Transcription

1 COI: Clinical Advisory Board for Nephroceuticals, Inc Alison Steiber, PhD, RD, LD Department of Nutrition Case Western Reserve University Cleveland, OH Concept: A primary deficiency refers to a lack or relative lack of the particular vitamin in the diet Secondary deficiency refers to the vitamin or mineral being available in the diet but a secondary reason is causing insufficiency Interruption in source Reduction in body storage Impairments in biochemical functioning Alteration in function/morphology Result: Clinical Manifestations* *Clinical manifestations target every organ

2 Primary observation: Nutrient supply Supplements Quantitative determination -food, beverages, supplements -OTC & RX drugs Determine: too little, too much, Should be adequate? Are there secondary factors to consider? Health/medical History, socio-economic issues, etc, etc Concomitant considerations: increased need, loss decreased availability decreased absorption Functional decline Altered growth Altered development Fatigue, physical signs Clinical evaluation: Physical exam Body composition Symptoms Labs Integration 1.Interpret the data: (combine information from) a. primary observations, b. intake Information, c. secondary considerations, d. laboratory information, e. clinical evaluation f. medical/health history Sore, painful, red mouth Tongue abnormalities. Potential Etiologies? Nutrient Deficit: B-complex, Iron Infections Local Irritants Dryness of mouth = xerostomia

3 Determining nutrient reserve status: stable, increased, decreased Consider: plasma, tissues Quantitative analysis of Blood, urine, tissues, Vitamin/metabolites Observe gradual alteration in levels? Stability of plasma, urine levels, etc Any changes in metabolic Pre-Clinical Quantitative analysis functioning? findings of enzyme activity functional parameters Interruption in source Reduction in body storage Impairments in biochemical functioning Where is individual in the spectrum of Status determination? Satisfactory frank deficiency Alteration in function/morphology Result: Clinical Manifestations* *Clinical manifestations target every organ Confirm diagnosis Determine intervention strategies: socio-cultural, economic, medical Monitor outcomes (aka trends/changes) Factors influencing vitamin need

4 Vitamin Vitamin B12: Vitamin A: Thiamin & Biotin: D,E,K, C : Folate : Mean length of reserves 3-5 years 1 2 years 4-10 days 2 to 6 weeks 3 to 4 months Source: Modern Nutrition in Health & Disease, most recent edition Little evidence to support practice Some epidemiological studies Some small & medium clinical trials No large RCT in CKD population, except in relation to homocysteine Practice guidelines KDOQI no information ESPEN small amount of data CARI small amount of data No one is the expert Due to the lack of data and knowledge in basic vitamin/mineral metabolism Healthcare team is hesitant to make recommendations RDs have the most comprehensive training and knowledge base to be the experts in this area Stage of CKD Diet Low protein vs very low protein Strict potassium/phosphorus restritictions Dialysis Treatment CAPD vs HD HD membrane type Medications E.g. contraceptives or penicillamine and B6

5 Guidelines Thiamin (B1) mg/day Riboflavin (B2) mg/day Niacin mg/day Pyridoxine (B6) mg/day Cobalamin (B12) µg/day Folate µg/day Vitamin C mg/day DRI Age>50 F=1.1 M=1.2 F=1.1 M=1.3 F=14 M=16 F=1.5 M=1.7 F=2.4 M=2.4 F=400 M=400 F=75 M=90 CARI * 1-2* NR 5* NR 200** <60 KDOQI NR NR NR NR NR NR NR ESPEN NR NR NR 5 NR NR Kopple Textbook mg DRI = dietary reference intakes, CARI = Caring for Australians with Renal Insufficiency, KDOQI = Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative, ESPEN = European Society of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, EDTA = European Dialysis and Transplant Association, NR= no recommendation for supplementation * Patients on protein restricted diets should be supplemented to this level **Pre-dialysis patients supplemented with erythropoietin may need supplementation Thiamin CKD NDD patients (n=14) plasma concentrations were lower compared to those patients receiving dialysis(n=24) [64.2nmol/l vs 78.3nmol/l] Frank et al In J of Vit Nutr Research, 2000 Healthy controls not measured in this study Oral intake higher for CKD-NDD than those on dialysis ETK-AC was (an ETK-AC no deficiency is <1.20) Wernicke s Encephalopathy in NS patient Nishida M, et al, Eur J Pediatr, 2000 B1 supplement reversed symptoms Conclusion? Oral intake of DRI may not be sufficient to meet biological need for CKD patients, need to assess for deficiency routinely. Recommended biological assessment = erythrocyte transketolase activity (ETKA) Riboflavin 8% of CKD-NDD patients, regardless of whether they are on a low protein diet, had inadequate riboflavin status (high α- EGR) Porrini et al. Int J Vitam Nutr Res Patients placed on lower protein diets had increase rates of ribolflavin deficiencies 1.0 g pro/kg/day = 25% deficient and 0.6 g/kg/day = 41% deficient Comparison between hospital pts with heart failure vs healthy volunteers Keith et al JADA, Aug 2009 Prevalence of riboflavin deficiency was significantly higher in heart failure patients than in health volunteers (27% vs 2.2%, p<0.001) Given the data that does exist & the high prevalence of heart failure in CKD, regular assessment of riboflavin status is warranted, esp. on patients with low & very low protein diets Recc. biological assessment: Erythrocyte glutathione reductase activity coefficient = α-egr

6 Niacin No data in CKD Ramirez et al 1986 found normal whole blood & red cell concentrations in HD pts Primary source: meat, fish, legumes, coffee and tea Suggest intake could be low in CKD-NDD patients on very low protein diets = assessment warranted Novel use of niacin involves the inhibition of Na-Pi 2a and 2b co-transporters in both the GI tract and the renal proximal tubules Use of large doses of niacin may increase excretion of P in urine & prevent absorption via the GI tract B-6 pyridoxal, pyridoxine, pyridoxamine Dietary intake of B-6 was found to be lower than the DRI in CKD-NDD (stage 4 & 5) kopple et al Kid International, 1981 Erythrocyte gluctamic pyruvic transaminase stimulation index or (EGPT) increased as the serum creatinine increased kopple et al Kid International, 1981 CKD stages 3 & 4 = EGPT index of 1.23 ± 0.09 (SD) CKD stages 4 & 5 = EGPT index of 1.30 ± 0.11 Hemodialysis = EGPT of 1.44 ± 0.39 Suggest reduced intake and higher activity levels warrant assessment and subsequent supplementation Suggest 5 mg/day Folic Acid No consistent evidence to indicate deficiency; However, primary food sources are legumes, orange juice, greens including spinach, broccoli, beets, artichokes, and enriched grains. Suggest intake may be low in those on a VLPD or phosphate restriction assessment warranted Recommended biological assessment: serum, plasma, or red-cell folate concentrations

8 Bottom line: *diet alone intake <100% of RDA/AI *with nutrition support >100% *plasma values wnl Don et al, JREN, 2010 Vitamin C: No consistent data in CKD-NDD demonstrate deficiency Suggest patients on potassium restrictions may have low vitamin C intake High intake has been associated with increased oxalate concentrations Recommended biological assessment: plasma and leukocyte ascorbic acid concentrations Singer et al, Nephrology, 2008

Results = increased incidence of heart failure, heart failure-related hospitalizations, & all-cause mortality (hazard ratio 1.13; 95% CI , P=0.4). This increased risk was associated with vitamin E intakes as low as 150 IU/day (136 mg/d).

JADA DOPPS Study 16,345 patients randomly selected from 308 HD units in US, Japan, 5 European countries 72% of US patient were prescribed water-soluble vitamins Europe ranged from Spain at 37.9% to 6.4% in Italy In the majority of Japanese units no water-soluble vitamin prescription was recorded Andreucci et al, AJKD, 2004

17 Lower death rate on MVI Domrose et al, Clin Nephrology, 2007 Stockler-Pinto et al, Nutrition, 2009

18 Vitamin & mineral status in CKD patients may be altered Treatment may improve outcomes including mortality rates Goal to detect sub-optimal status at an early stage to prevent overt clinical demise Using dietary intake to assess status is only the first step, but VERY imprecise!! Use physical exam, SGA, body comp measures Biochemical indicators helpful to assess status with increased reliability
