    Title translation Thiazides to prevent recurrence of kidney stones: is hydrochlorothiazide still indicated?
    Abstract Thiazides are widely used to prevent recurrence of calcium-containing kidney stones. However, the recent NOSTONE trial reported no benefit of hydrochlorothiazide on the composite outcome of symptomatic or radiologic recurrence. Higher doses (25 and 50mg daily) resulted in a decrease of radiologic recurrence, but no difference in symptomatic stones. Current guidelines preserve the use of hydrochlorothiazide to patients with overt hypercalciuria, while NOSTONE also included patients without hypercalciuria. This might have underestimated the effect of hydrochlorothiazide. While patients received dietary counseling, results suggest adherence was poor e.g. with respect to oxalate and salt consumption, possibly mitigating a potential beneficial hypocalciuric effect of hydrochlorothiazide. Furthermore, previous studies that did show an effect of thiazides on stone recurrence used higher doses. Thus, while hydrochlorothiazide might not be effective in all patients with calcium-containing kidney stones, it should not be written off, as its efficacy in overt hypercalciuria needs to be further elucidated.

    Abstract Shear stress induced by laminar blood flow has a profound effect on the morphology and functional phenotype of macrovascular endothelial cells. The influence of laminar flow on the glomerular microvascular endothelium, however, remains largely elusive. The glomerular endothelium, including its glycocalyx, is a crucial part of the glomerular filtration barrier, which is involved in blood filtration. We therefore investigated the influence of laminar flow-induced shear stress on the glomerular endothelium. Conditionally immortalized mouse glomerular endothelial cells were cultured for 7 days under a laminar flow of 5 dyn/cm2 to mimic the glomerular blood flow. The cells were subsequently analysed for changes in morphology, expression of shear stress-responsive genes, nitric oxide production, glycocalyx composition, expression of anti-oxidant genes and the inflammatory response. Culture under laminar flow resulted in cytoskeletal rearrangement and cell alignment compared to static conditions. Moreover, production of nitric oxide was increased and the expression of the main functional component of the glycocalyx, Heparan Sulfate, was enhanced in response to shear stress. Furthermore, glomerular endothelial cells demonstrated a quiescent phenotype under flow, characterized by a decreased expression of the pro-inflammatory gene ICAM-1 and increased expression of the anti-oxidant enzymes HO-1 and NQO1. Upon exposure to the inflammatory stimulus TNFα, however, glomerular endothelial cells cultured under laminar flow showed an enhanced inflammatory response. In conclusion, laminar flow extensively affects the morphology and functional phenotype of glomerular endothelial cells in culture. Furthermore, glomerular endothelial cells respond differently to shear stress compared to macrovascular endothelium. To improve the translation of future in vitro studies with glomerular endothelial cells to the in vivo situation, it appears therefore crucial to culture glomerular endothelial cells under physiological flow conditions.

    Abstract Lysinuric protein intolerance (LPI) is a rare metabolic disorder with reduced renal and intestinal reabsorption of ornithine, lysine, and arginine. It is due to variants in SLC7A7, the gene encoding y+L amino acid transporter 1 (y+LAT1), which lead to urea cycle defects with protein intolerance. Chronic kidney disease in lysinuric protein intolerance is common and can progress to kidney failure and initiation of kidney replacement therapy. Kidney transplantation could in theory improve urine levels and, consequently, plasma levels of these amino acids and therefore improve clinical symptoms, as well as protein intolerance, in patients with lysinuric protein intolerance. However, data on kidney transplantation in patients with lysinuric protein intolerance are limited, and up until now no data on clinical and biochemical improvement after kidney transplantation have been reported. In this case report we describe a rare case of kidney transplantation in a lysinuric protein intolerance patient with substantial improvement in protein tolerance; in plasma and urine levels of ornithine, lysine, and arginine; and in lysinuric protein intolerance symptoms.
