Abstract
Glomerular hyperfiltration (GHF) is a phenomenon that can occur in various clinical conditions affecting the kidneys such as sickle cell disease, diabetes mellitus, autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, and solitary functioning kidney. Yet, the pathophysiological mechanisms vary from one disease to another and are not well understood. More so, it has been demonstrated that GHF may occur at the single-nephron in some clinical conditions while in others at the whole-kidney level. In this review, we explore the pathophysiological mechanisms of GHF in relation to various clinical conditions in the pediatric population. In addition, we discuss the role and mechanism of action of important factors such as gender, low birth weight, and race in the pathogenesis of GHF. Finally, in this current review, we further highlight the consequences of GHF in the progression of kidney disease.

Abstract
Glomerular hyperfiltration (GHF) is an increase in single-nephron glomerular filtration rate (GFR) that occurs in both physiological states and pathological states. Whole-kidney GHF is often used as a surrogate for single-nephron hyperfiltration since determining single-nephron GFR is impossible in routine clinical care. A clear definition (read threshold) of GHF is lacking. The aim of the first part of this review was to find evidence for defining the threshold for GHF, based on literature review, including systematic reviews and meta-analysis data, with both measured and estimated GFR. The consensus pediatric threshold for GHF as obtained from reviews, measured and estimated GFR studies, can reliably be set to 135 mL/min/1.73 m2 for children aged > 2 years. Diagnosing GHF from SCr-based estimated GFR is not reliable in subjects with reduced muscle mass. In these cases, it could be of interest to confirm the state of GHF using cystatin C-based eGFR, or preferably, by measured GFR, using methods that are accurate in the high GFR-range.

Abstract
The life expectancy of individuals with sickle cell disease has increased over the years, majorly due to an overall improvement in diagnosis and medical care. Nevertheless, this improved longevity has resulted in an increased prevalence of chronic complications such as sickle cell nephropathy (SCN), which poses a challenge to the medical care of the patient, shortening the lifespan of patients by 20-30 years. Clinical presentation of SCN is age-dependent, with kidney dysfunction slowly beginning to develop from childhood, progressing to chronic kidney disease and kidney failure during the third and fourth decades of life. This review explores the epidemiology, pathology, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, and management of SCN by focusing on the pediatric population. It also discusses the factors that can modify SCN susceptibility.

Abstract
Apolipoprotein L1 (APOL1) high-risk genotypes (HRG), G1 and G2, increase the risk of various non-diabetic kidney diseases in the African population. To date, the precise mechanisms by which APOL1 risk variants induce injury on podocytes and other kidney cells remain unclear. Trying to unravel these mechanisms, most studies have used animal or cell models created by gene editing. We developed and characterised conditionally immortalised human podocyte cell lines derived from urine of a donor carrying APOL1 HRG G2/G2. Following induction of APOL1 expression by polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid (poly(I:C)), we assessed functional features of APOL1-induced podocyte dysfunction. As control, APOL1 wild type (G0/G0) podocyte cell line previously generated from a Caucasian donor was used. Upon exposure to poly(I:C), G2/G2 and G0/G0 podocytes upregulated APOL1 expression resulting in podocytes detachment, decreased cells viability and increased apoptosis rate in a genotype-independent manner. Nevertheless, G2/G2 podocyte cell lines exhibited altered features, including upregulation of CD2AP, alteration of cytoskeleton, reduction of autophagic flux and increased permeability in an in vitro model under continuous perfusion. The human APOL1 G2/G2 podocyte cell model is a useful tool for unravelling the mechanisms of APOL1-induced podocyte injury and the cellular functions of APOL1.

Abstract
Epithelial cells exfoliated in human urine can include cells anywhere from the urinary tract and kidneys; however, podocytes and proximal tubular epithelial cells (PTECs) are by far the most relevant cell types for the study of genetic kidney diseases. When maintained in vitro, they have been proven extremely valuable for discovering disease mechanisms and for the development of new therapies. Furthermore, cultured patient cells can individually represent their human sources and their specific variants for personalized medicine studies, which are recently gaining much interest. In this review, we summarize the methodology for establishing human podocyte and PTEC cell lines from urine and highlight their importance as kidney disease cell models. We explore the well-established and recent techniques of cell isolation, quantification, immortalization and characterization, and we describe their current and future applications.
