Effect of Ultrasound-Guided Renal Biopsies on Urinary N-Acetyl-Beta-D-Glucosaminidase Index Activity in Dogs with Diffuse Parenchymal Nephropathies. Life (Basel) 2024; 14:867. [PMID: 39063620 PMCID: PMC11278122 DOI: 10.3390/life14070867] [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: 04/01/2024] [Revised: 07/06/2024] [Accepted: 07/07/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Ultrasound-guided kidney biopsy is an essential diagnostics method that can increase the accuracy of the differential diagnosis between acute and chronic nephropathies. In addition, it will help clinicians perform an etiologic diagnosis, issue a prognosis, and orient therapy for the majority of parenchymal nephropathies. Due to the relative invasiveness and potential adverse effects, the use of kidney biopsies is limited among practitioners. RESULTS Twenty-eight dogs, of mixed breed and variable ages, of which 11 (39, 29%) were males and 17 (60, 71%) were females, were examined and underwent an ultrasound-guided kidney biopsy to establish a definitive diagnosis. The patients were presented with a variety of diffuse nephropathies, such as kidney lymphoma: 1 (3.57%), glomerulonephritis: 13 (46.43%), tubulointerstitial nephritis: 11 (39.29%), and nephrocalcinosis. A total of 3 (10.71%) of 18 (64.29%) were in acute kidney injury, and 10 (35.71%) were CKD patients. The type and the severity of the kidney lesions were correlated with changes in the urinary n-acetyl-beta-d-glucosaminidase index (iNAG. To quantify the side effects of percutaneous kidney biopsy, the magnitude of post-biopsy hematuria and changes in urinary iNAG activity were evaluated. The results indicate a significant post-biopsy increase in the urinary iNAG activity in all the patients that underwent this procedure (100.08 ± 34.45 U/g), with a pre-biopsy iNAG vs. 147.65 ± 33.26 U/g post-biopsy iNAG (p < 0.001), suggesting an intensification in the kidney tubular damage that comes consecutives to kidney puncture and sampling. Transitory macro- or microhematuria were constant findings in all the dogs that underwent ultrasound-guided kidney biopsy, but the magnitude and extent could not be associated with the platelet count (PLT 109/L), aPTT (s), and PT (s) levels in our patients, and they were also resolved after 12-24 h without therapeutic interventions. CONCLUSIONS Ultrasound-guided renal biopsy was shown to be a minimally invasive diagnostic procedure that causes transient and limited effects on kidney structures. Although these effects were minor and resolved without intervention, we feel that the benefit of obtaining higher-quality biopsied tissue outweighs the higher risks associated with this procedure.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) in children is a major concern of medical care and public health as it is related to high morbidity and mortality due to progression to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). It is essential to identify patients with a risk of developing CKD to implement therapeutic interventions. Unfortunately, conventional markers of CKD, such as serum creatinine, glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and proteinuria, have many limitations in serving as an early and specific diagnostic tool for this condition. Despite the above, they are still the most frequently utilized as we do not have better. Studies from the last decade identified multiple CKD blood and urine protein biomarkers but mostly assessed the adult population. This article outlines some recent achievements and new perspectives in finding a set of protein biomarkers that might improve our ability to prognose CKD progression in children, monitor the response to treatment, or even become a potential therapeutic target.

Abstract
Proteinuria is an important sign of kidney diseases. Different protein patterns in urine associated with glomerular, tubular and overload proteinuria may be differentiated using the immunochemical detection of indicator proteins or via urinary proteins electrophoresis. Our aim was to characterize sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) using commercially available 4-20% gradient gels as a method to detect and differentiate proteinuria. Our laboratory-based study used excess urine samples collected for routine diagnostic purposes from adult patients of a tertiary-care hospital, including patients with albumin/creatinine < 30 mg/g and patients with dipstick proteinuria. The limit of albumin detection was estimated to be 3 mg/L. In 93 samples with albumin/creatinine < 30 mg/g, an albumin fraction was detected in 87% of samples with a minimum albumin concentration of 2.11 mg/L. The separation of 300 urine samples of patients with proteinuria revealed distinct protein patterns differentiated using the molecular weights of the detected proteins: glomerular (albumin and higher molecular weights) and two types of tubular proteinuria ("upper" ≥20 kDa and "lower" with lower molecular weights). These patterns were associated with different values of the glomerular filtration rate (median 66, 71 and 31 mL/min/1.72 m2, respectively, p = 0.004) and different proportions of multiple myeloma and nephrological diagnoses. As confirmed using tandem mass spectrometry and western blot, the SDS-PAGE protein fractions contained indicator proteins including immunoglobulin G, transferrin (glomerular proteinuria), α1-microglobulin, retinol-binding protein, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin, cystatin C, and β2-microglobulin (tubular), immunoglobulin light chain, myoglobin, and lysozyme (overflow). SDS-PAGE separation of urine proteins on commercially available 4-20% gradient gels is a reliable technique to diagnose proteinuria and differentiate between its main clinically relevant types.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a syndrome that entails a rapid decline in kidney function with or without injury. The consequences of AKI among acutely ill patients are dire and lead to higher mortality, morbidity, and healthcare cost. To prevent AKI and its short and long-term repercussions, understanding its pathophysiology is essential. Depending on the baseline kidney histology and function reserves, the number of kidney insults, and the intensity of each insult, the clinical presentation of AKI may differ. While many factors are capable of inducing renal injury, they can be categorized into a few processes. The three primary processes reported in the literature are hemodynamic changes, inflammatory reactions, and nephrotoxicity. The majority of patients with AKI will suffer from more than one during their development and/or progression of AKI. Moreover, the development of one usually leads to the instigation of another. Thus, the interactions and progression between these mechanisms may determine the severity and duration of the AKI. Other factors such as organ crosstalk and how our concurrent therapies interact with these mechanisms complicate the pathophysiology of the progression of the AKI even further. In this narrative review article, we describe these three main pathophysiological processes that lead to the development and progression of AKI. © 2022 American Physiological Society.

Abstract
Kidney involvement is a common complication during SARS-CoV-2 infection. Its association with poor outcomes, especially in critically ill patients, raises issues whether kidney involvement reflects multi-organ damage or if it is a specific feature of the infection. Based on observational studies, autopsy series, and on current understanding of the route of entry of the virus, this review will highlight the different types of kidney involvement during COVID-19 and put them in the perspective of the different pathophysiological hypotheses. Virus entry route through ACE2 ligation and TMPRSS2 coligation allows identifying potential viral targets in the kidney, including tubules, endothelial cells, and glomerulus. While reports have described damages of all these structures and virus kidney tropism has been identified in renal extracts in autopsy series, no direct viral infection has been found in the latter structures thus far on kidney biopsies. Notwithstanding the technical challenge of disclosing viral invasion within tissues and cells, viral direct cytopathogenic effect generally does not appear as the cause of the observed renal damage. Inflammation and altered hemodynamics, described as "viral sepsis," might rather be responsible for organ dysfunction, including kidneys. We shall place these various mechanisms into an integrated vision where the synergy between direct viral pathogenicity and systemic inflammation enhances renal damage. As SARS-CoV-2 inexorably continues its rampant spread, understanding the sequence of events in the kidneys might thus help inform improved therapeutic strategies, including antiviral drugs and immunomodulators.

Abstract
Background: Utilization of renal biomarkers such as neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin in the management of acute kidney injury may be useful as a diagnostic tool in the emergency department. Objective: The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between serum neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin level and the severity of the acute kidney injury based on the Risk, Injury, Failure, Loss of kidney function, and End-stage kidney disease (RIFLE) classification, and to investigate the role of the serum neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin level in differentiating the etiology and predicting the 30-day mortality rate and need for dialysis. Methods: This prospective, observational study was conducted from March 2015 to 2016. Adult patients with acute kidney injury in the emergency department were enrolled in the study. Demographic and clinical features such as hypovolemic state, nephrotoxic substance exposure, renal functions, and serum neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin level were evaluated. After the etiology of the acute kidney injury was ascertained, the severity of the acute kidney injury was determined according to RIFLE criteria. Primary outcome was defined as the correlation between serum neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin level and the severity of the acute kidney injury according to RIFLE classification. Secondary outcomes were defined as the relationship between the serum neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin level and the etiology of the acute kidney injury; need for dialysis and 30-day mortality were defined as poor outcomes. Results: A total of 87 patients were included in the study. Mean serum neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin levels were 380.14 ± 276.65 ng/mL in RIFLE-R, 425.80 ± 278.99 ng/mL in RIFLE-I, and 403.60 ± 293.15 ng/mL in RIFLE-F groups. There was no statistically significant relationship between the severity of acute kidney injuries and serum neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin level. Initial serum neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin levels in the emergency department did not indicate a statistically significant ability to predict the etiology of acute kidney injury, 30-day mortality rates, or need for dialysis. Conclusion: Initial serum neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin level in the emergency department is not a determinant tool for predicting the severity, etiology, 30-day mortality rates, or need for dialysis in cases of acute kidney injuries.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Deliberate self-poisoning with a combination washing powder containing oxalic acid (H2C2O4) and potassium permanganate (KMnO4) is a significant medical problem in the Southern Province of Sri Lanka. Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequent consequence. Biomarkers for early diagnosis of nephrotoxicity could guide appropriate supportive therapies. METHODS We investigated the performance of three serum biomarkers and nine urinary biomarkers in 85 patients in an ongoing multicenter prospective cohort study in Sri Lanka exploring AKI following poisoning. RESULTS Sixty two (62/85, 73%) patients developed AKI (acute kidney injury network, AKIN, criteria). Early and rapid increases in serum creatinine (sCr) peaking on day 3 were observed in AKIN stage 2 and 3 patients. In these patients, serum cystatin C (sCysC) rose more gradually but also peaked on day 3. Biomarker concentrations (normalized to urinary creatinine) of urinary albumin (uAlbumin), clusterin (uClusterin), beta-2-microglobulin (uB2M), osteopontin (uOPN), neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (uNGAL) and kidney injury molecule-1 (uKIM-1) in the AKIN2/3 group increased above the 95th centile concentration of the healthy population. Within 8 h of ingestion, the normalized uAlbumin and sCysC predicted AKIN2/3 with respective area under receiver operating characteristic curve, AUC-ROC values, of 0.94 (95% CI 0.86-1.00) and 0.85 (95% CI 0.76-0.95). CONCLUSIONS Urinary albumin was the best performing AKI biomarker following ingestion of H2C2O4/KMnO4. This may reflect glomerular injury and/or proximal tubular injury. The urinary albumin concentrations observed in this study could generally be detected using albumin specific dipstick methods, easily available even in resource poor settings.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a syndrome which has a broad range of etiologic factors depending on different clinical settings. Because AKI has significant impacts on prognosis in any clinical settings, early detection and intervention is necessary to improve the outcomes of AKI patients. This clinical guideline for AKI was developed by a multidisciplinary approach with nephrology, intensive care medicine, blood purification, and pediatrics. Of note, clinical practice for AKI management which was widely performed in Japan was also evaluated with comprehensive literature search.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a syndrome which has a broad range of etiologic factors depending on different clinical settings. Because AKI has significant impacts on prognosis in any clinical settings, early detection and intervention are necessary to improve the outcomes of AKI patients. This clinical guideline for AKI was developed by a multidisciplinary approach with nephrology, intensive care medicine, blood purification, and pediatrics. Of note, clinical practice for AKI management which was widely performed in Japan was also evaluated with comprehensive literature search.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has become a significant public health concern, as it is associated with substantial morbidity. Prior research has evaluated multiple novel CKD biomarkers to supplement serum creatinine and proteinuria. The ultimate goal of this research is to find biomarkers that can be used to accurately predict CKD progression and to better time outpatient follow-up, and referral for transplant. Also, an optimal panel of biomarkers can augment the predictive value of proteinuria and serum creatinine by enriching patient enrollment in clinical trials. In this review, we discuss salient findings on 12 candidate plasma and urine biomarkers and their reported association with CKD. We explore the common pathways of CKD progression and the pathophysiologic processes of tubulointerstitial injury, inflammation, repair, and fibrosis that are potentially classified by specific biomarkers. We describe both pediatric and adult findings and highlight the paucity of pediatric research in CKD progression. It will be important for cohorts with longitudinal follow-up to evaluate these CKD biomarkers for potential use in pediatric clinical trials and routine CKD management.

Correlation of Impedance Threshold Device use during cardiopulmonary resuscitation with post-cardiac arrest Acute Kidney Injury. Am J Emerg Med 2017; 35:846-854. [PMID: 28131602 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajem.2017.01.040] [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: 12/11/2016] [Revised: 01/16/2017] [Accepted: 01/21/2017] [Indexed: 11/28/2022] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE To assess whether use of Impedance Threshold Device (ITD) during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) reduces the degree of post-cardiac arrest Acute Kidney Injury (AKI), as a result of improved hemodynamics, in a porcine model of ventricular fibrillation (VF) cardiac arrest. METHODS After 8 min of untreated cardiac arrest, the animals were resuscitated either with active compression-decompression (ACD) CPR plus a sham ITD (control group, n=8) or with ACD-CPR plus an active ITD (ITD group, n=8). Adrenaline was administered every 4 min and electrical defibrillation was attempted every 2 min until return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) or asystole. After ROSC the animals were monitored for 6 h under general anesthesia and then returned to their cages for a 48 h observation, before euthanasia. Two novel biomarkers, Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin (NGAL) in plasma and Interleukin-18 (IL-18) in urine, were measured at 2 h, 4 h, 6 h, 24 h and 48 h post-ROSC, in order to assess the degree of AKI. RESULTS ROSC was observed in 7 (87.5%) animals treated with the sham valve and 8 (100%) animals treated with the active valve (P=NS). However, more than twice as many animals survived at 48 h in the ITD group (n=8, 100%) compared to the control group (n=3, 37.5%). Urine IL-18 and plasma NGAL levels were augmented post-ROSC in both groups, but they were significantly higher in the control group compared with the ITD group, at all measured time points. CONCLUSION Use of ITD during ACD-CPR improved hemodynamic parameters, increased 48 h survival and decreased the degree of post-cardiac arrest AKI in the resuscitated animals.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although stored urine samples are often used in biomarker studies focused on acute and chronic kidney disease, how storage time impacts biomarker levels is not well understood. METHODS 866 subjects enrolled in the NIDDK-sponsored ASsessment, Serial Evaluation, and Subsequent Sequelae in Acute Kidney Injury (ASSESS-AKI) Study were included. Samples were processed under standard conditions and stored at -70°C until analyzed. Kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1), neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), interleukin-18 (IL-18), and liver fatty acid binding protein (L-FABP) were measured in urine samples collected during the index hospitalization or an outpatient visit 3 months later. Mixed effects models were used to determine the effect of storage time on biomarker levels and stratified by visit. RESULTS Median storage was 17.8 months (25-75% IQR 10.6-23.7) for samples from the index hospitalization and 14.6 months (IQR 7.3-20.4) for outpatient samples. In the mixed effects models, the only significant association between storage time and biomarker concentration was for KIM-1 in outpatient samples, where each month of storage was associated with a 1.7% decrease (95% CI -3% to -0.3%). There was no relationship between storage time and KIM-1 levels in samples from the index hospitalization. CONCLUSION There was no significant impact of storage time over a median of 18 months on urine KIM-1, NGAL, IL-18 or L-FABP in hospitalized samples; a statistically significant effect towards a decrease over time was noted for KIM-1 in outpatient samples. Additional studies are needed to determine whether longer periods of storage at -70°C systematically impact levels of these analytes.

Abstract
Body fluid protein-based biomarkers carry the hope of improving patient management in diabetes by enabling more accurate and earlier detection of diabetic kidney disease (DKD), but also of defining the most suitable therapeutic targets. We present the data on some of the best studied individual protein markers in body fluids and conclude that their potential in clinical application for assessing DKD is moderate. Proteome-based approaches aiming at the identification of panels of body fluid biomarkers might be a valid alternative. We discuss the past (first) clinical proteomics studies in DKD, stressing their drawbacks but also the lessons that could be learned from them, as well as the more recent studies that have a potential for actual clinical implementation. We also highlight relevant issues and current problems associated with clinical proteomics from discovery towards application, and give suggestions for solutions that may help guiding proteomic studies, thereby removing some of the current hurdles for implementation of potentially beneficial results.

Abstract
Cadmium (Cd) is a nephrotoxic environmental pollutant that causes insidious injury to the proximal tubule that results in severe polyuria and proteinuria. Cystatin C is a low molecular weight protein that is being evaluated as a serum and urinary biomarker for various types of ischemic and nephrotoxic renal injury. The objective of the present study was to determine if cystatin C might be a useful early biomarker of Cd nephrotoxicity. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were given daily injections of Cd for up to 12 weeks. At 3, 6, 9 and 12 weeks, urine samples were analyzed for cystatin C, protein, creatinine, β2 microglobulin and kidney injury molecule-1. The results showed that Cd caused a significant increase in the urinary excretion of cystatin C that occurred 3-4 weeks before the onset of polyuria and proteinuria. Serum levels of cystatin C were not altered by Cd. Immunolabeling studies showed that Cd caused the relocalization of cystatin C from the cytoplasm to the apical surface of the epithelial cells of the proximal tubule. The Cd-induced changes in cystatin C labelling paralleled those of the brush border transport protein, megalin, which has been implicated as a mediator of cystatin C uptake in the proximal tubule. These results indicate that Cd increases the urinary excretion of cystatin C, and they suggest that this effect may involve disruption of megalin-mediated uptake of cystatin C by epithelial cells of the proximal tubule.

Abstract
Background New renal biomarkers measured in urine promise to increase specificity for risk stratification and early diagnosis of acute kidney injury (AKI) but concomitantly may be altered by urine concentration effects and chronic renal insufficiency. This study therefore directly compared the performance of AKI biomarkers in urine and plasma. Methods This single-center, prospective cohort study included 110 unselected adults undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass between 2009 and 2010. Plasma and/or urine concentrations of creatinine, cystatin C, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), liver fatty acid-binding protein (L-FABP), kidney injury molecule 1 (KIM1), and albumin as well as 15 additional biomarkers in plasma and urine were measured during the perioperative period. The primary outcome was AKI defined by AKIN serum creatinine criteria within 72 hours after surgery. Results Biomarkers in plasma showed markedly better discriminative performance for preoperative risk stratification and early postoperative (within 24h after surgery) detection of AKI than urine biomarkers. Discriminative power of urine biomarkers improved when concentrations were normalized to urinary creatinine, but urine biomarkers had still lower AUC values than plasma biomarkers. Best diagnostic performance 4h after surgery had plasma NGAL (AUC 0.83), cystatin C (0.76), MIG (0.74), and L-FAPB (0.73). Combinations of multiple biomarkers did not improve their diagnostic power. Preoperative clinical scoring systems (EuroSCORE and Cleveland Clinic Foundation Score) predicted the risk for AKI (AUC 0.76 and 0.71) and were not inferior to biomarkers. Preexisting chronic kidney disease limited the diagnostic performance of both plasma and urine biomarkers. Conclusions In our cohort plasma biomarkers had higher discriminative power for risk stratification and early diagnosis of AKI than urine biomarkers. For preoperative risk stratification of AKI clinical models showed similar discriminative performance to biomarkers. The discriminative performance of both plasma and urine biomarkers was reduced by preexisting chronic kidney disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Mortality and morbidity of acute kidney injury (AKI) after cardiac surgery still remain high. The authors undertook the present study to evaluate the utility of early postoperative urinary albumin (uAlb) as a diagnostic marker for predicting occurrence of AKI and its severity in pediatric patients undergoing cardiac surgery. DESIGN A prospective observational study. SETTING A single-institution university hospital. PARTICIPANTS All patients<18 years of age who underwent repair of congenital heart disease with cardiopulmonary bypass between July 2010 and July 2012 were included in the study. Neonates age<1 month were excluded from the study population. INTERVENTIONS The association between uAlb and occurrence of AKI within 3 days after admission to the intensive care unit was investigated. Criteria from pediatric-modified Risk Injury Failure Loss and End-stage kidney disease (pRIFLE) were used to determine the occurrence of AKI. The value of uAlb was measured at intensive care unit admission immediately after cardiac surgery in all participants from whom a 5-mL urine sample was obtained. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Of 376 patients, AKI assessed by pRIFLE was identified in 243 (64.6%): 172 for risk (R; 45.7%), 44 for injury (I; 11.7%), and 27 for failure (F; 7.2%). One hundred thirty-three patients (35.4%) were classified as being without AKI (normal [N]) by pRIFLE. The concentration of uAlb was significantly higher in AKI patients than in non-AKI patients (median [interquartile range]): uAlb (µg/mL): 13.5 (6.4-39.6) v 6.0 (3.4-16), p<0.001; uAlb/Cr (mg/gCr): 325 (138-760) v 121 (53-269), p< 0.001. CONCLUSIONS The utility of uAlb for prompt diagnosis of AKI was shown. Obtaining uAlb measurements early after pediatric cardiac surgery may be useful for predicting the occurrence and severity of AKI.

Abstract
Diabetes prevalence is increasing worldwide, mainly due to the increase in type 2 diabetes. Diabetic nephropathy occurs in up to 40% of people with type 1 or type 2 diabetes. It is important to identify patients at risk of diabetic nephropathy and those who will progress to end stage renal disease. In clinical practice, most commonly used markers of renal disease and progression are serum creatinine, estimated glomerular filtration rate and proteinuria or albuminuria. Unfortunately, they are all insensitive. This review summarizes the evidence regarding the prognostic value and benefits of targeting some novel risk markers for development of diabetic nephropathy and its progression. It is focused mainly on tubular biomarkers (neutrophil-gelatinase associated lipocalin, kidney injury molecule 1, liver-fatty acid-binding protein, N-acetyl-beta-d-glucosaminidase), markers of inflammation (pro-inflammatory cytokines, tumour necrosis factor-α and tumour necrosis factor-α receptors, adhesion molecules, chemokines) and markers of oxidative stress. Despite the promise of some of these new biomarkers, further large, multicenter prospective studies are still needed before they can be used in everyday clinical practice.

Abstract
Background Urinary excretion of alpha-1-microglobulin and beta-2-microglobulin reflects tubular damage and predicts outcome in patients with idiopathic membranous nephropathy with reasonable accuracy. Urinary kidney injury molecule-1 and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin are novel biomarkers of tubular damage. We investigated if these markers could improve prediction of outcome in idiopathic membranous nephropathy. Methods We measured kidney injury molecule-1 and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin in urine samples from patients with idiopathic membranous nephropathy, who had nephrotic proteinuria and normal renal function. Excretion of alpha-1-microglobulin and beta-2-microglobulin had been measured previously. Progression was defined as a serum creatinine rise >30%, a rise in serum creatinine to an absolute value of ≥135 µmol/L, or a clinical decision to start immunosuppressive therapy. Remission was defined as proteinuria <3.5 g/day and >50% reduction from baseline. Results Sixty-nine patients were included. Median follow-up was 35 months (interquartile range 18–63 months). Progression occurred in 30 patients (44%), and spontaneous remission in 36 (52%). Kidney injury molecule-1 and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin excretion rates were significantly correlated with each other, and with alpha-1-microglobulin and beta-2-microglobulin. The areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves for progression were 0.75 (0.62–0.87) for kidney injury molecule-1 and 0.74 (0.62–0.87) for neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin. In multivariate analysis with either alpha-1-microglobulin and beta-2-microglobulin, kidney injury molecule-1 and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin did not independently predict outcome. Conclusion Kidney injury molecule-1 and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin excretion rates correlated with excretion rates of other tubular damage markers and predicted outcome in patients with idiopathic membranous nephropathy. They did not add prognostic value compared to measurement of either alpha-1-microglobulin or beta-2-microglobulin.

Abstract
Proteomic biomarkers offer the hope of improving the management of patients with kidney diseases by enabling more accurate and earlier detection of renal pathology than is possible with currently available biomarkers, serum creatinine and urinary albumin. In addition, proteomic biomarkers could also be useful to define the most suitable therapeutic targets in a given patient or disease setting. This Review describes the current status of proteomic and protein biomarkers in the context of kidney diseases. The valuable lessons learned from early clinical studies of potential proteomic biomarkers in kidney disease are presented to give context to the newly identified biomarkers, which have potential for actual clinical implementation. This article also includes an overview of protein-based biomarker candidates that are undergoing development for use in nephrology, focusing on those with the greatest potential for clinical implementation. Relevant issues and problems associated with the discovery, validation and clinical application of proteomic biomarkers are discussed, along with suggestions for solutions that might help to guide the design of future proteomic studies. These improvements might remove some of the current obstacles to the utilization of proteomic biomarkers, with potentially beneficial results.

Abstract
The potential protective effect of the dietary antioxidant curcumin (120 mg/Kg/day for 6 days) against the renal injury induced by maleate was evaluated. Tubular proteinuria and oxidative stress were induced by a single injection of maleate (400 mg/kg) in rats. Maleate-induced renal injury included increase in renal vascular resistance and in the urinary excretion of total protein, glucose, sodium, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) and N-acetyl β-D-glucosaminidase (NAG), upregulation of kidney injury molecule (KIM)-1, decrease in renal blood flow and claudin-2 expression besides of necrosis and apoptosis of tubular cells on 24 h. Oxidative stress was determined by measuring the oxidation of lipids and proteins and diminution in renal Nrf2 levels. Studies were also conducted in renal epithelial LLC-PK1 cells and in mitochondria isolated from kidneys of all the experimental groups. Maleate induced cell damage and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in LLC-PK1 cells in culture. In addition, maleate treatment reduced oxygen consumption in ADP-stimulated mitochondria and diminished respiratory control index when using malate/glutamate as substrate. The activities of both complex I and aconitase were also diminished. All the above-described alterations were prevented by curcumin. It is concluded that curcumin is able to attenuate in vivo maleate-induced nephropathy and in vitro cell damage. The in vivo protection was associated to the prevention of oxidative stress and preservation of mitochondrial oxygen consumption and activity of respiratory complex I, and the in vitro protection was associated to the prevention of ROS production.

Renoprotective effect of atorvastatin on STZ-diabetic rats through attenuating kidney-associated dysmetabolism. Eur J Pharmacol 2014; 740:9-14. [PMID: 25008071 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejphar.2014.06.055] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2014] [Revised: 06/21/2014] [Accepted: 06/23/2014] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
Atorvastatin (AT) has been alternatively used for managing diabetic complications in clinic. However, AT-related therapeutic potentiality remains relatively unexplored, especially in diabetic nephropathy. This study aimed to investigate the underlying potentiality that AT exerted on anti-diabetic nephropathy role against streptozotocin (STZ)-induced kidney injury in rats. STZ-diabetic rats were intragastrically administered with AT (10, 20 mg/kg/d) for consecutive 8 weeks. The effects of AT on body weight, levels of blood glucose, lipometabolism, redox state, cellular metabolism, regulator factor and kidney morphological changes were monitored by routine measurement, biochemistry assay, PT-PCR analysis, ultrastructural and pathological observations, respectively. Compared with the diabetic nephropathy rats, AT elevated the body weight of diabetic nephropathy rats (P<0.01), effectively reduced the blood glucose level (P<0.01), increased the levels of insulin and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) in plasma (P<0.01), and decreased the 24 h urine protein content and serum concentrations of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) (P<0.01). Meanwhile, increase in kidney tissue, the intrarenal activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) were enhanced, while the malonaldehyde (MDA) content was reduced (P<0.01). In addition, the expression of transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1) mRNA in kidney tissue was notably down-regulated (P<0.01). Furthermore, AT contributed to alleviating STZ-induced nephritic damages in rats. These results demonstrate that atorvastatin exerts the effective protective role against kidney injuries of STZ-induced diabetic nephropathy rat, which the underlying mechanisms are associated with ameliorating glyco, lipometabolism, enhancing antioxidant ability, and mitigating renal damage.

Abstract
Measurement of retinol-binding protein 4 in urine (uRBP4) is arguably the most sensitive biomarker for loss of function of the human proximal renal tubule. Megalin- and cubilin-receptor-mediated endocytosis normally absorbs > 99% of the approximately 1.5 g/24 h of protein filtered by the renal glomerulus. When this fails there is "tubular proteinuria," comprising uRBP4, albumin, and many other proteins and peptides. This tubular proteinuria is a consistent feature of the renal Fanconi syndrome (FS) and measurement of uRBP4 appears to be an excellent screening test for FS. FS occurs in rare inherited renal diseases including cystinosis, Dent disease, Lowe syndrome, and autosomal dominant FS. Acquired FS occurs in paraproteinemias, tubulointerstitial renal disease, oncogenic osteomalacia, Chinese herbs nephropathy, and Balkan endemic nephropathy. Though poorly understood, FS may be associated with HIV disease and antiretroviral treatment; cadmium poisoning may cause FS. In addition to FS, uRBP4 measurement has a different role: the early detection of acute kidney injury. Urine RBP4 comprises several isoforms, including intact plasma RBP4, MW 21.07 kDa, and C-terminal truncated forms, des-L- and des-LL-RBP4, also probably plasma derived. In FS, uRBP4 levels are about 104-fold above the upper limit of normal and small increments are frequently seen in carriers of some inherited forms of FS and in acquired disease. The very high levels in disease, frequent assay nonlinearity, lack of defined calibrants, and multiple uRBP4 isoforms make accurate assay challenging; top-down mass spectrometry has brought advances. Assays for uRBP4 with defined molecular targets allowing good interlaboratory comparisons are needed.

Abstract
Urinary biomarkers of AKI provide prognostic value for in-hospital outcomes, but little is known about their association with longer-term mortality after surgery. We sought to assess the association between kidney injury biomarkers and all-cause mortality in an international, multicenter, prospective long-term follow-up study from six clinical centers in the United States and Canada composed of 1199 adults who underwent cardiac surgery between 2007 and 2009 and were enrolled in the Translational Research in Biomarker Endpoints in AKI cohort. On postoperative days 1-3, we measured the following five urinary biomarkers: neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin, IL-18, kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1), liver fatty acid binding protein, and albumin. During a median follow-up of 3.0 years (interquartile range, 2.2-3.6 years), 139 participants died (55 deaths per 1000 person-years). Among patients with clinical AKI, the highest tertiles of peak urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin, IL-18, KIM-1, liver fatty acid binding protein, and albumin associated independently with a 2.0- to 3.2-fold increased risk for mortality compared with the lowest tertiles. In patients without clinical AKI, the highest tertiles of peak IL-18 and KIM-1 also associated independently with long-term mortality (adjusted hazard ratios [95% confidence intervals] of 1.2 [1.0 to 1.5] and 1.8 [1.4 to 2.3] for IL-18 and KIM-1, respectively), and yielded continuous net reclassification improvements of 0.26 and 0.37, respectively, for the prediction of 3-year mortality. In conclusion, urinary biomarkers of kidney injury, particularly IL-18 and KIM-1, in the immediate postoperative period provide additional prognostic information for 3-year mortality risk in patients with and without clinical AKI.

Interleukin 18 as a marker of chronic nephropathy in children after anticancer treatment. DISEASE MARKERS 2013; 35:811-8.

Abstract
Novel markers of nephrotoxicity, including kidney injury molecule 1 (KIM-1), interleukin 18 (IL-18), and beta-2 microglobulin, were used in the detection of acute renal injury. The aim of the study was to establish the frequency of postchemotherapy chronic kidney dysfunction in children and to assess the efficacy of IL-18, KIM-1, and beta-2 microglobulin in the detection of chronic nephropathy. We examined eighty-five patients after chemotherapy (median age of twelve years). The median age at the point of diagnosis was 4.2 years, and the median follow-up time was 4.6 years. We performed classic laboratory tests assessing kidney function and compared the results with novel markers (KIM-1, beta-2 microglobulin, and IL-18). Features of subclinical renal injury were identified in forty-eight children (56.3% of the examined group). Nephropathy, especially tubulopathy, appeared more frequently in patients treated with ifosfamide, cisplatin, and/or carboplatin, following nephrectomy or abdominal radiotherapy (P = 0.14, P = 0.11, and P = 0.08, resp.). Concentrations of IL-18 and beta-2 microglobulin were comparable with classic signs of tubulopathy (P = 0.0001 and P = 0.05). Concentrations of IL-18 were also significantly higher in children treated with highly nephrotoxic drugs (P = 0.0004) following nephrectomy (P = 0.0007) and abdominal radiotherapy (P = 0.01). Concentrations of beta-2 microglobulin were higher after highly toxic chemotherapy (P = 0.004) and after radiotherapy (P = 0.02). ROC curves created utilizing IL-18 data allowed us to distinguish between children with nephropathy (value 28.8 pg/mL) and tubulopathy (37.1 pg/mL). Beta-2 microglobulin and IL-18 seem to be promising markers of chronic renal injury in children after chemotherapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The study of novel urinary biomarkers of acute kidney injury has expanded exponentially. Effective interpretation of data and meaningful comparisons between studies require awareness of factors that can adversely affect measurement. We examined how variations in short-term storage and processing might affect the measurement of urine biomarkers. STUDY DESIGN Cross-sectional prospective. SETTING & PARTICIPANTS Hospitalized patients from 2 sites: Yale New Haven Hospital (n=50) and University of California, San Francisco Medical Center (n=36). PREDICTORS We tested the impact of 3 urine processing conditions on these biomarkers: (1) centrifugation and storage at 4°C for 48 hours before freezing at -80°C, (2) centrifugation and storage at 25°C for 48 hours before freezing at -80°C, and (3) uncentrifuged samples immediately frozen at -80°C. OUTCOMES Urine concentrations of 5 biomarkers: neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), interleukin 18 (IL-18), kidney injury molecule 1 (KIM-1), liver-type fatty acid-binding protein (L-FABP), and cystatin C. MEASUREMENTS We measured urine biomarkers by established enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay methods. Biomarker values were log-transformed, and agreement with a reference standard of immediate centrifugation and storage at -80°C was compared using concordance correlation coefficients (CCCs). RESULTS Neither storing samples at 4°C for 48 hours nor centrifugation had a significant effect on measured levels, with CCCs higher than 0.9 for all biomarkers tested. For samples stored at 25°C for 48 hours, excellent CCC values (>0.9) also were noted between the test sample and the reference standard for NGAL, cystatin C, L-FABP and KIM-1. However, the CCC for IL-18 between samples stored at 25°C for 48 hours and the reference standard was 0.81 (95% CI, 0.66-0.96). LIMITATIONS No comparisons to fresh, unfrozen samples; no evaluation of the effect of protease inhibitors. CONCLUSIONS All candidate markers tested using the specified assays showed high stability with both short-term storage at 4°C and without centrifugation prior to freezing. For optimal fidelity, urine for IL-18 measurement should not be stored at 25°C before long-term storage or analysis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) is a promising biomarker for acute kidney injury that is beginning to be used in clinical practice in addition to research studies. The current study describes an independent validation and comparison of five commercially available NGAL assays, focusing on urine samples. This is an essential step in the translation of this marker to clinical use in terms of allowing valid inter-study comparison and generation of robust results. METHODS Two CE (Conformité Européenne)-marked assays, the NGAL Test (BioPorto) on Siemens ADVIA(®) 1800 and the ARCHITECT Urine NGAL assay on i2000SR (Abbott Laboratories), and three research-use-only (RUO) ELISAs (R&D Systems, Hycult and BioPorto) were evaluated. Imprecision, parallelism, recovery, selectivity, limit of quantitation (LOQ), vulnerability to interference and hook effect were assessed and inter-assay agreement was determined using 68 urine samples from patients with various renal diseases and healthy controls. RESULTS The Abbott and R&D Systems assays demonstrated satisfactory performance for all parameters tested. However for the other three assays evaluated, problems were identified with LOQ (BioPorto/ADVIA(®)), parallelism (BioPorto ELISA) or several parameters (Hycult). Between-method agreement varied with the Hycult assay in particular being markedly different and highlighting issues with standardization and form of NGAL measured. CONCLUSIONS Variability exists between the five NGAL assays in terms of their performance and this should be taken into account when interpreting results from the various clinical or research studies measuring urinary NGAL.

Abstract
Introduction Obesity confers a survival advantage in the critically ill and in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. We explored whether an obesogenic high fat diet could confer protection against post cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) acute kidney injury (AKI) in a swine model. Methods In this study, 28 anaesthetised adult female Landrace White swine (55 to 70 kg) were allocated into a 4 group design to either 2.5 hours of CPB or Sham operation with or without pre-procedural high fat (HF) feeding containing 15% lard, 1.5% cholesterol and 1% cholic acid for 12-weeks (Groups: Sham, CPB, CPB + HF and Sham + HF). Our primary endpoint was creatinine clearance measured at 1.5 and 24 hours post intervention. This is a validated index of the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in swine and an endpoint used in our clinical studies. Secondary endpoints included measures of systemic and renal inflammation, endothelial homeostasis, tubular injury and dysfunction, and inflammatory cell signalling. Differences between groups were calculated using analysis of variance with adjustment for baseline differences for repeated measures. Results CPB in pigs fed a normal chow diet resulted in AKI. This was characterised by reductions in GFR sustained for up to 24 hours post injury relative to Sham operated pigs fed a normal diet; mean difference 50.2 ml/min (95% CI 5.9 to 94.4). Post CPB AKI was also characterised by renal inflammation, parallel activation of both pro-inflammatory (NF-kB, iNOS) and pro-survival pathways (pAkt, p70s6k, HIF-1α) and apoptosis. Pigs fed a 12-week high fat diet developed obesity and hyperlipidaemia. This was associated with increased redox sensitive pro-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic signalling, and tubular epithelial cell proliferation. High fat feeding also protected swine against post CPB AKI; mean difference in creatinine clearance CPB - CPB + HF −65.3 ml/min (95% CI −106.9 to −23.7), by preserving endothelial homeostasis and function, and preventing the reductions in GFR, loss of ATP and tubular apoptosis that characterise the extension phase of AKI in swine at 24 hours post injury. Reno-protection was not attributed to pAkt signaling. Conclusions A high fat diet promoted obesity and renal inflammation and prevented post CPB AKI in swine. This study provides insights into the obesity paradox and the failure of anti-inflammatory interventions to improve clinical outcomes in patients at risk of post cardiac surgery AKI.

Abstract
Polypeptide antibiotics, such as polymyxins and aminoglycosides, are essential for treatment of life-threatening Gram-negative infections. Acute kidney injury (AKI) attributed to treatment with these agents severely limits their clinical application. Because standard biomarkers (serum creatinine [sCRE] and blood urea nitrogen [BUN]) feature limited sensitivity, the development of novel biomarkers of AKI is important. Here, we compared the performance of standard and emerging biomarkers of AKI for the detection of nephrotoxicity caused by polymyxin B across multiple species (rat, dog and monkey). Further, we applied a biomarker-driven strategy for selection of new kidney-sparing polymyxin analogs. Polymyxin B treatment produced dose-dependent kidney injury observed as proximal tubular degeneration/regeneration and necrosis across all species. Dogs and monkeys had similar biomarker profiles that included increases of both standard (sCRE and BUN) and emerging (urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated Lipocalin [NGAL] and urinary kidney injury molecule 1 [KIM-1]) biomarkers of AKI. In contrast, only urinary NGAL and urinary KIM-1 were sufficiently capable of detecting kidney injury in rats. Because rats provide a feasible model for screening compounds in drug development, we utilized urinary NGAL as a sensitive biomarker of AKI to screen and rank order compounds in a 2-day toxicity study. To our knowledge, this study provides a first example of successfully applying biomarkers of AKI in drug development.

Abstract
Routinely, kidney dysfunction and decreased glomerular filtration rate (GFR) are diagnosed by the evaluation of changes in the serum creatinine (SCr) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) concentrations. However, neither of these tests is sensitive or specific enough for the early diagnosis of impaired kidney function because they are both affected by other renal and nonrenal factors. Furthermore, kidney injury can be present in the absence of kidney dysfunction. Renal reserve enables normal GFR even when nephrons are damaged. Renal biomarkers, especially those present in urine, may be useful for the study of both acute and chronic nephropathies. The aim of this review is to describe the current status of urinary biomarkers as diagnostic tools for kidney injury in dogs with particular focus on acute kidney injury (AKI). The International Renal Interest Society (IRIS) canine AKI grading system and the implementation of urinary biomarkers in this system also are discussed. The discovery of novel urinary biomarkers has emerged from hypotheses about the pathophysiology of kidney injury, but few proteomic urine screening approaches have been described in dogs. Lack of standardization of biomarker assays further complicates the comparison of novel canine urinary biomarker validation results among studies. Future research should focus on novel biomarkers of renal origin and evaluate promising biomarkers in different clinical conditions. Validation of selected urinary biomarkers in the diagnosis of canine kidney diseases must include dogs with both renal and nonrenal diseases to evaluate their sensitivity, specificity as well as their negative and positive predictive values.

Abstract
The effect of blocking the first and rate-limiting step in renin-angiotensin cascade on the renal function in ischemia reperfusion injury has not been previously investigated. We investigated the effect of aliskiren, the first approved direct oral renin inhibitor, on the alterations in renal functional parameters in this condition. Wistar rats underwent left renal ischemia for 40 min. Group-1 received normal saline whereas Group-2 received aliskiren (30 mg/kg/day) by gavage for 6 days commencing one day before IRI. The hemodynamic and tubular functions and gene expression of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) and plasminogen activating inhibitor (PAI-1) in the right and left kidneys were measured five days following the IRI. Comparing Group-1 and Group-2, the left renal blood flow was significantly higher in Group-2 (1.28+/-0.36 vs. 0.39+/-0.05, P=0.007). Left kidney glomerular filtration rate was also higher in Group-2 but did not reach statistical significance (0.18+/-0.05 vs. 0.10+/-0.02, P=0.07). The left renal FE(Na) was significantly lower in Group-2 (29.9+/-6.4 vs. 49.7+/-7.8, P=0.03). Aliskiren also caused a significant decrease in the gene expression of both NGAL and PAI-1 in the left ischemic kidney. In conclusions, the administration of aliskiren before and after IRI appears to have ameliorated the IRI effect on the total renal artery blood flow, fractional excretion of sodium and gene expression of both NGAL and PAI-1 indicating a renoprotective effects in IRI.

Abstract
Renal dysfunction is often present and/or worsens in patients with heart failure and this is associated with increased costs of care, complications and mortality. The cardiorenal syndrome can be defined as the presence or development of renal dysfunction in patients with heart failure. Its mechanisms are likely related to low cardiac output, increased venous congestion and renal venous pressure, neurohormonal and inflammatory activation and local changes, such as adenosine release. Many drugs, including loop diuretics, may contribute to worsening renal function through the activation of some of these mechanisms. Renal damage is conventionally defined by the increase in creatinine and blood urea nitrogen blood levels. However, these changes may be not related with renal injury or prognosis. New biomarkers of renal injury seem promising but still need to be validated. Thus, despite the epidemiological evidence, we are still lacking of satisfactory tools to assess renal injury and function and its prognostic significance.

Abstract
AKI is a common and serious complication that is associated with several adverse outcomes in hospitalized patients. The past several years have seen a large number of multicenter investigations of biomarkers of AKI in the setting of cardiac surgery and critical illness. This review summarizes these biomarker results to identify applications for clinical use. The Translational Research Investigating Biomarker Endpoints in AKI (TRIBE-AKI) study showed that blood and urine biomarkers measured preoperatively, immediately postoperatively, and at the time of the clinical increase in serum creatinine in the setting of cardiac surgery all had the ability to improve patient risk stratification for a variety of important clinical end points. Analyses of biomarkers concentrations from the Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Network, EARLY ARF, and other studies of critically ill subjects have similarly shown that biomarkers measured early in the clinical course can forecast the development of AKI and need for renal replacement therapy as well as inpatient mortality. Although biomarkers have informed the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of AKI and are inching closer to clinical application, large multicenter interventional clinical trials to prevent AKI using biomarkers should continue to be an active area of clinical investigation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We aimed to compare serum cystatin C levels (sCysC) in preterm neonates with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) with a control group and to investigate whether it could be used as a predictor for acute kidney injury (AKI). METHODS sCysC was measured in 62 neonates with RDS (n = 28) and control neonates without RDS (n = 34), whose gestational ages (GA) were between 27 and 29 weeks (subgroup 1) and 30-32 weeks (subgroup 2). AKI was defined as oliguria and/or increase of serum creatinine. Blood samples were obtained on postnatal days (PND) 3 and 30. sCysC levels were determined by particle-enhanced nephelometric immunoassay. RESULTS There were six neonates with AKI (RDS-AKI subgroup) and 22 neonates without AKI (RDS-no AKI subgroup) during the first 7 days. Although sCysC levels were lower in neonates with RDS than controls on PND3 in both GA subgroups, the differences were not significant. However, in neonates with RDS and AKI, sCysC levels were significantly higher than neonates with RDS but no AKI and neonates in the control group on PND3. sCysC level was found to have a statistically significant association with AKI development in preterm neonates with RDS. CONCLUSIONS sCysC is an independent predictor of AKI in preterm neonates with RDS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE HIV-infected persons have substantially higher risk of kidney failure than persons without HIV, but serum creatinine levels are insensitive for detecting declining kidney function. We hypothesized that urine markers of kidney injury would be associated with declining kidney function among HIV-infected women. METHODS In the Women's Interagency HIV Study, we measured concentrations of albumin-to-creatinine ratio, interleukin-18 (IL-18), kidney injury marker-1 (KIM-1), and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin from stored urine among 908 HIV-infected and 289 HIV-uninfected participants. Primary analyses used cystatin C-based estimated glomerular filtration rate (CKD-EPI eGFRcys) as the outcome, measured at baseline and 2 follow-up visits over 8 years; secondary analyses used creatinine (CKD-EPI eGFRcr). Each urine biomarker was categorized into tertiles, and kidney decline was modeled with both continuous and dichotomized outcomes. RESULTS Compared with the lowest tertiles, the highest tertiles of albumin-to-creatinine ratio (-0.15 mL/min per 1.73 m, P < 0.0001), IL-18 (-0.09 mL/min per 1.73 m, P < 0.0001) and KIM-1 (-0.06 mL/min per 1.73 m, P < 0.001) were independently associated with faster eGFRcys decline after multivariate adjustment including all 3 biomarkers among HIV-infected women. Among these biomarkers, only IL-18 was associated with each dichotomized eGFRcys outcome: ≥3% (relative risk = 1.40; 95% confidence interval: 1.04 to 1.89); ≥5% (1.88; 1.30 to 2.71); and ≥10% (2.16; 1.20 to 3.88) for the highest versus lowest tertile. In alternative models using eGFRcr, the high tertile of KIM-1 had independent associations with 5% (1.71; 1.25 to 2.33) and 10% (1.78; 1.07 to 2.96) decline, and the high IL-18 tertile with 10% decline (1.97; 1.00 to 3.87). CONCLUSIONS Among HIV-infected women in the Women's Interagency HIV Study cohort, novel urine markers of kidney injury detect risk for subsequent declines in kidney function.

Abstract
Identifying patients with impaired renal function is crucial in the setting of critical illness. Serum creatinine serves as the gold standard for assessing steady-state renal function, helping to define those with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Although these baseline creatinine values are often not available in the setting of critical illness, CKD, whether defined by serum creatinine or proteinuria, increases the risk of developing acute kidney injury (AKI). Despite delays in elevations following renal insults, serum creatinine remains the standard for assessing acute changes in renal function. Standardized definitions of AKI, using changes in serum creatinine and urine output, have informed the epidemiology of ICU-acquired AKI and have helped define the long-term outcomes in patients who experience AKI. A complex cyclical interplay exists between AKI and CKD, in which CKD predisposes patients to an increased risk of AKI, whereas those with AKI, regardless of baseline renal function, are more likely to suffer from post-AKI CKD. The clarification of the AKI-CKD dynamic remains a work in progress and will be aided by the implementation of novel measures of renal function. Several novel biomarkers of renal function have been proposed to augment serum creatinine in the diagnosis of AKI and CKD. These biomarkers, taken with recent clinical investigations, have laid the groundwork for the impending paradigm shift in risk stratifying and in diagnosing changes in renal function in the ICU.

Abstract
Background Bone marrow (BM) stem cells have been reported to contribute to tissue repair after kidney injury model. However, there is no direct evidence so far that BM cells can trans-differentiate into renal stem cells. Methods To investigate whether BM stem cells contribute to repopulate the renal stem cell pool, we transplanted BM cells from transgenic mice, expressing enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) into wild-type irradiated recipients. Following hematological reconstitution and ischemia-reperfusion (I/R), Sca-1 and c-Kit positive renal stem cells in kidney were evaluated by immunostaining and flow cytometry analysis. Moreover, granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) was administrated to further explore if G-CSF can mobilize BM cells and enhance trans-differentiation efficiency of BM cells into renal stem cells. Results BM-derived cells can contribute to the Sca-1+ or c-Kit+ renal progenitor cells population, although most renal stem cells came from indigenous cells. Furthermore, G-CSF administration nearly doubled the frequency of Sca-1+ BM-derived renal stem cells and increased capillary density of I/R injured kidneys. Conclusions These findings indicate that BM derived stem cells can give rise to cells that share properties of renal resident stem cell. Moreover, G-CSF mobilization can enhance this effect.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) leads to high rates of morbidity and independently increases mortality risk. Therapy for AKI is likely limited by the inability to reliably diagnose AKI in its early stages, and, importantly, small changes in serum creatinine may be associated with poor outcomes and severe AKI. Whereas AKI biomarker research seeks to identify more sensitive and timely indices of kidney dysfunction, AKI lacks physical signs and symptoms to trigger biomarker assessment in at-risk patients, limiting biomarker efficacy. Accurate models of AKI prediction are unavailable. Severity of illness (SOI) scoring systems and organ dysfunction scores (OD), which stratify patients by prediction of mortality risk, are AKI reactive, not predictive. Kidney-specific severity scores do not account for AKI progression, and stratification models of AKI severity are not predictive of AKI. Thus, there is a need for a kidney scoring system that can help predict the development of AKI. This review highlights the concept of renal angina, a combination of patient risk factors and subtle AKI, as a methodology to predict AKI progression. Fulfillment of renal angina criteria will improve the efficiency of AKI prediction by biomarkers, in turn expediting early therapy and assisting in creation of AKI-predictive scoring systems.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) is a vital inflammatory marker of obesity. Whether obesity by itself increases the risk of chronic kidney injury and accelerates its progression is unknown. More importantly, it is unknown whether obesity could induce kidney injury by MCP-1. METHODS We enrolled 40 obese men and 26 healthy volunteers who served as controls. The degree of insulin resistance was evaluated by the homeostasis model assessment (HOMA-IR) method, and kidney function was determined based on the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), albuminuria, the concentration of serum cystatin C (S-CysC), and the urinary cystatin C to creatinine ratio (UCCR). RESULTS The obese subjects had significantly higher S-CysC concentration (1114±288 vs.962±169 mg/L, p=0.021) and a higher UCCR (3.5±1.6 vs. 2.5±0.8 μg/g, p=0.002) than those of controls. The concentration of circulating MCP-1 and the urinary MCP-1 to creatinine ratio (UMCR) were higher in the obese group and were correlated with fat mass and HOMA-IR. Using stepwise multiple linear regression analysis, circulating MCP-1 concentration was found to be independently associated with the amount of S-CysC. In addition, the UMCR was independently associated with the UCCR. CONCLUSION The concentrations of circulating and urinary monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 are associated with chronic renal injury in obese men.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Urinary interleukin-18 and cystatin-C are suggested to be biomarkers for predicting acute kidney injury (AKI). The aims of this study are to examine whether the urinary concentrations of interleukin-18 and cystatin-C vary with gestational age and other factors in non-AKI control neonates, and to determine whether urinary interleukin-18 and cystatin-C can predict AKI development in non-septic critically ill neonates, independently of potential confounders. METHODS We enrolled 62 non-septic critically ill neonates. Urine was collected every 48-72 h during the first 10 days of life. RESULTS Urinary concentration of cystatin-C, but not interleukin-18, decreased with increasing gestational age and body weight, but not with increasing postnatal age in non-AKI control neonates. Both urinary interleukin-18 and cystatin-C were associated with AKI, even after controlling for gestational and postnatal age, birth weight, gender, Apgar score and the score for neonatal acute physiology in non-septic critically ill neonates. Urinary interleukin-18 and cystatin-C had odds ratios of 2.27 and 2.07, and achieved the area under-the-receiver-operating-characteristic curve of 0.72 and 0.92, respectively, for predicting AKI. CONCLUSIONS The urinary concentration of cystatin-C, but not interleukin-18, may decrease with increasing renal maturity. Both urinary interleukin-18 and cystatin-C are independently predictive of AKI in non-septic critically ill neonates.
