Project description:ObjectiveTo define glomerular filtration rate (GFR) decline, hypertension (HTN), and proteinuria in subjects with autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) and compare with 2 congenital kidney disease control groups in the Chronic Kidney Disease in Children cohort.Study designGFR decline (iohexol clearance), rates of HTN (ambulatory/casual blood pressures), antihypertensive medication usage, left ventricular hypertrophy, and proteinuria were analyzed in subjects with ARPKD (n = 22) and 2 control groups: aplastic/hypoplastic/dysplastic disorders (n = 44) and obstructive uropathies (n = 44). Differences between study groups were examined with the Wilcoxon rank sum test.ResultsAnnualized GFR change in subjects with ARPKD was -1.4 mL/min/1.73 m(2) (-6%), with greater decline in subjects age ≥ 10 years (-11.5%). However, overall rates of GFR decline did not differ significantly in subjects with ARPKD vs controls. There were no significant differences in rates of HTN or left ventricular hypertrophy, but subjects with ARPKD had a greater percent on ≥ 3 blood pressure medications (32% vs 0%, P < .0001), more angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor use (82% vs 27% vs 36%, P < .0005), and less proteinuria (urine protein: creatinine = 0.1 vs 0.6, P < .005).ConclusionsThis study reports rates of GFR decline, HTN, and proteinuria in a small but well-phenotyped ARPKD cohort. The relatively slow rate of GFR decline in subjects with ARPKD and absence of significant proteinuria suggest that these standard clinical measures may have limited utility in assessing therapeutic interventions and highlight the need for other ARPKD kidney disease progression biomarkers.

Project description:Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is a genetic disease of the kidney characterized by the gradual replacement of normal kidney parenchyma by fluid-filled cysts and fibrotic tissue. Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) is caused by mutations in the PKD1 or PKD2 gene. Here we present an RNASeq experiment designed to investigate the effect of a kidney specific and Tamoxifen inducible knockout of the Pkd1 gene in mice. The Pkd1cko mice were harvested at different time points 2-weeks, 3-weeks, 5-weeks, 10.5-weeks, 11-weeks and 15-weeks after gene inactivation.

Project description:Early identification of chronic kidney disease (CKD) provides an opportunity to implement therapies to improve kidney function and slow progression. The goal of this article is to review established and developing clinical therapies directed at slowing progression. The importance of controlling blood pressure will be discussed along with the target blood pressure that should be achieved in CKD patients. Therapy directed at inhibiting the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system remains the mainstay of treatment with single-agent inhibition of this system being as good as dual blockade with fewer adverse effects. Other therapies that may be used include correction of metabolic acidosis, dietary protein restriction, and new models for delivering care to patients with CKD. Emerging therapies targeting endothelin, uric acid, kidney fibrosis, and oxidant stress hold promise for the future.

Project description:Renal M2-like macrophages have critical roles in tissue repair, stimulating tubule cell proliferation and, if they remain, fibrosis. M2-like macrophages have also been implicated in promoting cyst expansion in mouse models of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). While renal macrophages have been documented in human ADPKD, there are no studies in autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD). Here we evaluated the specific phenotype of renal macrophages and their disease-impacting effects on cystic epithelial cells. We found an abundance of M2-like macrophages in the kidneys of patients with either ADPKD or ARPKD and in the cystic kidneys of cpk mice, a model of ARPKD. Renal epithelial cells from either human ADPKD cysts or noncystic human kidneys promote differentiation of naive macrophages to a distinct M2-like phenotype in culture. Reciprocally, these immune cells stimulate the proliferation of renal tubule cells and microcyst formation in vitro. Further, depletion of macrophages from cpk mice indicated that macrophages contribute to PKD progression regardless of the genetic etiology. Thus, M2-like macrophages are two-pronged progression factors in PKD, promoting cyst cell proliferation, cyst growth, and fibrosis. Agents that block the emergence of these cells or their effects in the cystic kidney may be effective therapies for slowing PKD progression.

Project description:Polycystic Kidney Disease Progression Expression Analysis

Project description:Childhood chronic kidney disease commonly progresses toward end-stage renal failure, largely independent of the underlying disorder, once a critical impairment of renal function has occurred. Hypertension and proteinuria are the most important independent risk factors for renal disease progression. Therefore, current therapeutic strategies to prevent progression aim at controlling blood pressure and reducing urinary protein excretion. Renin-angiotensin-system (RAS) antagonists preserve kidney function not only by lowering blood pressure but also by their antiproteinuric, antifibrotic, and anti-inflammatory properties. Intensified blood pressure control, probably aiming for a target blood pressure below the 75th percentile, may exert additional renoprotective effects. Other factors contributing in a multifactorial manner to renal disease progression include dyslipidemia, anemia, and disorders of mineral metabolism. Measures to preserve renal function should therefore also comprise the maintenance of hemoglobin, serum lipid, and calcium-phosphorus ion product levels in the normal range.

Project description:BackgroundUromodulin is specifically synthesized and secreted by kidney tubular epithelial cells. Studies on the association of serum uromodulin and outcomes of chronic kidney disease (CKD) are lacking. This study aimed to evaluate whether serum uromodulin was associated with outcomes of patients with CKD.MethodsWe measured serum uromodulin concentrations by ELISA in 2652 CKD patients from the Chinese Cohort Study of Chronic Kidney Disease (C-STRIDE) and investigated the association of serum uromodulin with outcomes of CKD patients, including end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) receiving kidney replacement therapy, cardiovascular events and mortality by Cox proportional hazards regression model.ResultsA total of 2652 CKD patients were enrolled in this study, with an age of 48.7?±?13.8 years and the baseline eGFR of 49.6?±?29.4 mL/min/1.73 m2, of whom 58.4% were male. The median level of urinary albumin/creatinine ratio and serum uromodulin was 473.7 mg/g (IQR 134.1-1046.6 mg/g) and 77.2 ng/mL (IQR 48.3-125.9 ng/mL), respectively. Altogether, 404 ESKD, 189 cardiovascular events, and 69 deaths occurred during the median follow-up of 53.6 (IQR 44.0-64.0) months. Lower levels of serum uromodulin were independently associated with higher risk of incident ESKD after adjusting for traditional cardiovascular risk factors, with the hazard ratios (HRs) of 3.23 (95% confidence intervals [CIs] 2.15-4.85) for the middle tertile and 7.47 (95% CI 5.06-11.03) for the bottom tertile, compared with top tertile and 0.31 (95% CI 0.25-0.38) per every standard deviation increase. After further adjustment for the baseline eGFR, the association was greatly attenuated, but still significant, with HRs of 1.92 (95% CI 1.26-2.90) for the bottom tertile compared with top tertile and 0.69 (95% CI 0.55-0.86) per every standard deviation increase.ConclusionsSerum uromodulin is independently associated with an increased risk of incident ESKD in CKD patients.

Project description:BackgroundAutosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease is a lifelong progressive disorder. However, how age, blood pressure, and stage of chronic kidney disease (CKD) affect the rate of kidney function deterioration is not clearly understood.MethodsIn this long-term observational case study up to 13.9 years (median observation period for slope was 3.3 years), serum creatinine was serially measured in 255 mostly adult patients. The glomerular filtration rate was estimated (eGFR) using a modified Modification of Diet in Renal Disease Study method. The total kidney volume (TKV) has been measured in 86 patients at one center since 2006.ResultsAs age increased, eGFR declined significantly (P < 0.0001), but the annual rate of decline of eGFR did not correlate with age or initially measured eGFR. In patients with CKD stage 1, eGFR declined at a rate which was not significantly different from other advanced CKD stages. Hypertensive patients had lower eGFR and larger TKV than normotensive patients at a young adult age. The slopes of regression lines of eGFR and TKV in relation to age were not different between high and normal blood pressure groups.ConclusionThe declining rate of eGFR was relatively constant and did not correlate with age or eGFR after adolescence. eGFR was already low in young adult patients with hypertension. As age increased after adolescence, eGFR declined and TKV increased similarly between normal and high blood pressure groups. eGFR starts to decline in patients with normal eGFR, suggesting that the decline starts earlier than previously thought.

Project description:Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has been recognized as a leading public health problem worldwide. Through its effect on cardiovascular risk and end-stage kidney disease, CKD directly affects the global burden of morbidity and mortality. Classical optimal management of CKD includes blood pressure control, treatment of albuminuria with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin II receptor blockers, avoidance of potential nephrotoxins and obesity, drug dosing adjustments, and cardiovascular risk reduction. Diabetes might account for more than half of CKD burden, and obesity is the most important prompted factor for this disease. New antihyperglycemic drugs, such as sodium-glucose-cotransporter 2 inhibitors have shown to slow the decline of GFR, bringing additional benefit in weight reduction, cardiovascular, and other kidney outcomes. On the other hand, a new generation of non-steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist has recently been developed to obtain a selective receptor inhibition reducing side effects like hyperkalemia and thereby making the drugs suitable for administration to CKD patients. Moreover, two new potassium-lowering therapies have shown to improve tolerance, allowing for higher dosage of renin-angiotensin system inhibitors and therefore enhancing their nephroprotective effect. Regardless of its cause, CKD is characterized by reduced renal regeneration capacity, microvascular damage, oxidative stress and inflammation, resulting in fibrosis and progressive, and irreversible nephron loss. Therefore, a holistic approach should be taken targeting the diverse processes and biological contexts that are associated with CKD progression. To date, therapeutic interventions when tubulointerstitial fibrosis is already established have proved to be insufficient, thus research effort should focus on unraveling early disease mechanisms. An array of novel therapeutic approaches targeting epigenetic regulators are now undergoing phase II or phase III trials and might provide a simultaneous regulatory activity that coordinately regulate different aspects of CKD progression.

Project description:Chronic kidney disease (CKD) will progress to end stage without treatment, but the decline of renal function may not be linear. Compared with glomerular filtration rate and proteinuria, new surrogate markers, such as kidney injury molecule-1, neutrophil gelatinase-associated protein, apolipoprotein A-IV, and soluble urokinase receptor, may allow potential intervention and treatment in the earlier stages of CKD, which could be useful for clinical trials. New omic-based technologies reveal potential new genomic and epigenomic mechanisms that appear different from those causing the initial disease. Various clinical studies also suggest that acute kidney injury is a major risk for progressive CKD. To ameliorate the progression of CKD, the first step is optimizing renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system blockade. New drugs targeting endothelin, transforming growth factor-β, oxidative stress, and inflammatory- and cell-based regenerative therapy may have add-on benefit.
