Abstract
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) also known as diabetic kidney disease, is a major microvascular complication of diabetes and a leading cause of end‑stage renal disease (ESRD), which affects the morbidity and mortality of patients with diabetes. Despite advancements in diabetes care, current diagnostic methods, such as the determination of albuminuria and the estimated glomerular filtration rate, are limited in sensitivity and specificity, often only identifying kidney damage after considerable morphological changes. The present review discusses the potential of metabolomics as an approach for the early detection and management of DN. Metabolomics is the study of metabolites, the small molecules produced by cellular processes, and may provide a more sensitive and specific diagnostic tool compared with traditional methods. For the purposes of this review, a systematic search was conducted on PubMed and Google Scholar for recent human studies published between 2011 and 2023 that used metabolomics in the diagnosis of DN. Metabolomics has demonstrated potential in identifying metabolic biomarkers specific to DN. The ability to detect a broad spectrum of metabolites with high sensitivity and specificity may allow for earlier diagnosis and better management of patients with DN, potentially reducing the progression to ESRD. Furthermore, metabolomics pathway analysis assesses the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying DN. On the whole, metabolomics is a potential tool in the diagnosis and management of DN. By providing a more in‑depth understanding of metabolic alterations associated with DN, metabolomics could significantly improve early detection, enable timely interventions and reduce the healthcare burdens associated with this condition.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The comparative effects of specific blood pressure (BP) lowering treatments on patient-important outcomes following kidney transplantation are uncertain. Our 2009 Cochrane review found that calcium channel blockers (CCBs) improved graft function and prevented graft loss, while the evidence for other BP-lowering treatments was limited. This is an update of the 2009 Cochrane review. OBJECTIVES To compare the benefits and harms of different classes and combinations of antihypertensive drugs in kidney transplant recipients. SEARCH METHODS We contacted the Information Specialist and searched the Cochrane Kidney and Transplant Register of Studies up to 3 July 2024 using search terms relevant to this review. Studies in the Register were identified through searches of CENTRAL, MEDLINE, EMBASE, conference proceedings, the International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (ICTRP) Search Portal, and ClinicalTrials.gov. SELECTION CRITERIA Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) and quasi-RCTs evaluating any BP-lowering agent in recipients of a functioning kidney transplant for at least two weeks were eligible. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Two authors independently assessed the risks of bias and extracted data. Treatment estimates were summarised using the random-effects model and expressed as relative risk (RR) or mean difference (MD) with 95% confidence intervals (CI). Evidence certainty was assessed using Grades of Recommendation, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) processes. The primary outcomes included all-cause death, graft loss, and kidney function. MAIN RESULTS Ninety-seven studies (8706 participants) were included. One study evaluated treatment in children. The overall risk of bias was unclear to high across all domains. Compared to placebo or standard care alone, CCBs probably reduce all-cause death (23 studies, 3327 participants: RR 0.83, 95% CI 0.72 to 0.95; I2 = 0%; moderate certainty evidence) and graft loss (24 studies, 3577 participants: RR 0.84, 95% CI 0.75 to 0.95; I2 = 0%; moderate certainty evidence). CCBs may make little or no difference to estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) (11 studies, 2250 participants: MD 1.89 mL/min/1.73 m2, 95% CI -0.70 to 4.48; I2 = 48%; low certainty evidence) and acute rejection (13 studies, 906 participants: RR 10.8, 95% CI 0.85 to 1.35; I2 = 0%; moderate certainty evidence). CCBs may reduce systolic BP (SBP) (3 studies, 329 participants: MD -5.83 mm Hg, 95% CI -10.24 to -1.42; I2 = 13%; low certainty evidence) and diastolic BP (DBP) (3 studies, 329 participants: MD -3.98 mm Hg, 95% CI -5.98 to -1.99; I2 = 0%; low certainty evidence). CCBs have uncertain effects on proteinuria. Compared to placebo or standard care alone, angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitors (ACEi) may make little or no difference to all-cause death (7 studies, 702 participants: RR 1.13, 95% CI 0.58 to 2.21; I2 = 0%; low certainty evidence), graft loss (6 studies, 718 participants: RR 0.75, 95% CI 0.49 to 1.13; I2 = 0%; low certainty evidence), eGFR (4 studies, 509 participants: MD -2.46 mL/min/1.73 m2, 95% CI -7.66 to 2.73; I2 = 64%; low certainty evidence) and acute rejection (4 studies, 388 participants: RR 1.75, 95% CI 0.76 to 4.04; I2 = 0%; low certainty evidence). ACEi may reduce proteinuria (5 studies, 441 participants: MD -0.33 g/24 hours, 95% CI -0.64 to -0.01; I2 = 67%; low certainty evidence) but had uncertain effects on SBP and DBP. Compared to placebo or standard care alone, angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB) may make little or no difference to all-cause death (6 studies, 1041 participants: RR 0.69, 95% CI 0.36 to 1.31; I2 = 0%; low certainty evidence), eGRF (5 studies, 300 participants: MD -1.91 mL/min/1.73 m2, 95% CI -6.20 to 2.38; I2 = 57%; low certainty evidence), and acute rejection (4 studies, 323 participants: RR 1.00, 95% CI 0.44 to 2.29; I2 = 0%; low certainty evidence). ARBs may reduce graft loss (6 studies, 892 participants: RR 0.35, 95% CI 0.15 to 0.84; I2 = 0%; low certainty evidence), SBP (10 studies, 1239 participants: MD -3.73 mm Hg, 95% CI -7.02 to -0.44; I2 = 63%; moderate certainty evidence) and DBP (9 studies, 1086 participants: MD -2.75 mm Hg, 95% CI -4.32 to -1.18; I2 = 47%; moderate certainty evidence), but has uncertain effects on proteinuria. The effects of CCBs, ACEi or ARB compared to placebo or standard care alone on cardiovascular outcomes (including fatal or nonfatal myocardial infarction, fatal or nonfatal stroke) or other adverse events were uncertain. The comparative effects of ACEi plus ARB dual therapy, alpha-blockers, and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists compared to placebo or standard care alone were rarely evaluated. Head-to-head comparisons of ACEi, ARB or thiazide versus CCB, ACEi versus ARB, CCB or ACEi versus alpha- or beta-blockers, or ACEi plus CCB dual therapy versus ACEi or CCB monotherapy were scarce. No studies reported outcome data for cancer or life participation. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS For kidney transplant recipients, the use of CCB therapy to reduce BP probably reduces death and graft loss compared to placebo or standard care alone, while ARB may reduce graft loss. The effects of ACEi and ARB compared to placebo or standard care on other patient-centred outcomes were uncertain. The effects of dual therapy, alpha-blockers, and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists compared to placebo or standard care alone and the comparative effects of different treatments were uncertain.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Close monitoring of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is essential for the management of patients post kidney transplantation. Measured GFR (mGFR), the gold standard, is not readily accessible in most centers. Furthermore, the performance of new estimated GFR (eGFR) equations based upon creatinine and/or cystatin C have not been validated in kidney transplant patients. Here we evaluate a recently published eGFR equation using cystatin C, creatinine, myo-inositol and valine as measured by nuclear magnetic resonance (eGFRNMR). METHODS Residual sera was obtained from a cohort of patients with clinically ordered iothalamate renal clearance mGFR (n = 602). Kidney transplant recipients accounted for 220 (37%) of participants. RESULTS Compared to mGFR, there was no significant bias for eGFRcr or eGFRNMR, while eGFRcr-cys significantly underestimated mGFR. P30 values were similar for all eGFR. P15 was significantly higher for eGFRNMR compared to eGFRcr, while the P15 for eGFRcr-cys only improved among patients without a kidney transplant. Agreement with mGFR CKD stages of <15, 30, 45, 60, and 90 ml/min/1.73 m2 was identical for eGFRcr and eGFRcr-cys (61.8%, both cases) while eGFRNMR was significantly higher (66.4%) among patients with a kidney transplant. CONCLUSION The 2021 CKD-EPI eGFRcr and eGFRcr-cys have similar bias, P15, and agreement while eGFRNMR more closely matched mGFR with the strongest improvement among kidney transplant recipients.

Abstract
The accurate assessment of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is important in the follow-up of kidney transplant recipients in order to identify graft dysfunction. A number of formulas have been proposed to calculate GFR from endogenous plasma markers such as creatinine or cystatin C since measuring GFR using exogenous markers is troublesome. This study compares and evaluates the ability of four different GFR formulas to estimate kidney graft function and to detect changes in GFR in kidney transplant recipients. The study included patients from the prospective, multicenter CONTEXT trial in kidney transplant recipients. GFR was measured using plasma clearance of 51Cr-EDTA and estimated using the MDRD, CKD-EPI Creatinine, CKD-EPI Cystatin C and CKD-EPI Cystatin C + Creatinine equations at three (n = 83) and twelve (n = 65) months post-transplantation. For each formula mean bias, precision, and accuracy were evaluated. The MDRD equation had the lowest mean bias (0.2 ml/min/1.73 m2), whereas the CKD-EPI Cystatin C + Creatinine equation had the highest precision (8 ml/min/1.73 m2). Accuracy at three months were similar for all equations (P30 > 80%) except for the CKD-EPI Cystatin C equation, which performed poorer (P30 = 55%). None of the formulas evaluated avoided misclassification of changes in GFR. The most optimal combination of precision and accuracy suggests the use of CKD-EPI Creatinine + Cystatin C equation in kidney transplant recipients.

Abstract
Pharmacists are at the forefront of dosing and monitoring medications eliminated by or toxic to the kidney. To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of these medications, accurate measurement of kidney function is paramount. The mainstay of kidney assessment for drug dosing and monitoring is serum creatinine (SCr)-based estimation equations. Yet, SCr has known limitations including its insensitivity to underlying changes in kidney function and the numerous non-kidney factors that are incompletely accounted for in equations to estimate glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). Serum cystatin C (cysC) is a biomarker that can serve as an adjunct or alternative to SCr to evaluate kidney function for drug dosing. Pharmacists must be educated about the strengths and limitations of cysC prior to applying it to medication management. Not all patient populations have been studied and some evaluations demonstrated large variations in the relationship between cysC and GFR. Use of eGFR equations incorporating cysC should be reserved for drug management in scenarios with demonstrated outcomes, including to improve pharmacodynamic target attainment for antibiotics or reduce drug toxicity. This article provides an overview of cysC, discusses evidence around its use in medication dosing and in special populations, and describes practical considerations for application and implementation.

Comparison of MDRD and the old CKD-EPI equations with the new CKD-EPI equations in kidney transplant patients when glomerular filtration rate is measured with 51Cr-EDTA. Nefrologia 2019; 40:53-64. [PMID: 31843209 DOI: 10.1016/j.nefro.2019.07.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/02/2017] [Revised: 07/01/2019] [Accepted: 07/15/2019] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND When estimating the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in kidney transplant patients, significant differences have been found between MDRD and the 2009 CKD-EPI equations, and reference techniques. OBJECTIVE To analyse and compare the performance of MDRD and the 2009 and 2012 CKD-EPI equations against 51Cr-EDTA plasma clearance in measuring GFR in 270 kidney transplant patients after one year. RESULTS The mean measured GFR was 43.0±11.4 (18.2-79.4)ml/min/1.73m2, with creatinine levels of 1.42±0.46 (0.60-4.33)mg/dl and cystatin C levels of 1.45±0.53 (0.42-3.48)mg/l. This correlated moderately with creatinine (r=-0.61, P<.001) and cystatin C (r=-0.52, P<.001). Using linear regression techniques, it was found that creatinine, cystatin C, gender and age only explained 52% of GFR total variance. All equations overestimated GFR, with a mean bias of +11.1ml/min/1.73m2 for MDRD, +16.4ml/min/1.73m2 for 2009-CKD-EPI, +15ml/min/1.73m2 for CKD-EPI with cystatin C, and +14.1ml/min/1.73m2 for 2012-CKD-EPI with creatinine and cystatin C. eGFR by MDRD and the 2009 CKD-EPI equation correlated better with 51Cr-EDTA than CKD-EPI with creatinine and/or cystatin C. The overestimations were negatively correlated with creatinine and cystatin C levels, most significantly for CKD-EPI with creatinine and/or cystatin C when GFR was greater than 60ml/min/1.73m2. CONCLUSIONS The 2012 CKD-EPI equations with creatinine and/or cystatin C significantly overestimate GFR in stage 1 and 2 chronic kidney disease. The MDRD equations is therefore recommended in these cases. The reference method used to measure GFR seems to heavily influence the bias of the equations.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the correlation between blood concentrations of tacrolimus (FK506) and cystatin C (Cys C) and the effect of FK506 on glycolipid metabolism in renal transplant recipients. METHODS A total of 325 patients receiving renal transplantation between August, 2014 and September, 2015 in Nanfang Hospital were divided into 4 groups according to the postoperative time (1 month group, 1-3 months group, 4-6 months group, and 7-12 months group). FK506 blood trough concentration was measured at the time of postoperative follow-up, and creatinine (Scr) and Cys C levels were also detected. Results Plasma FK506 concentration decreased with age in the recipients and showed a positive correlation with Cys C (r=0.985, P=0.015) but no obvious correlation with Scr (r=0.259, P=0.741). FK506 had no effect on blood glucose (5.53-5.59 mmol<L) or blood lipids (TG 1.47-1.55 mmol<L, TC 5.04-5.17 mmol<L, LDL-C 3.00-3.07 mmol<L, and VLDL 0.73-0.76 mmol<L) in patients 1-6 months after renal transplantation. CONCLUSION FK506 does not affect the level of glycolipid metabolism in patients after renal transplantation. Cys C is positively related to blood concentration of FK506 in the renal transplantation recipients. The rational use of FK506 can improve the effectiveness and safety of the treatment in the recipients.

Abstract
Background The performance of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) have been proved to vary according to the races of the target population. The eGFR equations have not been validated in the Chinese cancer population received chemotherapy. Meanwhile, serum cystatin C (CysC), urea, β2 microglobulin (β2-MG), and creatinine (SCr) were also evaluated in a cohort of Chinese cancer patients. Material/Methods A total of 1000 cancer patients undergoing combination chemotherapy and 108 healthy volunteers were included in this study, and their renal function parameters were evaluated. The eGFR values were compared with reference GFR (rGFR) according to correlation, consistency, precision, and accuracy. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to evaluate the discriminating ability of the GFR equations and serological indicators of renal function. Results (1) The equations contained CysC had the same varying tendency as rGFR in relation to the chemotherapeutic cycle. (2) eGFRscr+cysc and eGFRChinese scr+cysc worked better than the other equations, as indicated by a stronger correlation, less bias, improved precision, higher accuracy, and greater AUC. (3) CysC was more sensitive than the other serological indicators for identifying early renal injury. (4) Each parameter showed different characteristics in subgroups of Chinese cancer patients. Conclusions CysC was the most sensitive marker for early renal injury. Among the 8 most commonly used eGFR equations, the combination equation eGFRscr+cysc and eGFRChinese scr+cysc exhibited the best performance in the assessment of the renal function of Chinese cancer patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Serum cystatin C, a novel marker of renal function has been shown to be superior to serum creatinine in predicting renal function decline and adverse outcomes of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Our aim was to investigate the association between cystatin C and retinopathy in adults without diabetes. METHODS We examined 1725 Indian adults, aged 40-80 years who participated in the Singapore Indian Eye Study (2007-2009) and were free of diabetes mellitus. CKD was defined as an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <60 ml/min/1.73 m(2) determined from serum cystatin C (CKD-eGFRcys, n = 199), and serum creatinine (CKD-eGFRcr, n = 81). Retinopathy was assessed from digital fundus photographs of both eyes by trained graders using the modified Airlie House classification. The associations of CKD defined by the two markers alone and in combination (confirmed CKD, eGFRcr <60 and eGFRcys <60, n = 58) with retinopathy were examined using logistic regression models adjusted for potential confounding factors including preexisting cardiovascular disease and albuminuria. RESULTS The prevalence of retinopathy among those with CKD-eGFRcr and CKD-eGFRcys was 9.9% and 8.5%, respectively. In separate models, the associations of retinopathy with both CKD-eGFRcys (odds ratio (OR) (95% confidence interval (CI)) = 2.18 (1.14-4.16)) and CKD-eGFRcr were significant (OR (95% CI) = 2.63 (1.10-6.28)). In models including both markers, compared to optimal kidney function (eGFRcr ≥60 and eGFRcys ≥60), confirmed CKD was associated with a fourfold higher odds of retinopathy (OR (95% CI) = 4.01 (1.52-10.60)). CONCLUSIONS In a population-based sample of Indian adults without diabetes, CKD defined by both cystatin C and creatinine was strongly associated with retinopathy.
