are associated with increased mortality. Abnormalities along the entire oxygen cascade, with impaired diffusive and convective oxygen transport, contribute to the reduced tissue oxygen supply. HD treatment impairs pulmonary gas exchange and reduces ventilatory drive, whereas ultrafiltration can reduce tissue perfusion due to a decline in cardiac output. In addition to these factors, capillary rarefaction and reduced mitochondrial efficacy can further affect the balance between cellular oxygen supply and demand. Whereas it has been convincingly demonstrated that a reduced perfusion of heart and brain during HD contributes to organ damage, the significance of systemic hypoxia remains uncertain, although it may contribute to oxidative stress, systemic inflammation, and accelerated senescence. These abnormalities along the oxygen cascade of patients treated with HD appear to be diametrically opposite to the situation in Tibetan highlanders and Sherpa, whose physiology adapted to the inescapable hypobaric hypoxia of their living environment over many generations. Their adaptation includes pulmonary, vascular, and metabolic alterations with enhanced capillary density, nitric oxide production, and mitochondrial efficacy without oxidative stress. Improving the tissue oxygen supply in patients treated with HD depends primarily on preventing hemodynamic instability by increasing dialysis time/frequency or prescribing cool dialysis. Whether dietary or pharmacological interventions, such as the administration of L-arginine, fermented food, nitrate, nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 agonists, or prolyl hydroxylase 2 inhibitors, improve clinical outcome in patients treated with HD warrants future research.

Abstract
Hemodialysis has saved many lives, albeit with significant residual mortality. Although poor outcomes may reflect advanced age and comorbid conditions, hemodialysis per se may harm patients, contributing to morbidity and perhaps mortality. Systemic circulatory "stress" resulting from hemodialysis treatment schedule may act as a disease modifier, resulting in a multiorgan injury superimposed on preexistent comorbidities. New functional intradialytic imaging (i.e., echocardiography, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging [MRI]) and kinetic of specific cardiac biomarkers (i.e., Troponin I) have clearly documented this additional source of end-organ damage. In this context, several factors resulting from patient-hemodialysis interaction and/or patient management have been identified. Intradialytic hypovolemia, hypotensive episodes, hypoxemia, solutes, and electrolyte fluxes as well as cardiac arrhythmias are among the contributing factors to systemic circulatory stress that are induced by hemodialysis. Additionally, these factors contribute to patients' symptom burden, impair cognitive function, and finally have a negative impact on patients' perception and quality of life. In this review, we summarize the adverse systemic effects of current intermittent hemodialysis therapy, their pathophysiologic consequences, review the evidence for interventions that are cardioprotective, and explore new approaches that may further reduce the systemic burden of hemodialysis. These include improved biocompatible materials, smart dialysis machines that automatically may control the fluxes of solutes and electrolytes, volume and hemodynamic control, health trackers, and potentially disruptive technologies facilitating a more personalized medicine approach.

Abstract
Digitization of healthcare will be a major innovation driver in the coming decade. Also, enabled by technological advancements and electronics miniaturization, wearable health device (WHD) applications are expected to grow exponentially. This, in turn, may make 4P medicine (predictive, precise, preventive and personalized) a more attainable goal within dialysis patient care. This article discusses different use cases where WHD could be of relevance for dialysis patient care, i.e. measurement of heart rate, arrhythmia detection, blood pressure, hyperkalaemia, fluid overload and physical activity. After adequate validation of the different WHD in this specific population, data obtained from WHD could form part of a body area network (BAN), which could serve different purposes such as feedback on actionable parameters like physical inactivity, fluid overload, danger signalling or event prediction. For a BAN to become clinical reality, not only must technical issues, cybersecurity and data privacy be addressed, but also adequate models based on artificial intelligence and mathematical analysis need to be developed for signal optimization, data representation, data reliability labelling and interpretation. Moreover, the potential of WHD and BAN can only be fulfilled if they are part of a transformative healthcare system with a shared responsibility between patients, healthcare providers and the payors, using a step-up approach that may include digital assistants and dedicated ‘digital clinics’. The coming decade will be critical in observing how these developments will impact and transform dialysis patient care and will undoubtedly ask for an increased ‘digital literacy’ for all those implicated in their care.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Noninvasive hematocrit monitoring (NIVHM) during pediatric hemodialysis (pedHD) provides data in real time regarding changes in hematocrit and blood volume and also provides venous oxygen saturations. The latter has been proposed to indicate changes in tissue oxygen consumption. It is not known how well NIVHM oxygen saturations (O2sat) approximate blood gas measured oximetry saturation (mO2sat) in the course of pedHD. We aimed to assess the validity and reliability of NIVHM O2sat compared to mO2sat. METHODS This is a prospective study in 15 patients <21 years old with >90 days on hemodialysis (HD) without congenital heart disease. HD access was fistula (AVF) in 4 patients and tunneled catheters in the remainder. Pulse oximetry (spO2) was continuously monitored; mO2sat was measured via oximetry in a blood gas analyzer and NIVHM O2sat values collected at the start, middle, and end of HD treatment. RESULTS A total of 45 dyad measurements were obtained. NIVHM O2sat correlated well with mO2sat (R = 0.89, p < 0.0001); the same was seen at pre, mid, and post HD time points (R = 0.86-0.95, p < 0.001). NIVHM O2sat was lower than mO2sat; with catheter as access, the difference was 9.3 ± 8.6 (CI: 12.3-6.22, p < 0.0001) and with AVF was 2.1 ± 0.78 (CI: 2.6-1.7, p < 0.0001). Bland-Altman analysis demonstrated the difference but did not show any systematic bias. Continuous monitor of spO2 showed no hypoxia. DISCUSSION/CONCLUSION Intradialytic NIVHM O2sat correlates well with mO2sat but yield lower values. Future studies can include NIVHM O2sat changes as a surrogate for central venous O2 saturation changes and potentially yield useful information regarding tissue oxygen consumption in pedHD patients.

Abstract
Background Patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) are required to undergo consecutive time-based blood and biochemical tests to determine the progression of the disease according to changes in their blood and biochemical data. This study employed a random intercept model to investigate whether time-based blood and biochemical data present any notable clinical meaning that can be used to track disease progression. Methods This study conducted a retrospective analysis on the dialytic data of 148 patients with ESKD, who received hemodialysis between January 2005 and December 2015. The patients were all at least 20 years old, and the data used included patient demographic information and results for at least 60 blood and biochemical tests. A random intercept model was used to analyze the relationships among blood and biochemical test results, explanatory variables of patient comorbidities, and time. Results The age range of patients was between 33 and 98 years, with an average of 66.1 years and those over 65 years old comprising 51.3% (n = 76) of the total. Furthermore, hypertension was found to be the most common comorbidity among patients (87.2%, n = 129), followed by anemia (48.6%, n = 72), diabetes (47.3%, n = 70), dyslipidemia (19.6%, n = 29), and peptic ulcer (19.6%, n = 29). Coronary atherosclerotic heart disease is a comorbidity that can serve as a strong and independent marker for prognosis in patients with ESKD. Serum creatinine level can serve as an alternative indicator because patients with ESKD and comorbid diabetes may exhibit increased creatinine levels. Conclusions The results of a parameter estimation for longitudinal data analysis suggested that comorbidity and time were critical variables influencing blood and biochemical test results. Furthermore, WBC and HBC, HCT, albumin, protein, and creatinine levels were recognized as variables of critical significance. The results obtained in this study indicate that multimorbidity increases the treatment burden on patients, leading to polypharmacy. For this reason, comprehensive care and treatment of ESKD cannot rely solely on data from one single time point; instead, longitudinal analysis and other data that can affect patient prognosis must also be considered.

Abstract
Intradialytic hypotension is the most common complication of hemodialysis (HD) treatments. Excessive ultrafiltration results in reduced cardiac preload. We aimed to determine whether a fall in systolic blood pressure during HD was greater in patients starting HD with (a) less overhydration measured by extracellular water (ECW) and (b) lower cardiac preload by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Pre-HD measurements of ECW and total body water (TBW) were performed using multifrequency bioimpedance (MFBIA). Cardiac chamber sizes and functions were determined by MRI. Twenty-six patients, 18 males (69.2%), 11 (42.3%) with diabetes, mean age 63.9 ± 15.9 years were studied. Systolic blood pressure (SBP) fell in 15 (57.7%) patients, and either did not change or increased in 9. There was no difference in demographics between groups. Patients with a fall in SBP had lower pre-HD ECW/TBW (0.400 ± 0.018 vs 0.418 ± 0.021), indexed right ventricular end-diastolic volume (81.2 ± 37.6 vs 100.8 ± 33.7 mL/m2 ), and indexed left atrial size (13.7 ± 3.9 vs 18.3 ± 5.0 mL/m2 ), all P < .05, respectively. There were univariate correlations between the change in SBP and pre-HD ECW/TBW for the trunk (r = .50, P = .009) and indexed left atrial volume (r = .54, P = .005). A fall in blood pressure occurred more commonly in patients starting HD with lower overhydration as measured by bioimpedance, and those with smaller cardiac chamber sizes. Patients with the lowest ECW/TBW and smallest cardiac chamber sizes had the greatest falls in SBP. This study reinforces the importance of determining physiological target weights and avoiding inappropriately low target weights for HD patients.

Abstract
Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is used to monitor cerebral tissue oxygenation (rSO2) depending on cerebral blood flow (CBF), cerebral blood volume and blood oxygen content. We explored whether NIRS might be a more easy applicable proxy to [15O]H2O positron emission tomography (PET) for detecting CBF changes during hemodialysis. Furthermore, we compared potential determinants of rSO2 and CBF. In 12 patients aged ≥ 65 years, NIRS and PET were performed simultaneously: before (T1), early after start (T2), and at the end of hemodialysis (T3). Between T1 and T3, the relative change in frontal rSO2 (ΔrSO2) was -8 ± 9% (P = 0.001) and -5 ± 11% (P = 0.08), whereas the relative change in frontal gray matter CBF (ΔCBF) was -11 ± 18% (P = 0.009) and -12 ± 16% (P = 0.007) for the left and right hemisphere, respectively. ΔrSO2 and ΔCBF were weakly correlated for the left (ρ 0.31, P = 0.4), and moderately correlated for the right (ρ 0.69, P = 0.03) hemisphere. The Bland-Altman plot suggested underestimation of ΔCBF by NIRS. Divergent associations of pH, pCO2 and arterial oxygen content with rSO2 were found compared to corresponding associations with CBF. In conclusion, NIRS could be a proxy to PET to detect intradialytic CBF changes, although NIRS and PET capture different physiological parameters of the brain.

Abstract
Linear heart rate variability (HRV) indices are dependent on the mean heart rate, which has been demonstrated in different models (from sinoatrial cells to humans). The association between nonlinear HRV indices, including those provided by recurrence plot quantitative analysis (RQA), and the mean heart rate (or the mean cardiac period, also called meanNN) has been scarcely studied. For this purpose, we analyzed RQA indices of five minute-long HRV time series obtained in the supine position and during active standing from 30 healthy subjects and 29 end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients (before and after hemodialysis). In the supine position, ESRD patients showed shorter meanNN (i.e., faster heart rate) and decreased variability compared to healthy subjects. The healthy subjects responded to active standing by shortening the meanNN and decreasing HRV indices to reach similar values of ESRD patients. Bivariate correlations between all RQA indices and meanNN were significant in healthy subjects and ESRD after hemodialysis and for most RQA indices in ESRD patients before hemodialysis. Multiple linear regression analyses showed that RQA indices were also dependent on the position and the ESRD condition. Then, future studies should consider the association among RQA indices, meanNN, and these other factors for a correct interpretation of HRV.

Abstract
The assessment of spontaneous variability of blood pressure and heart rate is based on specific physiological hypotheses about dynamic features, for example, the baroreflex modulation of heart rate over time in daily life. Usually, arterial baroreflex control of heart rate is explored without delays between blood pressure and heart rate data points, within a narrow range of values, excluding the analysis of saturation regions or low-threshold changes. In this work, we examine the dynamic interactions between systolic blood pressure (SBP) and interbeat interval (IBI), in 15-min length time series and for the first time using the analysis of diagonals derived from a cross-recurrence plots in healthy persons and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. We found that ESRD patients have stronger intermittent dynamical interactions between IBI and SBP, but they lose most of the dynamical interactions. Although healthy subjects exhibit a continuously changing order of precedence between IBI and SBP at different lags, ESRD patients preserve this changing order of precedence only for lags >0 beats.NEW & NOTEWORTHY This study is the first to compare the time-variant pattern of systolic blood pressure (SBP) and interbeat interval (IBI) coupling between ESRD patients and healthy volunteers through the analysis of diagonal in cross-recurrence plots, and in the face of an orthostatic challenge. Our results demonstrated alternant interactions on the order of precedence (IBI → SBP or SBP→ IBI) at different time delays. This pattern is different in resting position and during active standing for the two groups studied, and interestingly, some association patterns are lost in ESRD patients. These patterns of alternant interactions on the order of precedence could be related to autonomic neural activities and cardiovascular synchronization at different scales both in time and space. This could reflect physiological adaptive flexibility of cardiovascular regulation. Losing some association patterns in ESRD may be the result of chronic adjustments of many physiological mechanisms (including chronic sympathetic hyperactivity), which could increase cardiovascular vulnerability to hemodynamic challenges.

Abstract
Intradialytic hypotension (IDH) occurs in approximately 10-12% of treatments. Whereas several definitions for IDH are available, a nadir systolic blood pressure carries the strongest relation with outcome. Whereas the relation between IDH may partly be based on patient characteristics, it is likely that also impaired organ perfusion leading to permanent damage, plays a role in this relationship. The pathogenesis of IDH is multifactorial and is based on a combination of a decline in blood volume (BV) and impaired vascular resistance at a background of a reduced cardiovascular reserve. Measurements of absolute BV based on an on-line dilution method appear more promising than relative BV measurements in the prediction of IDH. Also, feedback treatments in which ultrafiltration rate is automatically adjusted based on changes in relative BV have not yet resulted in improvement. Frequent assessment of dry weight, attempting to reduce interdialytic weight gain and prescribing more frequent or longer dialysis treatments may aid in preventing IDH. The impaired vascular response can be improved using isothermic or cool dialysis treatment which has also been associated with a reduction in end organ damage, although their effect on mortality has not yet been assessed. For the future, identification of vulnerable patients based on artificial intelligence and on-line assessment of markers of organ perfusion may aid in individualizing treatment prescription, which will always remain dependent on the clinical context of the patient.

Abstract
Blood flow to internal organs is reported to fall during hemodialysis (HD). As such, noninvasive monitoring devices are required to detect changes in perfusion, which could then be used for therapeutic interventions. We report on a pilot study monitoring blood flow in the outer auditory meatus. We measured the maximum pulse wave amplitude and indicators of blood flow by analyzing red and green color changes in the outer auditory meatus from video recordings made using an otoscope fitted with a digital camera during HD treatments. We studied 61 patients, 43 (71.5%) male, mean age 64.9 ± 12.7 years. Weight fell from 72.8 ± 22.5 kg predialysis to 71.5 ± 22.1 kg postdialysis (P < 0.001). BP did not significantly change (predialysis 142 ± 29/67 ± 18 to 143 ± 25/68 ± 17 mm Hg postdialysis). The maximum pulse wave amplitude in the external auditory meatus fell from 0.21 (0.1-0.55) to 0.14 (0.04-0.4) after 90 min, P < 0.001, and remained low thereafter, and the change at the end of the dialysis session was associated with percentage weight loss (r = -0.37, P = 0.003). Green and red pixel values did not change (predialysis 0.339 [0.333-0.345] to 0.302 [0.291-0.33] post, and 0.301 [0.293-0.328] predialysis to 0.339 [0.334-0.347] post, respectively). This pilot study showed that the maximum pulse wave amplitude measured in the external auditory meatus fell during the dialysis session, and that the fall was associated with fluid removal. This could potentially lead to the development of a monitoring device, which could fit in the ear and record during the dialysis session.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Abnormalities in fluid status in hemodialysis (HD) patients are highly prevalent and are related to adverse outcomes. SUMMARY The inherent discontinuity of the HD procedure in combination with an often compromised cardiovascular response is a major contributor to this phenomenon. In addition, systemic inflammation and endothelial dysfunction are related to extracellular fluid overload (FO). Underlying this relation may be factors such as hypoalbuminemia and an increased capillary permeability, leading to an altered fluid distribution between the blood volume (BV) and the interstitial fluid compartments, compromising fluid removal during dialysis. Indeed, whereas estimates of extracellular volume by bioimpedance spectroscopy are highly predictive of mortality, absolute BV assessed by the saline dilution technique was predictive of intra-dialytic morbidity. Changes in relative BV during HD are positively related to ultrafiltration rate (UFR) and, at least in some studies, negatively to FO. High UFR is also related to changes in central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2), a marker for tissue perfusion. On the one hand, high UFR and more pronounced declines in ScvO2, but on the other hand, flat relative BV curves are also predictive of mortality; the relation between outcome which statics and dynamics of fluid status appears to be complex. Key Message: While technological developments enable the clinician to monitor statics and dynamics of fluid status and hemodynamics during HD in an accessible way, the role of technology-based interventions needs further study.
