    Abstract Background: The association between hyperuricemia and development of progressive chronic kidney disease has received increasing attention in recent years. Recent preclinical studies have shown that non-crystalline uric acid can induce renal-specific arteriolopathy, leading to renal injury and tubulointerstitial inflammation.
    Methods: We conducted a open-label cross-sectional study of 25 patients with chronic kidney disease stage III (estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR], 7.0 mg/dL) levels of serum uric acid. To determine the correlation between hyperuricemia on urinary protein levels and renal disease progression, we retrospectively compared urine protein and eGFR data between the 2 groups.
    Results: Eleven patients with normal uric acid levels and 14 with hyperuricemia were enrolled. Urinary levels of both kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) were significantly higher in patients with hyperuricemia. Among the normouricemic White and African American (AA) subgroups, there was no difference in KIM-1 or MCP-1 levels, whereas KIM-1 levels were significantly higher among hyperuricemic AA patients with hyperuricemia. Urinary protein was significantly higher between Whites and AA patients with serum uric acid level >7.0 mg/dL as well as patients with urinary KIM-1 levels >1000 pg/mg Cr. A trend toward a more rapid decline in eGFR was noted among hyperuricemic AAs; however, this trend was not statistically significant.
    Conclusions: Patients with type 2 diabetic nephropathy and persistently elevated serum uric acid levels express higher levels of both KIM-1 and MCP-1 reflective of on-going renal injury and inflammation.

    Abstract Background: Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is a histologic pattern of injury demonstrated by renal biopsy that can arise from a diverse range of causes and mechanisms. It has an estimated incidence of 7 per 1 million and is the most common primary glomerular disorder leading to end-stage renal disease in the United States. This review focuses on damage to the podocyte and the consequences of this injury in patients with FSGS, the genetics of FSGS, and approaches to treatment with a focus on the effects on podocytes.
    Summary: The podocyte is central to the glomerular filtration barrier and is particularly vulnerable because of its highly differentiated post-mitotic phenotype. The progressive structural changes involved in the pathology of FSGS include podocyte foot process effacement, death of podocytes and exposure of the glomerular basement membrane, filtration of nonspecific plasma proteins, expansion of capillaries, misdirected filtration at points of synechiae, and mesangial matrix proliferation. Although damage to and death of podocytes can result from single-gene disorders, evidence also suggests a role for soluble factors, such as soluble urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor, cardiotrophin-like cytokine-1, and anti-CD40 antibodies, that promote FSGS recurrence post transplant. Several classes of medications, including corticosteroids, calcineurin inhibitors, endothelin receptor antagonists, adrenocorticotropic hormone, and rituximab, have been shown to be effective for the treatment of FSGS and have been demonstrated to have significant protective effects on podocytes. Key Messages: Greater understanding of podocyte biology is essential to the identification of new treatment targets and medications for the management of patients with FSGS.

    Abstract Many patients with immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) progress to kidney failure even with optimal supportive care. An improved understanding of the pathophysiology of IgAN in recent years has led to the investigation of targeted therapies with acceptable tolerability that may address the underlying causes of IgAN or the pathogenesis of kidney injury. The complement system-particularly the lectin and alternative pathways of complement-has emerged as a key mediator of kidney injury in IgAN and a possible target for investigational therapy. This review will focus on the lectin pathway. The examination of kidney biopsies has consistently shown glomerular deposition of mannan-binding lectin (1 of 6 pattern-recognition molecules that activate the lectin pathway) together with IgA1 in up to 50% of patients with IgAN. Glomerular deposition of pattern-recognition molecules for the lectin pathway is associated with more severe glomerular damage and more severe proteinuria and hematuria. Emerging research suggests that the lectin pathway may also contribute to tubulointerstitial fibrosis in IgAN and that collectin-11 is a key mediator of this association. This review summarizes the growing scientific and clinical evidence supporting the role of the lectin pathway in IgAN and examines the possible therapeutic role of lectin pathway inhibition for these patients.

    Abstract Rationale & objective: The incidence of arrhythmia varies by time of day. How this affects individuals on maintenance dialysis is uncertain. Our objective was to quantify the relationship of arrhythmia with the time of day and timing of dialysis.
    Study design: Secondary analysis of the Monitoring in Dialysis study, a multicenter prospective cohort study.
    Settings & participants: Loop recorders were implanted for continuous cardiac monitoring in 66 participants on maintenance dialysis with a follow up of 6 months.
    Exposure: Time of day based on 6-hour intervals.
    Outcomes: Event rates of clinically significant arrhythmia.
    Analytical approach: Negative binomial mixed effects regression models for repeated measures were used to evaluate data from the Monitoring in Dialysis study for differences in diurnal patterns of clinically significant arrhythmia among those with end-stage kidney disease with heart failure and end-stage kidney disease alone. We additionally analyzed rates according to presence of heart failure, time of dialysis shift, and dialysis versus nondialysis day.
    Results: Rates of clinically significant arrhythmia peaked between 12:00 AM and 5:59 AM and were more than 1.5-fold as frequent during this interval than the rest of the day. In contrast, variations in atrial fibrillation peaked between 6:00 AM and 11:59 AM, but variations across the day were qualitatively small. Clinically significant arrhythmia occurred at numerically higher rate in individuals with end-stage kidney disease and heart failure (5.9 events/mo; 95% CI, 1.3-26.8) than those without heart failure (4.0 events/mo; 95% CI, 0.9-17.9). Although differences in overall rate were not significant, their periodicity was significantly different (
    Limitations: Post hoc analysis, unable to account for unmeasured confounders.
    Conclusion: Clinically significant arrhythmias showed strong diurnal patterns with a maximal peak between 12:00 AM and 5:59 AM and noon. Although overall arrhythmia rates were similar, the peak rate occurred overnight in individuals without heart failure and during the morning in individuals with heart failure. Further exploration of the influence of circadian rhythm on arrhythmia in the setting of hemodialysis is needed.

    Abstract Introduction: Patients with IgA nephropathy (IgAN) and persistent proteinuria are at risk of progression to kidney failure. Atacicept is a novel B-cell-targeted immunomodulator, shown to reduce immunoglobulin levels in patients with autoimmune diseases.
    Methods: JANUS (NCT02808429) was a phase II study that assessed the safety, pharmacodynamic effects, and efficacy of atacicept in patients with IgAN and proteinuria ≥1 g/d or 0.75 mg/mg on 24-hour UPCR despite maximal standard of care therapy.
    Results: A total of 16 patients were randomized 1:1:1 to placebo (
    Conclusion: Atacicept has an acceptable safety profile in patients with IgAN and is effective at reducing the levels of pathogenic factor Gd-IgA1, with potential improvements in proteinuria and renal function.

    Abstract Purpose of review: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication of hospitalized patients and associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Numerous studies have documented that acute reductions in glomerular filtration rates are associated with significant in-hospital mortality. Moreover, patients progressing to dialysis-dependent AKI can have mortality rates that exceed 60%. The pathophysiology of AKI is unknown, but marked reductions in corticomedullary blood flow leads to significant reductions in glomerular filtration rate during early phases of the disease. The recognition that hypoperfusion of the outer medulla is common to many forms of AKI and contributes to tubular ischemia has led many investigators to re-examine the use of vasodilators to restore blood flow and stabilize renal function.
    Recent findings: Numerous prospective trials have studied the efficacy of various vasoactive compounds with primarily negative results. However, trial designs that failed to fully examine the dose response of many investigational agents contributed to the development of systemic hypotension, thus offsetting potential benefits of the treatment. Emerging devices that allow for intrarenal administration of drugs have led to the concept of 'targeted renal' prophylaxis and treatment. The rationale is that local renal administration can improve the safety profile of many vasoactive agents. Recent studies confirm that higher doses of fenoldopam or other vasodilators can be administered intrarenally without the development of systemic hypotension.
    Summary: Previous trials utilizing vasodilator therapy to stabilize renal function in AKI have given conflicting results. This study will critically review trial design and dose selection used in previous studies of vasodilator therapy in AKI. Lastly, the potential for high-dose therapy using intrarenal drug delivery systems will be discussed.
