Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are most widely used medications for acid related gastrointestinal disorders. Accessible evidence based studies suggest that the increased use of PPI is linked to a greater risk of developing kidney diseases. This review aims to determine the association of kidney disease with the use of proton pump inhibitor with various study designs. PubMed, Scopus and Google Scholar databases as well as a reference list of relevant articles were systematically searched for studies by using the following search terms; ‘proton pump inhibitors’, ‘acute kidney injury’, ‘chronic kidney disease’ and ‘end stage renal disease’. Both observational and randomized controlled trials (RCTs) exploring the association of PPI use with kidney disease were eligible for inclusion. A total of 8 articles, including 9 studies (n = 794,349 participants) were identified and included in the review. Majority of the studies showed a higher risk of kidney outcomes in patients taking PPIs, with effect higher of acute kidney injury (4-to 6-fold) compared with chronic kidney disease and end stage renal disease (1.5-to 2.5-fold). However, the studies suggest that the strength of evidence is weak and could not prove causation. The risk increased considerably with the use of high dose of PPIs and prolonged duration of exposure necessitates the monitoring of renal function. Exercising vigilance in PPI use and cessation of proton pump inhibitor when there is no clear indication may be a reasonable approach to reduce the population burden of kidney diseases.

Renal epidemiology has moved from a focus on patients treated with renal replacement therapy using data from renal registries, to a much broader view of acute and chronic kidney disease. A review of essential epidemiological concepts and principles is followed by discussion of the epidemiology of different types of kidney disease: acute kidney injury, chronic kidney disease, and end-stage renal disease. The chapter concludes with a section on future challenges and potential solutions.

Both acute and chronic states of kidney disease have considerable healthcare impact as they can produce enormous disease burden and costs. To classify chronic kidney disease into the CKD staging system, glomerular filtration rate as an index of kidney function, as well as albuminuria as a marker of kidney damage have to be assessed as correctly as possible. Misclassification is a serious concern due to the difficulties in precise GFR assessment and correct interpretation of results. Differentiating between pure senescence and true disease among older adults can be a delicate issue. To find the right renal replacement option for individuals that progress to end-stage renal disease can be challenging, and some older patients may even benefit from conservative care without dialysis. To prevent acute kidney injury as a frequent and potentially life-threatening complication, clinicians need to develop an understanding of the common vulnerability to kidney damage among older adults.

Background Non‐vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs) have better pharmacologic properties than warfarin and are recommended in preference to warfarin in most patients with non‐valvular atrial fibrillation. Besides lower bleeding complications, other advantages of NOACs over warfarin particularly renal outcomes remain inconclusive. Methods and Results Electronic searches were conducted through Medline, Scopus, Cochrane Library databases, and ClinicalTrial.gov. Randomized controlled trials and observational cohort studies reporting incidence rates and hazard ratio (HR) of renal outcomes (including acute kidney injury, worsening renal function, doubling serum creatinine, and end‐stage renal disease) were selected. The random‐effects model was used to calculate pooled incidence and HR with 95% CI. Eighteen studies were included. A total of 285 201 patients were enrolled, 118 863 patients with warfarin and 166 338 patients with NOACs. The NOACs group yielded lower incidence rates of all renal outcomes when compared with the warfarin group. Patients treated with NOACs showed significantly lower HR of risk of acute kidney injury (HR, 0.70, 95% CI, 0.64–0.76; P <0.001), worsening renal function (HR, 0.83; 95% CI, 0.73–0.95; P =0.006), doubling serum creatinine (HR, 0.58; 95% CI, 0.41–0.82; P =0.002), and end‐stage renal disease (HR, 0.82; 95% CI, 0.78–0.86; P <0.001). Conclusions In non‐valvular atrial fibrillation, patients treated with NOACs have a lower risk of both acute kidney injury and end‐stage renal disease when compared with warfarin.

Purpose of review: The current review will discuss on the progress of studying the transition phase between acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) through improved animal models, common AKI and CKD pathways, and how human studies may inform different translational approaches. Sources of information: PubMed and Google Scholar. Methods: A narrative review was performed using the main terms “acute kidney injury,” “chronic kidney disease,” “end-stage renal disease,” “animal models,” “review,” “decision-making,” and “translational research.” Key findings: The last decade has shown much progress in the study of AKI, including evidence of a pathophysiological link between AKI and CKD. We are now in a phase of redesigning animal models and discovering mechanisms that can replicate the pathological conditions of the AKI-to-CKD continuum. Translating these findings into the clinic is a barrier that must be overcome. To this end, current efforts include prediction of AKI onset and maladaptive repair, detecting patients susceptible to the progression of chronic maladaptive repair, and understanding shared signaling mechanisms between AKI and CKD. Limitations: This is a narrative review of the literature that is partially influenced by the knowledge, perspectives, and experiences of the authors and their research background. Implications: Overall, this new knowledge from the AKI-to-CKD continuum will help bridge the discontinuity that exists between animal models and patients, resulting in more effective translational biomarkers and therapeutics to test in known AKI pathologies thereby preventing the chronicity of kidney injury progression.

Introduction. Acute kidney injury (AKI) remains a critical issue for cancer patients despite recent treatment improvements. This study aimed to assess the incidence of AKI in cancer patients and its related risk factors. Methods. A Retrospective cohort study was conducted at tertiary hospitals in the period 2016–2018. A data abstraction sheet was used to collect related variables from patients’ records. During admission, the incidence of AKI was assessed using creatinine measurements. RIFLE criteria were used to classify it into five categories of severity: risk, injury, failure, loss, and end-stage renal disease. Results. Using RIFLE (Risk, Injury, Failure, Loss, and End-stage renal disease) criteria, 6.9% of admissions were complicated with AKI. The severity of these fell into the categories of risk, injury, and failure, 3.3%, 1.7%, and 1.9%, respectively. In the multivariate model, the odds for developing AKI was significantly higher for patients with congestive heart failure (AOR = 17.1, 95% CI 1.7–80.1), chronic kidney disease (adjusted OR = 6.8, 95% CI 1.4–32.2 ( P value 0.017)), sepsis (AOR = 4.4, 95% CI 1.9–10.1), hypercalcemia (AOR = 8.4, 95% CI 1.3–46.1), and admission to the ICU (AOR = 5.8, 95% CI 2.1–16.2). In addition, the mortality rate was nearly seven times higher for patients complicated by AKI (relative risk = 7.6, 95% CI 3.2–18.2). Conclusion. AKI was significantly associated with congestive heart failure, chronic kidney disease, sepsis, ICU admission, and hypercalcemia in cancer patients, resulting in poorer outcomes and higher mortality rates. AKI assessment for hospitalized cancer patients should be performed regularly, especially for patients at increased risk.

Background: Little is known about how incident atrial fibrillation (AF) affects the clinical outcomes in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients and whether there is a different influence between pre-existing and incident AF. Methods: Incident CKD patients from 2000 to 2013 were retrieved from the National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD) of Taiwan and they were classified as non-AF (n = 15,251), prevalent AF (n = 612), and incident AF (n = 588). The outcomes of interest were end-stage renal disease (ESRD) requiring dialysis, all-cause mortality, cardiovascular (CV) mortality, acute myocardial infarction (AMI), stroke or systemic thromboembolism. Results: Compared with CKD patients without AF, those with prevalent or incident AF were associated with higher adjusted rates of ESRD (hazard ratio (HR), 1.40; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.32–1.48; HR, 2.91; 95% CI, 2.74–3.09, respectively), stroke or systemic thromboembolism (HR, 1.89; 95% CI, 1.77–2.03; HR, 1.67; 95% CI, 1.54–1.81, respectively), AMI (HR, 1.24; 95% CI, 1.09–1.41; HR, 1.99; 95% CI, 1.75–2.27, respectively), all-cause mortality (HR, 1.64; 95% CI, 1.56–1.72; HR, 2.17; 95% CI, 2.06–2.29, respectively), and CV mortality (HR, 2.95; 95% CI, 2.62–3.32; HR, 4.61; 95% CI, 4.09–5.20, respectively). Intriguingly, CKD patients with prevalent AF were associated with lower adjusted rates of ESRD, AMI, all-cause mortality, and CV mortality compared with those with incident AF. Conclusion: Both incident and prevalent AF were independently associated with greater risks of AMI, all-cause mortality, CV mortality, ESRD, and stroke or systemic thromboembolism. Our findings are novel in that, compared with prevalent AF, incident AF possessed an even higher risk of some clinical consequences, including ESRD, all-cause mortality, CV mortality, and AMI.
