Front Pediatr 2023; 11:1274435. [PMID: 38027263 PMCID: PMC10667601 DOI: 10.3389/fped.2023.1274435] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/08/2023] [Accepted: 10/19/2023] [Indexed: 12/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is one of the leading causes of end-stage renal disease. In spite of the recent tremendous progress in the understanding of ADPKD pathogenesis, the molecular mechanisms of the disease remain incompletely understood. Considering emerging new targeted therapies for ADPKD, it has become crucial to disclose easily measurable and widely available biomarkers for identifying patients with future rapid disease progression. This review encompasses all the research with a shared goal of identifying promising serum or urine biomarkers for predicting ADPKD progression or response to therapy. The rate of the ADPKD progress varies significantly between patients. The phenotypic variability is only partly explained by the underlying genetic lesion diversity. Considering significant decline in kidney function in ADPKD is not usually evident until at least 50% of the parenchyma has been destroyed, conventional kidney function measures, such as glomerular filtration rate (GFR), are not suitable for monitoring disease progression in ADPKD, particularly in its early stages. Since polycystic kidney enlargement usually precedes the decline in GFR, height-adjusted total kidney volume (ht-TKV) has been accepted as an early biomarker for assessing disease severity in ADPKD patients. However, since measuring ht-TKV is time-consuming and observer-dependent, the identification of a sensitive and quickly measurable biomarker is of a great interest for everyday clinical practice. Throughout the last decade, due to development of proteomic and metabolomic techniques and the enlightenment of multiple molecular pathways involved in the ADPKD pathogenesis, a number of urine and serum protein biomarkers have been investigated in ADPKD patients, some of which seem worth of further exploring. These include copeptin, angiotensinogen, monocyte chemoattractant protein 1, kidney injury molecule-1 and urine-to-plasma urea ratio among many others. The aim of the current review is to provide an overview of all of the published evidence on potentially clinically valuable serum and urine biomarkers that could be used for predicting disease progression or response to therapy in patients with ADPKD. Hopefully, this review will encourage future longitudinal prospective clinical studies evaluating proposed biomarkers as prognostic tools to improve management and outcome of ADPKD patients in everyday clinical practice.

Abstract
We aimed to evaluate the effect of a combination of natural products on parameters related to inflammation, endothelial dysfunction, and oxidative stress in a cohort of familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) patients with Serum Amyloid A amyloidosis, in a non-randomized, 24-week open-label interventional study. Morinda citrifolia (anti-atherosclerotic-AAL), omega-3 (anti-inflammatory-AIC), and extract with Alaskan blueberry (antioxidant-AOL) were given to patients with FMF-related biopsy-proven AA amyloidosis. Patients were >18 years and had proteinuria (>3500 mg/day) but a normal estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). Arterial flow-mediated dilatation (FMD), carotid intima media thickness (CIMT), and serum biomarkers asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA), high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), pentraxin (PTX3), malondialdehyde (MDA), Cu/Zn-superoxide dismutase (Cu/Zn-SOD), and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) were studied at baseline and after 24 weeks of treatment. A total of 67 FMF-related amyloidosis patients (52 male (77.6%); median age 36 years (range 21−66)) were enrolled. At the end of a 24-week treatment period with AAL, AIC, and AOL combination therapy, ADMA, MDA, PTX3, hsCRP, cholesterol, and proteinuria were significantly decreased compared to baseline, while CuZn-SOD, GSH-Px, and FMD levels were significantly increased. Changes in inflammatory markers PTX3, and hsCRP were negatively correlated with FMD change, and positively correlated with decreases in proteinuria, ADMA, MDA, cholesterol, and CIMT. Treatment with AAL, AIC and AOL combination for 24 weeks were significantly associated with reduction in inflammatory markers, improved endothelial functions, and oxidative state. Efficient control of these three mechanisms can have long term cardiovascular and renal benefits for patients with AA amyloidosis.

Bellos I, Kontzoglou K, Perrea DN. Markers of endothelial dysfunction and arterial stiffness in patients with early-stage autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease: A meta-analysis. Int J Clin Pract 2021; 75:e13721. [PMID: 32946652 DOI: 10.1111/ijcp.13721] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/20/2020] [Accepted: 09/11/2020] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is characterised by increased rates of cardiovascular complications leading to significant morbidity and mortality. This meta-analysis aims to evaluate whether the disease is linked to endothelial dysfunction and arterial stiffness during its early stages. METHODS Medline, Scopus, CENTRAL, Web of Science, Clinicaltrials.gov and Google Scholar databases comparing ADPKD patients with preserved renal function to healthy controls were included. The outcomes of interest were brachial flow-mediated dilatation, carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity, augmentation index, carotid intima-media thickness and central systolic blood pressure, plasma ADMA or homocysteine levels. Standardised mean differences (SMDs) were estimated by a random-effects model in R-3.6.3. RESULTS A total of 27 studies were included, comprising 1967 individuals. ADPKD was linked to significantly lower flow-mediated dilatation (SMD: -1.44, 95% CI: [-2.35, -0.53]) and higher pulse wave velocity (SMD: 1.44, 95% CI: [0.22, 2.66]) and carotid intima-media thickness (SMD: 1.02, 95% CI: [0.57, 1.47]). No significant associations were noted regarding augmentation index (SMD: 0.62, 95% CI: [-0.19, 1.43]) and central systolic blood pressure (SMD: 1.84, 95% CI: [-0.12, 3.80]). Plasma homocysteine was significantly higher in ADPKD (SMD: 0.81, 95% CI: [0.16, 1.45]), while no difference was calculated for ADMA levels (SMD: 1.14, 95% CI: [-0.25, 2.53]). CONCLUSIONS Early-stage ADPKD patients present increased vascular stiffness and endothelial dysfunction, as reflected by low flow-mediated dilatation and elevated values of pulse wave velocity, carotid intima-media thickness and plasma homocysteine. The exact effects of early arterial stiffness on long-term outcomes remain to be elucidated.

Dialysate copeptin and peritoneal transport in incident peritoneal dialysis patients. Int Urol Nephrol 2019; 51:1667-1673. [PMID: 31187425 PMCID: PMC6713692 DOI: 10.1007/s11255-019-02191-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/12/2019] [Accepted: 06/04/2019] [Indexed: 01/17/2023]
Abstract
Purpose Systemic and intraperitoneal inflammation are characteristic features of patients with end-stage renal disease undergoing chronic peritoneal dialysis (PD). Arginine vasopressin (AVP) and its surrogate marker copeptin play important roles in many pathophysiological processes in chronic kidney disease. The aim of this study was to assess if copeptin concentrations in plasma and dialysate were related to peritoneal transport parameters and residual renal function (RRF) in incident PD patients. Methods In 37 clinically stable incident PD patients (mean age 50 years, 68% women, 32% diabetes), a 4 h peritoneal equilibration test (PET) was performed 4–6 weeks after the onset of PD. Plasma (at 2 h of PET) and dialysate (at 4 h) concentrations of copeptin, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were determined. Results Plasma (80.7 ± 37.3 pg/mL) and dialysate (33.2 ± 18.0 pg/mL) concentrations of copeptin were correlated (Rs = 0.52, p = 0.001). Plasma and dialysate copeptin concentrations were negatively correlated with renal function as assessed by renal Kt/V (Rs = − 0.38; p = 0.021 and Rs = − 0.33; p = 0.047, respectively). At PET, dialysate copeptin negatively correlated with D/P creatinine (Rs = − 0.35, p = 0.033), and positively with D/D0 glucose (Rs = 0.33, p = 0.045) and ultrafiltration (Rs = 0.37, p = 0.024). Multivariate analysis showed that low dialysate copeptin (β = –0.30, p = 0.049) and high dialysate IL-6 (β = + 0.40, p = 0.012) were independent determinants of higher D/P creatinine. Conclusions Dialysate copeptin was negatively associated with D/P creatinine in incident PD patients suggesting a potential influence of copeptin or AVP on peritoneal solute transport rate that might involve vasoactive mechanisms.

Heart failure and inflammation-related biomarkers as predictors of new-onset diabetes in the general population. Int J Cardiol 2017; 250:188-194. [PMID: 29074040 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijcard.2017.10.035] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/19/2017] [Revised: 09/15/2017] [Accepted: 10/09/2017] [Indexed: 01/17/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND There is a strong reciprocal relationship between heart failure (HF) and diabetes mellitus (DM). Shared pathophysiological mechanisms might be a possible explanation. Therefore, we hypothesised that biomarkers linked to HF would also predict new-onset type 2 DM in the general population. METHODS AND RESULTS We utilized the Prevention of Vascular and Renal End-stage Disease (PREVEND) cohort (mean age 48.9years, 51% female) to study the relationship between HF and DM in 7953 participants free of baseline HF and DM. Multiple HF-related, inflammation-related and renal function-related biomarkers were evaluated regarding their predictive utility in new-onset DM. Incidence of DM in participants who developed HF was 11.8%, versus 5.4% in those who had not developed HF (p<0.001). Incidence of HF in participants who developed DM was 8.5%, versus 3.8% in those who had not developed DM (p<0.001). Classical HF biomarkers, NT-proBNP and hs-TnT were not associated with an increased risk for new-onset DM. However, inflammatory biomarkers hs-CRP [hazard ratio (HR) 1.16, (95% CI 1.05 to 1.29), p=0.005], procalcitonin [HR 1.34, (95% CI 1.07 to 1.69), p=0.012] and PAI-1 [HR 1.55, (95% CI 1.37 to 1.75), p<0.001] remained significantly associated with new-onset DM, even after multivariable adjustment for established predictors of DM. CONCLUSIONS Although HF and DM have a strong correlation with each other, systemic biomarkers that predict HF do not have a predictive value in new-onset DM. This suggests that other, indirect, pathophysiological mechanisms related to inflammation may explain their strong relation.
