Abstract
AIMS Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a public health problem and represents a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and vascular damage. This study aimed to investigate the impact of AKI on purinergic components in mice aorta. MAIN METHODS The kidney ischemia was achieved by the occlusion of the left kidney pedicle for 60 min, followed by reperfusion for 8 (IR8) and 15 (IR15) days. Renal function was assessed through biochemical assays, while gene expression levels were evaluated by RT-qPCR. KEY FINDINGS Analyses of renal parameters showed renal remodeling through mass loss in the left kidney and hypertrophy of the right kidney in the IR15 group. Furthermore, after 15 days, local inflammation was evidenced in the aorta. Moreover, the aorta purinergic components were significantly impacted by the renal ischemia and reperfusion model, with increases in gene expression of the pro-inflammatory purinoceptors P2Y1, P2Y2, P2Y6, and P2X4, potentially contributing to the vessel inflammation. The expression of NTPDase2 and ecto-5'-nucleotidase were also significantly increased in the aorta of the same group. In addition, both ATP and AMP hydrolysis were significantly increased in the aorta from IR15 animals, driving the entire purinergic cascade to the production of the anti-inflammatory adenosine. SIGNIFICANCE In short, this is the first time that inflammation of the aorta due to AKI was shown to have an impact on purinergic signaling components, with emphasis on the adenosinergic pathway. This seems to be closely implicated in the establishment of vascular inflammation in this model of AKI and deserves to be further investigated.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a sudden loss of renal function with a high mortality rate and inflammation is thought to be the underlying cause. The phenylpropanoid components acteoside (ACT) and isoacteoside (ISO), which were isolated from Cistanche deserticola Y.C.Ma, have been reported to have preventive effects against kidney disorders. This study aimed to investigate the anti-inflammatory properties and protective mechanisms of ACT and ISO. In this investigation, kidney function was assessed using a semi-automatic biochemical analyzer, histopathology was examined using Hematoxylin-Eosin staining and immunohistochemistry, and the concentration of inflammatory cytokines was assessed using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) test. In addition, using Western blot and q-PCR, the expression of proteins and genes connected to the NF-κB signaling pathway in mice with lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced AKI was found. The findings showed that under AKI intervention in LPS group, ACT group and ISO group, the expression of Rela (Rela gene is responsible for the expression of NFκB p65 protein) and Tlr4 mRNA was considerably elevated (P<0.01), which led to a significant improvement in the expression of MyD88, TLR4, Iκ-Bɑ and NF-κB p65 protein (P<0.001). The levels of Alb, Crea and BUN (P<0.001) increased along with the release of downstream inflammatory factors such as IL-1β, IL-6, Cys-C, SOD1 and TNF-α (P<0.001). More importantly, the study showed that ISO had a more favorable impact on LPS-induced AKI mice than ACT. In conclusion, by inhibiting NF-κB signaling pathway, ACT and ISO could relieve renal failure and inflammation in AKI, offering a fresh possibility for the therapeutic management of the condition.

Abstract
Using selenium (Se) nanoparticles has received attention in recent years because of their therapeutic benefits due to their anticancer, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-diabetic effects. This research was conducted to evaluate the possible protective impact of nano-Se on renal unilateral ischemia/reperfusion injury (uIRI) in adult male Wistar rats. Using clamping of the left renal pedicle within 45 min uIRI was induced. The animals were randomly divided into nine groups of control, nano-Se (0.25, 0.5, and 1 mg/kg bw/day) alone, uIRI control, and uIRI rats administrated with nano-Se. At 30 days after treatment, the animals were sacrificed to be assessed biochemically and histopathologically. Nano-Se in uIRI groups have significantly decreased serum creatinine, urea levels, renal histological damage, and increased antioxidant status. Also, our findings demonstrated that the administration of nano-Se caused a significant decrease in the immunoreactivity level of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) and EGFR expression (EGF receptor) in the renal tissue of the uIRI rats. Therefore, nano-Se possesses renoprotective effects, and this effect might be attributable to its antioxidant and free radical scavenger effects. These renoprotective effects may depend on the decreased EGF immunoreactivity level and EGFR expression in the kidney tissue and improve the structure of the kidney tissue. Thus, our research provided biochemical and histological data supporting the potential clinical use of nano-Se for the treatment of certain kidney disorders.

Abstract
Sterile tissue injury, such as by acute kidney injury, is common in the clinic and frequently associated with respiratory compromise and hypoxemia. We previously described signaling components released by the injured kidney that drive a remote inflammatory response in the lung. How this caused the resultant hypoxemia remained unclear. Here, we report that sterile kidney tissue injury induces rapid intravascular "neutrophil train" formation in lung capillaries, a novel form of neutrophil swarming. Rapid swarming is enhanced by decreased deformability of circulating neutrophils that impedes their lung capillary passage. Classical lung monocytes are required for neutrophil train formation and release CXCL2 to attract and retain stiffened neutrophils in lung capillaries which reduces capillary perfusion. We thus discovered a novel feature of kidney-lung crosstalk after sterile kidney tissue injury, capillary perfusion deficits that lead to reduced oxygenation despite proper alveolar function and ventilation, unlike in infectious inflammatory lung processes, such as bacterial pneumonia.

Abstract
Digoxin toxicity can be life-threatening. Digoxin-specific antibody (DSA) fragments are used in severe digoxin toxicity, binding to serum-free digoxin and enabling increased renal excretion. In severe renal impairment, clearance of these complexes is prolonged, leading to rebound toxicity. Digoxin and DSA complexes are not dialysable. We present a case of a gentleman with severe digoxin toxicity and acute kidney injury (AKI). Despite receiving DSA doses, his digoxin levels rebounded and symptoms persisted. Based on published case reports, plasma exchange (PEX) after further dosing was arranged. PEX facilitated the removal of digoxin-DSA complexes, bypassing renal excretion. During PEX, clinical signs improved and were sustained. He did not require further dialysis or PEX, renal function recovered and he was discharged. This case highlights challenges in the management of severe digoxin toxicity in patients with a concurrent AKI. The use of PEX enabled digoxin-DSA complex removal and should be considered in these circumstances.

Abstract
The homeostasis and health of an organism depend on the coordinated interaction of specialized organs, which is regulated by interorgan communication networks of circulating soluble molecules and neuronal connections. Many diseases that seemingly affect one primary organ are really multiorgan diseases, with substantial secondary remote organ complications that underlie a large part of their morbidity and mortality. Acute kidney injury (AKI) frequently occurs in critically ill patients with multiorgan failure and is associated with high mortality, particularly when it occurs together with respiratory failure. Inflammatory lung lesions in patients with kidney failure that could be distinguished from pulmonary oedema due to volume overload were first reported in the 1930s, but have been largely overlooked in clinical settings. A series of studies over the past two decades have elucidated acute and chronic kidney-lung and lung-kidney interorgan communication networks involving various circulating inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, metabolites, uraemic toxins, immune cells and neuro-immune pathways. Further investigations are warranted to understand these clinical entities of high morbidity and mortality, and to develop effective treatments.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury remains a common and significant contributor to perioperative morbidity. Acute kidney injury worsens patient outcomes, and anesthesiologists should make significant efforts to prevent, assess, and treat perioperative renal injury. The authors discuss the impact of renal injury on patient outcomes and putative underlying mechanisms, evidence underlying treatments for acute kidney injury, and practices that may prevent the development of perioperative renal injury.

Abstract
BACKGROUNDCardiorenal syndrome (CRS) - renal injury during heart failure (HF) - is linked to high morbidity. Whether circulating extracellular vesicles (EVs) and their RNA cargo directly impact its pathogenesis remains unclear.METHODSWe investigated the role of circulating EVs from patients with CRS on renal epithelial/endothelial cells using a microfluidic kidney-on-chip (KOC) model. The small RNA cargo of circulating EVs was regressed against serum creatinine to prioritize subsets of functionally relevant EV-miRNAs and their mRNA targets investigated using in silico pathway analysis, human genetics, and interrogation of expression in the KOC model and in renal tissue. The functional effects of EV-RNAs on kidney epithelial cells were experimentally validated.RESULTSRenal epithelial and endothelial cells in the KOC model exhibited uptake of EVs from patients with HF. HF-CRS EVs led to higher expression of renal injury markers (IL18, LCN2, HAVCR1) relative to non-CRS EVs. A total of 15 EV-miRNAs were associated with creatinine, targeting 1,143 gene targets specifying pathways relevant to renal injury, including TGF-β and AMPK signaling. We observed directionally consistent changes in the expression of TGF-β pathway members (BMP6, FST, TIMP3) in the KOC model exposed to CRS EVs, which were validated in epithelial cells treated with corresponding inhibitors and mimics of miRNAs. A similar trend was observed in renal tissue with kidney injury. Mendelian randomization suggested a role for FST in renal function.CONCLUSIONPlasma EVs in patients with CRS elicit adverse transcriptional and phenotypic responses in a KOC model by regulating biologically relevant pathways, suggesting a role for EVs in CRS.TRIAL REGISTRATIONClinicalTrials.gov NCT03345446.FUNDINGAmerican Heart Association (AHA) (SFRN16SFRN31280008); National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (1R35HL150807-01); National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (UH3 TR002878); and AHA (23CDA1045944).

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The Berlin Long-term Observation of Vascular Events is a prospective cohort study that aims to improve prediction and disease-overarching mechanistic understanding of cardiovascular (CV) disease progression by comprehensively investigating a high-risk patient population with different organ manifestations. METHODS AND ANALYSIS A total of 8000 adult patients will be recruited who have either suffered an acute CV event (CVE) requiring hospitalisation or who have not experienced a recent acute CVE but are at high CV risk. An initial study examination is performed during the acute treatment phase of the index CVE or after inclusion into the chronic high risk arm. Deep phenotyping is then performed after ~90 days and includes assessments of the patient's medical history, health status and behaviour, cardiovascular, nutritional, metabolic, and anthropometric parameters, and patient-related outcome measures. Biospecimens are collected for analyses including 'OMICs' technologies (e.g., genomics, metabolomics, proteomics). Subcohorts undergo MRI of the brain, heart, lung and kidney, as well as more comprehensive metabolic, neurological and CV examinations. All participants are followed up for up to 10 years to assess clinical outcomes, primarily major adverse CVEs and patient-reported (value-based) outcomes. State-of-the-art clinical research methods, as well as emerging techniques from systems medicine and artificial intelligence, will be used to identify associations between patient characteristics, longitudinal changes and outcomes. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION The study was approved by the Charité-Universitätsmedizin Berlin ethics committee (EA1/066/17). The results of the study will be disseminated through international peer-reviewed publications and congress presentations. STUDY REGISTRATION First study phase: Approved WHO primary register: German Clinical Trials Register: https://drks.de/search/de/trial/DRKS00016852; WHO International Clinical Registry Platform: http://apps.who.int/trialsearch/Trial2.aspx?TrialID=DRKS00016852.

[PMID: 38001786 PMCID: PMC10669121 DOI: 10.3390/antiox12111933] [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: 09/19/2023] [Revised: 10/25/2023] [Accepted: 10/27/2023] [Indexed: 11/26/2023] Open
Abstract
X-box binding protein 1 (XBP1) is a unique basic-region leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factor. Over recent years, the powerful biological functions of XBP1 in oxidative stress have been gradually revealed. When the redox balance remains undisturbed, oxidative stress plays a role in physiological adaptations and signal transduction. However, during the aging process, increased cellular senescence and reduced levels of endogenous antioxidants cause an oxidative imbalance in the cardiorenal system. Recent studies from our laboratory and others have indicated that these age-related cardiorenal diseases caused by oxidative stress are guided and controlled by a versatile network composed of diversified XBP1 pathways. In this review, we describe the mechanisms that link XBP1 and oxidative stress in a range of cardiorenal disorders, including mitochondrial instability, inflammation, and alterations in neurohumoral drive. Furthermore, we propose that differing degrees of XBP1 activation may cause beneficial or harmful effects in the cardiorenal system. Gaining a comprehensive understanding of how XBP1 exerts influence on the aging cardiorenal system by regulating oxidative stress will enhance our ability to provide new directions and strategies for cardiovascular and renal safety outcomes.

Abstract
Cardiorenal syndrome is a condition where is a bidirectional and mutually detrimental relationship between the heart and kidneys. The mechanisms underlying cardiorenal syndrome are multifactorial and complex. Patients with kidney disease exhibit increased cardiovascular risk, presenting as coronary and peripheral artery disease, structural heart disease, arrhythmias, heart failure, and sudden cardiac death, largely occurring because of a systemic proinflammatory state, causing myocardial and vascular remodeling, manifesting as atherosclerotic lesions, vascular and valvular calcification, and myocardial fibrosis, particularly among those with advanced disease. This review summarizes the current understanding and clinical implications of kidney disease in patients with cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) occurs in about half of critically ill patients and associates with high in-hospital mortality, increased long-term mortality post-discharge and subsequent progression to chronic kidney disease. Numerous clinical studies have shown that AKI is often complicated by dysfunction of distant organs, which is a cause of the high mortality associated with AKI. Experimental studies have elucidated many mechanisms of AKI-induced distant organ injury, which include inflammatory cytokines, oxidative stress and immune responses. This review will provide an update on evidence of organ crosstalk and potential therapeutics for AKI-induced organ injuries, and present the new concept of a systemic organ network to balance homeostasis and inflammation that goes beyond kidney-crosstalk with a single distant organ.

Abstract
Atherosclerotic renovascular disease (RVD) leads to hypertension, chronic kidney disease (CKD), and heart disease. Intrarenal delivery of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and MSC-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) attenuate renal injury and suppress release of inflammatory cytokines in porcine RVD. We hypothesized that this strategy would also be useful for cardioprotection. Pigs with renovascular hypertension and metabolic syndrome were studied 4 weeks after treatment with a single intrarenal infusion of autologous MSCs, EVs, or vehicle. Cardiac structure and function were assessed in vivo, and myocardial remodeling and expression of the pro-fibrotic factor growth factor receptor-bound protein-2 (Grb2) were measured ex-vivo. Inflammatory cytokine levels were measured in the systemic circulation and myocardial tissue. Blood pressure was elevated in all RVD groups, but serum creatinine increased in RVD and decreased in both RVD + MSCs and RVD + EVs. RVD-induced diastolic dysfunction (lower E/A ratio) was normalized in both MSCs- and EVs- treated pigs. Intrarenal delivery of MSCs and EVs also attenuated RVD-induced myocardial fibrosis, collagen deposition, and Grb2 expression, yet EVs restored capillary density and inflammation more effectively than MSCs. These observations suggest that autologous EVs attenuate cardiac injury in experimental RVD more effectively than their parent MSCs.

Abstract
Hyperkalemia is a frequent complication in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) or heart failure (HF) and associated with neuromuscular manifestations, changes in the electrocardiogram, and increased risk of mortality. While data on the prevalence and management of hyperkalemia in the gulf region are scarce, risk factors such as preference for potassium-rich foods (e.g., dates and dried fruits/vegetables), periods of intense fasting (e.g., Ramadan), and diabetes (an ancestor of CKD and HF) are common. Therefore, a panel of nephrologists and cardiologists from countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) convened to collate and review available data on the prevalence, regional drivers, and current practice in the management of hyperkalemia in the region. Eventually, this review provides consensus recommendations on a balanced utilization of dietary and pharmacological options including new potassium binders for achieving and sustainably maintaining desirable serum potassium levels in countries of the GCC region. Alignment with regional habits and practice was a key aspect to facilitate the uptake of the recommendations into physicians' practice and patients' lives.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The present study aimed to explore the relationship between serum anion gap (AG) and long-term mortality in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). METHODS Clinical variables were extracted among patients undergoing CABG from Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care III (MIMIC III) database. The primary outcome was 4-year mortality following CABG. An optimal cut-off value of AG was determined by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. The Kaplan-Meier (K-M) analysis and multivariate Cox hazard analysis were performed to investigate the prognostic value of AG in long-term mortality after CABG. To eliminate the bias between different groups, propensity score matching (PSM) was conducted to validate the findings. RESULTS The optimal cut-off value of AG was 17.00 mmol/L. Then a total of 3162 eligible patients enrolled in this study were divided into a high AG group (≥17.00, n = 1022) and a low AG group (<17.00, n = 2,140). A lower survival rate was identified in the high AG group based on the K-M curve (p < .001). Compared with patients in the low AG group, patients in the high AG group had an increased risk of long-term mortality [1-year mortality: hazard ratio, HR: 2.309, 95% CI (1.672-3.187), p < .001; 2-year mortality: HR: 1.813, 95% CI (1.401-2.346), p < .001; 3- year mortality: HR: 1.667, 95% CI (1.341-2.097), p < .001; 4-year mortality: HR: 1.710, 95% CI (1.401-2.087), p < .001] according to multivariate Cox hazard analysis. And further validation of above results was consistent in the matched cohort after PSM. CONCLUSIONS The AG is an independent predictive factor for long-term all-cause mortality in patients following CABG, where a high AG value is associated with an increased mortality.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is becoming a public health problem worldwide. AKI is usually considered a complication of lung, heart, liver, gut, and brain disease, but recent findings have supported that injured kidney can also cause dysfunction of other organs, suggesting organ crosstalk existence in AKI. However, the organ crosstalk in AKI and the underlying mechanisms have not been broadly reviewed or fully investigated. In this review, we summarize recent clinical and laboratory findings of organ crosstalk in AKI and highlight the related molecular mechanisms. Moreover, their crosstalk involves inflammatory and immune responses, hemodynamic change, fluid homeostasis, hormone secretion, nerve reflex regulation, uremic toxin, and oxidative stress. Our review provides important clues for the intervention for AKI and investigates important therapeutic potential from a new perspective.

Interplay between mineral bone disorder and cardiac damage in acute kidney injury: from Ca 2+ mishandling and preventive role of Klotho in mice to its potential mortality prediction in human. Transl Res 2022; 243:60-77.

Abstract
Biomarkers of mineral bone disorders (MBD) including phosphorus, fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-23 and Klotho are strongly altered in patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) who have high cardiac outcomes and mortality rates. However, the crosslink between MBD and cardiac damage after an AKI episode still remains unclear. We tested MBD and cardiac biomarkers in an experimental AKI model after 24 or 72 hours of folic acid injection and we analyzed structural cardiac remodeling, intracellular calcium (Ca2+) dynamics in cardiomyocytes and cardiac rhythm. AKI mice presented high levels of FGF-23, phosphorus and cardiac troponin T and exhibited a cardiac hypertrophy phenotype accompanied by an increase in systolic Ca2+ release 24 hours after AKI. Ca2+ transients and contractile dysfunction were reduced 72 hours after AKI while diastolic sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ leak, pro-arrhythmogenic Ca2+ events and ventricular arrhythmias were increased. These cardiac events were linked to the activation of the calcium/calmodulin-dependent kinase II pathway through the increased phosphorylation of ryanodine receptors and phospholamban specific sites after AKI. Cardiac hypertrophy and the altered intracellular Ca2+ dynamics were prevented in transgenic mice overexpressing Klotho after AKI induction. In a translational retrospective longitudinal clinical study, we determined that combining FGF-23 and phosphorus with cardiac troponin T levels achieved a better prediction of mortality in AKI patients at hospital admission. Thus, monitoring MBD and cardiac damage biomarkers could be crucial to prevent mortality in AKI patients. In this setting, Klotho might be considered as a new cardioprotective therapeutic tool to prevent deleterious cardiac events in AKI conditions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute kidney injury (AKI) has been associated with cardiovascular disease, but this is sparsely studied in non-selected populations and with little attention to the effect in age and renal function. Using nationwide administrative data, we investigated the hypothesis of increased one-year risk of cardiovascular event or death associated with AKI. METHODS In a cohort study, we identified all admissions in Denmark between 2008 and 2018. AKI was defined as ≥1.5 times increase from baseline to peak creatinine during admission, or dialysis. We excluded patients with age <50 years, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <15ml/min/1.73m2, renal transplantation, index-admission due to cardiovascular disease or death during index-admission. The primary outcome was cardiovascular risk within one year from discharge, which was a composite of the secondary outcomes ischemic heart disease, heart failure or stroke. To estimate risks, we applied multiple logistic regression fitted by inverse probability of censoring weighting and stratified estimations by eGFR and age. We adjusted for proteinuria in the subcohort with measurements available. RESULTS Among 565,056 hospital admissions, 39,569 (7.0%) cases of AKI were present. In total, 18,642 patients sustained a cardiovascular outcome. AKI was significantly associated with cardiovascular outcome with an adjusted OR [CI] of 1.33 [1.16-1.53], 1.43 [1.33-1.54], 1.23 [1.14-1.34], 1.38 [1.18-1.62] for eGFR ≥90, 60-89, 30-59 and 15-29ml/min/1.73m2, respectively. When omitting the outcome heart failure, these results were 1.24 [1.06-1.45], 1.22 [1.11-1.33], 1.05 [0.95-1.16], 1.25 [1.02-1.54]. Results did not change substantially in strata of age groups, in AKI stages and in the subcohort adjusted for proteinuria. CONCLUSION Non-selected patients aged 50 years or above with AKI during admission had significantly higher one-year risk of cardiovascular event or death, especially, but not only due to heart failure, independent of age and eGFR.

Abstract
Cardio-renal syndrome (CRS) denotes the convergence of heart-kidney interactions across several mechanisms. The current study is conducted to evaluate the anti-inflammatory role of adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ASCs) versus adipose stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles (ADSCs-EVs) in experimental model of cardiorenal syndrome type III. The study was conducted on 50 male rats that were equally divided to: group I (control group); Group II (experimental cardiorenal syndrome group) which induced by right renal artery ligation (ICRSIII); Group III (Sham-operated control group) which underwent surgical incision without renal artery ligation; Group IV (ICRSIII which received ADSCs-extracellular vesicles (ADSCs-EVs); Group V (ICRSIII which received adipose tissue stem cells (ASCs). Assessment of pro-inflammatory cytokines; IL-10, IL-1α, IL-6, IL-1 β, IFN-γ, NF-α and their mRNA gene expression quantitation, (NGAL), and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) as markers of cardiac dysfunction, as well as histopathological examination of renal tissue was examined by H& E, Masson trichrome and periodic acid-Schiff stains (PAS). The ICRS group exhibited significant acute tubular injury with tubular dilation, loss of brush borders, epithelial flattening, and occasional sloughed cells in lumen. Use of either ADSCs-EVs or ASCs significantly ameliorated the histological findings of tubular injury. Proinflammatory cytokines, BNP and NGAL were significantly elevated in ICRSIII group as compared to all other studied groups. Administration of ADSCs-EVs or ASCs led to significant decrease in all proinflammatory cytokines as well as BNP and NGAL levels with no significant difference between them. In conclusion, ADSCs-EXs and ASCs exhibited significant repairing effects in experimental-induced cardiorenal syndrome type III as evidenced by amelioration of histological findings of tubular injury, anti-inflammatory effects, and the significant decrease in markers of cardiac dysfunction. ADSC-EVs reprogramed injured cardiac cells by activating regenerative processes.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) refers to an acute functional deterioration of the kidneys, which leads to retention of urinary substances, dysregulation of the electrolyte and acid-base balance, and disturbance of fluids. Although didactically helpful, the oversimplified AKI classification of prerenal/renal/postrenal is currently considered obsolete. Indeed, the boundaries blur quite quickly, particularly between prerenal and renal causes. Based on the AKI pathophysiology, it can be etiologically divided into decreased renal perfusion, postrenal obstruction and kidney specific injury or unspecific injury. AKI is a common event in hospitalized patients and associates strongly with mortality and chronic kidney disease (CKD). Today it is accepted that AKI and CKD are rather an individually variable continuum, than 2 distinct entities. If AKI has not regressed after 7 days, it is referred to as acute kidney disease (AKD). Persisting AKD for > 90 days is classified as CKD. The transition from AKD to CKD is the result of an incomplete and maladaptive repair process. Although follow-up of post-AKI patients is essential, optimal concepts still need to be developed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the relationship between red blood cell distribution width (RDW) and all-cause death in critical diabetic patients with acute kidney injury (AKI). METHODS The clinical data of critical diabetic patients with AKI in MIMIC-III database were analyzed retrospectively. According to the survival status of 28-day after AKI and levels of RDW, patients were divided into survival and death groups, high RDW (RDW > 15.3%) and low RDW groups (RDW ≤ 15.3%). Kaplan-Meier curves were used to compare the survival rates of diabetic patients with AKI in different RDW and AKI stages, and Cox regression analysis was used to evaluate the risk factors of 28-day all-cause death in critical diabetic patients with AKI. RESULTS A total of 5200 patients with critical diabetic patients with AKI were included in this study with the male to female ratio of 1.53:1. The mean follow-up time was 24.97 ± 7.14 days, and the 28-day all-cause mortality was 17.9% (931/5200). Age, RDW, blood urea nitrogen, serum creatinine, lactic acid, proportion of AKI stage, sepsis and respiratory failure in the death group were higher than those in the survival group, while mean arterial pressure (MAP) and red blood cell count were lower than those in the survival group. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the 28-day survival rate of the high RDW group was significantly lower than that of the low RDW group (log-rank χ 2 = 9.970, P = 0.002). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that advanced age (HR = 1.042, 95% CI = 1.021-1.063), decreased MAP (HR = 0.984, 95% CI = 0.969-0.998), stage 3 AKI (HR = 3.318, 95% CI = 1.598-6.890) and increased RDW (HR = 1.255, 95% CI = 1.123-1.403) were independent risk factors of 28-day all-cause death in critical diabetic patients with AKI (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION High level of RDW is an important risk factor of all-cause death in critical diabetic patients with AKI, and it may be used as a valuable index to classify the mortality.

Abstract
Homeostasis and health of multicellular organisms with multiple organs depends on interorgan communication. Tissue injury in one organ disturbs this homeostasis and can lead to disease in multiple organs, or multiorgan failure. Many routes of interorgan crosstalk during homeostasis are relatively well known, but interorgan crosstalk in disease still lacks understanding. In particular, how tissue injury in one organ can drive injury at remote sites and trigger multiorgan failure with high mortality is poorly understood. As examples, acute kidney injury can trigger acute lung injury and cardiovascular dysfunction; pneumonia, sepsis or liver failure conversely can cause kidney failure; lung transplantation very frequently triggers acute kidney injury. Mechanistically, interorgan crosstalk after tissue injury could involve soluble mediators and their target receptors, cellular mediators, in particular immune cells, as well as newly identified neuro-immune connections. In this review, I will focus the discussion of deleterious interorgan crosstalk and its mechanistic concepts on one example, acute kidney injury-induced remote lung injury.

Abstract
AIMS This study was designated to investigate the means through which quercetin confers its cardioprotective action against remote cardiomyopathy elicited by renal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R). Potential involvement of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and its related mechanisms were accentuated herein. MAIN METHODS In anesthetized male Wistar rats, renal I/R was induced by bilateral renal pedicles occlusion for 30 min (ischemia) followed by 24 h reperfusion. Quercetin (50 mg/kg, gavage) was administered at 5 h post reperfusion initiation and 2 h before euthanasia. Cystathionine β-synthase (CBS) inhibitor, amino-oxyacetic acid (AOAA; 10 mg/kg, i.p) was given 30 min prior to each quercetin dose. KEY FINDINGS Quercetin reversed renal I/R induced derangements; as quercetin administration improved renal function and reversed I/R induced histopathological changes in both myocardium and kidney. Further, quercetin enhanced renal CBS content/activity, while mitigated myocardial cystathionine ɤ-lyase (CSE) content/activity as well as myocardial H2S. On the other hand, quercetin augmented myocardial nitric oxide (NO), nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and its nuclear trasnslocation, glutamate cysteine ligase (GCL), reduced glutathione (GSH) and peroxiredoxin-2 (Prx2), while further reduced lipid peroxidation measured as malondialdehyde (MDA) as well as nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB), caspase-3 content and activity, and Rho-kinase activity. SIGNIFICANCE Cardioprotective effects of quercetin may be mediated through regulation of Rho-kinase pathway and H2S production.

Abstract
Cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) is a complex disorder that refers to the category of acute or chronic kidney diseases that induce cardiovascular disease, and inversely, acute or chronic heart diseases that provoke kidney dysfunction. There is a close relationship between renal and cardiovascular disease, possibly due to the presence of common risk factors for both diseases. Thus, it is well known that renal diseases are associated with increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease, suffering cardiac events and even mortality, which is aggravated in those patients with end-stage renal disease or who are undergoing dialysis. Recent works have proposed mineral bone disorders (MBD) as the possible link between kidney dysfunction and the development of cardiovascular outcomes. Traditionally, increased serum phosphate levels have been proposed as one of the main factors responsible for cardiovascular damage in kidney patients. However, recent studies have focused on other MBD components such as the elevation of fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-23, a phosphaturic bone-derived hormone, and the decreased expression of the anti-aging factor Klotho in renal patients. It has been shown that increased FGF-23 levels induce cardiac hypertrophy and dysfunction and are associated with increased cardiovascular mortality in renal patients. Decreased Klotho expression occurs as renal function declines. Despite its expression being absent in myocardial tissue, several studies have demonstrated that this antiaging factor plays a cardioprotective role, especially under elevated FGF-23 levels. The present review aims to collect the recent knowledge about the FGF-23-Klotho axis in the connection between kidney and heart, focusing on their specific role as new therapeutic targets in CRS.

Abstract
Cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) is a pathological link between the kidneys and heart, in which an insult in a kidney or heart leads the other organ to incur damage. CRS is classified into five subtypes, and type 3 (CRS3) is characterized by acute kidney injury as a precursor to subsequent cardiovascular changes. Mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative and nitrosative stress have been reported in the pathophysiology of CRS3. It is known that vitamin C, an antioxidant, has proven protective capacity for cardiac, renal, and vascular endothelial tissues. Therefore, the present study aimed to assess whether vitamin C provides protection to heart and the kidneys in an in vivo CRS3 model. The unilateral renal ischemia and reperfusion (IR) protocol was performed for 60 min in the left kidney of adult mice, with and without vitamin C treatment, immediately after IR or 15 days after IR. Kidneys and hearts were subsequently collected, and the following analyses were conducted: renal morphometric evaluation, serum urea and creatinine levels, high-resolution respirometry, amperometry technique for NO measurement, gene expression of mitochondrial dynamic markers, and NOS. The analyses showed that the left kidney weight was reduced, urea and creatinine levels were increased, mitochondrial oxygen consumption was reduced, NO levels were elevated, and Mfn2 expression was reduced after 15 days of IR compared to the sham group. Oxygen consumption and NO levels in the heart were also reduced. The treatment with vitamin C preserved the left kidney weight, restored renal function, reduced NO levels, decreased iNOS expression, elevated constitutive NOS isoforms, and improved oxygen consumption. In the heart, oxygen consumption and NO levels were improved after vitamin C treatment, whereas the three NOS isoforms were overexpressed. These data indicate that vitamin C provides protection to the kidneys and some beneficial effects to the heart after IR, indicating it may be a preventive approach against cardiorenal insults.

Abstract
Cardiorenal syndrome I (CRS-1) denotes a state in which acute kidney injury occurs in the setting of acute heart failure (AHF). Isoproterenol (Iso) administration is widly used as an AHF model by transiently inducing extreme tachycardia, hypotension, and myocyte apoptosis and/or necrosis. To gain potential insights into renal manifestations of CRS-1, mice were subjected to the Iso-AHF model (50 mg Iso/kg), followed by renal functional and renal cortical assessments over 4 hours Iso induced acute azotemia (doubling of BUN, plasma creatinine) and significantly reduced renal plasma flow (prolonged plasma para-amino-hippurate clearance). Although no morphologic tubular injury was identified, marked increases in renal cortical 'stress markers' (NGAL, HO-1, IL-6, MCP-1 mRNAs) and oxidant stress (decreased glutathione, increased malondialdehyde) were observed. These changes were catalytic Fe dependent, given that the iron chelator desferrioxamine (DFO) significantly blunted, or completely reversed, these renal cortical abnormalities. Despite these acute changes, no lasting renal injury was observed (assessed over 3 days). To determine whether Iso directly impacts tubular cell integrity, cultured proximal tubule (HK-2) cells were exposed to Iso. Substantial Fe dependent cell injury (decreased MTT uptake), and Fe independent increases in HO-1/IL-6 mRNA expression were observed. We conclude that Iso-induced AHF is a useful reversible model of CRS-1. Despite its largely hemodynamic ('pre-renal') nature, Fe-mediated oxidative stress and pro-inflammatory reactions are induced. These arise, at least in part, from direct Iso- induced tubular cell toxicity, rather than simply being secondary to Iso-mediated hemodynamic events. Finally, Iso-triggered renal cytokine production can potentially contribute to 'organ cross talk' and a systemic pro-inflammatory state.

Abstract
Cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) is a multi-organ disease characterized by the complex interaction between heart and kidney during acute or chronic injury. The pathogenesis of CRS involves metabolic, hemodynamic, neurohormonal, and inflammatory mechanisms, and atherosclerotic degeneration. In the process of better understanding the bi-directional pathophysiological aspects of CRS, the need to find precise and easy-to-use markers has also evolved. Based on the new pathophysiological standpoints and an overall vision of the CRS, the literature on renal, cardiac, metabolic, oxidative, and vascular circulating biomarkers was evaluated. Though the effectiveness of different extensively applied biomarkers remains controversial, evidence for several indicators, particularly when combined, has increased in recent years. From new aspects of classic biomarkers to microRNAs, this review aimed at a 360-degree analysis of the pathways that balance the kidney and the heart physiologies. In this delicate system, different markers and their combination can shed light on the diagnosis, risk, and prognosis of CRS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute kidney injury (AKI) has been associated with cardiovascular disease, but this is sparsely studied in non-selected populations and with little attention to the effect in age and renal function. Using nationwide administrative data, we investigated the hypothesis of increased one-year risk of cardiovascular event or death associated with AKI. METHODS In a cohort study, we identified all admissions in Denmark between 2008 and 2018. AKI was defined as ≥1.5 times increase from baseline to peak creatinine during admission, or dialysis. We excluded patients with age <50 years, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <15ml/min/1.73m2, renal transplantation, index-admission due to cardiovascular disease or death during index-admission. The primary outcome was cardiovascular risk within one year from discharge, which was a composite of the secondary outcomes ischemic heart disease, heart failure or stroke. To estimate risks, we applied multiple logistic regression fitted by inverse probability of censoring weighting and stratified estimations by eGFR and age. We adjusted for proteinuria in the subcohort with measurements available. RESULTS Among 565,056 hospital admissions, 39,569 (7.0%) cases of AKI were present. In total, 18,642 patients sustained a cardiovascular outcome. AKI was significantly associated with cardiovascular outcome with an adjusted OR [CI] of 1.33 [1.16-1.53], 1.43 [1.33-1.54], 1.23 [1.14-1.34], 1.38 [1.18-1.62] for eGFR ≥90, 60-89, 30-59 and 15-29ml/min/1.73m2, respectively. When omitting the outcome heart failure, these results were 1.24 [1.06-1.45], 1.22 [1.11-1.33], 1.05 [0.95-1.16], 1.25 [1.02-1.54]. Results did not change substantially in strata of age groups, in AKI stages and in the subcohort adjusted for proteinuria. CONCLUSION Non-selected patients aged 50 years or above with AKI during admission had significantly higher one-year risk of cardiovascular event or death, especially, but not only due to heart failure, independent of age and eGFR.

Abstract
Cardiorenal syndrome is a term that defines the complex bidirectional nature of the interaction between cardiac and renal disease. It is well established that patients with kidney disease have higher incidence of cardiovascular comorbidities and that renal dysfunction is a significant threat to the prognosis of patients with cardiac disease. Fibrosis is a common characteristic of organ injury progression that has been proposed not only as a marker but also as an important driver of the pathophysiology of cardiorenal syndromes. Due to the relevance of fibrosis, its study might give insight into the mechanisms and targets that could potentially be modulated to prevent fibrosis development. The aim of this review was to summarize some of the pathophysiological pathways involved in the fibrotic damage seen in cardiorenal syndromes, such as inflammation, oxidative stress and endoplasmic reticulum stress, which are known to be triggers and mediators of fibrosis.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is defined by a sudden loss of excretory kidney function. AKI is part of a range of conditions summarized as acute kidney diseases and disorders (AKD), in which slow deterioration of kidney function or persistent kidney dysfunction is associated with an irreversible loss of kidney cells and nephrons, which can lead to chronic kidney disease (CKD). New biomarkers to identify injury before function loss await clinical implementation. AKI and AKD are a global concern. In low-income and middle-income countries, infections and hypovolaemic shock are the predominant causes of AKI. In high-income countries, AKI mostly occurs in elderly patients who are in hospital, and is related to sepsis, drugs or invasive procedures. Infection and trauma-related AKI and AKD are frequent in all regions. The large spectrum of AKI implies diverse pathophysiological mechanisms. AKI management in critical care settings is challenging, including appropriate volume control, nephrotoxic drug management, and the timing and type of kidney support. Fluid and electrolyte management are essential. As AKI can be lethal, kidney replacement therapy is frequently required. AKI has a poor prognosis in critically ill patients. Long-term consequences of AKI and AKD include CKD and cardiovascular morbidity. Thus, prevention and early detection of AKI are essential.

Abstract
Hemodynamic instability associated with acute renal replacement therapy (aRRT, HIRRT) and/or with acute kidney injury (AKI) is frequently observed in the intensive care unit; it affects patients' renal recovery, and negatively impacts short- and long-term mortality. A thorough understanding of mechanisms underlying HIRRT and AKI-related hemodynamic instability may allow the physician in adopting adequate strategies to prevent their occurrence and reduce their negative consequences. The aim of this review is to summarize the main alterations occurring in patients with AKI and/or requiring aRRT of those homeostatic mechanisms which regulate hemodynamics and oxygen delivery. In particular, a pathophysiological approach has been used to describe the maladaptive interactions between cardiac output and systemic vascular resistance occurring in these patients and leading to hemodynamic instability. Finally, the potential positive effects of aRRT on these pathophysiological mechanisms and on restoring hemodynamic stability have been described.

Abstract
Cardiorenal syndrome type 3 (CRS-3) is damage to the heart following acute kidney injury (AKI). Although many experiments have found that inflammation, oxidative stress, and cardiomyocyte death are involved in cardiomyocyte pathophysiological alterations during CRS-3, they lack a non-bias analysis to figure out the primary mediator of cardiac dysfunction. Herein proteomic analysis was operated in CRS-3 and growth factor receptor-bound protein 2 (Grb2) was identified as a regulator involving AKI-related myocardial damage. Increased Grb2 was associated with cardiac diastolic dysfunction and mitochondrial bioenergetics impairment; these pathological changes could be reversed through the administration of a Grb2-specific inhibitor during AKI. Molecular investigation illustrated that augmented Grb2 promoted cardiomyocyte mitochondrial metabolism disorder through inhibiting the Akt/mTOR signaling pathway. Besides that, Mouse Inflammation Array Q1 further identified IL-6 as the upstream stimulator of Grb2 upregulation after AKI. Exogenous administration of IL-6 induced cardiomyocyte damage and mitochondrial bioenergetics impairment, whereas these effects were nullified in cardiomyocytes pretreated with Grb2 inhibitor. Our results altogether identify CRS-3 to be caused by the upregulations of IL-6/Grb2 which contribute to cardiac dysfunction through inhibiting the Akt/mTOR signaling pathway and inducing cardiomyocyte mitochondrial bioenergetics impairment. This finding provides a potential target for the clinical treatment of patients with CRS-3.

Abstract
The incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) has increased in the past decades. AKI complicates up to 15% of hospitalizations and can reach up to 50-60% in critically ill patients. Besides the short-term impact of AKI in patient outcomes, several studies report the association between AKI and adverse long-term outcomes, such as recurrent AKI episodes in 25-30% of cases, hospital re-admissions in up to 40% of patients, an increased risk of cardiovascular events, an increased risk of progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) after AKI and a significantly increased long-term mortality. Despite the long-term impact of AKI, there are neither established guidelines on the follow-up care of AKI patients, nor treatment strategies to reduce the incidence of sequelae after AKI. Only a minority of patients have been referred to nephrology post-discharge care, despite the evidence of improved outcomes associated with nephrology referral by addressing cardiovascular risk and risk of progression to CKD. Indeed, AKI survivors should have specialized nephrology follow-up to assess kidney function after AKI, perform medication reconciliation, educate patients on nephrotoxic avoidance and implement strategies to prevent CKD progression. The authors provide a comprehensive review of the transition from AKI to CKD, analyse the current evidence on the long-term outcomes of AKI and describe predisposing risk factors, highlight the importance of follow-up care in these patients and describe the current therapeutic strategies which are being investigated on their impact in improving patient outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe the associations between right ventricular (RV) function and outcomes of patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) requiring continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). METHODS This is a retrospective study, conducted 2006-2015 at an academic hospital in USA. We included patients with AKI requiring CRRT who had paired echocardiograms within 2 weeks before and after CRRT initiation. We defined improvement in RV systolic function as 2-point improvement on the semiquantitative scale. RESULTS The cohort included 201 patients. The mean(±SD) age was 59(±16) years with 83(41%) female. The median time of the pre and post echocardiograms relative to CRRT initiation were - 1 day (IQR-3;0) prior to and 3 days (IQR1;7) after CRRT initiation. Thirty-one (15%) patients showed an improvement in their RV function. Using a multivariable logistic regression model, improvement in RV systolic function was associated with lower odds of major adverse kidney events (composite of mortality, need for dialysis or persistently elevated serum creatinine) at 90 days with odds ratio (OR) of 0.37(95%CI:0.17-0.84, p.016). Positive cumulative fluid balance was associated with lower odds of improvement in RV function (OR 0.95 per 1-l increase, p 0.045). CONCLUSION Serial assessment of RV function among patients with AKI requiring CRRT could provide prognostic value.

Characterization of the Oxidative Stress in Renal Ischemia/Reperfusion-Induced Cardiorenal Syndrome Type 3. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2020; 2020:1605358.

Abstract
In kidney disease (KD), several factors released into the bloodstream can induce a series of changes in the heart, leading to a wide variety of clinical situations called cardiorenal syndrome (CRS). Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play an important role in the signaling and progression of systemic inflammatory conditions, as observed in KD. The aim of the present study was to characterize the redox balance in renal ischemia/reperfusion-induced cardiac remodeling. C57BL/6 male mice were subjected to occlusion of the left renal pedicle, unilateral, for 60 min, followed by reperfusion for 8 and 15 days, respectively. The following redox balance components were evaluated: catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), total antioxidant capacity (FRAP), NADPH oxidase (NOX), nitric oxide synthase (NOS), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and the tissue bioavailability of nitric oxide (NO) such as S-nitrosothiol (RSNO) and nitrite (NO2−). The results indicated a process of renoprotection in both kidneys, indicated by the reduction of cellular damage and some oxidant agents. We also observed an increase in the activity of antioxidant enzymes, such as SOD, and an increase in NO bioavailability. In the heart, we noticed an increase in the activity of NOX and NOS, together with increased cell damage on day 8, followed by a reduction in protein damage on day 15. The present study concludes that the kidneys and heart undergo distinct processes of damage and repair at the analyzed times, since the heart is a secondary target of ischemic kidney injury. These results are important for a better understanding of the cellular mechanisms involved in CRS.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication in patients hospitalized with heart failure (HF). There is a paucity of research on the incidence and consequences of AKI among patients hospitalized with HF who do not have evidence of chronic kidney disease (CKD). The National Inpatient Sample database was used to identify index hospitalizations for acute HF from January 2012 through September 2015. The incidence of new-onset AKI was determined, and the study population was divided into two groups: HF with AKI (HFwAKI) and HF without AKI (HFwoAKI). These groups were further divided into the subgroups HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). A total of 2,010,095 index hospitalizations for HF were identified. The incidence of new-onset AKI was found to be ~ 20% for this population. In a fully adjusted model, in-hospital mortality was higher in the HFwAKI group (adjusted OR 3.63, P ≤ 0.001) and higher among patients with HFrEF (adjusted OR 3.85), as opposed to patients with HFpEF (adjusted OR 3.21). Similarly, length of stay and cost of care for the HFwAKI group were significantly higher as well. New-onset AKI among hospitalizations for HF poses a significant health problem, especially considering the increasing prevalence of HF. Further research into the causes of AKI among HF hospitalizations is, therefore, important as it will enable the development of treatment strategies to prevent AKI in HF hospitalizations and, consequently, benefit both the patients and health care system of the United States.

Abstract
Cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) encompasses various disorders of the heart and kidneys; dysfunction of one organ leads to acute or chronic dysfunction of the other. It incorporates the intersection of heart-kidney interactions across several mediums, hemodynamically, through the alterations in neurohormonal markers, and increased venous and renal pressure, all of which are hallmarks of its clinical phenotypes. This article explores the epidemiology, pathology, classification and treatment of each type of CRS.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication in critically ill patients and it is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Epidemiological and clinical data show that AKI is linked to a wide range of distant organ injuries, with the lungs, heart, liver, and intestines representing the most clinically relevant affected organs. This distant organ injury during AKI predisposes patients to progression to multiple organ dysfunction syndrome and ultimately, death. The strongest direct evidence of distant organ injury occurring in AKI has been obtained from animal models. The identified mechanisms include systemic inflammatory changes, oxidative stress, increases in leucocyte trafficking and the activation of proapoptotic pathways. Understanding the pathways driving AKI-induced distal organ injury are critical for the development and refinement of therapies for the prevention and attenuation of AKI-related morbidity and mortality. The purpose of this review is to summarize both clinical and preclinical studies of AKI and its role in distant organ injury.
