    Abstract Sepsis is a significant cause for mortality among critically ill patients. Metabolic derangements that develop in sepsis are often considered to be pathologic, contributing to sepsis morbidity and mortality. However, alterations in metabolism during sepsis are multifaceted and are incompletely understood. Acute anorexia during infection is an evolutionarily conserved response, suggesting a potential protective role of anorexia in the host response to infection. In animal models of bacterial inflammation, fasting metabolic programs associated with acute anorexia such as those regulated by fibroblast growth factor 21 and ketogenesis are associated with improved survival. Other fasting metabolic pathways such as fatty acid oxidation and autophagy are also implicated in preventing acute kidney injury (AKI). Global metabolic changes during sepsis and current clinical interventions can potentially affect disease tolerance mechanisms and modify the risk of AKI.

    Abstract Background: Sepsis continues to cause significant morbidity and mortality despite technological advancements in medical management. While sepsis is defined as organ dysfunction owing to the dysregulated host response to infection, our understanding of the dysregulation of the host response remains incomplete.
    Summary: Many metabolic derangements that occur during sepsis, including those associated with anorexia, hyperglycemia, and proteolysis, have largely been considered maladaptive. Supportive medical and nutritional interventions targeted at correcting these metabolic derangements have not led to improved outcomes, suggesting a reappraisal of our approach to metabolism and nutrition in critically ill septic patients is needed.
    Key messages: Explanations of the lack of efficacy of these clinical interventions may include targeting the wrong metric or patient population, or the possibility that some of these metabolic changes could be protective. In this mini-review, we propose a paradigm shift that is needed in metabolism and nutrition management in sepsis.

    Abstract The development of acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients with sepsis causes significant morbidity and mortality. The pathogenesis of AKI in sepsis is incompletely understood. In this issue of the JCI, Hato et al. investigate the renal translatome during bacterial sepsis and identify the global shutdown of renal protein translation mediated by the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2-α kinase 2/eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2α (EIF2AK2/eIF2α) axis as a major pathway in mediating septic AKI. The results of this study suggest that inhibiting this pathway could be a potential therapeutic strategy for preventing septic AKI.

    Abstract Purpose of review: To discuss how nutritional management could be optimized to promote protective metabolism in sepsis and associated acute kidney injury.
    Recent findings: Recent evidence suggests that sepsis is a metabolically distinct critical illness and that certain metabolic alterations, such as activation of fasting metabolism, may be protective in bacterial sepsis. These findings may explain the lack of survival benefit in recent randomized controlled trials of nutrition therapy for critical illness. These trials are limited by cohort heterogeneity, combining both septic and nonseptic critical illness, and the use of inaccurate caloric estimates to determine energy requirements. These energy estimates are also unable to provide information on specific substrate preferences or the capacity for substrate utilization. As a result, high protein feeding beyond the capacity for protein synthesis could cause harm in septic patients. Excess glucose and insulin exposures suppress fatty acid oxidation, ketogenesis and autophagy, of which emerging evidence suggest are protective against sepsis associated organ damage such as acute kidney injury.
    Summary: Distinguishing pathogenic and protective sepsis-related metabolic changes are critical to enhancing and individualizing nutrition management for critically ill patients.

    Abstract Mitochondrial hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA synthase 2 (HMGCS2) is the rate-limiting enzyme in ketogenesis. The liver expresses high levels of HMGCS2 constitutively as the main ketogenic organ. It has been suggested that the kidney could be ketogenic as HMGCS2 is expressed in the kidney during fasting and diabetic conditions. However, definitive proof of the capacity for the kidney to produce ketones is lacking. We demonstrated that during fasting, HMGCS2 expression is induced in the proximal tubule of the kidney and is peroxisome proliferator activated receptor-α dependent. Mice with kidney-specific

    Abstract Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a growing global health concern, yet no treatment is currently available to prevent it or to promote kidney repair after injury. Animal models demonstrate that the macrophage is a major contributor to the inflammatory response to AKI. Emerging data from human biopsies also corroborate the presence of macrophages in AKI and their persistence in progressive chronic kidney disease. Macrophages are phagocytic innate immune cells that are important mediators of tissue homeostasis and host defense. In response to tissue injury, macrophages become activated based on specific signals from the damaged microenvironment. The activation and functional state of the macrophage depends on the stage of tissue injury and repair, reflecting a dynamic and diverse spectrum of macrophage phenotypes. In this review, we highlight our current understanding of the mechanisms by which macrophages contribute to injury and repair after AKI.

    Abstract Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common hospital complication. There are no effective treatments to minimize kidney injury or limit associated morbidity and mortality. Currently, serum creatinine and urine output remain the gold standard used clinically in the diagnosis of AKI. Several novel biomarkers can diagnose AKI earlier than elevations of serum creatinine and changes in urine output. Recent long-term observational studies have elucidated a subgroup of patients who have positive biomarkers of AKI but do not meet criteria for AKI by serum creatinine or urine output, termed subclinical AKI. These patients with subclinical AKI have increased risk of both short- and long-term mortality. In this review, we will highlight the implications of what these patients may represent and the need for better phenotyping of AKI by etiology, severity of injury, and ability to recover. We will discuss two AKI biomarkers, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) and breast regression protein-39 (BRP-39)/YKL-40, that exemplify the need to characterize the complexity of the biological meaning behind the biomarker, beyond elevated levels reporting on tissue injury. Ultimately, careful phenotyping of AKI will lead to identification of therapeutic targets and appropriate patient populations for clinical trials.

    Abstract Objective: To compare the surgical outcomes and complications of boys who underwent double-face onlay-tube-onlay transverse preputial island flap (DFOTO) one-stage repair vs. two-stage repair for proximal hypospadias.
    Study design: Males with proximal hypospadias who underwent DFOTO or two-stage repair at a single institution from 2008 to 2021 were identified. Patients who had prior hypospadias surgery were excluded. Outcomes were surgical complications, number of surgical procedures, operative time, and post-operative uroflowmetry results.
    Results: Fifty-three males who underwent DFOTO and 39 who underwent two-stage repair were included. Median age at surgery was 1.1 years (IQR 0.83-1.6) and median follow-up was 3.0 years (IQR 1.2-6.8). Although not statistically significant, the DFOTO group had higher rates of urethrocutaneous fistula (30% vs. 15%, p = 0.10), urethral stricture (15% vs. 3%, p = 0.07) and urethral diverticulum (8% vs. 3%, p = 0.39). Although the unplanned re-operation rate was higher in DFOTO (58% vs. 33%, p = 0.02), the mean number of procedures and median total surgical time were lower in DFOTO (1.8 ± 0.9 vs. 2.4 ± 0.8, p = 0.0004; 337 min [IQR 278-460] vs. 468 min [IQR 400-563], p = 0.008). There were no significant differences between groups for mean peak flow rates and post void residuals.
    Conclusions: In males who underwent DFOTO, 42% achieved completion of their proximal hypospadias repair with one operation, while the remainder had largely minor complications. Accounting for reoperation rates, the mean number of procedures per patient was lower in the DFOTO group. Comparable results can be achieved with both techniques; the risks of higher unplanned operation rates in the DFOTO group should be considered with the benefit of fewer total procedures.

    Abstract Acute ischemic kidney injury is a common complication in hospitalized patients. No treatment is yet available for augmenting kidney repair or preventing progressive kidney fibrosis. Animal models of acute kidney injury demonstrate that activation of the innate immune system plays a major role in the systemic response to ischemia/reperfusion injury. Macrophage depletion studies suggest that macrophages, key participants in the innate immune response, augment the initial injury after reperfusion but also promote tubular repair and contribute to long-term kidney fibrosis after ischemic injury. The distinct functional outcomes seen following macrophage depletion at different time points after ischemia/reperfusion injury suggest heterogeneity in macrophage activation states. Identifying the pathways that regulate the transitions of macrophage activation is thus critical for understanding the mechanisms that govern both macrophage-mediated injury and repair in the postischemic kidney. This review examines our understanding of the complex and intricately controlled pathways that determine monocyte recruitment, macrophage activation, and macrophage effector functions after renal ischemia/reperfusion injury. Careful delineation of repair and resolution pathways could provide therapeutic targets for the development of effective treatments to offer patients with acute kidney injury.
