Evaluating biomarkers for contrast-induced nephropathy following coronary interventions: an umbrella review on meta-analyses. Eur J Med Res 2024; 29:210. [PMID: 38561791 PMCID: PMC10983745 DOI: 10.1186/s40001-024-01782-y] [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: 01/16/2024] [Accepted: 03/10/2024] [Indexed: 04/04/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is a form of acute kidney injury (AKI) occurring in patients undergoing cardiac catheterization, such as coronary angiography (CAG) or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Although the conventional criterion for CIN detection involves a rise in creatinine levels within 72 h after contrast media injection, several limitations exist in this definition. Up to now, various meta-analyses have been undertaken to assess the accuracy of different biomarkers of CIN prediction. However, the existing body of research lacks a cohesive overview. To address this gap, a comprehensive umbrella review was necessary to consolidate and summarize the outcomes of prior meta-analyses. This umbrella study aimed to offer a current, evidence-based understanding of the prognostic value of biomarkers in predicting CIN. METHODS A systematic search of international databases, including PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science, from inception to December 12, 2023, was conducted to identify meta-analyses assessing biomarkers for CIN prediction. Our own meta-analysis was performed by extracting data from the included studies. Sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio, and negative likelihood ratio were assessed using Meta-Disc and CMA softwares. RESULTS Twelve studies were ultimately included in the umbrella review. The results revealed that neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) exhibited the highest area under the curve (AUC), followed by cystatin-C, urinary kidney injury molecule-1 (uKIM-1), and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) with AUCs of 0.91, 0.89, 0.85, and 0.80, respectively. NGAL also demonstrated the highest positive likelihood ratio [effect size (ES): 6.02, 95% CI 3.86-9.40], followed by cystatin-C, uKIM-1, and BNP [ES: 4.35 (95% CI 2.85-6.65), 3.58 (95% CI 2.75-4.66), and 2.85 (95% CI 2.13-3.82), respectively]. uKIM-1 and cystatin-C had the lowest negative likelihood ratio, followed by NGAL and BNP [ES: 0.25 (95% CI 0.17-0.37), ES: 0.25 (95% CI 0.13-0.50), ES: 0.26 (95% CI 0.17-0.41), and ES: 0.39 (0.28-0.53) respectively]. NGAL emerged as the biomarker with the highest diagnostic odds ratio for CIN, followed by cystatin-C, uKIM-1, BNP, gamma-glutamyl transferase, hypoalbuminemia, contrast media volume to creatinine clearance ratio, preprocedural hyperglycemia, red cell distribution width (RDW), hyperuricemia, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, C-reactive protein (CRP), high-sensitivity CRP, and low hematocrit (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION NGAL demonstrated superior diagnostic performance, exhibiting the highest AUC, positive likelihood ratio, and diagnostic odds ratio among biomarkers for CIN, followed by cystatin-C, and uKIM-1. These findings underscore the potential clinical utility of NGAL, cystatin-C and uKIM-1 in predicting and assessing CIN.

Predictors of Kidney Function Outcomes and Their Relation to SGLT2 Inhibitor Dapagliflozin in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Who Had Chronic Heart Failure. Adv Ther 2024; 41:292-314. [PMID: 37935870 PMCID: PMC10796534 DOI: 10.1007/s12325-023-02683-y] [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: 07/27/2023] [Accepted: 09/07/2023] [Indexed: 11/09/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) have a favorable impact on the kidney function in patients with heart failure (HF), while there is no clear evidence of what factors predict this effect. The aim of the study was to identify plausible predictors for kidney function outcome among patients with HF and investigate their association with SGLT2i. METHODS We prospectively enrolled 480 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) treated with diet and metformin and concomitant chronic HF and followed them for 52 weeks. In the study, we determined kidney outcome as a composite of ≥ 40% reduced estimated glomerular filtration rate from baseline, newly diagnosed end-stage kidney disease or kidney replacement therapy. The relevant medical information and measurement of the biomarkers (N-terminal natriuretic pro-peptide, irisin, apelin, adropin, C-reactive protein, tumor necrosis factor-alpha) were collected at baseline and at the end of the study. RESULTS The composite kidney outcome was detected in 88 (18.3%) patients of the entire population. All patients received guideline-recommended optimal therapy, which was adjusted to phenotype/severity of HF, cardiovascular risk and comorbidity profiles, and fasting glycemia. Levels of irisin, adropin and apelin significantly increased in patients without clinical endpoint, whereas in those with composite endpoint the biomarker levels exhibited a decrease with borderline statistical significance (p = 0.05). We noticed that irisin ≤ 4.50 ng/ml at baseline and a ≤ 15% increase in irisin serum levels added more valuable predictive information than the reference variable. However, the combination of irisin ≤ 4.50 ng/ml at baseline and ≤ 15% increase in irisin serum levels (area under curve = 0.91; 95% confidence interval = 0.87-0.95) improved the discriminative value of each biomarker alone. CONCLUSION We suggest that low levels of irisin and its inadequate increase during administration of SGLT2i are promising predictors for unfavorable kidney outcome among patients with T2DM and concomitant HF.

Abstract
Background Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP)/N-terminal-pro hormone brain natriuretic peptides (NT-proBNP) enable risk stratification, diagnosing, and monitoring of heart failure patients. An additional prognostic value for BNP/NT-proBNP in nonheart failure patients and general population cohorts is described in the literature, but specific cut-off levels are only described for heart failure patients. Objectives This study aimed to determine thresholds for risk stratification in nonheart failure patients. Methods Based on the Essen Coronary Artery Disease registry we excluded patients with known heart failure or elevated BNP/NT-pro BNP levels. The resulting cohort was divided into a derivation and validation cohort using random sampling. The prognostic value of BNP/NT-proBNP of incident mortality was evaluated in the derivation cohort using univariate and multivariable cox regression analysis. In receiver operating characteristic analysis and corresponding area under the curve the optimal threshold was determined using Youdens J index. The findings were verified in the validation cohort. Results A total of 3,690 patients (age 62.9 ± 12.5 years, 71% male, 68% patients with coronary artery disease) were included. During a mean follow-up of 2.6 ± 3.4 years (median 1.2 [IQR: 0.4-2.88]), 169 deaths of any cause occurred. Based on Youden's J index, BNP-thresholds of 9.6 and 29pg/ml and NT-proBNP thresholds of 65 and 77pg/ml for men and women, respectively, were determined. BNP/NT-proBNP levels above these thresholds were associated with increased mortality in the derivation cohort (HR: 2.44 [95% CI: 1.32-4.53], P = 0.005). The predictive value was confirmed in the validation cohort (HR: 2.78 [95% CI: 1.26-6.14], P = 0.01). Conclusions We here describe sex-specific BNP/NT-proBNP thresholds that allow prediction of impaired survival in patients without heart failure, independent of traditional cardiovascular risk factors.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Current prognostic models for chronic kidney disease (CKD) are complex and were designed to predict a single outcome. We aimed to develop and validate a simple and parsimonious prognostic model to predict cardio-kidney events and mortality. METHODS Patients from the CRIC Study (n = 3,718) were randomly divided into derivation (n = 2,478) and validation (n = 1,240) cohorts. Twenty-nine candidate variables were preselected. Multivariable Cox regression models were developed using stepwise selection for various cardio-kidney endpoints, namely, (i) the primary composite outcome of 50% decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) from baseline, end-stage renal disease, or cardiovascular (CV) mortality; (ii) hospitalization for heart failure (HHF) or CV mortality; (iii) 3-point major CV endpoints (3P-MACE); (iv) all-cause death. RESULTS During a median follow-up of 9 years, the primary outcome occurred in 977 patients of the derivation cohort and 501 patients of the validation cohort. Log-transformed N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), log-transformed high-sensitive cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT), log-transformed albuminuria, and eGFR were the dominant predictors. The primary outcome risk score discriminated well (c-statistic = 0.83) with a proportion of events of 11.4% in the lowest tertile of risk and 91.5% in the highest tertile at 10 years. The risk model presented good discrimination for HHF or CV mortality, 3P-MACE, and all-cause death (c-statistics = 0.80, 0.75, and 0.75, respectively). The 4-variable risk model achieved similar c-statistics for all tested outcomes in the validation cohort. The discrimination of the 4-variable risk model was mostly superior to that of published models. CONCLUSION The combination of NT-proBNP, hs-cTnT, albuminuria, and eGFR in a single 4-variable model provides a unique individual prognostic assessment of multiple cardio-kidney outcomes in CKD.

Abstract
To analyze the value of the combined test of the cardiac color Doppler ultrasound, the serum middle receptor pro-atrial natriuretic peptide (MR-ProANP) and the N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-ProBNP) in forecasting the hypertensive left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and left heart failure (LHF). All patients were subjected to cardiac color Doppler ultrasound examination to obtain left atrium volume index (LAVI), left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD), early-diastolic peak flow velocity (E), early-diastolic mean flow velocity (e'), early-diastolic peak flow velocity/early-diastolic mean flow velocity (E/e') and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). Biomarkers were performed to obtain serum MR-ProANP and NT-ProBNP concentrations, and statistical analysis was performed. The LVEF was obviously lower than that in the control group (P<0.01). The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) values of LVEF, E/e', serum MR-ProANP and NT-ProBNP alone were in the range of 0.7-0.8. The AUC, sensitivity and specificity of LVEF and E/e' combined with MR-ProANP and NT-ProBNP to diagnose hypertensive LVH and LHF were 0.892, 89.14% and 78.21%, which were higher than those of single diagnosis. In the heart failure group, LVEF was negatively correlated with serum MR-ProANP and NT-ProBNP concentrations (P<0.05), and E/e' was positively correlated with serum MR-ProANP and NT-ProBNP concentrations (P<0.05). Pump function and ventricular remodeling in patients with hypertensive LVH and LHF are closely related to serum MR-ProANP and NT-ProBNP levels. Combination of the two testing can improve the prediction and diagnostic efficacy of LHF.

Abstract
Consumption of legumes has been shown to enhance health and lower the risk of cardiovascular disease and specific types of cancer. ACE inhibitors, antioxidants, and synthetic anti-inflammatories are widely used today; however, they have several undesirable side effects. Thus, researchers have focused on finding ACE inhibitors, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory peptides from natural sources, such as legumes. Recently, in vitro and in vivo research has shown the bioactive peptides generated from legume protein hydrolysates, such as antioxidant, anti-hypertensive, anticancer, anti-proliferative, anti-inflammatory, etc., in the context of different disease mitigation. Therefore, this review aims to describe the recent advances in in vitro and in vivo studies of antioxidant, anti-hypertensive and anti-inflammatory peptides isolated from legume-derived protein hydrolysates. The results indicated that antioxidant legumes peptides are characterized by short-chain sequence amino acids and possess anti-hypertensive properties by reducing systolic blood pressure (SBP) in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR).

Abstract
The natriuretic peptides (NPs) ANP (atrial natriuretic peptide) and BNP (B-type natriuretic peptide) mediate their widespread effects by activating the natriuretic peptide receptor-A (NPR-A), while C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) acts via natriuretic peptide receptor-B (NPR-B). NPs are removed from the circulation by internalization via the natriuretic peptide clearance receptor natriuretic peptide receptor-C (NPR-C). In addition to their well-known functions, for instance on blood pressure, all three NPs confer significant cardioprotection and renoprotection. Since neither the NP-mediated renal functions nor the renal target cells of renoprotection are completely understood, we performed systematic localization studies of NP receptors using in situ hybridization (RNAscope) in mouse kidneys. NPR-A mRNA is highly expressed in glomeruli (mainly podocytes), renal arterioles, endothelial cells of peritubular capillaries, and PDGFR-receptor β positive (PDGFR-β) interstitial cells. No NPR-A mRNA was detected by RNAscope in the tubular system. In contrast, NPR-B expression is highest in proximal tubules. NPR-C is located in glomeruli (mainly podocytes), in endothelial cells and PDGFR-β positive cells. To test for a possible regulation of NPRs in kidney diseases, their distribution was studied in adenine nephropathy. Signal intensity of NPR-A and NPR-B mRNA was reduced while their spatial distribution was unaltered compared with healthy kidneys. In contrast, NPR-C mRNA signal was markedly enhanced in cell clusters of myofibroblasts in fibrotic areas of adenine kidneys. In conclusion, the primary renal targets of ANP and BNP are glomerular, vascular, and interstitial cells but not the tubular compartment, while the CNP receptor NPR-B is highly expressed in proximal tubules. Further studies are needed to clarify the function and interplay of this specific receptor expression pattern.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is associated with adverse events. As there are no effective treatments, the early identification of high-risk patients is required. Individual studies have suggested the utility of brain natriuretic peptide in predicting CIN. Therefore, this meta-analysis aimed to systematically investigate the value of brain natriuretic peptide in predicting CIN in patients undergoing coronary angiography (CAG) or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). METHODS We searched PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials Library, and Web of Science from inception date to March 9, 2022. Studies that evaluated the predictive value of brain natriuretic peptide for CIN outcomes in patients after CAG or PCI were included. The quality of the included studies was assessed using the QUADAS-2 tool. Diagnostic accuracy estimates were calculated using a random-effects model. Subgroup and meta-regression analyses were performed to identify the potential sources of heterogeneity. RESULTS Twelve studies with 7789 patients were included in the meta-analysis. The pooled sensitivity and specificity of brain natriuretic peptide for the prediction of CIN were 0.73 (95% CI: 0.67-0.78) and 0.77 (95% CI: 0.71-0.82), respectively. The area under the summary receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.80 (95% CI: 0.77-0.84). Meta-regression analysis indicated that the sources of sensitivity heterogeneity may be the country, mean age, and study population. Additionally, country, study population, study design, and index text contributed to the specificity heterogeneity. CONCLUSION This study demonstrated that brain natriuretic peptide could function as a novel potential marker for the early detection of CIN in patients undergoing CAG or PCI.

Abstract
AIMS Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a frequent comorbidity in patients with heart failure (HF). We assessed the influence of COPD on circulating levels and prognostic value of three HF biomarkers: N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), high-sensitivity troponin T (hs-TnT), and soluble suppression of tumorigenesis-2 (sST2). METHODS Individual data from patients with chronic HF, known COPD status, NT-proBNP and hs-TnT values (n = 8088) were analysed. A subgroup (n = 3414) had also sST2 values. RESULTS Patients had a median age of 66 years (interquartile interval 57-74), 77% were men and 82% had HF with reduced ejection fraction. NT-proBNP, hs-TnT and sST2 were 1207 ng/l (487-2725), 17 ng/l (9-31) and 30 ng/ml (22-44), respectively. Patients with COPD (n = 1249, 15%) had higher NT-proBNP (P = 0.042) and hs-TnT (P < 0.001), but not sST2 (P = 0.165). Over a median 2.0-year follow-up (1.5-2.5), 1717 patients (21%) died, and 1298 (16%) died from cardiovascular causes; 2255 patients (28%) were hospitalized for HF over 1.8 years (0.9-2.1). NT-proBNP, hs-TnT and sST2 predicted the three end points regardless of COPD status. The best cut-offs from receiver-operating characteristics analysis were higher in patients with COPD than in those without. Patients with all three biomarkers higher than or equal to end-point- and COPD-status-specific cut-offs were also those with the worst prognosis. CONCLUSIONS Among patients with HF, those with COPD have higher NT-proBNP and hs-TnT, but not sST2. All these biomarkers yield prognostic significance regardless of the COPD status.

Abstract
Aims Cardiovascular disease is a major threat to maternal health, with cardiomyopathy being among the most common acquired cardiovascular diseases during pregnancy and the postpartum period. The aim of our study was to evaluate the effectiveness of an electrocardiogram (ECG)-based deep learning model in identifying cardiomyopathy during pregnancy and the postpartum period. Methods and results We used an ECG-based deep learning model to detect cardiomyopathy in a cohort of women who were pregnant or in the postpartum period seen at Mayo Clinic. Model performance was evaluated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity. We compared the diagnostic probabilities of the deep learning model with natriuretic peptides and a multivariable model consisting of demographic and clinical parameters. The study cohort included 1807 women; 7%, 10%, and 13% had left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of 35% or less, <45%, and <50%, respectively. The ECG-based deep learning model identified cardiomyopathy with AUCs of 0.92 (LVEF ≤ 35%), 0.89 (LVEF < 45%), and 0.87 (LVEF < 50%). For LVEF of 35% or less, AUC was higher in Black (0.95) and Hispanic (0.98) women compared to White (0.91). Natriuretic peptides and the multivariable model had AUCs of 0.85 to 0.86 and 0.72, respectively. Conclusions An ECG-based deep learning model effectively identifies cardiomyopathy during pregnancy and the postpartum period and outperforms natriuretic peptides and traditional clinical parameters with the potential to become a powerful initial screening tool for cardiomyopathy in the obstetric care setting.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To identify the relationship between serum fetuin-A levels and left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) among maintenance haemodialysis patients. METHODS In a cross-sectional study, 75 dialysis patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) were recruited, and fetuin-A levels were detected using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Echocardiography measurements were recorded according to the recommendations of the American Society of Echocardiography. The ratio of early diastolic transmitral inflow velocity (E) to early diastolic annular velocity (E') was measured using tissue Doppler imaging and E/E' > 15 was defined as diastolic dysfunction. The association of serum fetuin-A concentrations with echocardiographic parameters was analysed by calculating the bivariate linear correlation. A binary logistic regression analysis was conducted to determine the variables associated with LVDD. RESULTS Compared to patients without diastolic dysfunction, patients with diastolic dysfunction were older, a higher percentage had a history of coronary artery disease, and presented with a high systolic pressure, high parathyroid hormone level, high N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) level, high LV mass index, high left atrium diameter, and low serum creatinine and fetuin-A levels. Serum fetuin-A levels showed a negative correlation with E/E' (r = - 0.299, P = 0.009). Fetuin-A levels were considered an independent predictor of diastolic dysfunction. CONCLUSION A decrease in the serum fetuin-A level is associated with an increased risk of LVDD in patients on haemodialysis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Identification of systolic heart failure among patients presenting to the emergency department (ED) with acute dyspnea is challenging. The reasons for dyspnea are often multifactorial. A focused physical evaluation and diagnostic testing can lack sensitivity and specificity. The objective of this study was to assess the accuracy of an artificial intelligence-enabled ECG to identify patients presenting with dyspnea who have left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD). METHODS We retrospectively applied a validated artificial intelligence-enabled ECG algorithm for the identification of LVSD (defined as LV ejection fraction ≤35%) to a cohort of patients aged ≥18 years who were evaluated in the ED at a Mayo Clinic site with dyspnea. Patients were included if they had at least one standard 12-lead ECG acquired on the date of the ED visit and an echocardiogram performed within 30 days of presentation. Patients with prior LVSD were excluded. We assessed the model performance using area under the receiver operating characteristic curve, accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity. RESULTS A total of 1606 patients were included. Median time from ECG to echocardiogram was 1 day (Q1: 1, Q3: 2). The artificial intelligence-enabled ECG algorithm identified LVSD with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.89 (95% CI, 0.86-0.91) and accuracy of 85.9%. Sensitivity, specificity, negative predictive value, and positive predictive value were 74%, 87%, 97%, and 40%, respectively. To identify an ejection fraction <50%, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve, accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity were 0.85 (95% CI, 0.83-0.88), 86%, 63%, and 91%, respectively. NT-proBNP (N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide) alone at a cutoff of >800 identified LVSD with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.80 (95% CI, 0.76-0.84). CONCLUSIONS The ECG is an inexpensive, ubiquitous, painless test which can be quickly obtained in the ED. It effectively identifies LVSD in selected patients presenting to the ED with dyspnea when analyzed with artificial intelligence and outperforms NT-proBNP.

Abstract
Natriuretic peptides (NP), especially B type (BNP) and its N-terminal pro-B type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), have long been regarded as biomarkers of volume overload and tools to exclude heart failure in the general population. However, their role in end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) is less certain given that BNP and NT-proBNP are excreted by the kidney and so serum concentrations of NPs are nearly universally elevated compared to controls. Nevertheless, the accumulated evidence suggests thatserum concentrations of NPs in patients with ESKD show moderate or strong positive relationships with underlying heart disease, abnormal cardiac structure or function and mortality. Limited evidence also supports the role of BNP including NT-proBNP, ANP in some studies, rather than CNP or DNP in risk stratification among ESKD patients as well as the utility of BNP samplings pre- and post- hemodialysis. However, studies of the cut-off values of NPs have yielded inconsistent results, such that further large-scale studies are needed to clarify these issues. This review summarizes the pathophysiology and significance of NPs in ESKD patients, especially their potential role as risk stratification biomarkers in clinical management.

Abstract
Natriuretic peptides, produced by cardiac myocytes, are regulators of the intravascular volume and blood pressure, and also exhibit neuroendocrine, metabolic and growth controlling effects. In heart failure, their synthesis increases exponentially as part of the neuroendocrine activation, but their beneficial effects are diminished. The paper reviews relevant data about their role as diagnosis and prognosis markers in heart failure, the hemodynamic and clinical benefits of their use as therapy in heart failure, together with the main adverse effects. Peptides non-specifically increase in extracardiac pathology and the literature reveals the mechanisms of increase, significance and threshold values to exclude cardiac dysfunction.

Abstract
This study presents a theoretical analysis of the problems related to the inability of podocytes to proliferate. The basis of these problems is the very high rate of glomerular filtration. Podocytes do not in general die by apoptosis or necrosis but are lost by detachment from the glomerular basement membrane (GBM) as viable cells. Podocytes situated on the outside of the filtration barrier and attached to the GBM only by their foot processes are permanently exposed to the flow dynamic forces of the high filtration rate tending to detach them from the GBM. The major challenge seems to consist of the high shear stresses on the foot processes within the filtration slits due to filtrate flow. Healthy podocytes are able to resist this challenge, injured podocytes are not, and may undergo foot process detachment, leading to a gap in the podocyte cover of the GBM. This represents a mortal event. Like a dam break, such a leak cannot be repaired. The ongoing exposure to filtrate flow prevents any attempt to close the gap, thus preventing any regeneration including cell proliferation. An improvement of this precarious situation consists of healing by scarring that may involve only one lobule of the glomerulus, permitting the remaining lobules to maintain filtration. An answer to the question of which waste product requires such a high filtration rate for its excretion may be in the huge quantity of circulating peptides, a problem that dates far back in evolution.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Kidney disease is a global health problem that needs a solution to its therapy. In the previous study, we found that protein hydrolysate of green peas origin of Indonesia hydrolysed by bromelain (PHGPB) showed improve kidney function in cisplatin-induced nephropathy rats. In this study, we investigated the effect of PHGPB to obtain effective dose that exerts a therapeutic effect on chronic kidney disease (CKD) based on reducing urea and creatinine levels and to elucidate its mechanism of action. MATERIALS AND METHODS Two sets of experiments were conducted: (1) characteristics and proteomic profile of PHGPB, (2) in vivo test of PHGPB in gentamycin-induced Wistar rats, including urea and creatinine measurements, activities of antioxidant and kidney-related peptides (ANP, COX-1, and renin). RESULTS PHGPB showed three bands under 10 kDa using sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and contained 10 identified proteins using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Significant differences in urea and creatinine levels were found between all PHGPB treatments and positive controls (P<0.01). The lowest levels of urea and creatinine that were validated by high super oxide dismutase (SOD) activity and atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) level were obtained in the 200 mg/day PHGPB treatment. However, the mean renin level was high and cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) level did not exceed positive and negative control levels. CONCLUSION PHGPB at dose 200 mg/kgBW shows a potential CKD therapeutic effect that is dose-dependent. Higher PHGPB dose corresponds to better effect on kidney function by increasing antioxidant activity and ANP levels in gentamycin-induced Wistar rats.

Abstract
Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) is an important biomarker for patients with heart failure, hypertension and cardiac hypertrophy. Although it is known that BNP levels are relatively higher in patients with chronic kidney disease and no heart disease, the mechanism remains unknown. Here, we review the functions and the roles of BNP in the heart-kidney interaction. In addition, we discuss the relevant molecular mechanisms that suggest BNP is protective against chronic kidney diseases and heart failure, especially in terms of the counterparts of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS). The renal medulla has been reported to express depressor substances. The extract of the papillary tips from kidneys may induce the expression and secretion of BNP from cardiomyocytes. A better understanding of these processes will help accelerate pharmacological treatments for heart-kidney disease.

Abstract
The incidence of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is increasing and its challenging diagnosis and management combines clinical, imagistic and biological data. Natriuretic peptides (NPs) are hormones secreted in response to myocardial stretch that, by increasing cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), counteract myocardial fibrosis and hypertrophy, increase natriuresis and determine vasodilatation. While their role in HFpEF is controversial, most authors focused on b-type natriuretic peptides (BNPs) and agreed that patients may show lower levels. In this setting, newer molecules with an increased specificity, such as middle-region pro-atrial natriuretic peptide (MR-proANP), emerged as promising markers. Augmenting NP levels, either by NP analogs or breakdown inhibition, could offer a new therapeutic target in HFpEF (already approved in their reduced EF counterparts) by increasing the deficient cGMP levels found in patients. Importantly, these peptides also retain their prognostic value. This narrative review focuses on NPs' physiology, diagnosis, therapeutic and prognostic implication in HFpEF.

Abstract
Copeptin (CPP) has been considered as a useful marker for prediction of prognosis in heart diseases. However, CPP has not been investigated sufficiently in cardiorenal syndrome (CRS). The present study aimed to investigate the value of CPP level in predicting CRS in rats with partial nephrectomy combined with myocardial infarction (SNX + MI). A total of 60 male Sprague-Dawley rats were used to establish the CRS model by partial nephrectomy combined with MI. The rats were randomly divided into blank control (CK), SNX, MI and CRS groups. Changes in serum and urine CPP concentrations, hemodynamics, blood pressure, and renal function were examined 1-5 weeks after modeling. The predictive values of CPP in the occurrence of CRS in rats were evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. The results showed that serum CPP in the CRS group in 1-5 weeks and urine CPP in 3 weeks after modeling increased significantly compared with the CK group. Also, serum B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) in 1 and 3 weeks and urine BNP in 4-5 weeks after modeling increased significantly. No correlation was found between serum or urine CPP, BNP and BUN levels 1 week after modeling in the CRS group. The ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve of CRS predicted by serum CPP at 1 week was 0.908 with 56.59 pg/ml as the cutoff point, and its diagnostic sensitivity and specificity were 87.5 and 80.0%, respectively. To conclude, SNX + MI may be used to establish CRS rat model with cardiac and renal damage. Serum CPP may serve as a specific biomarker for the early prediction of CRS.

Abstract
Background Left ventricular (LV) global longitudinal strain (GLS) reliably assesses LV systolic function. The precise relation between LV wall stress and serum Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) concentrations in hemodialysis (HD) patients needs to be clarified. BNP levels are raised in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and could reflect LV impairment among HD patients. Aim of this work This study sought to evaluate the clinical utility of LV-GLS, wall stress and serum BNP levels in chronic HD patients. The correlations between BNP levels with both LV wall stress and LV-GLS were assessed. Patients and methods 30 ESRD patients on regular HD {categorized into 15 patients with LV ejection fraction (EF) ≤ 50% and 15 patients with LV EF > 50%} and 15-age matched healthy subjects were included. LV function and structure were assessed by conventional echocardiography including LV meridional wall stress (LVMWS), LV mass index (LVMI) and 2-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography for determination of LV-GLS. Serum BNP levels were evaluated after HD session. Results There were significant increase of LVMSW (189.2 ± 81 vs. 72.2 ± 20.6 dynes/cm2 × 1000, P < 0.0001), higher levels of BNP (1238 ± 1085.5 vs. 71 ± 23.4 pg/ml, P < 0.0001) while LV-GLS was significantly reduced (15.1 ± 3.1 vs. 20.8 ± 1.7%, P < 0.0001) in HD patients compared to controls. Higher values of LVMWS (246.9 ± 67.5 vs. 131.5 ± 43.6 dynes/cm2 × 1000, P < 0.0001) and BNP (1925.4 ± 1087 vs. 550.5 ± 496.5 pg/ml, P < 0.0005) with further impairment of LV-GLS (13.8 ± 2.5 vs. 16.4 ± 5.4%, P < 0.05) were found in patients with LV EF ≤ 50% than those with LV EF > 50%. Serum levels of BNP were positively correlated with LVMI (r = 0.896, P < 0.0001) and LVMWS (r = 0.697, P < 0.0001) but negatively correlated with LV-GLS (r = −0.587, P < 0.0001). Conclusion LV-GLS and LVMWS are useful imaging markers for detection of LV dysfunction in HD patients. Serum BNP level is influenced by LV structural abnormalities and suggested to be a crucial hemodynamic biomarker in those patients.

Abstract
As a family of hormones with pleiotropic effects, natriuretic peptide (NP) system includes atrial NP (ANP), B-type NP (BNP), C-type NP (CNP), dendroaspis NP and urodilatin, with NP receptor-A (guanylate cyclase-A), NP receptor-B (guanylate cyclase-B) and NP receptor-C (clearance receptor). These peptides are genetically distinct, but structurally and functionally related for regulating circulatory homeostasis in vertebrates. In humans, ANP and BNP are encoded by NP precursor A (NPPA) and NPPB genes on chromosome 1, whereas CNP is encoded by NPPC on chromosome 2. NPs are synthesized and secreted through certain mechanisms by cardiomyocytes, fibroblasts, endotheliocytes, immune cells (neutrophils, T-cells and macrophages) and immature cells (embryonic stem cells, muscle satellite cells and cardiac precursor cells). They are mainly produced by cardiovascular, brain and renal tissues in response to wall stretch and other causes. NPs provide natriuresis, diuresis, vasodilation, antiproliferation, antihypertrophy, antifibrosis and other cardiometabolic protection. NPs represent body's own antihypertensive system, and provide compensatory protection to counterbalance vasoconstrictor-mitogenic-sodium retaining hormones, released by renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) and sympathetic nervous system (SNS). NPs play central roles in regulation of heart failure (HF), and are inactivated through not only NP receptor-C, but also neutral endopeptidase (NEP), dipeptidyl peptidase-4 and insulin degrading enzyme. Both BNP and N-terminal proBNP are useful biomarkers to not only make the diagnosis and assess the severity of HF, but also guide the therapy and predict the prognosis in patients with HF. Current NP-augmenting strategies include the synthesis of NPs or agonists to increase NP bioactivity and inhibition of NEP to reduce NP breakdown. Nesiritide has been established as an available therapy, and angiotensin receptor blocker NEP inhibitor (ARNI, LCZ696) has obtained extremely encouraging results with decreased morbidity and mortality. Novel pharmacological approaches based on NPs may promote a therapeutic shift from suppressing the RAAS and SNS to re-balancing neuroendocrine dysregulation in patients with HF. The current review discussed the synthesis, secretion, function and metabolism of NPs, and their diagnostic, therapeutic and prognostic values in HF.

Abstract
Background B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) is a hormone secreted by cardiomyocytes in response to myocardial ischemia, increased ventricular wall tension, and overload. BNP is utilized as a diagnostic and prognostic marker in congested heart failure (CHF). Its prognostic value in sepsis is unknown. The aim of this study is to determine if BNP correlates with increased in-hospital mortality for septic patients. Methods This was a retrospective study of 505 patients admitted for sepsis or severe sepsis or septic shock during the period of January 2013 and August 2014. Patients that received > 3 L of intravenous fluids on presentation were included. Intensive care unit length of stay (ICULOS), hospital length of stay (HLOS) and in-hospital mortality were measured. Mean BNP level was calculated and compared to ICULOS and HLOS and in-hospital mortality. Controlled variables included ejection fraction (measured by echocardiogram within 6 months of presentation), glomerular filtration rate (calculated by Cockroft-Gault equation), patient demographics, and lactic acid trends. Exclusion criteria were no echocardiogram within 6 months of admission, no BNP levels on admission, and no repeat lactate or rising lactate levels within 24 h to indicate worsening sepsis. Results Patients’ mean BNP with in-hospital mortality was 908 pg/mL as compared to mean BNP of 678 pg/mL in survivors. T-test comparisons were statistically significant (P = 0.0375). The Kaplan-Meier curve for BNP as a predictor for in-hospital mortality showed that for the first 25 days, patients with BNP higher than 500 pg/mL had a higher mortality than patients with BNP lower than 500 pg/mL. When comparing HLOS, there is a statistically significant correlation (P = 0.0046). A similar scatter plot was prepared for ICULOS which showed there was a weak positive correlation (r = 0.199). Conclusion Septic patients with in-hospital mortality had an average BNP of 908 pg/mL and statistically significant higher HLOS.

Abstract
Due to globalization and sophisticated western and sedentary lifestyle, metabolic syndrome has emerged as a serious public health challenge. Obesity is significantly increasing worldwide because of increased high calorie food intake and decreased physical activity leading to hypertension, dyslipidemia, atherosclerosis, and insulin resistance. Thus, metabolic syndrome constitutes cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, obesity, and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and recently some cancers are also considered to be associated with this syndrome. There is increasing evidence of the involvement of natriuretic peptides (NP) in the pathophysiology of metabolic diseases. The natriuretic peptides are cardiac hormones, which are produced in the cardiac atrium, ventricles of the heart and the endothelium. These peptides are involved in the homeostatic control of body water, sodium intake, potassium transport, lipolysis in adipocytes and regulates blood pressure. The three known natriuretic peptide hormones present in the natriuretic system are atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and c-type natriuretic peptide (CNP). These three peptides primarily function as endogenous ligands and mainly act via their membrane receptors such as natriuretic peptide receptor A (NPR-A), natriuretic peptide receptor B (NPR-B) and natriuretic peptide receptor C (NPR-C) and regulate various physiological and metabolic functions. This review will shed light on the structure and function of natriuretic peptides and their receptors and their role in the metabolic syndrome.

Abstract
Heart transplantation (HT) should normalize cardiac endocrine function, but brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels remain elevated after HT, even in the absence of left ventricular hemodynamic disturbance or allograft rejection. Right ventricle (RV) abnormalities are common in HT recipients (HTx), as a result of engraftment process, tricuspid insufficiency, and/or repeated inflammation due to iterative endomyocardial biopsies. RV function follow-up is vital for patient management as RV dysfunction is a recognized cause of in-hospital death and is responsible for a worse prognosis. Interestingly, few and controversial data are available concerning the relationship between plasma BNP levels and RV functional impairment in HTx. This suggests that infra-clinical modifications, such as subtle immune system disorders or hypoxic conditions, might influence BNP expression. Nevertheless, due to other altered circulating molecular forms of BNP, a lack of specificity of BNP assays is described in heart failure patients. This phenomenon could exist in HT population and could explain elevated BNP plasmatic levels despite a normal RV function. In clinical practice, intra-individual change in BNP over time, rather than absolute BNP values, might be more helpful in detecting right cardiac dysfunction in HTx.
