Abstract Introduction: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and hypertension (HTN) are considered strong risk factors for developing chronic kidney disease (CKD). Increased cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is associated with lower CKD risk. However, the CRF-CKD association in patients with T2DM and/or HTN has not been assessed.Methods: We identified 9,751 patients (age 58.6 + 10.1 years) with T2DM (N=1,444) or HTN (n=5,031) or both (n=3,276) prior to a maximal standardized exercise treadmill test (ETT) and no evidence of ischemia as indicated by the ETT. We established four CRF categories based on age-adjusted peak metabolic equivalents (METs) achieved: Least-Fit (4.6±1.2 METs; n=2,231); Low-Fit Fit (6.4±1.1 METs; n=2,693); Moderate-Fit (8.0±1.0 METs; n=2,432); and High-Fit (10.8±2.1 METs; n=2,395). We performed multivariable Cox Regression analyses to access the risk of CKD according to fitness. The models were adjusted for age, body mass index (BMI), traditional risk factors and medications. Results: During the median follow-up of 12.4 years, 1,118 patients developed CKD, accounting for 9.1 events/ 1,000 person-years of observation. The association between CRF and CKD was inverse and graded. The risk of CKD was 21% lower (Hazard Ratio [HR] 0.79; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.77-0.81). When CRF categories were considered, the CKD risk was 44% lower for Moderate-Fit patients (HR 0.56; 95% CI 0.48-0.67) and 80% lower for High-Fit (HR 0.20; 95% CI 0.15-0.25). Similar findings were noted in patients with both T2DM and HTN. Conclusions: We noted an inverse and dose-response association between CRF and CKD incidence. The risk was attenuated significantly beyond a mean peak MET level of 8.0±1.0, suggesting that moderate increases in exercise capacity confers favorable health benefits in patients at high risk of developing CKD.

Purpose: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a severe complication in medical and surgical intensive care units accounting for a high morbidity and mortality. Incidence, risk factors, and prognostic impact of this deleterious condition are well established in this setting. Data concerning the neurocritically ill patients is scarce. Therefore, aim of this study was to determine the incidence of AKI and elucidate risk factors in this special population. Methods: Patients admitted to a specialized neurocritical care unit between 2005 and 2011 with a length of stay above 48 hours were analyzed retrospectively for incidence, cause, and outcome of AKI (AKI Network-stage ≥2). Results: The study population comprised 681 neurocritically ill patients from a mixed neurosurgical and neurological intensive care unit. The prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) was 8.4% (57/681). Overall incidence of AKI was 11.6% with 36 (45.6%) patients developing dialysis-requiring AKI. Sepsis was the main cause of AKI in nearly 50% of patients. Acute kidney injury and renal replacement therapy are independent predictors of worse outcome (hazard ratio [HR]: 3.704; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.867-7.350; P < .001; and HR: 2.848; CI: 1.301-6.325; P = .009). Chronic kidney disease was the strongest independent risk factor (odds ratio: 12.473; CI: 5.944-26.172; P < .001), whereas surgical intervention or contrast agents were not associated with AKI. Conclusions: Acute kidney injury in neurocritical care has a high incidence and is a crucial risk factor for mortality independently of the underlying neurocritical condition. Sepsis is the main cause of AKI in this setting. Therefore, careful prevention of infectious complications and considering CKD in treatment decisions may lower the incidence of AKI and hereby improve outcome in neurocritical care.

Abstract Background and Aims Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a widely-discussed complication associated with the radical cystectomy which is the gold standard for the management of invasive bladder cancer. Until now, few studies investigate the new criteria named Acute Kidney Diseases and Disorders(AKD) as the complication of radical cystectomy. In this study, we evaluated the incidence, risk factors of AKD and evaluate its impact on chronic kidney disease (CKD) in patients after radical cystectomy. Method A total of 279 patients who underwent radical cystectomy at Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital, Guangzhou, China, from January 2006 to June 2019 were evaluated, including 168 patients for Robotic-assisted Laparoscopic Radical Cystectomy (RLRC) and 111 patients for Laparoscopic Radical Cystectomy(LRC). AKD was diagnosed according to the classification scheme proposed in the 2012 KDIGO guideline. Logistic regression modeling was used to explore risk factors of AKD, while risk factors associated with CKD in AKD patients were investigated using Kaplan-Meier analysis, respectively. Results The overall incidence of AKD after radical cystectomy was 34.1% (95 out of 279) ,the incidences differ significantly between the RLRC and LRC groups (67 [39.9%] vs 28 [25.2%], P=0.011). Among 279 patients, risk factors associated with postoperative AKD included RLRC (OR 2.067, 95%CI 1.188 to 3.595, P=0.010), Age (years) (OR 1.046, 95%CI 1.018 to 1.074, P=0.001), baseline eGFR&lt;60(ml/(min.1.73m2) (OR 2.662, 95%CI 1.355 to 5.230, P=0.004), Further subgroup analysis identified age, operation time&lt;250(min) as important risk factors of AKD in RLRC patients but not in LRC patients. Of 211 patients with a preoperative estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of &gt; 60 ml/min/1.73 m2, CKD developed in 16.0% (21/ 131) of patients in the non-AKD group and 36.3% (29/ 80) of patients in the AKD group. Kaplan-Meier analysis(shown in figure 1) identified that AKD is associated with higher CKD rates in those patients (P &lt;0.001). Conclusion One-third of bladder cancer patients developed AKD after after radical cystectomy. RLRC, Age, baseline eGFR &lt;60(ml/(min.1.73m2) were independent risk factors for postoperative AKD in all patients. Occurance of AKD could increase the risk of new-onset CKD in the long run. Though the use of RLRC is now well established, we should be aware that it may increase the risk of postoperative AKD, especially for patients who are old and with lower eGFR .Besides, we should try to improve the management of those AKD patients with aim toward preventing further development of CKD.

The burden of cardiovascular disease and death in chronic kidney disease (CKD) outpaces that of the other diseases and is not adequately described by traditional risk factors alone. Diminished activity of paraoxonase (PON)-1 is associated with increased oxidant stress, a common feature underlying the pathogenesis of CKD. We aimed to assess the prognostic value of circulating PON-1 protein and PON lactonase activity on adverse clinical outcomes across various stages and etiologies of CKD. Circulating PON-1 protein levels and PON lactonase activity were measured simultaneously in patients with CKD as well as a cohort of apparently healthy non-CKD subjects. Both circulating PON-1 protein levels and PON lactonase activity were significantly lower in CKD patients compared to the non-CKD subjects. Similarly, across all stages of CKD, circulating PON-1 protein and PON lactonase activity were significantly lower in patients with CKD compared to the non-CKD controls. Circulating PON lactonase activity, but not protein levels, predicted future adverse clinical outcomes, even after adjustment for traditional risk factors. The combination of lower circulating protein levels and higher activity within the CKD subjects were associated with the best survival outcomes. These findings demonstrate that diminished circulating PON lactonase activity, but not protein levels, predicts higher risk of future adverse clinical outcomes in patients with CKD.

Disadvantaged populations across the globe exhibit a disproportionate burden of chronic kidney disease (CKD) because of differences in CKD occurrence and outcomes. Although many CKD risk factors can be managed and modified to optimize clinical outcomes, the prevailing socioeconomic and cultural factors in disadvantaged populations, more often than not, militate against optimum clinical outcomes. In addition, disadvantaged populations exhibit a broader spectrum of CKD risk factors and may be genetically predisposed to an earlier onset and a more rapid progression of chronic kidney disease. A basic understanding of the vulnerabilities of the disadvantaged populations will facilitate the adaptation and adoption of the kidney disease treatment and prevention guidelines for these vulnerable populations. The purpose of this paper is to examine recent discoveries and data on CKD occurrence and outcomes in disadvantaged populations and explore strategies for the prevention and treatment of CKD in these populations based on the established guidelines.
