Abstract
High cost, inherent destabilization, and intricate fixing of enzyme molecules are the main drawbacks of enzyme-based creatinine sensors. The design of a low-cost, stabilizable, and enzyme-free creatinine sensing probe is essential to address these limitations. In this work, an integrated three-dimensional (3D) free-standing electrode was designed to serve as a non-enzymatic creatinine sensing platform and was fabricated by rapid electrodeposition of a dense copper nanoparticle film on nickel foam (Cu NP film/NF). This low-cost, stable, easy-to-fabricate, and binder-free Cu NP film/NF electrode has abundant active sites and excellent electrochemical performance. Cyclic voltammetry measurements show a wide linear range (0.25-24 mM), low detection limit (0.17 mM), and high sensitivity (306 μA mM-1 cm-2). The developed sensor shows high recovery of creatinine concentration in real urine. Besides, it has better specificity, reproducibility, and robustness in detecting creatinine. These excellent results suggest that a non-enzymatic creatinine sensor based on an integrated 3D free-standing Cu NP film/NF electrode has good potential for non-invasive detection of urinary creatinine.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to evaluate the postoperative and intermediate outcomes of thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). METHODS We retrospectively reviewed patients with type B aortic dissection (TBAD) undergoing TEVAR at our single center from January 2010 to December 2020. Patients with pre-existing ESRD were enrolled as the study group. One hundred consecutive patients from September 2013 to March 2015 without ESRD were included as the control group. The primary and secondary outcomes were adverse events and survival, respectively. Kaplan-Meier curves of survival and freedom from adverse events were calculated and analyzed using the log-rank univariate test. Multivariable analysis was used to isolate the effects of ESRD. RESULTS A total of 39 patients with ESRD and TBAD underwent TEVAR during the study period. The median follow-up time of patients with and without ESRD was 45 and 46 months, respectively. There was significant difference between the survival at 4 years of patients with and without ESRD (72.8% vs 94.9%; p = 0.011). Meanwhile, the incidence of adverse events was significantly higher in patients with ESRD (p = 0.026). Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that ESRD (OR, 2.46; p = 0.049) and peripheral artery disease (OR, 4.11; p = 0.002) were the predictors of adverse events. CONCLUSIONS The rates of adverse events and survival expectancy were poor in patients with ESRD and TBAD.

Abstract
Atherosclerotic renovascular disease (ARVD) is the most common type of renal artery stenosis. It represents a common health problem with clinical presentations relevant to many medical specialties and carries a high risk for future cardiovascular and renal events, as well as overall mortality. The available evidence regarding the management of ARVD is conflicting. Randomized controlled trials failed to demonstrate superiority of percutaneous transluminal renal artery angioplasty (PTRA) with or without stenting in addition to standard medical therapy compared with medical therapy alone in lowering blood pressure levels or preventing adverse renal and cardiovascular outcomes in patients with ARVD, but they carried several limitations and met important criticism. Observational studies showed that PTRA is associated with future cardiorenal benefits in patients presenting with high-risk ARVD phenotypes (i.e. flash pulmonary oedema, resistant hypertension or rapid loss of kidney function). This clinical practice document, prepared by experts from the European Renal Best Practice (ERBP) board of the European Renal Association (ERA) and from the Working Group on Hypertension and the Kidney of the European Society of Hypertension (ESH), summarizes current knowledge in epidemiology, pathophysiology and diagnostic assessment of ARVD and presents, following a systematic literature review, key evidence relevant to treatment, with an aim to support clinicians in decision making and everyday management of patients with this condition.

Abstract
Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at high risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and cardiovascular death. Identifying and monitoring cardiovascular complications and hypertension is important for managing patients with CKD or kidney failure and transplant recipients. Biomarkers of myocardial ischaemia, such as troponins and electrocardiography (ECG), have limited utility for diagnosing cardiac ischaemia in patients with advanced CKD. Dobutamine stress echocardiography, myocardial perfusion scintigraphy and dipyridamole stress testing can be used to detect coronary disease in these patients. Left ventricular hypertrophy and left ventricular dysfunction can be detected and monitored using various techniques with differing complexity and cost, including ECG, echocardiography, nuclear magnetic resonance, CT and myocardial scintigraphy. Atrial fibrillation and other major arrhythmias are common in all stages of CKD, and ambulatory heart rhythm monitoring enables precise time profiling of these disorders. Screening for cerebrovascular disease is only indicated in asymptomatic patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease. Standardized blood pressure is recommended for hypertension diagnosis and treatment monitoring and can be complemented by ambulatory blood pressure monitoring. Judicious use of these diagnostic techniques may assist clinicians in detecting the whole range of cardiovascular alterations in patients with CKD and enable timely treatment of CVD in this high-risk population.

Abstract
Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is prevalent in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and is associated with substantial morbidity, mortality, and a lower quality of life. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of PAD, clinical profile, and related risk factors among patients with CKD in Iraq (a low-to middle-income country). A cross sectional study comprised 175 CKD patients, of them 60% were male, their mean age was 56 ± 12.5 years, attending Nephrology unit, Hawler Teaching Hospital, Erbil, Iraq between march 2022 and November 2022. Data on demographic and baseline characteristics were collected. Laboratory tests were performed. All participants underwent a detailed history and clinical examination. Vascular lesions in the lower limbs were assessed using the ankle-brachial index. PAD was diagnosed based on an ankle-brachial index value ˂ 0.9, relevant symptoms, and clinical findings. Forty-nine patients (28%) had PAD, and only 17 (34.7%) were symptomatic. PAD was significantly associated with older age (P = .008), male sex (P = .039), diabetes (P = .012), and hypertension (P = .023). In addition, PAD prevalence was significantly higher in patients with prior coronary artery disease (P < .001), advanced CKD stages (P .032), low estimated glomerular filtration rate (P .03), albuminuria (P .002), elevated glycated hemoglobin (P .04), and high sensitive C-reactive protein (P < .001). No significant association was detected between PAD and body mass index, smoking, CKD duration, cerebrovascular disease, dyslipidemia, albumin, creatinine, hemoglobin, total PTH, and phosphate. Peripheral artery disease was prevalent in patients with CKD in Iraq, and the most affected patients were asymptomatic. Older age, male sex, hypertension, diabetes, prior coronary artery disease, advanced CKD stages, albuminuria, higher glycated hemoglobin level, and increased high-sensitivity C-reactive protein level were identified as risk factors. Early detection of occult PAD might enhance efforts toward proper prevention and treatment.

Abstract
Background It is widely accepted that there is a stepwise increase in the risk of acute ischemic stroke with chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, whether the risk of specific ischemic stroke subtypes varies with CKD remains unclear. Objective To assess the association between ischemic stroke subtypes (cardioembolic, arterial, lacunar, and other) classified using the Trial of ORG 10172 in Acute Stroke Treatment (TOAST) and CKD stage. Design retrospective cohort study. Setting Ontario, Canada. Patients A total of 17 434 adults with an acute ischemic stroke in Ontario, Canada between April 1, 2002 and March 31, 2013, with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) measurement or receipt of maintenance dialysis captured in a stroke registry were included. Measurements Kidney function categorized as an eGFR of ≥60, 30-59, <30 mL/min/1.73 m2, or maintenance dialysis. Ischemic stroke classified by TOAST included arterial, cardioembolic, lacunar, and other (dissection, prothrombotic state, cortical vein/sinus thrombosis, and vasculitis) types of strokes. Methods Adjusted regression models. Results In our cohort, 58.9% had an eGFR of ≥60, 34.7% an eGFR of 30-59, 6.0% an eGFR of <30 and 0.5% were on maintenance dialysis (mean age of 73 years; 48% women). Cardioembolic stroke was more common in patients with non-dialysis-dependant CKD (eGFR 30-59: 50.4%, adjusted odds ratio [OR] 1.20, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.02, 1.44; eGFR<30: 50.6%, OR 1.21, 95% CI: 1.02, 1.44), whereas lacunar stroke was less common (eGFR 30-59: 22.7% OR 0.85, 95% CI: 0.77, 0.93; eGFR <30: 0.73, 95% CI: 0.61, 0.88) compared with those with an eGFR ≥60. In stratified analyses by age and CKD, lacunar strokes were more frequent in those aged less than 65 years, whereas cardioembolic was higher in those aged 65 years and above. Limitations TOAST classification was not captured for all patients. Conclusion Non-dialysis CKD was associated with a higher risk of cardioembolic stroke, whereas an eGFR ≥60 mL/min/1.73 m2 was associated with a higher risk of lacunar stroke. Detailed stroke subtyping in CKD may therefore provide mechanistic insights and refocus treatment strategies in this high-risk population.

Abstract
Background Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) patients have a high risk of suffering from cardiovascular disease (CVD), placing a heavy cost on the public health system. In this study, we intended to develop and validate a shear-wave elastography (SWE)-based radiomics nomogram for predicting the development of CVD in DKD patients. This approach allows extensive use of the valuable information contained in ultrasound images, thus helping clinicians to identify CVD in DKD patients. Methods Totally 337 and 145 patients constituted the training and validation cohorts, respectively. The radiomics features of the segmented kidney in ultrasound images were extracted and selected to generate the rad-score of each patient. These rad-score, as well as the predictors of risk of CVD occurrence from the clinical characteristics, were included in the multivariate analysis to develop a nomogram. It was further assessed in the training and validation cohorts. Results Patients with CVD accounted for 30.9% (104/337) in the training cohort and 31.0% (45/145) in the validation cohort. The rad-score was calculated for each patient using 6 features extracted from the ultrasound images. The radiomics nomogram was built with the rad-score, age, systolic blood pressure (SBP), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C). It was superior to the clinical nomogram developed without the rad-score and demonstrated promising discrimination, calibration, and clinical utility in both training and validation cohorts. Conclusion We developed and validated an SWE-based radiomics nomogram to predict CVD risk in patients with DKD. The model was demonstrated to have a promising prediction performance, showing its potential to identify CVD in DKD patients and assist decision-making for appropriate early intervention.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cognitive impairment is common in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), and early intervention may prevent the progression of this condition. METHODS Here, we review interventions for the complications of CKD (anemia, secondary hyperparathyroidism, metabolic acidosis, harmful effects of dialysis, the accumulation of uremic toxins) and for prevention of vascular events, interventions that may potentially be protective against cognitive impairment. Furthermore, we discuss nonpharmacological and pharmacological methods to prevent cognitive impairment and/or minimize the latter's impact on CKD patients' daily lives. RESULTS A particular attention on kidney function assessment is suggested during work-up for cognitive impairment. Different approaches are promising to reduce cognitive burden in patients with CKD but the availabe dedicated data are scarce. CONCLUSIONS There is a need for studies assessing the effect of interventions on the cognitive function of patients with CKD.

Abstract
Background Although sex differences in the epidemiological features of aortic dissection (AD) are known, whether there were sex differences in the associations of comorbidities and risk factors with AD is unclear. We evaluated the temporal trends and risk factors of AD by sex. Methods and Results Using claims data from a universal health insurance program linked to the National Death Registry in Taiwan, we identified 16 368 men and 7052 women with newly diagnosed AD from 2005 to 2018. In the case-control analysis, a matched control group without AD was selected for men and women separately. Conditional logistic regression was used to evaluate risk factors of AD and sex differences. Over the 14 years, the annual incidence of diagnosed AD was 12.69 and 5.34 per 100 000 in men and women, respectively. The 30-day mortality was greater in women than in men (18.1% versus 14.1%; adjusted odds ratio [95% CI], 1.19 [1.10-1.29]), and the sex difference was observed mainly in patients not treated with surgery. The 30-day mortality declined over time in male patients undergoing surgical treatments, but no significantly temporal change was found in other patient groups stratified by sex and surgery. After multivariable adjustments, atrial fibrillation, chronic kidney disease, and coronary artery bypass graft surgery were associated with a greater increase in the odds of AD occurrence in women than in men. Conclusions Greater 30-day mortality and stronger associations of atrial fibrillation, chronic kidney disease, and coronary artery bypass graft surgery with AD in women than in men require further attention.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an independent risk factor for stroke and covert cerebrovascular disease, and up to 40% of stroke patients have concomitant CKD. However, the so-called "cerebrorenal interaction" attracted less attention compared to its cardiorenal counterpart. Diabetes is the leading cause of CKD. The sodium-glucose cotransporter (SGLT) 2 inhibitor is a relatively new class of oral anti-diabetic drugs and has cardiorenal benefits in addition to glucose-lowering effects. In the present perspective, we would like to review the current status and future potential of the SGLT2 inhibitor in cerebro-renal interactions and strokes regardless of the status of diabetes. We propose the potential roles of baseline renal functions and SGLT1/2 dual inhibition in stroke prevention, as well as the additional benefits of reducing atrial fibrillation and hemorrhagic stroke for SGLT2 inhibitors. Further clinical trials are anticipated to test whether SGLT2 inhibitors can fulfill the long-standing unmet clinical need and stop such a vicious cycle of cerebro-renal interaction.

The Impact of Chronic Kidney Disease on Mid-Term Outcomes after Revascularisation of Peripheral Arterial Occlusive Disease: Results from a Prospective Cohort Study. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11164750. [PMID: 36012989 PMCID: PMC9409847 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11164750] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/28/2022] [Revised: 08/09/2022] [Accepted: 08/12/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective: The current study aimed to determine the relationship between chronic kidney disease (CKD) and major 12-month outcomes for patients with in-hospital treatment for symptomatic peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD). Methods: An analysis of the prospective longitudinal multicentric cohort study with 12-month follow-up was conducted including patients who underwent endovascular or open surgery for symptomatic PAOD at 35 German vascular centres (initial study protocol: NCT03098290). Severity of CKD was grouped into four stages combining information about the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) at baseline and dialysis dependency. Outcomes included overall mortality as well as the two composite endpoints of amputation or death, and of major cardiovascular events (MACE). 12-month incidences and adjusted hazard ratios were estimated using the Kaplan–Meier function and Cox proportional hazard models. Results: A total of 4354 patients (32% female, 69 years mean age, 68% intermittent claudication, 69% percutaneous endovascular revascularisation) were included and followed for 244 days in median. Thereof, 22% had any CKD and 5% had end stage kidney disease (ESKD) at baseline. The 12-month overall mortality rate was 3.6% (95% CI 2.3–4.9) with 96 events in the entire cohort: 147 were amputated or died (5.3%, 95% CI 5.2–5.3), and 277 had a MACE (9.5%, 95% CI 9.4–9.5). When compared with patients without kidney disease, ESKD was significantly associated with overall mortality (HR 1.9; 95% CI 1.1–3.5), amputation or death (HR 2.4; 95% CI 1.4–4.1), and MACE (HR 2.0; 95% CI 1.3–3.2). Conclusions: In the current study on mid-term outcomes after invasive revascularisation for symptomatic PAOD, one out of five patients suffered from any CKD while those few with ESKD had twice the odds of death, of amputation or death, and of major adverse cardiovascular events after twelve months. These results emphasise that concomitant CKD and its impact on outcomes should be considered by severity while mild and moderate grades should not lead to ineffectual treatment strategies.

Abstract
Objectives Although ascending aortic diameter changes acutely after dissection, recommendation for prophylactic surgery of thoracic aortic aneurysms rely on data from dissected aortas. In this case-control study we aim to identify risk markers for acute and chronic aortic syndromes of the ascending aorta (ACAS-AA). Furthermore, to develop a predictive model for ACAS-AA. Methods We collected data of 188 cases of ACAS-AA and 376 controls standardized to age- and sex of the background population. Medical history and CT-derived aortic morphology were collected. For the dependent outcome ACAS-AA, potential independent risk factors were identified by univariate logistic regression and confirmed in multivariate logistic regression. As post-dissection tubular ascending aortic diameter is prone to expand, this factor was not included in the first model. The individual calculated adjusted odds ratios were then used in ROC-curve analysis to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of the model. To test the influence of post-ACAS-AA tubular ascending aortic diameter, this was added to the model. Results The following risk factors were identified as independent risk factors for ACAS-AA in multivariate analysis: bicuspid aortic valve (OR 20.41, p = 0.03), renal insufficiency (OR 2.9, p<0.01), infrarenal abdominal aortic diameter (OR 1.08, p<0.01), left common carotid artery diameter (OR 1.40, p<0.01) and aortic width (OR 1.07, p<0.01). Area under the curve was 0.88 (p<0.01). Adding post-ACAS-AA tubular ascending aortic diameter to the model, negated the association of bicuspid aortic valve, renal insufficiency, and left common carotid artery diameter. Area under the curve changed to 0.98 (p<0.01). Conclusions A high performing predictive model for ACAS-AA, free of ascending aortic diameter, can be achieved. Furthermore, we have identified abdominal aortic ectasia as an independent risk factor of ACAS-AA. Integration of potential biomarkers and morphologic variables, derived from undissected aortas, would probably improve the model.

Abstract
BackgroundDiabetic kidney disease (DKD) patients are facing an extremely high risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), which is a major cause of death for DKD patients. We aimed to build a deep learning model to predict CVD risk among DKD patients and perform risk stratifying, which could help them perform early intervention and improve personal health management.MethodsA retrospective cohort study was conducted to assess the risk of the occurrence of composite cardiovascular disease, which includes coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular diseases, congestive heart failure, and peripheral artery disease, in DKD patients. A least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression was used to perform the variable selection. A deep learning-based survival model called DeepSurv, based on a feed-forward neural network was developed to predict CVD risk among DKD patients. We compared the model performance with the conventional Cox proportional hazards (CPH) model and the Random survival forest (RSF) model using the concordance index (C-index), the area under the curve (AUC), and integrated Brier scores (IBS).ResultsWe recruited 890 patients diagnosed with DKD in this retrospective study. During a median follow-up of 10.4 months, there are 289 patients who sustained a subsequent CVD. Seven variables, including age, high density lipoprotein (HDL), hemoglobin (Hb), systolic blood pressure (SBP), smoking status, 24 h urinary protein excretion, and total cholesterol (TC), chosen by LASSO regression were used to develop the predictive model. The DeepSurv model showed the best performance, achieved a C-index of 0.767(95% confidence intervals [CI]: 0.717–0.817), AUC of 0.780(95%CI: 0.721–0.839), and IBS of 0.067 in the validation set. Then we used the cut-off value determined by ROC (receiver operating characteristic) curve to divide the patients into different risk groups. Moreover, the DeepSurv model was also applied to develop an online calculation tool for patients to conduct risk monitoring.ConclusionA deep-learning-based predictive model using seven clinical variables can effectively predict CVD risk among DKD patients and perform risk stratification. An online calculator allows its easy implementation.

Abstract
BackgroundDelayed treatment of acute aortic dissection (AAD)-related acute kidney injury (AKI) significantly increases the burden of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and mortality. Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a shared mediator of kidney disease and AAD. Here, we evaluated the relationship between LPA and kidney injury in AAD patients.MethodsWe measured the plasma concentration of LPA in a cohort of 80 patients with AAD. Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) regression and Logistic regression were used to evaluate the effect and interaction of LPA on AKI. Additive generalized model and penalized spline method were used to describe the non-linear association. Multivariable analyses with the Cox proportional-hazards model were used for subgroup analysis and interaction in LPA and subsequent CKD.ResultsThe participant’s average age was 54.27 ± 11.00 years, 68.75% of them were males, and the incidence of AKI was 43.75%. Patients with AKI had higher levels of LPA on admission, and the more significant the increase, the higher the risk of AKI. There was a non-linear positive correlation between admission LPA and AKI, and the premeditated inflection point was 346.33 (μg/dL) through two-piecewise linear regression and recursive algorithm. Subgroup analysis identified a stronger association between admission LPA and AKI in the elder, female and medically treated patients. The incidence of CKD was 22.67% in the 2-year follow-up. Patients with subsequent CKD had higher LPA levels on admission in the follow-up cohort, and a similar interaction trend was also observed through Cox proportional—hazards model.ConclusionAdmission LPA levels show a non-linear positive correlation with AKI and increase the risk of subsequent CKD, which is more pronounced in elderly, female, and medically treated patients.

Abstract
Although atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis (ARAS) is strictly associated with high cardiovascular risk and mortality, it often may remain unrecognized being clinically silent and frequently masked by co-morbidities especially in elderly patients with coexisting chronic kidney disease (CKD). The present observational study was conducted in elderly CKD-patients with atherosclerosis on other arterial beds. The aims were assessment of (1) ARAS prevalence; (2) best predictor(s) of ARAS, using duplex ultrasound; and (3) cardiovascular and renal outcomes at one-year follow-up. The cohort was represented by 607 consecutive in-patients. Inclusion criteria were age ≥65 years; CKD stages 2−5 not on dialysis; single or multiple atherosclerotic plaque on epiaortic vessels, abdominal aorta, aortic arch, coronary arteries, peripheral arteries that had been previously ascertained by one or more procedures. Duplex ultrasound was used to detect ARAS. Multiple regression analysis and ROS curve were performed to identify the predictors of ARAS. ARAS was found in 53 (44%) out of 120 patients who met the inclusion criteria. In univariate analysis, GFR (b = −0.021; p = 0.02); hemoglobin (b = −0.233; p = 0.02); BMI (b = 0.134; p = 0.036) and atherosclerosis of abdominal aorta and/or peripheral vessels (b = 1.025; p < 0.001) were associated with ARAS. In multivariable analysis, abdominal aorta and/or peripheral atherosclerosis was a significant (p = 0.002) predictor of ARAS. The area under the ROC curve was 0.655 (C.I. = 0.532−0.777; p = 0.019). ARAS is common in older CKD patients with extra-renal atherosclerosis, with the highest prevalence in those with aortic and peripheral atherosclerosis. ARAS may pass by unnoticed in everyday clinical practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The relationship between arteriolar hyalinosis and renal progression in immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) is not fully understood. We aimed to investigate the clinicopathological features and outcomes of IgAN with or without arteriolar hyalinosis. METHODS A total of 762 diagnosed with IgAN patients were retrospectively analyzed. We classified IgAN patients into two groups with or without arteriolar hyalinosis. Then, the clinicopathological characteristics of the two groups were compared. We used Kaplan-Meier survival analysis to compare the composite kidney outcome of the two groups and applied multivariate Cox regression analyses to test the association between arteriolar hyalinosis and composite kidney outcome. RESULTS Overall, 412 (54.1%) patients had arteriolar hyalinosis, including 173 patients diagnosed with hypertension. IgAN patients with arteriolar hyalinosis were older and had higher proteinuria, urea, uric acid, and blood pressure, while lower eGFR than those without arteriolar hyalinosis. Subgroup analysis showed similar results in IgAN patients with hypertension. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that IgAN patients with arteriolar hyalinosis had worse composite kidney outcome than those without arteriolar hyalinosis. In addition, subgroup analysis revealed that patients with hypertension have worse composite kidney outcome than those without hypertension. Multivariate Cox regression analyses confirm that arteriolar hyalinosis (HR 2.57; 95% CI 1.41-4.69; p = 0.002) is an independent risk factor for renal prognosis in IgAN patients. CONCLUSIONS Our study demonstrated that arteriolar hyalinosis is a common vascular lesion in IgAN patients. Arteriolar hyalinosis connects closely with hypertension, and arteriolar hyalinosis is an independent risk factor for renal prognosis in patients with IgAN.

Abstract
AIM To define the proportional and absolute benefits of the sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitor canagliflozin in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) with and without peripheral arterial disease (PAD). MATERIALS AND METHODS We pooled individual participant data from the CANVAS Program (n = 10 142) and CREDENCE trial (n = 4401). In this post hoc analysis, the main outcomes of interest were major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE: non-fatal myocardial infarction, non-fatal stroke or cardiovascular death), kidney outcomes, and extended major adverse limb events (MALE). Cox proportional hazards models were used to assess canagliflozin treatment effects in those with and without PAD. Absolute risk reductions per 1000 patients treated for 2.5 years were estimated using Poisson regression. RESULTS Of 14 543 participants, 3159 (21.7%) had PAD at baseline. In patients with PAD, canagliflozin reduced MACE (hazard ratio, 0.76; 95% confidence interval, 0.62-0.92), with similar relative benefits for other cardiovascular and kidney outcomes in participants with or without PAD at baseline (all Pinteraction > .268). There was no increase in the relative risk of extended MALE with canagliflozin, irrespective of baseline PAD history (Pinteraction > .864). The absolute benefits of canagliflozin were greater in those with PAD. CONCLUSIONS Patients with T2D and PAD derived similar relative cardiorenal benefits from canagliflozin treatment but higher absolute benefits compared with those without PAD, with no increase in extended MALE.

Abstract
Hypertension is a leading risk factor for cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality globally. Hypertension and chronic kidney disease are closely intertwined conditions as hypertension can lead to deteriorating renal function and progressive chronic kidney disease can contribute to worsening hypertension. In the setting of chronic kidney disease, the pathophysiology of hypertension is complex and involves the interplay of many factors including a reduced number of functioning nephrons, sodium retention and volume expansion, upregulation of the sympathetic nervous system, hormonal factors such as upregulation of the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system, and endothelial dysfunction. Poorly controlled hypertension can accelerate the progression to end-stage kidney disease. This review discusses the pathophysiological mechanisms that contribute to hypertension, including sympathetic nervous system activity, the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system and the role of sodium. In the setting of chronic kidney disease, the relationship with hypertension and renovascular disease as a potential cause and target for therapeutic intervention is briefly reviewed. Finally, treatment options, targets and the long-term cardiovascular benefits of optimal blood pressure control are discussed.

Renal artery stenting in the correct patients with atherosclerotic renovascular disease: time for a proper renal and cardiovascular outcome study? Clin Kidney J 2022; 16:201-204.

Abstract
Atherosclerotic renovascular disease (ARVD) represents the most common type of renal artery stenosis. In the last decade, a few large trials failed to demonstrate the superiority of standard medical therapy plus percutaneous transluminal renal angioplasty (PTRA) compared with medical therapy alone in lowering blood pressure levels or preventing adverse renal and cardiovascular outcomes in patients with ARVD. However, this issue remains controversial and an ongoing debate focusses on the benefits that selected patients could experience from renal revascularization procedures. In this regard, several pieces of observational data show that PTRA is associated with future cardiorenal benefits in patients presenting with high-risk ARVD phenotypes. Such evidence resulted in a progressive shift in relevant recommendations, with most recent not-graded suggestions supporting that revascularization should be offered in these high-risk subjects. Existing evidence clearly calls for a properly designed randomized controlled trial with selected patients presenting high-risk ARVD phenotypes, in order to confirm the superiority of PTRA versus non-invasive management in this patient group and objectively guide everyday clinical practice.

Abstract
AIM This prospective cohort study aimed to (i) examine stroke incidence and stroke subtypes by chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage, (ii) examine whether CKD patients with or without proteinuria have a high risk of stroke independent of traditional cardiovascular risk factors, and (iii) determine precise estimates of stroke risk by CKD stage while accounting for competing mortality risk. METHODS Participants were 2,023 patients enrolled in the Project in Sado for Total Health between June 2008 and December 2016 (55% men; mean age, 69 years), of whom 52% had CKD (stage 1-2, 10%; G3a, 48%; G3b, 17%; G4-5, 11%; and G5D, 14%). RESULTS During a median follow-up of 5.7 years, 157 participants developed stroke and 448 died without developing stroke. Most stroke cases were ischemic among non-dialysis-dependent CKD participants, but the relative frequency of ischemic stroke was near that of intracerebral hemorrhage among dialysis-dependent CKD participants. After adjustment, stage 1-2 (hazard ratio (HR), 2.97; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.60 to 5.51) and stage G3-5 participants with proteinuria (HR, 2.50; 95% CI, 1.56 to 4.02), but not stage G3-5 participants without proteinuria (HR, 0.64; 95% CI, 0.38 to 1.08), had a higher stroke risk compared to non-CKD participants. In competing risk analyses, the association was attenuated but remained significant. CONCLUSION Although the distribution of stroke subtypes differed, CKD participants with proteinuria and those with CKD stage 5D had a 2- and 4-times higher risk of stroke, respectively, than that of non-CKD participants, after accounting for competing mortality risk and traditional risk factors.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and cardiac insufficiency often co-exist, particularly in uremic patients on hemodialysis (HD). The occurrence of abnormal renal function in patients with cardiac insufficiency is often indicative of a poor prognosis. It has long been established that in patients with cardiac insufficiency, poorer renal function tends to indicate poorer cardiac mechanics, including left atrial reserve strain, left ventricular longitudinal strain, and right ventricular free wall strain (Unger et al., Eur J Heart Fail, 2016, 18(1), 103–12). Similarly, patients with chronic kidney disease, particularly uremic patients on HD, often have cardiovascular complications in addition to abnormal endothelial function with volume overload, persistent inflammatory states, calcium overload, and imbalances in redox responses. Cardiac insufficiency due to uremia is therefore mainly due to multifaceted non-specific pathological changes rather than pure renal insufficiency. Several studies have shown that the risk of adverse cardiovascular events is greatly increased and persistent in all patients treated with HD, especially in those who have just started HD treatment. Inflammation, as an important intersection between CKD and cardiovascular disease, is involved in the development of cardiovascular complications in patients with CKD and is indicative of prognosis (Chan et al., Eur Heart J, 2021, 42(13), 1244–1253). Therefore, only by understanding the mechanisms underlying the sequential development of inflammation in CKD patients and breaking the vicious circle between inflammation-mediated renal and cardiac insufficiency is it possible to improve the prognosis of patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). This review highlights the mechanisms of inflammation and the oxidative stress that co-exists with inflammation in uremic patients on dialysis, as well as the mechanisms of cardiovascular complications in the inflammatory state, and provides clinical recommendations for the anti-inflammatory treatment of cardiovascular complications in such patients.

Abstract
The diagnosis and management of atherosclerotic renovascular disease (ARVD) is complex and controversial. Despite evidence from the ASTRAL (2009) and CORAL (2013) randomized controlled trials showing that percutaneous renal artery revascularization did not improve major outcomes compared with best medical therapy alone over 3-5 years, several areas of uncertainty remain. Medical therapy, including statin and antihypertensive medications, has evolved in recent years, and the use of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system blockers is now considered the primary means to treat hypertension in the setting of ARVD. However, the criteria to identify kidneys with renal artery stenosis that have potentially salvageable function are evolving. There are also data suggesting that certain high-risk populations with specific clinical manifestations may benefit from revascularization. Here, we provide an overview of the epidemiology, diagnosis, and treatment of ARVD based on consensus recommendations from a panel of physician experts who attended the recent KDIGO (Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes) Controversies Conference on central and peripheral arterial diseases in chronic kidney disease. Most focus is provided for contentious issues, and we also outline aspects of investigation and management of ARVD that require further research.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an independent risk factor for the development of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), as well as for cardiovascular and renal events and all-cause mortality following surgery for AAA or thoracic aortic dissection. In addition, the incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) after any aortic surgery is particularly high, and this AKI per se is independently associated with future cardiovascular events and mortality. On the other hand, both development of AKI after surgery and the long-term evolution of kidney function differ significantly depending on the type of AAA intervention (open surgery vs. the various subtypes of endovascular repair). Current knowledge regarding AAA in the general population may not be always applicable to CKD patients, as they have a high prevalence of co-morbid conditions and an elevated risk for periprocedural complications. This summary of a Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes Controversies Conference group discussion reviews the epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of Diseases of the Aorta in CKD and identifies knowledge gaps, areas of controversy, and priorities for future research.

Abstract
PURPOSE Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients. The aim of this study is to investigate the predictive value of coronary artery calcification score (CACs) combined with bone mineral density (BMD) for the risk of cardiovascular diseases in MHD patients. METHODS From January 2017 to January 2019, we enrolled 112 MHD patients and 112 controls in Ningbo First Hospital, and retrospectively counted the cardiovascular events in the next 2 years after enrollment. According to the occurrence of cardiovascular events, the MHD patients were divided into CVD group and non-CVD group. The differences of vertebral BMD and CACs between the two groups were compared. ROC curve, Kaplan-Meier curve and Cox regression analyses were used for assess the predictive value of 2-year cardiovascular events in MHD patients. RESULTS Among 112 MHD patients, 49 (43.75%) patients had cardiovascular events. The results showed that the average value of BMD in MHD patients was significantly lower than that in the control group (99.88 ± 30.99 VS. 108.35 ± 23.98, P = 0.0231). The CACs in MHD patients were significantly higher than that in the control group (317.81 ± 211.53 VS. 190.03 ± 100.50, P < 0.001). The results between CVD group and the non-CVD group were to the same direction (BMD: 81.12 ± 31.28 VS. 114.48 ± 21.61, P < 0.001; CACs: 447.16 ± 234.11 VS. 217.21 ± 119.03, P < 0.001). Besides, CACs combined with BMD yield an AUC of 0.875 with a sensitivity of 79.60%, a specificity of 82.50%. Kaplan-Meier curve and Cox regression analyses indicated that CACs and BMD were independently associated with high risk of cardiovascular events in MHD patients. CONCLUSION The combination of CACs and vertebral BMD could predict the occurrence of cardiovascular events in MHD patients to some extent.
