    Abstract During hospital stay, about 20% of adult patients experience an episode of acute kidney injury (AKI), which is characterized by a rapid decrease in kidney function. Diagnostic tools regarding early diagnosis of kidney dysfunction prior to AKI and markers of renal recovery are not available. Additionally, there is no therapeutic option for the treatment of AKI. Thus, better and more specific diagnostic and therapeutic options are urgently needed in daily clinical practice. NoncodingRNAs (ncRNAs) have come into focus of research in the context of AKI in the last decade. The best characterized group of ncRNAs are microRNAs (miRNAs). An increasing body of literature has shown that miRNAs are involved in the pathogenesis of AKI and that they are promising future tools in the diagnosis and therapy of AKI. However, there are obstacles to be overcome before miRNAs can be transferred to patient care. This review will give an overview of our current knowledge of miRNA involvement in the context of AKI while critically evaluating their diagnostic and therapeutic potential.

    Abstract Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a class of non-coding RNA that were previously thought to be insignificant byproducts of splicing errors. However, recent advances in RNA sequencing confirmed the presence of circRNAs in multiple cell lines and across different species suggesting a functional role of this RNA species. CircRNAs arise from back-splicing events resulting in a circular RNA that is stable, specific and conserved. They can be generated from exons, exon-introns, or introns. CircRNAs have multifaceted functions. They are likely part of the competing endogenous RNA class. They can regulate gene expression by sponging microRNAs, binding proteins or they can be translated into a protein themselves. CircRNAs have been associated with health and disease, some with disease protective effects, some with disease promoting functions. The widespread expression and disease regulatory mechanisms endow circRNAs to be used as functional biomarkers and therapeutic targets for a variety of different disorders. In this concise article we provide an overview of the association of circRNAs with various diseases including cancer, cardiovascular and kidney disease as well as cellular senescence. We conclude with an assessment of the current status and future outlook of this new field of research that carries immense potential with respect to diagnostic and therapeutic approaches of a variety of diseases.

    Abstract Ischaemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury of the kidney is a major cause of acute kidney injury. It may result in worsening or even loss of organ function. Transient occlusion of the renal vessel is followed by a reperfusion period, which induces further tissue damage by release of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species. Ischaemia-reperfusion injury of the kidney may be associated with surgical interventions in native kidneys and is also a common and unavoidable phenomenon in kidney transplantation. MicroRNAs are fascinating modulators of gene expression. They are capable of post-transcriptional silencing of genetic information by targeting the 3'-untranslated region of mRNAs, culminating in a suppression of protein synthesis or an increase in mRNA degradation. They might therefore be useful diagnostic and therapeutic entities during renal I/R injury; for instance, miR-21 has been shown to be enriched in kidney tissue in mice and humans with acute kidney injury. Interestingly, most recent literature suggests that modulation of vascular microRNAs might result in the amelioration of kidney function during renal I/R injury. To that end, miR-126 and miR-24, which have been demonstrated to be highly enriched in endothelial cells, were therapeutically modulated and shown to ameliorate renal I/R injury in mice. MicroRNAs in plasma, urine or enriched in microvesicles have been shown to serve as non-invasive tools for disease monitoring and to have potential impact on downstream mechanisms in recipient cells. This review highlights the latest developments regarding the role of microRNAs in renal I/R injury.

    Abstract Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a class of endogenously expressed regulatory RNAs with a single-stranded circular structure. They are generated by back splicing and their expression can be tightly regulated by RNA binding proteins. Cytoplasmic circRNAs can function as molecular sponges that inhibit microRNA-target interactions and protein function or as templates for the efficient generation of peptides via rolling circle amplification. They can also act as molecular scaffolds that enhance the reaction kinetics of enzyme-substrate interactions. In the nucleus, circRNAs might facilitate chromatin modifications and promote gene expression. CircRNAs are resistant to degradation and can be packaged in extracellular vesicles and transported in the circulation. Initial studies suggest that circRNAs have roles in kidney disease and associated cardiovascular complications. They have been implicated in hypertensive nephropathy, diabetic kidney disease, glomerular disease, acute kidney injury and kidney allograft rejection, as well as in microvascular and macrovascular complications of chronic kidney disease, including atherosclerotic vascular disease. In addition, several circRNAs have been reported to have oncogenic or tumour suppressor roles or to regulate drug resistance in kidney cancer. The available data suggest that circRNAs could be promising diagnostic and/or prognostic biomarkers and potential therapeutic targets for kidney disease, cardiovascular disease and kidney cancer.

    Abstract Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a disease entity of major importance, affecting approximately 6% of all patients on the intensive care unit. The mortality rate exceeds 60%. AKI is related to several underlying conditions, including sepsis, nephrotoxicity or major surgery. Ischaemia reperfusion injury or hypoxic conditions may lead to severe injury of the kidney and is associated with a steep decline in survival rates of patients. At present, AKI is diagnosed on the basis of creatinine levels and urine output. Novel markers and knowledge of their pathophysiological role is of major importance for targeted therapeutic interventions. Noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) have recently been introduced and are the subject of intensive research initiatives. They are arbitrarily separated into small ncRNAs (≤200 nucleotides) and long ncRNAs (lncRNAs, ≥200 nucleotides). Whereas small ncRNAs such as microRNAs have been extensively studied over the past several years, investigations into the role of linear lncRNAs and circular RNAs (circRNAs) are largely lacking. The present review article therefore aims to elucidate in detail the role of microRNAs, lncRNAs and circRNAs in animal models as well as patients with ischaemic AKI and to describe their use as biomarkers as well as their potential use as therapeutics.

    Abstract Introduction: Kidney biopsy remains the gold standard for the diagnosis of most renal diseases. A major obstacle to performing a biopsy is safety concerns. However, many safety measures are not evidence based and therefore vary widely between centers. We sought to determine the rate and timing of kidney biopsy complications in our center, to compare the complication rate between native and transplant kidney biopsies, to evaluate the feasibility of performing kidney biopsies as an outpatient procedure and the value of a postbiopsy ultrasound before discharge, and to identify risk factors for complications.
    Methods: We performed a single-center, retrospective, observational study at the Division of Nephrology of the University Hospital Zurich including all patients who underwent renal biopsy between January 2005 and December 2017. Major bleeding (primary outcome) and any other bleeding or nonbleeding complications (secondary outcomes) were compared between native and transplant kidney biopsies and between inpatient and outpatient procedures and correlated with clinical factors possibly affecting bleeding risk.
    Results: Overall, 2,239 biopsies were performed in 1,468 patients, 732 as inpatient and 1,507 as outpatient procedures. Major bleeding was observed in 28 (3.8%) inpatient and in 15 (1.0%) outpatient procedures, totaling to 43 (1.9%) of all biopsies. Major bleeding requiring intervention amounted to 1.0% (0.5% of outpatient procedures). Rate of major bleeding was similar between native and transplant kidneys. 13/15 (87%) bleeding episodes in planned outpatient procedures were detected during the 4-h surveillance period. Risk factors for bleeding were aspirin use, low eGFR, anemia, cirrhosis, and amyloidosis. Routine postbiopsy ultrasound did not change management.
    Conclusions: Kidney biopsy is an overall safe procedure and can be performed as an outpatient procedure in most patients with an observation period as short as 4 h. The value of routine postbiopsy ultrasound is questionable.
