    Abstract Introduction: Acute kidney injury (AKI) frequently develops in patients receiving cancer therapy and requires a wide differential diagnosis due to possible role of unique cancer and drug-related factors, in addition to common pre- and post-renal causes. Rapid development of new molecular targeted anti-cancer drugs and immunotherapies has opened unprecedented possibilities of treatment at the price of an increased spectrum of renal side effects.
    Areas covered: The present review aims at providing a state-of-the-art picture of AKI in cancer patient (PubMed and Embase libraries were searched from inception to January 2024), with a focus on differential diagnosis and management of diverse clinical settings. Reports of parenchymal AKI due to glomerular, microvascular, tubular and interstitial damage have been constantly increasing. Complex electrolyte and acid-base disorders can coexist. The role of renal biopsy and possible therapeutic approaches are also discussed.
    Expert opinion: Onconephrology has become an important subspecialty of clinical nephrology, requiring constantly updated skills and a high degree of interdisciplinary integration to tackle diagnostic challenges and even therapeutic and ethical dilemmas. Integrated onconephrological guidelines and availability of biomarkers may provide new tools for management of this unique type of patients in the near future.

    Abstract Despite the recent advances in dialysis technology, mortality rate of chronic uremic patients still remains excessively high: of note, in comparison to age- and sex-matched healthy controls, this frail population shows a higher incidence of infections, cancer, cognitive decline, and, in particular, major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) that represent nowadays the first cause of mortality. Several traditional and nontraditional factors contribute to this increased risk for MACE and accelerated cellular senescence: among these, inflammation has been shown to play a key role. The costimulatory pathway CD40-CD40 Ligand (CD40L) is harmfully activated during inflammation and uremia-associated clinical complications: in particular, the soluble form of CD40L (sCD40L) can bind to the CD40 receptor triggering a cascade of detrimental pathways in immune and nonimmune cells. In this narrative review, we summarize the current concepts of the biological role of the CD40-CD40L pathway in uremia-associated organ dysfunction, focusing on the above-described main causes of mortality. Moreover, we discuss the interaction of the CD40-CD40L pathway with extracellular vesicles, microparticles recently identified as new uremic toxins. The biological effects of sCD40L in MACE, cognitive decline, infections, and cancer will be also briefly commented. Last, based on recent studies and ongoing clinical trials, we herein describe the modulatory activity of adsorptive dialysis membranes in polymethylmethacrylate on CD40-CD40L detrimental activation.

    Abstract Current treatment of primary and secondary glomerulopathies is hampered by many limits and a significant proportion of these disorders still evolves towards end-stage renal disease. A possible answer to this unmet challenge could be represented by therapies with stem cells, which include a variety of progenitor cell types derived from embryonic or adult tissues. Stem cell self-renewal and multi-lineage differentiation ability explain their potential to protect and regenerate injured cells, including kidney tubular cells, podocytes and endothelial cells. In addition, a broad spectrum of anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory actions appears to interfere with the pathogenic mechanisms of glomerulonephritis. Of note, mesenchymal stromal cells have been particularly investigated as therapy for Lupus Nephritis and Diabetic Nephropathy, whereas initial evidence suggest their beneficial effects in primary glomerulopathies such as IgA nephritis. Extracellular vesicles mediate a complex intercellular communication network, shuttling proteins, nucleic acids and other bioactive molecules from origin to target cells to modulate their functions. Stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles recapitulate beneficial cytoprotective, reparative and immunomodulatory properties of parental cells and are increasingly recognized as a cell-free alternative to stem cell-based therapies for different diseases including glomerulonephritis, also considering the low risk for potential adverse effects such as maldifferentiation and tumorigenesis. We herein summarize the renoprotective potential of therapies with stem cells and extracellular vesicles derived from progenitor cells in glomerulonephritis, with a focus on their different mechanisms of actions. Technological progress and growing knowledge are paving the way for wider clinical application of regenerative medicine to primary and secondary glomerulonephritis: this multi-level, pleiotropic therapy may open new scenarios overcoming the limits and side effects of traditional treatments, although the promising results of experimental models need to be confirmed in the clinical setting.

    Abstract Preeclampsia (PE) represents an important cause of acute kidney injury during pregnancy with a high rate of both maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. The presence of endothelial dysfunction is the main cause of PE development; however, the pathogenic mechanisms are not still fully elucidated. A plethora of harmful mediators are released in response to endothelial damage: these circulating molecules (soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase 1, endothelin-1) can exert antiangiogenic and vasoconstrictive effects on distant organs including the kidney. In this scenario, extracellular vesicles (EVs), microparticles released by different types of activated cells and involved in intercellular communication, are produced both in normal pregnancy and PE. The aim of this review is to summarize the modern concepts of PE-associated kidney damage and the potential role of EV in these detrimental mechanisms.

    Abstract Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequent complication of hospital admission and worsens short- and long-term patients' prognosis. Currently, AKI treatment remains supportive and no therapy has proven significant benefit in clinical trials. Stem cells (SCs) are a promising therapeutic option, but their translation to the clinical setting is limited by the risk of rejection or aberrant differentiation. Numerous studies have shown how SC effects are mediated by paracrine factors such as extracellular vesicles (EVs). In this review, we describe the preclinical evidence about EV efficacy in acute tubular and glomerular injury and the recently generated clinical data.

    Abstract Kidney transplantation (KT) is the best treatment for end-stage kidney disease. However, early diagnosis of graft injury remains challenging, mainly because of the lack of accurate and noninvasive diagnostic techniques. Improving graft outcomes is equally demanding, as is the development of innovative therapies. Many research efforts are focusing on extracellular vesicles, cellular particles free in each body fluid that have shown promising results as precise markers of damage and potential therapeutic targets in many diseases, including the renal field. In fact, through their receptors and cargo, they act in damage response and immune modulation. In transplantation, they may be used to determine organ quality and aging, the presence of delayed graft function, rejection, and many other transplant-related pathologies. Moreover, their low immunogenicity and safe profile make them ideal for drug delivery and the development of therapies to improve KT outcomes. In this review, we summarize current evidence about extracellular vesicles in KT, starting with their characteristics and major laboratory techniques for isolation and characterization. Then, we discuss their use as potential markers of damage and as therapeutic targets, discussing their promising use in clinical practice as a form of liquid biopsy.
