[PMID: 38488268 DOI: 10.1111/1471-0528.17807] [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: 10/30/2023] [Revised: 02/08/2024] [Accepted: 02/27/2024] [Indexed: 08/03/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with an increased risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes, but the risk at different stages of CKD (defined by estimated glomerular filtration rate, eGFR) compared with women without CKD has not been quantified in large cohorts. OBJECTIVES To quantify the association between CKD and adverse pregnancy outcomes according to CKD definition, CKD stage and presence or absence of diabetes. SEARCH STRATEGY A systematic search of EMBASE and MEDLINE from inception to 5 January 2023. SELECTION CRITERIA English-language randomised controlled trials as well as cohort and case-control studies investigating adverse pregnancy outcomes in pregnant women with CKD. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Two reviewers conducted independent data extractions. A random-effects model was used to estimate risk. MAIN RESULTS We included 19 studies with 3 251 902 women. Defining CKD using eGFR or serum creatinine produced results with greater effect size but wider confidence intervals. Compared with CKD stages 1-2, women with CKD stages 3-5 have a greater risk, but also greater imprecision in the risk estimate, of the following outcomes: pre-eclampsia (OR 55.18, 95% CI 2.63-1157.68, vs OR 24.74, 95% CI 1.75-348.70), preterm birth (OR 20.24, 95% CI 2.85-143.75, vs OR 8.18, 95% CI 1.54-43.46) and neonatal intensive care unit admission (OR 19.32, 95% CI 3.07-121.68, vs OR 9.77, 95% CI 2.49-38.39). Women with diabetic kidney disease, compared with women without diabetic kidney disease, have higher risks of maternal mortality, small-for-gestational-age neonates, pre-eclampsia and gestational hypertension. CONCLUSIONS There is heterogeneity in the definition of CKD in pregnancy. Future studies should consider ways to standardise its definition and measurement in pregnancy.

Abstract
Diabetic nephropathy (DN), a multifaceted disease with various contributing factors, presents challenges in understanding its underlying causes. Uncovering biomarkers linked to this condition can shed light on its pathogenesis and support the creation of new diagnostic and treatment methods. Gene expression data were sourced from accessible public databases, and Weighted Gene Co-expression Network Analysis (WGCNA)was employed to pinpoint gene co-expression modules relevant to DN. Subsequently, various machine learning techniques, such as random forest, lasso regression algorithm (LASSO), and support vector machine-recursive feature elimination (SVM-REF), were utilized for distinguishing DN cases from controls using the identified gene modules. Additionally, functional enrichment analyses were conducted to explore the biological roles of these genes. Our analysis revealed 131 genes showing distinct expression patterns between controlled and uncontrolled groups. During the integrated WCGNA, we identified 61 co-expressed genes encompassing both categories. The enrichment analysis highlighted involvement in various immune responses and complex activities. Techniques like Random Forest, LASSO, and SVM-REF were applied to pinpoint key hub genes, leading to the identification of VWF and DNASE1L3. In the context of DN, they demonstrated significant consistency in both expression and function. Our research uncovered potential biomarkers for DN through the application of WGCNA and various machine learning methods. The results indicate that 2 central genes could serve as innovative diagnostic indicators and therapeutic targets for this disease. This discovery offers fresh perspectives on the development of DN and could contribute to the advancement of new diagnostic and treatment approaches.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is one of the most critical global health concerns, with a fast-growing prevalence. The incidence of diabetic vascular complications is also rapidly increasing, exacerbating the burden on individuals with diabetes and the consumption of public medical resources. Despite the overall improvements in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diabetic microvascular complications in recent years, safe and effective alternative or adjunctive therapies are urgently needed. The mechanisms underlying diabetic vascular complications are complex, with hyperglycemia-induced oxidative stress and inflammation being the leading causes. Therefore, glycemic control, antioxidation, and anti-inflammation are considered the main targets for the treatment of diabetes and its vascular comorbidities. Vaccinium L. (Ericaceae) is a genus of plants enriched with polyphenolic compounds in their leaves and fruits. Vaccinium and its extracts have demonstrated good bioactivity in reducing blood glucose, oxidative stress, and inflammation, making them excellent candidates for the management of diabetes and diabetic vascular complications. Here, we review recent preclinical and clinical studies on the potential effect of Vaccinium on ameliorating diabetes and diabetic complications, particularly diabetic kidney disease and diabetic retinopathy.

Abstract
Diabetes is the leading cause of kidney disease, and as the number of individuals with diabetes increases there is a concomitant increase in the prevalence of diabetic kidney disease (DKD). Diabetes contributes to the development of DKD through a number of pathways, including inflammation, oxidative stress, and the gut-kidney axis, which may be amenable to dietary therapy. Resistant starch (RS) is a dietary fibre that alters the gut microbial consortium, leading to an increase in the microbial production of short chain fatty acids. Evidence from animal and human studies indicate that short chain fatty acids are able to attenuate inflammatory and oxidative stress pathways, which may mitigate the progression of DKD. In this review, we evaluate and summarise the evidence from both preclinical models of DKD and clinical trials that have utilised RS as a dietary therapy to limit the progression of DKD.

Abstract
Diabetic nephropathy (DN), which is correlated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, significantly elevates the morbidity and mortality of patients with diabetes. Recently, the benefits of mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists in chronic kidney disease (CKD), such as their anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic properties, have been discovered. Thus, the present meta-analysis aimed to systematically assess the efficacy and safety of eplerenone treatment in patients with DN. Six electronic databases—PubMed, The Cochrane Library, Embase, Web of Science, CNKI (China National Knowledge Infrastructure), and CBM(Chinese BioMedical Literature Database)—were searched to retrieve randomized controlled trials that assessed eplerenone treatment in patients with DN and were published up to July 31, 2021. Eight randomized controlled trials involving 838 patients were included. Between the eplerenone treatment groups and controls, significant differences were identified in 24-h urine protein levels (mean difference [MD], −19.63 [95% CI, −23.73 to −15.53], P < 0.00001), microalbuminuria (MD, -7.75 [95% CI, -9.75 to -5.75], P < 0.00001), urinary albumin-creatinine ratio (MD, -48.29 [95% CI, -64.45 to -32.14], P < 0.00001), systolic blood pressure (SBP) (MD, -2.49 [95% CI, -4.48 to -0.50], P = 0.01), serum potassium levels (MD, 0.19 [95% CI, 0.13 to 0.24], P < 0.00001), and levels of the renal fibrosis indicator laminin (MD, -8.84 [95% CI, -11.93 to -5.75], P < 0.00001). However, for the effect of estimated glomerular filtration rate (MD, 1.74 [95% CI, -0.87 to 4.35], P = 0.19) and diastolic blood pressure (MD, -0.51 [95% CI, -1.58 to 0.57], P = 0.36), the differences between the two groups were not significant. In addition, no noticeable difference was identified in the adverse events of hyperkalemia and cough between them. These findings suggest that eplerenone exerts beneficial effects on DN by significantly reducing urinary albumin or protein excretion, SBP, and laminin levels, without increasing the incidence of hyperkalemia and other adverse events.

Abstract
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is the leading cause of end-stage renal disease worldwide. Chronic hyperglycemia and high blood pressure are the main risk factors for the development of DN. In general, screening for microalbuminuria should be performed annually, starting 5 years after diagnosis in type 1 diabetes and at diagnosis and annually thereafter in type 2 diabetes. Standard therapy is blood glucose and blood pressure control using the renin-angiotensin system blockade, targeting A1c < 7%, and <130/80 mmHg. Regression of albuminuria remains an important therapeutic goal. However, there are problems in diagnosis and treatment of nonproteinuric DN (NP-DN), which does not follow the classic pattern of DN. In fact, the prevalence of DN continues to increase, and additional therapy is needed to prevent or ameliorate the condition. In addition to conventional therapies, vitamin D receptor activators, incretin-related drugs, and therapies that target inflammation may also be promising for the prevention of DN progression. This review focuses on the role of inflammation and oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of DN, approaches to diagnosis in classic and NP-DN, and current and emerging therapeutic interventions.

Nephroprotective Effects of Tetramethylpyrazine Nitrone TBN in Diabetic Kidney Disease. Front Pharmacol 2021; 12:680336.

Abstract
Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is the leading cause of end-stage renal failure, but therapeutic options for nephroprotection are limited. Oxidative stress plays a key role in the pathogenesis of DKD. Our previous studies demonstrated that tetramethylpyrazine nitrone (TBN), a novel nitrone derivative of tetramethylpyrazine with potent free radical-scavenging activity, exerted multifunctional neuroprotection in neurological diseases. However, the effect of TBN on DKD and its underlying mechanisms of action are not yet clear. Herein, we performed streptozotocin-induced rat models of DKD and found that TBN administrated orally twice daily for 6 weeks significantly lowered urinary albumin, N-acetyl-β-D-glycosaminidase, cystatin C, malonaldehyde, and 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosine levels. TBN also ameliorated renal histopathological changes. More importantly, in a nonhuman primate model of spontaneous stage III DKD, TBN increased the estimated glomerular filtration rate, decreased serum 3-nitrotyrosine, malonaldehyde and 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosine levels, and improved metabolic abnormalities. In HK-2 cells, TBN increased glycolytic and mitochondrial functions. The protective mechanism of TBN might involve the activation of AMPK/PGC-1α-mediated downstream signaling pathways, thereby improving mitochondrial function and reducing oxidative stress in the kidneys of DKD rodent models. These results support the clinical development of TBN for the treatment of DKD.

Abstract
Context: Panax notoginseng (Burk.) F.H. Chen (Araliaceae) preparations (PNP) are traditional Chinese medicines used as adjuvant therapeutics for diabetic kidney disease (DKD).Objective: To systematically review the efficacy of PNP as adjunct DKD therapy, including their effects on kidney function, serum lipid levels and fasting blood glucose levels.Methods: The databases PubMed, Embase, Medline, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, China Biology Medicine disc, Wanfang, VIP and China National Knowledge Infrastructure were systematically searched from the date of their inception until May 2019. Panax notoginseng, Panax notoginseng saponins, Lulutong, Xueshuantong and Xuesaitong were the key terms searched. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing the combined use of PNP and conventional medicines (CM) versus CM for DKD were included. Data were pooled using random or fixed effect models depending on heterogeneity.Results: In total, 24 RCTs involving 1918 participants were analysed. Adjunct PNP with CM was associated with reduction of albuminuria (MD -26.89 mg, 95% CI: -33.35 to -20.42), proteinuria (MD -0.32 g/24 h, 95% CI: -0.36 to -0.27), serum creatinine (MD -4.52 μmol/L, 95% CI: -8.71 to -0.32), total cholesterol (MD -1.56 mmol/L, 95% CI: -2.33 to -0.78), triglycerides (TG) (MD -0.56 mmol/L, 95% CI: -0.80 to -0.31) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (MD -0.94 mmol/L, 95% CI: -1.49 to -0.40) compared with CM.Conclusions: This is the first meta-analysis investigating adjuvant PNP therapy for DKD. PNP apparently exerted beneficial effects on kidney function and improved the metabolism of serum lipids by CM. Further, well-conducted, high-quality trials on DKD patients are needed to provide high-quality evidence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The inflammation of glomerular endothelial cells induces and promotes the activation of macrophages and contributes to the development of diabetic nephropathy. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the gene regulatory effect and potential role of pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) in inflammatory response in diabetic nephropathy. METHODS The plasma PKM2 levels of patients with diabetes were evaluated. Eight-week-old mice were divided into three groups (WT, db/db mice, and db/db mice treated with TEPP-46) and raised for 12 weeks. Blood and kidney samples were collected at the end of the experiment. Endothelial cells were stimulated with high glucose with or without TEPP-46. The expression of intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1), interleukin 6 (IL-6), interleukin 1 beta (IL-1β), phospho-PKM2, PKM2, phospho-STAT3(signal transducer and activator of transcription), STAT3, nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kB), and phospho-NF-kB in vivo and in vitro were determined using Western blot. The activation of macrophages (CD68+CD86+) in the glomeruli was assessed via fluorescent double staining. Moreover, immune endothelial adhesion experiments were performed. RESULTS The plasma PKM2 levels of patients with type 2 diabetes increased. P-PKM2 was up-regulated in vivo and in vitro. TEPP-46 decreased inflammatory cell infiltration and ICAM-1 expression in vivo and in vitro and inhibited the differentiation of macrophages to M1 cells in db/db mice with diabetic nephropathy. PKM2 regulated the phosphorylation of STAT3 and NF-kB. Furthermore, high glucose levels induced the transition from tetramer to dimer and the nuclear translocation of PKM2. CONCLUSION The gene regulatory effect of PKM2 is involved in renal inflammation in type 2 diabetic nephropathy by promoting the phosphorylation of STAT3 and NF-kB and the expression of intercellular adhesion molecule 1. Thus, the down-regulation of phosphorylated PKM2 may have protective effects against diabetic nephropathy by inhibiting renal inflammation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a global health problem with a high economic burden, which is particularly prevalent in Taiwan. Mobile health apps have been widely used to maintain continuity of patient care for various chronic diseases. To slow the progression of CKD, continuity of care is vital for patients' self-management and cooperation with health care professionals. However, the literature provides a limited understanding of the use of mobile health apps to maintain continuity of patient-centered care for CKD. OBJECTIVE This study identified apps related to the continuity of patient-centered care for CKD on the App Store, Google Play, and 360 Mobile Assistant, and explored the information and frequency of changes in these apps available to the public on different platforms. App functionalities, like patient self-management and patient management support for health care professionals, were also examined. METHODS We used the CKD-related keywords "kidney," "renal," "nephro," "chronic kidney disease," "CKD," and "kidney disease" in traditional Chinese, simplified Chinese, and English to search 3 app platforms: App Store, Google Play, and 360 Mobile Assistant. A total of 2 reviewers reached consensus on coding guidelines and coded the contents and functionalities of the apps through content analysis. After coding, Microsoft Office Excel 2016 was used to calculate Cohen kappa coefficients and analyze the contents and functionalities of the apps. RESULTS A total of 177 apps related to patient-centered care for CKD in any language were included. On the basis of their functionality and content, 67 apps were recommended for patients. Among them, the most common functionalities were CKD information and CKD self-management (38/67, 57%), e-consultation (17/67, 25%), CKD nutrition education (16/67, 24%), and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) calculators (13/67, 19%). In addition, 67 apps were recommended for health care professionals. The most common functionalities of these apps were comprehensive clinical calculators (including eGFR; 30/67; 45%), CKD medical professional information (16/67, 24%), stand-alone eGFR calculators (14/67, 21%), and CKD clinical decision support (14/67, 21%). A total of 43 apps with single- or multiple-indicator calculators were found to be suitable for health care professionals and patients. The aspects of patient care apps intended to support self-management of CKD patients were encouraging patients to actively participate in health care (92/110, 83.6%), recognizing and effectively responding to symptoms (56/110, 50.9%), and disease-specific knowledge (53/110, 48.2%). Only 13 apps contained consulting management functions, patient management functions or teleconsultation functions designed to support health care professionals in CKD patient management. CONCLUSIONS This study revealed that the continuity of patient-centered care for CKD provided by mobile health apps is inadequate for both CKD self-management by patients and patient care support for health care professionals. More comprehensive solutions are required to enhance the continuity of patient-centered care for CKD.
