Abstract
Patients with hematological malignancies (HM) often receive tazobactam/piperacillin (TAZ/PIPC) and glycopeptide antibiotics for febrile neutropenia. The effect of concomitant use of TAZ/PIPC on risk of teicoplanin (TEIC)-associated acute kidney injury (AKI) remains unclear. We investigated the impact of concomitant TAZ/PIPC use on TEIC-associated AKI in HM patients and identified the risk factors. In this retrospective, single-center, observational cohort study, 203 patients received TEIC, 176 of whom satisfied the selection criteria and were divided into TEIC cohort (no TAZ/PIPC; n = 118) and TEIC + TAZ/PIPC cohort (n = 58). AKI was defined as serum creatinine increase ≥0.3 mg/dL within 48 h or ≥50% from baseline. Incidence of AKI in TEIC cohort before and after propensity score matching was 9.3 and 5.9%, respectively, and that in TEIC + TAZ/PIPC cohort was 10.3 and 11.8%. AKI incidence and risk were not significantly different between two cohorts before (p = 0.829; odds ratio (OR) 1.122, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.393-3.202) and after matching (p = 0.244; OR 2.133, 95% CI 0.503-9.043). Logistic regression analysis with factors clinically or mechanistically potentially related to TEIC-associated AKI, including concomitant TAZ/PIPC use, as independent variables identified baseline hemoglobin level as the only significant risk factor for TEIC-associated AKI (p = 0.011; OR 0.484, 95% CI 0.276-0.848). In HM patients treated with TEIC, concomitant TAZ/PIPC use did not increase AKI risk whereas lower hemoglobin levels had higher risk for TEIC-associated AKI development, suggesting the necessity to monitor serum creatinine when using TEIC in patients with anemia.

Effects of intraoperative inspired oxygen fraction (FiO 2 0.3 vs 0.8) on patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting: the CARROT multicenter, cluster-randomized trial. Crit Care 2023; 27:286.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To maintain adequate oxygenation is of utmost importance in intraoperative care. However, clinical evidence supporting specific oxygen levels in distinct surgical settings is lacking. This study aimed to compare the effects of 30% and 80% oxygen in off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB). METHODS This multicenter trial was conducted in three tertiary hospitals from August 2019 to August 2021. Patients undergoing OPCAB were cluster-randomized to receive either 30% or 80% oxygen intraoperatively, based on the month when the surgery was performed. The primary endpoint was the length of hospital stay. Intraoperative hemodynamic data were also compared. RESULTS A total of 414 patients were cluster-randomized. Length of hospital stay was not different in the 30% oxygen group compared to the 80% oxygen group (median, 7.0 days vs 7.0 days; the sub-distribution hazard ratio, 0.98; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.83-1.16; P = 0.808). The incidence of postoperative acute kidney injury was significantly higher in the 30% oxygen group than in the 80% oxygen group (30.7% vs 19.4%; odds ratio, 1.94; 95% CI 1.18-3.17; P = 0.036). Intraoperative time-weighted average mixed venous oxygen saturation was significantly higher in the 80% oxygen group (74% vs 64%; P < 0.001). The 80% oxygen group also had a significantly greater intraoperative time-weighted average cerebral regional oxygen saturation than the 30% oxygen group (56% vs 52%; P = 0.002). CONCLUSIONS In patients undergoing OPCAB, intraoperative administration of 80% oxygen did not decrease the length of hospital stay, compared to 30% oxygen, but may reduce postoperative acute kidney injury. Moreover, compared to 30% oxygen, intraoperative use of 80% oxygen improved oxygen delivery in patients undergoing OPCAB. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03945565; April 8, 2019).

Environmental heat exposure and implications on renal health of pediatric communities in the dry climatic zone of Sri Lanka: An approach with urinary biomarkers. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2023; 222:115399. [PMID: 36736552 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.115399] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2022] [Revised: 01/13/2023] [Accepted: 01/30/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Prolonged heat exposure during outdoor physical exertion can result in adverse renal health outcomes, and it is also supposed to be a driver of chronic kidney disease of uncertain etiology (CKDu) in tropical regions. School students are more likely to experience high heat exposure during outdoor sports practices, and the current knowledge on potential renal health outcomes associated with heat exposure carries many knowledge gaps. Hence, the present study aimed to perform biomarker-based assessment of the likelihood of pediatric renal injury focusing the communities in the dry climatic zone in Sri Lanka, where it prevails relatively harsh climate and high prevalence of CKDu. School students who engaged in regular outdoor sports practices (high-heat exposure), and an age-matched control of students who did not engage in sports practices (low-heat exposure) from four educational zones: Padavi Sripura (N = 159) and Medirigiriya (N = 171), Uhana (N = 165) and Thanamalwila (N = 169) participated in this cross-sectional study representing CKDu endemic and non-endemic regions. Effective temperature (ET), wet-bulb globe temperature (WBGT), heat index (HI) and humidex were used for comparison of thermal comfort in the environment. The intensity of environmental heat measured by thermal comfort indices showed no significant difference (p > 0.05) among the study regions. Urinary kidney injury molecule (KIM-1) and albumin-creatinine ratio (ACR) in participants with high heat exposure did not differ significantly from those in the control groups in the four study zones, where urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin showed substantial differences in some groups. Irrespective of heat exposure, increased KIM-1 excretion was observed (p < 0.01) in participants of CKDu endemic regions compared to those in non-endemic areas. Within the context of our findings, there is no plausibly strong evidence to establish potential association of heat exposure with the likelihood of developing renal injury or abnormal renal outcomes in dry zone school students in Sri Lanka.

Abstract
Heart and kidney diseases cause high morbidity and mortality. Heart and kidneys have vital functions in the human body and, interestingly, reciprocally influence each other’s behavior: pathological changes in one organ can damage the other. Cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) is a group of disorders in which there is combined dysfunction of both heart and kidney, but its underlying biological mechanisms are not fully understood. This is because complex, multifactorial, and dynamic mechanisms are likely involved. Effective treatments are currently unavailable, but this may be resolved if more was known about how the disease develops and progresses. To date, CRS has actually only been modeled in mice and rats in vivo. Even though these models can capture cardiorenal interaction, they are difficult to manipulate and control. Moreover, interspecies differences may limit extrapolation to patients. The questions we address here are what would it take to model CRS in vitro and how far are we? There are already multiple independent in vitro (human) models of heart and kidney, but none have so far captured their dynamic organ-organ crosstalk. Advanced in vitro human models can provide an insight in disease mechanisms and offer a platform for therapy development. CRS represents an exemplary disease illustrating the need to develop more complex models to study organ-organ interaction in-a-dish. Human induced pluripotent stem cells in combination with microfluidic chips are one powerful tool with potential to recapitulate the characteristics of CRS in vitro. In this review, we provide an overview of the existing in vivo and in vitro models to study CRS, their limitations and new perspectives on how heart-kidney physiological and pathological interaction could be investigated in vitro for future applications.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The study aimed to construct and validate a risk prediction model for incidence of postoperative renal failure (PORF) following radical nephrectomy and nephroureterectomy. METHODS The American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS-NSQIP) database years 2005-2014 were used for the derivation cohort. A stepwise multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted, and the final model was validated with an independent cohort from the ACS-NSQIP database years 2015-2017. RESULTS In cohort of 14,519 patients, 296 (2.0%) developed PORF. The final 9-factor model included age, gender, diabetes, hypertension, BMI, preoperative creatinine, hematocrit, platelet count, and surgical approach. Model receiver-operator curve analysis provided a C-statistic of 0.79 (0.77, 0.82; p < 0.001), and overall calibration testing R2 was 0.99. Model performance in the validation cohort provided a C-statistic of 0.79 (0.76, 0.81; p < 0.001). CONCLUSION PORF is a known risk factor for chronic kidney disease and cardiovascular morbidity, and is a common occurrence after unilateral kidney removal. The authors propose a robust and validated risk prediction model to aid in identification of high-risk patients and optimization of perioperative care.

Abstract
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been identified as a class of regulatory RNAs that participate in both physiological and pathological conditions, including acute kidney injury. However, the roles of lncRNA dysregulation in the pathogenesis of contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) are largely unknown. In the present study, the expression profiles of lncRNAs in kidney tissue were compared between rats with CI-AKI and controls using high-throughput RNA sequencing. In total, 910 differentially expressed (DE) lncRNAs (DElncRNAs), including 415 downregulated and 495 upregulated lncRNAs, were identified at 12 h after intra-arterial iodinated contrast medium injection (fold change ≥2; P<0.05). Eight DElncRNAs were further selected and validated using reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction. A previous study defined microRNA (miRNA) and mRNA expression changes in the same CI-AKI model. In the present study, a lncRNA-mRNA co-expression network comprising 349 DElncRNAs and 202 DEmRNAs was constructed. The function of these DElncRNAs was mainly associated with oxidative stress and inflammation. Additionally, lncRNA-associated competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) analysis revealed a network comprising 40 DElncRNA nodes, 5 DEmiRNA nodes and 59 DEmRNA nodes. Among which, the carnosine dipeptidase 1-specific and the transmembrane protein 184B-specific networks were likely to be associated with CI-AKI. The results of the present study revealed the expression profile and potential roles of lncRNAs in CI-AKI, and provide a framework for further mechanistic studies.

Abstract
Radiological procedures utilizing intravenous iodinated contrast agents are being widely utilized for both therapeutic and diagnostic purposes. This has resulted in an increasing incidence of procedure-related, contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN). CIN is commonly defined as a decline in kidney function occurring in a narrow time window after administration of iodinated contrast agents. Although self-limiting in most cases, CIN carries a risk of more permanent renal insufficiency, dialysis, and death. It remains a common and serious complication among at-risk patients after exposure of contrast agents. Therefore, it is important to identify patients who are at risk during early stages to implement preventative strategies to decrease the incidence of CIN. Minimizing the amount of contrast administered and providing adequate hydration are the cornerstones of an effective preventative approach. This review focuses on the basic concepts of CIN and summarizes the current understanding of its pathophysiology. In addition, it provides practical recommendations with respect to CIN prevention and management.

Abstract
Kidney damage varies according to the primary insult. Different aetiologies of acute kidney injury (AKI), including kidney ischaemia, exposure to nephrotoxins, dehydration or sepsis, are associated with characteristic patterns of damage and changes in gene expression, which can provide insight into the mechanisms that lead to persistent structural and functional damage. Early morphological alterations are driven by a delicate balance between energy demand and oxygen supply, which varies considerably in different regions of the kidney. The functional heterogeneity of the various nephron segments is reflected in their use of different metabolic pathways. AKI is often linked to defects in kidney oxygen supply, and some nephron segments might not be able to shift to anaerobic metabolism under low oxygen conditions or might have remarkably low basal oxygen levels, which enhances their vulnerability to damage. Here, we discuss why specific kidney regions are at particular risk of injury and how this information might help to delineate novel routes for mitigating injury and avoiding permanent damage. We suggest that the physiological heterogeneity of the kidney should be taken into account when exploring novel renoprotective strategies, such as improvement of kidney tissue oxygenation, stimulation of hypoxia signalling pathways and modulation of cellular energy metabolism.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of erythropoietin (EPO) on contrast-induced nephrology (CIN) in vivo and in vitro. Male C57BL/6J mice were divided into four groups: control, CIN (iohexol 6.0 g/kg), EPO (3,000 IU/kg), and CIN+EPO. Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining and biochemical index analyses were performed to evaluate renal injury. The cellular proliferation rate was detected using the Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay. In addition, a terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay and flow cytometric assay were used to assess the apoptosis of tissue and cells, respectively. Renal protein expression associated with apoptosis, pyroptosis, and signaling pathways was determined by Western blot (WB) assays for tissues and cells. The results showed that EPO significantly decreased serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, and cystatin C levels and alleviated renal histological changes in vivo. The protein levels of Janus kinase 2/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (JAK2/STAT3) signaling pathway components were overexpressed in the EPO treatment group. Furthermore, EPO suppressed the cell apoptosis and pyroptosis; decreased the protein levels of cleaved caspase-3, Bax, gasdermin D (GSDMD), and caspase-1; and enhanced the expression of Bcl-2. In summary, EPO could exert renoprotective effect by activating the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway, which may be a novel potential therapy for the treatment of CIN in the clinic.

Abstract
Ischemic nephropathy reflects progressive loss of kidney function due to large vessel atherosclerotic occlusive disease. Recent studies indicate that this process is characterized by microvascular rarefaction, increased tissue hypoxia and activation of inflammatory processes of tissue injury. This review summarizes the rationale and application of functional MR imaging to evaluate tissue oxygenation in human subjects that defines the limits of renal adaptation to reduction in blood flow, development of increasingly severe tissue hypoxia and recruitment of inflammatory injury pathways in ischemic nephropathy. Human mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (MSC) are capable of modifying angiogenic pathways and immune responses, but the potency of these effects vary between individuals and various clinical characteristics including age and chronic kidney disease and levels of hypoxia. We summarize recently completed first-in-human studies applying intrarenal infusion of autologous adipose-derived MSC in human subjects with ischemic nephropathy that demonstrate a rise in blood flow and reduction in tissue hypoxia consistent with partial repair of microvascular injury, even without restoring main renal arterial blood flow. Inflammatory biomarkers in the renal vein of post-stenotic kidneys fell after MSC infusion. These changes were associated with modest but significant dose-related increments in kidney function. These data provide support a role for autologous MSC in repair of microvascular injury associated with tissue hypoxia.

J Arthroplasty 2021; 36:1023-1028. [PMID: 33067093 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2020.09.043] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2020] [Revised: 09/18/2020] [Accepted: 09/25/2020] [Indexed: 02/02/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is a medical comorbidity commonly diagnosed in those undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty (THA). The authors sought to evaluate IDA as a risk factor for early postoperative complications following discharge and describe the hospital resource utilization of this patient population. METHODS Patients with a diagnosis of IDA who underwent THA from 2005 to 2014 were identified in a national insurance database. The rates of postoperative medical complications and surgery-related complications, as well as hospital readmission, emergency department visits, and death were calculated. Additionally, 90-day and day of surgery cost and length of stay were calculated. IDA patients were then compared to a 4:1 matched control population without IDA using a logistic regression analysis to control for confounding factors. RESULTS In total, 98,681 patients with a preoperative diagnosis of IDA who underwent THA were identified and compared to 386,724 controls. IDA was associated with increased risk of 30-day emergency department visits (odds ratio [OR] 1.35, P < .001) and 30-day readmission (OR 1.49, P < .001). IDA was also associated with an increased 90-day medical complication rate (cerebrovascular accident OR 1.11, P = .003; urinary tract infection OR 1.14, P < .001; acute renal failure OR 1.24, P < .001; transfusion OR 1.40, P < .001), as well as 1-year periprosthetic joint infection (OR 1.27, P < .001), revision (OR 1.22, P < .001), dislocation (OR 1.25, P < .001), and fracture (OR 1.43, P < .001). Patients with IDA accrued higher hospital charges ($27,658.27 vs $16,709.18, P < .001) and lower hospital reimbursement ($5509.90 vs $3605.59, P < .001). CONCLUSION Patients with preoperative IDA undergoing THA are at greater risk of experiencing early postoperative complications and have greater utilization of hospital resources.

Risk Factors and Effect of Acute Kidney Injury on Outcomes Following Total Hip and Knee Arthroplasty. J Arthroplasty 2021; 36:331-338. [PMID: 32839060 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2020.07.072] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/18/2020] [Revised: 07/16/2020] [Accepted: 07/27/2020] [Indexed: 02/02/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Development of acute kidney injury (AKI) following primary total joint arthroplasty (TJA) is a potentially avoidable complication associated with negative outcomes including discharge to facilities and mortality. Few studies have identified modifiable risk factors or strategies that the surgeon may use to reduce this risk. METHODS We identified all patients undergoing primary TJA at a single hospital from 2005 to 2017, and collected patient demographics, comorbidities, short-term outcomes, as well as perioperative laboratory results. We defined AKI as an increase in creatinine levels by 50% or 0.3 points. We compared demographics, comorbidities, and outcomes between patients who developed AKI and those who did not. Multivariate regressions identified the independent effect of AKI on outcomes. A stochastic gradient boosting model was constructed to predict AKI. RESULTS In total, 814 (3.9%) of 20,800 patients developed AKI. AKI independently increased length of stay by 0.26 days (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.14-0.38, P < .001), in-hospital complication risk (odds ratio = 1.73, 95% CI 1.45-2.07, P < .001), and discharge to facility risk (odds ratio = 1.26, 95% CI 1.05-1.53, P = .012). Forty-one predictive variables were included in the predictive model, with important potentially modifiable variables including body mass index, perioperative hemoglobin levels, surgery duration, and operative fluids administered. The final predictive model demonstrated excellent performance with a c-statistic of 0.967. CONCLUSION Our results confirm that AKI has adverse effects on outcome metrics including length of stay, discharge, and complications. Although many risk factors are nonmodifiable, maintaining adequate renal perfusion through optimizing preoperative hemoglobin, sufficient fluid resuscitation, and reducing blood loss, such as through the use of tranexamic acid, may aid in mitigating this risk.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study assessed the protective effect of calcium dobesilate against contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) after coronary angiography (CAG) or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with diabetes and chronic kidney disease (CKD). METHODS A total of 130 patients with diabetes and CKD estimated glomerular filtration rate: 30-90 mL/min/1.73m2 were enrolled and included in the analysis. They were divided into experimental (n=65) and control groups (n=65). Patients in the experimental group were administered oral calcium dobesilate (500 mg) three times daily for 2 days before and 3 days after the procedure. The serum creatinine (SCr), cystatin C (Cys C), and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) levels were measured before and after the procedure. RESULTS The mean SCr level at 24h after the procedure was found to be significantly lower in the experimental group than in the control group (79.1±19.6 μmol/L vs. 87.0±19.3 μmol/L, p=0.023). However, the Cys C and NGAL levels were not significantly different between the two groups at all measurement time points (all p>0.05). The incidence of CIN defined by the SCr level was significantly lower in the experimental group than in the control group (3 [4.6%] vs. 13 [20.0%], p=0.017). However, the incidence of CIN defined by the Cys C level was not statistically different between the two groups (7 [10.8%] vs. 7 [10.8%], p=1.000). CONCLUSIONS This study revealed that calcium dobesilate has no preventive effect against CIN in patients with diabetes and CKD.

Abstract
Postoperative complications are common. Major guidelines have been published on stratifying and managing adverse cardiovascular events and thromboembolic events, but there is often less literature supporting management of other, more common, postoperative complications, including acute kidney injury, gastrointestinal complications, postoperative anemia, fever, and delirium. These common conditions are frequently seen in hospital and can contribute to longer lengths of stay and rising health care costs. These complications are often due to the interplay between both patient-specific and surgery-specific risk factors. Identifying these risk factors, while addressing and optimizing modifiable risks, can mitigate the likelihood of developing these postoperative complications. Often, a multidisciplinary approach, including care team members through all phases of the surgical encounter, is needed. Cardiovascular and thrombotic complications have been addressed in prior articles in this perioperative series. We aim to cover other common postoperative complications, such as acute renal failure, postoperative gastrointestinal complications, anemia, fever, and delirium that often contribute to longer lengths of stay, rising health care costs, and increased morbidity and mortality for patients.

Abstract
Concepts regarding hypoxic acute kidney injury (AKI) are derived from widely used warm ischemia-reflow (WIR) models, characterized by extensive proximal tubular injury and associated with profound inflammation. However, there is ample clinical and experimental data indicating that hypoxic AKI may develop without total cessation of renal blood flow, with a different injury pattern that principally affects medullary thick limbs in the outer medulla. This injury pattern likely reflects an imbalance between blood and oxygen supply and oxygen expenditure, principally for tubular transport. Experimental models of hypoxic AKI other than WIR are based on mismatched oxygen delivery and consumption, particularly within the physiologically hypoxic outer medulla. However, evidence for such circumstances in human AKI is lacking. Recent analysis of the clinical course and laboratory findings of patients following near-drowning (ND) provides a rare glimpse into such a scenario. This observation supports the role of renal hypoxia in the evolution of AKI, as renal impairment could be predicted by the degree of whole-body hypoxia (reflected by lactic acidosis). Furthermore, there was a close association of renal functional impairment with indices of reduced oxygen delivery (respiratory failure and features of intense sympathetic activity) and of enhanced oxygen consumption for active tubular transport (extrapolated from the calculated volume of consumed hypertonic seawater). This unique study in humans supports the concept of renal oxygenation imbalance in hypoxic AKI. The drowning scenario, particularly in seawater, may serve as an archetype of this disorder, resulting from reduced oxygen delivery, combined with intensified oxygen consumption for tubular transport.

Abstract
A gradually developing reduction in renal blood flow from atherosclerotic renovascular disease results in loss of kidney volume and a decrease in glomerular filtration rate that eventually becomes irreversible. Whether this process fundamentally reflects tissue hypoxia has been difficult to establish. Studies of human renovascular disease have indicated that reductions in blood flow of up to 30% to 40% can be tolerated with preservation of normal oxygenation and structural integrity. These observations are consistent with remarkable stability of poststenotic kidney function during sustained medical antihypertensive drug therapy in moderate renovascular disease. With more severe and sustained reductions, however, cortical oxygenation decreases and the magnitude of medullary hypoxia expands. These changes are associated with increasing renal venous levels of inflammatory cytokines, angiogenic markers, and infiltration of inflammatory cells, including tissue macrophages and T cells. Although restoring large-vessel blood flow can improve oxygenation, some of these processes reflect microvascular rarefication, remain activated, and do not depend on hemodynamic factors alone. Elucidation of tissue injury pathways associated with hypoxia opens the possibility of adjunctive therapeutic measures beyond renal revascularization. These include cell-based regeneration, mitochondrial protection, and/or angiogenic cytokine therapy to restore or preserve renal function in ischemic nephropathy.

Abstract
Hypoxia plays a role in the pathogenesis of acute kidney injury under diverse clinical settings, including nephrotoxicity. Although some nephrotoxins exert direct renal parenchymal injury, likely with consequent altered oxygenation, others primarily reduce renal parenchymal oxygenation, leading to hypoxic tubular damage. As outlined in this review, nephrotoxin-related renal hypoxia may result from an altered renal oxygen supply (cyclosporine), enhanced oxygen consumption for tubular transport (agents inducing osmotic diuresis), or their combination (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, radiocontrast agents, and others). Most agents causing hypoxic renal injury further supress physiologic low medullary Po2, in which a limited regional blood supply barely matches the intense regional tubular transport and oxygen consumption. The medullary tubular transport and blood supply are finely matched, securing oxygen sufficiency. Predisposition to hypoxia-mediated nephrotoxicity by medical conditions, such as chronic kidney disease or diabetes, may be explained by malfunctioning of control systems that normally maintain medullary oxygenation. However, this propensity may be diminished by hypoxia-mediated adaptive responses governed by hypoxia-inducible factors. Recent reports have suggested that inhibitors of sodium-glucose cotransporters and the administration of hypertonic saline may be added to the growing list of common therapeutic interventions that intensify medullary hypoxia, and potentially could lead to hypoxic acute kidney injury.

Abstract
Contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) is the third most common cause of hospital associated kidney damage. Potential mechanisms of CI-AKI may involve diminished renal hemodynamics, inflammatory responses, and direct cytotoxicity. The hypothesis for this study is that diatrizoic acid (DA) induces direct cytotoxicity to human proximal tubule (HK-2) cells via calcium dysregulation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and oxidative stress. HK-2 cells were exposed to 0–30 mg I/mL DA or vehicle for 2–24 h. Conversion of 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) and trypan blue exclusion indicated a decrease in mitochondrial and cell viability within 2 and 24 h, respectively. Mitochondrial dysfunction was apparent within 8 h post exposure to 15 mg I/mL DA as shown by Seahorse XF cell mito and Glycolysis Stress tests. Mitophagy was increased at 8 h by 15 mg I/mL DA as confirmed by elevated LC3BII/I expression ratio. HK-2 cells pretreated with calcium level modulators BAPTA-AM, EGTA, or 2-aminophenyl borinate abrogated DA-induced mitochondrial damage. DA increased oxidative stress biomarkers of protein carbonylation and 4-hydroxynonenol (4HNE) adduct formation. Caspase 3 and 12 activation was induced by DA compared to vehicle at 24 h. These studies indicate that clinically relevant concentrations of DA impair HK-2 cells by dysregulating calcium, inducing mitochondrial turnover and oxidative stress, and activating apoptosis.

Abstract
Pathological changes in the heart or kidney can instigate the release of a cascade of cardiorenal mediators that promote injury in the other organ. Combined dysfunction of heart and kidney is referred to as cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) and has gained considerable attention. CRS has been classified into five distinct entities, each with different major pathophysiological changes. Despite the magnitude of the public health problem of CRS, the underlying mechanisms are incompletely understood, and effective intervention is unavailable. Animal models have allowed us to discover pathogenic molecular changes to clarify the pathophysiological mechanisms responsible for heart-kidney interactions and to enable more accurate risk stratification and effective intervention. Here, this article focuses on the use of currently available animal models to elucidate mechanistic insights in the clinical cardiorenal phenotype arising from primary cardiac injury, primary renal disease with special emphasis of chronic kidney disease-specific risk factors, and simultaneous cardiorenal/renocardiac dysfunction. The development of novel animal models that recapitulate more closely the cardiorenal phenotype in a clinical scenario and discover the molecular basis of this condition will be of great benefit.

Abstract
The outcome of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) has dramatically improved over recent decades, thanks to early detection and prompt interventions to restore coronary blood flow. In contrast, the prognosis of patients with hypoxic acute kidney injury (AKI) remained unchanged over the years. Delayed diagnosis of AKI is a major reason for this discrepancy, reflecting the lack of symptoms and diagnostic tools indicating at real time altered renal microcirculation, oxygenation, functional derangement and tissue injury. New tools addressing these deficiencies, such as biomarkers of tissue damage are yet far less distinctive than myocardial biomarkers and advanced functional renal imaging technologies are non-available in the clinical practice. Moreover, our understanding of pathogenic mechanisms likely suffers from conceptual errors, generated by the extensive use of the wrong animal model, namely warm ischemia and reperfusion. This model parallels mechanistically type I AMI, which properly represents the rare conditions leading to renal infarcts, whereas common scenarios leading to hypoxic AKI parallel physiologically type II AMI, with tissue hypoxic damage generated by altered oxygen supply/demand equilibrium. Better understanding the pathogenesis of hypoxic AKI and its management requires a more extensive use of models of type II-rather than type I hypoxic AKI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Kidney ischemia/reperfusion (IR) injury is characterized by tubular epithelial cell (TEC) death and an inflammatory response involving cytokine production and immune cell infiltration. In various kidney diseases, increased macrophage numbers correlate with injury severity and poor prognosis. However, macrophage plasticity enables a diverse range of functions, including wound healing, making them a key target for novel therapies. This study aimed to comprehensively characterize the changes in myeloid and epithelial cells and the production of cytokines throughout the experimental IR model of acute kidney injury to aid in the identification of targets to promote and enhance kidney regeneration and repair. METHODS Flow cytometric analysis of murine unilateral IR injury was used to assess TEC and myeloid cell subpopulations in conjunction with histological analysis and cytokine production at 6 h, 1, 3, 5 and 7 days post IR injury, spanning the initial inflammatory phase and the following reparative phase. RESULTS IR injury resulted in a rapid infiltration of Ly6Chigh monocytes and neutrophils with a steady rise in F4/80high MHCIIhigh macrophages over the injury time. The production of the inflammatory cytokines IL-6, MCP-1 and TNF coincided with an increase in IL-10 production. CONCLUSION This characterization will provide a reference point for future studies designed to manipulate immune cell phenotype and function in order to promote endogenous repair of damaged kidneys.

Abstract
Sepsis-induced acute kidney injury (SAKI) is a major complication of kidney disease associated with increased mortality and faster progression. Therefore, the development of imaging biomarkers to detect septic AKI is of great clinical interest. In this study, we aimed to characterize the endogenous chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) MRI contrast in the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced SAKI mouse model and to investigate the use of CEST MRI for detecting such injury. We used a SAKI mouse model that was generated by i.p. injection of 10 mg/kg LPS. The resulting kidney injury was confirmed by the elevation of serum creatinine and histology. MRI assessments were performed 24 h after LPS injection, including CEST MRI at different B1 strengths (1, 1.8 and 3 μT), T1 mapping, T2 mapping and conventional magnetization transfer contrast (MTC) MRI. The CEST MRI results were analyzed using Z-spectra, in which the normalized water signal saturation (Ssat /S0 ) is measured as a function of saturation frequency. Substantial decreases in CEST contrast were observed at both 3.5 and - 3.5 ppm frequency offset from water at all B1 powers, with the most significant difference obtained at a B1 of 1.8 μT. The average Ssat /S0 differences between injured and normal kidneys were 0.07 (0.55 ± 0.04 versus 0.62 ± 0.04, P = 0.0028) and 0.07 (0.50 ± 0.04 versus 0.57 ± 0.03, P = 0.0008) for 3.5 and - 3.5 ppm, respectively. In contrast, the T1 and T2 relaxation times and MTC contrast in the injured kidneys did not show a significant change compared with the normal control. Our results showed that CEST MRI is more sensitive to the pathological changes in injured kidneys than the changes in T1 , T2 and MTC effect, indicating its potential clinical utility for molecular imaging of renal diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Open abdominal aortic aneurysm repair is often followed by elevated plasma creatinine, likely due to impaired renal blood flow. We evaluated whether postoperative elevation in creatinine relates to renal oxygen extraction during surgery as an index of renal blood flow and also monitored frontal lobe oxygenation. METHODS For 19 patients (66 ± 10 years; mean ± SD) undergoing open infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm repair, renal oxygen extraction was determined by arterial and renal vein catheterization. Near-infrared spectroscopy determined frontal lobe oxygenation. RESULTS During surgery mean arterial pressure (from 102 ± 14 to 65 ± 11 mm Hg; P < .0001), arterial hemoglobin (from 7.7 ± 0.7 to 6.6 ± 0.8 mmol/L; P < 0.0001), and frontal lobe oxygenation (from 74 ± 6% to 70 ± 6%; P = .0414) decreased, while renal oxygen extraction increased (from 5.3% [4.3-8.1]; median [interquartile range] to 10.8% [5.8-17.5]; P = .0405). Plasma creatinine became significantly elevated on the second day after the operation (from 83 [73-101] to 105 µmol/L [79-143]; P = .0062) with a peak increase observed after 2 days (1-2). The peak increase in creatinine correlated to intraoperative renal oxygen extraction ( r = 0.51; P = .026). CONCLUSION Kidney function was affected after open abdominal aortic aneurysm repair likely related to limited renal blood flow. We take the increase in renal oxygen extraction and reduction in frontal lobe oxygenation to suggest that mean arterial pressure and hemoglobin were too low to maintain renal and cerebral circulation in vascular surgical patients.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a syndrome of reduced glomerular filtration rate and urine production caused by a number of different diseases. It is associated with renal tissue damage. This tissue damage can cause tubular atrophy and interstitial fibrosis that leads to nephron loss and progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD). This review describes the in-common mechanisms behind tissue damage in AKI caused by different underlying diseases. Comparing six high-quality microarray studies of renal gene expression after AKI in disease models (gram-negative sepsis, gram-positive sepsis, ischemia-reperfusion, malignant hypertension, rhabdomyolysis, and cisplatin toxicity) identified 5,254 differentially expressed genes in at least one of the AKI models; 66% of genes were found only in one model, showing that there are unique features to AKI depending on the underlying disease. There were in-common features in the form of four genes that were differentially expressed in all six models, 49 in at least five, and 215 were found in common between at least four models. Gene ontology enrichment analysis could be broadly categorized into the injurious processes hypoxia, oxidative stress, and inflammation, as well as the cellular outcomes of cell death and tissue remodeling in the form of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition. Pathway analysis showed that MYC is a central connection in the network of activated genes in-common to AKI, which suggests that it may be a central regulator of renal gene expression in tissue injury during AKI. The outlining of this molecular network may be useful for understanding progression from AKI to CKD.

Abstract
The rat has classically been the species of choice for pharmacological studies and disease modeling, providing a source of high-quality physiological data on cardiovascular and renal pathophysiology over many decades. Recent developments in genome engineering now allow us to capitalize on the wealth of knowledge acquired over the last century. Here, we review rat models of hypertension, diabetic nephropathy, and acute and chronic kidney disease. These models have made important contributions to our understanding of renal diseases and have revealed key genes, such as Ace and P2rx7, involved in renal pathogenic processes. By targeting these genes of interest, researchers are gaining a better understanding of the etiology of renal pathologies, with the promised potential of slowing disease progression or even reversing the damage caused. Some, but not all, of these target genes have proved to be of clinical relevance. However, it is now possible to generate more sophisticated and appropriate disease models in the rat, which can recapitulate key aspects of human renal pathology. These advances will ultimately be used to identify new treatments and therapeutic targets of much greater clinical relevance. Summary: This Review highlights the key role that the rat continues to play in improving our understanding of the etiologies of renal pathologies, and how these insights have opened up new therapeutic avenues.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) after cardiac surgery is a common and serious complication. Several definitions of AKI have been proposed recently, and include both increases in serum creatinine levels and decreases in urine output as diagnostic criteria. The pathophysiology of postoperative AKI is complex and involves both ischemic injury and systemic inflammation. Identifying risk factors, such as old age, underlying diabetes, heart failure, and obesity, may aid in the application of preventative methods for postoperative AKI. Additionally, recognizing different risks after different types of surgical procedures would be valuable. Novel biomarkers that could detect AKI more precisely at an earlier time point are being investigated. Several new biomarkers have been assessed in large multi-center studies and are believed to accommodate conventional clinical findings in diagnosing postoperative AKI. In high-risk patients, preventative measures, such as the maintenance of adequate hemodynamics and sufficient fluid resuscitation, could lower the incidence of postoperative AKI. Avoiding nephrotoxic agents and optimizing preoperative hemoglobin levels to avoid excessive transfusions would also be beneficial. In situations in which medical management fails to maintain sufficient urine output and acid-base and electrolyte homeostasis, early initiation of renal replacement therapy should be considered.

Abstract
Background Interventional diagnostic and therapeutic procedures requiring intravascular iodinated contrast steadily increase patient exposure to the risks of contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CIAKI), which is associated with death, nonfatal cardiovascular events, and prolonged hospitalization. The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments for CIAKI prevention in patients undergoing cardiovascular invasive procedures with iodinated contrast. Methods and findings MEDLINE, Google Scholar, EMBASE and Cochrane databases as well as abstracts and presentations from major cardiovascular and nephrology meetings were searched, up to 22 April 2016. Eligible studies were randomized trials comparing strategies to prevent CIAKI (alone or in combination) when added to saline versus each other, saline, placebo, or no treatment in patients undergoing cardiovascular invasive procedures with administration of iodinated contrast. Two reviewers independently extracted trial-level data including number of patients, duration of follow-up, and outcomes. Eighteen strategies aimed at CIAKI prevention were identified. The primary outcome was the occurrence of CIAKI. Secondary outcomes were mortality, myocardial infarction, dialysis and heart failure. The data were pooled using network meta-analysis. Treatment estimates were calculated as odds ratios (ORs) with 95% credible intervals (CrI). 147 RCTs involving 33,463 patients were eligible. Saline plus N-acetylcysteine (OR 0.72, 95%CrI 0.57–0.88), ascorbic acid (0.59, 0.34–0.95), sodium bicarbonate plus N-acetylcysteine (0.59, 0.36–0.89), probucol (0.42, 0.15–0.91), methylxanthines (0.39, 0.20–0.66), statin (0.36, 0.21–0.59), device-guided matched hydration (0.35, 0.12–0.79), prostaglandins (0.26, 0.08–0.62) and trimetazidine (0.26, 0.09–0.59) were associated with lower odds of CIAKI compared to saline. Methylxanthines (0.12, 0.01–0.94) or left ventricular end-diastolic pressure-guided hydration (0.09, 0.01–0.59) were associated with lower mortality compared to saline. Conclusions Currently recommended treatment with saline as the only measure to prevent CIAKI during cardiovascular procedures may not represent the optimal strategy. Vasodilators, when added to saline, may significantly reduce the odds of CIAKI following cardiovascular procedures.

Abstract
Renal ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) is a leading cause of acute kidney injury (AKI), and at present, there is a lack of reliable biomarkers that can diagnose AKI and measure early progression because the commonly used methods cannot evaluate single-kidney IRI. Hyperpolarized [1,4-13C2]fumarate conversion to [1,4-13C2]malate by fumarase has been proposed as a measure of necrosis in rat tumor models and in chemically induced AKI rats. Here we show that the degradation of cell membranes in connection with necrosis leads to elevated fumarase activity in plasma and urine and secondly that hyperpolarized [1,4-13C2]malate production 24 h after reperfusion correlates with renal necrosis in a 40-min unilateral ischemic rat model. Fumarase activity screening on bio-fluids can detect injury severity, in bilateral as well as unilateral AKI models, differentiating moderate and severe AKI as well as short- and long-term AKI. Furthermore after verification of renal injury by bio-fluid analysis the precise injury location can be monitored by in vivo measurements of the fumarase activity non-invasively by hyperpolarized [1,4-13C]fumarate MR imaging. The combined in vitro and in vivo biomarker of AKI responds to the essential requirements for a new reliable biomarker of AKI.

Deletion of mineralocorticoid receptors in smooth muscle cells blunts renal vascular resistance following acute cyclosporine administration. Kidney Int 2017; 89:354-62.

Abstract
Calcineurin inhibitors such as cyclosporine A (CsA) are still commonly used after renal transplantation, despite CsA--induced nephrotoxicity (CIN), which is partly related to vasoactive mechanisms. The mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) is now recognized as a key player in the control of vascular tone, and both endothelial cell- and vascular smooth muscle cell (SMC)-MR modulate the vasoactive responses to vasodilators and vasoconstrictors. Here we tested whether vascular MR is involved in renal hemodynamic changes induced by CsA. The relative contribution of vascular MR in acute CsA treatment was evaluated using mouse models with targeted deletion of MR in endothelial cell or SMC. Results indicate that MR expressed in SMC, but not in endothelium, contributes to the increase of plasma urea and creatinine, the appearance of isometric tubular vacuolization, and overexpression of a kidney injury biomarker (neutrophil gelatinase--associated lipocalin) after CsA treatment. Inactivation of MR in SMC blunted CsA--induced phosphorylation of contractile proteins. Finally, the in vivo increase of renal vascular resistance induced by CsA was blunted when MR was deleted from SMC cells, and this was associated with decreased L-type Ca2D channel activity. Thus, our study provides new insights into the role of vascular MR in renal hemodynamics during acute CIN, and provides rationale for clinical studies of MR antagonism to manage the side effects of calcineurin inhibitors.

Abstract
Background The effects of blood transfusion on renal microcirculation during sepsis are unknown. This study aimed to investigate the effect of blood transfusion on renal microvascular oxygenation and renal function during sepsis-induced acute kidney injury. Methods Twenty-seven Wistar albino rats were randomized into four groups: a sham group (n = 6), a lipopolysaccharide (LPS) group (n = 7), a LPS group that received fluid resuscitation (n = 7), and a LPS group that received blood transfusion (n = 7). The mean arterial blood pressure, renal blood flow, and renal microvascular oxygenation within the kidney cortex were recorded. Acute kidney injury was assessed using the serum creatinine levels, metabolic cost, and histopathological lesions. Nitrosative stress (expression of endothelial (eNOS) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS)) within the kidney was assessed by immunohistochemistry. Hemoglobin levels, pH, serum lactate levels, and liver enzymes were measured. Results Fluid resuscitation and blood transfusion both significantly improved the mean arterial pressure and renal blood flow after LPS infusion. Renal microvascular oxygenation, serum creatinine levels, and tubular damage significantly improved in the LPS group that received blood transfusion compared to the group that received fluids. Moreover, the renal expression of eNOS was markedly suppressed under endotoxin challenge. Blood transfusion, but not fluid resuscitation, was able to restore the renal expression of eNOS. However, there were no significant differences in lactic acidosis or liver function between the two groups. Conclusions Blood transfusion significantly improved renal function in endotoxemic rats. The specific beneficial effect of blood transfusion on the kidney could have been mediated in part by the improvements in renal microvascular oxygenation and sepsis-induced endothelial dysfunction via the restoration of eNOS expression within the kidney.

Abstract
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the feasibility of dynamic renal R2 /R2 '/R2 * measurements based on a method, denoted psMASE-ME, in which a periodic 180° pulse-shifting multi-echo asymmetric spin echo (psMASE) sequence, combined with a moving estimation (ME) strategy, is adopted. Following approval by the institutional animal care and use committee, a block design of respiratory challenge with interleaved air and carbogen (97% O2 , 3% CO2 ) breathing was employed in nine rabbits. Parametrical R2 /R2 '/R2 * maps were computed and average R2 /R2 '/R2 * values were measured in regions of interest in the renal medulla and cortex. Bland-Altman plots showed good agreement between the proposed method and reference standards of multi-echo spin echo and multi-echo gradient echo sequences. Renal R2 , R2 ' and R2 * decreased significantly from 16.2 ± 4.4 s-1 , 9.8 ± 5.2 s-1 and 25.9 ± 5.0 s-1 to 14.9 ± 4.4 s-1 (p < 0.05), 8.5 ± 4.1 s-1 (p < 0.05) and 23.4 ± 4.8 s-1 (p < 0.05) in the cortex when switching the gas mixture from room air to carbogen. In the renal medulla, R2 , R2 ' and R2 * also decreased significantly from 12.9 ± 4.7 s-1 , 15.1 ± 5.8 s-1 and 27.9 ± 5.3 s-1 to 11.8 ± 4.5 s-1 (p < 0.05), 14.2 ± 4.2 s-1 (p < 0.05) and 25.8 ± 5.1 s-1 (p < 0.05). No statistically significant differences in relative R2 , R2 ' and R2 * changes were observed between the cortex and medulla (p = 0.72 for R2 , p = 0.39 for R2 ' and p = 0.61 for R2 *). The psMASE-ME method for dynamic renal R2 /R2 '/R2 * measurements, together with the respiratory challenge, has potential use in the evaluation of renal oxygenation in many renal diseases.

Abstract
Renal ischemia-reperfusion injury is a major cause of acute renal failure, causing renal cell death, a permanent decrease of renal blood flow, organ dysfunction and chronic kidney disease. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is an autologous product rich in growth factors, and therefore able to promote tissue regeneration and angiogenesis. This product has proven its efficacy in multiple studies, but has not yet been tested on kidney tissue. The aim of this work is to evaluate whether the application of PRP to rat kidneys undergoing ischemia-reperfusion reduces mid-term kidney damage. A total of 30 monorrenal Sprague-Dawley male rats underwent renal ischemia-reperfusion for 45 minutes. During ischemia, PRP (PRP Group, n = 15) or saline solution (SALINE Group, n = 15) was administered by subcapsular renal injection. Control kidneys were the contralateral organs removed immediately before the start of ischemia in the remaining kidneys. Survival, body weight, renal blood flow on Doppler ultrasound, kidney weight, kidney volume, blood biochemistry and histopathology were determined for all subjects and kidneys, as applicable. Correlations between these variables were searched for. The PRP Group showed significantly worse kidney blood flow (p = 0.045) and more histopathological damage (p<0.0001). Correlations were found between body weight, kidney volume, kidney weight, renal blood flow, histology, and serum levels of creatinine and urea. Our study provides the first evidence that treatment with PRP results in the deterioration of the kidney’s response to ischemia-reperfusion injury.

Abstract
This study aims to investigate the preventive effect of oral nicorandil on contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) in patients with renal insufficiency undergoing elective cardiac catheterization. A total of 240 patients with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of 60 mL/min or less, who were undergoing elective cardiac catheterization, were randomly assigned to nicorandil group (n = 120, 10 mg nicorandil, three times daily from 2 days before to 3 days after procedure) or control group (n = 120, matching placebo as the same method). The primary endpoint was the incidence of CIN defined as 25 % increase in serum creatinine (SCr) from baseline or 44 μmol/L (0.5 mg/dL) increase in absolute value within 72 h after exposure to contrast medium. The secondary endpoints were: (1) the changes of SCr, Cystatin-C (Cys-C) and eGFR within 72 h; (2) major adverse events (MACE) occurring within 30 days. Baseline characteristics of the patients in the two groups were similar. The incidence of CIN was significantly lower in nicorandil group compared with control group (6.67 vs. 17.5 %, P = 0.017). Compared with the control group, nicorandil group tended to have a lower SCr and Cys-C levels as well as a higher eGFR at 48 h after the procedure (all P < 0.05). There was no difference about the incidence of MACE within 30 days between nicorandil group and control group (4.16 vs. 5.83 %, P = 0.767). Multivariate logistic analysis showed that nicorandil was an independent protective factor against CIN (OR = 0.260, 95 % CI = 0.1-0.676, P = 0.006). Therefore, we concluded that oral nicorandil was associated with a decline in the incidence of CIN in patients with renal insufficiency undergoing elective cardiac catheterization.

Abstract
Hypoxia is the failure of oxygenation at the tissue level, where the reduced oxygen delivered is not enough to satisfy tissue demands. Metabolic depression is the physiological adaptation associated with reduced oxygen consumption, which evidently does not cause any harm to organs that are exposed to acute and short hypoxic insults. Oxidative stress (OS) refers to the imbalance between the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the ability of endogenous antioxidant systems to scavenge ROS, where ROS overwhelms the antioxidant capacity. Oxidative stress plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of diseases related to hypoxia during intrauterine development and postnatal life. Thus, excessive ROS are implicated in the irreversible damage to cell membranes, DNA, and other cellular structures by oxidizing lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. Here, we describe several pathophysiological conditions and in vivo and ex vivo models developed for the study of hypoxic and oxidative stress injury. We reviewed existing literature on the responses to hypoxia and oxidative stress of the cardiovascular, renal, reproductive, and central nervous systems, and discussed paradigms of chronic and intermittent hypobaric hypoxia. This systematic review is a critical analysis of the advantages in the application of some experimental strategies and their contributions leading to novel pharmacological therapies.

Clin Exp Pharmacol Physiol 2015; 40:262-72.

Abstract
In vitro studies suggest that combined activation of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) promotes the hypoxia response. However, their interrelationship in vivo remains poorly defined. The present study investigated the possible relationship between HIF-1 upregulation and STAT3 activation in the rodent kidney in vivo. Activation of HIF-1 and STAT3 was analysed by immunohistochemical staining and western blot analysis in: (i) models of hypoxia-associated kidney injury induced by radiocontrast media or rhabdomyolysis; (ii) following activation of STAT3 by the interleukin (IL)-6-soluble IL-6 receptor complex; or (iii) following HIF-1α stabilization using hypoxic and non-hypoxic stimuli (mimosine, FG-4497, CO, CoCl(2)) and in targeted von Hippel-Lindau-knockout mice. Western blot analysis and immunostaining revealed marked induction of both transcription factors under all conditions tested, suggesting that in vivo STAT3 can trigger HIF and vice versa. Colocalization of HIF-1α and phosphorylated STAT3 was detected in some, but not all, renal cell types, suggesting that in some cells a paracrine mechanism may be responsible for the reciprocal activation of the two transcription factors. Nevertheless, in several cell types spatial concordance was observed under the majority of conditions tested, suggesting that HIF-1 and STAT3 may act as cotranscription factors. These in vivo studies suggest that, in response to renal hypoxic-stress, upregulation of HIF-1 and activation of STAT3 may be both reciprocal and cell type dependent.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To assess the role of diuretics in acute kidney injury (AKI) and their effectiveness in preventing AKI, achieving fluid balance, and decreasing progression to chronic kidney disease (CKD). RECENT FINDINGS Diuretics are associated with increased risk for AKI. The theoretical advantage of diuretic-induced preservation of renal medullary oxygenation to prevent AKI has not been proven. A higher cumulative diuretic dose during the dialysis period can cause hypotension and increase mortality in a dose-dependent manner. Data on the use of forced euvolemic diuresis to prevent AKI remains controversial. Positive fluid balance has emerged as an independent predictor of adverse outcomes. Post-AKI furosemide dose had a favorable effect on mortality due in part to the reduction of positive fluid balance. There are exciting experimental data suggesting that spironolactone may prevent AKI once an ischemic insult has occurred and thus prevent the progression to CKD. SUMMARY Diuretics are ineffective and even detrimental in the prevention and treatment of AKI, and neither shorten the duration of AKI, nor reduce the need for renal replacement therapy. Diuretics have an important role in volume management in AKI, but they are not recommended for the prevention of AKI. There is increased emphasis on the prevention of progression of AKI to CKD.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a rapidly developing condition often associated with critical illness, with a high degree of morbidity and mortality, whose pathophysiology is ill understood. Recent investigations have identified the dysfunction of the renal microcirculation and its cellular and subcellular constituents as being central to the etiology of AKI. Injury is caused by inflammatory activation involving endothelial leucocyte interactions in combination with dysregulation of the homeostatis between oxygen, nitric oxide, and reactive oxygen species. Effective therapies expected to resolve AKI will have to control inflammation and restore this homeostasis. In order to apply and guide these therapies effectively, diagnostic tools aimed at physiological biomarkers of AKI for monitoring renal microcirculatory function in advance of changes in pharmacological biomarkers associated with structural damage of the kidney will need to be developed.

Abstract
Hypoxia-inducible factors are the universal cellular oxygen-sensitive transcription factors that activate a number of hypoxia responsive genes, some of which are responsible for protective cellular functions. During organ donation, allografts are exposed to significant periods of hypoxia and ischemia. Exploiting this pathway during donor management and organ preservation could prevent and reduce allograft injury and improve the outcomes of organ transplantation. We review the evidence on this pathway in organ preservation, drawing on experimental studies on donor management and ischemia reperfusion injury focusing on kidney, liver, cardiac and lung transplantation. We review the major technical and experimental challenges in exploring this pathway and suggest potential future avenues for research.

Abstract
Microvascular rarefaction, or loss of microvascular density, is increasingly implicated in the progression from acute ischemic kidney injury to chronic kidney disease. Microvascular dropout results in chronic tissue hypoxia, interstitial inflammation, and fibrosis. There is currently no therapeutic intervention for microvascular rarefaction. We hypothesize that capillary dropout begins with ischemic damage to endothelial mitochondria due to cardiolipin peroxidation, resulting in loss of cristae and the failure to regenerate ATP upon reperfusion. SS-31 is a cell-permeable peptide that targets the inner mitochondrial membrane and binds selectively to cardiolipin. It was recently shown to inhibit cardiolipin peroxidation by cytochrome c peroxidase activity, and it has been shown to protect mitochondrial cristae in proximal tubular cells during ischemia, and accelerated ATP recovery upon reperfusion. We found mitochondrial swelling and loss of cristae membranes in endothelial and medullary tubular epithelial cells after 45-min ischemia in the rat. The loss of cristae membranes limited the ability of these cells to regenerate ATP upon reperfusion and led to loss of vascular integrity and to tubular cell swelling. SS-31 prevented mitochondria swelling and protected cristae membranes in both endothelial and epithelial cells. By minimizing endothelial and epithelial cell injury, SS-31 prevented "no-reflow" after ischemia and significantly reduced the loss of peritubular capillaries and cortical arterioles, interstitial inflammation, and fibrosis at 4 wk after ischemia. These results suggest that mitochondria protection represents an upstream target for pharmacological intervention in microvascular rarefaction and fibrosis.

Abstract
Mitochondrial dysfunction has gained recognition as a contributing factor in many diseases. The kidney is a kind of organ with high energy demand, rich in mitochondria. As such, mitochondrial dysfunction in the kidney plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of kidney diseases. Despite the recognized importance mitochondria play in the pathogenesis of the diseases, there is limited understanding of various aspects of mitochondrial biology. This review examines the physiology and pathophysiology of mitochondria. It begins by discussing mitochondrial structure, mitochondrial DNA, mitochondrial reactive oxygen species production, mitochondrial dynamics, and mitophagy, before turning to inherited mitochondrial cytopathies in kidneys (inherited or sporadic mitochondrial DNA or nuclear DNA mutations in genes that affect mitochondrial function). Glomerular diseases, tubular defects, and other renal diseases are then discussed. Next, acquired mitochondrial dysfunction in kidney diseases is discussed, emphasizing the role of mitochondrial dysfunction in the pathogenesis of chronic kidney disease and acute kidney injury, as their prevalence is increasing. Finally, it summarizes the possible beneficial effects of mitochondrial-targeted therapeutic agents for treatment of mitochondrial dysfunction-mediated kidney injury-genetic therapies, antioxidants, thiazolidinediones, sirtuins, and resveratrol-as mitochondrial-based drugs may offer potential treatments for renal diseases.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is serious complication in hospitalized patients with high level of mortality. There is not much progress made for the past 50 years in reducing the mortality rate despite advances in understanding disease pathology. Using variety of animal models of acute kidney injury, scientist studies the pathogenic mechanism of AKI and to test therapeutic drugs, which may reduce renal injury. Among them, renal pedicle clamping and cisplatin induced nephrotoxicity in mice are most prominently used, mainly due to the availability of gene knockouts to study specific gene functions, inexpensive and availability of the inbred strain with less genetic variability. However, ischemic mouse model is highly variable and require excellent surgical skills to reduce variation in the observation. In this chapter, we describe a detailed protocol of the mouse model of bilateral renal ischemia-reperfusion and cisplatin induced nephrotoxicity. We also discuss the protocol for the isolation and analysis of infiltrated inflammatory cell into the kidney by flow cytometry. Information provided in this chapter will help scientist who wants to start research on AKI and want to establish the mouse model for ischemic and toxic kidney injury.

Abstract
We describe the determinants of urinary oxygen tension (Po2) and the potential for use of urinary Po2 as a “physiological biomarker” of the risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) in hospital settings. We also identify knowledge gaps required for clinical translation of bedside monitoring of urinary Po2. Hypoxia in the renal medulla is a hallmark of AKI of diverse etiology. Urine in the collecting ducts would be expected to equilibrate with the tissue Po2 of the inner medulla. Accordingly, the Po2 of urine in the renal pelvis changes in response to stimuli that would be expected to alter oxygenation of the renal medulla. Oxygen exchange across the walls of the ureter and bladder will confound measurement of the Po2 of bladder urine. Nevertheless, the Po2 of bladder urine also changes in response to stimuli that would be expected to alter renal medullary oxygenation. If confounding influences can be understood, urinary bladder Po2 may provide prognostically useful information, including for prediction of AKI after cardiopulmonary bypass surgery. To translate bedside monitoring of urinary Po2 into the clinical setting, we require 1) a more detailed knowledge of the relationship between renal medullary oxygenation and the Po2 of pelvic urine under physiological and pathophysiological conditions; 2) a quantitative understanding of the impact of oxygen transport across the ureteric epithelium on urinary Po2 measured from the bladder; and 3) a simple, robust medical device that can be introduced into the bladder via a standard catheter to provide reliable and continuous measurement of urinary Po2.

Abstract
In vitro and in vivo studies have demonstrated enhanced hypoxia and formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the kidney following the administration of iodinated contrast media, which play a relevant role in the development of contrast media-induced nephropathy. Many studies indeed support this possibility, suggesting a protective effect of ROS scavenging or reduced ROS formation with the administration of N-acetylcysteine and bicarbonate infusion, respectively. Furthermore, most risk factors, predisposing to contrast-induced nephropathy, are prone to enhanced renal parenchymal hypoxia and ROS formation. In this review, the association of renal hypoxia and ROS-mediated injury is outlined. Generated during contrast-induced renal parenchymal hypoxia, ROS may exert direct tubular and vascular endothelial injury and might further intensify renal parenchymal hypoxia by virtue of endothelial dysfunction and dysregulation of tubular transport. Preventive strategies conceivably should include inhibition of ROS generation or ROS scavenging.

Abstract
There is a growing appreciation for the role that acute kidney injury (AKI) plays in the propagation of critical illness. In children, AKI is not only an independent predictor of morbidity and mortality, but is also associated with especially negative outcomes when concurrent with acute lung injury (ALI). Experimental data provide evidence that kidney-lung crosstalk occurs and can be bidirectionally deleterious, although details of the precise molecular mechanisms involved in the AKI-ALI interaction remain incomplete. Clinically, ALI, and the subsequent clinical interventions used to stabilize gas exchange, carry consequences for the homeostasis of kidney function. Meanwhile, AKI negatively affects lung physiology significantly by altering the homeostasis of fluid balance, acid-base balance, and vascular tone. Experimental AKI research supports an "endocrine" role for the kidney, triggering a cascade of extra-renal inflammatory responses affecting lung homeostasis. In this review, we will discuss the pathophysiology of kidney-lung crosstalk, the multiple pathways by which AKI affects kidney-lung homeostasis, and discuss how these phenomena may be unique in critically ill children. Understanding how AKI may affect a "balance of communication" that exists between the kidneys and the lungs is requisite when managing critically ill children, in whom imbalance is the norm.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication of noncardiac surgery and is associated with excess morbidity and mortality. Perioperative hemoglobin concentrations are strongly associated with surgical mortality, but little is known about their relationship with AKI. We studied hemoglobin concentration before and 24 hours after surgery and its association with AKI. METHODS We performed a single-center observational cohort study using clinical and administrative data from the Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, OH. In patients with normal preoperative renal function, we examined the association between the outcome of AKI and the exposures of preoperative hemoglobin concentration and decrements in hemoglobin concentration in the first 24 hours after surgery using logistic regression and controlling for important confounding variables. RESULTS We included 27,381 patients who had 33,330 noncardiac surgeries. AKI developed in 2478 (7.4%) surgeries. Preoperative hemoglobin concentrations were <12.0 g/dL in 9566 (29%) patients. Hemoglobin concentrations decreased by >4.0 g/dL in 10,808 (32%) patients. Compared with patients with a preoperative hemoglobin >12.0 g/dL, the adjusted odds ratio (OR) for AKI was 2.01 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.8-2.3) for those with a preoperative hemoglobin between 10.1 and 12.0 g/dL and was 3.7 (95% CI, 2.6-5.4) for those with a preoperative hemoglobin <8.0 g/dL. Compared with patients who did not have a decrease in postoperative hemoglobin, a decrement of 1.1 to 2.0 g/dL was associated with an adjusted OR of 1.51 (95% CI, 1.15-1.98), and a decrement of >4.0 g/dL with an OR of 4.7 (95% CI, 3.6-6.2) for AKI. CONCLUSIONS Low preoperative and early postoperative decrements in hemoglobin concentrations are strongly associated with postoperative AKI in a graded manner. Given the frequency of low perioperative hemoglobin and decreases in hemoglobin concentration, research is needed to determine whether there are safe treatment strategies to mitigate the risk of AKI.
