Introduction. Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) is effective in reducing blood pressure. Mean arterial pressure falls within 6 months of starting CAPD in the majority of patients. This improved blood pressure control reflects removal of excess fluid volume and body sodium. However, after several years, there is a decline in the efficacy of CAPD in controlling blood pressure. High incidence of hypertension in long-term CAPD patients may be related to hypervolemia as a consequence of loss of residual renal function (RRF), loss of ultrafiltration (UF) due to functional or structural changes in the peritoneal membrane, to a more liberated intake of sodium and fluid, or to administration of erythropoietin. The aim of the present study was to compare the efficacy in blood pressure control in peritoneal dialysis patients depending on the dialysis modality and duration, RRF and dialysis adequacy. Material and methods. This study was a retrospective analysis of 67 patients who attended our Clinic monthly in 2003. All patients received antihy?pertensive therapy (monotherapy-16 pts, two drugs-27 pts, three drugs-22 pts and four-2 pts.). Results. The prevalence of hypertension (TA > 140/90 mmHg) was 73.13%. Most of them (50.75%) had mild hypertension (mean value TA < 160/100 mmHg). There was no statistically significant difference in hypertension prevalence between diabetic (78.27%) and non-diabetic patients (75%). The prevalence of hypertension in patients with residual diuresis of more than 1000 ml was 36.6%, but there were 80.64% patients with residual diuresis less than 500 ml. A statistically significant negative correlation was found between D/DO, UF volume and systolic blood pressure and RRF, D/DO and Ccr and diastolic blood pressure. A statistially significant positive correlation was found between age, body weight, duration of dialysis and systolic blood pressure and age and diastolic blood pressure. Conclusion. We can conclude that duration of PD treatment has a negative effect on blood pressure control. Residual renal function plays an important role in volume and blood pressure control. High and high average transporters are the two groups of patients at increased risk of developing hypertension, especially if they are anuric. .

Background Potential risk factors for 1-year mortality, including the peritoneal component of dialysis dose, residual renal function, demographic data, hematocrit, serum albumin, dialysate-to-plasma creatinine ratio, and blood pressure, were examined in a national cohort of peritoneal dialysis patients randomly selected for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) Core Indicators Project. Methods The study involved retrospective analysis of a cohort of 1219 patients receiving chronic peritoneal dialysis who were alive on December 31, 1996. Results During the 1-year follow-up period, 275 patients were censored and 200 non censored patients died. Among the 763 patients who had at least one calculable adequacy measure, the mean [± standard deviation (SD)] weekly Kt/V urea was 2.16 ± 0.61 and the mean weekly creatinine clearance was 66.1 ± 24.4 L/1.73 m2. Excluding the 365 patients who were anuric, the mean (±SD) urinary weekly Kt/V urea was 0.64 ± 0.52 (median: 0.51) and the mean (±SD) urinary weekly creatinine clearance was 31.0 ± 23.3 L/1.73 m2 (median: 26.3 L/1.73 m2). By Cox proportional hazard modeling, lower quartiles of renal Kt/V urea were predictive of 1-year mortality; lower quartiles of renal creatinine clearance were of borderline significance for predicting 1-year mortality. The dialysate component of neither the weekly creatinine clearance nor the weekly Kt/V urea were predictive of 1-year mortality. Other predictors of 1-year mortality ( p < 0.01) included lower serum albumin level, older age, and the presence of diabetes mellitus as the cause of ESRD, and, for the creatinine clearance model only, lower diastolic blood pressure. Conclusion Residual renal function is an important predictor of 1-year mortality in chronic peritoneal dialysis patients.

Abstract Background and Aims Renovascular disease is rare but important treatable cause of secondary hypertension in children. We aimed to evaluate the clinical presentations and long-term outcomes of pediatric patients with renovascular hypertension (RVH). Method We retrospectively reviewed medical records of patients with renovascular disease at our center between 1994 and 2019. Clinical courses including status of hypertension control with preservation of renal function during follow up were evaluated. Results 20 patients were diagnosed with RVH. 50 % (n = 10) were male, and median age at diagnosis was 10.1 (range 1.3 – 17.2) years, and median follow up period was 8.7 (range 0.1 – 24.6) years. 50 % (n = 10) presented with incidently detected high blood pressure (8 patients without symptoms, one with headache, and the other one with proteinuria), 25 % (n = 5) first admitted due to heart failure symptoms, and the rest (25 %, n = 5) presented with neurologic symptoms including seizure or paraplegia. Majority had no underlying disease except for 3 patients with Moyamoya disease. 80 % (n = 16) had unilateral renovascular stenosis. All patients showed elevated basal random renin activity (median 20.0, range 2.5 – 62.1 ng/ml/hr), and 45 % (n = 9) patients showed elevated basal random aldosterone level (median 822, range 266 – 2440 pg/ml). All patients needed antihypertensive medications for blood pressure control; 35 % (n = 7) of patients gained good control of blood pressure only with antihypertensive agents including angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor/angiotensin receptor blocker (ACEI/ARB), 40 % (n = 8) of patients who underwent percutaneous transluminal angioplasty all still needed antihypertensive agents including ACEI for blood pressure control. 20 % (n = 4) of the patients initially showed profoundly low relative function of involved kidney on diuretic scan, leading to nephrectomy. Three of these patients with nephrectomy successfully discontinued all antihypertensive agent gaining good control of blood pressure. The remaining one patient showed progressive deterioration of relative function on the involved side of kidney during 13 years, ended up with nephrectomy, but couldn’t discontinue ACEI. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was within normal range for all patients at diagnosis. For patients without nephrectomy, mean relative function of the involved kidney on diuretic scan was 33.5 ± 11.4 % at diagnosis. There was no significant change or deterioration of relative renal function during a mean follow up period of 10 ± 8 (median 11.5, range 0 – 19.5) years, although they all used ACEI/ARB. All patients including patients with nephrectomy showed normal GFR with a mean of 114.1 ± 19.5 ml/min/1.73 m2 at the last follow up. Conclusion Antihypertensive medications including ACEI and ARB were safely used with no further deterioration of the renal function of the involved side with or without angioplasty. Pediatric RVH is well managed with preserved renal function in long-term follow up.

The aim of our study was to evaluate the efficacy and bioavailibility of a commonly used oral furosemide dose (500 mg) compared to a 250 mg intravenous (IV) dose in PD patients with significant residual renal function (urine volume > 100 mL). We also evaluated the immediate blood pressure effect in these patients. The data were obtained from a study we performed for the homologation of a 500-mg dose of furosemide by Health Canada.
