BACKGROUNDPreeclampsia, a systemic hypertensive disorder of pregnancy, has been associated with the risk of kidney failure, an outcome that may take decades to develop. However, its association with early kidney disease, which could be targeted for intervention, remains underexplored. Here we quantified the risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD), defined by laboratory markers of kidney damage, in women who had a pregnancy complicated by preeclampsia versus a pregnancy without preeclampsia.METHODSPopulation-based cohort study in Stockholm, Sweden, using inverse probability of treatment weights to minimize confounding. All nulliparous women who had at least one pregnancy ending in live or stillbirth between January 1, 2006, and December 31, 2020 were identified, excluding pre-existing hypertension, diabetes or CKD. Primary outcomes were (1) albuminuria defined by urine albumin to creatinine ratio >300mg/g; (2) estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR)<60ml/min/1.73m2; and (3) composite of albuminuria>300mg/g and/or eGFR<60ml/min/1.73m2.RESULTSThe study included 171,693 pregnancies (170 192 women: mean [SD] age, 29[5] years), of whom 10,538 (6%) had at least one pregnancy complicated by preeclampsia. During median follow up of 7.0 years (IQR, 3.3-10.5), albuminuria >300mg/g occurred after 775 pregnancies (0.5%), eGFR <60ml/min/1.73m2 occurred after 248 pregnancies (0.1%), and the composite outcome occurred after 985 pregnancies (0.6%). Incidence rates per 1,000 person-years were higher after preeclampsia vs no preeclampsia for albuminuria>300mg/g (1.53 vs 0.57), eGFR<60ml/min/1.73m2 (0.52 vs 0.18), and the composite outcome (2.00 vs 0.73). Weighted hazard ratios were 2.53 (95% CI, 2.04-3.13) for albuminuria>300mg/g, 2.18 (95% CI, 1.49-3.19) for eGFR<60 mL/min/1.73 m2, and 2.43 (95% CI, 2.01-2.95) for the composite outcome. In the first postpartum year, 2080 (20%) and 1043 (10%) of women with preeclampsia had serum creatinine or urine albumin testing, respectively.CONCLUSIONSPreeclampsia is associated with higher risk of laboratory signs of early kidney damage. There were low rates of postpartum kidney function monitoring.

Aldosterone escape refers to the spontaneous and compensatory diuresis that occurs in primary aldosteronism to correct and rebalance fluid homeostasis during conditions of sodium retention. Although widely observed in humans and animals, the precise mechanisms underpinning aldosterone escape remain unclear. The escape phenomenon is clinically relevant as primary aldosteronism affects nearly one in ten hypertensive adults and is associated with a two-fold higher risk of stroke and atrial fibrillation. Studying the phenomenon provides additional insights into the intricate physiology of renal sodium handling that may inform future development of novel therapeutics. This review is a modern account of the complex interplay of renal hemodynamics, hormonal signaling, paracrine modulation, and tubular adaptations underlying aldosterone escape. By re-examining classical and emerging mechanisms, including the With-No-Lysine (WNK) kinase system as a potassium-sensitive distal homeostasis mechanism, we suggest a general framework for this remarkable phenomenon.

Alport syndrome is a progressive, hereditary disorder of basement membranes caused by variants in genes encoding the α 3, α 4, or α 5 chains of type IV collagen ( COL4A3, COL4A4 , and COL4A5 ) leading to glomerulopathy, kidney failure, hearing loss, and eye abnormalities. The absence or dysfunction of the α 3- α 4- α 5 (IV) heterotrimer triggers multiple compensatory and detrimental pathways within all layers of the glomerular filtration barrier. Developing a therapeutic strategy for patients with Alport syndrome depends on understanding these mechanisms of disease progression that are predominant at different times throughout the disease course. These strategies may include reconstitution of the α 3- α 4- α 5 (IV) network in the glomerular basement membrane, reducing biomechanical strain and glomerular hyperfiltration, chaperone therapy, blocking aberrant signaling between the glomerular basement membrane and podocytes, reducing endothelial cell injury, reducing inflammation, and blocking fibrosis pathways.
