Cardiovascular Risk In Chronic Kidney Disease
Chronic Kidney Disease
• Persistent Renal Damage on Biopsy or Imaging
• Persistant abnormal urinalysis• Glomerular Filtration Rate
<60mL/min/1.73m2

What Do People With ERF Die Of ?• Cardiac death slightly increased compared to the general
population
BUT
• Age related risk for Cardiac death is very differentx200 age 25-29x5 age 80-84
![Page 9: Cardiovascular Risk In Chronic Kidney Disease Dr Ginny Quan.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e575503460f94b5049e/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Early CKD Predicts Risk of Cardiovascular Disease
HOORN Study:
•Population based cohort, n=631
•Age 50-75 yrs
•Followed 10.2 yrs
•5ml/min drop in GFR increased risk of CV death by 26%

Early CKD Predicts Risk Of Cardiovascular Disease
The hazard ratio for renal dysfunction in the HOPE study was as high as that conferred by diabetes
![Page 12: Cardiovascular Risk In Chronic Kidney Disease Dr Ginny Quan.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e575503460f94b5049e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Microalbuminuria/Proteinuria Predicts Risk of Cardiovascular
Disease
• Predicts CV risk in DM
• Predicts CV mortality in general population- PREVEND increase in cardiovascular mortality of 1.35 for
each doubling of urinary albumin excretion
• Predicts CV risk in patients with other high risk factors- HOPE, Linear association between microalbuminuria and
an increased risk of endpoint
![Page 13: Cardiovascular Risk In Chronic Kidney Disease Dr Ginny Quan.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e575503460f94b5049e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Cardiovascular Risk In CKD
• Cardiovascular risk increases as soon as chronic kidney disease can be measured
• As renal function deteriorates risk of cardiovascular disease increases proportionally
• In ESRD cardiovascular risk up to 200 times the general population
• CKD associated with poorer outcome post cardiovascular events
![Page 14: Cardiovascular Risk In Chronic Kidney Disease Dr Ginny Quan.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e575503460f94b5049e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Is It Important ?
• Prevalence diagnosed CKD estimated at 5554 pmp (0.5%)
• >80% will not develop ESRD
• Majority of these will die of CVD
• Population screening studies estimate up to 10% population with CKD
![Page 15: Cardiovascular Risk In Chronic Kidney Disease Dr Ginny Quan.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e575503460f94b5049e/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

1. Increased Prevalence of Conventional Risk Factors
![Page 17: Cardiovascular Risk In Chronic Kidney Disease Dr Ginny Quan.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e575503460f94b5049e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
What factors are responsible?
2. Non-conventional risk factors
•Cardiac disease is atypical in CKD
•CKD is a risk factor for Cardiovascular disease independent of known risk factors
![Page 18: Cardiovascular Risk In Chronic Kidney Disease Dr Ginny Quan.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e575503460f94b5049e/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Cardiac Disease is Atypical in Renal Disease
General population:• Cardiac death mostly
due to Coronary Heart Disease
• 5% Have LVH on Echo
• Coronary artery calcification unusual
ESRD:• Cardiac death often
due to Cardiomyopathy /arrhythmia/CHF
• 75% Have LVH on Echo
• High incidence of coronary artery calcification
![Page 19: Cardiovascular Risk In Chronic Kidney Disease Dr Ginny Quan.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e575503460f94b5049e/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
What factors are responsible?
3. Lack of risk factor modification• Failure to recognise early CKD as a risk
factor for cardiovascular disease• Lack of trials in CKD patients• Fear of polypharmacy and side effects
in patients with severe renal disease
![Page 20: Cardiovascular Risk In Chronic Kidney Disease Dr Ginny Quan.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e575503460f94b5049e/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

LVH and Myocardial Dysfunction
Risk factors for LVH:
• Hypertension is treatable
• Anaemia is preventable and treatable– >95% of patients will respond to Epo
![Page 29: Cardiovascular Risk In Chronic Kidney Disease Dr Ginny Quan.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e575503460f94b5049e/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

Treatment of Hypertension leads to regression of LVH in
ESRD• LVH shown to regress with:
– Treatment of hypertension in ESRD – Treatment of hypertension in Chronic renal
failure– Treatment of anaemia in ESRD
• Regression of LVH in one study associated with improved cardiac outcomeFoley RN; J Am Soc Nephrol 2000

Cardiovascular Disease and Hypertension in the general
population
• Cardiovascular risk increases progressively as blood pressure increases
• ? Threshold: relationship holds for blood pressures above 110/75
• Treating blood pressure <140/90 or lower reduces cardiovascular mortality and morbidity
.
![Page 33: Cardiovascular Risk In Chronic Kidney Disease Dr Ginny Quan.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e575503460f94b5049e/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
CHD Mortality Related to Blood Pressure
Early renal failure estimated to increase diastolic blood pressure 10-20mmHg if untreated
![Page 34: Cardiovascular Risk In Chronic Kidney Disease Dr Ginny Quan.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e575503460f94b5049e/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Cardiovascular Disease and Hypertension in CKD
• ESRD– BP>140/90 associated with increased cardiovascular risk– Duration of hypertension prior to dialysis correlates with
mortality
• CKD– Subgroup analysis hypertension greater cardiovascular risk
factor than general population
• No major trials looking at reduction cardiovascular risk with BP reduction in renal patients
BUT • Biggest reduction in general population is evident in subgroups
– Other risk factors/Underlying target organ damage

Hypertension in Renal Disease-The size of the problem
• CKD– 50-90% hypertensive depending on stage
/disease– Around 50% not adequately controlled ie
>140/90
• ESRD– 80% of ESRD patients have hypertension– 50%-70% DO NOT achieve BP<130/80
![Page 37: Cardiovascular Risk In Chronic Kidney Disease Dr Ginny Quan.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e575503460f94b5049e/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Treating Hypertension in Renal Disease Has Other Massive
Advantages• Lowering blood pressure slows
progression of renal disease– Bp reduced from 130/80 to 125/75 reduces
decline in GFR by 10.2ml/min/yr -6.7ml/min/yr (mdrd trial)
• In renal disease aim for– <125/75 with proteinuria– <130/80 without proteinuria

Summary: Recommendations for BP
Control in Renal disease• If target organ damage (Renal+proteinuria)
– Aim for BP<125/75
• If possible ACE first line
• On haemodialysis renal association standards – pre-dialysis <140/90– post-dialysis <130/80

Treatment of anaemia prior to ESRD
Evidence now for correcting anaemia prior to dialysis:– Patients feel better– Reduces LVH– Improves survival after starting dialysis
• 4800 patients followed prospectively after starting dialysis• EPO given prior to starting improved survival afterwards

Summary: Treatment of Anaemia
• Treat anaemia with recombinant EPO otherwise Hb stabilises at 7.0g/dl in CRF– £5000 per patient/year
• Treat early-Anaemia can first develops at a GFR <30ml/min (creatinine of 200umol/l)
• Target Hb >11g/dl

Coronary Artery Disease is Atypical in Renal Disease
• Dialysis patients age 20-30yrs – 88% of dialysis patients had some coronary
artery calcification– 5% of controls
• Coronary Artery calcification related to:– Length of time on dialysis– Calcium -phosphate product– Daily dose of calcium

Coronary Calcification In Renal Patients
In CKD/ESRD AIM TO:• Normalise phosphate• Reduce parathyroid hormone levels • Avoid hypercalcaemia
UNTIL RECENTLY OPTIONS LIMITED:• Aluminium binders –long term toxicity• Calcium binders-risk of hypercalcaemia /metastatic
calcification• Vitamin D (alphacalcidol)-risk of hypercalcaemia and
hyperphosphataemia
![Page 50: Cardiovascular Risk In Chronic Kidney Disease Dr Ginny Quan.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e575503460f94b5049e/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Coronary Calcification In Renal Patients
New phosphate binder-Sevelamer • Not absorbed• Lowers lipids • May halt progression of coronary calcification• Initial trials suggest mortality benefit (DCOR)
New Vit D compounds –Paricalcitol• Reduce PTH levels • Minimal increase in calcium and phosphate
Calcimimetics-Cinacalcet• Stimulates calcium receptor • Lowers PTH without increasing calcium and phosphate

Reduction in Total and LDL cholesterol reduces coronary events
25-35% coronary events shown in all trials
• Almost all trials used statins
• Reduction shown in primary and secondary prevention
1-2mmol/l LDL, risk 25-40%

What Happens To Lipids In Renal Disease?
• Initially: – Rise in LDL cholesterol – Fall in HDL Cholesterol– Rise in triglycerides
• Endstage:– Total Cholesterol normal/low – LDL /HDL remains abnormal
All Changes Begin Early In Renal Disease

•? Intersection of the risks of malnutrition/inflammation and the risks of CHD
The relationship with cholesterol and CHD is atypical

How Should Renal Patients be Assessed?
• Epidemiologically renal patients at high risk– most ESRD >30% 10yr risk of CHD
BUT
• CHD is atypical in renal failure – Does cholesterol have the same significance?

Statins May Also Slow Disease Progression
• Trials suggest statins may reduce the rate of progression to renal impairment
• ? Secondary to cholesterol lowering
• ? Secondary to separate anti-inflammatory effects

Summary: Recommendations for Now
40% will be high risk for other reasons
• UK guidelines for high risk group– LDL < 3.0mmol/l or Total cholesterol < 5.0mmol/l
• NKF recommends Controlling the epidemic of CV disease in CRD 1998 – Renal dysfunction: highest risk group for coronary events– Aim for LDL<2.5mmol/l using statin
• No specific recommendation from Renal Association Standards

In Conclusion
• Renal patients die of cardiac disease at a young age
• Increased risk is present as soon as renal dysfunction is measurable
• Due to:– Increased incidence of traditional risk factors– Other renal related factors
• Strategies to decrease excessive cardiac death in renal patients should begin early

In a renal cardiac polypill I would put….
• ACE/ARB • Other antihypertensives to achieve BP
lower than 130/80• Epo once Hb below 11.0• Statin if cholesterol >6.0 or if >5.0 and
other risk factors• ?Aspirin dependent on other risk factors

Meta-analysis of lipid lowering studies in CRF
• Statins most effective in lowering LDL cholesterol/total cholesterol
• Increased risk of myopathy
• Rhabdomyolysis (pain+CK>x10) almost always with drug combinations

Homocysteine
• High homocysteine levels associated with an increased cardiovascular risk in general population
• Homocysteine levels increased in CRF
• No evidence that treating homocysteine levels make a difference
• If treating: folate /B12 /B6• But to have an effect in renal failure may need
high doses – eg 15mg folic acid (B6 100mg/day B12 1mg/day) did not
normalise levels

Homocysteine
• High homocysteine levels associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease Homocysteine not as important as hypercholesterolemia, smoking, diabetes mellitus, and hypertension
• Homocysteine levels increased in CRF• Observational data links homocsyteine to cardiovascular
disease in ESRD• No evidence that treating makes a difference• If treating 5mg /day in CRF or if levels of >30umol/l +B12
and B6• But studies suggest that to have an effect in renal failure
may need higher dose eg 15mg folic acid (B6 100mg/day B12 1mg/day) even then did not normalise levels
