Incremental peritoneal dialysis (IPD) refers to the use of less than standard full-dose peritoneal dialysis (SPD) in end-stage renal disease patients. While the use of IPD is being reported in the literature, its safety and efficacy vs. SPD is unclear. We hereby performed a systematic review of studies comparing mortality, peritonitis, technique survival, anuria-free survival and residual renal function (RRF) between IPD and SPD. All comparative studies published on PubMed, Embase, CENTRAL, Scopus, and Web of Science databases from inception to 5th September 2023 and reporting on given outcomes were eligible. Ten studies were included. Definitions of IPD were heterogenous and hence mostly a qualitative synthesis was undertaken. Majority of studies found no difference in patient survival between IPD and SPD. Meta-analysis of crude mortality data also presented no significant difference. Peritonitis and technique survival were also not significantly different between IPD and SPD in the majority of studies. Data on RRF was conflicting. Some studies showed that IPD was associated with the preservation of RRF while others found no such difference. IPD may be a safe alternative to SPD in incident dialysis patients. There seems to be no difference in patient survival, peritonitis, and technique survival between the two modalities. However, the impact of IPD on RRF is still questionable. Evidence is heterogeneous and conflicting to derive firm conclusions.
增量腹膜透析（IPD）是指在终末期肾病患者中使用少于标准的全剂量腹膜透析（SPD）。虽然有文献报道使用 IPD，但其安全性和有效性与 SPD 相比尚不明确。在此，我们对比较 IPD 和 SPD 的死亡率、腹膜炎、技术存活率、无尿存活率和残余肾功能（RRF）的研究进行了系统性回顾。所有在 PubMed、Embase、CENTRAL、Scopus 和 Web of Science 数据库中发表的、从开始到 2023 年 9 月 5 日期间报告特定结果的比较研究均符合条件。共纳入 10 项研究。IPD的定义各不相同，因此主要采用定性综合的方法。大多数研究发现，IPD 和 SPD 的患者存活率没有差异。对粗死亡率数据进行的 Meta 分析也没有发现明显差异。在大多数研究中，IPD 和 SPD 的腹膜炎和技术存活率也没有明显差异。有关 RRF 的数据相互矛盾。一些研究表明，IPD 与 RRF 的保留有关，而另一些研究则发现两者之间没有差异。对于偶发性透析患者来说，IPD 可能是 SPD 的安全替代方案。两种方式在患者存活率、腹膜炎和技术存活率方面似乎没有差异。但是，IPD 对 RRF 的影响仍然值得怀疑。证据不一，相互矛盾，无法得出确定的结论。

Fibronectin glomerulopathy (FNG) is a rare autosomal dominant glomerulopathy that can lead to nephrotic syndrome. Here we report the case of an elderly patient diagnosed with FNG, exhibiting nephrotic-range proteinuria, with a 2-year follow-up. A 75-year-old Korean female visited the nephrology clinic after experiencing generalized edema for 2 months. Her serum creatinine was 1.36 mg/dL, and urine protein-to-creatinine ratio was 3.99 g/g. Kidney biopsy revealed mesangial and subendothelial dense deposits, and immunohistochemistry for fibronectin showed strong positivity in the glomerulus. The patient’s family history included non-specific renal disease in her mother and two siblings. Genetic testing of the fibronectin 1 (FN1) gene showed Y973C mutation. She received conservative treatment, including angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARB). Two years after biopsy, the patient has preserved renal function and reduced proteinuria. We report the case of a 75-year-old patient with nephrotic-range proteinuria, who was diagnosed with FNG, and found to harbor a FN1 gene mutation. In this case, conservative treatment including ARB yielded reduction of proteinuria and preservation of renal function.

Although the patient survival rate for many malignancies has been improved with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), some patients experience various immune-related adverse events (irAEs). IrAEs impact several organ systems, including the kidney. With anti-programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) therapy (pembrolizumab), kidney-related adverse events occur relatively rarely compared with other irAEs. However, the occurrence of AKI usually leads to anti-PD-1 therapy interruption or discontinuation. Therefore, there is an urgent need to clarify the mechanisms of renal irAEs (R-irAEs) to facilitate early management. This study aimed to analyse the characteristics of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) in R-irAEs. PBMCs were collected from three patients who developed R-irAEs after anti-PD-1 therapy and three patients who did not. The PBMCs were subjected to scRNA-seq to identify cell clusters and differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) and gene ontology (GO) enrichment analyses were performed to investigate the most active biological processes in immune cells. Fifteen cell clusters were identified across the two groups. FOS, RPS26, and JUN were the top three upregulated genes in CD4+ T cells. The DEGs in CD4+ T cells were enriched in Th17 differentiation, Th1 and Th2 cell differentiation, NF-kappa B, Nod-like receptor, TNF, IL-17, apoptosis, and NK cell-mediated cytotoxicity signaling pathways. RPS26, TRBV25-1, and JUN were the top three upregulated genes in CD8+ T cells. The DEGs in CD8+ T cells were enriched in Th17 cell differentiation, antigen processing and presentation, natural killer cell-mediated cytotoxicity, the intestinal immune network for IgA production, the T-cell receptor signalling pathway, Th1 and Th2 cell differentiation, the phagosome, and cell adhesion molecules. In conclusion, R-irAEs are associated with immune cell dysfunction. DEGs and their enriched pathways identified in CD4+ T cells and CD8+ T cells play important roles in the development of renal irAEs related to anti-PD-1 therapy. These findings offer fresh perspectives on the pathogenesis of renal damage caused by anti-PD-1 therapy.

Understanding the patient perspective of frailty is critical to offering holistic patient-centred care. Rehabilitation strategies for patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) and frailty are limited in their ability to overcome patient-perceived barriers to participation, resulting in high rates of drop-out and non-adherence. The aim of this study was to explore patient perspectives and preferences regarding experiences with rehabilitation to inform a CKD/Frailty rehabilitation model. This qualitative study involved two focus groups, six individual semi-structured interviews and three caregiver semi-structured interviews with lived experience of advanced kidney disease and frailty. Interviews were recorded, transcribed, and coded for meaningful concepts and analysed using inductive thematic analysis using constant comparative method of data analysis employing Social Cognitive Theory. Six major themes emerged including accommodating frailty is an act of resilience, exercise is endorsed for rehabilitation but existing programs have failed to meet end-users’ needs. Rehabilitation goals were framed around return to normative behaviours and rehabilitation should have a social dimension, offering understanding for “people like us”. Participants reported on barriers and disruptors to frailty rehabilitation in the CKD context. Participants valued peer-to-peer education, the camaraderie of socialisation and the benefit of feedback for maintaining motivation. Patients undertaking dialysis described the commodity of time and the burden of unresolved symptoms as barriers to participation. Participants reported difficulty envisioning strategies for frailty rehabilitation, maintaining a focus on the immediate and avoidance of future uncertainty. Frailty rehabilitation efforts in CKD should leverage shared experiences, address comorbidity and symptom burden and focus on goals with normative value.

Frailty and its components are proposed to associate with kidney function, but little attention is paid to the significance of changes in their status on rapid loss of kidney function. This study aimed to investigate the association between changes in frailty and its components status with rapid loss of renal function. This study used data from China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS). Frailty status was measured using the Fried frailty phenotype (FP) scale, including five components: slowness, weakness, exhaustion, inactivity, and shrinking. Frailty status was further classified into three levels: robust (0 component), prefrail (1–2 components) and frail (3–5 components). Changes in frailty status were assessed by frailty status at baseline and 4- year follow-up. Rapid loss of kidney function was defined as a rate of estimate glomerular filtration rate(eGFR) decline ≥ 4 ml/min per 1.73 m2per year. Logistic regression models were performed to assess the association between changes in frailty status and its components status with rapid eGFR decline. A total of 2705 participants were included with 316 (11.68%) participants categorized as rapid eGFR decline during the 4-year follow-up. Compared with baseline prefrail participants who progressed to frail, prefrail participants who maintained prefrail or recovered to robust status had decreased risks of rapid eGFR decline (stable prefrail status, OR = 0.608, 95% CI: 0.396–0.953; recover to robust, OR = 0.476, 95% CI: 0.266–0.846). In contrast, among baseline robust or frail participants, we did not find changes in frailty status significantly affect the risks of rapid loss of kidney function. Moreover, participants who experienced incident weakness showed the significant relationship with an increased risk of rapid eGFR decline (OR = 1.531, 95% CI: 1.051–2.198) compared to stable non-weakness participants. Other changes of frailty components status did not significantly affect the risks of rapid eGFR decline. The progression of frailty status increases the risks of rapid eGFR decline among prefrail populations. Preventing weakness, may benefit kidney function.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with higher incidence of major surgery. No studies have evaluated the association between preoperative kidney function and postoperative outcomes across a wide spectrum of procedures. We aimed to evaluate the association between CKD and 30-day postoperative outcomes across surgical specialties. We selected adult patients undergoing surgery across eight specialties. The primary study endpoint was major complications, defined as death, unplanned reoperation, cardiac complication, or stroke within 30 days following surgery. Secondary outcomes included Clavien-Dindo high-grade complications, as well as cardiac, pulmonary, infectious, and thromboembolic complications. Multivariable regression was performed to evaluate the association between CKD and 30-day postoperative complications, adjusted for baseline characteristics, surgical specialty, and operative time. In total, 1,912,682 patients were included. The odds of major complications (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 2.14 [95% confidence interval (CI): 2.07, 2.21]), death (aOR 3.03 [95% CI: 2.88, 3.19]), unplanned reoperation (aOR 1.57 [95% CI: 1.51, 1.64]), cardiac complication (aOR 3.51 [95% CI: 3.25, 3.80]), and stroke (aOR 1.89 [95% CI: 1.64, 2.17]) were greater for patients with CKD stage 5 vs. stage 1. A similar pattern was observed for the secondary endpoints. This population-based study demonstrates the negative impact of CKD on operative outcomes across a diverse range of procedures and patients.

Bromadiolone is a wide-use long-acting anticoagulant rodenticide known to cause severe coagulation dysfunction. At present, there have been no detailed reports of acute kidney injury (AKI) resulting from bromadiolone poisoning. A 27-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital due to severe coagulopathy and severe AKI. Coagulation test revealed a prothrombin time exceeding 120 s and an international normalized ratio (INR) greater than 10. Further examination for coagulation factors showed significantly reduced level of factors II, VII, IX and X, indicating a vitamin K deficiency. The AKI was non-oliguric and characterized by gross dysmorphic hematuria. Following the onset of the disease, the patient’s serum creatinine rose from 0.86 to 6.96 mg/dL. Suspecting anticoagulant rodenticide poisoning, plasma bromadiolone was identified at a concentration of 117 ng/mL via gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. All other potential causes of AKI were excluded, except for the presence of a horseshoe kidney. The patient’s kidney function fully recovered after the coagulopathy was corrected with high doses of vitamin K and plasma transfusion. At a follow-up 160 days post-discharge, the coagulation function had normalized, and the serum creatinine had returned to 0.51 mg/dL. Bromadiolone can induce AKI through a severe and prolonged coagulation disorder. Kidney function can be restored within days following treatment with high-dose vitamin K1.
溴敌隆是一种广泛使用的长效抗凝血灭鼠剂，已知会导致严重的凝血功能障碍。目前，还没有关于溴敌隆中毒导致急性肾损伤（AKI）的详细报道。一名 27 岁女性因严重凝血功能障碍和急性肾损伤入院。凝血检查显示凝血酶原时间超过 120 秒，国际标准化比值（INR）大于 10。对凝血因子的进一步检查显示，因子 II、VII、IX 和 X 的水平明显降低，表明患者缺乏维生素 K。急性肾小球肾炎无胆红素尿，以严重的畸形血尿为特征。发病后，患者的血清肌酐从 0.86 升至 6.96 毫克/分升。怀疑是抗凝血剂杀鼠剂中毒，通过气相色谱/质谱法确定血浆中溴敌隆的浓度为 117 纳克/毫升。除了马蹄肾的存在外，所有其他可能导致 AKI 的原因均被排除。在使用大剂量维生素 K 和输注血浆纠正凝血病后，患者的肾功能完全恢复。在出院后 160 天的随访中，凝血功能恢复正常，血清肌酐恢复到 0.51 mg/dL。溴敌隆可通过严重而持久的凝血功能障碍诱发 AKI。使用大剂量维生素 K1 治疗后，肾功能可在数天内恢复。

At present, there have been no detailed reports of acute kidney injury (AKI) resulting from bromadiolone poisoning. A 27-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital due to severe coagulopathy and severe AKI. Coagulation test revealed a prothrombin time exceeding 120 s and an international normalized ratio (INR) greater than 10. Further examination for coagulation factors showed significantly reduced level of factors II, VII, IX and X, indicating a vitamin K deficiency. The AKI was non-oliguric and characterized by gross dysmorphic hematuria. Following the onset of the disease, the patient’s serum creatinine rose from 0.86 to 6.96 mg/dL. Suspecting anticoagulant rodenticide poisoning, plasma bromadiolone was identified at a concentration of 117 ng/mL via gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. All other potential causes of AKI were excluded, except for the presence of a horseshoe kidney. The patient’s kidney function fully recovered after the coagulopathy was corrected with high doses of vitamin K and plasma transfusion. At a follow-up 160 days post-discharge, the coagulation function had normalized, and the serum creatinine had returned to 0.51 mg/dL. Bromadiolone can induce AKI through a severe and prolonged coagulation disorder. Kidney function can be restored within days following treatment with high-dose vitamin K1.","PeriodicalId":9089,"journal":{"name":"BMC Nephrology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142185426","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

National guidance recognises the key role of rehabilitation in improving outcomes for people living with chronic kidney disease. Implementation of this guidance is reliant upon an adequate and skilled rehabilitation workforce. Data relating to this is currently lacking within the UK. This survey aimed to identify variations and good practices in kidney physiotherapy (PT), occupational therapy (OT) and clinical exercise physiologist (CEP) provision; and to understand barriers to implementation. An online survey was sent to all 87 UK kidney units between June 2022 and January 2023. Data was collected on the provision of therapy services, barriers to service provision and responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. The quantitative survey was analysed using descriptive statistics. Free-text responses were explored using reflexive thematic analysis. Forty-five units (52%) responded. Seventeen (38%) units reported having a PT and 15 (33%) an OT with a specialist kidney role; one unit (7%) had access to a CEP. Thirty units (67%) offered inpatient therapy services, ten (22%) outpatient therapy clinics, six (13%) intradialytic exercise, six (13%) symptom management and three (7%) outpatient rehabilitation. Qualitative data revealed lack of money/funding and time (both n = 35, 85% and n = 34, 83% respectively) were the main barriers to delivering kidney-specific therapy. Responders saw an increase in the complexity of their caseload, a reduction in staffing levels and consequently, service provision during the COVID-19 pandemic. Exemplars of innovative service delivery, including hybrid digital and remote services, were viewed as positive responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite clear evidence of the benefits of rehabilitation, across the UK, there remains limited and variable access to kidney-specific therapy services. Equitable access to kidney-specific rehabilitation services is urgently required to support people to ‘live well’ with kidney disease.

Low albumin level is a risk factor for thromboembolic events in patients with NS (nephrotic syndrome). However, little is known about the proportion and characteristics of patients with NS who experience thromboembolic events with relatively high albumin levels (≥ 25 g/L). Therefore, we explored the features of this specific group of patients. This study included all hospitalized patients in our center for the past 10 years who had diagnoses of NS and relevant thromboembolic events. We divided them into 2 groups based on their serum albumin level when the thromboembolic event occurred. The clinical data were analyzed with SPSS software. There were 312 patients enrolled in our study. Eighty-four (26.9%) of them had relatively high albumin levels (≥ 25 g/L). Patients with NS with high albumin levels had significantly lower levels of 24-h proteinuria (P < 0.01) and a higher rate of autoimmune disease (P = 0.03) than the low-albumin group. Membranous nephropathy (MN) was the most frequent pathological type of NS in patients with thromboembolic events, regardless of their albumin level. There were significantly fewer patients with anti-PLA2R (M-type phospholipase A2 receptor)-positive MN in the high-albumin group than in the low-albumin group (P < 0.01). Our study found that there was still a high risk for patients with NS and relatively high albumin levels to develop thromboembolic events.

Lipid droplets (LD) in renal clear cell carcinoma (ccRCC)play a crucial role in lipid metabolism and immune response modulation. The purpose of this study was to create a LD-related signature to predict prognosis and guide the immunotherapy and targeted therapy in ccRCC patients. We conducted a comprehensive analysis using transcriptional profiles and clinical data obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). LD-related genes were identified from existing literature and the GeneCards database, and differentially expressed genes were determined. Sequentially, we conducted Cox regression analysis and Lasso regression analysis, to establish a prognostic risk model. The performance of the risk model was evaluated using Kaplan–Meier (KM) analysis and time-dependent receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. Additionally, gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA), ESTIMATE, CIBERSORT, and immunophenoscore (IPS) algorithm were used to assess the tumor microenvironment (TME) and treatment response. We constructed a risk signature with four LD-related genes in the TCGA dataset, which could be an independent prognostic factor in ccRCC patients. Then, patients were classified into two risk groups and exhibited notable differences in overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and TME characteristics. Furthermore, we developed a comprehensive nomogram based on clinical features, which demonstrated good prognostic predictive value. According to the results of GSEA analysis, immune-related pathways were found to be significantly enriched in the high-risk group. Additionally, the high-risk group displayed high levels of immune cell infiltration, TMB and IPS scores, indicating better efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). Finally, high-risk demonstrated reduced IC50 values compared to the low-risk counterpart for specific targeted and chemotherapeutic drugs, suggesting that the patients receiving these targeted drugs in high-risk group had better treatment outcomes. Our findings suggested that the LD-related gene signature could potentially predict the prognosis of ccRCC patients. Additionally, it showed promise for predicting responses to immunotherapy and targeted therapy in ccRCC patients. These insights might potentially have guided the clinical management of these patients, but further validation and broader data analysis are needed to confirm these preliminary observations.
