    Abstract: There are major gaps in the implementation of guideline-concordant care for persons with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The CKD Cascade of Care (C 3 ) initiative seeks to improve CKD care by improving detection and treatment of CKD in primary care. Methods C 3 is a multi-modal initiative deployed in three major academic medical centers within the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Health Care System: San Francisco VA, San Diego VA, and Houston VA. The main objective of the first phase of C 3 described in this protocol is to establish the infrastructure for universal CKD detection among primary care patients at high-risk for CKD with a triple-marker screen comprising cystatin C, creatinine, and albuminuria. Across the three sites, a comprehensive educational intervention and the integration of primary care-based clinical champions will be employed with the goal of improving CKD detection and treatment. The San Francisco VA will also implement a practice-facilitation intervention leveraging telehealth and health informatics tools and capabilities for enhanced CKD detection. Parallel formative evaluation across the three sites will assess the feasibility and acceptability of integrating cystatin C as part of routine CKD detection in primary care practice. The effectiveness of the interventions will be assessed using a pre-post observational design for change in the proportion of patients tested annually for CKD. Secondary outcomes will assess change in the initiation of cardio-kidney protective therapies and in nephrology referrals of high-risk patients. Discussion The first phase of C 3 is a multi-facility multi-modal initiative that aims to improve CKD care by implementing a triple-marker screen for enhanced CKD detection in primary care.

    Abstract: To assess the prevalence and correlates of prescription of sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) and/or glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP1-RA) in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with and without chronic kidney disease (CKD). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS This was a cross-sectional analyses of SGLT2i and GLP1-RA prescriptions from 1 January 2019 to 31 December 2020 in the Veterans Health Administration System. The likelihood of prescriptions was examined by the presence or absence of CKD and by predicted risks of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) and end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). RESULTS Of 1,197,880 adults with T2DM, SGLT2i and GLP1-RA were prescribed to 11% and 8% of patients overall, and to 12% and 10% of those with concomitant CKD, respectively. In adjusted models, patients with severe albuminuria were less likely to be prescribed SGLT2i or GLP1-RA versus nonalbuminuric patients with CKD, with odds ratios (ORs) of 0.91 (95% CI 0.89, 0.93) and 0.97 (0.94, 1.00), respectively. Patients with a 10-year ASCVD risk & gt;20% (vs. & lt;5%), had lower odds of SGLT2i use (OR 0.66 [0.61, 0.71]) and GLP1-RA prescription (OR 0.55 [0.52, 0.59] ). A 5-year ESKD risk & gt;5%, compared with & lt;1%, was associated with lower likelihood of SGLT2i prescription (OR 0.63 [0.59, 0.67]) but higher likelihood of GLP1-RA prescription (OR 1.53 [1.46, 1.61] ). CONCLUSIONS Among a large cohort of patients with T2DM, prescription of SGLT2i and GLP1-RA was low in those with CKD. We observed a “risk-treatment paradox,” whereby patients with higher risk of adverse outcomes were less likely to receive these therapies.

    Abstract: Altered levels of atherogenic lipoproteins have been shown to be common in mild kidney dysfunction. This study sought to determine the associations between plasma lipids (including LDL particle distribution) and subclinical atherosclerosis measured by the common carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) across levels of estimated GFR (eGFR) and to assess whether inflammation modifies these associations. Design, setting, participants, & measurements Cross-sectional analyses of 6572 participants in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis enrolled from 2000 to 2002 were performed. Results CKD, defined as eGFR 〈 60 ml/min per 1.73 m 2 , was present in 853 individuals (13.0%). Associations of total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) with IMT were J shaped, particularly among participants with CKD ( P value for interaction, P =0.01). HDL cholesterol (HDL-C) and small-dense LDL-C were consistently and linearly associated with IMT across levels of eGFR. The results showed differences in IMT of −21.41 (95% confidence interval, −41.00, −1.57) in eGFR ≥60 and −58.49 (−126.61, 9.63) in eGFR 〈 60 per unit difference in log-transformed HDL-C, and 4.83 (3.16, 6.50) in eGFR ≥60 and 7.48 (1.45, 13.50) in eGFR 〈 60 per 100 nmol/L difference in small-dense LDL. Among participants with CKD, inflammation significantly modified the associations of total cholesterol and LDL-C with IMT ( P values for interaction, P 〈 0.01 and P 〈 0.001, respectively). Conclusions Compared with total cholesterol and LDL-C, abnormalities in HDL-C and small-dense LDL-C are more strongly and consistently associated with subclinical atherosclerosis in CKD. Inflammation modifies the association between total cholesterol and LDL-C with IMT.

    Abstract: Background: Recent guidelines recommend use of SGLT2i and/or GLP1-RA in persons with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and CVD or CKD, regardless of glycemic control. The degree of adoption of these recommendations thus far is unclear Methods: Among T2D patients receiving care within the VA Health Care System, we evaluated the prevalence and correlates of SGLT2i and GLP1-RA prescription during 20 and 2020. Logistic regression was used to examine associations of atherosclerotic CVD (ASCVD) , heart failure, and CKD (defined by lab values and/or administrative codes) as well as predicted risks of ASCVD and end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) , with prescription of SGLT2i and GLP1-RA Results: Of 1,319,500 adults with T2D, 10% and 7% were prescribed SGLT2is and GLP1-RAs, respectively. Prescription prevalence of SGLT2i and GLP1-RA were 13% and 9% in patients with established ASCVD; 14% and 11% in those with heart failure; and 11% and 10% in those with CKD. In adjusted models, patients with severe albuminuria were less likely to be prescribed an SGLT2i or a GLP1-RA versus non-albuminuric patients with CKD: aOR (95% CI) = 0.89 (0.87, 0.91) and 0.95 (0.93, 0.98) , respectively. In patients with 10-year ASCVD risk & gt;20% versus those with risk & lt;5%, ASCVD risk was inversely associated with prescription: SGLT2i OR=0.70 (0.60, 0.80) and GLP1-RA OR=0.60 (0.50, 0.70) . Patients with 5-year ESKD risk & gt;5% were less likely to be prescribed an SGLT2i: OR=0.61 (0.57, 0.66) , versus those with ESKD risk & lt;1% Conclusions: Among a national VA cohort of patients with T2D, prescription of SGLT2i and GLP1-RA was pervasively low across conditions for which they are currently indicated to lower the risk of CVD and CKD progression. Furthermore, we observed a “risk-treatment paradox”, where patients with higher risk of adverse outcomes were less likely to receive these therapies. Intensive implementation efforts are needed to prioritize prescription of these medications to patients who would derive the largest benefit. Disclosure J.A.

    Abstract: To determine the association of chronic kidney disease and coronary artery calcium (CAC) incidence, and the distribution of lipoproteins across categories of kidney function and their association with CAC risk. Methods and Results— We analyzed data from 2795 participants in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis with no CAC (calcium score=0) at baseline enrolled at the first Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis visit between the years 2000 and 2002. During a median follow-up of 2.4 years, incident calcium (calcium score 〉 0 at follow-up) developed in 12%, 19%, and 27% of participants with a cystatin-c estimated glomerular filtration rate (mL/min per 1.73 m) 2 of ≥90, 60 to 89, and 30 to 59 ( P for difference 〈 0.001), respectively. Compared with those with normal kidney function (estimated glomerular filtration rate≥90), adjusted CAC incidence risk ratios, and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were as follows: 1.26 (95% CI, 1.04–1.52), and 1.56 (95% CI, 1.11–2.20; P trend =0.014) in those with estimated glomerular filtration rate of 60 to 89 and 30 to 59, respectively. These associations were attenuated after adjusting for a characteristic and strongly interrelated lipid phenotype (principal component 1), which was more common in those with chronic kidney disease and characterized by a predominance of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins: CAC incidence risk ratios=1.21 (95% CI, 1.00–1.46) and 1.44 (95% CI, 1.02–2.04; P trend =0.06) in those with estimated glomerular filtration rate 60 to 89 and 30 to 59, respectively, after adjusting for principal component 1. Conclusion— Chronic kidney disease is strongly associated with CAC incidence. Part of this association is mediated through a characteristic lipid phenotype comprising elevations in triglyceride-rich lipoproteins.

    Abstract: We sought to estimate the prevalence of hypertension and characteristics of hypertensive adults in the United States according to blood pressure (BP) thresholds used for diagnosis and estimate their associated cardiovascular disease risk. Analyses included adults 20 years of age or older in the 2013 to 2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (N=5389) and enrolled participants in SPRINT (Systolic Blood Pressure Intervention Trial; N=9361) and the ACCORD-BP trial (Action to Control Cardiovascular Risk in Diabetes-Blood Pressure; N=4733). In the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, prevalence estimates incorporated the probability of observing elevated BP on 2 separate occasions. Using the new BP thresholds of ≥130/80 mm Hg, ≈24 million new American adults would be diagnosed as having hypertension and 4.3 million would be recommended to start antihypertensive medications. These individuals would have a lower mean atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk (17%) than participants in SPRINT and ACCORD-BP (22% and 27%) and would be less likely to have prevalent cardiovascular disease (9% versus 17% and 34%). In SPRINT and ACCORD-BP, only a minority (9% and 13%) of participants were not on antihypertensive medications at baseline, and rates of incident cardiovascular disease in these participants were substantially lower compared with those on baseline BP medications. We conclude that adopting the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association guidelines would lead to a substantial increase in the prevalence of hypertension and in the number of American adults recommended to start antihypertensive medications. These individuals would have a substantially lower cardiovascular risk than most participants previously studied in 2 large BP trials.

    Abstract: Background: Advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) have been linked to cardiovascular disease (CVD) in populations with and without diabetes. There are limited data, however, regarding the longitudinal associations of the array of circulating AGE adducts with risk of CVD in the general population. We tested the hypothesis that major plasma AGEs, measured by gold-standard liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS) are associated with incident CVD in subsets of two population-based cohort studies with different demographic and risk factor profiles. Methods: Analyses were performed in a case-cohort study of 2000 participants in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) and in a random cohort of 466 participants in the Cardiovascular Health Study (CHS). Five AGEs were measured by LC/MS: CML, 3DG-H, CEL, G-H1 and MG-H1. Incident CVD was defined as first occurrence of fatal or non-fatal stroke, myocardial infarction, or coronary heart disease death. Cox regression was used to examine associations between AGEs and CVD. Results: Participants in CHS were older than in MESA (median age=74 vs 65), had lower eGFR (67 vs 82 ml/min/1.73m 2 ) but higher CRP (median 2.53 vs 2.06 mg/L), and had substantially higher levels of all AGEs (Table) . During a median follow-up of 11 years in both cohorts, 439 (22%) participants in MESA and 200 (42%) in CHS developed incident CVD. In unadjusted models, all AGEs were strongly and significantly associated with incident CVD in MESA and CHS (Table). In multivariable adjusted models, CML, 3DG-H and a summary variable that accounted for all measured AGEs (PC1) were significantly associated with incident CVD in CHS but not in MESA. Conclusion: We found AGEs to be significantly associated with CVD in an older cohort, but not in a healthier middle-aged to older population that had lower systemic inflammation and lower baseline AGE concentrations. In the general population, AGEs may exert detrimental cardiovascular effects only at higher levels over longer cumulative exposure.

    Abstract: Chronic kidney disease is associated with structural and compositional abnormalities in high‐density lipoprotein particles (HDLp). We examined associations of HDLp size, particle subfractions, and apolipoprotein C‐ III content with incident cardiovascular disease ( CVD ) events across categories of estimated glomerular filtration rate ( eGFR ). Methods and Results Analyses included 6699 participants in MESA (Multi‐Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis) with measurements of HDLp and 5723 participants with measurements of HDL apolipoprotein C‐ III . Cox‐regression methods were used to evaluate associations between HDLp and apolipoproteins with CVD events. Larger HDLp size was associated with lower CVD risk in participants with lower eGFR : hazard ratio (95% CI ) per SD higher mean HDL size was 1.00 (0.90–1.11) in eGFR ≥60 mL/min per 1.73 m 2 , 0.65 (0.48–0.86) in eGFR 45 to 59 mL/min per 1.73 m 2 , and 0.48 (0.25–0.93) in eGFR 〈 45 mL/min per 1.73 m 2 ( P for interaction=0.05). Associations of HDLp subfractions with CVD varied significantly by eGFR ( P for interaction=0.04), with significant inverse associations between higher concentrations of large HDLp and CVD events across categories of kidney function, but nonsignificant results for small HDLp. Only HDLp without apolipoprotein C‐ III was associated with lower risk of CVD events, with seemingly (albeit not statistically significant) stronger associations among participants with lower eGFR ( P for interaction=0.19). Conclusions HDL particles of larger size and higher concentrations of large HDL and of HDL without apolipoprotein C‐ III were associated with lower CVD risk, with risk estimates seemingly stronger among participants with lower eGFR . Future larger studies are needed to corroborate these findings.
