Estimated small dense low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol and the risk of kidney and cardiovascular outcomes in diabetic kidney disease. Ren Fail 2024; 46:2369701. [PMID: 38952279 PMCID: PMC467091 DOI: 10.1080/0886022x.2024.2369701] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/31/2023] [Accepted: 06/13/2024] [Indexed: 07/03/2024] Open
Abstract
AIMS This study aimed to investigate the correlations between estimated small dense low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (esd-LDL-c) and the development of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), cardiovascular mortality, and all-cause mortality in individuals with diabetic kidney disease (DKD) or diabetes mellitus (DM) concomitant chronic kidney disease (CKD). METHODS We analyzed the data from a biopsy-proven DKD cohort conducted at West China Hospital of Sichuan University between 2009 and 2021 (the DKD cohort) and participants with DM and CKD in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2011-2014 (the NHANES DM-CKD cohort). Cox regression analysis was also used to estimate associations between esd-LDL-c and the incidence of ESKD, cardiovascular mortality, and all-cause mortality. RESULTS There were 175 ESKD events among 338 participants in the DKD cohort. Patients were divided into three groups based on esd-LDL-c tertiles (T1 < 33.7 mg/dL, T2 ≥ 33.7 mg/dL to <45.9 mg/dL, T3 ≥ 45.9 mg/dL). The highest tertile of esd-LDL-c was associated with ESKD (adjusted HR 2.016, 95% CI 1.144-3.554, p = .015). Furthermore, there were 99 deaths (39 cardiovascular) among 293 participants in the NHANES DM-CKD cohort. Participants were classified into three groups in line with the tertile values of esd-LDL-c in the DKD cohort. The highest tertile of esd-LDL-c was associated with cardiovascular mortality (adjusted HR 3.95, 95% CI 1.3-12, p = .016) and all-cause mortality (adjusted HR 2.37, 95% CI 1.06-5.32, p = .036). CONCLUSIONS Higher esd-LDL-c was associated with increased risk of ESKD in people with biopsy-proven DKD, and higher cardiovascular and all-cause mortality risk among those with DM-CKD.

Weir MR. Cardiovascular risk reduction in type 2 diabetes: What the non-specialist needs to know about current guidelines. Diabetes Obes Metab 2024; 26 Suppl 5:14-24. [PMID: 38987977 DOI: 10.1111/dom.15764] [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: 04/17/2024] [Revised: 06/10/2024] [Accepted: 06/19/2024] [Indexed: 07/12/2024]
Abstract
In the US, approximately 11% of the population have diagnosed diabetes and nearly 40% have prediabetes. In addition, chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects 14% of the US population including up to 40% of those with diabetes. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of death worldwide where it affects approximately half of adults. The presence of CKD or diabetes doubles the risk of cardiovascular events. When both CKD and diabetes occur in the same patient the risks are further increased. The clinical problems of hypertension, hyperglycemia, and hyperlipidemia are all closely related with obesity, metabolic syndrome, Type 2 diabetes, CKD, atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, heart failure and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis. The increasing frequency of obesity has driven increases in all of these medical comorbidities. These conditions frequently cluster together in the same patient exacerbating the risk of morbidity and mortality. They are also associated with cognitive dysfunction/dementia, pulmonary diseases, cancers, gastrointestinal diseases, immune system abnormalities, and inflammatory disorders. Only 6.8% of adults in US meet all targets for cardiovascular risk management with significant disparities based on race and ethnicity. Given the complexity of these multisystem problems in people with diabetes and obesity, it would seem reasonable to attempt to diagnose and treat many of the comorbidities earlier in the course of disease rather than wait for substantial end organ dysfunction to occur. The American Diabetes Association (ADA) has recently published a consensus statement recommending early screening for the diagnosis of heart failure, CKD and diabetes, recognizing both the frequency and gravity of this combination. Likewise, there are recommendations in the guidelines to facilitate screening for microalbuminuria, blood pressure, glycemic control and lipids earlier in patients at risk rather than wait and treat as a secondary prevention program. Thus, the general principle is to facilitate earlier recognition and diagnosis and provide treatment before downstream target organ complications occur. This review will focus on CVD and risk management based on newest recommendations and standards of care in people with diabetes by the ADA. The main considerations in the treatment of people with diabetes are glycemic control, blood pressure, lipids, and the use of medications with proven cardiorenal disease progression capability to prevent or delay.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Finerenone, a selective non-steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist, improves kidney and cardiovascular outcomes in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D). The FINE-REAL study (NCT05348733) aims to evaluate the characteristics and treatment patterns of participants treated with finerenone in clinical practice. METHODS FINE-REAL is a prospective, single-arm, non-interventional study of patients initiated on finerenone as part of their routine care in accordance with country-approved labels. The study, initiated in June 2022, is expected to be completed by January 2028. The cutoff for this pre-specified interim analysis was June 13, 2023. RESULTS Participants were recruited across nephrology, endocrinology, cardiology, and primary care settings. Of 556 participants enrolled in the study by the cut-off date, 504 were included in this analysis (median follow-up duration of 7 months [finerenone treatment initiation to last recorded observation]). At baseline, 76.1% of participants were in the high or very high (KDIGO) CKD risk categories. Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors/angiotensin receptor blockers and sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors were prescribed to 71.8% and 46.6% of participants, respectively. Based on prescribing information, 87.9% and 12.1% of participants initiated finerenone at doses of 10 and 20 mg, respectively. Finerenone treatment was uninterrupted in 92.3% of participants after 7 months' median follow-up. Treatment-emergent adverse events occurred in 110 (21.8%) participants. Hyperkalemia occurred in 25 (5.0%) participants, with no cases leading to death, dialysis, or hospitalization. CONCLUSION At this interim analysis, finerenone was initiated in patients with CKD and T2D across various clinical practices participating in the study. Treatment discontinuation and hyperkalemia occurred infrequently.

Abstract
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a common microvascular complication of diabetes mellitus (DM). Radix Astragali (RA), a frequently used Chinese herbal medicine in the Leguminosae family, Astragalus genus, with its extracts, has been proven to be effective in DN treatment both in clinical practice and experimental studies. RA and its extracts can reduce proteinuria and improve renal function. They can improve histopathology changes including thickening of the glomerular basement membrane, mesangial cell proliferation, and injury of endothelial cells, podocytes, and renal tubule cells. The mechanisms mainly benefited from antioxidative stress which involves Nrf2/ARE signaling and the PPARγ-Klotho-FoxO1 axis; antiendoplasmic reticulum stress which involves PERK-ATF4-CHOP, PERK/eIF2α, and IRE1/XBP1 pathways; regulating autophagy which involves SIRT1/NF-κB signaling and AMPK signaling; anti-inflammation which involves IL33/ST2 and NF-κB signaling; and antifibrosis which involves TGF-β1/Smads, MAPK (ERK), p38/MAPK, JNK/MAPK, Wnt/β-catenin, and PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathways. This review focuses on the clinical efficacy and the pharmacological mechanism of RA and its representative extracts on DN, and we further document the traditional uses of RA and probe into the TCM theoretical basis for its application in DN.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is the most common co-morbidity in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and its presence substantially amplifies the risk for premature death, adverse cardiovascular events, and faster progression of kidney injury to kidney failure. For nearly two decades, the pharmacological blockade of the renin-angiotensin-system (RAS) was the only pillar of therapy to afford cardiorenal protection in these patients. During the last 5 years, newer novel therapies have been added to our therapeutic armamentarium, offering promise for more effective management of diabetic kidney disease in the future. Large phase 3 clinical trials have demonstrated additive cardiorenal protective benefits of sodium-glucose co-transporter type 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors, the non-steroidal mineralocorticoid-receptor-antagonist (MRA) finerenone, and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) semaglutide relative to placebo in patients with albuminuric CKD and T2D who are receiving standard-of-care treatment with a RAS-blocker. These therapies are likely much more effective when administered in a combined therapeutic algorithm, but the potential additive effects of combination therapy remain to be established in ongoing clinical trials. In this article, we assemble four pillars of therapy for the attenuation of residual cardiorenal risk in patients with CKD associated with T2D. We provide evidence from recent randomized trials and we discuss the concept of combined treatment for maximal cardiorenal protection in this high-risk patient population.

Abstract
The burden of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and its risk factors are projected to rise in parallel with the rapidly ageing global population. By 2050, the prevalence of CKD category G3-G5 may exceed 10% in some regions, resulting in substantial health and economic burdens that will disproportionately affect lower-income countries. The extent to which the CKD epidemic can be mitigated depends largely on the uptake of prevention efforts to address modifiable risk factors, the implementation of cost-effective screening programmes for early detection of CKD in high-risk individuals and widespread access and affordability of new-generation kidney-protective drugs to prevent the development and delay the progression of CKD. Older patients require a multidisciplinary integrated approach to manage their multimorbidity, polypharmacy, high rates of adverse outcomes, mental health, fatigue and other age-related symptoms. In those who progress to kidney failure, comprehensive conservative management should be offered as a viable option during the shared decision-making process to collaboratively determine a treatment approach that respects the values and wishes of the patient. Interventions that maintain or improve quality of life, including pain management and palliative care services when appropriate, should also be made available.

Abstract
PURPOSE The current study investigated the correlation between dietary iron intake and diabetic kidney disease among diabetic adults. METHODS This cross-sectional study enrolled 8118 participants who suffered from diabetes from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 1999-2018. Dietary iron intake was obtained from 24 h recall interviews, and diabetic kidney disease was defined as eGFR < 60 mL/min per 1.73 m2 or albumin creatinine ratio (ACR) ≥ 30 mg/g. Three weighted logistic regression models were utilized to investigate odd ratio (OR) and 95% CIs for diabetic kidney disease. Stratified analyses were performed by gender, age, BMI, HbA1c, hypertension status, and smoking status, and diabetes types. RESULTS Among 8118 participants (51.6% male, mean age 61.3 years), 40.7% of participants suffered from diabetic kidney disease. With the adjustment of potential covariates, we found that ≥ 12.59 mg of dietary iron was related to a lower risk of diabetic kidney disease (OR = 0.78, 95% CI: 0.63 to 0.96; OR = 0.79, 95% CI: 0.63 to 0.98). In stratified analyses, higher iron intake was negatively related to diabetic kidney disease, especially among those who were male, < 60 years, those with hypertension, those with HbA1c < 7.0%, and those who were ex-smokers. The result remained robust in sensitivity analyses. CONCLUSION We found that ≥ 12.59 mg of dietary iron is associated with a lower risk of diabetic kidney disease, especially in those who were male, younger, heavier weight, have better blood sugar control, and those who were ex-smokers.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Chronic kidney disease (CKD) etiology varies greatly between developed and developing countries. In addition, differences in underlying pathogenesis and therapeutic options affect the progression towards advanced-CKD. This meta-analysis aims to identify the etiology of advanced-CKD in Southeast Asia. METHODS A systematic search in four electronic-databases and complementary search on national kidney registries and repository libraries was conducted until July 20, 2023. The risk of bias was assessed using Newcastle-Ottawa Scale for observational studies and Version-2 of Cochrane for intervention studies. A random-effects model was used to estimate pooled prevalence. The protocol is registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews PROSPERO; Registration ID:CRD42022300786. RESULTS We analyzed 81 studies involving 32,834 subjects. The pooled prevalence of advanced-CKD etiologies are diabetic kidney disease (DKD) 29.2% (95%CI 23.88-34.78), glomerulonephritis 20.0% (95%CI 16.84-23.38), hypertension 16.8% (95%CI 14.05-19.70), other 8.6% (95%CI 6.97-10.47), unknown 7.5% (95%CI 4.32-11.50), and polycystic kidney disease 0.7% (95%CI 0.40-1.16). We found a significant increase in DKD prevalence from 21% (9.2%, 95%CI 0.00-33.01) to 30% (95%CI 24.59-35.97) before and after the year 2000. Among upper-middle-income and high-income countries, DKD is the most prevalent (26.8%, 95%CI 21.42-32.60 and 38.9%, 95%CI 29.33-48.79, respectively), while glomerulonephritis is common in lower-middle-income countries (33.8%, 95%CI 15.62-54.81). CONCLUSION The leading cause of advanced-CKD in Southeast Asia is DKD, with a substantial proportion of glomerulonephritis. An efficient screening program targeting high-risk populations (diabetes mellitus and glomerulonephritis) is needed, with the aim to delay CKD progression.

Efficacy and Safety in a Real-World Study of the New Oral Formulation of Semaglutide in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. J Clin Med 2024; 13:5166. [PMID: 39274378 PMCID: PMC11396478 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13175166] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/03/2024] [Revised: 08/12/2024] [Accepted: 08/29/2024] [Indexed: 09/16/2024] Open
Abstract
Background/Objectives: GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) have emerged as fundamental components in the treatment of type 2 diabetic patients (T2DM) with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The oral formulation represents a novel therapeutic tool but may affect drug efficacy. This study sought to compare the effectiveness of subcutaneous versus oral semaglutide formulations in patients with CKD. Methods: A retrospective study in a real-world setting compared type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease patients, initiating oral semaglutide treatment to a historically matched control group treated with subcutaneous semaglutide. The matching considered factors such as estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), age, and sex. Results: Nineteen patients were included in both groups, with a mean age of 68.0. Seventy-two percent were males with a CKD-EPI eGFR of 49.9 mL/min/1.73 m2 and a median urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio of 12.7 mg/g. Of the study participants, 94% and 79% of patients were on the maximum semaglutide sbc vs. oral dose, while 5.3% and 15.8% were on the sbc vs. oral low dose. Oral semaglutide significantly reduced HbA1C and BMI, identical to the control group (-0.9 and -1.4, p > 0.05). Renal function parameters and blood pressure remained stable throughout the follow-up in both groups. The main side effect was digestive intolerance (affecting three patients in the oral group and two patients in the subcutaneous group, p = 0.6), although the treatment abandonment percentage was similar. Conclusions: The oral formulation of semaglutide demonstrated equivalent effectiveness in glucose control and body weight management in patients with T2DM and CKD, even with a higher proportion of patients receiving low to medium doses. Gastrointestinal side effects were comparable between both oral and subcutaneous formulations.

Abstract
Cell deaths maintain the normal function of tissues and organs. In pathological conditions, the abnormal activation or disruption of cell death often leads to pathophysiological effects. Diabetic kidney disease (DKD), a significant microvascular complication of diabetes, is linked to high mortality and morbidity rates, imposing a substantial burden on global healthcare systems and economies. Loss and detachment of podocytes are key pathological changes in the progression of DKD. This review explores the potential mechanisms of apoptosis, necrosis, autophagy, pyroptosis, ferroptosis, cuproptosis, and podoptosis in podocytes, focusing on how different cell death modes contribute to the progression of DKD. It recognizes the limitations of current research and presents the latest basic and clinical research studies targeting podocyte death pathways in DKD. Lastly, it focuses on the future of targeting podocyte cell death to treat DKD, with the intention of inspiring further research and the development of therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
The increasing incidence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) poses a significant public health concern, prompting heightened attention to its treatment. Incretins, including glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide, are intestinal peptides released after nutrient intake, known for their hypoglycemic effects in diabetes management. Recent advancements highlight the promising outcomes of GLP-1 receptor agonists in reducing CKD risk factors and improving renal outcomes. The multifaceted functions of GLP-1, such as its anti-obesity, anti-hypertensive, anti-hyperglycemic, anti-lipid, anti-inflammatory, and endothelial function protective properties, contribute to its potential as a therapeutic agent for CKD. Although experiments suggest the potential benefits of incretin in CKD, a comprehensive understanding of its specific mechanisms is still lacking. This review aims to provide a detailed examination of current evidence and potential future directions, emphasizing the promising yet evolving landscape of incretin agonists in the context of CKD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetic kidney disease is the most common cause of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) in the western world. Rapid estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) decline is an independent predictor of ESKD and death in the general population and in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D). AIM We investigated in a large sample of subjects with newly diagnosed T2D the prevalence and clinical determinants of fast eGFR decline, taking advantage from the dataset of the Associazione Medici Diabetologi (AMD) Annals initiative. METHODS The eGFR trajectories were evaluated by applying a linear mixed model for repeated measures (LMMRM) and rapid eGFR decline defined as an eGFR decline greater than 5 mL/min/1.73 m2 per year at 3 years. RESULTS Among 105,163 (57.7% M) subjects with newly diagnosed T2D, 13,587 (12.9 %) subjects showed a rapid eGFR loss. The independent significant predictors were age, female gender, HbA1c, smoking, high baseline eGFR, albuminuria and retinopathy. CONCLUSION Our study demonstrates that a significant percentage of newly diagnosed T2D subjects have a rapid eGFR decline. Given the association between dynamic changes in eGFR and the risk of ESKD or death, we suggest to include this variable in the definition of CKD.

Association between visceral adiposity index and incidence of diabetic kidney disease in adults with diabetes in the United States. Sci Rep 2024; 14:17957. [PMID: 39095646 PMCID: PMC11297263 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-69034-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/03/2024] [Accepted: 07/31/2024] [Indexed: 08/04/2024] Open
Abstract
Visceral adiposity index (VAI) is a reliable indicator of visceral adiposity. However, no stu-dies have evaluated the association between VAI and DKD in US adults with diabetes. Theref-ore, this study aimed to explore the relationship between them and whether VAI is a good pr-edictor of DKD in US adults with diabetes. Our cross-sectional study included 2508 participan-ts with diabetes who were eligible for the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2007 to 2018. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression were used to an-alyze the association between VAI level and DKD. Three models were used to control for pot-ential confounding factors, and subgroup analysis was performed for further verification. A tot-al of 2508 diabetic patients were enrolled, of whom 945 (37.68%) were diagnosed with DKD. Overall, the VAI was 3.36 ± 0.18 in the DKD group and 2.76 ± 0.11 in the control group. VAI was positively correlated with DKD (OR = 1.050, 95% CI 1.049, 1.050) after fully adjusting for co-nfounding factors. Compared with participants in the lowest tertile of VAI, participants in the highest tertile of VAI had a significantly increased risk of DKD by 35.9% (OR = 1.359, 95% CI 1.355, 1.362). Through subgroup analysis, we found that VAI was positively correlated with the occurrence of DKD in all age subgroups, male(OR = 1.043, 95% CI 1.010, 1.080), participants wit-hout cardiovascular disease(OR = 1.038, 95% CI 1.011, 1.069), hypertension (OR = 1.054, 95% CI 1.021, 1.090), unmarried participants (OR = 1.153, 95% CI 1.036, 1.294), PIR < 1.30(OR = 1.049, 95% CI 1.010, 1.094), PIR ≧ 3 (OR = 1.085, 95% CI 1.021, 1.160), BMI ≧ 30 kg/m2 (OR = 1.050, 95% CI 1.016, 1.091), former smokers (OR = 1.060, 95% CI 1.011, 1.117), never exercised (OR = 1.033, 95% CI 1.004, 1.067), non-Hispanic white population (OR = 1.055, 95% CI 1.010, 1.106) and non-Hipanic black population (OR = 1.129, 95% CI 1.033, 1.258). Our results suggest that elevated VAI levels are closely associated with the development of DKD in diabetic patients. VAI may be a simpl-e and cost-effective index to predict the occurrence of DKD. This needs to be verified in furt-her prospective investigations.

Impact of Race-Free Glomerular Filtration Rate Estimations on CKD Prevalence in the US Military Health System: A Retrospective Cohort Study. Kidney Med 2024; 6:100861.

Abstract
Rationale & Objective The 2021 CKD-EPI removes Black race as a factor in calculating the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). We assessed its effect on CKD prevalence in the demographically-diverse US Military Health System. Study Design A retrospective calculation of the eGFR from serum creatinine measured over 2016-2019 using both the 2009 and 2021 CKD-EPI equations. Setting & Population Multicenter health care network with data from 1,502,607 adults in the complete case analysis and from 1,970,433 adults in an imputed race analysis. Predictors Serum creatinine, age, sex, and race. Outcome CKD stages 3-5, defined as the last eGFR persistently < 60 mL/min/1.73m2 for ≥90 days. Analytical Approach The t test and Kruskal-Wallis test were used for continuous variables and Χ2 for categorical data. Results The population in the complete case analysis had a median age of 40 years and was 18.8% Black race and 35.4% female. With the 2021 equation, the number of Black adults with CKD stages 3-5 increased by 58.1% from 4,147 to 6,556, a change in the crude prevalence from 1.47% to 2.32%. The number of non-Black adults with CKD stages 3-5 decreased by 30.4% from 27,596 to 19,213, a crude prevalence change from 2.26% to 1.58%. Similar results were seen with race imputation. Cumulatively, among adults with CKD stages 3-5 by at least one equation, 45.8% of Black adults were reclassified to more advanced stages of CKD and 44.0% of non-Black adults were reclassified to less severe stages across eGFR thresholds that could change clinical management. Limitations Potential underestimation of CKD in individuals with only 1 measurement. Conclusions Adoption of the 2021 CKD-EPI equation in the Military Health System reclassifies many Black adults into new CKD stages 3-5 or into more advanced CKD stages, with the opposite effect on non-Black adults. This may have an effect on CKD treatment and outcomes in ways that are yet unknown.

Heterogeneity of glycaemic phenotypes in type 1 diabetes. Diabetologia 2024; 67:1567-1581. [PMID: 38780786 PMCID: PMC11343912 DOI: 10.1007/s00125-024-06179-4] [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: 10/05/2023] [Accepted: 04/08/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024]
Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS Our study aims to uncover glycaemic phenotype heterogeneity in type 1 diabetes. METHODS In the Study of the French-speaking Society of Type 1 Diabetes (SFDT1), we characterised glycaemic heterogeneity thanks to a set of complementary metrics: HbA1c, time in range (TIR), time below range (TBR), CV, Gold score and glycaemia risk index (GRI). Applying the Discriminative Dimensionality Reduction with Trees (DDRTree) algorithm, we created a phenotypic tree, i.e. a 2D visual mapping. We also carried out a clustering analysis for comparison. RESULTS We included 618 participants with type 1 diabetes (52.9% men, mean age 40.6 years [SD 14.1]). Our phenotypic tree identified seven glycaemic phenotypes. The 2D phenotypic tree comprised a main branch in the proximal region and glycaemic phenotypes in the distal areas. Dimension 1, the horizontal dimension, was positively associated with GRI (coefficient [95% CI]) (0.54 [0.52, 0.57]), HbA1c (0.39 [0.35, 0.42]), CV (0.24 [0.19, 0.28]) and TBR (0.11 [0.06, 0.15]), and negatively with TIR (-0.52 [-0.54, -0.49]). The vertical dimension was positively associated with TBR (0.41 [0.38, 0.44]), CV (0.40 [0.37, 0.43]), TIR (0.16 [0.12, 0.20]), Gold score (0.10 [0.06, 0.15]) and GRI (0.06 [0.02, 0.11]), and negatively with HbA1c (-0.21 [-0.25, -0.17]). Notably, socioeconomic factors, cardiovascular risk indicators, retinopathy and treatment strategy were significant determinants of glycaemic phenotype diversity. The phenotypic tree enabled more granularity than traditional clustering in revealing clinically relevant subgroups of people with type 1 diabetes. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION Our study advances the current understanding of the complex glycaemic profile in people with type 1 diabetes and suggests that strategies based on isolated glycaemic metrics might not capture the complexity of the glycaemic phenotypes in real life. Relying on these phenotypes could improve patient stratification in type 1 diabetes care and personalise disease management.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in adults ≥18 years of age with type 1 diabetes in the U.S. was determined using National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A modified treatment-based algorithm applying a subset of NHANES diabetes questionnaires was used. The number of respondents with CKD and type 1 diabetes was weighted (extrapolated) to the U.S. population. RESULTS Based on data between 2015 and 2018, type 1 diabetes was identified in 47 out of 19,225 adults with evaluable kidney function data. CKD was present in 20 out of 47 people identified with type 1 diabetes. The weighted estimate of CKD in type 1 diabetes was 21.5%, corresponding to 258,196 (95% CI 71,189-445,203) people in the U.S. CONCLUSIONS Applying a conservative approach in our study indicates that CKD is common in adults with type 1 diabetes in the U.S.

[PMID: 39090593 PMCID: PMC11293206 DOI: 10.1186/s12882-024-03652-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2024] [Accepted: 06/24/2024] [Indexed: 08/04/2024] Open
Abstract
Given the substantial burden of chronic kidney disease associated with type 2 diabetes, an aggressive approach to treatment is required. Despite the benefits of guideline-directed therapy, there remains a high residual risk of continuing progression of chronic kidney disease and of cardiovascular events. Historically, a linear approach to pharmacologic management of chronic kidney disease has been used, in which drugs are added, then adjusted, optimized, or stopped in a stepwise manner based on their efficacy, toxicity, effects on a patient's quality of life, and cost. However, there are disadvantages to this approach, which may result in missing a window of opportunity to slow chronic kidney disease progression. Instead, a pillar approach has been proposed to enable earlier treatment that simultaneously targets multiple pathways involved in disease progression. Combination therapy in patients with chronic kidney disease associated with type 2 diabetes is being investigated in several clinical trials. In this article, we discuss current treatment options for patients with chronic kidney disease associated with type 2 diabetes and provide a rationale for tailored combinations of therapies with complementary mechanisms of action to optimize therapy using a pillar-based treatment strategy.

Abstract
Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is one of the leading causes of end-stage renal disease worldwide and significantly increases the risk of premature death due to cardiovascular diseases. Elevated urinary albumin levels are an important clinical feature of DKD. Effective control of albuminuria not only delays glomerular filtration rate decline but also markedly reduces cardiovascular disease risk and all-cause mortality. New drugs for treating DKD proteinuria, including sodium-glucose cotransporter two inhibitors, mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists, and endothelin receptor antagonists, have shown significant efficacy. Auxiliary treatment with proprietary Chinese medicine has also yielded promising results; however, it also faces a broader scope for development. The mechanisms by which these drugs treat albuminuria in patients with DKD should be described more thoroughly. The positive effects of combination therapy with two or more drugs in reducing albuminuria and protecting the kidneys warrant further investigation. Therefore, this review explores the pathophysiological mechanism of albuminuria in patients with DKD, the value of clinical diagnosis and prognosis, new progress and mechanisms of treatment, and multidrug therapy in patients who have type 2 diabetic kidney disease, providing a new perspective on the clinical diagnosis and treatment of DKD.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) impacts over 10% of the global population. Adults with CKD face significant morbidity and mortality. As kidney disease progresses, the risk of adverse outcomes increases. Here, we present an overview of strategies to care for adults with advanced CKD (stage 4-5 CKD, not receiving kidney replacement therapy). We aim to guide clinicians through several aspects of CKD care, ranging from recommended laboratory assessments to interdisciplinary support for patients as they plan for kidney replacement therapy (dialysis, transplantation, or conservative management). We incorporate considerations of health equity and person-centered care, empowering clinicians to deliver high-quality care to people with CKD.

Abstract
Background The gut microbiota plays a pivotal role in the development of diabetes and kidney disease. However, it is not clear how the intestinal microecological imbalance is involved in the context of diabetic kidney disease (DKD), the leading cause of renal failure. Objectives To elucidate the gut microbial signatures associated with DKD progression towards end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and explore whether they could reflect renal dysfunction and psychological distress. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted to explore the gut microbial signatures of 29 DKD non-ESRD patients and 19 DKD ESRD patients compared to 20 healthy controls. Differential analysis was performed to detect distinct gut microbial alterations in diversities and taxon abundance of DKD with and without ESRD. Renal dysfunction was estimated by urea, creatinine, and estimated glomerular filtration rate. Psychological distress was assessed using the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale, Self-Rating Depression Scale, Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale, and Hamilton Depression Rating Scale. Results Alpha diversity indexes were reduced in DKD patients, particularly those with ESRD. Beta diversity analysis revealed that the gut microbial compositions of DKD patients were different with healthy individuals whereas similar compositions were observed in DKD patients. Taxon differential analysis showed that when compared with the controls, DKD patients exhibit distinct microbial profiles including reduced abundances of butyrate-produced, anti-inflammatory bacteria Faecalibacterium, Lachnospira, Roseburia Lachnoclostridium, and increased abundances of pro-inflammatory bacteria Collinsella, Streptococcus etc. These distinctive genera presented consistent associations with renal dysfunction, as well as psychological distress, especially in DKD patients. Conclusions DKD patients, especially those who have progressed to ESRD, exhibit unique characteristics in their gut microbiota that are associated with both renal dysfunction and psychological distress. The gut microbiota may be a significant factor in the deterioration of DKD and its eventual progression to ESRD.

Lower energy intake associated with higher risk of cardiovascular mortality in chronic kidney disease patients on a low-protein diets. Nutr J 2024; 23:75. [PMID: 39004744 PMCID: PMC11247864 DOI: 10.1186/s12937-024-00980-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/18/2023] [Accepted: 07/04/2024] [Indexed: 07/16/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE An increasing number of studies shown that inadequate energy intake causes an increase in adverse incidents in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients on low-protein diets (LPD). The study aimed to investigate the relationship between energy intake and cardiovascular mortality in CKD patients on a LPD. METHODS This was a cross-sectional study, a total of 4264 CKD patients were enrolled from the NHANES database between 2009 and 2018. Restricted cubic spline plots and Cox regression analysis were used to analyze the association between energy intake and cardiovascular mortality in CKD patients on a LPD. Additionally, a nomogram was constructed to estimate cardiovascular survival in CKD patients on a LPD. RESULTS Among CKD patients on a LPD in the United States, 90.05% had an energy intake of less than 25 kcal/kg/day, compared to 36.94% in CKD patients on a non-LPD. Energy intake and cardiovascular mortality showed a linear relationship in CKD patients on a LPD, while a 'U-shaped' relationship was observed in CKD patients on a non-LPD. Multifactorial Cox regression models revealed that for Per-standard deviation (Per-SD) decrement in energy intake, the risk of cardiovascular mortality increased by 41% (HR: 1.41, 95% CI: 1.12, 1.77; P = 0.004) in CKD patients on a LPD. The concordance index of the nomogram was 0.79 (95% CI, 0.75, 0.83). CONCLUSION CKD patients, especially those on a LPD, have significantly inadequate energy intake. Lower energy intake is associated with higher cardiovascular mortality in CKD patients on a LPD.

Combined effects of blood pressure and glucose status on the risk of chronic kidney disease. Hypertens Res 2024; 47:1831-1841.

Abstract
This study aimed to assess the combined effects of blood pressure (BP) and glucose status on chronic kidney disease (CKD) incidence in young and middle-aged adults. We examined data from 1,297,341 Japanese individuals aged <60 years (60.1% men; mean age 41.4 ± 9.3 years) with no history of CKD at baseline. The interval-censored Cox proportional hazards model with covariates was used. During a median follow-up period of 2.1 years, new onset CKD (estimated glomerular filtration rate <60 ml/min/1.73 m2 and/or proteinuria) occurred in 80,187 participants. In participants without antihypertensive treatment (AHT), the adjusted hazard ratios (95% confidence interval) per 1-standard deviation, that is, 15 mmHg increase in systolic BP for CKD incidence, were 1.08 (1.07-1.09), 1.12 (1.10-1.13), and 1.15 (1.12-1.18) in normoglycemia, borderline glycemia, and diabetes groups, respectively. These ratios were significantly higher in the borderline glycemia and diabetes groups compared with those in the normoglycemia group (interaction p < 0.0001). The interaction between BP and borderline glycemia was evident when the outcome definition was restricted to proteinuria. In participants under AHT, systolic BP was most strongly associated with CKD risk in the diabetes group, although no significant interaction was observed. High BP and high glucose status may synergistically increase the incidence of CKD. Strict BP management may play an important role in the early prevention of CKD in individuals with worse glucose status within the young and middle-aged population. This large-scale longitudinal cohort study showed high BP and diabetes synergistically increased the risk of CKD in individuals without AHT. Strict BP management may play an important role in the early prevention of CKD in individuals with worse glucose status within the young and middle-aged population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Volume overload is common and associated with high mortality in patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD). Traditional strategies including diuretics, water/salt restriction, and icodextrin-based solutions cannot always fully correct this condition, necessitating novel alternative strategies. Recent studies confirmed the expression of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) in the human peritoneum. Experimental data suggest that SGLT2 inhibitors decrease glucose absorption from the PD solution, thereby increasing the ultrafiltration volume. This trial aims to assess whether SGLT2 inhibitors increase the ultrafiltration volume in patients on PD. METHODS The EMPOWERED trial (trial registration: jRCTs051230081) is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover trial. Patients with clinically diagnosed chronic heart failure are eligible regardless of the presence of diabetes if they use at least 3 L/day glucose-based PD solutions. Participants will be randomly assigned (1:1) to receive empagliflozin 10 mg once daily and then placebo or vice versa. Each treatment period will last 8 weeks with a 4-week washout period. This study will recruit at least 36 randomized participants. The primary endpoint is the change in the daily ultrafiltration volume from baseline to week 8 in each intervention period. The key secondary endpoints include changes in the biomarkers of drained PD solutions, renal residual function, and anemia-related parameters. CONCLUSIONS This trial aims to assess the benefit of SGLT2 inhibitors in fluid management with a novel mechanism of action in patients on PD. It will also provide insights into the effects of SGLT2 inhibitors on solute transport across the peritoneal membrane and residual renal function.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a growing global public health challenge worldwide. In Mexico, CKD prevalence is alarmingly high and remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Diabetic kidney disease (DKD), a severe complication of diabetes, is a leading determinant of CKD. The escalating diabetes prevalence and the complex regional landscape in Mexico underscore the pressing need for tailored strategies to reduce the burden of CKD. This narrative review, endorsed by the Mexican College of Nephrologists, aims to provide a brief overview and specific strategies for healthcare providers regarding preventing, screening, and treating CKD in patients living with diabetes in all care settings. The key topics covered in this review include the main cardiometabolic contributors of DKD (overweight/obesity, hyperglycemia, arterial hypertension, and dyslipidemia), the identification of kidney-related damage markers, and the benefit of novel pharmacological approaches based on Sodium-Glucose Co-Transporter-2 Inhibitors (SGLT2i) and Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonists (GLP-1 RA). We also address the potential use of novel therapies based on Mineralocorticoid Receptor Antagonists (MRAs) and their future implications. Emphasizing the importance of multidisciplinary treatment, this narrative review aims to promote strategies that may be useful to alleviate the burden of DKD and its associated complications. It underscores the critical role of healthcare providers and advocates for collaborative efforts to enhance the quality of life for millions of patients affected by DKD.

Effect of Avenciguat on Albuminuria in Patients with CKD: Two Randomized Placebo-Controlled Trials. J Am Soc Nephrol 2024; 35:00001751-990000000-00331. [PMID: 38795055 PMCID: PMC11387026 DOI: 10.1681/asn.0000000000000418] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/23/2024] [Accepted: 05/23/2024] [Indexed: 05/27/2024] Open
Abstract
Key Points
Despite new treatments for CKD, kidney failure risk remains high, particularly where albuminuria remains.We report a prespecified pooled analysis of two randomized controlled trials assessing a soluble guanylate cyclase activator for CKD.Avenciguat led to improvements in albuminuria in patients with CKD with/without type 2 diabetes mellitus, with acceptable safety.
Background
Avenciguat is a novel, potent soluble guanylate cyclase activator in development for CKD. Two trials investigated avenciguat in diabetic (NCT04750577) and non-diabetic (NCT04736628) CKD.
Methods
A prespecified pooled analysis of two randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials of identical design. Adults with CKD (eGFR ≥20 and <90 ml/min per 1.73 m2, urine albumin–creatinine ratio [UACR] ≥200 and <3500 mg/g) were randomized to 20 weeks of placebo or avenciguat 1, 2, or 3 mg three times daily (TID), adjunctive to angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor or angiotensin receptor blocker. The primary end point was change from baseline in UACR in 10-hour urine at week 20, analyzed per protocol. The secondary end point was UACR change from baseline in first morning void urine at week 20. Safety was monitored throughout.
Results
Overall, 500 patients (mean age 62 years [SD 13]; mean eGFR 44 ml/min per 1.73 m2 [SD 18] and median 10-hour UACR 719 [interquartile range, 379–1285] mg/g) received placebo (n=122) or avenciguat 1 mg (n=125), 2 mg (n=126), or 3 mg (n=127) TID. All 243 patients in study one and 27 of 261 patients in study two had diabetes mellitus. Avenciguat 1, 2, and 3 mg TID reduced UACR in 10-hour and first morning void urine versus placebo throughout the treatment period. At week 20, placebo-corrected geometric mean changes (95% confidence interval) from baseline in UACR in 10-hour urine with avenciguat 1, 2, and 3 mg TID were −15.5% (−26.4 to −3.0), −13.2% (−24.6 to −0.1), and −21.5% (−31.7 to −9.8), respectively, analyzed per protocol. Corresponding changes in first morning void urine were −19.4% (−30.0 to −7.3), −15.5% (−26.9 to −2.5), and −23.4% (−33.5 to −11.8), respectively. Avenciguat was well tolerated; the overall frequency of adverse events was low and similar to placebo. The number of patients who discontinued the study drug because of adverse events with avenciguat 1, 2, and 3 mg TID were five (4%), 11 (9%), and 11 (9%), respectively, compared with four (3%) in the placebo group.
Conclusions
Avenciguat lowered albuminuria and was well tolerated in patients with CKD.

Wright EE, Nicholas SB. Making treatment guideline recommendations in chronic kidney disease and type 2 diabetes more accessible to primary care providers in the United States. Postgrad Med 2024; 136:347-357.

Abstract
Clinical practice guidelines for the management of chronic kidney disease (CKD) associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D) are designed to assist healthcare professionals with clinical decision making by providing recommendations on the screening, detection, management, and treatment of these conditions. However, primary care practitioners (PCPs) may have clinical inertia when it comes to routinely enacting CKD and T2D guideline recommendations in their clinical practices. Guideline developers have published a range of resources with the aim of facilitating easier access to guideline recommendations to support efficient and consistent implementation into clinical practice of PCPs. Challenges remain in providing strategies to reduce inertia in the application of guideline recommendations in primary care. In this review, we explore reasons behind the low level of awareness and poor uptake of published evidence-based care approaches to the optimal management of patients with T2D and CKD. Finally, we present suggestions on strategies to improve the implementation of guideline-directed recommendations in primary care.

The associations of weekend warrior and other physical activity patterns with the risk of all-cause and cardiovascular disease mortality in people with diabetes mellitus and chronic kidney disease: from NHANES 2007-2020. Int Urol Nephrol 2024; 56:1703-1712.

Abstract
AIM To investigate the associations of the weekend warrior and other physical activity (PA) patterns with all-cause, cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality risk in people with diabetes mellitus (DM) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). METHODS This study pooled the data from NHANES 2007-2020. Participants with DM and CKD were included. PA was assessed using a self-reported questionnaire. According to the characteristics of recreational activities, individuals were categorized as inactive (no activities), insufficiently active (total PA duration < 150 min/week), weekend warrior (total PA duration ≥ 150 min/week for 1-2 sessions), and regularly active (total PA duration ≥ 150 min/week for ≥ 3 sessions). Weighted Cox regression models with adjusting sociodemographic, behavioral, and metabolic factors were performed to investigate the relationship of PA patterns with all-cause and CVD mortality risk. Stratification and interaction analyses were further performed. RESULTS Among 1702 participants (46.53% female; 64 ± 0.46 years old), 536 died (163 cardiovascular) during the follow-up of 68 (39-104) months. The hazard ratio (HR) of all-cause death was 0.618 (95% CI 0.406-0.942) for insufficiently active PA pattern, 0.338 (95% CI 0.116-0.988) for weekend warrior PA pattern, and 0.536 (95% CI 0.395-0.726) for regularly active PA pattern compared with inactive PA pattern. HR of CVD death was 0.545 (95% CI 0.250-1.189) for the PA pattern of insufficiently active, 0.165 (95% CI 0.020-1.343) for weekend warrior, and 0.393 (95% CI 0.218-0.710) for regularly active compared with the inactive PA pattern. The associations present no difference in subgroups. Moreover, there was no discernible difference between weekend warrior and regularly active PA patterns for all-cause and CVD deaths. The risk of death declined relatively quickly When exercise was initiated and to a total of 450 min or 4 times per week. CONCLUSION In a population of DM and CKD, the weekend warrior pattern was similar to regular activity to lower the risk of all-cause mortality, compared with inactivity. The weekend warrior pattern was recommended for people who only have time to exercise on the weekend. However, longer and larger sample cohort studies are needed to validate our findings.

Abstract
PURPOSE This retrospective study aimed to investigate the relationship between alternative insulin resistance (IR) indexes not reliant on insulin and diabetic kidney disease (DKD) incidence in a newly diagnosed cohort of individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS We conducted a retrospective analysis of baseline characteristics in a cohort of 521 individuals with T2DM, then followed up on the outcome of DKD. To assess the predictive ability of IR indexes, we compared the performance of four non-insulin-based IR indexes and the homeostasis model for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) using logistic regression and consistency-statistics (C-statistics). Furthermore, we computed the net reclassification index (NRI) and integrated discrimination improvement (IDI) to evaluate the additional effects of the indexes. RESULTS The four alternative IR indexes of DKD patients were significantly higher than those of non-DKD. After adjustment for other variables, the highest tertile of all indexes was significantly related to DKD incidence, compared with the lowest tertile. Furthermore, the C-statistics for the triglyceride-glucose index (TyG index) and triglyceride to high-density lipoprotein ratio (TG/HDL) were all 0.652, while triglyceride glucose-body mass index (TyG-BMI) and metabolic score for insulin resistance (METS-IR) were 0.639 and 0.651, respectively. The incorporation of the alternative IR indexes into the baseline model revealed positive additional effects, leading to an improved prediction of the risk for DKD. CONCLUSIONS It was discovered that the alternative IR indexes served as independent risk factors of DKD. Among the four alternative indexes, TyG index and TG/HDL had the best prediction performance for DKD, followed by METS-IR.

Abstract
We are entering a new era in the management of adiposity-based chronic disease (ABCD) with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and related chronic kidney disease (CKD). ABCD, T2D and CKD can affect almost every major organ system and have a particularly strong impact on the incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and heart failure. ABCD and the associated insulin resistance are at the root of many cardiovascular, renal and metabolic (CKM) disorders, thus an integrated therapeutic framework using weight loss (WL) as a disease-modifying intervention could simplify the therapeutic approach at different stages across the lifespan. The breakthrough of highly effective WL drugs makes achieving a WL of >10% possible, which is required for a potential T2D disease remission as well as for prevention of microvascular disease, CKD, CVD events and overall mortality. The aim of this review is to discuss the link between adiposity and CKM conditions as well as placing weight management at the centre of the holistic CKM syndrome approach with a focus on CKD. We propose the clinical translation of the available evidence into a transformative Dysfunctional Adipose Tissue Approach (DATA) for people living with ABCD, T2D and CKD. This model is based on the interplay of four essential elements (i.e. adipocentric approach and target organ protection, dysfunctional adiposity, glucose homeostasis, and lifestyle intervention and de-prescription) together with a multidisciplinary person-centred care. DATA could facilitate decision-making for all clinicians involved in the management of these individuals, and if we do this in a multidisciplinary way, we are prepared to meet the adipocentric challenge.

Abstract
Chronic kidney diseases (CKD) present a formidable global health challenge, characterized by a deficiency of effective treatment options. Extracellular vesicles (EVs), recognized as multifunctional drug delivery systems in biomedicine, have gained accumulative interest. Specifically, engineered EVs have emerged as a promising therapeutic approach for targeted drug delivery, potentially addressing the complexities of CKD management. In this review, we systematically dissect EVs, elucidating their classification, biogenesis, composition, and cargo molecules. Furthermore, we explore techniques for EV engineering and strategies for their precise renal delivery, focusing on cargo loading and transportation, providing a comprehensive perspective. Moreover, this review also discusses and summarizes the diverse therapeutic applications of engineered EVs in CKD, emphasizing their anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, renoprotective, and tissue-regenerating effects. It critically evaluates the challenges and limitations in translating EV therapies from laboratory settings to clinical applications, while outlining future prospects and emerging trends.

Abstract
AIM Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have emerged as a vital part of management of type 2 diabetes, as they have been shown to have both cardiovascular and renal benefits along with an improved survival rate in several randomized clinical trials. We designed a retrospective cohort study to investigate the impact of SGLT2 inhibitors on mortality among type 2 diabetes patients. METHODS Patients with type 2 diabetes who presented to the Dasman Diabetes Institute in Kuwait were followed from January 1st, 2015, until January 20th, 2023. To control for non-random allocation of SGLT2 inhibitors and measured confounders, we performed one-to-one propensity score matching and evaluated outcomes in the matched cohorts using a Cox proportional hazards model. The primary treatment variable was SGLT2 inhibitor use; time to mortality from any cause was used as the outcome of interest. RESULTS 1,551 patients were taking SGLT2 inhibitors, and 1,687 patients were not. After propensity score matching, 845 patients were on SGLT2 inhibitors, and 845 patients were not. In post-matching analysis, all-cause mortality was higher among patients who did not take SGLT2 inhibitors compared to patients taking SGLT2 inhibitors (5.2 vs. 2.1%, p = 0.0012). The hazard ratio of all-cause mortality in patients taking SGLT2 inhibitors was 0.42 (95% confidence interval [95% CI], 0.24-0.72). Additional adjustment of matching factors did not change the results. CONCLUSION This observational study demonstrated substantial long-term reduction in mortality risk among patients with type 2 diabetes treated with SGLT2 inhibitors. This is irrespective of the stage of their renal diseases or GLP1 agonist.

Abstract
Background Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) has become the leading cause of kidney failure, causing a significant socioeconomic burden worldwide. The usual care for DKD fails to achieve satisfactory effects in delaying the persistent loss of renal function. A Chinese herbal medicine, Tangshen Qushi Formula (TQF), showed preliminary clinical benefits with a sound safety profile for people with stage 2-4 DKD. We present the protocol of an ongoing clinical trial investigating the feasibility, efficacy, and safety of TQF compared to placebo in delaying the progressive decline of renal function for people with stage 2-4 DKD. Methods A mixed methods research design will be used in this study. A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled pilot trial will evaluate the feasibility, efficacy, and safety of TQF compared to placebo on kidney function for people with stage 2-4 DKD. An embedded semi-structured interview will explore the acceptability of TQF granules and trial procedures from the participant's perspective. Sixty eligible participants with stage 2-4 DKD will be randomly allocated to the treatment group (TQF plus usual care) or the control group (TQF placebo plus usual care) at a 1:1 ratio for 48-week treatment and 12-week follow-up. Participants will be assessed every 12 weeks. The feasibility will be assessed as the primary outcome. The changes in the estimated glomerular filtration rate, urinary protein/albumin, renal function, glycemic and lipid markers, renal composite endpoint events, and dampness syndrome of Chinese medicine will be assessed as the efficacy outcomes. Safety outcomes such as liver function, serum potassium, and adverse events will also be evaluated. The data and safety monitoring board will be responsible for the participants' benefits, the data's credibility, and the results' validity. The intent-to-treat and per-protocol analysis will be performed as the primary statistical strategy.

Abstract
1 in 7 American adults have chronic kidney disease (CKD); a disease that increases risk for CKD progression, cardiovascular events, and mortality. Currently, the US Preventative Services Task Force does not have a screening recommendation, though evidence suggests that screening can prevent progression and is cost-effective. Populations at risk for CKD, such as those with hypertension, diabetes, and age greater than 50 years should be targeted for screening. CKD is diagnosed and risk stratified with estimated glomerular filtration rate utilizing serum creatinine and measuring urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio. Once identified, CKD is staged according to C-G-A classification, and managed with lifestyle modification, interdisciplinary care and the recently expanding repertoire of pharmacotherapy which includes angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin-II receptor blockers, sodium-glucose-cotransporter-2 inhibitors, and mineralocorticorticoid receptor antagonists. In this paper, we present the why, who, when, how, and what of CKD screening.

Efficacy and safety of Abelmoschus manihot capsule combined with ACEI/ARB on diabetic kidney disease: a systematic review and meta analysis. Front Pharmacol 2024; 14:1288159. [PMID: 38249351 PMCID: PMC10796716 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2023.1288159] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/03/2023] [Accepted: 12/13/2023] [Indexed: 01/23/2024] Open
Abstract
Background: Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is one of the most serious microvascular complications of diabetes, with the incidence rate increasing yearly, which is the leading cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage kidney disease. Abelmoschus Manihot capsule, as a proprietary Chinese patent medicine, is widely used for treating CKD in China. Currently, the combination of Abelmoschus Manihot (AM) capsule and renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitor (RASI) has gained popularity as a treatment option for DKD, with more and more randomized control trials (RCTs) in progress. However, the high-quality clinical evidence supporting its application in DKD is still insufficient. Aim of the study: To comprehensively and systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of AM capsule combined with RASI in the treatment of DKD. Materials and methods: English and Chinese databases such as Pubmed, Cochrane Library, Embase, CNKI, SinoMed, WF, and VIP were searched to collect the RCTs of AM capsule in treatment of DKD. Then Two investigators independently reviewed and extracted data from the RCTs which met the inclusion criteria. The quality of the data was assessed using the Cochrane risk of bias assessment tool, and meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4 software. Results: 32 RCTs with a total of 2,881 DKD patients (1,442 in the treatment group and 1,439 in the control group) were included. The study results showed that AM capsule combined with RASI could be more effective in decreasing 24h-UTP [MD = -442.05, 95% CI (-609.72, -274.38), p < 0.00001], UAER [MD = -30.53, 95% CI (-39.10, -21.96), p < 0.00001], UACR [MD = -157.93, 95% CI (-288.60, -27.25), p < 0.00001], Scr [MD = -6.80, 95% CI (-9.85, -3.74), p < 0.0001], and BUN [MD = -0.59, 95% CI (-1.07, -0.12), p = 0.01], compared to using RASI alone. According to the subgroup analyses, the combination of AM and ARB seems to be more effective in reducing UAER than the combination of ACEI, and the addition of AM may achieve a more significant clinical effect on decreasing Scr for DKD patients with 24h-UTP>2 g or Scr>110-133 μmol/L and >133 μmol/L. Furthermore, no additional adverse reactions were observed in the combination group [OR = 1.06; 95%CI: (0.66, 1.69), p = 0.82]. Conclusion: Combining AM with RASI may be a superior strategy for DKD treatment compared to RASI monotherapy. However, due to significant heterogeneity, the results should be interpreted with great caution, and more high-quality RCTs with multi-centers, different stages of DKD, large sample sizes, and long follow-up periods are still needed to improve the evidence quality of AM for DKD in the future.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Physical inactivity is prevalent among individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and is linked to unfavorable outcomes. In recent years, daily steps have emerged as a prominent target for interventions in clinical trials. The present study endeavors to scrutinize the effectiveness and/or efficacy of various interventions on daily steps in patients with full-spectrum CKD. METHODS In December 2022, a systematic search was conducted across three databases, namely PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science, and subsequently updated in June 2023. The inclusion criteria included randomized controlled studies, quasi-experimental studies, and single-arm trials that assessed an intervention's impact on objectively measured daily steps in patients with chronic kidney disease. The Risk Of Bias In Non-randomized Studies-of Interventions (ROBINS-I) tool was used to assess the risk of bias in non-randomized controlled trials (RCT), while the Cochrane revised tool (ROB-2) was utilized for RCTs. RESULTS Seventeen studies were deemed eligible for inclusion in this review, with a focus on examining the efficacy and/or effectiveness of exercise training-based interventions (n = 10), daily step goal-oriented interventions (n = 4), mobile health (mHealth) interventions (n = 1), different dialysis modalities (n = 1), and a "Sit Less, Interact, Move More" intervention (n = 1). The studies exhibit variability in their characteristics and assessment tools, reflecting the findings' heterogeneity. The results indicate that increasing physical activity levels remain challenging, as only a limited number of studies demonstrated significant improvements in participants' daily step counts from baseline to endpoint. CONCLUSION Clinical trials with daily steps as an outcome are still lacking in the CKD population. Well-designed clinical trials that objectively assess the physical activity of CKD patients are needed.

Abstract
Diabetes is the leading cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and kidney failure worldwide. CKD frequently coexists with heart failure and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease in the broader context of cardio-kidney-metabolic syndrome. Diabetes and CKD are associated with increased risk of all-cause and cardiovascular death as well as decreased quality of life. The role of metabolic and hemodynamic abnormalities has long been recognized as an important contributor to the pathogenesis and progression of CKD in diabetes, while a more recent and growing body of evidence supports activation of both systemic and local inflammation as important contributors. Current guidelines recommend therapies targeting pathomechanisms of CKD in addition to management of traditional risk factors such as hyperglycemia and hypertension. Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors are recommended for treatment of patients with CKD and type 2 diabetes (T2D) if eGFR is ≥20 ml/min/173 m2 on a background of renin-angiotensin system inhibition. For patients with T2D, CKD, and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist is recommended as additional risk-based therapy. A non-steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist is also recommended as additional risk-based therapy for persistent albuminuria in patients with T2D already treated with renin-angiotensin system inhibition. Implementation of guideline-directed medical therapies is challenging in the face of rapidly accumulating knowledge, high cost of medications, and lack of infrastructure for optimal healthcare delivery. Furthermore, studies of new therapies have focused on T2D and CKD. Clinical trials are now planned to inform the role of these therapies in people with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and CKD.

Abstract
Diabetes is the most common cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD), a condition found in 850 million persons and projected to become the fifth global cause of death by 2040. Research is needed that examines kidney tissue to characterize distinct phenotypes in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) and CKD so as to identify non-invasive biomarker signatures and develop targeted therapeutic approaches. However, from a routine care point of view, kidney biopsy is likely overused in patients with CKD and DM, as most biopsy results are not expected to be associated with a therapeutic approach that differs from standard kidney protection with triple or quadruple therapy (renin-angiotensin system blockade, sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors, nonsteroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists). Moreover, expanding the kidney biopsy criteria will increase the absolute number of complications from kidney biopsies, which may reach 27 000 to 108 000 deaths of persons that would derive little benefit from kidney biopsy if all people with DM and severe CKD were biopsied globally. Finally, limited resources should be optimally allocated. The cost of one kidney biopsy can fund 7000 semiquantitative urinary albumin:creatinine ratio assessments that could identify earlier stages of the disease and allow treatment that prevents progression to a stage at which kidney biopsy may be considered.

Abstract
PURPOSE One in seven Americans is at risk for chronic kidney disease (CKD). For decades, the only treatment proven to slow progression of CKD was the use of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors. Based on promising secondary kidney outcomes in the cardiovascular outcome trials with sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors, kidney outcome trials in patients with CKD were published for canagliflozin, dapagliflozin, and empagliflozin. METHODS A literature search was conducted of PubMed using the MeSH terms "Sodium-Glucose Transporter 2 Inhibitors" and "Renal Insufficiency, Chronic" and looking for clinical trials, meta-analyses, or randomized controlled trials in humans between 2015 and 2023. FINDINGS Primary and secondary outcomes from CREDENCE (Canagliflozin and Renal Events in Diabetes with Established Nephropathy Clinical Evaluation), DAPA-CKD (Dapagliflozin and Prevention of Adverse Outcomes in Chronic Kidney Disease), and EMPA-KIDNEY (Empagliflozin in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease) are described along with complete descriptions of the patient populations studied. IMPLICATIONS This review describes the role of sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors in slowing the progression of CKD, describes guideline changes that have occurred because of these data, and provides information on how these agents may be used clinically.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Whether biomarkers of tubular injury and inflammation indicate subclinical structural kidney pathology early in type 1 diabetes remains unknown. METHODS We investigated associations of biomarkers of tubular injury and inflammation with kidney structural features in 244 adults with type 1 diabetes from the Renin-Angiotensin System Study, a randomized, placebo-controlled trial testing effects of enalapril or losartan on changes in glomerular, tubulointerstitial, and vascular parameters from baseline to 5-year kidney biopsies. Biosamples at biopsy were assessed for kidney injury molecule 1 (KIM-1), soluble TNF receptor 1 (sTNFR1), arginine-to-citrulline ratio in plasma, and uromodulin and epidermal growth factor (EGF) in urine. We examined cross-sectional correlations between biomarkers and biopsy features and baseline biomarker associations with 5-year changes in biopsy features. RESULTS Participants' mean age was 30 years (SD 10) and diabetes duration 11 years (SD 5); 53% were women. The mean GFR measured by iohexol disappearance was 128 ml/min per 1.73 m 2 (SD 19) and median urinary albumin excretion was 5 μ g/min (interquartile range, 3-8). KIM-1 was associated with most biopsy features: higher mesangial fractional volume (0.5% [95% confidence interval (CI), 0.1 to 0.9] greater per SD KIM-1), glomerular basement membrane (GBM) width (14.2 nm [95% CI, 6.5 to 22.0] thicker), cortical interstitial fractional volume (1.1% [95% CI, 0.6 to 1.6] greater), fractional volume of cortical atrophic tubules (0.6% [95% CI, 0.2 to 0.9] greater), and arteriolar hyalinosis index (0.03 [95% CI, 0.1 to 0.05] higher). sTNFR1 was associated with higher mesangial fractional volume (0.9% [95% CI, 0.5 to 1.3] greater) and GBM width (12.5 nm [95% CI, 4.5 to 20.5] thicker) and lower GBM surface density (0.003 μ m 2 / μ m 3 [95% CI, 0.005 to 0.001] lesser). EGF and arginine-to-citrulline ratio correlated with severity of glomerular and tubulointerstitial features. Baseline sTNFR1, uromodulin, and EGF concentrations were associated with 5-year glomerular and tubulointerstitial feature progression. CONCLUSIONS Biomarkers of tubular injury and inflammation were associated with kidney structural parameters in early type 1 diabetes and may be indicators of kidney disease risk.

Abstract
Since the early 2000s, an influx of novel glucose-lowering agents has changed the therapeutic landscape for treatment of diabetes and diabetes-related complications. Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists represent an important therapeutic class for the management of type 2 diabetes (T2D), demonstrating benefits beyond glycemic control, including lowering of blood pressure and body weight, and importantly, decreased risk of development of new or worsening chronic kidney disease (CKD) and reduced rates of atherosclerotic cardiovascular events. Plausible non-glycemic mechanisms that benefit the heart and kidneys with GLP-1 receptor agonists include anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. Further supporting their use in CKD, the glycemic benefits of GLP-1 receptor agonists are preserved in moderate-to-severe CKD. Considering current evidence, major guideline-forming organizations recommend the use of GLP-1 receptor agonists in cases of T2D and CKD, especially in those with obesity and/or in those with high cardiovascular risk or established heart disease. Evidence continues to build that supports benefits to the heart and kidneys of the dual GLP-1/glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptor agonist tirzepatide. Ongoing outcome and mechanistic studies will continue to inform our understanding of the role of GLP-1 and dual GLP-1/GIP receptor agonists in diverse patient populations with kidney disease.

Speedtsberg ES, Tepel M. Narrative review investigating the nephroprotective mechanisms of sodium glucose cotransporter type 2 inhibitors in diabetic and nondiabetic patients with chronic kidney disease.

Abstract
Background and aims Outcome trials using sodium glucose cotransporter type 2 inhibitors have consistently shown their potential to preserve kidney function in diabetic and nondiabetic patients. Several mechanisms have been introduced which may explain the nephroprotective effect of sodium glucose cotransporter type 2 inhibitors beyond lowering blood glucose. This current narrative review has the objective to describe main underlying mechanisms causing a nephroprotective effect and to show similarities as well as differences between proposed mechanisms which can be observed in patients with diabetic and nondiabetic chronic kidney disease. Methods We performed a narrative review of the literature on Pubmed and Embase. The research string comprised various combinations of items including "chronic kidney disease", "sodium glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor" and "mechanisms". We searched for original research and review articles published until march, 2022. The databases were searched independently and the agreements by two authors were jointly obtained. Results Sodium glucose cotransporter type 2 inhibitors show systemic, hemodynamic, and metabolic effects. Systemic effects include reduction of blood pressure without compensatory activation of the sympathetic nervous system. Hemodynamic effects include restoration of tubuloglomerular feedback which may improve pathologic hyperfiltration observed in most cases with chronic kidney disease. Current literature indicates that SGLT2i may not improve cortical oxygenation and may reduce medullar oxygenation. Conclusion Sodium glucose cotransporter type 2 inhibitors cause nephroprotective effects by several mechanisms. However, several mediators which are involved in the underlying pathophysiology may be different between diabetic and nondiabetic patients.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) represents a global public health crisis, but awareness by patients and providers is poor. Defined as persistent abnormalities in kidney structure or function for more than three months, manifested as either low glomerular filtration rate or presence of a marker of kidney damage such as albuminuria, CKD can be identified through readily available blood and urine tests. Early recognition of CKD is crucial for harnessing major advances in staging, prognosis, and treatment. This review discusses the evidence behind the general principles of CKD management, such as blood pressure and glucose control, renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system blockade, statin therapy, and dietary management. It additionally describes individualized approaches to treatment based on risk of kidney failure and cause of CKD. Finally, it reviews novel classes of kidney protective agents including sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors, glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, non-steroidal selective mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists, and endothelin receptor antagonists. Appropriate, widespread implementation of these highly effective therapies should improve the lives of people with CKD and decrease the worldwide incidence of kidney failure.

Effect of Antidiabetic Drugs on Bone Health in Patients with Normal Renal Function and in Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD): Insight into Clinical Challenges in the Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes. J Clin Med 2023; 12:7260. [PMID: 38068310 PMCID: PMC10707671 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12237260] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/14/2023] [Revised: 10/29/2023] [Accepted: 11/04/2023] [Indexed: 09/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Among the metabolic changes occurring during the course of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and diabetic kidney disease (DKD), impaired bone health with consequent increased fracture risk is one of the most complex and multifactorial complications. In subjects with diabetic kidney disease, skeletal abnormalities may develop as a consequence of both conditions. In the attempt to define a holistic approach to diabetes, potential effects of various classes of antidiabetic drugs on the skeleton should be considered in the setting of normal kidney function and in DKD. We reviewed the main evidence on these specific topics. Experimental studies reported potential beneficial and harmful effects on bone by different antidiabetics, with few data available in DKD. Clinical studies specifically designed to evaluate skeletal effects of antidiabetics have not been performed; notwithstanding, data gleaned from randomized controlled trials and intervention studies did not completely confirm observations made by basic research. In the aggregate, evidence from meta-analyses of these studies suggests potential positive effects on fracture risk by metformin and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, neutral effects by dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors, sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors, and sulfonylureas, and negative effects by insulin and thiazolidinediones. As no clinical recommendations on the management of antidiabetic drugs currently include fracture risk assessment among the main goal of therapy, we propose an integrated approach with the aim of defining a patient-centered management of diabetes in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and non-CKD patients. Future clinical evidence on the skeletal effects of antidiabetics will help in optimizing the approach to a personalized and more effective therapy of diabetes.

Ashjian E, Clarke M, Pogue K. Pharmacotherapy considerations with finerenone in the treatment of chronic kidney disease associated with type 2 diabetes. Am J Health Syst Pharm 2023; 80:1708-1721.

Abstract
PURPOSE This review provides an overview of the management of chronic kidney disease (CKD) associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D), how the novel treatment class of nonsteroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs) fits within the treatment landscape, and how pharmacists can contribute to the multidisciplinary care of patients with CKD associated with T2D. SUMMARY Optimizing pharmacotherapy for patients with CKD associated with T2D is critical to prevent or slow progression to end-stage kidney disease and reduce the incidence of cardiovascular events. However, many patients with CKD receive suboptimal treatment, in part because of the high complexity of care required, a lack of disease recognition among providers and patients, and a failure to utilize new kidney-protective therapies. Finerenone is the first nonsteroidal, selective MRA to be approved by the US Food and Drug Administration and the European Medicines Agency for the treatment of adult patients with CKD associated with T2D. Clinical trials have demonstrated that finerenone significantly reduces the risk of cardiorenal disease progression vs placebo and has a reduced risk of hyperkalemia compared to traditional steroidal MRAs. Initiation of finerenone should follow evaluation of baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate and serum potassium levels. Consideration of potential drug-drug interactions, follow-up monitoring of potassium levels, and coordination of changes in pharmacotherapy across the patient care team are also important. CONCLUSION Finerenone is a valuable addition to the treatment landscape for CKD associated with T2D. Through their expertise in -medication -management, transitions of care, and patient education, clinical pharmacists are well positioned to ensure patients receive safe and effective -treatment.
