Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with a high cardiovascular mortality due to increased rates of vascular lesions and thrombotic events, as well as serum accumulation of uremic toxins. A subgroup of these toxins (advanced glycation end products [AGEs] and S100 proteins) can interact with the receptor for AGEs (RAGE). In this study, we analyzed the impact of CKD on platelet function and arterial thrombosis, and the potential role of RAGE in this process. METHODS Twelve weeks after induction of CKD in mice, platelet function and time to complete carotid artery occlusion were analyzed in four groups of animals (sham-operated, CKD, apolipoprotein E [Apoe]-/-, and Apoe-/-/Ager-/- mice). RESULTS Analysis of platelet function from whole blood and platelet-rich plasma showed hyperactivation of platelets only in CKD Apoe-/- mice. There was no difference when experiments were done on washed platelets. However, preincubation of such platelets with AGEs or S100 proteins induced RAGE-mediated platelet hyperactivation. In vivo, CKD significantly reduced carotid occlusion times of Apoe-/- mice (9.2 ± 1.1 vs. 11.1 ± 0.6 minutes for sham, p < 0.01). In contrast, CKD had no effect on occlusion times in Apoe-/-/Ager-/- mice. Moreover, carotid occlusion in Apoe-/- CKD mice occurred significantly faster than in Apoe-/-/Ager-/- CKD mice (p < 0.0001). CONCLUSION Our results show that CKD induces platelet hyperactivation, accelerates thrombus formation in a murine model of arterial thrombosis, and that RAGE deletion has a protective role. We propose that RAGE ligands binding to RAGE is involved in CKD-induced arterial thrombosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with increased cardiovascular mortality, frequent vascular calcification (VC) and accumulation of uraemic toxins. Advanced glycation end products and S100 proteins interact with the receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE). In the present work, we aimed to investigate the role(s) of RAGE in the CKD-VC process. METHODS Apoe-/- or Apoe-/-Ager (RAGE)-/- male mice were assigned to CKD or sham-operated groups. A high-phosphate diet was given to a subgroup of Apoe-/-and Apoe-/-Ager-/- CKD mice. Primary cultures of Ager+/+ and Ager-/- vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) were established and stimulated with either vehicle, inorganic phosphate (Pi) or RAGE ligands (S100A12; 20 µM). RESULTS After 12 weeks of CKD we observed a significant increase in RAGE ligand (AGE and S100 proteins) concentrations in the serum of CKD Apoe-/- mice. Ager messenger RNA (mRNA) levels were 4-fold higher in CKD vessels of Apoe-/- mice. CKD Apoe-/- but not CKD Apoe-/- or Ager-/- mice displayed a marked increase in the VC surface area. Similar trends were found in the high-phosphate diet condition. mRNA levels of Runx2 significantly increased in the Apoe-/- CKD group. In vitro, stimulation of Ager+/+VSMCs with Pi or S100A12 induced mineralization and osteoblast transformation, and this was inhibited by phosphonoformic acid (Pi co-transporters inhibitor) and Ager deletion. In vivo and in vitro RAGE was necessary for regulation of the expression of Pit-1, at least in part through production of reactive oxygen species. CONCLUSION RAGE, through the modulation of Pit-1 expression, is a key molecule in the genesis of VC.

Abstract
Background Pathological features of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) include enlarged kidney volume, higher frequency of digestive diverticulitis and abdominal wall hernias. Therefore, many nephrologists have concerns about the use of peritoneal dialysis (PD) in ADPKD patients. We aimed to analyse survival and technique failure in ADPKD patients treated with PD. Methods We conducted two retrospective studies on patients starting dialysis between 2000 and 2010. We used two French registries: the French Renal Epidemiology and Information Network (REIN) and the French language Peritoneal Dialysis Registry (RDPLF). Using the REIN registry, we compared the clinical features and outcomes of ADPKD patients on PD (n = 638) with those of ADPKD patients on haemodialysis (HD) (n = 4653); with the RDPLF registry, those same parameters were determined for ADPKD patients on PD (n = 797) and compared with those of non-ADPKD patients on PD (n = 12 059). Results A total of 5291 ADPKD patients and 12 059 non-ADPKD patients were included. Analysis of the REIN registry found that ADPKD patients treated with PD represented 10.91% of the ADPKD population. During the study period, PD was used for 11.2% of the non-ADPKD population. Compared with ADPKD patients on HD, ADPKD patients on PD had higher serum albumin levels (38.8 ± 5.3 versus 36.8 ± 5.7 g/dL, P < 0.0001) and were less frequently diabetic (5.31 versus 7.71%, P < 0.03). The use of PD in ADPKD patients was positively associated with the occurrence of a kidney transplantation but not with death [hazard ratio 1.15 (95% confidence interval 0.84-1.58)]. Analysis of the RDPLF registry found that compared with non-ADPKD patients on PD, ADPKD patients on PD were younger and had fewer comorbidities and better survival. ADPKD status was not associated with an increased risk of technique failure or an increased risk of peritonitis. Conclusions According to our results, PD is proposed to a selected population of ADPKD patients, PD does not have a negative impact on ADPKD patients' overall survival and PD technique failure is not influenced by ADPKD status. Therefore PD is a reasonable option for ADPKD patients.

Abstract
Chronic inflammation in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) is partly attributed to gut bacterial translocation (GBT) due to loss of intestinal epithelium integrity. Increased levels of circulating lipopolysaccharide (LPS) –a surrogate marker of GBT– contribute to maintain a chronic inflammatory state. However, circulating LPS can be neutralized by lipoproteins and transported to the liver for elimination. While ESRD-associated GBT has been widely described, less is known about its changes and impact on clinical outcome after kidney transplantation (KT). One hundred and forty-six renal transplant recipients with serum samples obtained immediately before and 1 year after transplantation (1-Year post KT) were included. Intestinal epithelium integrity (iFABP), total LPS (by measuring 3-hydroxymyristate), LPS activity (biologically active LPS measured by the LAL assay), inflammatory biomarkers (sCD14 and cytokines), lipoproteins and LPS-binding proteins (LBP and phospholipid transfer protein [PLTP] activity) were simultaneously measured. At 1-Year post KT, iFABP decreased but remained higher than in normal volunteers. Total LPS concentration remained stable while LPS activity decreased. Inflammation biomarkers decreased 1-Year post KT. We concomitantly observed an increase in lipoproteins. Higher sCD14 levels before transplantation was associated with lower incidence of acute rejection. Although GBT remained stable after KT, the contemporary increase in lipoproteins could bind circulating LPS and contribute concomitantly to neutralization of LPS activity, as well as improvement in ESRD-associated chronic inflammation. Chronic exposure to LPS in ESRD could promote endotoxin tolerance and explain why patients with higher pre-transplant sCD14 are less prompt to develop acute rejection after transplantation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite advances in immunosuppressive therapy, kidney graft survival has failed to improve during the last decades. Ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) is one of the main pathophysiological mechanisms underlying delayed graft function, which is associated with poor long-term graft survival. Due to organ shortage, the proportion of grafts from expanded criteria donors (ECDs) is ever growing. These grafts may particularly benefit from IRI prevention. In preclinical models, mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs) have been shown to efficiently prevent IRI. This study aims to assess the effect of MRA administration in the early phase of kidney transplantation (KT) among recipients of ECD grafts on mid-term graft function. METHODS/DESIGN This is a multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trial. Patients on hemodialysis and undergoing a single or a dual KT from an ECD will be eligible for inclusion. We plan to randomize 132 patients. Included patients will be randomized (1:1) to receive either eplerenone 25 mg every 12 h during 4 days (the first dose being administered just prior to KT) or placebo. The primary outcome is graft function at 3 months, assessed by glomerular filtration rate (GFR, in mL/min/1.73m2) measured using iohexol clearance. Secondary outcomes include (1) proportion of patients with either dialysis dependency or a GFR < 30 mL/min/1.73m2 at 3 months, (2) proportion of patients with immediate, slow, or delayed graft function, (3) proteinuria at 3 months, (4) occurrence of hyperkalemia during the first week following KT, (5) length of hospital stay for the KT, and (6) occurrence of biopsy-proven acute rejection in the first 3 months following KT. Estimated GFR, graft, and patient survival will also be collected at 1, 3, and 10 years via the national database of organ recipients. DISCUSSION Improvement of ECD grafts is a public health priority, since better ECD outcomes could eventually limit organ shortage. MRA administration in the early phase of KT may prevent IRI and subsequently improve mid-term graft function. The trial will also assess the safety of MRA administration in this population, primarily the absence of threatening hyperkalemia. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT02490904 .

Abstract
Background Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is the most frequent hereditary cause of chronic kidney disease. Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is often avoided for patients with PKD because of the suspected risk of mechanical and infectious complications. Only a few studies have analyzed the outcome of PKD patients on PD with sometimes conflicting results. The purpose of this meta-analysis was to investigate outcomes of patients with PKD treated by PD. Methods A systematic review and meta-analysis were performed examining all studies which included “Polycystic kidney disease” and “Peritoneal dialysis” in their titles, excluding commentaries, letters to the authors and abstracts. PubMed, Embase, Google scholar and Scopus were searched to December 31st 2017. The primary outcome was overall patient survival. Additional outcomes were PD technique survival, incidence of peritonitis and incidence of abdominal wall hernia. Results 9 studies published between 1998 and 2016 were included for analysis with a total of 7,197 patients including 882 PKD patients. Overall survival of PKD patients was found to be better compared to non-PKD patients (HR = 0.70 [95% CI, 0.54–0.92]). There were no statistical differences between PKD and non-PKD patients in terms of peritonitis (OR = 0.86 [95% CI, 0.66–1.12]) and technical survival (HR = 0.98 [95% CI, 0.83–1.16]). There was an increased risk of hernia in PKD patients (OR = 2.28 [95% CI, 1.26–4.12]). Conclusions PKD is associated with a better global survival, an increased risk of abdominal hernia, but no differences in peritonitis rate or technical survival were found. PD is a safe dialysis modality for PKD patients. Properly designed controlled studies are needed to determine whether all PKD patients are eligible for PD or whether some specific criteria should be determined.

Abstract
Intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) is a frequent and serious condition affecting critical care patients. IAH diagnostic needs intravesical pressure (IVP) measurement which is recommended for monitoring patients presenting IAH risk factors. IVP monitoring is probably insufficient in daily practice. This could be explained by lack of knowledge about IAH physiopathology, which leads to absence of therapeutic target. Acute kidney injury (AKI) is the earliest and most described organ dysfunction associated with IAH. Moreover, AKI gravity seems to correlates with IAH severity. Physiopathological aspects explaining glomerular filtration rate (GFR) decrease with IAH are probably multifactorial and not completely understood. The role of renal venous congestion is essential to explain AKI in IAH. GFR decrease may reflect a "glomerular capillary shunt" due to a decrease of renal plasmatic flow. Monitoring IVP in daily practice in patients presenting risk factors of IAH would improve knowledge about this condition and the associated AKI.

Abstract
In brain-dead donor resuscitation, hydroxyethyl starch (HES) use has been associated with presence of osmotic-nephrosis-like lesions in kidney transplant recipients. Our aim was to determine whether the presence of HES in protocol renal graft biopsies at three months (M3) after transplantation is associated with renal graft quality. According to the HES administered to the donor during the procurement procedure, two groups of patients were defined according graft exposition to HES: HES group, (N = 20) and control group (N = 6). Detection and relative quantification of HES was performed by Raman spectroscopy microimaging on M3 protocol renal graft biopsies. Statistical analyses were used to investigate the association between Raman data and graft characteristics. HES spectral signal was revealed negative in the control group, whereas it was positive in 40% of biopsies from the HES group. In the HES group, a stronger HES signal was associated with a lower risk of graft failure measured by the Kidney Donor Risk Index (KDRI) and was correlated with the allograft kidney function. Thus, HES accumulation in donor kidney, as probed by Raman biophotonic technique, is correlated with the quality of donor kidney and consequently the graft renal function and graft survival.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Carbamylation is a non-enzymatic post-translational modification of proteins characterized by the addition of isocyanic acid to amino groups. As isocyanic acid mainly originates from the spontaneous dissociation of urea, carbamylation rate is increased during renal failure. The aim of the study was to evaluate serum homocitrulline (HCit), which results from the carbamylation of ε-amino groups of lysine (Lys) residues, in acute renal failure (ARF) and to determine if it could be useful for differentiating acute from chronic renal failure (CRF). METHODS In total, 213 patients with renal failure referred to the nephrology department of the university hospital of Reims were included. Patients were classified into three groups: patients with ARF (ARF group, n=39), patients with CRF complicated with ARF (A/CRF group, n=29) and patients with CRF (CRF group, n=145). Serum HCit concentrations were measured by LC-MS/MS. Concentration kinetics of HCit and urea were studied in patients suffering from ARF. The HCit thresholds distinguishing ARF and CRF were investigated. RESULTS HCit concentrations increased in ARF patients reaching a peak delayed compared to urea concentration peak. HCit concentrations were positively correlated with urea concentrations (r=0.51) and with the time elapsed since the estimated onset of ARF (r=0.57). Serum HCit concentrations were higher (p<0.05) in CRF group compared to ARF group. The receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that HCit concentrations <289 μmol/mol Lys were predictive of ARF (Sensitivity: 83%, Specificity: 72%, AUC: 0.856). CONCLUSIONS Our results demonstrate that HCit is a promising biomarker for distinguishing between ARF and CRF patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Homocitrulline (HCit) is a carbamylation-derived product (CDP) that has been identified as a valuable biomarker of morbidity and mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The aim of this study was to determine whether initiation of hemodialysis therapy (HD) could induce variations of HCit concentrations in CKD patients. METHODS Serum HCit concentrations were determined by LC-MS/MS in CKD patients (n=108) just before (M0) and six months (M6) after the initiation of HD therapy. RESULTS Mean HCit concentrations reached 1000μmol/mol Lysine before initiation of HD therapy and decreased by 50% within 6months after HD onset. HCit concentrations remained stable over time as assessed during a 24-months follow-up period. HCit was mostly found in its protein-bound form in HD patients. HCit concentrations obtained at M0 were positively correlated with urea (r=0.58) and carbamylated hemoglobin (r=0.41), and are likely to be promising predictive markers of mortality. However, no correlations were found between HCit concentrations and Kt/V values, suggesting that HCit is not a marker of HD efficiency. CONCLUSION HCit concentrations reflect the intensity of protein carbamylation and are stable over time during HD treatment, making HCit a reliable biomarker in the follow-up of CKD patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND End-stage renal disease (ESRD) is associated with premature aging of the T-cell system. Nevertheless, the clinical significance of pre-transplant ESRD-related immune senescence is unknown. METHODS We studied whether immune risk phenotype (IRP), a typical feature of immune senescence, may affect post-transplant infectious complications. A total of 486 patients were prospectively studied during the first year post transplant. IRP was defined as positive cytomegalovirus serology with at least 1 of the following criteria: CD4/CD8 ratio <1 and/or CD8 T-cell count >90th percentile. RESULTS We found that 47 patients (9.7%) had pre-transplant IRP. IRP+ patients did not differ from IRP- patients for any clinical characteristics, but exhibited more pronounced immune senescence. Both opportunistic infections (43% vs. 6%, P < 0.001) and severe bacterial infection (SBI) (40% vs. 25%, P = 0.028) were more frequent in IRP(+) patients. In multivariate analysis, IRP was predictive of both opportunistic infection (hazard ratio [HR] 2.97 [95% confidence interval {CI} 1.53-5.76], P = 0.001), and SBI (HR 2.33 [95% CI 1.34-3.92], P = 0.008). Acute rejection rates were numerically much lower in IRP+ patients. A total of 418 patients (86%) had biological evaluation 1 year post transplant. Among 41 IRP+ patients, 35 (85%) remained IRP+ 1 year post transplant. CONCLUSION Pre-transplant IRP is associated with an increased risk of post-transplant infection.

Abstract
Background Animal studies have highlighted the role of vascular mineralocorticoid receptor during Cyclosporine A-induced nephrotoxicity. Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists could improve kidney survival but are not commonly used during renal impairment and in association with several immunosuppressive drugs due to a supposed higher risk of adverse events. We tested the tolerance of eplerenone according to its expected adverse events: hyperkalemia, metabolic acidosis, hypotension, acute kidney failure, or any other adverse event. Methods We conducted a single-center, prospective, open-label study in 31 kidney-transplant recipients with impaired renal function (30 and 50 mL/min/1.73m2) and receiving cyclosporine A. All patients received eplerenone 25 mg/d for 8 weeks. Serum potassium, renal function and expected adverse events were closely monitored. Results Eight patients experienced mild hyperkalemia (>5 mmol/L), one moderate hyperkalemia (>5.5 mmol/L) and had to receive potassium-exchange resin. No severe hyperkalemia (>6 mmol/L) occurred. One acute kidney failure was observed, secondary to diarrhea. Basal serum potassium and bicarbonate were independently associated with a higher risk of developing mild hyperkalemia (>5 mmol/L) under treatment (OR 6.5, p = 0.003 and 0.7, p = 0.007, respectively). A cut-off value of 4.35 mmol/L for basal serum potassium was the best factor to predict the risk of developing mild hyperkalemia (>5 mmol/L). Conclusions Until eGFR falls to 30 mL/min/1.73m2, eplerenone could be safely given to kidney-transplant recipients receiving cyclosporine A, if kalemia is closely monitored. When renal function is impaired and if basal kalemia is >4.35 mmol/L, then clinicians should properly balance risk and benefit of eplerenone use and offer dietary advice. An adequately powered prospective randomized study is now needed to test its efficiency (and safety) in this population. Trial Registration ClinicalTrials.gov NCT01834768

Abstract
Introduction Hyperphosphatemia and cardiovascular mortality are associated particularly with end-stage renal disease. Available therapeutic strategies (i.e., diet restriction, calcium [or not]-based phosphate binders, calcimimetics) are associated with extrarenal blood purification. Compartmentalization of phosphate limits its depuration during hemodialysis. Several studies suggest that plasmatic pH is involved in the mobilization of phosphate from intracellular to extracellular compartments. Consequently, the efficiency of modified bicarbonate conductivity to purify blood phosphate was tested. Methods Ten hemodialysis patients with chronic hyperphosphatemia (>2.1 mmol/L) were included in the two three-sessions-per week periods. Bicarbonate concentration was fixed at 40 mmol/L and 30 mmol/L in the first and second periods, respectively. Phosphate depuration was evaluated by phosphate mobilization clearance (KM ). Findings Although bicarbonatemia was lower during the second period (21.0 ± 2.7 vs. 24.4 ± 3.1 mmol/L, P < 0.01), no difference was observed in phosphatemia (2.4 ± 0.5 vs. 2.3 ± 0.4 mmol/L, P = NS). The in-session variation of phosphate was lower (-1.45 ± 0.42 vs. -1.58 ± 0.44 mmol/L, P < 0.05) and KM was higher during the second period (82.94 ± 38.00 vs. 69.74 ± 24.48 mL/min, P < 0.05). Discussion The decrease of in-session phosphate and the increase in KM reflect phosphate refilling during hemodialysis. Thus, modulation of serum bicarbonate may play a role in controlling the phosphate pool. Even though correcting metabolic acidosis during hemodialysis remains important, alkaline excess can impair phosphate mobilization clearance. Clinical trials are needed to test the efficiency and relevance of a strategy where bicarbonatemia is corrected less at the beginning of sessions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in patients with end-stage renal disease. Serum amyloid A (SAA) is an acute phase protein and a binding partner for the multiligand receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE). We investigated the role of the interaction between SAA and RAGE in uremia-related atherogenesis. APPROACH AND RESULTS We used a mouse model of uremic vasculopathy, induced by 5 of 6 nephrectomy in the Apoe(-/-) background. Sham-operated mice were used as controls. Primary cultures of Ager(+/+) and Ager(-/-) vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) were stimulated with recombinant SAA, S100B, or vehicle alone. Relevance to human disease was assessed with human VSMCs. The surface area of atherosclerotic lesions at the aortic roots was larger in uremic Apoe(-/-) than in sham-operated Apoe(-/-) mice (P<0.001). Furthermore, atherosclerotic lesions displayed intense immunostaining for RAGE and SAA, with a pattern similar to that of α-SMA. Ager transcript levels in the aorta were 6× higher in uremic animals than in controls (P<0.0001). Serum SAA concentrations were higher in uremic mice, not only after 4 weeks of uremia but also at 8 and 12 weeks of uremia, than in sham-operated animals. We investigated the functional role of RAGE in uremia-induced atherosclerosis further, in animals lacking RAGE. We found that the induction of uremia in Apoe(-/-) Ager(-/-) mice did not accelerate atherosclerosis. In vitro, the stimulation of Ager(+/+) but not of Ager(-/-) VSMCs with SAA or S100B significantly induced the production of reactive oxygen species, the phosphorylation of AKT and mitogen-activated protein kinase-extracellular signal-regulated kinases and cell migration. Reactive oxygen species inhibition with N-acetyl cysteine significantly inhibited both the phosphorylation of AKT and the migration of VSMCs. Similar results were obtained for human VSMCs, except that the phosphorylation of mitogen-activated protein kinase-extracellular signal-regulated kinases, rather than of AKT, was subject to specific redox-regulation by SAA and S100B. Furthermore, human aortic atherosclerotic sections were positively stained for RAGE and SAA. CONCLUSIONS Uremia upregulates SAA and RAGE expression in the aortic wall and in atherosclerotic lesions in mice. Ager(-/-) animals are protected against the uremia-induced acceleration of atherosclerosis. SAA modulates the functions of murine and human VSMCs in vitro in a RAGE-dependent manner. This study, therefore, identifies SAA as a potential new uremic toxin involved in uremia-related atherosclerosis through interaction with RAGE.

Abstract
Lack of clear identification of patients at high risk of acute rejection hampers the ability to individualize immunosuppressive therapy. Here we studied whether thymic function may predict acute rejection in antithymocyte globulin (ATG)-treated renal transplant recipients in 482 patients prospectively studied during the first year post-transplant of which 86 patients experienced acute rejection. Only CD45RA(+)CD31(+)CD4(+) T cell (recent thymic emigrant [RTE]) frequency (RTE%) was marginally associated with acute rejection in the whole population. This T-cell subset accounts for 26% of CD4(+) T cells. Pretransplant RTE% was significantly associated with acute rejection in ATG-treated patients (hazard ratio, 1.04; 95% confidence interval, 1.01-1.08) for each increased percent in RTE/CD4(+) T cells), but not in anti-CD25 monoclonal (αCD25 mAb)-treated patients. Acute rejection was significantly more frequent in ATG-treated patients with high pretransplant RTE% (31.2% vs. 16.4%) or absolute number of RTE/mm(3) (31.7 vs. 16.1). This difference was not found in αCD25 monclonal antibody-treated patients. Highest values of both RTE% (>31%, hazard ratio, 2.50; 95% confidence interval, 1.09-5.74) and RTE/mm(3) (>200/mm(3), hazard ratio, 3.71; 95% confidence interval, 1.59-8.70) were predictive of acute rejection in ATG-treated patients but not in patients having received αCD25 monoclonal antibody). Results were confirmed in a retrospective cohort using T-cell receptor excision circle levels as a marker of thymic function. Thus, pretransplant thymic function predicts acute rejection in ATG-treated patients.
