Beschreibung: <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Background and Aims</jats:title> <jats:p>Hyperkalemia is common in patients on hemodialysis (HD) and in cardiorenal patients on RAAS inhibitors. Frequently, hyperkalemia is a leading reason to withdraw potentially lifesaving therapy in cardiorenal patients. Out-patient monitoring of plasma K+ levels due to preanalytical problems has proven problematic. The present pilot-study examined salivary K+ levels and kinetics based on plasma K+ measurements in HD patients employing a novel class of genetically-encoded fluorescent potassium-ion indicators, the GEPIIs (Bischof et al. Nat. Commun. 2017). HD patients represent a unique population in whom significant K+ derangements and rapid K+ level changes predictably occur and where these phenomena can be safely investigated.</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Method</jats:title> <jats:p>K+ assessments were performed in healthy individuals (n=20) and HD patients (n=30). Study-related procedures were approved by the local Institutional Review Board. Healthy individuals were recruited on a voluntary basis and provided only saliva samples. HD patients were recruited from our HD unit. Blood and saliva samples for K+ assessment were collected simultaneously during three consecutive HD sessions (HD1-3) prior to and directly after each session (pre/post HD). Blood was drawn in a standardized procedure directly from the HD access line and plasma K+ was measured immediately using standardized ion-selective electrodes (ISE). Saliva samples were gathered in a standardized procedure using a commercially available collection device (SuperSALTM). Of note, gaining adequate amounts of saliva from chronic HD patients, who frequently suffer from xerostomia, has proven challenging in some cases. The K+ content of saliva samples was measured by ISE and GEPII-technique. For the latter, samples were mixed with purified GEPIIs and were inserted into a fluorescent plate-reader. Probes were illuminated at 430 nm and emission light were collected at 475 nm and 525 nm, respectively. The ratio of the fluorescent intensities (F535/F480) after appropriate calibration is a direct measure of the K+ concentration sensed by GEPIIs.</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Results</jats:title> <jats:p>K+ determination in saliva samples using the GEPII-technique and ISE showed a strong agreement ((Figure 1A), Bias 0,71; 95% limits of agreement from -2.79 to 4.40). Pre-dialytic [K+]saliva of HD patients compared to healthy individuals, was higher (40,64±1,50 vs. 23,15±0,76 mmol/l, p&lt;0.05). As expected, each HD session (HD1-3) led to a significant reduction in [K+]plasma, which is followed by a similar, significant reduction of [K+]saliva (Figure 1B). Dynamics of plasma and salivary [K+] showed a very similar pattern: strong reduction during a HD session followed by a marked increase in the dialysis-free period until the next session 48-72h later (Figure 1C). Although basal [K+]saliva shows individual variations, [K+]Saliva and [K+]plasma exhibited a tendency of linear association (Figure 1D). Correlation analysis in each HD session (HD1-3 pre/post) revealed however no or weak correlation of pre- and post-dialytic saliva and plasma K+ values (Figure 1E).</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Conclusion</jats:title> <jats:p>The GEPII-technique is an easy to use, reliable and suitable method for salivary K+ determination in healthy individuals and in HD patients with accuracy and precision comparable to that of ISE. Despite heterogeneous baselines, changes of [K+]saliva represent a sensitive marker of K+ derangements as well as hyper- and normokalemia in HD patients. Although we observed that [K+]saliva dynamically follows [K+]plasma , an exact quantification - most likely due to the low number of cases per HD sessions in this pilot-study – was not possible. Additionally, how closely [K+]saliva tracks [K+]plasma in patients with hypokalemia was not addressed in this study. To confidently answer whether [K+]saliva measurement can potentially be used in the care of patients at increased risk of hyperkalemia, further studies in a larger number of patients need to be conducted.</jats:p> </jats:sec>
