A comprehensive review of known uremic retention molecules goes back to more than 10 years ago and did not consider metabolomic analyses. The present analysis searches for as of yet unclassified solutes retained in chronic kidney disease (CKD) by analyzing metabolites associated with relevant outcomes of CKD. This untargeted metabolomics-based approach is compared with a conventional targeted literature search. For the selected molecules, the literature was screened for arguments regarding toxic (harmful), beneficial, or neutral effects in experimental or clinical studies. Findings were independently crosschecked. In total, 103 molecules were selected. No literature on any effect was found for 55 substances, 3 molecules had no significant effect, and 13 others showed beneficial effects. For the remaining 32 compounds, we found at least one report of a toxic effect. Whereas 62.5% of the compounds with at least one study on a toxic effect was retrieved via the bottom-up approach, 69.2% of the substances originating from metabolomics-based approaches showed a beneficial effect. Our results suggest that untargeted metabolomics offer a more balanced view of uremic retention than the targeted approaches, with higher chances of revealing the beneficial potential of some of the metabolites.

Amanita phalloides-related kidney toxicity is poorly documented and remains to be elucidated. Herein, we describe the case of a 43-year old patient who presented with severe liver failure following the ingestion of Amanita phalloides. Although liver injury subsided following the administration of N-acetyl cystein and silibinin, the patient subsequently developed KDIGO stage 3 acute kidney injury. Histopathological examination of the kidney displayed moderate tubular injury characterized by dilated tubular lumens and flattening of the tubular epithelium on optic microscopy. Electron microscopy showed mitochondrial changes including swelling and decreased number of cristae. Immunofluorescence for the key mitochondrial protein TOM20 found significantly decreased expression compared with ischemic acute tubular injury. Despite these changes, histoenzymology showed preserved succinate cytochrome c oxidase (COX) expression, suggesting that mitochondrial complex IV function was maintained. Our findings suggest that Amanita phalloides elicits acute tubular injury via mitochondrial damage, possibly through a pathway that spares COX function.
Plain-Language Summary
Kidney damage caused by Amanita phalloides (death cap mushroom) is not well understood. We report the case of a 43-year-old patient who experienced severe liver failure after eating this mushroom. While treatment with N-acetyl cysteine and silibinin improved the liver damage, the patient later developed severe kidney injury. Tests on the kidney showed damage to its tubules inside, with changes in their structure under a microscope. Closer examination revealed that the energy-producing parts of the cells, called mitochondria, were swollen and had fewer folds (cristae), which are essential for energy production. However, one key mitochondrial function, involving an enzyme called complex IV, appeared to be unaffected.This case suggests that the death cap mushroom may harm kidneys by damaging mitochondria in a way that leaves certain functions intact.

Although liver injury subsided following the administration of N-acetyl cystein and silibinin, the patient subsequently developed KDIGO stage 3 acute kidney injury. Histopathological examination of the kidney displayed moderate tubular injury characterized by dilated tubular lumens and flattening of the tubular epithelium on optic microscopy. Electron microscopy showed mitochondrial changes including swelling and decreased number of cristae. Immunofluorescence for the key mitochondrial protein TOM20 found significantly decreased expression compared with ischemic acute tubular injury. Despite these changes, histoenzymology showed preserved succinate cytochrome c oxidase (COX) expression, suggesting that mitochondrial complex IV function was maintained.

Women with kidney failure experience pathophysiological changes that frequently result in disruption of the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis. Because of these hormonal disturbances, women with kidney disease often experience oligomenorrhea, amenorrhea, sexual dysfunction, and infertility. Preconception counseling, partnered with the early identification and optimal management of risk factors, such as hypertension and discontinuation of teratogenic medications, should be pursued for females contemplating conception. Pregnancy in women receiving maintenance dialysis is associated with a high risk of adverse maternal and fetal outcomes and should be managed by a multidisciplinary team of providers. In this review article, we discuss pregnancy incidence, pregnancy outcomes, and management of pregnancy among women receiving maintenance dialysis.
