Introduction and aim
Hepatitis C virus infection and chronic kidney disease are major public health issues all over the world. It has been suggested a role of HCV as a risk factor for the development and progression of chronic kidney disease (defined by reduced glomerular filtration rate and/or detectable proteinuria) in the general population but conflicting findings have been given.
Material and methods
A systematic review of the published medical literature was conducted to assess whether positive HCV serologic status is associated with greater rate of proteinuria in the adult general population. We used a random-effect model to generate a summary estimate of the relative risk of proteinuria with HCV across the published studies.
Results
We identified 23 studies (n = 198,967 unique patients) and performed separate meta-analyses according to the study design. Overall effect estimate was significant in cross-sectional (OR, 1.47, 95%CI, 1.3; 1.66) (P < 0.001) and obvious between-study heterogeneity was observed (Q value by Chi-squared [χ2] test 27.3, P = 0.02). The risk of proteinuria after exposure to HCV was also consistent among longitudinal studies (HR, 1.79, 95% CI, 1.17; 2.74) (P < 0.001) and between-study heterogeneity occurred (Q value, 27.82 by X2 test, P = 0.0001). Stratified analysis did not report heterogeneity in several comparisons-pooling studies based on urine protein/creatinine ratio (UACR) showed that the adjusted OR with HCV was 1.64 (95% CI, 1.41; 1.91, P < 0.001) without heterogeneity (Q value by Chi-squared [χ2] test 9.98, P = NS). Meta-regression recorded a link between greater prevalence of proteinuria in males with HCV exposure (P = 0.03). Studies based on univariate analysis (n = 6, n = 72, 551 unique patients) gave similar results, pooled OR 1.54 (95% CI, 1.08; 2.19) (P = 0.0001).
Conclusions
An important relationship between HCV infection and higher risk of proteinuria in the general population exists. Research aimed to understand the biological mechanisms underlying such association is under way. We encourage to screen all patients with HCV exposure for proteinuria.

Background and objective
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) reflect the pathophysiological state of their cells of origin and are a reservoir of renal information accessible in urine. When biopsy is not an option, EVs present themselves as sentinels of function and damage, providing a non-invasive approach. However, the analysis of EVs in urine requires prior isolation, which slows down and hinders translation to clinical practice. The aim of this study is to show the applicability of the “single particle interferometric reflectance imaging sensor” (SP-IRIS) technology through the ExoView® platform for the direct analysis of urine EVs and proteins involved in renal function.
Materials and methods
The ExoView® technology enables the quantification and phenotyping of EVs present in urine and the quantification of their membrane and internal proteins. We have applied this technology to the quantification of urinary EVs and their proteins with renal tubular expression, amnionless (AMN) and secreted frizzled-related protein 1 (SFRP1), using only 5 μl of urine. Tubular expression was confirmed by immunohistochemistry.
Results
The mean size of the EVs analysed was 59 ± 16 nm for those captured by tetraspanin CD63, 61 ± 16 nm for those captured by tetraspanin CD81, and 59 ± 10 nm for tetraspanin CD9, with CD63 being the majority EVs subpopulation in urine (48.92%). The distribution of AMN and SFRP1 in the three capture tetraspanins turned out to be similar for both proteins, being expressed mainly in CD63 (48.23% for AMN and 52.1% for SFRP1).
Conclusions
This work demonstrates the applicability and advantages of the ExoView® technique for the direct analysis of urine EVs and their protein content in relation to the renal tubule. The use of minimum volumes, 5 μl, and the total analysis time not exceeding three hours facilitate the translation of EVs to daily clinical practice as source of diagnostic information.

The multidimensional view of the disease is fundamental in the care of complex diseases such as chronic kidney disease (CKD). It is appropriate to define and unify concepts that allow the different professionals involved in care to provide multidisciplinary care tailored to the needs of each individual.
Given the increasing incidence of CKD worldwide and the fact that the disease may progress at different rates, there is a need to establish personalized, comprehensive approaches for each patient and their families at an earlier stage. This approach goes beyond the simple control of uremic symptoms or congestion and consists of addressing not only symptomatic but also functional, social and coping problems at an early stage, facilitating decision making both in the CKD and in acute settings, potentially irreversible situations or interventions that do not improve life expectancy.
To ensure excellence in care, it is important to assess indicators of palliative care and renal support, such as the presence of advance and shared care planning, the inclusion of psychosocial, ethical, spiritual and bereavement care. This enables the provision of comprehensive, humanized, and high-quality care for patients and their families.
Palliative and renal care is not just about patients in the last days of life. Defining, unifying, and evaluating the concepts will allow them to be applied in a timely manner at each specific moment of the CKD trajectory.

Classically, aldosterone actions are associated with the stability of the effective circulating volume and with blood pressure control, while parathormone actions are linked to bone mineral metabolism, calcium, and phosphate homeostasis. Nevertheless, the relationship between these two hormonal axes surpasses these areas. A bidirectional interrelation between calcium-phosphorus metabolism and blood pressure control can lead to alterations in both. This can have significant implications for the evolution and treatment of patients. To illustrate this relationship, we present two clinical cases that demonstrate the pathophysiology involved.
