[PMID: 39122123 DOI: 10.1016/j.nbd.2024.106626] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/24/2024] [Revised: 07/31/2024] [Accepted: 08/02/2024] [Indexed: 08/12/2024] Open
Abstract
The kidney-brain axis is a bidirectional communication network connecting the kidneys and the brain, potentially affected by inflammation, uremic toxin, vascular injury, neuronal degeneration, and so on, leading to a range of diseases. Numerous studies emphasize the disruptions of the kidney-brain axis may contribute to the high morbidity of neurological disorders, such as cognitive impairment (CI) in the natural course of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Although the pathophysiology of the kidney-brain axis has not been fully elucidated, epidemiological data indicate that patients at all stages of CKD have a higher risk of developing CI compared with the general population. In contrast to other reviews, we mentioned some commonly used medicines in CKD that may play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of CI. Revealing the pathophysiology interactions between kidney damage and brain function can reduce the potential risk of future CI. This review will deeply explore the characteristics, indicators, and potential pathophysiological mechanisms of CKD-related CI. It will provide a theoretical basis for identifying CI that progresses during CKD and ultimately prevents and treats CKD-related CI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute kidney injury (AKI) causes distant liver injury, to date, which causes poor outcomes of patients with AKI. Many studies have been performed to overcome AKI-associated liver injury. However, those studies have mainly focused on hepatocytes, and AKI-induced liver injury still remains a clinical problem. Here, we investigated the implication of cholangiocytes and their primary cilia which are critical in final bile secretion. Cholangiocyte, a lining cell of bile ducts, are the only liver epithelial cell containing primary cilium (a microtubule-based cell surface signal-sensing organelle). METHODS Cystathione γ-lyase (CSE, a transsulfuration enzyme) deficient and wild-type mice were subjected to kidney ischemia followed by reperfusion (KIR). Some mice were administered with N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC). RESULTS KIR damaged hepatocytes and cholagiocytes, disrupted cholangiocytes primary cilia, released the disrupted ciliary fragments into the bile, and caused abnormal bile secretion. Glutathione (GSH) and H2S levels in the livers were significantly reduced by KIR, resulting in increased the ratio oxidized GSH to total GSH, and oxidation of tissue and bile. CSE and cystathione β-synthase (CBS) expression were lowered in the liver after KIR. NAC administration increased total GSH and H2S levels in the liver and attenuated KIR-induced liver injuries. In contrast, Cse deletion caused the reduction of total GSH levels and worsened KIR-induced liver injuries, including primary cilia damage and abnormal bile secretion. CONCLUSIONS These results indicate that KIR causes cholangiocyte damage, cholangiocytes primary cilia disruption, and abnormal bile secretion through reduced antioxidative ability of the liver.

[PMID: 38759334 DOI: 10.1016/j.jss.2024.04.023] [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: 08/20/2023] [Revised: 03/20/2024] [Accepted: 04/17/2024] [Indexed: 05/19/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Renal ischemia reperfusion injury is a major cause of perioperative acute kidney injury. Alpha-1-antitrypsin (AAT), a protease inhibitor, might improve outcomes by reducing inflammation and apoptosis. We investigated the effects of a single intravenous dose of AAT immediately before ischemia in a rat bilateral renal clamping model. METHODS Both renal pedicles of male Sprague-Dawley rats were clamped (45 min). Plasma and renal tissue were collected at 3 h, 24 h, and 7 d. Intravenous AAT (60 mg/kg) was administered 5 min before clamping. Controls received saline. Shams underwent surgery without clamping or injection. Kidney function was assessed by plasma creatinine; injury by aspartate aminotransferase, heart-type-fatty-acid-binding-protein, and histopathology. Renal gene expression of tumor necrosis factor α, interleukin (IL)-6, heat shock protein 70, Chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 2, cyclo-oxygenase 2, endothelin-1, IL-10, heme oxygenase 1, B-cell lymphoma 2, and bcl-2-like protein 4 were determined by quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS None of the 3 h and 24 h end points were different between Control and AAT. In Sham, survival was 100% (6/6), 33% in Control (2/6), and 83% (5/6) in AAT (overall log-rank 0.03). At 7 d, plasma creatinine was lower with higher glomerular filtration rate in surviving AAT treated animals compared to Control (P < 0.001, P 0.03, respectively). These also had lower tumor necrosis factor α and IL-6 gene expression (P 0.001, P < 0.001, respectively). CONCLUSIONS These data suggest that a single intravenous dose of AAT immediately before ischemia might affect proinflammatory gene expression, glomerular filtration rate and animal survival at 1 wk after reperfusion despite an absence of improvement in early renal function and injury. These findings deserve further investigating in sufficiently powered studies including both sexes.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) causes distant organ dysfunction through yet unknown mechanisms, leading to multiorgan failure and death. The lungs are one of the most common extrarenal organs affected by AKI, and combined lung and kidney injury has a mortality as high as 60%-80%. One mechanism that has been implicated in lung injury after AKI involves molecules released from injured kidney cells (DAMPs, or damage-associated molecular patterns) that promote a noninfectious inflammatory response by binding to pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) constitutively expressed on the pulmonary endothelium. To date there are limited data investigating the role of PRRs and DAMPs in the pulmonary endothelial response to AKI. Understanding these mechanisms holds great promise for therapeutics aimed at ameliorating the devastating effects of AKI. In this study, we stimulate primary human microvascular endothelial cells with DAMPs derived from injured primary renal tubular epithelial cells (RTECs) as an ex-vivo model of lung injury following AKI. We show that DAMPs derived from injured RTECs cause activation of Toll-Like Receptor and NOD-Like Receptor signaling pathways as well as increase human primary pulmonary microvascular endothelial cell (HMVEC) cytokine production, cell signaling activation, and permeability. We further show that cytokine production in HMVECs in response to DAMPs derived from RTECs is reduced by the inhibition of NOD1 and NOD2, which may have implications for future therapeutics. This paper adds to our understanding of PRR expression and function in pulmonary HMVECs and provides a foundation for future work aimed at developing therapeutic strategies to prevent lung injury following AKI.

Abstract
As a central metabolic molecule, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) can potentially treat acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD); however, its bioavailability is poor due to short half-life, instability, the deficiency of targeting, and difficulties in transmembrane transport. Here a physiologically adaptive gallic acid-NAD+ nanoparticle is designed, which has ultrasmall size and pH-responsiveness, passes through the glomerular filtration membrane to reach injured renal tubules, and efficiently delivers NAD+ into the kidneys. With an effective accumulation in the kidneys, it restores renal function, immune microenvironment homeostasis, and mitochondrial homeostasis of AKI mice via the NAD+-Sirtuin-1 axis, and exerts strong antifibrotic effects on the AKI-to-CKD transition by inhibiting TGF-β signaling. It also exhibits excellent stability, biodegradable, and biocompatible properties, ensuring its long-term safety, practicality, and clinical translational feasibility. The present study shows a potential modality of mitochondrial repair and immunomodulation through nanoagents for the efficient and safe treatment of AKI and CKD.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) can cause distal cardiac dysfunction; however, the underlying mechanism is unknown. Oxidative stress is proved prominent in AKI-induced cardiac dysfunction, and a possible bridge role of oxidative-stress products in cardio-renal interaction has been reported. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the critical role of circulating reactive oxygen species (ROS) in mediating cardiac dysfunction after bilateral renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). We observed the diastolic dysfunction in the mice following renal IRI, accompanied by reduced ATP levels, oxidative stress, and branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) accumulation in the heart. Notably, ROS levels showed a sequential increase in the kidneys, circulation, and heart. Treatment with tempol, an ROS scavenger, significantly restored cardiac diastolic function in the renal IRI mice, corroborating the bridge role of circulating ROS. Accumulating evidence has identified oxidative stress as upstream of Mst1/Hippo in cardiac injury, which could regulate the expression of downstream genes related to mitochondrial quality control, leading to lower ATP, higher ROS and metabolic disorder. To verify this, we examined the activation of the Mst1/Hippo pathway in the heart of renal IRI mice, which was alleviated by tempol treatment as well. In vitro, analysis revealed that Mst1-knockdown cardiomyocytes could be activated by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Analysis of Mst1-overexpression cardiomyocytes confirmed the critical role of the Mst1/Hippo pathway in oxidative stress and BCAA dysmetabolism. Therefore, our results indicated that circulating ROS following renal IRI activates the Mst1/Hippo pathway of myocardium, leading to cardiac oxidative stress and diastolic dysfunction. This finding provides new insights for the clinical exploration of improved treatment options for cardiorenal syndrome.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI), a prevalent clinical syndrome, involves the participation of the nervous system in neuroimmune regulation. However, the intricate molecular mechanism that governs renal function regulation by the central nervous system (CNS) is complex and remains incompletely understood. In the present study, we found that the upregulated expression of lncTCONS_00058568 in lower thoracic spinal cord significantly ameliorated AKI-induced renal tissue injury, kidney morphology, inflammation and apoptosis, and suppressed renal sympathetic nerve activity. Mechanistically, the purinergic ionotropic P2X7 receptor (P2X7R) was overexpressed in AKI rats, whereas lncTCONS_00058568 was able to suppress the upregulation of P2X7R. In addition, RNA sequencing data revealed differentially expressed genes associated with nervous system inflammatory responses after lncTCONS_00058568 was overexpressed in AKI rats. Finally, the overexpression of lncTCONS_00058568 inhibited the activation of PI3K/Akt and NF-κB signaling pathways in spinal cord. Taken together, the results from the present study show that lncTCONS_00058568 overexpression prevented renal injury probably by inhibiting sympathetic nerve activity mediated by P2X7R in the lower spinal cord subsequent to I/R-AKI.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Nutrition plays a vital role in the outcome of critical illness in children, particularly those with acute kidney injury. Currently, there are no established guidelines for children with acute kidney injury treated with continuous kidney replacement therapy. Our objective was to create clinical practice points for nutritional assessment and management in critically ill children with acute kidney injury receiving continuous kidney replacement therapy. METHODS An electronic search using PubMed and an inclusive academic library search (including MEDLINE, Cochrane, and Embase databases) was conducted to find relevant English-language articles on nutrition therapy for children (<18 y of age) receiving continuous kidney replacement therapy. RESULTS The existing literature was reviewed by our work group, comprising pediatric nephrologists and experts in nutrition. The modified Delphi method was then used to develop a total of 45 clinical practice points. The best methods for nutritional assessment are discussed. Indirect calorimetry is the most reliable method of predicting resting energy expenditure in children on continuous kidney replacement therapy. Schofield equations can be used when indirect calorimetry is not available. The non-intentional calories contributed by continuous kidney replacement therapy should also be accounted for during caloric dosing. Protein supplementation should be increased to account for the proteins, peptides, and amino acids lost with continuous kidney replacement therapy. CONCLUSIONS Clinical practice points are provided on nutrition assessment, determining energy needs, and nutrient intake in children with acute kidney injury and on continuous kidney replacement therapy based on the existing literature and expert opinions of a multidisciplinary panel.

Emerging progressive atypical acute kidney injury in young children linked to ethylene glycol and diethylene glycol intoxication. Pediatr Nephrol 2024; 39:897-904. [PMID: 37755463 DOI: 10.1007/s00467-023-06157-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2023] [Revised: 08/31/2023] [Accepted: 08/31/2023] [Indexed: 09/28/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND There had been a sudden surge of unusually severe and rapidly progressing acute kidney injury (AKI) incidence in Indonesia since August 2022 which did not correspond to the rise of COVID-19 incidence. We suspected this was related to ethylene glycol (EG) and diethylene glycol (DEG) intoxication. This study is aimed at describing the clinical and laboratory characteristics of AKI related to D(EG) intoxication in order to spread awareness of the possibility of intoxication in cases of rapidly progressing AKI with unknown etiology. METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional study by collecting secondary data from the pediatric AKI registry at a national referral hospital in Jakarta, Indonesia. Data on children admitted from January to November 2022 with diagnosis of stage 3 AKI based on KDIGO criteria were included. Data regarding demographics, symptoms prior to anuria, laboratory results, infection panel including COVID-19 status, treatment administered, and mortality were analyzed. RESULTS Sixteen patients tested positive for EG and DEG, all with history of consuming syrup-based medications. High anion gap metabolic acidosis was observed in majority of patients with mean pH 7.33 ± 0.07 and mean anion gap 15.6 ± 7.8 mEq/L. No patient had high osmolal gap (mean osmolal gap 3.46 ± 4.68). One deceased patient, who had kidney biopsy performed, showed severe damage and calcium oxalate crystals in the kidney tissue. Mortality was recorded in six patients (37.5%). CONCLUSION Careful history taking of patient's clinical course, including consumption of syrup-based medications and laboratory findings, might aid clinicians to establish a working diagnosis of D(EG) intoxication without needing to wait for blood toxicology test. Early diagnosis and therapy are crucial to prevent substantial mortality.

Abstract
There has been growing interest in using quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to describe and understand the pathophysiology of acute kidney injury (AKI). The ability to assess kidney blood flow, perfusion, oxygenation, and changes in tissue microstructure at repeated timepoints is hugely appealing, as this offers new possibilities to describe nature and severity of AKI, track the time-course to recovery or progression to chronic kidney disease (CKD), and may ultimately provide a method to noninvasively assess response to new therapies. This could have significant clinical implications considering that AKI is common (affecting more than 13 million people globally every year), harmful (associated with short and long-term morbidity and mortality), and currently lacks specific treatments. However, this is also a challenging area to study. After the kidney has been affected by an initial insult that leads to AKI, complex coexisting processes ensue, which may recover or can progress to CKD. There are various preclinical models of AKI (from which most of our current understanding derives), and these differ from each other but more importantly from clinical AKI. These aspects are fundamental to interpreting the results of the different AKI studies in which renal MRI has been used, which encompass different settings of AKI and a variety of MRI measures acquired at different timepoints. This review aims to provide a comprehensive description and interpretation of current studies (both preclinical and clinical) in which MRI has been used to assess AKI, and discuss future directions in the field. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 1 TECHNICAL EFFICACY: Stage 3.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nutrition plays a vital role in the outcome of critically ill children, particularly those with AKI. Currently, there are no established guidelines for children with AKI treated with continuous RRT (CRRT). A thorough understanding of the metabolic changes and nutritional challenges in AKI and CRRT is required. Our objective was to create clinical practice points for nutritional assessment and management in critically ill children with AKI receiving CRRT. METHODS PubMed, MEDLINE, Cochrane, and Embase databases were searched for articles related to the topic. Expertise of the authors and a consensus of the workgroup were additional sources of data in the article. Available articles on nutrition therapy in pediatric patients receiving CRRT through January 2023. RESULTS On the basis of the literature review, the current evidence base was examined by a panel of experts in pediatric nephrology and nutrition. The panel used the literature review as well as their expertise to formulate clinical practice points. The modified Delphi method was used to identify and refine clinical practice points. CONCLUSIONS Forty-four clinical practice points are provided on nutrition assessment, determining energy needs, and nutrient intake in children with AKI and on CRRT on the basis of the existing literature and expert opinions of a multidisciplinary panel.

Abstract
As a recently discovered waste removal system in the brain, cerebral lymphatic system is thought to play an important role in regulating the homeostasis of the central nervous system. Currently, more and more attention is being focused on the cerebral lymphatic system. Further understanding of the structural and functional characteristics of cerebral lymphatic system is essential to better understand the pathogenesis of diseases and to explore therapeutic approaches. In this review, we summarize the structural components and functional characteristics of cerebral lymphatic system. More importantly, it is closely associated with peripheral system diseases in the gastrointestinal tract, liver, and kidney. However, there is still a gap in the study of the cerebral lymphatic system. However, we believe that it is a critical mediator of the interactions between the central nervous system and the peripheral system.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury development after trauma, burn, or sepsis occurs frequently but remains a scientific and clinical challenge. Whereas the pathophysiological focus has mainly been on hemodynamics and the downstream renal tubular system, little is known about alterations upstream within the glomerulus post trauma or during sepsis. Particularly for the glomerular endothelial cells, mesangial cells, basal membrane, and podocytes, all of which form the glomerular filter, there are numerous in vitro studies on the molecular and functional consequences upon exposure of single cell types to specific damage- or microbial-associated molecular patterns. By contrast, a lack of knowledge exists in the real world regarding the orchestrated inflammatory response of the glomerulus post trauma or burn or during sepsis. Therefore, we aim to provide an overview on the glomerulus as an immune target but also as a perpetrator of the danger response to traumatic and septic conditions, and present major players involved in the context of critical illness. Finally, we highlight research gaps of this rather neglected but worthwhile area to define future molecular targets and therapeutic strategies to prevent or improve the course of AKI after trauma, burn, or sepsis.

Abstract
Introduction This study aimed to assess head circumference (HC) growth and neurodevelopmental outcomes in very preterm-birth children after neonatal acute kidney injury (AKI). Methods This longitudinal follow-up cohort included 732 very preterm neonates of gestational age <31 weeks admitted to a tertiary center between 2008 and 2020. AKI was categorized as nonoliguric and oliguric AKI based on the urine output criteria during admission. We compared the differences in death, z scores of HC (zHC) at term-equivalent age (TEA) and at corrected ages of 6, 12, and 24 months, and the neurodevelopmental outcomes at corrected age of 24 months after neonatal nonoliguric and oliguric AKI. Results Among the 154 neonates who developed AKI, 72 had oliguric AKI and 82 had nonoliguric AKI. At TEA, oliguric AKI, but not nonoliguric AKI, was independently associated with lower zHC than non-AKI (mean differences, -0.49; 95% confidence interval [CI], -0.92 to -0.06). Although the 3 groups were comparable in zHC at corrected ages of 6, 12, and 24 months, the oliguric AKI group, but not the nonoliguric AKI group, had a higher rate of microcephaly by corrected age of 24 months. In addition, the oliguric AKI group, but not the nonoliguric AKI group, was more likely to die (61% vs. 9%) and have neurodevelopmental impairment (41% vs. 14%) compare with the non-AKI group. After adjustment, oliguric (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 8.97; 95% CI, 2.19-36.76), but not nonoliguric, AKI was associated with neurodevelopmental impairment. Conclusion Neonatal oliguric AKI is associated with neurodevelopmental impairment in very preterm-birth children. Long-term head-size and neurodevelopmental follow-up after neonatal AKI is warranted.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common subsequent problem after many medical conditions. AKI is associated with distant organ dysfunction where systemic inflammation and oxidative stress play major roles. In this study, the effect of Prazosin, an α1-Adrenergic receptor antagonist, was investigated on the liver injury induced by kidney ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) in rats. Male adult Wistar rats (n=21) were divided into three groups: sham, kidney I/R, and kidney I/R pre-treated with Prazosin (1 mg/kg). Kidney I/R was induced by vascular clamping of the left kidney for 45 min to reduce the blood flow. Oxidative and antioxidant factors along with apoptotic (Bax, Bcl-2, caspase3), and inflammatory (NF-κβ, IL-1β, and IL-6) factors were measured in the liver at protein levels. Prazosin could reserve liver function (p<0.01) and increase glutathione level (p<0.05) after kidney I/R significantly. Malonil dialdehyde (MDA), a lipid peroxidation marker, was diminished more significantly in Prazosin-treated rats compared to the kidney I/R group (p<0.001). Inflammatory and apoptotic factors were diminished by Prazosin pre-treatment in the liver tissue (p<0.05). Pre-administration of Prazosin could preserve liver function and decrease its inflammatory and apoptotic factors under kidney I/R conditions.

Diagnostic and Prognostic Roles of C-Reactive Protein, Procalcitonin, and Presepsin in Acute Kidney Injury Patients Initiating Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy.

Abstract
For reducing the high mortality rate of severe acute kidney injury (AKI) patients initiating continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), diagnosing sepsis and predicting prognosis are essential. However, with reduced renal function, biomarkers for diagnosing sepsis and predicting prognosis are unclear. This study aimed to assess whether C-reactive protein (CRP), procalcitonin, and presepsin could be used to diagnose sepsis and predict mortality in patients with impaired renal function initiating CRRT. This was a single-center, retrospective study involving 127 patients who initiated CRRT. Patients were divided into sepsis and non-sepsis groups according to the SEPSIS-3 criteria. Of the 127 patients, 90 were in the sepsis group and 37 were in the non-sepsis group. Cox regression analysis was performed to determine the association between the biomarkers (CRP, procalcitonin, and presepsin) and survival. CRP and procalcitonin were superior to presepsin for diagnosing sepsis. Presepsin was closely related to the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) (r = -0.251, p = 0.004). These biomarkers were also evaluated as prognostic markers. Procalcitonin levels ≥3 ng/mL and CRP levels ≥31 mg/L were associated with higher all-cause mortality using Kaplan-Meier curve analysis. (log-rank test p = 0.017 and p = 0.014, respectively). In addition, procalcitonin levels ≥3 ng/mL and CRP levels ≥31 mg/L were associated with higher mortality in univariate Cox proportional hazards model analysis. In conclusion, a higher lactic acid, sequential organ failure assessment score, eGFR, and a lower albumin level have prognostic value to predict mortality in patients with sepsis initiating CRRT. Moreover, among these biomarkers, procalcitonin and CRP are significant factors for predicting the survival of AKI patients with sepsis-initiating CRRT.

[PMID: 36551921 PMCID: PMC9775076 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines10123166] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2022] [Accepted: 12/05/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) represents a major pivotal point in gastrointestinal endoscopy. Little is known about acute kidney injury (AKI) post-ERCP. This study analyses the incidence, risk factors, and prognosis of post-ERCP AKI. Methods: A total of 396 patients were prospectively studied. AKI was defined by an increase in serum creatinine (SCr) ≥ 0.3 mg/dL or by an increase in SCr ≥ 50% in the first 48 h post-ERCP. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify the predictors of AKI and in-hospital mortality. A two-tailed p value < 0.05 was considered significant. Results: One hundred and three patients (26%) developed post-ERCP AKI. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) = 0.95, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.94−0.96, p < 0.001), nonrenal Charlson Comorbidity Index (Aor = 1.19, 95% CI: 1.05−1.35, p = 0.006), choledocholithiasis (aOR = 4.05, 95% CI: 1.98−8.29, p < 0.001), and bilirubin (aOR = 1.1, 95% CI: 1.05−1.15, p < 0.001) were associated with post-ERCP AKI. Post-ERCP AKI was associated with longer hospital stay (p < 0.001) and with increased in-hospital mortality (7.76% versus 0.36%, p < 0.001). Moderate-to-severe (stage 2 and 3) AKI was independently associated with in-hospital mortality (aOR = 6.43, 95% CI: 1.48−27.88, p < 0.013). Conclusions: Post-ERCP AKI represented an important complication associated with longer hospital stay. Moderate-to-severe post-ERCP AKI was an independent risk factor for in-hospital mortality.

Abstract
Background Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is commonly employed for rhabdomyolysis (RM) patients. However, the optimal initiation timing of CRRT and prognostic factors were not well evaluated for patients with RM. We aimed to investigate the efficacy of CRRT timing on mortality and the risk factors for death in RM patients who received CRRT. Methods RM patients who received CRRT between 1 May 2010 and 31 May 2021 in our center were retrospectively included. Univariate and multivariate logistic analyses were performed to identify the risk factors for primary outcome (90-day mortality). Results A total of 134 patients were included in our study. The 90-day mortality rate was 38.06%. The median time from CRRT initiation to peak CK occurrence was 4.8 h (IQR −16, 14), 67 patients received CRRT before 4.8 h after peak CK occurrence (early CRRT), and 67 patients received CRRT beyond 4.8 h after peak CK occurrence (late CRRT). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the time from CRRT initiation to the peak CK (per 1 h, OR 1.026, 95% CI 1.004–1.049, p = 0.023), late CRRT (OR 3.082, 95% CI 1.072–8.859, p = 0.037), elevated serum cardiac troponin I (cTnI) (per 1 ng/mL, OR 1.218, 95% CI 1.011–1.468, p = 0.038), older age (per 1 year, OR 1.042, 95% CI 1.003–1.081, p = 0.032), and need of mechanical ventilation support (OR 4.632, 95% CI 1.292–16.61, p = 0.019) were independent risk factors for 90-day mortality. Conclusions Earlier CRRT initiation before 4.8 h after peak CK occurrence was associated with lower 90-day patient 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.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC)-derived small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) show therapeutic potential in multiple disease models, including kidney injury. Clinical translation of sEVs requires further preclinical and regulatory developments, including elucidation of the biodistribution and mode of action (MoA). Biodistribution can be determined using labelled sEVs in animal models which come with ethical concerns, are time-consuming and expensive, and may not well represent human physiology. We hypothesised that, based on developments in microfluidics and human organoid technology, in vitro multi-organ-on-a-chip (MOC) models allow us to study effects of sEVs in modelled human organs like kidney and liver in a semi-systemic manner. Human kidney- and liver organoids combined by microfluidic channels maintained physiological functions, and a kidney injury model was established using hydrogenperoxide. MSC-sEVs were isolated, and their size, density and potential contamination were analysed. These sEVs stimulated recovery of the renal epithelium after injury. Microscopic analysis shows increased accumulation of PKH67-labelled sEVs not only in injured kidney cells, but also in the unharmed liver organoids, compared to healthy control conditions. In conclusion, this new MOC model recapitulates therapeutic efficacy and biodistribution of MSC-sEVs as observed in animal models. Its human background allows for in-depth analysis of the MoA and identification of potential side effects.

Abstract
RATIONALE & OBJECTIVE Acute kidney injury (AKI) causes biochemical changes in the brain in animal models and is associated with adverse neurological complications in hospitalized patients. This study tested the association between AKI and incident dementia in a community-based cohort. STUDY DESIGN Prospective cohort study. SETTING & PARTICIPANTS Adult participants in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study who experienced hospitalized AKI compared with participants hospitalized for other reasons (primary analysis, mean follow-up period 4.3 years) or participants without hospitalized AKI (secondary analysis). PREDICTORS Incident AKI, defined by ICD codes from hospital records. OUTCOME Incident dementia, diagnosed based on a combination of neurocognitive testing, informant interviews, ICD codes, and death certificates. ANALYTICAL APPROACH In the primary analysis, we estimated the propensity for hospitalized AKI and matched these participants with those hospitalized for another reason to examine the association of AKI with subsequent onset of dementia (N = 1,708). In the secondary analysis, we estimated the association between time-varying hospitalized AKI and subsequent onset of dementia using multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression models, adjusted for age, sex, race/center, education, smoking status, body mass index, baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate, baseline urinary albumin-creatinine ratio, systolic blood pressure, coronary heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, apolipoprotein E (APOE) ε4 allele, and C-reactive protein. RESULTS The mean age in the propensity-matched cohort was 76.1 ± 6.5 (SD) years, and 53.2% of the participants were women. People who were hospitalized with AKI had a higher risk of dementia (HR, 1.25 [95% CI, 1.02-1.52]; P = 0.03) compared with those without a hospitalization for AKI. The associations were slightly stronger in the time-varying analysis (HR, 1.69 [95% CI, 1.48-1.92]; P < 0.001). Other risk factors for dementia included older age, male sex, higher albuminuria, diabetes, current smoker status, and presence of the APOE risk alleles. LIMITATIONS Observational study, with AKI identified through diagnosis codes. CONCLUSIONS Participants who experienced a hospitalization for AKI were at increased risk of dementia.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury is a known clinical risk factor for delirium, an acute cognitive dysfunction that is commonly encountered in the critically ill population. In this comprehensive review of clinical and basic research studies, we detail the epidemiology, clinical implications, pathogenesis, and management strategies of patients with acute kidney injury-associated delirium. Specifically addressed are the pathological roles of endogenous toxin or drug accumulation, acute kidney injury-mediated neuroinflammation, and acute kidney injury-associated volume overload as discrete potential biological mechanisms of the condition. The optimization of clinical contributors and normalization of renal function are reviewed as pragmatic management strategies in addition to potential and emerging therapeutic approaches.

Abstract
Although sepsis and acute kidney injury (AKI) have a bidirectional interplay, the pathophysiological mechanisms between AKI and sepsis are not clarified and worthy of a comprehensive and updated review. The primary pathophysiology of sepsis-associated AKI (SA-AKI) includes inflammatory cascade, macrovascular and microvascular dysfunction, cell cycle arrest, and apoptosis. The pathophysiology of sepsis following AKI contains fluid overload, hyperinflammatory state, immunosuppression, and infection associated with kidney replacement therapy and catheter cannulation. The preventive strategies for SA-AKI are non-specific, mainly focusing on infection control and preventing further kidney insults. On the other hand, the preventive strategies for sepsis following AKI might focus on decreasing some metabolites, cytokines, or molecules harmful to our immunity, supplementing vitamin D3 for its immunomodulation effect, and avoiding fluid overload and unnecessary catheter cannulation. To date, several limitations persistently prohibit the understanding of the bidirectional pathophysiologies. Conducting studies, such as the Kidney Precision Medicine Project, to investigate human kidney tissue and establishing parameters or scores better to determine the occurrence timing of sepsis and AKI and the definition of SA-AKI might be the prospects to unveil the mystery and improve the prognoses of AKI patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study evaluated postoperative AKI severity and its relation to short- and long-term patient outcomes. DESIGN A retrospective, single-center cohort study of patients undergoing surgery from January 2015 to May 2020. SETTING An urban, academic medical center. PATIENTS Adult patients undergoing elective, non-cardiac surgery at our institution with a postoperative length of stay (LOS) of at least 24 h were included. Patients were included in 1-year mortality analysis if their procedure occurred prior to June 2019. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS Postoperative AKI was identified and staged using the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes definitions. The outcomes analyzed were in-hospital mortality, LOS, total cost of the surgical hospitalization, and 1-year mortality. MAIN RESULTS Of the 8887 patients studied, 648 (7.3%) had postoperative AKI. AKI was associated with severity-dependent increases in all outcomes studied. Patients with AKI had rates of in-hospital mortality of 2.0%, 3.8%, and 12.5% for stage 1, 2, and 3 AKI compared to 0.3% for patients without AKI. Mean total costs of the surgical hospitalization were $23,896 (SD $23,736) for patients without AKI compared to $33,042 (SD $27,115), $39,133 (SD $34,006), and $73,216 ($82,290) for patients with stage 1, 2, and 3 AKI, respectively. In the 6729 patients who met inclusion for 1-year mortality analysis, AKI was also associated with 1-year mortality rates of 13.9%, 19.4%, and 22.7% compared to 5.2% for patients without AKI. In multivariate models, stage 1 AKI patients still had a higher probability of 1-year mortality (OR 1.9, 95% CI 1.3-2.6, p < 0.001) in addition to $4391 of additional costs when compared to patients without AKI (95% CI $2498-$6285, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS All stages of postoperative AKI were associated with increased LOS, surgical hospitalization costs, in-hospital mortality, and 1-year mortality. These findings suggest that patients with even a low-grade or stage 1 AKI are at higher risk for short- and long-term complications.

Abstract
Kidney functions, including electrolyte and water reabsorption and secretion, could be influenced by circulating hormones. The pituitary gland produces a variety of hormones and cytokines; however, the influence of these factors on the kidney has not been well explained and explored. To provide more in-depth information and insights to support the pituitary–kidney axis connection, we used mouse pituitary and kidney single-cell transcriptomics data from the GEO database for further analysis. Based on a ligand–receptor pair analysis, cell–cell interaction patterns between the pituitary and kidney cell types were described. Key ligand–receptor pairs, such as GH-GHR, PTN-SDC2, PTN-SDC4, and DLK1-NOTCH3, were relatively active in the pituitary–kidney axis. These ligand–receptor pairs mainly target proximal tubule cells, principal cells, the loop of Henle, intercalated cells, pericytes, mesangial cells, and fibroblasts, and these cells are related to physiological processes, such as substance reabsorption, angiogenesis, and tissue repair. Our results suggested that the pituitary gland might directly regulate kidney function by secreting multiple hormones or cytokines and indicated that the above ligand–receptor pairs might represent a new research focus for studies on kidney function or kidney disease.

Abstract
Systemic inflammation can be triggered by infection, surgery, trauma or burns. During systemic inflammation, an overshooting immune response induces tissue damage resulting in organ dysfunction and mortality. Endothelial cells make up the inner lining of all blood vessels and are critically involved in maintaining organ integrity by regulating tissue perfusion. Permeability of the endothelial monolayer is strictly controlled and highly organ-specific, forming continuous, fenestrated and discontinuous capillaries that orchestrate the extravasation of fluids, proteins and solutes to maintain organ homeostasis. In the physiological state, the endothelial barrier is maintained by the glycocalyx, extracellular matrix and intercellular junctions including adherens and tight junctions. As endothelial cells are constantly sensing and responding to the extracellular environment, their activation by inflammatory stimuli promotes a loss of endothelial barrier function, which has been identified as a hallmark of systemic inflammation, leading to tissue edema formation and hypotension and thus, is a key contributor to lethal outcomes. In this review, we provide a comprehensive summary of the major players, such as the angiopoietin-Tie2 signaling axis, adrenomedullin and vascular endothelial (VE-) cadherin, that substantially contribute to the regulation and dysregulation of endothelial permeability during systemic inflammation and elucidate treatment strategies targeting the preservation of vascular integrity.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a major medical challenge caused from renal ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury connected with different cellular events in other distant organs. Renal IR-related oxidative stress and inflammation followed by cell apoptosis play a crucial role in IR-induced distant organ pathological damages. Prazosin has shown protective effects against IR-injuries. Thus, the current study intended to investigate the possible protective role of prazosin against the consequents of renal IR in the heart and brain tissues. To reach this goal, rats were randomly divided into 3 groups (n=7): Sham, IR and prazosin pretreatment-IR animals (1 mg/kg intraperitoneally injection of prazosin 45 min before IR induction). After 6 h reperfusion, lipid peroxidation and antioxidant markers levels were evaluated in the both, brain and heart tissue. Moreover, apoptotic pathway in the heart and brain tissues were assessed by western blotting. Accordingly, prazosin pretreatment in IR model rats could significantly increase the antioxidant capacity and attenuate apoptotic pathways by increasing the bcl-2 levels and decreasing the expression of Bax and caspase 3 enzymes (P<0.05). Thus, prazosin suppressed cellular damages of heart and brain tissues post kidney IR by anti-oxidative and anti-apoptotic effects, which suggests the plausible use of prazosin in improving the clinical outcomes during AKI after further investigations.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) and gut dysbiosis affect each other bidirectionally. AKI induces microbiota alteration in the gastrointestinal (GI) system, while gut dysbiosis also aggravates AKI. The interplay between AKI and gut dysbiosis is not yet well clarified but worthy of further investigation. The current review focuses on the pathophysiology of this bidirectional interplay and AKI treatment in this base. Both macrophages and neutrophils of the innate immunity and the T helper type 17 cell from the adaptive immunity are the critical players of AKI-induced gut dysbiosis. Conversely, dysbiosis-induced overproduction of gut-derived uremic toxins and insufficient generation of short-chain fatty acids are the main factors deteriorating AKI. Many novel treatments are proposed to deter AKI progression by reforming the GI microbiome and breaking this vicious cycle. Data support the benefits of probiotic treatment in AKI patients, while the results of postbiotics are mainly limited to animals. Prebiotics and synbiotics are primarily discussed in chronic kidney disease patients rather than AKI patients. The effect of adsorbent treatment seems promising, but more studies are required before the treatment can be applied to patients. Immune therapy and some repurposed drugs such as allopurinol are prospects of future treatments and are worth more discussion and survey.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common disorder in critically ill hospitalized patients. Its main pathological feature is the activation of the sympathetic nervous system and the renin-angiotensin system (RAS). This disease shows a high fatality rate. The reason is that only renal replacement therapy and supportive care can reduce the impact of the disease, but those measures cannot significantly improve the mortality. This review focused on a generalization of the interaction between acute kidney injury and the central nervous system (CNS). It was found that the CNS further contributes to kidney injury by regulating sympathetic outflow and oxidative stress in response to activation of the RAS and increased pro-inflammatory factors. Experimental studies suggested that inhibiting sympathetic activity and RAS activation in the CNS and blocking oxidative stress could effectively reduce the damage caused by AKI. Therefore, it is of significant interest to specify the mechanism on how the CNS affects AKI, as we could use such mechanism as a target for clinical interventions to further reduce the mortality and improve the complications of AKI.

Vascular Endothelial Dysfunction in the Thoracic Aorta of Rats with Ischemic Acute Kidney Injury: Contribution of Indoxyl Sulfate. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2022; 2022:7547269.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and cardiovascular disease are known to be linked, and the involvement of indoxyl sulfate (IS), a type of uremic toxin, has been suggested as one of the causes. It is known that IS induces vascular dysfunction through overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS). On the other hand, the involvement of IS in the vascular dysfunction associated with acute kidney injury (AKI) is not fully understood. Therefore, we investigated this issue using the thoracic aorta of rats with ischemic AKI. Ischemic AKI was induced by occlusion of the left renal artery and vein for 45 min, followed by reperfusion 2 weeks after contralateral nephrectomy. One day after reperfusion, there was marked deterioration in renal function evidenced by an increase in plasma creatinine. Furthermore, blood IS levels increased markedly due to worsening renal function. Seven days and 28 days after reperfusion, blood IS levels decreased with the improvement in renal function. Of note, acetylcholine-induced vasorelaxation deteriorated over time after reperfusion, contradicting the recovery of renal function. In addition, 28 days after reperfusion, we observed a significant increase in ROS production in the vascular tissue. Next, we administered AST-120, a spherical adsorbent charcoal, after reperfusion to assess whether the vascular endothelial dysfunction associated with the ischemic AKI was due to a temporary increase in blood IS levels. AST-120 reduced the temporary increase in blood IS levels after reperfusion without influencing renal function, but did not restore the impaired vascular reactivity. Thus, in ischemic AKI, we confirmed that the vascular endothelial function of the thoracic aorta is impaired even after the recovery of kidney injury, probably with excessive ROS production. IS, which increases from ischemia to early after reperfusion, may not be a major contributor to the vascular dysfunction associated with ischemic AKI.

Abstract
This study aimed to determine patient and therapeutic characteristics of patients in the medical intensive care unit (MICU) that contribute to inconsistent results of delirium assessments performed during routine clinical practice. Therefore, electronic health records were reviewed and compared with secondary data collected from the same medical ICU patients who were assessed using the Confusion Assessment Method in the ICU (CAM-ICU). Of 5,241 cases involving 762 patients, 827 (15.78%) cases showed disagreement between assessments. Continuous renal replacement therapy, physical restraint use, and altered mental status were factors that increased the likelihood of inconsistencies between assessments. A significant positive correlation was found between the CAM-ICU disagreement rate and the total number of assessments per month. To maximize the reliability of delirium assessments, individual-targeted approaches considering the patient's level of consciousness and type of treatment implemented are required, along with ensuring a stable, and regulated working environment and customized educational programs.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Ideal fluid management of critically ill patients is maintaining an adequate perfusion pressure but avoiding venous congestion. Venous excess ultrasound score (VExUS) quantifies venous congestion to guide the management of fluid balance. RECENT FINDINGS VExUS of abdominal veins measures fluid tolerance and helps clinicians avoid congestion. VExUS scoring predicts the development of acute kidney injury (AKI) that is a common hospital problem resulting in higher mortality and morbidity. VExUS can predict patients at risk of developing AKI post cardiac surgery. VExUS has been associated with an increase in adverse outcomes in a general intensive care population. Hepatic vein ultrasound can manifest as a sequela of right heart failure and pulmonary hypertension. Intrarenal congestion suggests poorer prognosis in heart failure patients. VExUS score has been used in decision-making to remove fluid in patients with cardiorenal syndrome. VExUS scoring may help curtail overly aggressive fluid resuscitation for patients with septic shock and help avoid iatrogenic 'salt water drowning'. SUMMARY We summarize the technique and clinical practice of VExUS to help guide fluid balance across different populations of critically ill patients.

A synergistic effect of variability in estimated glomerular filtration rate with chronic kidney disease on all-cause mortality prediction in patients with type 2 diabetes: a retrospective cohort study. Cardiovasc Diabetol 2021; 20:209. [PMID: 34663321 PMCID: PMC8524871 DOI: 10.1186/s12933-021-01399-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/24/2021] [Accepted: 10/08/2021] [Indexed: 12/28/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The combination of diabetes mellitus (DM) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with a high risk of mortality. Annual assessment of the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is recommended for patients with DM. We investigated the effect of variability in annual eGFR values on all-cause mortality in patients with type 2 DM. Methods In this retrospective cohort study, we enrolled patients with eGFR data between 01 Aug 2017 and 31 July 2018. We defined the index eGFR as the first available eGFR value within the enrollment year and collected additional annual eGFR data from the previous three years. A total of 3592 patients with type 2 DM were enrolled, including 959 patients with CKD (index eGFR < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2) and 2633 patients without CKD. We assessed eGFR variability by using the standard deviation (SD) of the three annual eGFR and index eGFR values. We divided patients into subgroups according to the median SD of their annual eGFR (7.62 mL/min/1.73 m2). The primary endpoint was all-cause mortality after the index eGFR was assessed. Results During a median follow-up of 19 months (interquartile range: 18‒20 months), 127 (3.5%) deaths occurred among all 3592 enrolled patients. The highest mortality risk was observed in the high SD with CKD group, with a hazard ratio (HR) of 2.382 [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.346‒4.215] in comparison to the low SD without CKD group after adjusting for the associated factors. In patients without CKD, a high SD was an independent risk factor for mortality (HR = 2.105, 95% CI 1.256‒3.528). According to the C-index, the mortality prediction ability was better for the index eGFR + SD model than for the index eGFR alone model (0.671 vs. 0.629, P < 0.001). Conclusion There was a synergistic effect of eGFR variability with single-measured eGFR for the prediction of mortality in patients with type 2 DM. The SD of the annual eGFR values was also an independent predictor of mortality in patients with an eGFR > 60 mL/min/1.73 m2.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is associated with several adverse outcomes, including new or progressive chronic kidney disease, end-stage kidney disease, and mortality. Epidemiological studies have reported an association between AKI and dementia as a long-term adverse outcome. This meta-analysis was aimed to understand the association between AKI and dementia risk. A literature search was performed in MEDLINE and Embase databases, from inception to July 2021, to identify epidemiological studies reporting the association between AKI and dementia risk. Title and abstract followed by the full-text of retrieved articles were screened, data were extracted, and quality was assessed, using the Newcastle-Ottawa scale by two investigators independently. The primary outcome was to compute the pooled risk of dementia in AKI patients. Subgroup analysis was also performed based on age and co-morbidities. Certainty of evidence was assessed using the GRADE approach. Statistical analysis was performed using Review Manager 5.4 software. Four studies (cohort (n = 3) and case-control (n = 1)) with a total of 429,211 patients, of which 211,749 had AKI, were identified. The mean age of the patients and the follow-up period were 64.15 ± 16.09 years and 8.9 years, respectively. Included studies were of moderate to high quality. The pooled estimate revealed a significantly higher risk of dementia in AKI patients with an overall relative risk/risk ratio (RR) of 1.92 (95% CI: 1.52-2.43), p ≤ 0.00001. Dementia risk increases by 10% with one year increase in age with an RR of 1.10 (95% CI: 1.09-1.11), p < 0.00001. Subgroup analysis based on stroke as a co-morbid condition also revealed significantly higher dementia risk in AKI patients (RR 2.30 (95% CI: 1.62-3.28), p = 0.009). All-cause mortality risk was also significantly higher in AKI patients with dementia with a pooled RR of 2.11 (95% CI: 1.20-3.70), p = 0.009. The strength of the evidence was of very low certainty as per the GRADE assessment. Patients with AKI have a higher risk of dementia. Further large epidemiological studies are needed to confirm the mechanistic association.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) complicates approximately a third of all acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) cases, and the combination of the two drastically worsens prognosis. Recent advances in ARDS supportive care have led to improved outcomes; however, much less is known on how to prevent and support patients with AKI and ARDS together. Understanding the dynamic relationship between the kidneys and lungs is crucial for the practicing intensivist to prevent injury. This article summarizes key concepts for the critical care physician managing a patient with ARDS complicated by AKI. Also provided is a discussion of AKI in the COVID-19 era.

Abstract
Kidney transplantation with grafts procured after donation-after-cardiac death (DCD) has led to an increase in incidence of delayed graft function (DGF). It is thought that the warm ischemic (WI) insult encountered during DCD procurement is the cause of this finding, although few studies have been designed to definitely demonstrate this causation in a transplantation setting. Here, we use a large animal renal transplantation model to study the effects of prolonged WI during procurement on post-transplantation renal function. Kidneys from 30 kg-Yorkshire pigs were procured following increasing WI times of 0 min (Heart-Beating Donor), 30 min, 60 min, 90 min, and 120 min (n = 3-6 per group) to mimic DCD. Following 8 h of static cold storage and autotransplantation, animals were followed for 7-days. Significant renal dysfunction (SRD), resembling clinical DGF, was defined as the development of oliguria < 500 mL in 24 h from POD3-4 along with POD4 serum potassium > 6.0 mmol/L. Increasing WI times resulted in incremental elevation of post-operative serum creatinine that peaked later. DCD120min grafts had the highest and latest elevation of serum creatinine compared to all groups (POD5: 19.0 ± 1.1 mg/dL, p < 0.05). All surviving animals in this group had POD4 24 h urine output < 500 cc (mean 235 ± 172 mL) and elevated serum potassium (7.2 ± 1.1 mmol/L). Only animals in the DCD120min group fulfilled our criteria of SRD (p = 0.003), and their renal function improved by POD7 with 24 h urine output > 500 mL and POD7 serum potassium < 6.0 mmol/L distinguishing this state from primary non-function. In a transplantation survival model, this work demonstrates that prolonging WI time similar to that which occurs in DCD conditions contributes to the development of SRD that resembles clinical DGF.

Hepatic cysteine sulphinic acid decarboxylase depletion and defective taurine metabolism in a rat partial nephrectomy model of chronic kidney disease. BMC Nephrol 2021; 22:250. [PMID: 34225671 PMCID: PMC8256558 DOI: 10.1186/s12882-021-02442-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/03/2021] [Accepted: 06/04/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Taurine depletion occurs in patients with end-stage chronic kidney disease (CKD). In contrast, in the absence of CKD, plasma taurine is reported to increase following dietary L-glutamine supplementation. This study tested the hypothesis that taurine biosynthesis decreases in a rat CKD model, but is rectified by L-glutamine supplementation. METHODS CKD was induced by partial nephrectomy in male Sprague-Dawley rats, followed 2 weeks later by 2 weeks of 12% w/w L-glutamine supplemented diet (designated NxT) or control diet (NxC). Sham-operated control rats (S) received control diet. RESULTS Taurine concentration in plasma, liver and skeletal muscle was not depleted, but steady-state urinary taurine excretion (a measure of whole-body taurine biosynthesis) was strongly suppressed (28.3 ± 8.7 in NxC rats versus 78.5 ± 7.6 μmol/24 h in S, P < 0.05), accompanied by reduced taurine clearance (NxC 0.14 ± 0.05 versus 0.70 ± 0.11 ml/min/Kg body weight in S, P < 0.05). Hepatic expression of mRNAs encoding key enzymes of taurine biosynthesis (cysteine sulphinic acid decarboxylase (CSAD) and cysteine dioxygenase (CDO)) showed no statistically significant response to CKD (mean relative expression of CSAD and CDO in NxC versus S was 0.91 ± 0.18 and 0.87 ± 0.14 respectively). Expression of CDO protein was also unaffected. However, CSAD protein decreased strongly in NxC livers (45.0 ± 16.8% of that in S livers, P < 0.005). L-glutamine supplementation failed to rectify taurine biosynthesis or CSAD protein expression, but worsened CKD (proteinuria in NxT 12.5 ± 1.2 versus 6.7 ± 1.5 mg/24 h in NxC, P < 0.05). CONCLUSION In CKD, hepatic CSAD is depleted and taurine biosynthesis impaired. This is important in view of taurine's reported protective effect against cardio-vascular disease - the leading cause of death in human CKD.

Abstract
Natural extracellular matrices (ECM) are currently being studied as an alternative source for organ transplantation or as new solutions to treat kidney injuries, which can evolve to end-stage renal disease, a life devastating condition. This paper provides an overview on the current knowledge in kidney ECM and its usefulness on future investigations. The composition and structure of kidney ECM is herein associated with its intrinsic capacity of remodeling and repair after insult. Moreover, it provides a deeper insight on altered ECM components during disease. The use of decellularized kidney matrices is discussed in the second part of the review, with emphasis on how these matrices contribute to tissue-specific differentiation of embryonic, pluripotent, and other stem cells. The evolution on the field toward different uses of xenogeneic ECM as a biological scaffold material is discussed, namely the major outcomes on whole kidney recellularization and its in vivo implantation. At last, the recent literature on the use of processed kidney decellularized ECM to produce diverse biomaterial substrates, such as hydrogels, membranes, and bioinks are reviewed, with emphasis on future perspectives of its translation into the clinic.

Abstract
Complex molecular cell dynamics in acute kidney injury and its heterogeneous etiologies in patient populations in clinical settings have revealed the potential advantages and disadvantages of emerging novel damage biomarkers. Imaging techniques have been developed over the past decade to further our understanding about diseased organs, including the kidneys. Understanding the compositional, structural, and functional changes in damaged kidneys via several imaging modalities would enable a more comprehensive analysis of acute kidney injury, including its risks, diagnosis, and prognosis. This review summarizes recent imaging studies for acute kidney injury and discusses their potential utility in clinical settings.

Abstract
Obstructive renal diseases affect renal function and kidney integrity. Nevertheless, little is known about its systemic or extra-renal effects. The organic anion transporting polypeptide 1 (Oatp1) is a carrier expressed in liver and kidneys. In this study, the hepatic and renal expression of Oatp1 was evaluated in rats with obstructive nephropathy. Moreover, the urinary excretion of Oatp1 (Oatp1u ) was evaluated as a potential biomarker for this pathology. Male Wistar rats with bilateral ureteral obstruction for 5 hours (BUO5), 24 hours (BUO24) or sham operated were used. After 24 hours of ureteral releasing, liver and kidney functional parameters, histopathology, Oatp1 tissular expression and Oatp1u were evaluated. For Oatp1u evaluation two groups were added; BUO1 and BUO2 (1 and 2 hours of ureteral obstruction, respectively). Both liver and kidney functional parameters and histopathological studies showed alterations in BUO5 and BUO24. In hepatic homogenates, Oatp1 significantly decreased in BUO groups and in total liver membranes no modifications were observed. In renal homogenates, Oatp1 significantly decreased in BUO groups, but in apical kidney membranes, its expression was increased. Oatp1u was only detected in BUO groups, even in those (BUO1, BUO2) in which no alterations in the traditional parameters of renal function were observed. Modulations in liver and renal expression of Oatp1 could be an organism strategy to attenuate the effects of the disease and an attempt to maintain the complex organ cross-talk between liver and kidneys. Oatp1u could be a new, early and specific biomarker of obstructive nephropathy.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a health problem worldwide, but there is a lack of early diagnostic biomarkers and target-specific treatments. Ischemia-reperfusion (IR), a major cause of AKI, not only induces kidney injury, but also stimulates the self-defense system including innate immune responses to limit injury. One of these responses is the production of erythropoietin (EPO) by adjacent normal tissue, which is simultaneously triggered, but behind the action of its receptors, either by the homodimer EPO receptor (EPOR)2 mainly involved in erythropoiesis or the heterodimer EPOR/β common receptor (EPOR/βcR) which has a broad range of biological protections. EPOR/βcR is expressed in several cell types including tubular epithelial cells at low levels or absent in normal kidneys, but is swiftly upregulated by hypoxia and inflammation and also translocated to cellular membrane post IR. EPOR/βcR mediates anti-apoptosis, anti-inflammation, pro-regeneration, and remodeling via the PI3K/Akt, STAT3, and MAPK signaling pathways in AKI. However, the precise roles of EPOR/βcR in the pathogenesis and progression of AKI have not been well defined, and its potential as an earlier biomarker for AKI diagnosis and monitoring repair or chronic progression requires further investigation. Here, we review biological functions and mechanistic signaling pathways of EPOR/βcR in AKI, and discuss its potential clinical applications as a biomarker for effective diagnosis and predicting prognosis, as well as directing cell target drug delivery.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common yet complicated clinical entity with high morbidity and mortality. An essential strategy to improve AKI patients’ prognoses is finding optimal biomarkers to identify AKI in a timely manner. Procalcitonin (PCT), a well-recognized biomarker for diagnosing infection and guiding antibiotics therapy, has been proposed to predict AKI development and recovery in many clinical settings. The current review provides comprehensive and updated information from relevant studies to evaluate PCT’s AKI-predictive ability and the influence of infection on this predictive ability. PCT has demonstrated optimal predictive ability for AKI in various populations irrespective of infection. However, the predictive ability seems to be blunted by infection since infection and inflammation have a more potent influence than AKI on PCT elevation. We furthermore explain the complicated association between elevated PCT levels and AKI in infection and inflammation situations and recommend directions for further investigations to clarify the essential issue. In conclusion, although conflicting data exist, serum PCT level is a potential biomarker for predicting AKI in many clinical settings regardless of infection. Nevertheless, further studies are warranted to clarify the association between PCT, infection, and AKI and to confirm the utilization of PCT for AKI prediction.

Abstract
Propofol (Pro) confers protection against renal ischemia/reperfusion (rI/R) injury through incompletely characterized mechanisms. Since Pro has shown net anti-inflammatory properties as part of its beneficial effects, we examined the potential role of Pro in the modulation of macrophage polarization status during both rI/R injury in vivo and exposure of cultured peritoneal macrophages (PMs) to hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R). Rats were subjected to 45-min r/IR surgery or a sham procedure and administered PBS (vehicle) or Pro during the ischemia stage. Pro administration attenuated rI/R-induced kidney damage and renal TNF-α, IL-6, and CXCL-10 expression. Enhanced macrophage M2 polarization, evidenced by reduced iNOS and increased Arg1 and Mrc1 mRNA levels, was further detected after Pro treatment both in the kidney, after rI/R in vivo, and in H/R-treated PMs. Pro administration also repressed phosphorylated signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (p-STAT1) and increased p-STAT3, p-STAT6, and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPARγ) mRNA levels in H/R-exposed PMs. Importantly, siRNA-mediated PPARγ silencing repressed Pro-mediated STAT3 activation in PMs and restored proinflammatory cytokine levels and prevented macrophage M2 marker expression in both rI/R-treated rats and cultured PMs. These findings suggest that Pro confers renoprotection against rI/R by stimulating PPARγ/STAT3-dependent macrophage conversion to the M2 phenotype.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a complex disease associated with increased mortality that may be due to deleterious distant organ effects. AKI associated with respiratory complications, in particular, has a poor outcome. In murine models, AKI is characterized by increased circulating cytokines, lung chemokine upregulation, and neutrophilic infiltration, similar to other causes of indirect acute lung injury (ALI; e.g., sepsis). Many causes of lung inflammation are associated with a lung metabolic profile characterized by increased oxidative stress, a shift toward the use of other forms of energy production, and/or a depleted energy state. To our knowledge, there are no studies that have evaluated pulmonary energy production and metabolism after AKI. We hypothesized that based on the parallels between inflammatory acute lung injury and AKI-mediated lung injury, a similar metabolic profile would be observed. Lung metabolomics and ATP levels were assessed 4 h, 24 h, and 7 days after ischemic AKI in mice. Numerous novel findings regarding the effect of AKI on the lung were observed including 1) increased oxidative stress, 2) a shift toward alternate methods of energy production, and 3) depleted levels of ATP. The findings in this report bring to light novel characteristics of AKI-mediated lung injury and provide new leads into the mechanisms by which AKI in patients predisposes to pulmonary complications.

Abstract
Background: Centhaquine (CQ) (Lyfaquin®) is in late stage clinical development as a safe and effective first-in-class resuscitative agent for hemorrhagic shock patients (NCT02408731, NCT04056065, and NCT04045327). Acute kidney injury (AKI) is known to be associated with hemorrhagic shock. Hence, effect of CQ on protection of kidneys from damage due to hemorrhagic shock was investigated. Methods: To assess effect of CQ on AKI in shock, we created a rat model with hemorrhagic shock and AKI. Renal arteries were clamped and de-clamped to induce AKI like ischemia/reperfusion model and hemorrhage was carried out by withdrawing blood for 30 min. Rats were resuscitated with CQ (0.02 mg/kg) for 10 min. MAP, heart rate (HR), and renal blood flow (RBF) were monitored for 120 min. Results: CQ produced a significant improvement in RBF compared to vehicle (p< 0.003) even though MAP and HR was similar in CQ and vehicle groups. Blood lactate level was lower (p = 0.0064) in CQ than vehicle at 120 min post-resuscitation. Histopathological analysis of tissues indicated greater renal damage in vehicle than CQ. Western blots showed higher HIF-1α (p = 0.0152) and lower NGAL (p = 0.01626) levels in CQ vs vehicle. Immunofluorescence in the kidney cortex and medulla showed significantly higher (p< 0.045) expression of HIF-1α and lower expression of Bax (p< 0.044) in CQ. Expression of PHD 3 (p< 0.0001) was higher, while the expression of Cytochrome C (p = 0.01429) was lower in the cortex of CQ than vehicle. Conclusion: Results show CQ (Lyfaquin®) increased renal blood flow, augmented hypoxia response, decreased tissue damage and apoptosis following hemorrhagic shock induced AKI, and may be explored to prevent/treat AKI. Translational Statement: Centhaquine (CQ) is safe for human use and currently in late stage clinical development as a first-in-class resuscitative agent to treat hemorrhagic shock. In the current study, we have explored a novel role of CQ in protection from hemorrhagic shock induced AKI, indicating its potential to treat/prevent AKI.

Abstract
PURPOSE We investigated the impact of radial access on contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) in patients with coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) undergoing cardiac catheterization. METHODS This retrospective monocenter study included 527 CABG patients undergoing cardiac catheterization via radial (58.1%, N = 306) or femoral access (41.9%, N = 221). Primary outcome measure was CI-AKI defined in accordance with the KDIGO criteria. Independent predictors for CI-AKI were assessed. 1-year mortality was assessed depending on the occurrence of CI-AKI. RESULTS In total, 99 CABG patients (18.8%) developed CI-AKI within 48 h after cardiac catheterization. Compared to patients without CI-AKI, amount of contrast media used (203.1 ± 102.6 ml vs. 204.2 ± 98.2 ml; P = 0.892) as well as procedural times (87.9 ± 44.8 vs. 79.8 ± 37.0; P = 0.190) were similarly. Regarding vascular access, there was no significant difference in the incidence of CI-AKI between radial and femoral approach (19.0% vs. 18.6%; p = 0.907). However, poor left ventricular ejection fraction (odds ratio [OR] = 1.72, P = 0.026), chronic kidney disease (OR = 2.30, P = 0.001) and acute coronary syndrome (OR = 1.64, P = 0.043) were independent predictors for CI-AKI. The occurrence of CI-AKI was significantly associated with an increased 1-year mortality (hazard ratio [HR] = 2.52, P = 0.003). CONCLUSIONS With 18.8%, CI-AKI is a frequent complication in CABG patients undergoing cardiac catheterization. Radial access did not decrease the risk when compared to the femoral approach.

Abstract
Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is a leading cause of acute kidney injury (AKI), which contributes to the development of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Renal IRI combines major events, including a strong inflammatory immune response leading to extensive cell injuries, necrosis and late interstitial fibrosis. Macrophages act as key players in IRI-induced AKI by polarizing into proinflammatory M1 and anti-inflammatory M2 phenotypes. Compelling evidence exists that the stress-responsive enzyme, heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), mediates protection against renal IRI and modulates macrophage polarization by enhancing a M2 subset. Hereafter, we review the dual effect of macrophages in the pathogenesis of IRI-induced AKI and discuss the critical role of HO-1 expressing macrophages.

Electrophysiological and inflammatory changes of CA1 area in male rats exposed to acute kidney injury: Neuroprotective effects of erythropoietin. Brain Res Bull 2021; 171:25-34. [PMID: 33722647 DOI: 10.1016/j.brainresbull.2021.03.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/28/2020] [Revised: 02/15/2021] [Accepted: 03/09/2021] [Indexed: 10/21/2022]
Abstract
The high mortality rate associated with acute kidney injury (AKI) is commonly due to progressive, inflammatory multiple organ dysfunction, which often involves neurological complications. The AKI-stimulated mechanisms leading to brain dysfunction are not well understood, which hinders development of new therapeutic avenues to minimize AKI-mediated neural effects. The hippocampal CA1 area is a particularly vulnerable region during AKI but the electrophysiological and inflammatory mechanisms involved in this vulnerability remain largely unknown. Here, we used immunohistochemistry to quantitatively investigate the number of astrocytes expressing glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) as an indicator of inflammation, and whole cell patch clamp to evaluate electrophysiological changes in CA1 at different time points following induction of bilateral renal ischemia (BRI) in male Wistar rats. Further we evaluated the effectiveness of erythropoietin (EPO, 1000 U/kg i.p.) in mitigating BRI-associated changes. Plasma concentrations of blood urea nitrogen (BUN) were significantly enhanced at 24 h, 72 h and 1 week, and creatinine (Cr) was increased at 24 h after reperfusion, which were changes reduced by EPO. BRI led to an increase in CA1 GFAP-positive cells 24 h and 72 h, but not 1 week, after reperfusion, and EPO reversed this effect of BRI at 24 h. Additionally, BRI caused an increase in the peak amplitude and coefficient of variation of CA1 pyramidal neuronal action potentials, which were changes not seen in presence of EPO. When taken together, altered neuronal electrophysiological properties and astrogliosis could contribute to the neurological complications induced by AKI, and EPO offers hope as a potential neuroprotective agent.

Abstract
Acute kidney disease (AKD) - which includes acute kidney injury (AKI) - and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are highly prevalent among hospitalized patients, including those in nephrology and medicine wards, surgical wards, and intensive care units (ICU), and they have important metabolic and nutritional consequences. Moreover, in case kidney replacement therapy (KRT) is started, whatever is the modality used, the possible impact on nutritional profiles, substrate balance, and nutritional treatment processes cannot be neglected. The present guideline is aimed at providing evidence-based recommendations for clinical nutrition in hospitalized patients with AKD and CKD. Due to the significant heterogeneity of this patient population as well as the paucity of high-quality evidence data, the present guideline is to be intended as a basic framework of both evidence and - in most cases - expert opinions, aggregated in a structured consensus process, in order to update the two previous ESPEN Guidelines on Enteral (2006) and Parenteral (2009) Nutrition in Adult Renal Failure. Nutritional care for patients with stable CKD (i.e., controlled protein content diets/low protein diets with or without amino acid/ketoanalogue integration in outpatients up to CKD stages four and five), nutrition in kidney transplantation, and pediatric kidney disease will not be addressed in the present guideline.
