The global burden of chronic kidney disease attributable to high sodium intake: a comprehensive analysis of trends from 1990 to 2021 and burden prediction to 2040 by Yawen Lu, Lei Wang, Lei Wang, Jianfeng Ma, Yang Hu, Rumeng Zheng, Liping Liu, Kaili Lin, Kun Zhang, Yongfeng Wang, Yongfeng Wang, Yongfeng Wang, Yongfeng Wang, Yongfeng Wang, Sheng Li, Sheng Li, Hengping Li

“…BackgroundChronic kidney disease (CKD) is a progressive condition affecting over 10% of the global population, with high sodium intake identified as a critical modifiable risk factor. This study investigated the global burden of CKD due to excessive sodium intake in 204 countries and territories from 1990 to 2021 and made the first future projections to 2040, addressing gaps in longitudinal analysis of sodium-related CKD trends and demographic differences.MethodsData from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021 database were analyzed to quantify CKD-related deaths and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) linked to high sodium intake. …”

Evaluation and risk factors of arterial stiffness in patients given peritoneal dialysis by SU Xiao-yan, DING Su, ZHENG Wei-ping, ZOU Yuan-fang, LI Ai-ting, DENG Hui-zhao, HUANG Hui

“…Objective To evaluate and analyze risk factors of arterial stiffness in patients given peritoneal dialysis.Methods A total of 86 patients with end-stage kidney disease undergoing peritoneal dialysis,19-60 years old,without diabetes mellitus were enrolled.Baseline characteristics,brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity（baPWV） and other laboratory measurements were collected and analyzed.BaPWV was determined using an automated,non-invasive,waveform analysis device.Results According to baPWV,the patients were divided into high baPWV group（baPWV>1 400 cm/s,n =39） and normal baPWV group（baPWV<1 400 cm/s,n = 47）.As compared with CAPD patients with normal levels of baPWV,the CAPD patients with high levels of baPWV had significantly higher baPWV[（1 961 ±412） cm/s vs.（1 349 + 234） cm/s,P<0.01],longer dialysis duration,higher ischemia modified albumin[IMA,（95.8 ± 6.0） kU/L],and higher sensitivity C-reactive protein[hsCRP,（5.1±1.0）mg/L].In addition,the high baPWV CAPD patients also had a lower level of total urea clearance index（Kt/V,1.8±0.9）,total creatinine clearance[（56.5±11.4）L·W^-1·（1.73m²）^-1],residual GFR[rGFR,（3.8±1.0）L·W^-1·（1.73 m²）^-1],and serum albumin[（31.6±5.3）g/L].The correlation analysis showed that baPWV was significantly correlated with dialysis duration,serum calcium,IMA and hs-CRP,and negatively with total Kt/V,rGFR and serum albumin（P<0.05）.Logistic regression analysis revealed that dialysis duration,rGFR and hs-CRP were the most significant factors affecting baPWV in PD patients.Conclusions Arterial stiffness,assessed by baPWV,had an independent correlation with dialysis duration,residual renal function,microinflammation in young and middle-aged non-diabetic patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis.To protect the residual renal function,improve the inflammatory state,and improve the adequacy of peritoneal dialysis can reduce the risk of atherosclerosis in patients with peritoneal dialysis,and reduce the incidence of cardiovascular events.…”
