@KIReports @AgavriloaeiB @assad_sm @DrAkshayaJ @ISNkidneycare @ISNeducation @sophia_kidney @MChanMD @brian_rifkin @CristinaDeReins I’m curious whether the vascular effect tracks citrate exposure itself or the transient drop in ionized Ca—does the study separate those mechanisms?

18/ Thank you for reading!
This paper is a reminder that dialysis prescriptions can have biological effects we may not predict from short-term biochemical markers.
Read the full KI Reports paper and keep questioning the mechanism.

16/ So, should we stop citrate dialysate? No.
This is a small, single-center study with a selected population and surrogate endpoint. But the signal is striking enough to justify larger studies with robust exposure assignment, imaging and clinical outcomes. https://t.co/3IOe0mXT

15/ The study also challenges an interesting disconnect: citrate dialysate can improve short-term serum calcification propensity, yet this study found faster progression of vascular calcification.
A better biomarker does not automatically mean a better tissue-level outcome.

14/ Limitations
5 patients may have had dialysate errors, based on unexpectedly ⬆️ citrate levels during the acetate arm
BAC is a surrogate
This study did not measure coronary/aortic Ca, calciphylaxis, CV events or mortality. We cannot conclude that citrate dialysate⬆️ CV risk

13/ Why is this surprising?
Citrate is a calcium chelator and can inhibit calcium phosphate crystallization. But citrate is also abundant in bone and participates in biomineralization. So its biological effect may depend on context, concentration and tissue environment.

12/ Then came the intriguing tissue finding. Citrate was detected in calcified human arterial segments. Citrate content correlated strongly with the amount of calcification (r=0.91). Estimated citrate content was ~0.8% of calcified tissue.

11/ The striking biochemical difference was citrate itself.
Pre-HD citrate was similar, but post-HD citrate rose to 383 vs 187 μM with citrate vs acetate. That >3-fold rise makes citrate a plausible contributor, but does not prove causality. https://t.co/LqhRvWfsmO

10/ Could Ca, phosphate or dialysis adequacy explain it?
Not really.
Pre-HD Ca and phosphate, dialysis time, Kt/V and dialysate Ca were similar. Citrate did lower post-HD ionized Ca and Mg, while HCO3 and PTH were slightly higher. https://t.co/wsGXACaW4O

9/ The finding was also seen as % change from baseline: 40%/yr with citrate vs 21%/yr with acetate.
The effect was significant whether patients started with citrate or acetate, supporting consistency within the crossover design. https://t.co/1CN138vDKC

8/ The headline result: BAC progressed much faster with citrate.
Median progression was 47 mm/yr with citrate vs 9 mm/yr with acetate. (P=0.0005)
22 of 28 patients had greater progression during citrate exposure. https://t.co/QYP9VmfrMI

7/ The cohort was small and highly selected: all 28 were women and African American.
Of 54 who started, only 29 completed the protocol, and 28 had usable BAC progression data.
The attrition matters when interpreting the magnitude of the finding. https://t.co/m0I1ZKNAuS

6/ Study design : This was a crossover study. 28 women on chronic HD with pre-existing BAC received citrate or acetate dialysate for ~1 year each, with mammograms at 6-month intervals.
Each patient therefore served as her own control. https://t.co/M6fbu3CNjf

5/ The study used breast arterial calcification (BAC) as a marker of medial vascular calcification, answer “A”.
BAC is visible on routine mammography and reflects medial rather than atherosclerotic intimal calcification. https://t.co/rwJRUGFYWb

2/ A new KI Reports study asks a provocative question : does citrate-containing dialysate affect vascular calcification in HD?
https://t.co/0Kf2DgxL4i
The answer was unexpected. Let’s look at the study, the signal, and what we should make of it. https://t.co/9lu2VmH0BO

1/ Hey #NephX! 👋
We’re back with a fresh #Xtorial from KIReports
Citrate dialysate is often viewed as a friend in dialysis : it chelates Ca, and inhibits Ca/Phos crystallization, But what if the effect on the vessel wall is not so simple?

16/ Summary
⚡ Donor diabetes status alone did not worsen graft or patient survival
⚡ D+/R+ had the poorest graft and patient survival
⚡ eGFR was only slightly lower, with no difference in rejection

17/ Limitations
👎 Observational registry study, with potential residual confounding
👎 Relatively small D+/R+ group (n=189)
👎 No data on diabetes severity, duration, treatment or HbA1c
👎 Lack of kidney biopsy data to assess diabetic kidney changes

15/ Results: 2° Outcomes
⚕️ No significant difference in rejection between groups
⚕️ Diabetic donor kidneys were associated with only a minor reduction in eGFR
📉 The difference was small during the first 5 years post-transplant
📈 D−/R− recipients had the best eGFR over time https
