Wen WL, Lee YJ, Hwu DW, Chang YH. Age- and gender-adjusted estimated glomerular filtration rate definition reveals hyperfiltration as a risk factor for renal function deterioration in type 2 diabetes. Diabetes Obes Metab 2024; 26:1636-1643. [PMID: 38303103 DOI: 10.1111/dom.15465] [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: 10/19/2023] [Revised: 01/02/2024] [Accepted: 01/09/2024] [Indexed: 02/03/2024]
Abstract
AIM To assess the role of hyperfiltration for diabetic kidney disease (DKD) progression. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective observational cohort study enrolled type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients with an initial estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of 60 mL/min/1.73m2 or higher. Patients were categorized into two groups: hyperfiltration (eGFR exceeding the age- and gender-specific 95th percentile values from a prior national cohort study) and normofiltration. Rapid DKD progression was defined as an eGFR decline of more than 5 mL/min/1.73m2/year. We used a linear mixed effect model and Cox regression with time-varying covariate model to compare eGFR changes and identify factors associated with rapid DKD progression. RESULTS Of the enrolled 7563 T2D patients, 7.2% had hyperfiltration. The hyperfiltration group exhibited a higher rate of eGFR decline compared with the normofiltration group (-2.0 ± 0.9 vs. -1.1 ± 0.9 mL/min/1.73m2/year; P < .001). During an average follow-up period of 4.65 ± 3.86 years, 24.7% of patients with hyperfiltration experienced rapid DKD progression, compared with 15.7% of patients with normofiltration (P < .001). Cox regression analyses identified that initial hyperfiltration was a significant determinant of rapid DKD progression, with a hazard ratio of 1.66 (95% confidence interval: 1.41-1.95; P < .001). When combined with albuminuria, the risk of progression was further compounded (hazard ratio 1.76-3.11, all P < .001). CONCLUSIONS In addition to using the current Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes CGA classification system, considering glomerular hyperfiltration status can improve the accuracy of predicting DKD progression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A variety of chronic diseases are affected by diet. To our knowledge, few studies have investigated the relationship between dietary patterns and renal impairment in individuals with diabetes within an Asian population. This study aimed to assess the relationship between renal impairment and dietary patterns in individuals with diabetes within a Chinese population. METHODS In this cross-sectional survey, we analysed data on 1522 participants with diabetes aged 18 years or older who took part in the China National Diabetic Chronic Complications Study. We utilised the Chinese Diabetes Complications Questionnaire, including the semiquantitative food frequency questionnaire (SQFFQ). We identified three dietary patterns using factor analysis: Chinese traditional, healthy and plant-based dietary patterns, and these dietary patterns were used to classify participants into four groups based on the quartiles of their scores. A decrease in the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR; <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 ) and an increase in the albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR; ≥3 mg/mmol) were used as indicators of renal impairment. Binary logistic regression models were used to estimate the odds ratio (OR) of the highest quartile (Q4: high intake levels of each dietary pattern) for renal impairment compared to the lowest quartile (Q1: low intake levels of each dietary pattern). RESULTS Among the 1522 participants, there was a 5.5% prevalence of low eGFR, with prevalence rates of 5.2% in men and 5.9% in women, yet the prevalence of albuminuria was as high as 47.9%. After adjusting for confounders, participants in Q4 of the plant-based dietary pattern had a smaller OR for renal impairment than those in Q1. CONCLUSIONS Our findings demonstrated that a plant-based dietary pattern is associated with a reduced risk of renal impairment in a population with diabetes.

Abstract
The worldwide occurrence of diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is swiftly rising, primarily attributed to the growing population of individuals affected by type 2 diabetes. This surge has been transformed into a substantial global concern, placing additional strain on healthcare systems already grappling with significant demands. The pathogenesis of DKD is intricate, originating with hyperglycemia, which triggers various mechanisms and pathways: metabolic, hemodynamic, inflammatory, and fibrotic which ultimately lead to renal damage. Within each pathway, several mediators contribute to the development of renal structural and functional changes. Some of these mediators, such as inflammatory cytokines, reactive oxygen species, and transforming growth factor β are shared among the different pathways, leading to significant overlap and interaction between them. While current treatment options for DKD have shown advancement over previous strategies, their effectiveness remains somewhat constrained as patients still experience residual risk of disease progression. Therefore, a comprehensive grasp of the molecular mechanisms underlying the onset and progression of DKD is imperative for the continued creation of novel and groundbreaking therapies for this condition. In this review, we discuss the current achievements in fundamental research, with a particular emphasis on individual factors and recent developments in DKD treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Renal hyperfiltration (RHF), recently established as a risk factor for mortality, is linked to current and subsequent diabetes mellitus (DM). DM could be seen as a mediator in the pathway between RHF and mortality. However, the mediating role of DM in the relationship between RHF and mortality is unclear. METHODS AND RESULTS Based on a cohort of 2682 Finnish men from the Kuopio Ischaemic Heart Disease Risk Factor Study (KIHD) followed-up for 35 years, we evaluated the association between RHF and mortality, with DM as a mediator, following two methods: a classic mediation analysis approach, using Cox regression, and a counterfactual framework for mediation analysis, using g-computation, Cox regression, and logistic regression. RHF is associated with an increased risk of mortality. This association was not mediated by DM. Under a counterfactual framework and on a hazard ratio scale, RHF association with mortality had a total effect of 1.54 (95% confidence interval, 1.26-1.98) and a controlled direct effect of 1.66 (1.34-2.16). CONCLUSION An association between RHF and mortality risk, independent of DM, was established. RHF should be considered, managed, and followed-up as a mortality-associated condition, regardless of the status of DM. We suggest clinicians to consider including RHF screening in routine clinical care, especially diabetic care.

Abstract
Glomerular hyperfiltration (GHF) is a phenomenon that can occur in various clinical conditions affecting the kidneys such as sickle cell disease, diabetes mellitus, autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, and solitary functioning kidney. Yet, the pathophysiological mechanisms vary from one disease to another and are not well understood. More so, it has been demonstrated that GHF may occur at the single-nephron in some clinical conditions while in others at the whole-kidney level. In this review, we explore the pathophysiological mechanisms of GHF in relation to various clinical conditions in the pediatric population. In addition, we discuss the role and mechanism of action of important factors such as gender, low birth weight, and race in the pathogenesis of GHF. Finally, in this current review, we further highlight the consequences of GHF in the progression of kidney disease.

Abstract
Animal models play a crucial role in studying the pathogenesis of diseases, developing new drugs, identifying disease risk markers, and improving means of prevention and treatment. However, modeling diabetic kidney disease (DKD) has posed a challenge for scientists. Although numerous models have been successfully developed, none of them can encompass all the key characteristics of human DKD. It is essential to choose the appropriate model according to the research needs, as different models develop different phenotypes and have their limitations. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of biochemical and histological phenotypes, modeling mechanisms, advantages and limitations of DKD animal models, in order to update relevant model information and provide insights and references for generating or selecting the appropriate animal models to fit different experimental needs.

Abstract
Over the years, there have been opinions on whether to reduced blood pressure (BP) to a different levels in patients with diabetes mellitus. Hence, this study investigated the efficacy of the co-administration of losartan (angiotensin receptor blocking antihypertensive agent) with metformin and/or glibenclamide (antidiabetic agents) on hypertensive-diabetic experimental rats induced by NG-nitro-l-arginine-methyl-ester hydrochloride (l-NAME), and streptozotocin (STZ). STZ (45 mg/kg, i.p.)-induced diabetic rats combined with l-NAME (40 mg/kg, p.o.)-induced hypertension were allotted into different groups. Group 1 received distilled water (10 mL/kg) and served as normal control, group 2 comprised hypertensive diabetic rats with distilled water, groups 3-5 were hypertensive-diabetic rats but received combination treatments of losartan + metformin, losartan + glibenclamide, and losartan + metformin + glibenclamide daily for 8 weeks, respectively. Our finding revealed no changes in the body weights, but there was a significant increase in fasting blood sugar levels in l-NAME - STZ-induced hypertensive-diabetes, which were lowered by losartan + metformin, losartan + glibenclamide, and losartan + metformin + glibenclamide treatments. Moreover, the increased systolic-BP, mean arterial pressure but not diastolic-BP and heart rate by l-NAME + STZ were attenuated more significantly by losartan + metformin + glibenclamide between weeks 2-8 relative to hypertensive-diabetic control. l-NAME + STZ-induced elevated levels of lactate dehydrogenase and creatinine kinase, were differentially reversed by losartan + metformin, losartan + glibenclamide, and losartan + metformin + glibenclamide. However, l-NAME + STZ-induced decreased nitrite level was significantly restored by all treatments, suggesting increased nitrergic transmission. Additionally, l-NAME + STZ-induced degeneration of pancreatic islet and myocardial cells were dramatically alleviated by losartan + metformin + glibenclamide treatments. Our findings suggest hyperglycemia with raised systolic-BP should be managed with losartan combined with both metformin and glibenclamide than single combination of losartan with antidiabetics.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) assessment and its estimation (eGFR) is a long-lasting challenge in medicine and public health. Current eGFR formulae are indexed for standardized body surface area (BSA) of 1.73 m2, ignoring persons and populations wherein the ratio of BSA or metabolic rate to nephron number might be different, due to increased BSA, increased metabolic rate or reduced nephron number. These equations are based on creatinine, cystatin C or a combination of the two, which adds another confounder to eGFR assessment. Unusually high GFR values, also known as renal hyperfiltration, have not been well defined under these equations. RECENT FINDINGS Special conditions such as solitary kidney in kidney donors, high dietary protein intake, obesity and diabetes are often associated with renal hyperfiltration and amenable to errors in GFR estimation. In all hyperfiltration types, there is an increased intraglomerular pressure that can be physiologic, but its persistence over time is detrimental to glomerulus leading to progressive glomerular damage and renal fibrosis. Hyperfiltration might be underdiagnosed due to BSA standardization embedded in the formula. Hence, timely intervention is delayed. Reducing intraglomerular pressure in diabetes can be achieved by SGLT2 inhibitors or low protein diet to reverse the glomerulopathy process. SUMMARY Accurate identification of glomerular hyperfiltration as a pre-CKD condition needs accurate estimation of GFR in the above normal range should establish a threshold for timely intervention.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The glomerular filtration rate (GFR), as the benchmark of renal function, has been widely used in clinical practice and basic medical research. Currently, most researchers still rely on endogenous markers, such as plasma creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, and cystatin C, to evaluate renal function in laboratory animals. While inexpensive and simple to use, methods based on endogenous markers are often inaccurate and susceptible to several internal physiological factors. Thus, it is necessary to establish a method to precisely assess the GFR, especially when detecting early changes in GFR during acute kidney injury, and hyperfiltration usually caused by pregnancy or diabetic nephropathy. In addition, laboratory animals have higher tolerance for invasive procedures than humans, allowing novel technologies to be applied on them for GFR monitoring. In recent years, significant progress has been made in developing new methods to assess GFR in animals. However, no publication has reviewed these techniques. SUMMARY This article summarized the majority of methods used to assess the GFR in animals in recent decades and discussed their working principles, workflows, advantages, and limitations, providing a wealth of reference and information for researchers interested in studying the kidney function in animals and developing techniques to monitor the GFR.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) fortunately has high survival rates, and understanding longer term implications of therapy is critical. In this study, we aimed to investigate kidney health outcomes by assessing the prevalence of renal dysfunction and hypertension (HTN) in children with ALL at 1-5 years after ALL diagnosis. METHODS This was a single-center, cross-sectional study of children with ALL who were 1-5 years post diagnosis. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) measurements were calculated, and urine samples were collected to assess for protein/creatinine and albumin/creatinine. Blood pressure (BP) was determined by standard oscillometric technique, and children ≥6 years of age were eligible for ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM). RESULTS Forty-five patients enrolled in the study, and 21 completed ABPMs. Fifteen patients (33%, 95% CI: 20%-49%) developed acute kidney injury (AKI) at least once. Thirteen (29%, 95% CI: 16%-44%) had hyperfiltration, and 11 (24%) had abnormal proteinuria and/or albuminuria. Prevalence of HTN based on clinic measurements was 42%. In the 21 ABPM patients, 14 had abnormal results (67%, 95% CI: 43%-85%), with the majority (11/21) demonstrating abnormal nocturnal dipping pattern. CONCLUSIONS Among children with ALL, there is a high prevalence of past AKI. The presence of hyperfiltration, proteinuria, and/or albuminuria at 1-5 years after ALL diagnosis suggests real risk of developing chronic kidney disease (CKD) over time. There is a high prevalence of HTN on casual BP readings and even higher prevalence of abnormal ABPM in this group. The high prevalence of impaired nocturnal dipping by ABPM indicates an increased risk for future cardiovascular or cerebral ischemic events.

Abstract
Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a prevalent renal complication of diabetes mellitus that ultimately develops into end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) when not managed appropriately. Substantial risk of ESKD remains even with intensive management of hyperglycemia and risk factors of DKD and timely use of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone inhibitors. Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors reduce hyperglycemia primarily by inhibiting glucose and sodium reabsorption in the renal proximal tubule. Currently, their effects expand to prevent or delay cardiovascular and renal adverse events, even in those without diabetes. In dedicated renal outcome trials, SGLT2 inhibitors significantly reduced the risk of composite renal adverse events, including the development of ESKD or renal replacement therapy, which led to the positioning of SGLT2 inhibitors as the mainstay of chronic kidney disease management. Multiple mechanisms of action of SGLT2 inhibitors, including hemodynamic, metabolic, and anti-inflammatory effects, have been proposed. Restoration of tubuloglomerular feedback is a plausible explanation for the alteration in renal hemodynamics induced by SGLT2 inhibition and for the associated renal benefit. This review discusses the clinical rationale and mechanism related to the protection SGLT2 inhibitors exert on the kidney, focusing on renal hemodynamic effects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dysregulation in glomerular hemodynamics favors hyperfiltration in diabetic kidney disease (DKD). Although carnosine supplementation ameliorates features of DKD, its effect on glomerular vasoregulation is not known. We assessed the influence of carnosine and carnosinase-1 (CN1) on afferent glomerular arteriole vasodilation and its association with glomerular size, hypertrophy and nephrin expression in diabetic BTBRob/ob mice. METHODS Two cohorts of mice including appropriate controls were studied i.e., diabetic mice receiving oral carnosine supplementation (cohort 1) and human CN1 (hCN1) transgenic (TG) diabetic mice (cohort 2). Lumen area ratio (LAR) of the afferent arterioles and glomerular parameters were measured by conventional histology. Three-dimensional analysis using a tissue clearing strategy was also employed. RESULTS In both cohorts, LAR was significantly larger in diabetic BTBRob/ob vs non-diabetic BTBRwt/ob mice (0.41±0.05 vs 0.26±0.07; p<0.0001) and (0.42±0.06 vs 0.29±0.04; p<0.0001), and associated with glomerular size (cohort 1: r =0.55, p=0.001; cohort 2: r=0.89, p<0.0001). LAR was partially normalized by oral carnosine supplementation (0.34±0.05 vs 0.41±0.05; p=0.004), but did not differ between hCN1 TG and wild type (WT) BTBRob/ob mice. In hCN1 TG mice, serum CN1 concentrations correlated with LAR (r=0.90; p=0.006). Diabetic mice displayed decreased nephrin expression and increased glomerular hypertrophy. This was not significantly different in hCN! TG BTBRob/ob mice (p=0,06 and p=0,08, respectively). CONCLUSION Carnosine and CN1 may affect intra-glomerular pressure in an opposing manner through regulation of afferent arteriolar tone. This study corroborates previous findings on the role of carnosine in the progression of DKD.

Potential Therapeutic Targets of Rehmannia Formulations on Diabetic Nephropathy: A Comparative Network Pharmacology Analysis. Front Pharmacol 2022; 13:794139. [PMID: 35387335 PMCID: PMC8977554 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2022.794139] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/01/2021] [Accepted: 02/10/2022] [Indexed: 11/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Previous retrospective cohorts showed that Rehmannia-6 (R-6, Liu-wei-di-huang-wan) formulations were associated with significant kidney function preservation and mortality reduction among chronic kidney disease patients with diabetes. This study aimed to investigate the potential mechanism of action of common R-6 variations in a clinical protocol for diabetic nephropathy (DN) from a system pharmacology approach. Study Design and Methods: Disease-related genes were retrieved from GeneCards and OMIM by searching “Diabetic Nephropathy” and “Macroalbuminuria”. Variations of R-6 were identified from a published existing clinical practice guideline developed from expert consensus and pilot clinical service program. The chemical compound IDs of each herb were retrieved from TCM-Mesh and PubChem. Drug targets were subsequently revealed via PharmaMapper and UniProtKB. The disease gene interactions were assessed through STRING, and disease–drug protein–protein interaction network was integrated and visualized by Cytoscape. Clusters of disease–drug protein–protein interaction were constructed by Molecular Complex Detection (MCODE) extension. Functional annotation of clusters was analyzed by DAVID and KEGG pathway enrichment. Differences among variations of R-6 were compared. Binding was verified by molecular docking with AutoDock. Results: Three hundred fifty-eight genes related to DN were identified, forming 11 clusters which corresponded to complement and coagulation cascades and signaling pathways of adipocytokine, TNF, HIF-1, and AMPK. Five variations of R-6 were analyzed. Common putative targets of the R-6 variations on DN included ACE, APOE, CCL2, CRP, EDN1, FN1, HGF, ICAM1, IL10, IL1B, IL6, INS, LEP, MMP9, PTGS2, SERPINE1, and TNF, which are related to regulation of nitric oxide biosynthesis, lipid storage, cellular response to lipopolysaccharide, inflammatory response, NF-kappa B transcription factor activity, smooth muscle cell proliferation, blood pressure, cellular response to interleukin-1, angiogenesis, cell proliferation, peptidyl-tyrosine phosphorylation, and protein kinase B signaling. TNF was identified as the seed for the most significant cluster of all R-6 variations. Targets specific to each formulation were identified. The key chemical compounds of R-6 have good binding ability to the putative protein targets. Conclusion: The mechanism of action of R-6 on DN is mostly related to the TNF signaling pathway as a core mechanism, involving amelioration of angiogenesis, fibrosis, inflammation, disease susceptibility, and oxidative stress. The putative targets identified could be validated through clinical trials.

Abstract
AIMS To compare levels of renal hypoxia measured by Blood Oxygen Level Dependent (BOLD) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with measured transverse relaxation rate (R2*) and renal structural changes including apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and fractional anisotropy (FA) in patients with type 1 diabetes and healthy controls. METHODS Cohort study comparing MRI metrics in type 1 diabetes (n = 32, GFR 105 (77, 120) ml/min.1.73m2) and controls (n = 10). Renal function and selected inflammatory renal biomarkers were also measured. RESULTS For BOLD, we found reduced cortical [14.7 (13.7,15.8) (1/s) vs 15.7 (15.1,16.6) (1/s), p < 0.001] and medullary [24.8 (21.8,28.2) (1/s) vs. 29.3 (24.3,32.4) (1/s), p < 0.001] R2*, indicating more oxygenated parenchyma, in type 1 diabetes vs. controls, respectively. We observed reduced cortical FA, indicating decreased structural integrity in type 1 diabetes -0.04 (-0.07, -0.01), (p = 0.02). We found reduced cortical ADC, reflecting reduced water diffusion, in non-hyperfiltering [2.40 (2.29,2.53) (103mm2/s)] versus hyperfiltering [2.61 (2.53,2.74) (103mm2/s)] type 1 diabetes patients. MRI parameters correlated with renal function and inflammatory renal biomarkers. CONCLUSIONS MRI derived indices of renal function and structure differed between (i) type 1 diabetes and healthy controls, and (ii) between non-hyperfiltering and hyperfiltering type 1 diabetes patients, providing insight into the role of hypoxia and renal structural, and functional changes in DKD.

Abstract
In the existing stages of diabetic kidney disease (DKD), the first stage of DKD is called the preclinical stage, characterized by glomerular hyperfiltration, an abnormally elevated glomerular filtration rate. Glomerular hyperfiltration is an independent risk factor for accelerated deterioration of renal function and progression of nephropathy, which is associated with a high risk for metabolic and cardiovascular disease. It is imperative to understand hyperfiltration and identify potential treatments to delay DKD progress. This paper summarizes the current mechanisms of hyperfiltration in early DKD. We pay close attention to the effect of glucose reabsorption mediated by sodium-glucose cotransporters and renal growth on hyperfiltration in DKD patients, as well as the mechanisms of nitric oxide and adenosine actions on renal afferent arterioles via tubuloglomerular feedback. Furthermore, we also focus on the contribution of the atrial natriuretic peptide, cyclooxygenase, renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, and endothelin on hyperfiltration. Proposing potential treatments based on these mechanisms may offer new therapeutic opportunities to reduce the renal burden in this population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS High glomerular filtration rate (HGFR) is associated with cardiovascular damage in the setting of various conditions such as obesity and diabetes. Prediabetes was also associated with increased GFR, however, the association between prediabetes, HGFR and cardiovascular damage has not been investigated. In this study, we investigated the association between HGFR and early markers of cardiovascular disease in subjects with prediabetes. METHODS AND RESULTS Augmentation pressure (Aug), augmentation index (AIx), subendocardial viability ratio (SEVR), pulse wave velocity (PWV), intima-media thickness (IMT) and estimated GFR (eGFR) were evaluated in 230 subjects with prediabetes. The eGFR was assessed using the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration formula. HGFR was defined as an eGFR above the 75th percentile. Prediabetic subjects were divided into two groups according to presence/absence of HGFR: 61 subjects with HGFR and 169 subjects without HGFR. Subjects with HGFR showed higher Aug, AIx and lower SEVR compared with prediabetic subjects with lower eGFR (14.1 ± 7.2 vs 10.8 ± 6.2, 32.9 ± 12.7 vs 27.6 ± 11.7, 153.5 ± 27.8 vs 162 ± 30.2, p < 0.05). No differences were found in PWV and IMT values between the two groups. Then, we performed multiple regression analysis to test the relationship between Aug, SEVR and several cardiovascular risk factors. In multiple regression analysis Aug was associated with age, systolic blood pressure (BP), HOMA-IR and eGFR; the major determinants of SEVR were systolic BP, HOMA-IR and eGFR. CONCLUSION Subjects with prediabetes and HGFR exhibited an increased Aug, AIx and a reduced SEVR. These alterations are associated with eGFR, insulin resistance and systolic BP.

Abstract
One of the most important risk factors for developing chronic kidney disease (CKD) is diabetes. To assess the safety and efficacy of potential drug candidates, reliable animal models that mimic human diseases are crucial. However, a suitable model of diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is currently not available. The aim of this study is to develop a rat model of DKD by combining streptozotocin and nicotinamide (STZ/NAD) with oral N(ω)-Nitro-L-Arginine Methyl Ester (L-NAME) administration. Diabetes was induced in male Wistar rats by intravenous injection of 65 mg/kg STZ, 15 min after intraperitoneal injection of 230 mg/kg NAD. Rats were assigned to different groups receiving L-NAME (100 mg/kg/day) (STZ/NAD/L-NAME) or vehicle (STZ/NAD) for a period of 9 or 12 weeks by daily oral gavage. All rats developed hyperglycemia. Hyperfiltration was observed at the start of the study, whereas increased serum creatinine, albumin-to-creatinine ratio, and evolving hypofiltration were detected at the end of the study. Daily L-NAME administration caused a rapid rise in blood pressure. Histopathological evaluation revealed heterogeneous renal injury patterns, which were most severe in the STZ/NAD/L-NAME rats. L-NAME-induced NO-deficiency in STZ/NAD-induced diabetic rats leads to multiple characteristic features of human DKD and may represent a novel rat model of DKD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous clinical studies have shown that various measures of glucose metabolism are associated with a risk of chronic kidney disease in different populations, but results were not consistent. In this study we assessed measures of glucose metabolism and their association with kidney function in a population-based study. METHODS The Netherlands Epidemiology of Obesity study is a population-based cohort study of middle-aged men and women. We categorized the study population according to glycaemic levels into normoglycaemia (reference group), pre-diabetes mellitus (pre-DM), known DM and newly diagnosed DM. Outcome variables were serum creatinine, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), glomerular hyperfiltration (defined as an eGFR >90th percentile; >102 mL/min/1.73 m2) and micro-albuminuria. We examined the association between measures of glucose metabolism [fasting glucose, haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), fasting insulin, glucose area under the curve (AUC), insulin AUC, Homoeostatic Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR), HOMA of β-cell function (HOMA-B) and disposition index] and measures of kidney function. RESULTS Of the total population (N = 6338), 55% of participants were classified as normoglycaemic (reference), 35% as pre-DM, 7% as DM and 4% as newly diagnosed DM. Compared with the reference group, diagnosed and newly diagnosed DMs were associated with a slightly higher trend in eGFR {+2.1 mL/min/1.73 m2 [95% confidence interval (CI) -0.2-4.4] and +2.7 mL/min/1.73 m2 [95% CI -0.3-5.7], respectively}. A 1% higher HbA1c was associated with increased odds of hyperfiltration [odds ratio (OR) 1.41 (95% CI 1.06-1.88)]. Higher levels of fasting plasma glucose, AUC glucose and HOMA-B were associated with hyperfiltration. Fasting insulin, AUC insulin and HOMA-IR were not associated with hyperfiltration. The OR of microalbuminuria was 1.21 (95% CI 1.04-1.42) per mmol/L higher fasting glucose concentrations. CONCLUSIONS Both fasting and post-prandial glucose and HOMA-B, but not measures of insulin resistance, were associated with glomerular hyperfiltration, while fasting glucose was also associated with microalbuminuria.

Abstract
Diabetic kidney disease is the leading cause of kidney failure worldwide; in the USA, it accounts for over 50% of individuals entering dialysis or transplant programmes. Unlike other complications of diabetes, the prevalence of diabetic kidney disease has failed to decline over the past 30 years. Hyperglycaemia is the primary aetiological factor responsible for the development of diabetic kidney disease. Once hyperglycaemia becomes established, multiple pathophysiological disturbances, including hypertension, altered tubuloglomerular feedback, renal hypoxia, lipotoxicity, podocyte injury, inflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, impaired autophagy and increased activity of the sodium-hydrogen exchanger, contribute to progressive glomerular sclerosis and the decline in glomerular filtration rate. The quantitative contribution of each of these abnormalities to the progression of diabetic kidney disease, as well as their role in type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus, remains to be determined. Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have a beneficial impact on many of these pathophysiological abnormalities; however, as several pathophysiological disturbances contribute to the onset and progression of diabetic kidney disease, multiple agents used in combination will likely be required to slow the progression of disease effectively.

Abstract
Diabetic kidney disease remains the leading cause of end-stage kidney disease and a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Large cardiovascular outcome trials and dedicated kidney trials have shown that sodium-glucose cotransporter (SGLT)2 inhibitors reduce cardiovascular morbidity and mortality and attenuate hard renal outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Underlying mechanisms explaining these renal benefits may be mediated by decreased glomerular hypertension, possibly by vasodilation of the post-glomerular arteriole. People with T2D often receive several different drugs, some of which could also impact the renal vasculature, and could therefore modify both renal efficacy and safety of SGLT2 inhibition. The most commonly prescribed drugs that could interact with SGLT2 inhibitors on renal haemodynamic function include renin-angiotensin system inhibitors, calcium channel blockers and diuretics. Herein, we review the effects of these drugs on renal haemodynamic function in people with T2D and focus on studies that measured glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and effective renal plasma flow (ERPF) with gold-standard techniques. In addition, we posit, based on these observations, potential interactions with SGLT2 inhibitors with an emphasis on efficacy and safety.

[PMID: 33846427 PMCID: PMC8041865 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-86955-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/30/2020] [Accepted: 03/22/2021] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Higher baseline glomerular filtration rate (GFR) may yield subsequent steeper GFR decline, especially in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). However, this correlation in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and the presence or absence of DM remains controversial. We conducted a longitudinal cohort study in a single medical center between 2011 and 2018. Participants with CKD stage 1 to 3A were enrolled and divided into DM groups and non-DM groups, and then followed up at least every 6 months. We used a linear mixed regression model with centering time variable to overcome the problem of mathematical coupling in the analysis of the relation between baseline GFR and the changes, and compared the results from correct and incorrect specifications of the mixed models. A total number of 1002 patients with 285 diabetic and 717 non-diabetic persons was identified. The linear mixed regression model revealed a significantly negative correlation between baseline GFR and subsequent GFR change rate in both diabetic group and non-diabetic group (r = - 0.44 [95% confidence interval [CI], - 0.69 to - 0.09]), but no statistical significance in non-diabetic group after within-subject mean centering of time variable (r = - 0.09 [95% CI, - 0.41 to 0.25]). Our study showed that higher baseline GFR was associated with a subsequent steeper GFR decline in the DM group but not in the non-DM group among patients with early-stage CKD. Exact model specifications should be described in detail to prevent from a spurious conclusion.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the impact of interactions between kidney stone formation and conventional risk factors on incident chronic kidney disease (CKD). METHODS A total of 11,402 subjects (men 30-69 years of age, Japanese) without CKD at baseline were observed over an average period of 4 years. Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to calculate hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) to determine the association between incident CKD, kidney stone formation, and conventional risk factors (diabetes mellitus, hypertension, overweight/obesity, dyslipidemia, and hyperuricemia/gout). We also examined the interactions of renal stones and the conventional risk factors for CKD. RESULTS In total, 2301 men (20.2%) developed incident CKD during the follow-up period. After multivariable adjustment, kidney stones were found to increase the risk of incident CKD (HR 1.16; 95% CI 1.03-1.32). Kidney stone formers with hypertension, dyslipidemia, or hyperuricemia/gout presented a greater risk for incident CKD than those who had either kidney stones or other risk factors. However, no significant interactions between kidney stones and other risk factors were found to increase CKD risk. On the other hand, a negative interactive effect between kidney stones and overweight/obesity was observed, leading to reversed risk of incident CKD in coexistence of both factors. CONCLUSION Kidney stones were linked to a higher risk for the development of CKD. However, no positive interactive effects were identified between renal stones and conventional risk factors on the risk of incident CKD.

Abstract
Introduction: GFR is estimated by using creatinine and cystatin C to determine renal
dysfunction. Our aim was to evaluate estimated GFR (eGFR) based on cystatin
C in type 2 diabetic patients with diabetic nephropathy (DN). Methods: Study group included 52 controls (46% male, age: 54.5±12.4) and 101 diabetic
patients (46.5% male, age: 58.2±11). The diabetics were divided into three
subgroups according to 24-hour urine albumin: normal to mildly increased
(A1) (n=51), moderately increased (A2) (n=25), severely increased (A3)
(n=25) albuminuria. Creatinine clearance (CrCl) was determined. Correlations
between CrCl and eGFRs estimated according to the CKD-EPI, MDRD, and
Cockcroft-Gault (CG) formulas, and ROC curves were evaluated. Data were
analyzed using SPSS 22.0. Results: Only CKD-EPI-cys eGFR was significantly lower in the A1 group than the
controls (p=0.021). All GFRs were lower in the A3 group than the control
(CKD-EPI-cr, MDRD, CKD-EPI-cys, CKD-EPI-cr-cys: p=0.0001, CG and CrCl:
p=0.001) and A1 (for all GFRs p=0.0001) groups. CKD-EPI-cr (p=0.004), MDRD
(p=0.01), CG (p=0.037), CKD-EPI-cys (p=0.033), and CKD-EPI-cr-cys (p=0.016)
eGFRs in the A2 group were significantly different from the A1 group. All
eGFRs showed a moderate correlation with CrCl in the A1group (CKD-EPI-cr and
CKD-EPI-cr-cys: r=0.49, p=0.0001, MDRD: r=0.44, p=0.001, CG r=0.48,
p=0.0001: CKD-EPI-cys r=0.40, p=0.004). The area under the CKD-EPI-cys ROC
curve was the highest and found to be 0.847 (95%CI 0.763-0.931,
p=0.0001). Conclusions: Our results showed that the CKD-EPI-cys eGFR can be useful in detecting the
early stage of DN and more predictive than the others for prediction of
DN.

Abstract
Background Susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI) could reflect tissue blood oxygen levels, and then whether it could be used to evaluate renal injury remains to be further studied. This study aimed to examine the performance of SWI parameters and SWI-based texture features in evaluating renal dysfunction of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods Forty-five patients with T2DM were included. With the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), the patients were divided into non-moderate-severe renal injured group (non-msRI, eGFR >60 mL/min/1.73 m2) and moderate-severe renal injured group (msRI, eGFR ≤60 mL/min/1.73 m2). The 3 SWI parameters and 16 SWI-based texture features between non-msRI and msRI were compared. The correlation between the parameters and BUN, Scr was analyzed. Results The signal intensity ratio of the medulla to psoas muscle (MPswi) was significantly lower than the signal intensity ratio of the cortex to psoas muscle (CPswi) in non-msRI and msRI group (t=8.619, 3.483, respectively, P<0.05). MPswi was higher, and the signal intensity ratio of the cortex to the medulla (CMswi), Skewness, Correlation were lower in msRI than in non-msRI (P<0.05). These parameters showed similar diagnostic efficacies for msRI (P>0.05), and AUCs were 0.703–0.854. CMswi was an independent protective factor for msRI (OR =0.026, P=0.003). MPswi and CMswi were correlated with BUN (r=0.416, −0.545, P<0.05). CMswi and Correlation were correlated with Scr (r=−0.645, −0.411, P<0.05). Conclusions SWI was valuable for assessing renal dysfunction, which may be helpful for the evaluation of moderate-severe renal injured patients with T2DM.

Abstract
Growing scientific evidence from studies on type 2 diabetes (T2D) has recently led to a better understanding of the associated metabolic-cardio-renal risks. The large amount of available information makes it essential to have a practical guide that summarizes the recommendations for the initial management of patients with T2D, integrating different aspects of endocrinology, cardiology, and nephrology. The expert consensus presented here does not attempt to summarize all the evidence in this regard but rather attempts to define practical summary recommendations for the primary care physician to improve the clinical prognosis and management of patients with T2D, while ensuring economic sustainability of health systems, beyond glycemic control.

Circulating microRNA-194 levels in Chinese patients with diabetic kidney disease: a case-control study. Ther Adv Endocrinol Metab 2021; 12:20420188211049615. [PMID: 34676065 PMCID: PMC8524709 DOI: 10.1177/20420188211049615] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/30/2021] [Accepted: 09/12/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE MicroRNAs (miRNAs) regulate gene expression and are involved in diabetic kidney disease (DKD) pathogenesis. We investigated circulating miRNA-194 levels as a biomarker of DKD prevalence and incidence, and the relationship between miRNA-194 and CCAAT/enhancer binding protein (C/EBP) homologous protein (CHOP). METHODS We recruited 136 type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients at the First People's Hospital of Lianyungang and 127 healthy individuals. Circulating miRNA-194 and CHOP levels were measured using quantitative reverse transcription qRT-PCR and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), respectively. Anthropometric and biochemistry measurements were also made. RESULTS T2DM patients showed higher circulating miRNA-194 (p = 0.029) and lower circulating CHOP (p < 0.001) levels than controls. Circulating miRNA-194 levels were significantly higher in T2DM patients with a microalbumin/creatinine ratio (UmALB/Cr) ⩾ 300 mg/g (p < 0.001). In addition, there were significant intergroup differences in the circulating CHOP concentrations (p = 0.005). Bivariate analysis revealed that circulating miR-194 levels were negatively correlated with alpha-fetoprotein and CHOP levels (r = -0.222, -0.301; p = 0.018, 0.001, respectively), but positively correlated with fasting glucose, UmALB/Cr, Cr, Cystatin C, quantitative insulin check index (QUICKI) (r = 0.193, 0.446, 0.260, 0.339, and 0.250, respectively; p = 0.036, <0.001, 0.005, <0.001, and 0.006, respectively), particularly UmALB/Cr and Cystatin C (p < 0.001). Logistic regression analysis after adjusting for covariates associated with UmALB/Cr identified duration of T2DM, systolic blood pressure, Cr, estimated glomerular filtration rate, and waist circumference as independent factors associated with T2DM patients with UmALB/Cr > 300 (p = 0.030, 0.013, <0.001, <0.001, and 0.031, respectively). CONCLUSION Circulating miRNA-194 levels could be a novel biomarker for DKD.

Abstract
Diabetes-related complications are a significant source of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Diabetic kidney disease is a frequent microvascular complication and a primary cause of kidney failure in patients with diabetes. The glomerular filtration barrier is composed of 3 layers: the endothelium, glomerular basement membrane, and podocytes. Podocytes and the endothelium communicate through molecular crosstalk to maintain filtration at the glomerular filtration barrier. Chronic hyperglycemia affects all 3 layers of the glomerular filtration barrier, as well as the molecular crosstalk that occurs between the 2 cellular layers. One of the earliest events following chronic hyperglycemia is endothelial cell dysfunction. Early endothelial damage is associated with progression of diabetic kidney disease. However, current therapies are based in controlling glycemia and arterial blood pressure without targeting endothelial dysfunction. Disruption of the endothelial cell layer also alters the molecular crosstalk that occurs between the endothelium and podocytes. This review discusses both the physiologic and pathologic communication that occurs at the glomerular filtration barrier. It examines how these signaling components contribute to podocyte foot effacement, podocyte detachment, and the progression of diabetic kidney disease.

Abstract
Ertugliflozin is a selective sodium‐glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor approved as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). A population pharmacokinetic (popPK) model was developed to characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) of ertugliflozin and quantify the influence of intrinsic (eg, body weight, age, sex, race, estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR], T2DM) and extrinsic (eg, food) covariates on the PK parameters of ertugliflozin. The analysis was conducted using data from 15 clinical studies (phases 1‐3) enrolling healthy subjects and patients with T2DM, which included 13,691 PK observations from 2276 subjects and was performed using nonlinear mixed‐effects modeling. A 2‐compartment popPK model with first‐order absorption and a lag time and first‐order elimination, described the plasma concentration–time profile of ertugliflozin after single and multiple dosing in healthy subjects and in patients with T2DM. Apparent clearance increased with increasing body weight and eGFR, was slightly lower in patients with T2DM and females, and was slightly higher in Asians. Apparent central volume of distribution increased with increasing body weight and was higher in females and Asians. Administration of ertugliflozin with food decreased the absorption rate constant (ka) and relative bioavailability (F1) compared with fasted. When ertugliflozin was administered without regard to food, estimates of ka and F1 were similar to those for administration with food. The popPK model successfully characterized ertugliflozin exposure in healthy subjects and patients with T2DM. None of the covariates evaluated had a clinically relevant effect on ertugliflozin PK.

A higher level of serum furin indicates a higher risk of microalbuminuria: results from a longitudinal study in Chinese adults. Clin Exp Nephrol 2020; 24:885-892.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Furin, a key enzyme of natriuretic peptide system, has been suggested to play a role in microalbuminuria, but the association between furin and microalbuminuria has been scarcely studied. METHODS Leveraging a longitudinal cohort of Chinese adults who had urinary albumin measured twice 4 years apart, we examined the cross-sectional and prospective associations of baseline serum furin with microalbuminuria, adjusting for age, sex, education level, smoking, drinking, obesity, blood pressure, glucose, lipids, and antihypertensive medications. RESULTS The cross-sectional analysis in 2175 participants (53 ± 10 years, 38% men) found that a 10-time higher level of serum furin was significantly associated with a 64% higher risk of having microalbuminuria (OR = 1.64, P = 0.005). The longitudinal analysis found a positive association between baseline serum furin and dynamic elevation of albumin excretion during follow-up. The prospective analysis in 1357 participants free of microalbuminuria at baseline found that a 10-time higher level of serum furin at baseline was significantly associated with a 1.28-time higher risk of developing microalbuminuria 4 years later (OR = 2.28, P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS A higher level of serum furin at baseline predicted an increased risk of developing microalbuminuria in Chinese adults. These findings indicate that furin might be a predictor or a risk factor for microalbuminuria but the causality still needs more investigations.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In addition to favoring renal disease progression, renal 'hyperfiltration' has been associated with an increased risk of death, though it is unclear whether and how excess mortality is related to increased renal function. We investigated whether renal hyperfiltration is an independent predictor of death in patients with type 2 diabetes from the Renal Insufficiency And Cardiovascular Events Italian multicenter study. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS This observational, prospective cohort study enrolled 15 773 patients with type 2 diabetes consecutively attending 19 Italian diabetes clinics in 2006-2008. Serum creatinine, albuminuria, cardiovascular risk factors, and complications/comorbidities were assessed at baseline. Vital status on 31 October 2015 was retrieved for 15 656 patients (99.26%). Patients were stratified (A) by absolute estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) values in eGFR deciles or Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) categories and (B) based on age-corrected thresholds or age and gender-specific 95th and 5th percentiles in hyperfiltration, hypofiltration, and normofiltration groups. RESULTS The highest eGFR decile/category and the hyperfiltration group included (partly) different individuals with similar clinical features. Age and gender-adjusted death rates were significantly higher in deciles 1, 9, and 10 (≥103.9, 50.9-62.7, and <50.9 mL/min/1.73 m2, respectively) versus the reference decile 3 (92.9-97.5 mL/min/1.73 m2). Mortality risk, adjusted for multiple confounders, was also increased in deciles 1 (HR 1.461 (95% CI 1.175 to 1.818), p=0.001), 9 (1.312 (95% CI 1.107 to 1.555), p=0.002), and 10 (1.976 (95% CI 1.673 to 2.333), p<0.0001) versus decile 3. Similar results were obtained by stratifying patients by KDIGO categories. Death rates and adjusted mortality risks were significantly higher in hyperfiltering and particularly hypofiltering versus normofiltering individuals. CONCLUSIONS In type 2 diabetes, both high-normal eGFR and hyperfiltration are associated with an increased risk of death from any cause, independent of confounders that may directly impact on mortality and/or affect GFR estimation. Further studies are required to clarify the nature of this relationship. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT00715481.

Abstract
Background Housing insecurity is characterized by high housing costs or unsafe living conditions that prevent self-care and threaten independence. We examined the relationship of housing insecurity and risk of kidney disease. Methods We used longitudinal data from the Healthy Aging in Neighborhoods of Diversity across the Life Span study (Baltimore, MD). We used multivariable regression to quantify associations between housing insecurity and rapid kidney function decline (loss of >5 ml/min per 1.73 m2 of eGFR per year) and, among those without kidney disease at baseline, incident reduced kidney function (eGFR <60 ml/min per 1.73 m2) and incident albuminuria (urine albumin-creatinine ratio [ACR] ≥30 mg/g). Results Among 1262 participants, mean age was 52 years, 40% were male and 57% were black. A total of 405 (32%) reported housing insecurity. After a median of 3.5 years of follow-up, rapid kidney function decline, incident reduced kidney function, and incident albuminuria occurred in 199 (16%), 64 (5%), and 74 (7%) participants, respectively. Housing insecurity was associated with increased odds of incident albuminuria (unadjusted OR, 2.04; 95% CI, 1.29 to 3.29; adjusted OR, 3.23; 95% CI, 1.90 to 5.50) but not rapid kidney function decline or incident reduced kidney function. Conclusions In this urban population, housing insecurity was associated with increased risk of subsequent albuminuria. Increased recognition of housing insecurity as a social determinant of kidney disease is needed, and risk-reduction efforts that specifically target populations experiencing housing insecurity should be considered.

Abstract
Background: To apply and evaluate various equations for estimated glomerular filtration rates (eGFR) in a large paediatric type 1 diabetes population and compare the eGFR values with urinary creatinine clearances (UCC) in a subset of patients. Methods: Six eGFR formulae applicable for children and adolescents were used for calculation of eGFR values in 36,782 children/adolescents with type 1 diabetes. Via regression models, factors influencing eGFR values were identified. eGFR values were compared with measured UCC in 549 patients. Spearman correlation coefficients were given to assess the relation of eGFR and UCC values. Bland-Altman-Plots with corresponding linear regression were drawn to evaluate the agreement between eGFR and UCC. Results: eGFR values differed widely depending on the formula used, resulting in a percentage of pathological values <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 up to 8%. Regression models showed age, sex, and duration of diabetes as influencing factors. Microalbuminuria was associated with significantly higher eGFR values for all formulae. In comparison of eGFR with UCC, the highest correlation coefficient was 0.33, the lowest 0.01. Bland-Altman-Plots demonstrated graphically a poor agreement between eGFR and UCC, regardless of the formula used. Conclusions: The broad range of eGFR values indicate that an ideal eGFR formula for children and adolescence with T1D is yet missing. The minimal agreement between measured UCC and eGFR values urges us to be careful in application and interpretation of eGFR values regardless of the formula used.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) is a major problem of public health. Currently, many of these patients experience progression of cardiovascular and renal disease, even when receiving optimal treatment. In previous years, several new drug classes for the treatment of type 2 DM have emerged, including inhibitors of renal sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT-2) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists. Apart from reducing glycaemia, these classes were reported to have other beneficial effects for the cardiovascular and renal systems, such as weight loss and blood pressure reduction. Most importantly, in contrast to all previous studies with anti-diabetic agents, a series of recent randomized, placebo-controlled outcome trials showed that SGLT-2 inhibitors and GLP-1 receptor agonists are able to reduce cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality, as well as progression of renal disease, in patients with type 2 DM. This document presents in detail the available evidence on the cardioprotective and nephroprotective effects of SGLT-2 inhibitors and GLP-1 analogues, analyses the potential mechanisms involved in these actions and discusses their place in the treatment of patients with CKD and DM.

Abstract
Due to its capability for high-throughput screening 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is commonly used for metabolite research. The key problem in 1H NMR spectroscopy of multicomponent mixtures is overlapping of component signals and that is increasing with the number of components, their complexity and structural similarity. It makes metabolic profiling, that is carried out through matching acquired spectra with metabolites from the library, a hard problem. Here, we propose a method for nonlinear blind separation of highly correlated components spectra from a single 1H NMR mixture spectra. The method transforms a single nonlinear mixture into multiple high-dimensional reproducible kernel Hilbert Spaces (mRKHSs). Therein, highly correlated components are separated by sparseness constrained nonnegative matrix factorization in each induced RKHS. Afterwards, metabolites are identified through comparison of separated components with the library comprised of 160 pure components. Thereby, a significant number of them are expected to be related with diabetes type 2. Conceptually similar methodology for nonlinear blind separation of correlated components from two or more mixtures is presented in the Supplementary material. Single-mixture blind source separation is exemplified on: (i) annotation of five components spectra separated from one 1H NMR model mixture spectra; (ii) annotation of fifty five metabolites separated from one 1H NMR mixture spectra of urine of subjects with and without diabetes type 2. Arguably, it is for the first time a method for blind separation of a large number of components from a single nonlinear mixture has been proposed. Moreover, the proposed method pinpoints urinary creatine, glutamic acid and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid as the most prominent metabolites in samples from subjects with diabetes type 2, when compared to healthy controls.

Abstract
Renal hyperfiltration, defined as an increased glomerular filtration rate above normal values, is associated with early phases of kidney disease in the setting of various conditions such as obesity and diabetes. Although it is recognized that glomerular hyperfiltration, that is, increased filtration per nephron unit (usually studied at low glomerular filtration levels and often referred to as single nephron hyperfiltration), is a risk factor for the progression of chronic kidney disease, the implications of having renal hyperfiltration for cardiovascular disease and mortality risk are incompletely understood. Recent evidence from diverse populations, including healthy individuals and patients with diabetes or established cardiovascular disease, suggests that renal hyperfiltration is associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality. In this review, we critically summarize the existing studies, discuss possible mechanisms, and describe the remaining gaps in our knowledge regarding the association of renal hyperfiltration with cardiovascular disease and mortality risk.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The validity of pediatric estimated glomerular filtration rate equations (eGFRs) in early stages of CKD including hyperfiltration is unknown. The purpose of this study was to develop an eGFR equation for adolescents with obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D). METHODS eGFRs were developed from iohexol-derived GFRs (iGFRs) in 26 overweight/obese (BMI > 85th percentile) youth and 100 with T2D from the iCARE (Improving renal Complications in Adolescents with T2D through REsearch) cohort. Twenty percent of the cohort was withheld as a validation dataset. Linear regression analyses were used to develop the best formula based on body size, sex, creatinine, urea, ± cystatin C. Comparable validity of commonly used eGFR equations was assessed. RESULTS Mean age 15.4 + 2.4 years, BMI Z-score 2.5 + 1.2, 61% female, and mean iGFR 129.0 + 27.7 ml/min/ 1.73 m2. The best adjusted eGFR formula (ml/min/1.73 m2) was 50.7 × BSA0.816 × (height (cm)/creatinine)0.405 × 0.8994 if sex = female | 1 otherwise. It resulted in 53.8% of eGFRs within 10% of measured iGFR and 96.2% within 30%. Bland-Altman 95% limits of agreement in the external dataset were - 37.6 to 45.5 ml/min/1.73m2 (bias = 3.96), and the correlation was 0.62. This equation performed better than all previously published creatinine-based eGFRs. cystatin C did not significantly improve results; however, some other cystatin C formulas also performed well. CONCLUSIONS The iCARE equation provides a more accurate creatinine-based eGFR in obese youth with and without T2D. Further studies are warranted to evaluate within-subject variability and applicability to lower GFRs and other populations.

Abstract
Genetic factors influence susceptibility to diabetic kidney disease. Here we mapped genes mediating renal hypertrophic changes in response to diabetes. A survey of 15 mouse strains identified variation in diabetic kidney hypertrophy. Strains with greater (FVB/N(FVB)) and lesser (C57BL/6 (B6)) responses were crossed and diabetic F2 progeny were characterized. Kidney weights of diabetic F2 mice were broadly distributed. Quantitative trait locus analyses revealed diabetic mice with kidney weights in the upper quartile shared alleles on chromosomes (chr) 6 and 12; these loci were designated as Diabetic kidney hypertrophy (Dkh)-1 and -2. To confirm these loci, reciprocal congenic mice were generated with defined FVB chromosome segments on the B6 strain background (B6.Dkh1/2f) or vice versa (FVB.Dkh1/2b). Diabetic mice of the B6.Dkh1/2f congenic strain developed diabetic kidney hypertrophy, while the reciprocal FVB.Dkh1/2b congenic strain was protected. The chr6 locus contained the candidate gene; Ark1b3, coding aldose reductase; the FVB allele has a missense mutation in this gene. Microarray analysis identified differentially expressed genes between diabetic B6 and FVB mice. Thus, since the two loci identified by quantitative trait locus mapping are syntenic with regions identified for human diabetic kidney disease, the congenic strains we describe provide a valuable new resource to study diabetic kidney disease and test agents that may prevent it.

[PMID: 31123181 PMCID: PMC6556717 DOI: 10.2215/cjn.14831218] [Citation(s) in RCA: 31] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/18/2018] [Accepted: 03/24/2019] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Glomerular hyperfiltration has been considered to be a contributing factor to the development of diabetic kidney disease (DKD). To address this issue, we analyzed GFR follow-up data on participants with type 1 diabetes undergoing 125I-iothalamate clearance on entry into the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT)/Epidemiology of Diabetes Interventions and Complications study. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS This was a cohort study of DCCT participants with type 1 diabetes who underwent an 125I-iothalamate clearance (iGFR) at DCCT baseline. Presence of hyperfiltration was defined as iGFR levels ≥140 ml/min per 1.73 m2, with secondary thresholds of 130 or 150 ml/min per 1.73 m2. Cox proportional hazards models assessed the association between the baseline hyperfiltration status and the subsequent risk of reaching an eGFR <60 ml/min per 1.73 m2. RESULTS Of the 446 participants, 106 (24%) had hyperfiltration (iGFR levels ≥140 ml/min per 1.73 m2) at baseline. Over a median follow-up of 28 (interquartile range, 23, 33) years, 53 developed an eGFR <60 ml/min per 1.73 m2. The cumulative incidence of eGFR <60 ml/min per 1.73 m2 at 28 years of follow-up was 11.0% among participants with hyperfiltration at baseline, compared with 12.8% among participants with baseline GFR <140 ml/min per 1.73 m2. Hyperfiltration was not significantly associated with subsequent risk of developing an eGFR <60 ml/min per 1.73 m2 in an unadjusted Cox proportional hazards model (hazard ratio, 0.83; 95% confidence interval, 0.43 to 1.62) nor in an adjusted model (hazard ratio, 0.77; 95% confidence interval, 0.38 to 1.54). Application of alternate thresholds to define hyperfiltration (130 or 150 ml/min per 1.73 m2) showed similar findings. CONCLUSIONS Early hyperfiltration in patients with type 1 diabetes was not associated with a higher long-term risk of decreased GFR. Although glomerular hypertension may be a mechanism of kidney injury in DKD, higher total GFR does not appear to be a risk factor for advanced DKD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Glomerular hyperfiltration is not able to be detected in clinical practice. We assessed whether hyperfiltration is associated with albuminuria progression among Indigenous Australians at high risk of diabetes and kidney disease to determine its role in kidney disease progression. METHODS Longitudinal observational study of Indigenous Australians aged ≥18 years recruited from >20 sites, across diabetes and/or kidney function strata. At baseline, iohexol clearance was used to measure glomerular filtration rate (mGFR) and hyperfiltration was defined as (i) a mGFR of ≥125 mL/min/1.73 m2, and (ii) an age-adjusted definition, with the top 10% of the mGFR for each 10 year age group at baseline. Baseline and follow-up urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (uACR) was collected, and linear regression was used to assess the associations of hyperfiltration and uACR at follow up. RESULTS 407 individuals (33% men, mean age 47 years) were followed-up for a median of 3 years. At baseline, 234 had normoalbuminuria and 173 had albuminuria. Among participants with normoalbuminuria, those with mGFR ≥125 mL/min/1.73 m2 had 32% higher uACR at follow-up (p = 0.08), and those with age-adjusted hyperfiltration had 60% higher uACR (p = 0.037) compared to those who had normofiltration. These associations were independent of uACR at baseline, but attenuated by HbA1c. Associations were stronger among those without than those with albuminuria at baseline. CONCLUSIONS Although not available for assessment in current clinical practice, hyperfiltration may represent a marker of subsequent albuminuria progression among individuals who have not yet developed albuminuria.

Abstract
Use of sodium glucose cotransporter (SGLT) inhibitors are a well-established therapeutic option in type 2 diabetes (T2D) with a variety of proven therapeutic benefits. They have become a pillar of current treatment guidelines. In type 1 diabetes (T1D), initial exploratory studies have shown benefits in glycemic control, weight control, and cardiovascular risk parameters, leading to trials aiming for regulatory submission with several agents. Results from four 1-year trials, which included a total of 3052 patients, are now available, demonstrating promising findings that target the unmet needs of patients with T1D with a novel insulin-independent adjunct therapy. However, these positive effects must be balanced against the risks associated with this class of drugs. Specifically, current T1D studies have shown an increased risk of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), which, in some cases, presented with only slightly elevated glucose levels. While this complication may be clinically manageable once detected, the metabolic shift towards ketogenesis associated with this class of agents mandates appropriate patient selection. Currently, there are no validated tools for DKA risk assessment. Although the experience gained in studies and off-label use provides some indication for appropriate patient selection, this would have to be evaluated closely in the event that these drugs would receive regulatory approval. Risk mitigation includes training in ketone measurement (preferably as blood β-hydroxybutyrate testing), teaching the concept of euglycemic DKA, and providing a clear treatment algorithm to avoid progression of ketosis to full-blown DKA. Because similar unmet needs also exist in pediatric population studies, risk mitigation in youth should be initiated as well to allow an evidence-based, risk-benefit assessment in this vulnerable population.

Abstract
Type 1 diabetes mellitus is a difficult disease to treat due to the relative paucity of therapeutic options other than injectable insulin. The latter, however, can induce hypoglycemia, which has been linked to enhanced cardiovascular risk. Sodium glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are a new class of oral anti-hyperglycemic medications that do not increase the hypoglycemia risk and are US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved in type 2 diabetes mellitus. SGLT2 inhibitors may also be of benefit in type 1 diabetic patients, in addition to insulin, although they have not yet been approved for this indication. By blocking SGLT2 in the early proximal tubules of the kidney, these drugs decrease renal glucose retention, which is enhanced in hyperglycemia, thereby improving blood glucose control, in type 1 and type 2 diabetic patents. Their low hypoglycemia risk is due to the compensating reabsorption capacity of another glucose transporter, SGLT1, in the downstream late proximal tubule and the body's metabolic counter-regulation, which remains intact during SGLT2 inhibition. When insulin dosage is lowered too much, SGLT2 inhibitors can enhance ketogenesis to the extent that the risk of diabetic ketoacidosis increases, particularly in type 1 diabetic patients. SGLT2 inhibitors improve the renal and cardiovascular outcome in type 2 diabetic patients. The mechanisms likely include a reduction in glomerular hyperfiltration, blood pressure, volume overload, and body weight, as well as lowering blood glucose without increasing the hypoglycemia risk. The same mechanistic effects are induced in type 1 diabetic patients. More studies are needed with SGLT2 inhibitors in type 1 diabetic patients, including renal and cardiovascular clinical outcome trials, to fully evaluate their therapeutic potential in this specific population.

Abstract
The associations between arginine-based metabolites and incident type 2 diabetes (T2D) are unknown. We employed a case-cohort design, nested within the PREDIMED trial, to examine six plasma metabolites (arginine, citrulline, ornithine, asymmetric dimethylarginine [ADMA], symmetric dimethylarginine [SDMA] and N-monomethyl-l-arginine [NMMA]) among 892 individuals (251 cases) for associations with incident T2D and insulin resistance. Weighted Cox models with robust variance were used. The 1-year changes in arginine (adjusted hazard ratio [HR] per SD 0.68, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.49, 0.95; Q4 vs. Q1 0.46, 95% CI 0.21, 1.04; P trend = 0.02) and arginine/ADMA ratio (adjusted HR per SD 0.73, 95% CI 0.51, 1.04; Q4 vs. Q1 0.52, 95% CI 0.22, 1.25; P trend = 0.04) were associated with a lower risk of T2D. Positive changes of citrulline and ornithine, and negative changes in SDMA and arginine/(ornithine + citrulline) were associated with concurrent 1-year changes in homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance. Individuals in the low-fat-diet group had a higher risk of T2D for 1-year changes in NMMA than individuals in Mediterranean-diet groups (P interaction = 0.02). We conclude that arginine bioavailability is important in T2D pathophysiology.

Correlation Between Baseline GFR and Subsequent Change in GFR in Norwegian Adults Without Diabetes and in Pima Indians. Am J Kidney Dis 2019; 73:777-785.

Abstract
RATIONALE & OBJECTIVE An elevated glomerular filtration rate (GFR), or renal hyperfiltration, may predispose individuals to subsequent rapid GFR decline in diabetes, obesity, and metabolic syndrome. Although this hypothesis is supported by results of experimental studies, the importance of hyperfiltration at the population level remains controversial. We investigated whether higher baseline GFR predicts a steeper decline in GFR. STUDY DESIGN Longitudinal cohort studies. SETTING & PARTICIPANTS 1,594 middle-aged Norwegians without diabetes (the Renal Iohexol Clearance Survey [RENIS]) and 319 Pima Indians (83% with type 2 diabetes). PREDICTOR Baseline measured GFR using exogenous clearance methods. OUTCOMES Change in measured GFR over time. ANALYTICAL APPROACH Linear mixed regression models fit to assess the correlation between the random intercept (reflecting baseline GFR) and random slope (change in GFR over time). RESULTS Mean baseline GFRs were 104.0 ± 20.1 (SD) and 149.4 ± 43.3 mL/min, and median follow-up durations were 5.6 (IQR, 5.2-6.0) and 9.1 (IQR, 4.0-15.0) years in the RENIS and Pima cohorts, respectively. Correlation between baseline GFR (random intercept) and slope of GFR decline was -0.31 (95% CI, -0.40 to -0.23) in the RENIS cohort and -0.41 (95% CI, -0.55 to -0.26) in the Pima cohort, adjusted for age, sex, height, and weight, suggesting that higher baseline GFRs were associated with steeper GFR decline rates. LIMITATIONS Different methods for measuring GFR in the 2 cohorts. Renal hyperfiltration may not reflect higher single-nephron GFR. GFR decline is assumed to be linear, which may not match the actual pattern; observed correlations may arise from natural variation. CONCLUSIONS Higher baseline GFR is associated with faster decline in GFR over time. If this relationship were causal, elevated GFR would represent a potentially modifiable risk factor for medium- to long-term GFR decline.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Little is known about the relationships between insulin resistance, intrarenal hemodynamics, and urinary albumin excretion (UAE) in humans with impaired fasting glucose (IFG) and/or impaired glucose tolerance (IGT). The aim of the current study was to examine intrarenal hemodynamic abnormalities, insulin resistance, and UAE in subjects with IFG or IGT. We hypothesized that intrarenal hemodynamic abnormalities would be associated with insulin resistance. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Fifty-four kidney donors underwent 75-g oral glucose tolerance and inulin and para-aminohippuric acid clearance testing. Insulin sensitivity index (ISI) was evaluated by the Matsuda index. Intrarenal hemodynamic parameters were calculated by the Gomez formulae. RESULTS Of the 54 subjects, 33 exhibited IFG or IGT and 31 exhibited normal glucose tolerance (NGT). Glomerular hydrostatic pressure (Pglo) and UAE were significantly higher in the IFG or IGT subjects with obesity (P = 0.015 and 0.0001, respectively). Log ISI correlated significantly and negatively with Pglo (r = -0.351, P = 0.009) in all subjects. In multiple regression analyses among all subjects, log ISI was associated significantly and independently with Pglo (β = -0.316, P = 0.015), after adjustment for age, sex, and systolic blood pressure. Further, BMI (β = 0.517, P = 0.0004), Pglo (β = 0.420, P = 0.004), and log ISI (β = -0.366, P = 0.008) were each associated significantly and independently with UAE after adjustment. CONCLUSIONS We demonstrated that increased insulin resistance is associated with increased Pglo and UAE in IFG or IGT subjects. These hemodynamic burdens and insulin resistance may cause injury to the glomeruli even in subjects with IFG or IGT.

Abstract
AIM Glomerular hyperfiltration usually occurs early in development of kidney complications in diabetes. To understand hyperfiltration as a marker of renal disease progression in type 2 diabetes mellitus, we aimed to examine association between glomerular hyperfiltration (estimated glomerular filtration rate ⩾ 120 mL/min/1.73 m2) and rapid renal decline (annual estimated glomerular filtration rate loss ⩾ 3 mL/min/1.73 m2). METHODS This was a prospective cohort comprising 1014 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus attending a Diabetes Centre of a regional hospital in 2002-2014. A separate prospective cohort, comprising 491 patients who attended Diabetes Centre or primary-care polyclinics, was used for validation. We performed binary mediation analysis to examine role of hyperfiltration on relationship between baseline haemoglobin A1c and rapid renal decline. RESULTS Among patients in discovery cohort, 5.2% had baseline hyperfiltration. Over mean follow-up of 6 years, 22.9% had rapid glomerular filtration rate decline. Baseline hyperfiltration was significantly associated with greater odds of rapid renal decline after adjusting for demographics, diabetes duration and clinical covariates (odds ratio: 2.57; 95% confidence interval: 1.21-5.46; p = 0.014). Similar finding was found in validation cohort (odds ratio: 2.98; 95% confidence interval: 1.06-8.42; p = 0.034). Hyperfiltration significantly accounted for 35.3% of association between increasing baseline haemoglobin A1c and rapid renal decline. CONCLUSION Glomerular hyperfiltration is an independent risk factor of rapid renal decline. It mediates the association between increasing haemoglobin A1c and rapid renal decline.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Lipodystrophy syndromes are a group of heterogeneous disorders characterized by adipose tissue loss. Proteinuria is a remarkable finding in previous reports. STUDY DESIGN In this multicentre study, prospective follow-up data were collected from 103 subjects with non-HIV-associated lipodystrophy registered in the Turkish Lipodystrophy Study Group database to study renal complications in treatment naïve patients with lipodystrophy. METHODS Main outcome measures included ascertainment of chronic kidney disease (CKD) by studying the level of proteinuria and the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). Kidney volume was measured. Percutaneous renal biopsies were performed in 9 patients. RESULTS Seventeen of 37 patients with generalized and 29 of 66 patients with partial lipodystrophy had CKD characterized by proteinuria, of those 12 progressed to renal failure subsequently. The onset of renal complications was significantly earlier in patients with generalized lipodystrophy. Patients with CKD were older and more insulin resistant and had worse metabolic control. Increased kidney volume was associated with poor metabolic control and suppressed leptin levels. Renal biopsies revealed thickening of glomerular basal membranes, mesangial matrix abnormalities, podocyte injury, focal segmental sclerosis, ischaemic changes and tubular abnormalities at various levels. Lipid vacuoles were visualized in electron microscopy images. CONCLUSIONS CKD is conspicuously frequent in patients with lipodystrophy which has an early onset. Renal involvement appears multifactorial. While poorly controlled diabetes caused by severe insulin resistance may drive the disease in some cases, inherent underlying genetic defects may also lead to cell autonomous mechanisms contributory to the pathogenesis of kidney disease.

Abstract
To elucidate the association between renal hyperfiltration (RHF) and incident proteinuria, the data from 11,559,520 Korean adults who had undergone health screenings ≥ 3 times between 2009 and 2014 and had glomerular filtration rate (GFR) ≥60 mL/min/1.73m2 and negative dipstick test for proteinuria at baseline, were retrospectively analyzed. GFR was estimated with the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration equation based on serum creatinine, and RHF was defined as GFR >95th percentile adjusted for sex, age, body size, and diabetes and/or hypertension medication. The adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) of incident proteinuria in the RHF was 1.083 (95% CI, 1.069~1.097) compared to that of the non-RHF with Cox regression model. The association between RHF and incident proteinuria was not only in diabetic but also in non-diabetic subjects. This association was not observed in women (p for interaction <0.001). A reverse J-shaped association was found between the adjusted GFR slope and aHR of incident proteinuria. Both lower and higher GFR were associated with incident proteinuria in men. In conclusion, RHF was associated with incident proteinuria in men. Clinical studies are necessary to study whether the alleviation of RHF can prevent incident proteinuria.
