Abstract
Chronic kidney disease associated with Type 2 diabetes is linked to significant increase in morbidity, reduced quality of life, and early death. Current guidelines recommend targets for the management of hyperglycemia, hypertension, and dyslipidemia but there remains a residual risk of chronic kidney disease progression and adverse cardiovascular outcomes in patients with Type 2 diabetes. The 2022 consensus report from the American Diabetes Association and Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes support the use of sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors and nonsteroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists to improve kidney and cardiovascular outcomes. Coordination between those working in the primary care setting and those in endocrinology and nephrology clinics may optimize the prevention of chronic kidney disease progression in patients with Type 2 diabetes. Nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and primary care physicians play an important role in making timely patient referrals to kidney specialists. This article explores the use of novel therapies capable of reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease and chronic kidney disease progression beyond what can be achieved with control of blood glucose, blood pressure, and lipid levels. It also discusses the importance of monitoring at-risk patients to facilitate early diagnosis and initiation of effective kidney-protective therapy.[Media: see text][Figure: see text].

A prespecified exploratory analysis from FIDELITY examined finerenone use and kidney outcomes in patients with chronic kidney disease and type 2 diabetes. Kidney Int 2023; 103:196-206. [PMID: 36367466 DOI: 10.1016/j.kint.2022.08.040] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 17.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2022] [Revised: 08/17/2022] [Accepted: 08/26/2022] [Indexed: 11/09/2022]
Abstract
In FIDELITY, a prespecified pooled analysis of the FIDELIO-DKD and FIGARO-DKD studies, finerenone was found to improve cardiorenal outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes, a urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio of 30-5000 mg/g, an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of 25 ml/min per 1.73 m2 or more and also receiving optimized renin-angiotensin system blockade treatment. This present analysis focused on the efficacy and safety of finerenone on kidney outcomes. Among 13,026 patients with a median follow-up of three years, finerenone significantly reduced the hazard of a kidney composite outcome (time to kidney failure, sustained 57% or more decrease in eGFR from baseline, or kidney death) by 23% versus placebo (hazard ratio, 0.77; 95% confidence interval, 0.67-0.88), with a three-year absolute between-group difference of 1.7% (95% confidence interval, 0.7-2.6). Hazard ratios were directionally consistent for a prespecified baseline eGFR and urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio categories (Pinteraction = 0.62 and Pinteraction = 0.67, respectively), although there was a high degree of uncertainty in the 30-300 mg/g subgroup. Finerenone significantly reduced the hazard of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) by 20% versus placebo (0.80; 0.64-0.99). Adverse events were similar between treatment arms, although hyperkalemia leading to treatment discontinuation occurred significantly more frequently with finerenone versus placebo (2.4% vs 0.8% and 0.6% vs 0.3% in patients with eGFR less than 60 vs. greater than or equal to 60 ml/min per 1.73 m2, respectively). Thus, finerenone improved kidney outcomes, reduced the hazard of ESKD, and is well tolerated in patients with chronic kidney disease and type 2 diabetes.

The Impact of Carbamylation and Anemia on HbA1c's Association With Renal Outcomes in Patients With Diabetes and Chronic Kidney Disease. Diabetes Care 2023; 46:130-137. [PMID: 36399777 PMCID: PMC9797644 DOI: 10.2337/dc22-1399] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/18/2022] [Accepted: 10/22/2022] [Indexed: 11/19/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) can predict risk for microvascular complications in patients with diabetes. However, HbA1c's reliability in chronic kidney disease (CKD) has been questioned, with concerns including competition from another posttranslational protein modification, carbamylation, acting on the same amino groups as glycation, and anemia with reduced erythrocyte lifespans leading to altered glycation accumulation. We investigated whether carbamylation and anemia modify the impact of HbA1c on renal outcomes in patients with diabetes and CKD. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS In 1,516 participants from the Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort study with diabetes and CKD, Cox regression models were applied to evaluate the association between HbA1c and CKD progression (composite of end-stage kidney disease or 50% decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR]), stratified by carbamylated albumin (C-Alb) quartiles and anemia. RESULTS The mean eGFR was 38.1 mL/min/1.73 m2, mean HbA1c was 7.5% (58 mmol/mol), and median C-Alb was 8.4 mmol/mol. HbA1c was lower in the higher C-Alb quartiles. During a median follow-up of 6.9 years, 763 participants experienced CKD progression. Overall, higher HbA1c was associated with an increased risk of CKD progression (adjusted hazard ratio 1.07 [95% CI 1.02-1.13]). However, using stratified analyses, HbA1c was no longer associated with CKD progression in the highest C-Alb quartile, but did show a monotonic increase in CKD progression risk across each lower C-Alb quartile (P-interaction = 0.022). Anemia also modified the association between HbA1c and CKD progression (P-interaction = 0.025). CONCLUSIONS In patients with coexisting diabetes and CKD, the association between HbA1c and CKD progression is modified by carbamylation and anemia.

Use of sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors in solid organ transplant recipients with pre-existing type 2 or post-transplantation diabetes mellitus: A systematic review. Transplant Rev (Orlando) 2023; 37:100729. [PMID: 36427372 DOI: 10.1016/j.trre.2022.100729] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/10/2022] [Revised: 10/30/2022] [Accepted: 11/01/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Sodium-Glucose Co-Transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have demonstrated kidney, cardiovascular and mortality benefits in the general population; however, the evidence is limited in solid organ transplant recipients. The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the current efficacy and safety data of SGLT2 inhibitors in adult kidney, heart, lung, and liver transplant recipients with pre-existing type 2 or post-transplantation diabetes mellitus. METHOD We searched MEDLINE, MEDLINE Epub, CENTRAL, CDSR, EMBASE, CINAHL, and sources of unpublished literature. All primary interventional and observational studies on SGLT2 inhibitors in transplant recipients were included. Clinical outcomes included mortality, cardiovascular and kidney events, and adverse events such as graft rejection. Surrogate markers including hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and weight reduction were also evaluated. RESULTS Of the 17 studies that were included in this systematic review, there were 15 studies on kidney transplant recipients (n = 2417 patients) and two studies on heart transplant recipients (n = 122 patients). There was only one randomized controlled trial which evaluated 49 kidney transplant patients over 24 weeks. Overall, studies were heterogeneous in study design, sample size, duration of diabetes, time to SGLT2 inhibitor initiation post-transplantation (ranging from 0.88 to 11 years post kidney transplant; five to 5.7 years post heart transplant) and follow-up (ranging from 0.4 to 5.25 years in kidney transplant patients; 0.75 to one year in heart transplant patients). Only one retrospective study evaluated mortality as a part of a composite outcome in kidney transplant patients; however, study limitations restrict generalizability of results. Overall, studies could not confirm clinical cardiovascular and kidney benefits in the transplant population. Findings suggested that SGLT2 inhibitors may improve glycemic control; however, they are associated with urinary tract infection. Diabetic ketoacidosis and acute kidney injury also occurred in these studies, with precipitating factors such as infection and acute heart failure exacerbation. CONCLUSIONS While SGLT2 inhibitors are promising agents with expanding indications in the non-transplant population, these agents may not be suitable for all solid organ transplant recipients, and close monitoring (e.g. for urinary tract infections) and patient education (e.g. sick day management) are essential if these agents are initiated. Evidence is based on short-term findings and suggests an association with hemoglobin A1c reduction and increased adverse events. Further long-term randomized controlled trials are needed to evaluate the effect of SGLT2 inhibitors on clinically important outcomes, including mortality reduction, in solid organ transplant recipients.

Abstract
Purpose The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) have been extensively studied in a variety of diseases. However, research on their relationship with diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is limited. The aim of our study was to investigate the association between these two indicators and renal function in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes and assess whether they can serve as predictors of DKD. Methods This cross-sectional study enrolled 655 Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes. Subjects were divided into three groups according to the urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR). The differences in the NLR and PLR among the groups and their correlation with renal function were analyzed. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze independent risk factors for DKD, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to assess the predictive values of the NLR and PLR for the disease. Results The NLR and PLR were significantly different among the three groups, and they increased with increasing levels of albuminuria. Pearson's correlation analysis showed that the NLR and PLR were positively correlated with the UACR but negatively correlated with the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) (p<0.001). Logistic regression analysis showed that these two indicators were independent risk factors for DKD (p<0.001). The results of ROC curve analysis suggested that the NLR (AUC=0.794; 95% CI, 0.760-0.827; p<0.001) and PLR (AUC=0.665; 95% CI, 0.623-0.706, p<0.001) had important diagnostic value for DKD. Conclusion The NLR and PLR were closely associated with renal function among Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes, and high NLR and PLR values may serve as predictors of DKD.

Whether Renal Pathology Is an Independent Predictor for End-Stage Renal Disease in Diabetic Kidney Disease Patients with Nephrotic Range Proteinuria: A Biopsy-Based Study. J Clin Med 2022; 12:jcm12010088. [PMID: 36614886 PMCID: PMC9820945 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12010088] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2022] [Revised: 12/09/2022] [Accepted: 12/14/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Aims: To investigate whether renal pathology is an independent predictor for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in diabetic kidney diseases (DKD) with nephrotic range proteinuria. Methods: A total of 199 DKD patients with nephrotic range proteinuria underwent renal biopsy and were divided into an ESRD group and a non-ESRD group. A Kaplan−Meier analysis was used to compare renal survival rate, and univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazard analyses were used to determine the predictors of the ESRD. Results: The mean age of included patients was 51.49 ± 9.12 years and 113 patients (56.8%) progressed to ESRD. The median follow-up period was 16 (12−28) months. The glomerular pathology class III is the most common type (54.3%). In the Kaplan−Meier analysis, compared with patients without ESRD, patients with ESRD had a longer duration of diabetes (≥6 years), lower eGFR (<60 mL/min/1.73 m2), lower albumin (<30 g/L), lower hemoglobin (<120 g/L), and a higher grade of glomerular stage (class III + IV vs. class I + II) (p < 0.05). The hemoglobin and e-GFR, but not the histopathological damage, were significantly associated with a higher risk of ESRD in both the univariate and multivariate Cox analyses. Conclusions: In patients with diabetic kidney disease characterized by nephrotic range proteinuria, histopathological damage (glomerular alterations, interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy (IFTA), interstitial inflammation, and arteriolar hyalinosis) is not associated with poor renal outcomes, but hemoglobin and e-GFR could predict poor renal outcomes.

Abstract
Introduction: Qing-Re-Xiao-Zheng-Yi-Qi Formula is an effective prescription in diabetic kidney disease treatment, we have confirmed the efficacy of Qing-Re-Xiao-Zheng therapy in diabetic kidney disease through clinical trials. In this study, we investigated the mechanisms of Qing-Re-Xiao-Zheng-Yi-Qi Formula in the treatment of diabetic kidney disease. Methods: We used Vanquish UHPLCTM to analyze the chemical profiling of Qing-Re-Xiao-Zheng-Yi-Qi Formula freeze-dried powder. We constructed diabetic kidney disease rat models induced by unilateral nephrectomy and high-dose streptozocin injection. We examined blood urea nitrogen, serum creatinine, serum glucose, total cholesterol, triglyceride, serum total protein, albumin, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase and 24 h urinary total protein in diabetic kidney disease rats. The renal pathological changes were observed by HE, Masson, PAS stanning and transmission electron microscopy. The levels of fibrosis-related proteins and mitophagy-related proteins were detected by western blot analysis. We also conducted an immunofluorescence co-localization analysis on podocytes to further investigate the effect of Qing-Re-Xiao-Zheng-Yi-Qi Formula treatment on mitophagy. Results: A total of 27 constituents in Qing-Re-Xiao-Zheng-Yi-Qi Formula were tentatively identified. We found PINK1/Parkin-mediated mitophagy was inhibited in diabetic kidney disease. Qing-Re-Xiao-Zheng-Yi-Qi Formula treatment could raise body weight and reduce renal index, reduce proteinuria, improve glycolipid metabolic disorders, ameliorate renal fibrosis, and reduce the expression of Col Ⅳ and TGF-β1 in diabetic kidney disease rats. Qing-Re-Xiao-Zheng-Yi-Qi Formula treatment could also increase the expression of nephrin, activate mitophagy and protect podocytes in diabetic kidney disease rats and high glucose cultured podocytes. Conclusion: PINK1/Parkin-mediated mitophagy was inhibited in diabetic kidney disease, and Qing-Re-Xiao-Zheng-Yi-Qi Formula treatment could not only ameliorate pathological damage, but also promote mitophagy to protect podocytes in diabetic kidney disease.

Abstract
Diabetes and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are important comorbidities in patients with heart failure (HF) that can complicate the clinical management and have major implications for morbidity and mortality. In addition, the presence of these comorbidities, particularly advanced CKD, is a limitation for the implementation of guideline-directed therapies in patients with HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Though clinical trials in patients with HFrEF trials included varying percentages of patients with diabetes and/or CKD, patients with advanced CKD have been excluded in most HF studies. Thus, management recommendations for these patients often have to be extrapolated from subgroup analyses. This article summarizes pathophysiological aspects of the interaction of HFrEF, CKD, and diabetes and addresses clinical aspects for the screening of these comorbidities. Moreover, current treatment options for patients with HFrEF and CKD and/or diabetes are discussed and novel strategies such as the use of the selective mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist Finerenone are addressed.

In Silico Prediction of Hub Genes Involved in Diabetic Kidney and COVID-19 Related Disease by Differential Gene Expression and Interactome Analysis. Genes (Basel) 2022; 13:genes13122412. [PMID: 36553678 PMCID: PMC9778100 DOI: 10.3390/genes13122412] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/26/2022] [Revised: 12/14/2022] [Accepted: 12/16/2022] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a frequently chronic kidney pathology derived from diabetes comorbidity. This condition has irreversible damage and its risk factor increases with SARS-CoV-2 infection. The prognostic outcome for diabetic patients with COVID-19 is dismal, even with intensive medical treatment. However, there is still scarce information on critical genes involved in the pathophysiological impact of COVID-19 on DKD. Herein, we characterize differential expression gene (DEG) profiles and determine hub genes undergoing transcriptional reprogramming in both disease conditions. Out of 995 DEGs, we identified 42 shared with COVID-19 pathways. Enrichment analysis elucidated that they are significantly induced with implications for immune and inflammatory responses. By performing a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network and applying topological methods, we determine the following five hub genes: STAT1, IRF7, ISG15, MX1 and OAS1. Then, by network deconvolution, we determine their co-expressed gene modules. Moreover, we validate the conservancy of their upregulation using the Coronascape database (DB). Finally, tissue-specific regulation of the five predictive hub genes indicates that OAS1 and MX1 expression levels are lower in healthy kidney tissue. Altogether, our results suggest that these genes could play an essential role in developing severe outcomes of COVID-19 in DKD patients.

Icariin Treatment Rescues Diabetes Induced Bone Loss via Scavenging ROS and Activating Primary Cilia/Gli2/Osteocalcin Signaling Pathway. Cells 2022; 11:cells11244091. [PMID: 36552853 PMCID: PMC9777100 DOI: 10.3390/cells11244091] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/24/2022] [Revised: 12/10/2022] [Accepted: 12/14/2022] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Diabetes-associated bone complications lead to fragile bone mechanical strength and osteoporosis, aggravating the disease burden of patients. Advanced evidence shows that chronic hyperglycemia and metabolic intermediates, such as inflammatory factor, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and advanced glycation end products (AGEs), are regarded as dominant hazardous factors of bone complications, whereas the pathophysiological mechanisms are complex and controversial. By establishing a diabetic Sprague-Dawley (SD) rat model and diabetic bone loss cell model in vitro, we confirmed that diabetes impaired primary cilia and led to bone loss, while adding Icariin (ICA) could relieve the inhibitions. Mechanistically, ICA could scavenge ROS to maintain the mitochondrial and primary cilia homeostasis of osteoblasts. Intact primary cilia acted as anchoring and modifying sites of Gli2, thereby activating the primary cilia/Gli2/osteocalcin signaling pathway to promote osteoblast differentiation. All results suggest that ICA has potential as a therapeutic drug targeting bone loss induced by diabetes.

Abstract
Previous studies suggested that increased serum uric acid (SUA) level is an independent risk factor for albuminuria in Type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients. However, the association between SUA and onset of Type 2 DKD (T2DKD) remained to be clarified. This was a cross-sectional clinical study in which 1210 Chinese T2D patients were enrolled. According to the urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR), the cohort was divided into normal-albuminuria (UACR < 30 mg/g), micro-albuminuria (UACR 30-300 mg/g) and macro-albuminuria (UACR > 300 mg/g). The micro- and macro-albuminuria groups were combined into albuminuria category. Results showed that T2D patients with macro-albuminuria have significantly higher SUA than the other 2 groups (P < .001). In the binary logistic regression model, the subjects with SUA higher than 420 μmol/L were associated with a 2-fold increase in the odds of albuminuria (odds ratio = 2.024, 95% confidence interval: 1.232-3.325, P = .005), as compared with those with SUA lower than 300 μmol/L. Moreover, the multinomial regression analysis revealed that the subjects with SUA higher than 420 μmol/L had about 3-fold increase in the odds of macro-albuminuria (odds ratio = 3.758, 95% confidence interval: 2.051-6.885, P < .001), as compared with those with SUA lower than 300 μmol/L. However, SUA was not significantly associated with the presence of micro-albuminuria. Although the SUAwas not independently risk factor for micro-albuminuria, it was closely correlated with the development of macro-albuminuria in Chinese T2DKD patients. Elevated SUA may be useful for predicting the occurrence of macro-albuminuria but not onset of micro-albuminuria at the early stage of T2DKD.

Abstract
This prospective cohort study explored whether body constitution (BC) independently predicts new-onset albuminuria in persons with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) enrolled in the diabetes care management program (DCMP) of a medical center, providing evidence of integrating traditional Chinese medicine into DCMP for improving care quality. Persons with T2DM (n = 426) originally without albuminuria enrolled in DCMP were recruited in 2010 and were then followed up to 2015 for detecting new-onset albuminuria. The participants received urinalysis and blood test annually. Albuminuria was determined by an elevated urinary albumin/creatinine ratio (≥ 30 µg/mg), and poor glucose control was defined as Glycosylated hemoglobin above or equal to 7%. BC type (Yin deficiency, Yang deficiency, and phlegm stasis) was assessed using a well-validated body constitution questionnaire at baseline. Risk factors for albuminuria (sociodemographic factors, diabetes history, lifestyle behaviors, lipid profile, blood pressure, and kidney function) were also recorded. Hazard ratios (HR) of albuminuria for BC were estimated using multivariate Cox proportional hazards model. During the 4-year follow-up period, albuminuria occurred in 30.5% of participants (n = 130). The HR indicated that Yin deficiency was significantly associated with an increased risk of new-onset albuminuria in persons with T2DM and good glucose control after adjustment for other risk factors (HR = 2.09; 95% confidence interval = 1.05-4.17, P = .04), but not in those with poor glucose control. In persons with T2DM and poor glucose control, phlegm stasis was also significantly associated with a higher risk of albuminuria (2.26; 1.03-4.94, P = .04) after multivariate adjustment, but not in those with good glucose control. In addition to already-known risk factors, BC is an independent and significant factor associated with new-onset albuminuria in persons with T2DM. Our results imply Yin deficiency and phlegm stasis interacting with glucose control status may affect new-onset albuminuria in persons with T2DM.

SPORTS MEDICINE - OPEN 2022; 8:147. [PMID: 36512143 PMCID: PMC9746582 DOI: 10.1186/s40798-022-00542-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/23/2022] [Accepted: 11/27/2022] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Kidney diseases are viewed as continuously progressing diseases from microalbuminuria and chronic kidney disease (CKD), to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and its mortality including deaths. The report on the association between prolonged sitting and kidney diseases is limited. METHODS We examined a cohort of 455,506 participants in a screening program in Taiwan conducted between 1996 and 2017. Data on occupational sedentary behavior and physical activity were collected with a standardized questionnaire. The outcomes of ESRD and death were identified by linking with the Catastrophic Illness Dataset and Cause of Death Data. The association between prolonged sitting and CKD, the incidence of ESRD, and death were assessed using logistic regression models to compute odds ratios (ORs) and Cox proportional hazards models for hazard ratios (HRs). RESULTS More than half of the participants, i.e., 265,948 (58.4%), were categorized as "prolonged sitting" during their work. During a median of 13 years of follow-up, we identified 2227 individuals undergoing dialysis and 25,671 deaths. Prolonged occupational sitting was significantly associated with a higher risk of CKD (OR: 1.26, 95% confidence interval: 1.21, 1.31), ESRD (HR: 1.19, 95% CI 1.03, 1.38), and kidney-specific mortality (HR: 1.43, 95% CI 1.07, 1.91) compared to mostly standing participants after controlling for physical activity and other risk factors. Inactive prolonged sitting carries a significantly higher risk of ESRD than physically active mostly standing participants (HR: 1.34, 95% CI 1.04, 1.73). However, active prolonged sitting decreased the risk of ESRD (HR: 1.03, 95% CI 0.79, 1.34) compared to inactive prolonged sitting. CONCLUSION The results suggest that prolonged occupational sitting is associated with a greater risk of the spectrum of kidney disease, proteinuria, CKD, dialysis (ESRD), and mortality for all causes and kidney diseases. Physical activity, even at a minimal level of 15 min/day (90 min/week) of moderate-intensity exercise, was associated with a reduction in these risks.

Abstract
It is well established that an elevated potassium level (hyperkalemia) is associated with a risk of adverse events including morbidity, mortality and healthcare system cost. Hyperkalemia is commonly encountered in many chronic conditions including kidney disease, diabetes and heart failure. Furthermore, hyperkalemia may result from the use of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors (RAASi), which are disease-modifying treatments for these conditions. Therefore, balancing the benefits of optimizing treatment with RAASi while mitigating hyperkalemia is crucial to ensure patients are optimally treated. In this review, we will briefly discuss the definition, causes, epidemiology and consequences of hyperkalemia. The majority of the review will be focused on management of hyperkalemia in the acute and chronic setting, emphasizing contemporary approaches and evolving data on the relevance of dietary restriction and the use of novel potassium binders.

Abstract
The outcomes of patients with moderate renal impairment and the impact of liver disease etiology on renal function recovery after liver transplant alone (LTA) are largely unknown. We explored whether NAFLD patients with pre-LTA moderate renal dysfunction (GFR 25-45 ml/min/1.73 m2) may be more susceptible to develop post-LTA severe renal dysfunction (GFR<15 ml/min/1.73 m2) than ALD patients, as well as other overall outcomes. Using the UNOS/OPTN database, we selected patients undergoing liver transplant for NAFLD or ALD (2006-2016), 15,103 of whom received LTA. NAFLD patients with moderate renal dysfunction were more likely to develop subsequent GFR<15 ml/min/1.73 m2 than ALD patients (11.1% vs. 7.38%, p < 0.001). Patients on short-term dialysis pre-LTA (≤12 weeks) were more likely to develop severe renal dysfunction (31.7% vs. 18.1%), especially in NAFLD patients, and were more likely to receive a further kidney transplant (15.3% vs. 3.7%) and had lower survival (48.6% vs. 50.4%) after LTA (p < 0.001 for all). NAFLD was an independent risk factor for post-LTA severe renal dysfunction (HR = 1.2, p = 0.02). NAFLD patients with moderate renal dysfunction and those receiving short-term dialysis prior to LTA are at a higher risk of developing subsequent severe renal dysfunction. Underlying etiology of liver disease may play a role in predicting development and progression of renal failure in patients receiving LTA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The relationship between self-rated health (SRH) and the development of incident chronic kidney disease (CKD) has not been explored in the general population. METHODS We reviewed the data of 7027 participants in the Ansung-Ansan cohort study. SRH was categorized as poor, fair, or good, and the outcome was the development of CKD, defined as the first event of an estimated glomerular filtration rate < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2, at least twice during the follow-up period. Hazard ratios (HRs) and confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using Cox proportional hazards regression analysis. RESULTS Over a mean follow-up duration of 11.9 years, 951 participants (13.5%) developed CKD. Compared with poor self-rated health, the HR (95% CI) of fair self-rated health for incident CKD development was 0.771 (0.657-0.905; P = 0.001), whereas that of good self-rated health was 0.795 (0.676-0.935; P = 0.006). However, the renal hazard of good self-rated health did not differ from that of fair self-rated health. In the fully adjusted model, the HR (95% CI) of poor self-rated health compared to non-poor self-rated health for incident CKD was 1.278 (1.114-1.465, P < 0.001). Old age, smoking, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, hypertension, impaired sleep, and high levels of C-reactive protein and white blood cell counts were associated with increased odds of poor self-rated health, whereas male sex, college graduate level of education, and alcohol consumption were associated with decreased odds of poor self-rated health. CONCLUSION Poor self-rated health is independently associated with CKD development. Therefore, the early detection of potential CKD patients through a brief questionnaire assessment may help control the incidence of CKD.

Abstract
Background Lycopene is one of the hydrocarbon carotenoids which is largely studied for its strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, as well as improvement of endothelial function and anti-arteriosclerosis effects. The use of lycopene has been shown to reduce mortality in the general population. However, few studies have examined the association between serum lycopene level and all-cause and cardiovascular mortality among participants with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Method This study included 7,683 adults with CKD from the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III, 1988-1994) and NHANES 2001-2006. Mortality status and cause of death were ascertained by linkage to National Death Index records through 31 December 2018. Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to estimate hazard ratios (HR) and 95% CIs for mortality from all-cause and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Result During a median follow-up time of 309 months, there were 5,226 total deaths. The median (interquartile range) serum lycopene concentration was 20.0 (12.0, 32.0) μg/dl. After fully adjusted, restricted cubic spline analyses reported that higher serum lycopene concentrations were significantly associated with decreased risk of all-cause and CVD mortality in participants with CKD (P < 0.001, P = 0.001). When extreme quartiles of serum lycopene concentrations were compared, the multivariable-adjusted HR (95% CI) was 0.778 (0.714-0.848) for all-cause mortality (P < 0.001), and 0.791 (0.692-0.905) for CVD mortality (P < 0.001). Specifically, higher serum lycopene decreased the risk of all-cause and CVD mortality at both CKD stage 1-2 and stage 3-5. Further subgroup analyses and sensitivity analyses supported the current results. Conclusion Higher serum lycopene was independently associated with a decreased risk of all-cause and CVD mortality in patients with CKD. These findings suggested that maintain serum lycopene concentrations could lower mortality risk in CKD patients.

Renal function decline and heart failure hospitalisation in patients with type 2 diabetes: Dynamic predictions from the prospective SURDIAGENE cohort. Diabetes Res Clin Pract 2022; 194:110152. [PMID: 36375567 DOI: 10.1016/j.diabres.2022.110152] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/21/2022] [Revised: 10/27/2022] [Accepted: 11/06/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022]
Abstract
AIMS For type 2 diabetes persons, we assessed the association between renal function decline and heart failure hospitalisation (HFH) and validated dynamic HFH predictions (DynHFH) based on repeated estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) values. METHODS We studied 1413 patients from the SURDIAGENE cohort. From a joint model for longitudinal CKD-EPI measures and HFH risk, we calculated the probability of being HFH-free in the next five years. RESULTS The mean eGFR decline was estimated at 1.48 ml/min/1.73 m2 per year (95 % CI from 1.23 to 1.74). We observed that eGFR decline was significantly associated with the HFH risk (adjHR = 1.15 for an increase in yearly decline of 1 ml/min/1.73 m2, 95 % CI from 1.03 to 1.26) independently of 7 baseline variables (from clinical, biological and ECG domains). Discrimination was good along the prediction times: AUC at 0.87 (95 %CI from 0.84 to 0.91) at patient inclusion and 0.77 (95 %CI from 0.67 to 0.87) at seven years' follow-up. CONCLUSIONS Renal function decline was significantly associated with the HFH risk. In the era of computer-assisted medical decisions, the DynHFH, a tool that dynamically predicts HFH in type 2 diabetes persons (https://shiny.idbc.fr/DynHFH), might be helpful for precision medicine and the implementation of stratified medical decision-making.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is defined as a relevant excretion of albumin into the urine or a reduction of the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) over a longer time period of ≥ 3 months. The causes of CKD are manifold, whereby the association with diabetes mellitus is the most frequent cause. Early stages of CKD affect approximately 10% of the total population. The frequency of cardiovascular events, the risk of dependency on dialysis and the all-cause mortality increase exponentially with a decrease in the GFR and an increase in albuminuria. The guidelines of the German College of General Practitioners and Family Physicians (DEGAM) and the organization Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) recommend referral to a nephrologist with a GFR of ≤ 30 or ≤ 60 ml/min/1.73 m2 in the presence of various cofactors. This means that the majority of CKD patients are treated by general internists or general practitioners. This article gives a concise summary of current data on the treatment of CKD and its associated complications in clinical practice. It refers to the current guidelines and also new study results which could perspectively expand the therapeutic repertoire.

Abstract
Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is the most common cause of end-stage kidney disease. Blood pressure (BP) control can reduce the risks of cardiovascular (CV) morbidity, mortality, and kidney disease progression. Recently, the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) guidelines have suggested the implementation of a more intensive BP control with a target systolic BP (SBP) of <120 mmHg based on the evidence that the CV benefits obtained is outweighed by the kidney injury risk associated with a lower BP target. However, an extremely low BP level may paradoxically aggravate renal function and CV outcomes. Herein, we aimed to review the existing literature regarding optimal BP control using medications for DKD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Achieving optimal glycemic targets is the main therapeutic goal in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) mellitus. HbA1c is the reference biomarker for monitoring glycemic control; however, in specific conditions affecting erythrocyte turnover or in patients on multiple daily injection (MDI) insulin regimens, the determination of glycated albumin (GA) may be preferable. Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors represent a novel class of antidiabetic drugs that lower plasma glucose concentrations quickly, with insulin-independent mechanisms. Herein, we explored the role of GA in predicting the short-term response to SGLT-2 inhibitors as add-on to MDI insulin. METHODS Sixteen patients with long-standing, poorly controlled T2D on MDI insulin starting an SGLT-2 inhibitor were subjected to plasma GA and HbA1c measurements at 30 days intervals for up to 3 months in order to examine the temporal changes of these glycemic biomarkers. RESULTS At the end of the study, grossly coincident with the life span of erythrocytes, a significant decrease in median HbA1c was observed, (from 8.7 [range: 8.2-9.3%] at baseline to 7.2 [range: 7.0-7.9%]), with the advantage of less insulin dose requirements. However, significant, and incremental reductions in median GA determinations could be already evident after 30 days (-3.5 [range: -7.5, -2.5%]) and 60 days (-6.4 [range: -10.5, -4.7%]) from the start of SGLT-2 inhibitor treatment and persisted for up to 3 months (-8.6 [range: -12.1, 6.1%]). The decrements of HbA1c observed at the 3-month visit were highly correlated with the concurrent absolute reductions of plasma GA (ρ=0.550, P=0.027), whereas a borderline significance could be demonstrated with reference to reductions in plasma GA at 30 and 60 days. CONCLUSIONS Although limited by the small number of participants, these preliminary findings suggest that GA, rather than HbA1c, could represent a useful and reliable biomarker in T2D to monitor the early glucose-lowering effects of antidiabetic drugs with rapid onset of action, such as SGLT-2 inhibitors and MDI insulin.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In patients with inflammatory rheumatic diseases and renal insufficiency there are two challenges for physicians: to adapt the antirheumatic medication to the renal function and to carry out a nephroprotective treatment that prevents long-term deterioration of renal function and reduces the elevated cardiovascular risk. METHODS A literature search (in PubMed) was carried out and the current state of knowledge on nephroprotective treatment strategies and the treatment of rheumatic diseases in the presence of renal insufficiency was collated, evaluated and summarized. RESULTS Lifestyle interventions, especially the cessation of smoking and drug treatment strategies form the basis of nephroprotection including the control of diabetes mellitus with metformin, sodium glucose transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP1) analogues and control of hypertension with blockade of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), hyperlipidemia, hyperphosphatemia and metabolic acidosis. The SGLT2 inhibitors are also effective for nondiabetic nephropathy. The elevated cardiovascular risk is further reduced by effective control of inflammatory rheumatic activity. Numerous conventional disease modifying antirheumatic drugs, especially methotrexate and the Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors baricitinib and filgotinib, must mostly be adapted to the renal function. In contrast, biologics can be given in standard doses with the exception of anakinra. The increased cardiovascular risk currently limits the use of tofacitinib in patients with renal insufficiency. CONCLUSION The antirheumatic medication should be modified and a complex nephroprotective treatment concept is mandatory in the management of patients with rheumatic disease and renal insufficiency, that in the best-case scenario can be guaranteed by a close interdisciplinary cooperation of rheumatologists and nephrologists.

Abstract
The angiotensin receptor blocker telmisartan slows progression of kidney disease in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D), yet many patients remain at high risk for progressive kidney function loss. The underlying mechanisms for this response variation might be attributed to differences in angiotensin-1 receptor occupancy (RO), resulting from individual variation in plasma drug exposure, tissue drug exposure, and receptor availability. Therefore, we first assessed the relationship between plasma telmisartan exposure and urinary-albumin-to-creatinine-ratio (UACR) in 10 patients with T2D and albuminuria (mean age 66 years, median UACR 297 mg/g) after 4 weeks treatment with 80 mg telmisartan once daily. Increasing telmisartan exposure associated with a larger reduction in UACR (Pearson correlation coefficient (PCC) = -0.64, P = 0.046, median change UACR: -40.1%, 95% confidence interval (CI): -22.9 to -77.4%, mean telmisartan area under the curve (AUC) = 2927.1 ng·hour/mL, 95% CI: 723.0 to 6501.6 ng·hour/mL). Subsequently, we assessed the relation among plasma telmisartan exposure, kidney distribution, and angiotensin-1 RO in five patients with T2D (mean age 60 years, median UACR 72 mg/g) in a separate positron emission tomography imaging study with [11 C]Telmisartan. Individual plasma telmisartan exposure correlated with telmisartan distribution to the kidneys (PCC = 0.976, P = 0.024). A meaningful RO could be calculated in three patients receiving 120 mg oral telmisartan, and although high exposure seems related to higher RO, with AUC0-last of 31, 840, and 274 ng·hour/mL and corresponding RO values 5.5%, 44%, and 59%, this was not significant (P = 0.64). Together these results indicate, for the first time, a relationship among interindividual differences in plasma exposure, kidney tissue distribution, RO, and ultimately UACR response after telmisartan administration.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Kidney disease screening recommendations include annual urine testing for albuminuria after 5 years' duration of type 1 diabetes. We aimed to determine a simple, risk factor-based screening schedule that optimizes early detection and testing frequency. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Urinary albumin excretion measurements from 1,343 participants in the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial and its long-term follow-up were used to create piecewise-exponential incidence models assuming 6-month constant hazards. Likelihood of the onset of moderately or severely elevated albuminuria (confirmed albumin excretion rate AER ≥30 or ≥300 mg/24 h, respectively) and its risk factors were used to identify individualized screening schedules. Time with undetected albuminuria and number of tests were compared with annual screening. RESULTS The 3-year cumulative incidence of elevated albuminuria following normoalbuminuria at any time during the study was 3.2%, which was strongly associated with higher glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and AER. Personalized screening in 2 years for those with current AER ≤10 mg/24 h and HbA1c ≤8% (low risk [0.6% three-year cumulative incidence]), in 6 months for those with AER 21-30 mg/24 h or HbA1c ≥9% (high risk [8.9% three-year cumulative incidence]), and in 1 year for all others (average risk [2.4% three-year cumulative incidence]) was associated with 34.9% reduction in time with undetected albuminuria and 20.4% reduction in testing frequency as compared with annual screening. Stratification by categories of HbA1c or AER alone was associated with reductions of lesser magnitude. CONCLUSIONS A personalized alternative to annual screening in type 1 diabetes can substantially reduce both the time with undetected kidney disease and the frequency of urine testing. ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS Kidney disease screening recommendations include annual urine testing for albuminuria after 5 years' duration of type 1 diabetes. We investigated simple screening schedules that optimize early detection and testing frequency. Personalized screening in 2 years for those with current AER ≤10 mg/24 h and HbA1c ≤8%, in 6 months for those with AER 21-30 mg/24 h or HbA1c ≥9%, and in 1 year for all others yielded 34.9% reduction in time with undetected albuminuria and 20.4% fewer evaluations compared with annual screening. A personalized alternative to annual screening in type 1 diabetes can substantially reduce both the time with undetected kidney disease and the frequency of urine testing.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the cardiovascular outcomes of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP1-RA) in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). MATERIALS AND METHODS We searched PubMed, Ovid MEDLINE, CINAHL, and Web of Science databases for randomized controlled trials reporting event rates for a composite cardiovascular outcome of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, and stroke in patients with T2DM and CKD receiving GLP1-RA or placebo. Studies were restricted to those reporting specific event rates for patients with CKD separately from the overall population. We conducted a meta-analysis using a random-effects model. This meta-analysis was registered on PROSPERO (CRD42022320157). RESULTS A total of four studies comprising 7130 patients was included in our analysis. Four different GLP1-RA were assessed in a population with CKD defined as estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <60 ml/min/1.73 m2 . Treatment with GLP1-RA was not associated with a significant reduction in the composite cardiovascular end point of cardiovascular death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, and nonfatal stroke (odds ratio (OR) 0.80; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.59-1.07; p = 0.13) among patients with T2DM and CKD. Individual components of the composite cardiovascular end point were assessed in two trials and did not show evidence of an effect of GLP1-RA in reducing cardiovascular end points. CONCLUSIONS Pooled analysis of clinical trials reporting separate cardiovascular events rates in patients with T2DM and CKD did not find GLP1-RA to be associated with a reduction in composite cardiovascular event rates. Select GLP1-RA may offer cardiovascular event reduction in patients with T2DM and CKD, but this does not appear to be a class effect. Use of GLP1-RA with demonstrated cardiovascular benefits should be preferred in patients with CKD and T2DM to further reduce cardiovascular risk.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Diabetic nephropathy remains a significant economic and social burden on both the individual patient and health-care systems as the prevalence of diabetes increases in the general population. The complex pathophysiology of diabetic kidney disease poses a challenge in the development of effective medical treatments for the disease. However, the multiple facets of diabetic nephropathy also offer a variety of potential strategies to manage this condition. AREAS COVERED We retrieved PubMed, Cochrane Library, Scopus, Google Scholar, and ClinicalTrials.gov records to identify studies and articles focused on new pharmacologic advances to treat diabetic nephropathy. EXPERT OPINION RAAS blockers have remained the mainstay of therapy for DM nephropathy for many years, with only recent advancements with SGLT2 inhibitors and nonsteroidal MRAs. Better understanding of the long-term renal effects of ambient hyperglycemia, ranging from hemodynamic changes to increased production of oxidative and pro-inflammatory substances, has evolved our approach to the treatment of diabetic nephropathy. With continuing research for new therapeutics as well as combination therapy, the medical community may be able to better ease the burden of diabetic kidney disease.

Prescription Patterns of Cardiovascular- and Kidney-Protective Therapies Among Patients With Type 2 Diabetes and Chronic Kidney Disease. Diabetes Care 2022; 45:2900-2906. [PMID: 36156061 PMCID: PMC9998844 DOI: 10.2337/dc22-0614] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2022] [Accepted: 08/29/2022] [Indexed: 02/03/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE 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 >20% (vs. <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 >5%, compared with <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
OBJECTIVE Finerenone reduced the risk of kidney and cardiovascular events in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and type 2 diabetes in the FIDELIO-DKD and FIGARO-DKD phase 3 studies. Effects of finerenone on outcomes in patients taking sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) were evaluated in a prespecified pooled analysis of these studies. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Patients with type 2 diabetes and urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) ≥30 to ≤5,000 mg/g and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥25 mL/min/1.73 m2 were randomly assigned to finerenone or placebo; SGLT2is were permitted at any time. Outcomes included cardiovascular composite (cardiovascular death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, nonfatal stroke, or hospitalization for heart failure) and kidney composite (kidney failure, sustained ≥57% eGFR decline, or renal death) end points, changes in UACR and eGFR, and safety outcomes. RESULTS Among 13,026 patients, 877 (6.7%) received an SGLT2i at baseline and 1,113 (8.5%) initiated one during the trial. For the cardiovascular composite, the hazard ratios (HRs) were 0.87 (95% CI 0.79-0.96) without SGLT2i and 0.67 (95% CI 0.42-1.07) with SGLT2i. For the kidney composite, the HRs were 0.80 (95% CI 0.69-0.92) without SGLT2i and 0.42 (95% CI 0.16-1.08) with SGLT2i. Baseline SGLT2i use did not affect risk reduction for the cardiovascular or kidney composites with finerenone (Pinteraction = 0.46 and 0.29, respectively); neither did SGLT2i use concomitant with study treatment. CONCLUSIONS Benefits of finerenone compared with placebo on cardiorenal outcomes in patients with CKD and type 2 diabetes were observed irrespective of SGLT2i use.

Chinese Clinical Practice Guideline for the Management of "CKD-PeriDialysis"-the Periods Prior to and in the Early-Stage of Initial Dialysis. Kidney Int Rep 2022; 7:S531-S558. [PMID: 36567827 PMCID: PMC9782818 DOI: 10.1016/j.ekir.2022.10.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/04/2022] [Revised: 09/26/2022] [Accepted: 10/03/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
The National Experts Group on Nephrology have developed these guidelines to improve the management of pre-dialysis and initial dialysis patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) (two periods contiguous with dialysis initiation termed here 'PeriDialysis CKD'). The pre-dialysis period is variable, whereas the initial dialysis period is more fixed at 3 months to 6 months after initiating dialysis. The new concept and characteristics of 'CKD-PeriDialysis' are proposed in the guideline. During the CKD-PeriDialysis period, the incidence rate of complications, mortality and treatment cost significantly increases and the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) rapidly decreases, which requires intensive management. The guideline systematically and comprehensively elaborates the recommendations for indicators to be used in for disease evaluation, timing and mode selection of renal replacement therapy, dialysis adequacy evaluation, and diagnosis and treatment of common PeriDialysis complications. Finally, future research directions of CKD-PeriDialysis are proposed. CKD-PeriDialysis management is a difficult clinical issue in kidney disease, and the development and implementation of these guidelines is important to improve the management of CKD-PeriDialysis patients in China, which could ultimately improve survival rates and quality of life, and reduce the medical burden.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus type 2 (DM2) is socially important disease, becoming non-infectious epidemic due to increasing prevalence. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is one of the most common diabetic complications. Kidney injury signs and/or estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) decrease are seen in 40-50% of patients with DM2. Three groups of factors are considered to be the basis of CKD development and progression in DM2: metabolic, hemodynamic, inflammation and fibrosis. Existing drugs that are used in patients with CKD and DM2 first of all target hemodynamic and metabolic disturbances, but their action against inflammation and fibrosis is indirect. Hyperactivation of mineralocorticoid receptors (MR) is considered as one of the main trigger factors of end-organ damage in patients with DM2 due to inflammation and fibrosis. Development of selective nonsteroidal MR antagonists (MRA) as a new class of medications is directed to demonstrate positive effects from blocking this pathophysiological pathway of CKD development and overcome the steroidal MRAs’ shortcomings. Hence pathophysiological hyperactivation of MR with subsequent inflammation and fibrosis in patients with CKD in DM2 is considered a promising therapeutic target for the new drugs with cardionephroprotective effect.

Abstract
Sodium-glucose cotransporter inhibitors updated their position in the therapy of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus due to proven nephro- and cardioprotective effects. The DAPA-CKD study, performed among individuals with CKD of various etiologies, was also conducted in a mixed population, including patients without type 2 diabetes, showed the ability of dapagliflozin to reduce the risk of the primary combined endpoint (eGFR15 ml/min/1.73 m2, the need for chronic dialysis or kidney transplantation, time to renal or cardiovascular death), and certain secondary endpoints. Due to the inclusion of dapagliflozin into the treatment of the patients with CKD of not only the diabetic origin and the expected subsequent significant expansion of the patient population with indications for the use of this drug, the review of the results of the sub-analyses of DAPA-CKD study may be of interest to the clinicians.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes accounts for nearly 90% of the approximately 537 million cases of diabetes worldwide. The number affected is increasing rapidly with alarming trends in children and young adults (up to age 40 years). Early detection and proactive management are crucial for prevention and mitigation of microvascular and macrovascular complications and mortality burden. Access to novel therapies improves person-centred outcomes beyond glycaemic control. Precision medicine, including multiomics and pharmacogenomics, hold promise to enhance understanding of disease heterogeneity, leading to targeted therapies. Technology might improve outcomes, but its potential is yet to be realised. Despite advances, substantial barriers to changing the course of the epidemic remain. This Seminar offers a clinically focused review of the recent developments in type 2 diabetes care including controversies and future directions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Large trials have shown that sodium glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors reduce the risk of adverse kidney and cardiovascular outcomes in patients with heart failure or chronic kidney disease, or with type 2 diabetes and high risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. None of the trials recruiting patients with and without diabetes were designed to assess outcomes separately in patients without diabetes. METHODS We did a systematic review and meta-analysis of SGLT2 inhibitor trials. We searched the MEDLINE and Embase databases for trials published from database inception to Sept 5, 2022. SGLT2 inhibitor trials that were double-blind, placebo-controlled, performed in adults (age ≥18 years), large (≥500 participants per group), and at least 6 months in duration were included. Summary-level data used for analysis were extracted from published reports or provided by trial investigators, and inverse-variance-weighted meta-analyses were conducted to estimate treatment effects. The main efficacy outcomes were kidney disease progression (standardised to a definition of a sustained ≥50% decrease in estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] from randomisation, a sustained low eGFR, end-stage kidney disease, or death from kidney failure), acute kidney injury, and a composite of cardiovascular death or hospitalisation for heart failure. Other outcomes were death from cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular disease considered separately, and the main safety outcomes were ketoacidosis and lower limb amputation. This study is registered with PROSPERO, CRD42022351618. FINDINGS We identified 13 trials involving 90 413 participants. After exclusion of four participants with uncertain diabetes status, we analysed 90 409 participants (74 804 [82·7%] participants with diabetes [>99% with type 2 diabetes] and 15 605 [17·3%] without diabetes; trial-level mean baseline eGFR range 37-85 mL/min per 1·73 m2). Compared with placebo, allocation to an SGLT2 inhibitor reduced the risk of kidney disease progression by 37% (relative risk [RR] 0·63, 95% CI 0·58-0·69) with similar RRs in patients with and without diabetes. In the four chronic kidney disease trials, RRs were similar irrespective of primary kidney diagnosis. SGLT2 inhibitors reduced the risk of acute kidney injury by 23% (0·77, 0·70-0·84) and the risk of cardiovascular death or hospitalisation for heart failure by 23% (0·77, 0·74-0·81), again with similar effects in those with and without diabetes. SGLT2 inhibitors also reduced the risk of cardiovascular death (0·86, 0·81-0·92) but did not significantly reduce the risk of non-cardiovascular death (0·94, 0·88-1·02). For these mortality outcomes, RRs were similar in patients with and without diabetes. For all outcomes, results were broadly similar irrespective of trial mean baseline eGFR. Based on estimates of absolute effects, the absolute benefits of SGLT2 inhibition outweighed any serious hazards of ketoacidosis or amputation. INTERPRETATION In addition to the established cardiovascular benefits of SGLT2 inhibitors, the randomised data support their use for modifying risk of kidney disease progression and acute kidney injury, not only in patients with type 2 diabetes at high cardiovascular risk, but also in patients with chronic kidney disease or heart failure irrespective of diabetes status, primary kidney disease, or kidney function.

Abstract
The management of diabetes mellitus (DM) requires maintaining glycemic control, and patients must keep their blood glucose levels close to the normal range to reduce the risk of microvascular complications and cardiovascular events. While glycated hemoglobin (A1C) is currently the primary measure for glucose management and a key marker for long-term complications, it does not provide information on acute glycemic excursions and overall glycemic variability. These limitations may even be higher in some special situations, thereby compromising A1C accuracy, especially when wider glycemic variability is expected and/or when the glycemic goal is more stringent. To attain adequate glycemic control, continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) is more useful than self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG), as it is more convenient and provides a greater amount of data. Flash Glucose Monitoring (isCGM /FGM) is a widely accepted option of CGM for measuring interstitial glucose levels in individuals with DM. However, its application under special conditions, such as pregnancy, patients on hemodialysis, patients with cirrhosis, during hospitalization in the intensive care unit and during physical exercise has not yet been fully validated. This review addresses some of these specific situations in which hypoglycemia should be avoided, or in pregnancy, where strict glycemic control is essential, and the application of isCGM/FGM could alleviate the shortcomings associated with poor glucose control or high glycemic variability, thereby contributing to high-quality care.

Abstract
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is one of the specific complications of diabetes mellitus and one of the leading kidney-related disorders, often requiring renal replacement therapy. Currently, the tests commonly used for the diagnosis of DN, albuminuria (AU) and glomerular filtration rate (GFR), have limited sensitivity and specificity and can usually be noted when typical morphological changes in the kidney have already been manifested. That is why the extreme urgency of the problem of early diagnosis of this disease exists. The untargeted metabolomics analysis of blood plasma samples from 80 patients with type 1 diabetes and early and late stages of DN according to GFR was performed using direct injection mass spectrometry and bioinformatics analysis for diagnosing signatures construction. Among the dysregulated metabolites, combinations of 15 compounds, including amino acids and derivatives, monosaccharides, organic acids, and uremic toxins were selected for signatures for DN diagnosis. The selected metabolite combinations have shown high performance for diagnosing of DN, especially for the late stage (up to 99%). Despite the metabolite signature determined for the early stage of DN being characterized by a diagnostic performance of 81%, these metabolites as potential biomarkers might be useful in the evaluation of treatment of the disease, especially at early stages that may reduce the risk of kidney failure development.

Abstract
The attenuation of diabetic kidney disease (DKD) by metabolic surgery is enhanced by pharmacotherapy promoting renal fatty acid oxidation (FAO). Using the Zucker Diabetic Fatty and Zucker Diabetic Sprague Dawley rat models of DKD, we conducted studies to determine if these effects could be replicated with a non-invasive bariatric mimetic intervention. Metabolic control and renal injury were compared in rats undergoing a dietary restriction plus medical therapy protocol (DMT; fenofibrate, liraglutide, metformin, ramipril, and rosuvastatin) and ad libitum-fed controls. The global renal cortical transcriptome and urinary 1H-NMR metabolomic profiles were also compared. Kidney cell type-specific and medication-specific transcriptomic responses were explored through in silico deconvolution. Transcriptomic and metabolomic correlates of improvements in kidney structure were defined using a molecular morphometric approach. The DMT protocol led to ∼20% weight loss, normalized metabolic parameters and was associated with reductions in indices of glomerular and proximal tubular injury. The transcriptomic response to DMT was dominated by changes in fenofibrate- and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-α (PPARα)-governed peroxisomal and mitochondrial FAO transcripts localizing to the proximal tubule. DMT induced urinary excretion of PPARα-regulated metabolites involved in nicotinamide metabolism and reversed DKD-associated changes in the urinary excretion of tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle intermediates. FAO transcripts and urinary nicotinamide and TCA cycle metabolites were moderately to strongly correlated with improvements in glomerular and proximal tubular injury. Weight loss plus pharmacological PPARα agonism is a promising means of attenuating DKD.

Therapeutic Effect of Curcumin on 5/6Nx Hypertriglyceridemia: Association with the Improvement of Renal Mitochondrial β-Oxidation and Lipid Metabolism in Kidney and Liver. Antioxidants (Basel) 2022; 11:2195. [PMID: 36358567 PMCID: PMC9686550 DOI: 10.3390/antiox11112195] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/12/2022] [Revised: 11/03/2022] [Accepted: 11/04/2022] [Indexed: 10/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) prevalence is constantly increasing, and dyslipidemia in this disease is characteristic, favoring cardiovascular events. However, the mechanisms of CKD dyslipidemia are not fully understood. The use of curcumin (CUR) in CKD models such as 5/6 nephrectomy (5/6Nx) has shown multiple beneficial effects, so it has been proposed to correct dyslipidemia without side effects. This work aimed to characterize CUR's potential therapeutic effect on dyslipidemia and alterations in lipid metabolism and mitochondrial ß-oxidation in the liver and kidney in 5/6Nx. Male Wistar rats were subjected to 5/6Nx and progressed by 4 weeks; meanwhile, CUR (120 mg/kg) was administered for weeks 5 to 8. Our results showed that CUR reversed the increase in liver and kidney damage and hypertriglyceridemia induced by 5/6Nx. CUR also reversed mitochondrial membrane depolarization and β-oxidation disorders in the kidney and the increased lipid uptake and the high levels of proteins involved in fatty acid synthesis in the liver and kidney. CUR also decreased lipogenesis and increased mitochondrial biogenesis markers in the liver. Therefore, we concluded that the therapeutic effect of curcumin on 5/6Nx hypertriglyceridemia is associated with the restoration of renal mitochondrial ß-oxidation and the reduction in lipid synthesis and uptake in the kidneys and liver.

Anthocyanin improves kidney function in diabetic kidney disease by regulating amino acid metabolism. J Transl Med 2022; 20:510. [PMID: 36335368 PMCID: PMC9636632 DOI: 10.1186/s12967-022-03717-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/10/2022] [Accepted: 10/21/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is among the most important causes for chronic kidney disease. Anthocyanins (ANT) are polyphenolic compounds present in various food and play an important role in ameliorating hyperglycemia and insulin sensitivity. However, the effects of ANT in DKD are still poorly understood. This study aimed to investigate the effect of ANT (cyanidin-3-O-glucoside [C3G]) on the renal function of DKD, and whether the anti-DKD effect of ANT is related to metabolic pathways. Methods To explore the role of ANT in DKD, we performed the examination of blood glucose, renal function, and histopathology. As for the mechanism, we designed the label-free quantification proteomics and nontargeted metabolomics analysis for kidney and serum. Subsequently, we revealed the anti-DKD effect of ANT through the bioinformatic analysis. Results We showed that the fasting blood glucose level (− 6.1 mmol/L, P = 0.037), perimeter of glomerular lesions (− 24.1 μm, P = 0.030), fibrosis score of glomerular (− 8.8%, P = 0.002), and kidney function (Cystatin C: − 701.4 pg/mL, P = 0.043; urine creatinine: − 701.4 mmol/L, P = 0.032) were significantly alleviated in DKD mice after ANT treatment compared to untreated in the 20th week. Further, proteins and metabolites in the kidneys of DKD mice were observed to be dramatically altered due to changes in amino acid metabolism with ANT treatment; mainly, taurine and hypotaurine metabolism pathway was upregulated (P = 0.0001, t value = 5.97). Furthermore, upregulated tryptophan metabolism (P < 0.0001, t value = 5.94) and tyrosine metabolism (P = 0.0037, t value = 2.91) pathways had effects on serum of DKD mice as responsed ANT regulating. Conclusions Our results suggested that prevention of the progression of DKD by ANT could be related to the regulation of amino acid metabolism. The use of dietary ANT may be one of the dietary strategies to prevent and treat DKD.

Abstract
Progress in the treatment of diabetic kidney disease (DKD) has been modest since the early trials on renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors (RAASis). Although sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) have revolutionized the management of DKD by lowering proteinuria and protecting organs, other novel treatment approaches with good evidence and efficacy that can be used in conjunction with a RAASi or SGLT2i in managing DKD have emerged in the past few years. This review discusses the evidence for glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, selective mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist, and selective endothelin A receptor antagonist, emerging treatment options for DKD beyond SGLT2 inhibition.

Abstract
AIMS Reflection magnitude (RM), the ratio of the amplitudes of the backward and forward central arterial pressure waves, has been shown to predict cardiovascular events. However, the association with blood pressure (BP) and hypertension is unclear. METHODS We assessed RM in 10 195 individuals of Dutch, South-Asian Surinamese, African Surinamese, Ghanaian, Turkish and Moroccan origin aged between 18 and 70 years (54.2% female) participating in the Healthy Life in an Urban Setting study. To determine RM, central arterial pressure and flow were reconstructed from finger BP. Hypertension was defined based on office-BP and medication. Associations with BP, hypertension, and hypertensive organ damage were assessed using linear regression models with correction for relevant covariates. RESULTS Mean RM was 62.5% (standard deviation [SD] 8.0) in men and 63.8% (SD 8.1) in women. RM was lowest in Dutch and highest in South-Asian and African participants. RM increased linearly with 1.35 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.23-1.46) for every 10 mmHg increase in systolic BP from 120 mmHg onwards, while the relation with diastolic BP was nonlinear. RM was 2.40 (95% CI 2.04-2.76) higher in hypertensive men and 3.82 (95% CI 3.46-4.19) higher in hypertensive women compared to normotensive men and women. In hypertensive men and women with ECG-based left ventricular hypertrophy or albuminuria RM was 1.64 (95% CI 1.09-2.20) and 0.94 (95% CI 0.37-1.52) higher compared to hypertensive participants without hypertensive organ damage. CONCLUSION RM is associated with BP, hypertension and hypertensive organ damage, and may in part explain disparities in hypertension associated cardiovascular risk.

Abstract
AIMS CKD-EPI (chronic kidney disease-epidemiological) serum creatinine equation is widely accepted for calculating estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). The effect of transitioning from the older 2009 to the newer race-independent 2021 CKD-EPI equation on the estimated kidney disease burden (eKDB) was studied in an Asian-Indian population. METHODS The study included 1156 adults, the two equations were compared for agreement (Bland-Altman and Cohen's kappa) and concordance (Lin's correlation and test for proportions). RESULTS The 2021 CKD-EPI increased the eGFR (positive-bias), independent of age-group, gender or presence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and hypertension (HTN). Thus, the eKDB was significantly decreased by 2021 CKD-EPI equation. The agreement was highest for the age-group 31-40 years (95.8 % versus 87.5 % for > 50 years). Besides, the eGFR category was shifted from G3 to G1 in 8.2 % (95 % CI: 6.8-9.9) individuals by 2021 CKD-EPI. The effect of transition on eKDB was greater in individuals > 50 years (7.4 %) or with HTN (6.3 %). CONCLUSION In comparison to the old equation, the 2021 CKD-EPI equation increased the eGFR, lowering the eKDB in this Asian-Indian cohort. The degree of lowering was affected by age-group, and presence of T2DM /HTN, but independent of gender.

Abstract
The Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) 2022 Clinical Practice Guideline for Diabetes Management in Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) represents a focused update of the KDIGO 2020 guideline on the topic. The guideline targets a broad audience of clinicians treating people with diabetes and CKD. Topic areas for which recommendations are updated based on new evidence include Chapter 1: Comprehensive care in patients with diabetes and CKD and Chapter 4: Glucose-lowering therapies in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and CKD. The content of previous chapters on Glycemic monitoring and targets in patients with diabetes and CKD (Chapter 2), Lifestyle interventions in patients with diabetes and CKD (Chapter 3), and Approaches to management of patients with diabetes and CKD (Chapter 5) has been deemed current and was not changed. This guideline update was developed according to an explicit process of evidence review and appraisal. Treatment approaches and guideline recommendations are based on systematic reviews of relevant studies and appraisal of the quality of the evidence, and the strength of recommendations followed the "Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation" (GRADE) approach. Limitations of the evidence are discussed, and areas for which additional research is needed are presented.

Fortunately, our understanding of the benefits of glucose-lowering agents from the sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitor and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist classes on cardiovascular and kidney outcomes is advancing; this means we now have new options to mitigate the risks of these complications in patients with T2D. The SGLT2 inhibitors have consistently demonstrated benefits on atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), chronic kidney disease (CKD) and heart failure (HF) events in dedicated outcome trials. Large guidelines groups now recommend SGLT2 inhibitors as a standard of care in patients with T2D and comorbid ASCVD, CKD and/ or HF. Evolving evidence additionally indicates kidney and HF benefits of SGLT2 inhibitors in populations without diabetes. These agents likely provide heart and kidney benefits through multiple mechanisms, as their impact on heart and kidney outcomes cannot be fully explained by their direct metabolic effects. On-going work to elucidate the beneficial mechanisms at play with SGLT2 inhibitors will help further optimize these life-saving therapies in patients with and without T2D.

Abstract
Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is the leading cause of chronic and end-stage kidney disease worldwide. Its pathogenic mechanism is complex, and it can affect the entire structures of the kidneys such as the glomerulus, tubules and interstitium. Currently, the urinary albumin excretion rate and the estimated glomerular filtration rate are widely accepted as diagnostic criteria. However, some studies have reported a different or non-classical clinical course of DKD, with some patients showing declined kidney function with normal levels of albuminuria, known as the 'non-albuminuric DKD' phenotype. The pathogenesis of this phenotype remains unclear, but some clinical and pathological features have been postulated. This review explores the evidence regarding this topic.
