Abdelhafez MO, Alhroob AA, Abu Hawilla MO, Rjoob AA, Abualia NM, Gorman EF, Hamadah AM, Gharaibeh KA. Utility of fractional excretion of urea in acute kidney injury with comparison to fractional excretion of sodium: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Am J Med Sci 2024; 368:224-234. [PMID: 38768779 DOI: 10.1016/j.amjms.2024.04.021] [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: 09/13/2023] [Revised: 02/28/2024] [Accepted: 04/18/2024] [Indexed: 05/22/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Differentiating between intrinsic and prerenal acute kidney injury (AKI) presents a challenge. Here, we assessed the performance of the fractional excretion of urea (FEUrea) and compared it to the fractional excretion of sodium (FENa) in distinguishing intrinsic from prerenal AKI. METHODS A thorough search was conducted in several databases until January 16, 2024. We included studies evaluating FEUrea, with or without FENa, for differentiating AKI etiologies in adults. We assessed the methodological quality using the QUADAS-2 and QUADAS-C tools. We performed a meta-analysis using the bivariate random effects model, with subgroup analyses to explore the impact of diuretic therapy on FEUrea, and direct statistical comparisons between FEUrea and FENa involving the subgroups with and without diuretics. RESULTS We included 11 studies with 1108 hospitalized patients. Among eight studies (915 patients) evaluating FEUrea >35% for distinguishing intrinsic from prerenal AKI, the pooled sensitivity and specificity were 66% (95% CI, 49%-79%) and 75% (95% CI, 60%-85%), respectively. In a subset of six studies (302 patients) comparing FEUrea at 35% to FENa at 1% in patients not receiving diuretics, there were no significant differences in sensitivity (77% versus 89%, P = 0.410) or specificity (80% versus 79%, P = 0.956). In four studies, 244 patients on diuretics, FEUrea demonstrated lower sensitivity (52% versus 92%, P < 0.001) but higher specificity (82% versus 44%, P < 0.001) compared to FENa for the diagnosis of intrinsic AKI. CONCLUSIONS FEUrea has limited utility in differentiating intrinsic from prerenal AKI. FEUrea does not provide a superior alternative to FENa, even in patients receiving diuretics.

Abstract
PURPOSE Standardized blood tests often lack adequate sensitivity and specificity to capture the gradual progression of renal injuries. We suggest a multiparametric molecular MRI approach as a noninvasive tool for monitoring renal function loss and distinguishing different types of renal injuries. METHODS CEST and quantitative magnetization transfer (qMT) imaging were performed on cisplatin (n = 16) and aristolochic acid (AA)-induced nephropathy (n = 22) mouse models at 7T with an infusion of either saline or urea. Seven-pool Lorentzian fitting was applied for the analysis of CEST Z-spectra, and the T1 -corrected CEST contrast apparent exchange-dependent relaxation (AREX) from urea (+1 ppm) and two nuclear Overhauser enhancement (NOE) pools (-1.6 and -3.5 ppm) were measured. Similarly, qMT spectra were fitted into two-pool Ramani equation and the relative semi-solid macromolecular pool-size ratio was measured. Histology of mouse kidneys was performed to validate the MR findings. RESULTS AA model showed disrupted spatial gradients of urea in the kidney and significantly decreased NOE CEST and qMT contrast. The cisplatin model showed slightly decreased qMT contrast only. The orrelation of MR parameters to histological features showed that NOE CEST and qMT imaging are sensitive to both acute and chronic injuries, whereas urea CEST shows a significant correlation only to acute injuries. CONCLUSION These results indicate that our multiparametric approach allows comprehensive and totally noninvasive monitoring of renal function and histological changes for distinguishing different nephropathies.

Abstract
Acute pyelonephritis caused by uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC) can cause renal scarring and lead to development of chronic kidney disease. Prevention of kidney injury requires an understanding of host factors and/or UPEC adaptive responses that are permissive for UPEC colonization of the urinary tract. Although some studies have suggested urine acidification limits UPEC growth in culture, other studies have described acid-resistance mechanisms (AR) in E. coli such as the CadC/CadBA module that promotes adaptation to acid and nitrosative stress. Herein we confirm and extend our previous study by demonstrating that despite urine acidification, metabolic acidosis induced by dietary ammonium chloride (NH4 Cl-A) exacerbates cystitis and pyelonephritis in innate immune competent (C3H-HeN) mice characterized by: (1) markedly elevated UPEC burden and increased chemokine/cytokine and NOS2 mRNA expression, (2) accumulation of intravesicular debris noninvasively detected by Power Doppler Ultrasound (PDUS), and (3) collecting duct (CD) dysfunction that manifests as a urine concentration defect. Bladder debris and CD dysfunction were due to the inflammatory response, as neither was observed in Tlr4-deficient (C3H-HeJ) mice. The effect of NH4 Cl-A was unrelated to acidosis as dietary administration of hydrochloric acid (HCl-A) yielded a comparable acid-base status yet did not increase UPEC burden. NH4 Cl-A increased polyamines and decreased nitric oxide (NO) metabolites in urine indicating that excess dietary ammonium shifts arginine metabolism toward polyamines at the expense of NO synthesis. Furthermore, despite increased expression of NOS2, NO production post UPEC infection was attenuated in NH4 Cl-A mice compared to controls. Thus, in addition to induction of metabolic acidosis and urine acidification, excess dietary ammonium alters the polyamine:NO balance and thereby compromises NOS2-mediated innate immune defense.

Abstract
We discuss the use of urine electrolytes and urine osmolality in the clinical diagnosis of patients with fluid, electrolytes, and acid-base disorders, emphasizing their physiological basis, their utility, and the caveats and limitations in their use. While our focus is on information obtained from measurements in the urine, clinical diagnosis in these patients must integrate information obtained from the history, the physical examination, and other laboratory data.

Abstract
Acute pancreatitis (AP) is the most frequent gastrointestinal cause for hospitalization and one of the leading causes of in-hospital deaths. Severe acute pancreatitis is often associated with multiorgan failure and especially with acute kidney injury (AKI). AKI can develop early or late in the course of the disease and is a strong determinator of outcome. The mortality in the case of dialysis-dependent AKI and acute pancreatitis raises exponentially in the affected patients. AP-induced AKI (AP-AKI) shows many similarities but also distinct differences to other causes of AKI occurring in the intensive care unit setting. The knowledge of the exact pathophysiology can help to adjust, control and improve therapeutic approaches to the disease. Unfortunately, there are only a few studies dealing with AP and AKI.In this review, we discuss recent data about pathogenesis, causes and management of AP-AKI in patients with severe acute pancreatitis and exploit in this regard the diagnostic and prognostic potential of respective newer serum and urine markers.

Abstract
PURPOSE We demonstrate a method of delayed urea differential enhancement CEST for probing urea recycling action of the kidney using expanded multi-pool Lorentzian fitting and apparent exchange-dependent relaxation compensation. METHODS T1 correction of urea CEST contrast by apparent exchange-dependent relaxation was tested in phantoms. Nine mice were scanned at 7 Tesla following intraperitoneal injection of 2M 150 μL urea, and later saline. T1 maps and Z-spectra were acquired before and 20 and 40 min postinjection. Z-spectra were fit to a 7-pool Lorentzian model for CEST quantification and compared to urea assay of kidney homogenate. Renal injury was induced by aristolochic acid in 7 mice, and the same scan protocol was performed. RESULTS Apparent exchange-dependent relaxation corrected for variable T1 times in phantoms. Urea CEST contrast at +1 ppm increased significantly at both time points following urea injection in the inner medulla and papilla. When normalizing the postinjection urea CEST contrast to the corresponding baseline value, both urea and saline injection resulted in identical fold changes in urea CEST contrast. Urea assay of kidney homogenate showed a significant correlation to both apparent exchange-dependent relaxation (R2 = 0.4687, P = .0017) and non-T1 -corrected Lorentzian amplitudes (R2 = 0.4964, P = .0011). Renal injury resulted in increased T1 time in the cortex and reduced CEST contrast change upon urea and saline infusion. CONCLUSION Delayed urea enhancement following infusion can provide insight into renal urea handling. In addition, changes in CEST contrast at 1.0 ppm following saline infusion may provide insight into renal function.

Abstract
The human urea transporter SLC14A1 (HUT11/UT-B) has been suggested as a marker for the adipogenic differentiation of bone cells with a relevance for bone diseases. We investigated the function of SLC14A1 in different cells models from bone environment. SLC14A1 expression and cytokine production was investigated in bone cells obtained from patients with osteoporosis. Gene and protein expression of SLC14A1 was studied during adipogenic or osteogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal progenitor cells (hMSCs) and of the single-cell-derived hMSC line (SCP-1), as well as in osteoclasts and chondrocytes. Localization was determined by histochemical methods and functionality by urea transport experiments. Expression of SLC14A1 mRNA was lower in cells from patients with osteoporosis that produced high levels of cytokines. Accordingly, when adding a combination of cytokines to SCP-1 SLC14A1 mRNA expression decreased. SLC14A1 mRNA expression decreased after both osteogenic and more pronounced adipogenic stimulation of hMSCs and SCP-1 cells. The highest SLC14A1 expression was determined in undifferentiated cells, lowest in chondrocytes and osteoclasts. Downregulation of SLC14A1 by siRNA resulted in an increased expression of interleukin-6 and interleukin-1 beta as well as adipogenic markers. Urea influx through SLC14A1 increased expression of osteogenic markers, adipogenic markers were suppressed. SLC14A1 protein was localized in the cell membrane and the cytoplasm. Summarizing, the SLC14A1 urea transporter affects early differentiation of hMSCs by diminishing osteogenesis or by favoring adipogenesis, depending on its expression level. Therefore, SLC14A1 is not unequivocally an adipogenic marker in bone. Our findings suggest an involvement of SLC14A1 in bone metabolism and inflammatory processes and disease-dependent influences on its expression.

Abstract
PURPOSE Renal function is characterized by concentration of urea for removal in urine. We tested urea as a CEST-MRI contrast agent for measurement of the concentrating capacity of distinct renal anatomical regions. METHODS The CEST contrast of urea was examined using phantoms with different concentrations and pH levels. Ten C57BL/6J mice were scanned twice at 7 T, once following intraperitoneal injection of 2M 150 µL urea and separately following an identical volume of saline. Kidneys were segmented into regions encompassing the cortex, outer medulla, and inner medulla and papilla to monitor spatially varying urea concentration. Z-spectra were acquired before and 20 minutes after injection, with dynamic scanning of urea handling performed in between via serial acquisition of CEST images acquired following saturation at +1 ppm. RESULTS Phantom experiments revealed concentration and pH-dependent CEST contrast of urea that was both acid- and base-catalyzed. Z-spectra acquired before injection showed significantly higher CEST contrast in the inner medulla and papilla (2.3% ± 1.9%) compared with the cortex (0.15% ± 0.75%, P = .011) and outer medulla (0.12% ± 0.58%, P = .008). Urea infusion increased CEST contrast in the inner medulla and papilla by 2.1% ± 1.9% (absolute), whereas saline infusion decreased CEST contrast by -0.5% ± 2.0% (absolute, P = .028 versus urea). Dynamic scanning revealed that thermal drift and diuretic status are confounding factors. CONCLUSION Urea CEST has a potential of monitoring renal function by capturing the spatially varying urea concentrating ability of the kidneys.

Abstract
Sepsis is a multiorgan disease affecting the ileum and jejunum (small intestine), liver, skeletal muscle, and lung clinically. The specific metabolic changes in the ileum, jejunum, liver, skeletal muscle, and lung have not previously been investigated. Live Pseudomonas aeruginosa, isolated from a patient, was given via i.v. catheter to pigs to induce severe sepsis. Eighteen hours later, ileum, jejunum, medial gastrocnemius skeletal muscle, liver, and lung were analyzed by nontargeted metabolomics analysis using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. The ileum and the liver demonstrated significant changes in metabolites involved in linoleic acid metabolism: the ileum and lung had significant changes in the metabolism of valine/leucine/isoleucine; the jejunum, skeletal muscle, and liver had significant changes in arginine/proline metabolism; and the skeletal muscle and lung had significant changes in aminoacyl-tRNA biosynthesis, as analyzed by pathway analysis. Pathway analysis also identified changes in metabolic pathways unique for different tissues, including changes in the citric acid cycle (jejunum), β-alanine metabolism (skeletal muscle), and purine metabolism (liver). These findings demonstrate both overlapping metabolic pathways affected in different tissues and those that are unique to others and provide insight into the metabolic changes in sepsis leading to organ dysfunction. This may allow therapeutic interventions that focus on multiple tissues or single tissues once the relationship of the altered metabolites/metabolism to the underlying pathogenesis of sepsis is determined.

Abstract
Urinary chemistries vary widely in both health and disease and are affected by diet, volume status, medications, and disease states. When properly examined, these tests provide important insight into the mechanism and therapy of various clinical disorders that are first detected by abnormalities in plasma chemistries. These tests cannot be interpreted in isolation, but instead require knowledge of key clinical information, such as medications, physical examination, and plasma chemistries, to include kidney function. When used appropriately and with knowledge of limitations, urine chemistries can provide important insight into the pathophysiology and treatment of a wide variety of disorders.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication, impacting short- and long-term patient outcomes. Although the application of the classification systems for AKI has improved diagnosis, early clinical recognition of AKI is still challenging, as increments in serum creatinine may be late and low urine output is not always present. The role of urinary biochemistry has remained unclear, especially in critically ill patients. Differentiating between a transient and persistent acute kidney injury is of great need in clinical practice, and despite studies questioning their application in clinical practice, biochemistry indices continue to be used while we wait for a novel early injury biomarker. An ideal marker would provide more detailed information about the type, intensity, and location of the injury. In this review, we will discuss factors affecting the fractional excretion of sodium (FeNa) and fractional excretion of urea (FeU). We believe that the frequent assessment of urinary biochemistry and microscopy can be useful in evaluating the likelihood of AKI reversibility. The availability of early injury biomarkers could help guide clinical interventions.

Abstract
Renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI), an important cause of acute kidney injury (AKI), causes increased renal tubular injury and microvascular inflammation. 1,[Formula: see text]2,[Formula: see text]3,[Formula: see text]4,[Formula: see text]6-penta-O-galloyl-[Formula: see text]-D-glucose (PGG) from Galla rhois has anticancer, anti-oxidation and angiogenesis effects. We examined protective effects of PGG on IRI-induced acute AKI. Clamping both renal arteries for 45[Formula: see text]min induced isechemia and then reperfusion. Treatment with PGG (10[Formula: see text]mg/kg/day and 50[Formula: see text]mg/kg/day for four days) significantly ameliorated urine volume, urine osmolality, creatinine clearance (Ccr) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN). In addition, PGG increased aquaporine 1/2/3, Na[Formula: see text]-K[Formula: see text]-ATPase and urea transporter (UT-B) and decreased ICAM-1, MCP-1, and HMGB-1 expression. In this histopathologic study, PGG improved glomerular and tubular damage. Immunohistochemistry results showed that PGG increased aquaporine 1/2, and Na[Formula: see text]-K[Formula: see text] ATPase and decreased ICAM-1 expression. These findings suggest that PGG ameliorates tubular injury including tubular dysfunction and microvascular inflammation in IRI-induced AKI rats.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sepsis remains a major health-care burden and source of morbidity and mortality. Acute kidney injury and failure frequently accompanies severe sepsis and contributes to this burden. Despite a great deal of research, the exact mechanisms underlying renal failure in sepsis are poorly understood. This study aims to further understand metabolic changes in renal tissue during sepsis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Experimental sepsis was induced by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) in C57BL/6 mice. Serum and organs were harvested 8 h after CLP. Markers of renal function including serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, and cystatin C were measured. Whole kidneys were analyzed for a global biochemical profile via liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry by Metabolon. RESULTS CLP induced renal injury as evidenced by elevated serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, and cystatin C. Global energetic profile in sepsis showed an increase in glycolytic intermediates with decreased flux through the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle. Multiple inflammatory markers were elevated in response to CLP. Levels of osmotic regulators varied, with an overall increase in pinitol, urea, and taurine in response to CLP. CONCLUSIONS CLP resulted in dramatic changes in the renal macromolecular milieu. There appears to be an increased dependence on glycolysis and diminished flush through the TCA cycle. In addition, changes in renal osmolytes including pinitol, urea, and taurine were observed, perhaps uncovering an additional change with implications on renal function during sepsis.

Abstract
Proinflammatory cytokines affect several cell functions via receptor-mediated processes. In the kidney, functions of transporters and ion channels along the nephron are also affected by some cytokines. Among these, alteration of activity of potassium ion (K(+)) channels induces changes in transepithelial transport of solutes and water in the kidney, since K(+) channels in tubule cells are indispensable for formation of membrane potential which serves as a driving force for the transepithelial transport. Altered K(+) channel activity may be involved in renal cell dysfunction during inflammation. Although little information was available regarding the effects of proinflammatory cytokines on renal K(+) channels, reports have emerged during the last decade. In human proximal tubule cells, interferon-γ showed a time-dependent biphasic effect on a 40 pS K(+) channel, that is, delayed suppression and acute stimulation, and interleukin-1β acutely suppressed the channel activity. Transforming growth factor-β1 activated KCa3.1 K(+) channel in immortalized human proximal tubule cells, which would be involved in the pathogenesis of renal fibrosis. This review discusses the effects of proinflammatory cytokines on renal K(+) channels and the causal relationship between the cytokine-induced changes in K(+) channel activity and renal dysfunction.

Abstract
The aim of our study was to investigate whether two potent anti-inflammatory agents, dexamethasone and anakinra, an IL-1 receptor antagonist, may influence acute kidney injury (AKI) and associated drug excretory functions during endotoxemia (LPS) in rats. Ten hours after LPS administration, untreated endotoxemic rats developed typical symptoms of AKI, with reduced GFR, impaired tubular excretion of urea and sodium, and decreased urinary excretion of azithromycin, an anionic substrate for multidrug resistance-transporting proteins. Administration of both immunosuppressants attenuated the inflammatory response, liver damage, AKI, and increased renal clearance of azithromycin mainly by restoration of GFR, without significant influence on its tubular secretion. The lack of such an effect was related to the differential effect of both agents on the renal expression of individual drug transporters. Only dexamethasone increased the urinary clearance of bile acids, in accordance with the reduction of the apical transporter (Asbt) for their tubular reabsorption. In summary, our data demonstrated the potency of both agents used for the prevention of AKI, imposed by endotoxins, and for the restoration of renal drug elimination, mainly by the improvement of GFR. The influence of both drugs on altered tubular functions and the expression of drug transporters was differential, emphasizing the necessity of knowledge of transporting pathways for individual drugs applied during sepsis. The effect of anakinra suggests a significant contribution of IL-1 signaling to the pathogenesis of LPS-induced AKI.

Abstract
A urea transporter protein in the kidney was first proposed in 1987. The first urea transporter cDNA was cloned in 1993. The SLC14a urea transporter family contains two major subgroups: SLC14a1, the UT-B urea transporter originally isolated from erythrocytes; and SLC14a2, the UT-A group originally isolated from kidney inner medulla. Slc14a1, the human UT-B gene, arises from a single locus located on chromosome 18q12.1-q21.1, which is located close to Slc14a2. Slc14a1 includes 11 exons, with the coding region extending from exon 4 to exon 11, and is approximately 30 kb in length. The Slc14a2 gene is a very large gene with 24 exons, is approximately 300 kb in length, and encodes 6 different isoforms. Slc14a2 contains two promoter elements: promoter I is located in the typical position, upstream of exon 1, and drives the transcription of UT-A1, UT-A1b, UT-A3, UT-A3b, and UT-A4; while promoter II is located within intron 12 and drives the transcription of UT-A2 and UT-A2b. UT-A1 and UT-A3 are located in the inner medullary collecting duct, UT-A2 in the thin descending limb and liver, UT-A5 in testis, UT-A6 in colon, UT-B1 primarily in descending vasa recta and erythrocytes, and UT-B2 in rumen.

Abstract
UT-A and UT-B families of urea transporters consist of multiple isoforms that are subject to regulation of both acutely and by long-term measures. This chapter provides a brief overview of the expression of the urea transporter forms and their locations in the kidney. Rapid regulation of UT-A1 results from the combination of phosphorylation and membrane accumulation. Phosphorylation of UT-A1 has been linked to vasopressin and hyperosmolality, although through different kinases. Other acute influences on urea transporter activity are ubiquitination and glycosylation, both of which influence the membrane association of the urea transporter, again through different mechanisms. Long-term regulation of urea transport is most closely associated with the environment that the kidney experiences. Low-protein diets may influence the amount of urea transporter available. Conditions of osmotic diuresis, where urea concentrations are low, will prompt an increase in urea transporter abundance. Although adrenal steroids affect urea transporter abundance, conflicting reports make conclusions tenuous. Urea transporters are upregulated when P2Y2 purinergic receptors are decreased, suggesting a role for these receptors in UT regulation. Hypercalcemia and hypokalemia both cause urine concentration deficiencies. Urea transporter abundances are reduced in aging animals and animals with angiotensin-converting enzyme deficiencies. This chapter will provide information about both rapid and long-term regulation of urea transporters and provide an introduction into the literature.

Abstract
A goal for scientists studying septic acute kidney injury (AKI) should be to formulate a conceptual model of disease that is able to coherently reconcile the molecular and inflammatory consequences of sepsis with impaired epithelial tubular function, diminished glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and ultimately kidney failure. Recent evidence has shed light on how sepsis modulates the tubular regulation of ion, glucose, urea and water transport and acid-base homeostasis in the kidney. The present review summarizes recent discoveries on changes in epithelial transport under septic and endotoxemic conditions as well as the mechanisms that link inflammation with impaired tubular membrane transport. This paper also proposes that the tubular dysfunction that is mediated by inflammation in sepsis ultimately leads to increased sodium and chloride delivery to the distal tubule and macula densa, contributing to tubuloglomerular feedback and impaired GFR. We feel that this conceptual model resolves many of the physiologic and clinical paradoxes that septic AKI presents to practicing researchers and clinicians.

Abstract
Chronic renal inflammation is an increasingly recognized phenomenon in multiple disease states, but the impact of specific cytokines on renal function is unclear. Previously, we found that 14-day interleukin-1β (IL-1β) infusion increased urine flow in mice. To determine the mechanism by which this occurs, the current study tested the possible involvement of three classical prodiuretic pathways. Chronic IL-1β infusion significantly increased urine flow (6.5 ± 1 ml/day at day 14 vs. 2.3 ± 0.3 ml/day in vehicle group; P < 0.05) and expression of cyclooxygenase (COX)-2, all three nitric oxide synthase (NOS) isoforms, and endothelin (ET)-1 in the kidney (P < 0.05 in all cases). Urinary prostaglandin E metabolite (PGEM) excretion was also significantly increased at day 14 of IL-1β infusion (1.21 ± 0.26 vs. 0.29 ± 0.06 ng/day in vehicle-infused mice; P = 0.001). The selective COX-2 inhibitor celecoxib markedly attenuated urinary PGEM excretion and abolished the diuretic response to chronic IL-1β infusion. In contrast, deletion of NOS3, or inhibition of NOS1 with L-VNIO, did not blunt the diuretic effect of IL-1β, nor did pharmacological blockade of endothelin ETA and ETB receptors with A-182086. Consistent with a primary effect on water transport, IL-1β infusion markedly reduced inner medullary aquaporin-2 expression (P < 0.05) and did not alter urinary Na⁺ or K⁺ excretion. These data indicate a critical role for COX-2 in mediating the effects of chronic IL-1β elevation on the kidney.

Abstract
Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) is a pleiotropic cytokine that becomes elevated in chronic inflammatory states such as hypertension and diabetes and has been found to mediate both increases and decreases in blood pressure. High levels of TNF-α decrease blood pressure, whereas moderate increases in TNF-α have been associated with increased NaCl retention and hypertension. The explanation for these disparate effects is not clear but could simply be due to different concentrations of TNF-α within the kidney, the physiological status of the subject, or the type of stimulus initiating the inflammatory response. TNF-α alters renal hemodynamics and nephron transport, affecting both activity and expression of transporters. It also mediates organ damage by stimulating immune cell infiltration and cell death. Here we will summarize the available findings and attempt to provide plausible explanations for such discrepancies.

Abstract
Severe sepsis is often accompanied by acute renal failure with renal tubular dysfunction. Albuminuria is a common finding in septic patients and we studied whether it was due to an impairment of proximal tubular endocytosis of filtered albumin. We studied the regulation of megalin and cubilin, the two critical multiligand receptors responsible for albumin absorption, during severe experimental endotoxemia. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) caused a time- and dose-dependent suppression of megalin and cubilin expression that was paralleled by a decrease in plasma albumin levels and an increase in the urine concentration of albumin in mice. Incubation of rat renal cortical slices with LPS also reduced the mRNA expression of megalin and cubilin. Further, LPS suppressed megalin and cubilin mRNA expression in murine primary proximal tubule cells and decreased the uptake of FITC albumin in these cells. In addition, the increase in urine levels of albumin in response to ischemia/reperfusion-induced acute renal failure was paralleled by a decrease in the expression of megalin and cubilin. Thus, our data indicate that the expression of megalin and cubilin is decreased during experimental endotoxemia and in response to renal ischemia/reperfusion injury. This downregulation may contribute, in part, to an increase in urine levels of albumin during acute renal failure.

Abstract
In mammals, urea is the main nitrogenous breakdown product of protein catabolism and is produced in the liver. In certain tissues, the movement of urea across cell membranes is specifically mediated by a group of proteins known as the SLC14A family of facilitative urea transporters. These proteins are derived from two distinct genes, UT-A (SLC14A2) and UT-B (SLC14A1). Facilitative urea transporters play an important role in two major physiological processes - urinary concentration and urea nitrogen salvaging. Although UT-A and UT-B transporters both have a similar basic structure and mediate the transport of urea in a facilitative manner, there are a number of significant differences between them. UT-A transporters are mainly found in the kidney, are highly specific for urea, have relatively lower transport rates and are highly regulated at both gene expression and cellular localization levels. In contrast, UT-B transporters are more widespread in their tissue location, transport both urea and water, have a relatively high transport rate, are inhibited by mercurial compounds and currently appear to be less acutely regulated. This review details the fundamental research that has so far been performed to investigate the function and physiological significance of these two types of urea transporters.

Abstract
Renal tubular potassium (K(+)) channels play important roles in the formation of cell-negative potential, K(+) recycling, K(+) secretion, and cell volume regulation. In addition to these physiological roles, it was reported that changes in the activity of renal tubular K(+) channels were involved in exacerbation of renal cell injury during ischemia and endotoxemia. Because ischemia and endotoxemia stimulate production of cytokines in immune cells and renal tubular cells, it is possible that cytokines would affect K(+) channel activity. Although the regulatory mechanisms of renal tubular K(+) channels have extensively been studied, little information is available about the effects of cytokines on these K(+) channels. The first report was that tumor necrosis factor acutely stimulated the single channel activity of the 70 pS K(+) channel in the rat thick ascending limb through activation of tyrosine phosphatase. Recently, it was also reported that interferon-γ (IFN-γ) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) modulated the activity of the 40 pS K(+) channel in cultured human proximal tubule cells. IFN-γ exhibited a delayed suppression and an acute stimulation of K(+) channel activity, whereas IL-1β acutely suppressed the channel activity. Furthermore, these cytokines suppressed gene expression of the renal outer medullary potassium channel. The renal tubular K(+) channels are functionally coupled to the coexisting transporters. Therefore, the effects of cytokines on renal tubular transporter activity should also be taken into account, when interpreting their effects on K(+) channel activity.

Abstract
We review the current literature on the molecular mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of acute kidney injury induced by plasma mediators released by mechanical ventilation. A comprehensive literature search in the PubMed database was performed and articles were identified that showed increased plasma levels of mediators where the increase was solely attributable to mechanical ventilation. A subsequent search revealed articles delineating the potential effects of each mediator on the kidney or kidney cells. Limited research has focused specifically on the relationship between mechanical ventilation and acute kidney injury. Only a limited number of plasma mediators has been implicated in mechanical ventilation-associated acute kidney injury. The number of mediators released during mechanical ventilation is far greater and includes pro- and anti-inflammatory mediators, but also mediators involved in coagulation, fibrinolysis, cell adhesion, apoptosis and cell growth. The potential effects of these mediators is pleiotropic and include effects on inflammation, cell recruitment, adhesion and infiltration, apoptosis and necrosis, vasoactivity, cell proliferation, coagulation and fibrinolysis, transporter regulation, lipid metabolism and cell signaling. Most research has focused on inflammatory and chemotactic mediators. There is a great disparity of knowledge of potential effects on the kidney between different mediators. From a theoretical point of view, the systemic release of several mediators induced by mechanical ventilation may play an important role in the pathophysiology of acute kidney injury. However, evidence supporting a causal relationship is lacking for the studied mediators.

Abstract
Urea transport proteins were initially proposed to exist in the kidney in the late 1980s when studies of urea permeability revealed values in excess of those predicted by simple lipid-phase diffusion and paracellular transport. Less than a decade later, the first urea transporter was cloned. Currently, the SLC14A family of urea transporters contains two major subgroups: SLC14A1, the UT-B urea transporter originally isolated from erythrocytes; and SLC14A2, the UT-A group with six distinct isoforms described to date. In the kidney, UT-A1 and UT-A3 are found in the inner medullary collecting duct; UT-A2 is located in the thin descending limb, and UT-B is located primarily in the descending vasa recta; all are glycoproteins. These transporters are crucial to the kidney's ability to concentrate urine. UT-A1 and UT-A3 are acutely regulated by vasopressin. UT-A1 has also been shown to be regulated by hypertonicity, angiotensin II, and oxytocin. Acute regulation of these transporters is through phosphorylation. Both UT-A1 and UT-A3 rapidly accumulate in the plasma membrane in response to stimulation by vasopressin or hypertonicity. Long-term regulation involves altering protein abundance in response to changes in hydration status, low protein diets, adrenal steroids, sustained diuresis, or antidiuresis. Urea transporters have been studied using animal models of disease including diabetes mellitus, lithium intoxication, hypertension, and nephrotoxic drug responses. Exciting new animal models are being developed to study these transporters and search for active urea transporters. Here we introduce urea and describe the current knowledge of the urea transporter proteins, their regulation, and their role in the kidney.

Abstract
While the fractional excretion of solutes have long been considered excellent research tools to investigate tubular physiology, their clinical use has become common over the last 40 years in the diagnoses of many disorders; however, none have reached the clinical utility of the fractional excretion of sodium in the ability to distinguish pre-renal azotemia from acute tubular necrosis. Nevertheless, there are many drugs and medical conditions that interfere with that utility and recently other solutes, including urea, uric acid and lithium, have been recently investigated to improve the diagnostic ability in clinical situations where the fractional excretion of sodium is known to be unreliable. We review the tubular physiology of these solutes and show how the differences in tubular physiology might be exploited to develop a strategy for their optimal clinical use.

Abstract
Introduction A pro-apoptotic effect of circulating mediators on renal tubular epithelial cells has been involved in the pathogenesis of sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (AKI). Adsorption techniques have been showed to efficiently remove inflammatory cytokines from plasma. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of the hydrophobic resin Amberchrom CG161 M to adsorb from septic plasma soluble mediators involved in tubular injury. Methods We enrolled in the study 10 critically ill patients with sepsis-associated AKI and we evaluated the effects of their plasma on granulocyte adhesion, apoptosis and functional alterations of cultured human kidney tubular epithelial cells. We established an in vitro model of plasma adsorption and we studied the protective effect of unselective removal of soluble mediators by the Amberchrom CG161 M resin on septic plasma-induced tubular cell injury. Results Plasma from septic patients induced granulocyte adhesion, apoptosis and altered polarity in tubular cells. Plasma adsorption significantly decreased these effects and abated the concentrations of several soluble mediators. The inhibition of granulocyte adhesion to tubular cells was associated with the down-regulation of ICAM-1 and CD40. Resin adsorption inhibited tubular cell apoptosis induced by septic plasma by down-regulating the activation of caspase-3, 8, 9 and of Fas/death receptor-mediated signalling pathways. The alteration of cell polarity, morphogenesis, protein reabsorption and the down-regulation of the tight junction molecule ZO-1, of the sodium transporter NHE3, of the glucose transporter GLUT-2 and of the endocytic receptor megalin all induced by septic plasma were significantly reduced by resin adsorption. Conclusions Septic plasma induced a direct injury of tubular cells by favouring granulocyte adhesion, by inducing cell apoptosis and by altering cell polarity and function. All these biological effects are related to the presence of circulating inflammatory mediators that can be efficiently removed by resin adsorption with a consequent limitation of tubular cell injury.

Abstract
Acute renal failure (ARF) is frequently associated with polyuria and urine concentration defects and it is a severe complication of sepsis because it increases the mortality rate. Inhibition of NF-kappaB activation has been suggested to provide a useful strategy for the treatment of septic shock. However, the impact on sepsis-induced ARF is still unclear. Therefore, we examined the effect of pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC) and of small interfering RNA (siRNA) silencing NF-kappaB p50/p105 on sepsis-induced downregulation of vasopressin V(2) receptors and aquaporin (AQP)-2 channels using a cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) mouse model. CLP caused a time-dependent downregulation of renal vasopressin V(2) receptor and of AQP2 expression without alterations in plasma vasopressin levels. Renal activation of NF-kappaB in response to CLP was attenuated by PDTC pretreatment, which also attenuated the downregulation of V(2) receptor and AQP2 expression. Furthermore, a strong nuclear staining for the NF-kappaB p50 subunit throughout the whole kidney in response to CLP was observed. siRNA against NF-kappaB p50 attenuated the CLP-induced nuclear translocation of the p50 subunit and the CLP-induced downregulation of V(2) receptor and AQP2 expression. Additionally, PDTC and siRNA pretreatment inhibited the CLP-induced increase in renal TNF-alpha and IL-1beta concentration and NOS-2 mRNA abundance. Moreover, PDTC and siRNA pretreatment ameliorated CLP-induced hypotension and ARF. Our findings suggest that NF-kappaB activation is of importance for the downregulation of AQP2 channel and vasopressin V(2) receptor expression during sepsis. In addition, our data indicate that NF-kappaB inhibition ameliorates sepsis-induced ARF.
