    Abstract Background: Systematic data on the efficacy and safety of COVID-19 vaccine in patients on renal replacement therapy (RRT) remains limited. We conducted a meta-analysis on the efficacy and safety of COVID-19 vaccine in patients on RRT.
    Methods: Eligible studies were identified by systematic literature search in four electronic databases. Twenty-seven studies (4,264 patients) were included for meta-analysis. 99% patients received mRNA vaccine.
    Results: Patients on RRT showed inferior seropositivity after two-dosed COVID-19 vaccine, 44% lower than the general population. Kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) had significantly lower seropositivity than patients on haemodialysis (HD) or peritoneal dialysis (PD) (26.1 vs. 84.3% and 92.4% respectively,
    Conclusion: Patients on RRT, particularly KTRs, had significantly reduced antibody response after two-dosed COVID-19 vaccination. Vaccination is generally well tolerated.

    Abstract Introduction: The long-term clinical outcomes in biopsy proven IgAN patients treated with aliskiren on top of a maximally tolerated dose of ACEi/ARB remain unknown.
    Methods: Patients with IgAN treated with a direct renin inhibitor and ACEi/ARB for at least 6 months were compared with a 1:1 propensityscore-matched cohort (including MEST-C score and the 12-months pre-exposure slope of eGFR matching) who received ACEi/ARB without aliskiren exposure to compute the hazard ratio of reaching the primary endpoint of a composite of 40% reduction in eGFR, initiation of KRT and all-cause mortality. Secondary outcome measures included changes in mean UPCR, blood pressure, eGFR, incidence of hyperkalemia and other adverse events during follow-up.
    Results: After a median follow-up of 2.5 years, 8/36 (22.2%) aliskiren-treated patients and 6/36 (16.7%) control patients reached the primary composite outcome (HR = 1.60; 95% CI 0.52-4.88; P = 0.412). Aliskiren treatment increased the risk of ≥ 40% eGFR decline (HR = 1.60; 95% CI 0.52-4.88; P = 0.412), and hyperkalemia (HR = 8.60; 95% CI 0.99-73.64; P = 0.050). At 10.8 years, renal composite outcome was reached in 69.4% vs 58.3% (HR = 2.16; 95% CI 1.18-3.98; P = 0.013) of patients in the aliskiren and control groups, respectively. The mean UPCR reduction between treatment and control was not statistically different (52.7% vs 42.5%; 95% CI 0.63-2.35; P = 0.556). The mean intergroup difference in eGFR decline over 60 months was 7.75 ± 3.95 ml/min/1.73 m
    Conclusion: Among patients with IgAN, add-on aliskiren was associated with less favorable long-term kidney outcomes despite an initial anti-proteinuric effect.

    Abstract Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common in hospitalized patients and is associated with high mortality. Inflammation plays a key role in the pathophysiology of AKI. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are increasingly recognized as regulators of the inflammatory and immune response, but its role in AKI remains unclear.
    Methods: We explored the role of lncRNA Neat1 in (1) a cross-sectional and a longitudinal cohort of AKI in human; (2) three murine models of septic and aseptic AKI and (3) cultured C1.1 mouse kidney tubular cells.
    Results: In human, hospitalized patients with AKI (n=66) demonstrated significantly increased lncRNA Neat1 levels in urinary sediment cells and buffy coat versus control participants (n=152) from a primary care clinic; and among 6 kidney transplant recipients, Neat1 levels were highest immediately after transplant surgery followed by a prompt decline to normal levels in parallel with recovery of kidney function. In mice with AKI induced by sepsis (via LPS injection or cecal ligation and puncture) and renal ischemia-reperfusion, kidney tubular Neat1 was increased versus sham-operated mice. Knockdown of Neat1 in the kidney using short hairpin RNA preserved kidney function, suppressed overexpression of the AKI biomarker NGAL, leukocyte infiltration and both intrarenal and systemic inflammatory cytokines IL-6, CCL-2 and IL-1β. In LPS-treated C1.1 cells, Neat1 was overexpressed via TLR4/NF-κB signaling, and translocated from the cell nucleus into the cytoplasm where it promoted activation of NLRP3 inflammasomes via binding with the scaffold protein Rack1. Silencing Neat1 ameliorated LPS-induced cell inflammation, whereas its overexpression upregulated IL-6 and CCL-2 expression even without LPS stimulation.
    Conclusions: Our findings demonstrate a pathogenic role of Neat1 induction in human and mice during AKI with alleviation of kidney injury in 3 experimental models of septic and aseptic AKI after knockdown of Neat1. LPS/TLR4-induced Neat1 overexpression in tubular epithelial cells increases the inflammatory response by binding with the scaffold protein, Rack1, to activate NLRP3 inflammasomes.

    Abstract Diabetes and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are pandemic, requiring more therapeutic options. This retrospective cohort evaluated the effectiveness, safety profile and prescription pattern of a pilot integrative medicine service program in Hong Kong. Data from 38 patients with diabetes and CKD enrolled to receive 48-week individualized add-on Chinese medicine (CM) were retrieved from the electronically linked hospital database. A 1:1 cohort was generated with patients from the same source and matched by propensity score. The primary outcomes are the change of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) analyzed by analysis of covariance and mixed regression model adjusted for baseline eGFR, age, gender, duration of diabetes history, history of hypertension, diabetic retinopathy, and the use of insulin and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor/angiotensin receptor blocker. The rate of adverse events and the change of key biochemical parameters were analyzed. After a median of 51 weeks, patients who received add-on CM had stabilized eGFR (difference in treatment period: 0.74 ml/min/1.73m
