    Abstract Orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) is a well-established treatment for patients with liver failure. The shortage of donor organs and postoperative complications remain major obstacles for improving patient survival. Among these complications, acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the most frequent types, contributing to graft loss. The timely detection and reversal of AKI can reduce its adverse influences on graft and patient outcomes. Traditional markers for detecting AKI are often limited with regard to their accuracy and specificity, and the discovery of better AKI markers and therapeutic targets assumes great importance. During past decades, studies directed toward early detection and treatment of AKI in OLT have been available. This review summarizes the evidence of these biomarkers for the prediction, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis stratification of AKI associated with OLT.

    Abstract The efficacy and safety of tacrolimus (TAC) and cyclophosphamide (CTX) in the treatment of idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN) were compared in Chinese adult patients using a meta- analysis of the available literatures. Randomized controlled clinical trials (RCTs) of the treatment of primary IMN with TAC or CTX combined with corticosteroids in the English databases PubMed, Embase and Cochrane, as well as Chinese databases, were searched. Qualified studies were subjected to quality assessment and meta-analysis. A total of 8 RCTs, including 359 Chinese patients, were included in the meta-analysis. The complete remission rate and overall remission rate in the TAC treatment group after 6 months of treatment were higher than those in the CTX treatment group. No significant difference in remission rate was found after 12 months of treatment. There was no significant difference in the adverse reaction between the two groups at the 6th or 12th months. TAC-based treatment was associated with a faster response than CTX at the 6th month, but there was no significant difference between the two groups at 12th month in Chinese adults. Further study is needed to evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of this treatment regimen.

    Abstract The correlations between the clinicopathological features and the long-term outcomes of renal amyloidosis (RA) were analyzed with a view to develop strategies for improving diagnosis and prognosis of RA. We retrospectively reviewed the clinicopathological characteristics of 47 patients diagnosed with RA between 2004 and 2014 at the Wuhan Union Hospital. The data on the renal histology, clinical manifestations, and prognosis of RA patients were retrieved from the hospital records and characteristic patterns were identified. The histological changes in the kidneys were correlated with the clinical manifestations of RA. Additionally, most RA patients in this study had decreased serum levels of κ light chain and increased urine levels of κ and λ light chains as well as presence of M-protein in the urine and serum. Patients with early RA showed no specific pathognomonic symptoms. Bleeding associated with diagnostic renal biopsy was rare. We recommend that the routine work-up of patients aged over 40 years and presenting with non-diabetic nephropathy includes the non-invasive tests for the measurement of serum and urine levels of κ and λ light chains as well as protein electrophoresis tests for the presence of urinary and serum M-protein. Additionally, such patients should undergo renal biopsy screening with Cong-red staining to ensure early diagnosis of RA and improve their survival, since the risk of hemorrhage related to renal biopsy screening is low at early stages of RA.

    Abstract Acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the most prevalent complications among hospitalized coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients. Here, we aim to investigate the causes, risk factors, and outcomes of AKI in COVID-19 patients. We found that angiotensin-converting enzyme II (ACE2) and transmembrane protease serine 2 (TMPRSS2) were mainly expressed by different cell types in the human kidney. However, in autopsy kidney samples, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) nucleoprotein was detected in ACE2

    Abstract Angiopoietins (Angs) are a family of vascular growth factors that share multiple cellular functions related to cell survival, proliferation, and migration. Angs play physiological and pathological roles through the Tie tyrosine kinase receptors. The Ang-Tie signaling pathway participates in the developmental and tumor-induced angiogenesis and is also involved in many disease settings, such as vascular diseases, systemic inflammation, and cancers. Since Angs are widely expressed in the kidney, an enormous amount of research focuses on their roles in the kidney. In this review, we describe the biological functions of the Ang-Tie signaling pathway and summarize their roles in kidney development and maturation, acute and chronic kidney diseases, diabetic nephropathy, lupus nephropathy, hemolytic uremic syndrome, end-stage renal diseases, and renal cell carcinoma. Understanding the molecular mechanisms of Ang-Tie signaling may reveal potential therapeutic targets for preventing or alleviating kidney diseases.

    Abstract Transcytosis is an important intracellular transport process by which multicellular organisms selectively move cargoes from apical to basolateral membranes without disrupting cellular homeostasis. In kidney, macromolecular components in the serum, such as albumin, low-density lipoprotein and immunoglobulins, pass through the glomerular filtration barrier (GFB) and proximal tubular cells (PTCs) by transcytosis. Protein transcytosis plays a vital role in the pathology of albuminuria, which causes progressive destruction of the GFB structure and function. However, the pathophysiological consequences of protein transcytosis in the kidney remain largely unknown. This article summarizes recent researches on the regulation of albumin transcytosis across the GFB and PTCs in both physiological and pathological conditions. Understanding the mechanism of albumin transcytosis may reveal potential therapeutic targets for prevention or alleviation of the pathological consequences of albuminuria.
