Kidney Replacement Therapy in Cardiorenal Syndromes

Table

Table 1. Summary of Studies Related to PD and Non-PD KRT in Congestive/Refractory Heart Failure and in Different Types of CRS
 
ReferenceDesignResults
KRT: kidney replacement therapy; CKD: chronic kidney disease; CRS: cardiorenal syndromes; ACS: acute coronary syndrome; CVVH: continuous veno-venous hemofiltration; HF-PEF: heart failure preserved ejection fraction; HF-REF: heart failure reduced ejection fraction; LVEF: left ventricular ejection fraction; NYHA: New York Heart Association; PD: peritoneal dialysis; SCUF: slow continuous ultrafiltration.
PD
  Al-Hwiesh et al, 2019 [43]Prospective, CRS type 1, ultrafiltration versus tidal PDTidal PD superior with regard to primary endpoint and tolerability
  Bertoli et al, 2014 [38]Retrospective, multicentric, refractory heart failure, PD regimens differed significantly between study sites, no control groupReduction of hospitalization time due to heart failure
  Cairns et al, 1968 [32]PD performed in 16 subjects with refractory heart failure, no control groupSubstantial volume depletion in 12 subjects
  Chopra et al, 1970 [33]Case study series in four subjects with refractory pulmonary edema due to myocardial infarctionRecompensation in three individuals
  Grossekettler et al, 2019 [41]Retrospective cohort study, refractory heart failure, no control groupImprovement of the NYHA stage and of hospitalization due to decompensation
  Koch et al, 2012 [37]Prospective, refractory heart failure NYHA stages 3 + 4 and CKD, nocturnal PD, 12 h per night, no control group, follow-up about 1 yearSurvival 77%, 71%, and 55% at months 3, 6, and 12; age, diabetes mellitus, serum urea, and brain natriuretic peptide associated with mortality
  McKinnie et al, 1985 [34]Case study in refractory heart failureProlonged control of volume status over 2 years
  Pavo et al, 2018 [4]Prospective, refractory right heart failure, no control groupNumber of hospitalizations declined; extended ascites, better residual renal function, and no help needed in performing PD were beneficial
  Ponce et al, 2017 [5]Prospective, CRS type 1, high-volume PD with targeted Kt/V (0.5), no control groupAge, ACS and positive fluid balance associated with mortality
  Rao et al, 2020 [44]Experimental porcine study, sodium-free dextrose solution for sodium elimination; proof-of-concept in humansEffective sodium elimination with almost no effect on serum electrolytes; tolerability in humans well
  Rubin and Ball, 1986 [35]Case study series in refractory heart failureProlonged control of volume status in eight subjects
  Shao et al, 2018 [40]Prospective, CRS type 2 and other CRS, follow-up until death or PD discontinuation, no control groupCRS type 2 identified as independent risk factor for death
  Tormey et al, 1996 [36]Case study series, intermittent ambulatory in refractory heart failureFollow-up period of 18 ± 10 months, reduction of in-hospital time and NYHA stage improvement from IV to II
  Wojtaszek et al, 2019 [42]Prospective, refractory heart failure, no control group, follow-up 24 ± 8 monthsNYHA stages improved, preserved left ventricular ejection fraction, decrease of cumulative hospitalization time
  Xue et al, 2019 [6]Retrospective cohort study; groups: non-CRS, acute heart failure, CRS type 2 and 4All types of CRS were not associated with mortality; CRS type 4 alone was
Non-PD KRT
  Bart et al, 2005 [48]RAPID-CHF trial, prospective, refractory heart failure, ultrafiltration - procedure not specified in detail, control group received drug therapy only, evaluation of subjects at 24 h after therapy initiationFluid removal about 4,600 mL in the ultrafiltration group versus about 2,800 mL in the control group; ultrafiltration well tolerated
  Bart et al, 2012 [49]CARRESS-HF trial, prospective, CRS type 1, control group received drug therapy only, so-called aquapheresisUltrafiltration inferior with regard to the composite endpoint delta serum creatinine and body weight loss; more side effects in the ultrafiltration group
  Costanzo et al, 2007 [51]Prospective, hypervolemic heart failure with left ventricular ejection fraction < 40%, ultrafiltration versus intravenous diuretic therapyUltrafiltration mediates more efficient volume depletion and reduces rehospitalization rate
  Costanzo et al, 2016 [45]AVOID-HF trial, prospective, multicentric, aquaphereses versus drug therapyStudy terminated prematurely due to higher rate of side effects in the aquapheresis group
  Leskovar et al, 2017 [46]Retrospective cohort study, refractory HF-REF or HF-PEF ± CKD stage 3 + 4, conventional hemodialysis, no control groupLower hospital readmission rate, shortening of the annual duration of hospital stay, improved 5-year survival (as compared to the general NHYA stage 4 population)
  Marenzi et al, 2014 [50]CUORE trial, prospective, congestive heart failure, ultrafiltration versus drug therapy as first-line treatmentRehospitalization was lower in subjects receiving ultrafiltration; extracoporal therapy associated with better renal outcome
  Premuzic et al, 2017 [47]Prospective, CRS types 1 and 2, CVVH versus SCUF, follow-up 24 months, no control groupHigher survival rates in CVVH-treated subjects
