Abstract Background and Aims Diabetic nephropathy is one of the main causes of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in the world. In the past years new studies using SGLT-2 inhibitors in diabetic patients have shown benefit in both mortality and progression of CKD. However, these works show heterogeneity between studies regarding the severity of CKD of patients included. All above complicates the interpretation of the benefits of SGLT-2 inhibitors. Method We did a systematic search of the literature in PUBMED, EMBASE, Cochrane CENTRAL trials database and in references of the selected studies. Terms used for the search were Canaglifozin, Dapaglifozin, Ertuglifozin, Empaglifozin, diabetes, mortality and CKD. Search included studies in all languages. We selected only randomized and controlled studies that reported mortality and relevant renal outcomes (doubling serum creatinine or decrease in eGFR> 40%, need for renal replacement or renal death). We included studies until September 30, 2019. For the meta-analysis, a Mantel-Haenszel model of random effects was used. The software Review Manager, Version 5.3 The Cochrane Collaboration, 2014 was used. Results We obtained results from 142 studies, fifteen studies met the selected criteria, but only four reported mortality and renal outcomes (EMPA-REG, CANVAS, CREDENCE AND DECLARE-TIMI 58). A total of 38,721 patients (SGTL2 inhibitors n = 21,264 and control n = 17,457) were included for the analysis. The EMPA-REG study used Empaglifozin, the CANVAS and CREDENCE studies used Canaglifozin and the DECLARE-TIMI 58 used Dapaglifozin. All studies were funded by pharmaceutical laboratories.The average age range of the studies was between 62 to 67 years. The percentage of patients with eGFR <60ml/min were 26%, 20%, 60% and 7% for the EMPA-REG, CANVAS, CREDENCE and DECLARE-TIMI 58 studies respectively.Mortality was lower in patients who used SGTL2 inhibitors OR 0.86 (CI 0.80-0.94) Figure 1. Renal outcomes were also lower in patients who used SGTL-2 inhibitors OR 0.69 (CI 0.60-0.78) Figure 2. We assessed whether the effect was related to the severity of the CKD taking out the work with patients with more severe CKD (CREDENCE study), the effect on mortality did not change OR 0.87 (CI 0.80-0.95) as well as renal outcome OR 0.66 (CI 0.52- 0.83). Conclusion The SGTL-2 inhibitors decrease mortality and improve renal outcomes in patients with diabetic nephropathy. These benefits remain in patients with less severe CKD.

Abstract Background/Objectives: Fibrates reduce cardiovascular risk in the general population and in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Although, they are commonly used as second-line agents in addition to statins for hypertriglyceridemia, their use in CKD is limited due to a decrease of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) at treatment initiation. This change in GFR is reversible with fibrate discontinuation. Importantly, randomised control trials with fibrate treatment have demonstrated reduction in proteinuria and benefit for microvascular diabetic complications. In addition, a number of experimental studies have shown nephroprotective effects with fibrates through attenuation of renal fibrosis and inflammation. Thus, the effect of fibrates on renal outcomes remains undetermined. The objective of this systematic review is to summarize the evidence from randomised controlled studies and provide pooled estimates on the effect of fibrates on short- and long-term renal outcomes. Methods/Design: The study will be contacted according to the Cochrane Collaboration principles for Systematic reviews. We will include randomised trials comparing fibrate to placebo or studies comparing the addition of fibrate on statin versus statin alone and reporting on the short- and long-term effects on renal function, CKD progression and proteinuria. We will examine studies including patients with established CKD and those studies including patients at risk of developing CKD, separately. A comprehensive summary of the evidence will be reported using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses. Data from included studies suitable for metanalysis will be analyses accordingly to provide quantitative estimates using a random effects model. The Cochrane Collaboration tool for assessing the risk of bias in randomized clinical trials will be utilised. The quality of the evidence from included studies will be addressed descriptively using GRADE (Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluations).Discussion: The results of this systematic review will be informative for clinicians. A summary of high-level evidence with robust estimates of the effect of fibrates on safety and renal outcomes may be used to inform clinical practice guideline development for dyslipidaemias and primary and secondary prevention of CVD.

Background: Is the prognosis of immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) influenced by pregnancy and delivery? The answer to this question still remains to be a controversial topic. Here, we undertook a systematic review and meta-analysis to obtain the overall estimate of potential effect of IgAN and pregnancy on each other. Methods: We systematically searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, Chinese Biological Medicine and Cochrane for cohort and case-control studies; a total of 1,378 articles were reviewed and 9 studies were included in the end. OR and mean difference (MD) were calculated with a random-effects model, kidney events and pregnancy outcomes were analyzed respectively. Results: The key finding of the meta-analysis of 145 renal events in 1,198 participants was that there was no difference in renal outcomes (defined as doubling of serum creatinine (SCr), 50% decline in glomerular filtration rate [GFR] and end-stage kidney disease) of pregnant women compared with non-pregnant women who had IgAN (OR 0.90; 95% CI 0.59–1.37; p = 0.63). Subgroup analysis indicated that there was no significant difference between the 2 groups according to sample size, follow-up year, age, level of SCr and proteinuria at baseline. There was no difference in the change of the eGFR/creatinine clearance rate (mL/min/1.73 m2 per year) in IgAN patients with pregnancy compared with non-pregnancy (MD –0.11 mL/min; 95% CI –0.50–0.27; p = 0.57) as well. Women with IgAN had a higher likelihood of pregnancy outcomes compared with the Chinese general population, while they had a lower risk of preterm delivery, preeclampsia and low birth weight compared with those who had lupus nephritis or diabetic nephropathy. Conclusions: Pregnancy did not accelerate kidney disease deterioration in women with IgAN in stages of chronic kidney disease 1–3. Moreover, patients with IgAN had a relatively low risk of adverse pregnancy events compared with those with lupus nephritis or diabetic nephropathy.

Background: The substantial burden of kidney disease fosters interest in new ways of screening for early disease diagnosis, especially by non-invasive imaging. Increasing evidence for an association between retinal microvascular signs and kidney disease prompted us to investigate the relevant current literature on such an association systematically by performing a meta-analysis of our findings. Methods: We scrutinized the current literature by searching PubMed and Embase databases from for clinical studies of the association between retinal microvascular signs and prevalent or incident kidney disease. After excluding cases that did not meet our criteria, we extracted relevant data from 42 published studies (9 prospective, 32 cross-sectional, and 1 retrospective). Results: Our investigation yielded significant associations between retinal vascular changes (including retinopathy and retinal vascular diameter) and kidney dysfunction (including chronic kidney disease (CKD), end-stage renal disease (ESRD), albuminuria, and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) decline). According to our meta-analysis, retinopathy was associated with ESRD (hazard ratio (HR) 2.12 (95% confidence interval CI; 1.39–3.22)) and with CKD prevalence in the general population (odds ratio (OR) 1.31 (95% CI; 1.14–1.50)), and specifically in type 2 diabetic patients (OR 1.68 (95% CI; 1.68–2.16)). CRAE was associated with prevalent CKD (OR 1.41 (95% CI; 1.09–1.82)). Conclusions: Our findings suggest that the retinal microvasculature can provide essential data about concurrent kidney disease status and predict future risk for kidney disease development and progression.

Background Hyperuricemia is highly prevalent in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients, but the evidence for a relationship between uric acid (UA) and clinical outcomes in CKD patients is limited and inconsistent. We hypothesized that UA has a different impact on clinical outcomes according to the underlying disease causing CKD. Methods This study prospectively investigated the associations between UA and renal and non-renal outcomes according to the underlying disease causing CKD in 2,797 Japanese patients under the care of nephrologists. The patients were categorized into four groups: primary renal disease (n = 1306), hypertensive nephropathy (n = 467), diabetic nephropathy (n = 275), and other nephropathy (n = 749). The renal outcome was defined as end-stage renal disease (ESRD), and the non-renal outcome was defined as a composite endpoint of cardiovascular events (CVEs) and all-cause mortality. Results During a median 4.8-year follow-up, 359 (12.8%) patients reached the renal outcome, and 260 (9.3%) reached the non-renal outcome. In the all-patient analysis, hyperuricemia was not associated with the risks for renal and non-renal outcomes, but in primary renal disease (PRD) and hypertensive renal disease (HTN) patients, hyperuricemia was significantly associated with non-renal outcomes. Per 1 mg/dl higher UA level, multivariable adjusted hazard ratio was 1.248 (95% CI: 1.003 to 1.553) for PRD, and 1.250 (1.035 to 1.510) for HTN. Allopurinol did not reduce the risks for renal and non-renal outcomes, both in all patients and in the subgroup analysis. Conclusions The effect of hyperuricemia on clinical outcomes in CKD patients varies according to the underlying disease causing CKD. Hyperuricemia is an independent risk factor for non-renal outcomes in primary renal disease and hypertensive renal disease patients. Allopurinol did not decrease the risks for renal and non-renal outcomes.

Abstract Pyuria is common in chronic kidney disease (CKD), which could be due to either urinary tract infection (UTI) or renal parenchymal inflammation. Only little is known regarding the association of pyuria or UTI with renal outcomes. We investigated 3226 patients with stage 3–5 CKD. Pyuria was defined as ≥ 50 WBC per high-power field (hpf) and was correlated to old age, female, diabetes, hypoalbuminemia, lower eGFR, and higher inflammation status. In Cox regression, patients with more than one episode of pyuria in the first year (11.8%) had increased risks for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) [hazard ratio (95% CI): 1.90 (1.58–2.28); p < 0.001], rapid renal function progression [odds ratio (95% CI): 1.49 (1.13–1.95); p = 0.001], and all-cause mortality [hazard ratio: 1.63 (1.29–2.05); p < 0.001], compared to those without pyuria. In a subgroup analysis, the risk of pyuria for ESRD was modified by CKD stages. We investigated the effects of UTI (urinary symptoms and treated by antibiotics) and pyuria without UTI (urine WBC < 50 to ≥ 10/hpf without any episodes of ≥ 50 WBC/hpf or UTI), while both groups were associated with clinical outcomes. In conclusion, CKD stage 3–5 patients with frequent pyuria or UTI episodes have increased risks of renal outcomes.

Background The Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) and Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) equations are common for calculating estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). Unlike CKD, the key pathological change of diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is glomerulosclerosis. Methods To conduct a meta-analysis of the diagnostic performance of the CKD-EPI and MDRD equations in diabetic patients, we searched PubMed, Embase and the Cochrane Library for studies comparing standard GFR (sGFR) with eGFR using these two equations. Results Thirteen studies of 7192 diabetic patients reporting data on bias or accuracy were included. At the study level, both equations underestimated eGFR. CKD-EPI was more accurate in studies with mean GFR ≥60 mL/minute/1.73 m2. At the individual level, both equations overestimated GFR by 6.38 mL/minute/1.73 m2 (95% confidence interval [CI] 2.67–10.1) and 7.65 mL/minute/1.73 m2 (95% CI 2.78–12.52), respectively, for sGFR < 90 mL/minute/1.73 m2. The CKD-EPI equation was 7.61% (95% CI 4.66–10.56) more accurate in subjects with sGFR > 90 mL/minute/1.73 m2. The CKD-EPI equation performed poorly in diabetic patients. Conclusions The CKD-EPI equation can be used to estimate GFR in patients with incipient DKD, but has drawbacks. Improved eGFR equations suitable for diabetic populations are needed.

Patients undergoing arthroplasty are exposed to different interventions that can lead to renal dysfunction. There is abundant evidence of the incidence and factors associated with acute kidney injury (AKI); however, the incidence and the factors associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are not clear. The objective of this study is to determine the incidence and associated factors in arthroplasty patients. A systematic review of the literature was carried out following the recommendations of PRISMA and the Cochrane Collaboration (PROSPERO Protocol CRD42018075929). The search was carried out in Medline, Embase, Cochrane and LILACS. No language or date limits were set. Observational studies were included: cases and controls, and cohorts. The revision of titles and abstracts and the reading of the full texts was performed in a paired manner. The quality of the evidence was evaluated with the Newcastle-Ottawa tool. The initial search found 1279 titles and abstracts. We excluded 115 duplicates, and 1153 in the reading of titles and abstracts. Three articles met the inclusion criteria and were of acceptable quality. The incidence of severe CKD after hip or knee arthroplasty was 1.2% at 1 year up to 6.5% at 9 years. The evidence of the incidence and risk factors associated with CKD in patients undergoing arthroplasty is very scarce and heterogeneous. Further primary studies are required in order to have more valid and trustable results.
