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.

Background. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has become a global public health problem with a high prevalence and mortality. There is no sensitive and effective markers for chronic kidney disease. Previous studies proposed suPAR as an early predict biomarker for chronic kidney disease, but the results are controversial. Therefore, the purpose of the current meta-analysis is to evaluate the association between suPAR and CKD. Methods. We searched the PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library databases, and Web of Science before May 1, 2019. The search was based on the key words including suPAR and CKD. Data are extracted independently according to standard format, and quality analysis is performed. We extracted the concentration of suPAR and hazard rate (HR) values of mortality, cardiovascular disease, and end-stage renal disease. Results. There were 14 studies fulfilling the criteria. The concentration of suPAR was higher in patients with CKD than that in the control group (P<0.001; SMD: −2.17; 95% CI: −2.71, −1.63; I2 = 67.4%). SuPAR had a higher risk of mortality (P=0.001; HR: 1.72; 95% CI: 1.24, 2.39; I2 = 68.0%). The higher suPAR level increased the risk of cardiovascular disease (P<0.001; HR: 3.06; 95% CI: 2.21, 4.22; I2 = 0.0%) and the risk of end-stage renal disease (P<0.001; HR: 1.40; 95% CI: 1.22, 1.60; I2 = 0.0%). Conclusions. Monitoring suPAR concentrations may be used for early diagnosis and prognosis for patients with CKD, and the higher suPAR increased the risk of mortality, cardiovascular events, and end-stage renal disease.

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) among diabetic patients is becoming a global health burden with a high economic cost to health systems. The incidence of CKD is higher in low-income countries such as Ethiopia. In Ethiopia, there is no national representative evidence on the burden and determinants of CKD among patients with diabetes. Therefore, this review aimed to estimates the pooled burden and determinants of CKD among patients with diabetes.Methods: Published articles from various electronic databases such as Pub Med, Google Scholar, CINAHL, Scopes, Cochrane library, the Web of Science, and African Journals Online were accessed. Also, unpublished studies from Addis Ababa digital library were identified. We included all observational studies (cross-sectional, case-control, and cohort) in the review. Data were extracted on the Microsoft Excel spreadsheet and analyzed using STATA 14.1 version. A random-effects model was used to estimate the pooled estimate with a 95% confidence interval (CI). Forest plots were used to visualize the presence of heterogeneity and estimate the pooled burden and determinants of chronic kidney disease among diabetic patients. The presence of publication bias was assessed by funnel plots and Egger’s statistical tests.Results: Published (297) and unpublished (2) literature were identified from several databases and digital libraries, of which twelve articles were selected for final meta-analysis. Significant heterogeneity was observed across studies (I2 = 85.2%), which suggests a random-effects model to estimate pooled burden. The analysis found that the pooled burden of CKD among patients with diabetes was 18.22% (95% CI: 15.07–21.38). Factors such as hypertension (OR = 2.65, 95%, CI: 1.38, 5.09), type of DM (OR = 0.33, 95%, CI: 0.14–0.76), and duration of DM (OR = 0.51, 95%, CI: 0.34–0.77) were found to have significant association with CKD.Conclusion: The current review revealed a higher burden of CKD among patients with diabetes in Ethiopia. The presence of hypertension, type II diabetes, and duration of diabetes for a longer duration were found to be independent determinants of CKD among patients with diabetes. For better control of chronic kidney disease, integrated management of hypertension and DM should be designed with a special focus on chronic diabetic patients.

Abstract BACKGROUND The majority of patients with chronic kidney disease are diagnosed and monitored in primary care. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is a key marker of renal function, but direct measurement is invasive; in routine practice, equations are used for estimated GFR (eGFR) from serum creatinine. We systematically assessed bias and accuracy of commonly used eGFR equations in populations relevant to primary care. CONTENT MEDLINE, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library were searched for studies comparing measured GFR (mGFR) with eGFR in adult populations comparable to primary care and reporting both the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) and the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equations based on standardized creatinine measurements. We pooled data on mean bias (difference between eGFR and mGFR) and on mean accuracy (proportion of eGFR within 30% of mGFR) using a random-effects inverse-variance weighted metaanalysis. We included 48 studies of 26875 patients that reported data on bias and/or accuracy. Metaanalysis of within-study comparisons in which both formulae were tested on the same patient cohorts using isotope dilution-mass spectrometry-traceable creatinine showed a lower mean bias in eGFR using CKD-EPI of 2.2 mL/min/1.73 m2 (95% CI, 1.1–3.2; 30 studies; I2 = 74.4%) and a higher mean accuracy of CKD-EPI of 2.7% (1.6–3.8; 47 studies; I2 = 55.5%). Metaregression showed that in both equations bias and accuracy favored the CKD-EPI equation at higher mGFR values. SUMMARY Both equations underestimated mGFR, but CKD-EPI gave more accurate estimates of GFR.

Abstract Background Chronic kidney disease (CKD) among diabetic patients is becoming a global health burden with a high economic cost to health systems. Its incidence is increased at higher rate in low income countries including Ethiopia. In Ethiopia, there is no national representative evidence on burden and determinants of chronic kidney disease among diabetic patients. Therefore, this review aimed to estimates the pooled burden and determinants of chronic kidney disease among diabetic patients. Methods Published articles from various electronic databases such as Pub Med, Google scholar, CINAHL, Scopes, Cochrane library, the Web of Science and African Journals Online were accessed. Also, unpublished studies from Addis Ababa digital library were identified. All observational studies that were conducted on the burden and determinants of chronic kidney disease among diabetic patients were included. Data were extracted on the Microsoft excel spreadsheet and analyzed using STATA 14.1 version. A random-effects model was used to estimate the pooled estimate with a 95% confidence interval (CI). Forest plots were used to visualize the presence of heterogeneity and estimate the pooled burden and determinants of chronic kidney disease among diabetic patients. The presence of publication bias was assessed by funnel plots and Egger’s statistical tests. Results Published (163) and unpublished (2) literature were identified from several databases and digital library, of which ten articles were selected for final meta-analysis. Significant heterogeneity was observed across studies (I 2 = 84.6%), which suggests random-effects model to estimate pooled burden. The analysis found that the pooled burden of chronic kidney disease among diabetic patients was 17.55% (95%CI: 14.23–20.88). Being hypertensive patient, type II DM and staying with DM for greater than 10 years had positive significant association with chronic kidney disease. Conclusion The current review revealed a higher burden of chronic kidney diseases among diabetic patients in Ethiopia. Presence of hypertension, type of diabetes mellitus and staying with diabetes for longer duration were found to be independent determinants of chronic kidney disease among diabetic patients. For better control of chronic kidney disease, integrated management of hypertension and DM should be designed with special focus on chronic diabetic patients.

Background: Recent findings suggest that mild chronic kidney disease (CKD) might be associated with increased risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE). However, results were partially inconsistent, which may be due to lack of power. We therefore performed a meta-analysis to investigate the association between mild CKD and VTE incidence. Methods: A literature search was performed to retrieve community-based cohorts with information on the association of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and albuminuria with VTE. Five cohorts were identified that were pooled on individual level. To obtain pooled hazard ratios (HRs) for VTE, linear spline models were fitted using Cox regression with shared-frailty. Models were adjusted for age, sex, hypertension, total cholesterol, smoking, diabetes, history of cardiovascular disease and body-mass index. Random-effect meta-analysis was used to obtain adjusted pooled HRs of VTE with CKD versus no CKD. Results: The analysis included 95,154 participants with 1,178 VTE cases and 599,453 person-years of follow-up. Risk of VTE increased continuously with lower eGFR and higher ACR (Figure). Compared with eGFR 100 mL/min/1.73m², pooled adjusted HRs for VTE were 1.3 (1.0–1.7) for eGFR 60, 1.8 (1.3–2.6) for 45 and 1.9 (1.2–2.9) for 30 mL/min/1.73m². Compared with albumin-creatinine ratio (ACR) 5 mg/g, pooled adjusted HRs for VTE were 1.3 (1.04–1.7) for ACR 30, 1.6 (1.1–2.4) for 300 and 1.9 (1.2–3.1) for 1000 mg/g. There was no evidence for interaction between eGFR and ACR (P=0.22). The pooled adjusted HR for CKD (eGFR <60 ml/min/1.73m² or albuminuria ≥30 mg/g) vs. no CKD was 1.5 (95%CI, 1.2–2.1). Results were similar for idiopathic and provoked VTE. Conclusion: Both reduced eGFR and elevated albuminuria are novel independent predictors of VTE in the general population.

Objective. To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of tanshinone for chronic kidney disease (CKD). Methods. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on the treatment of CKD using tanshinone were searched using 4 Chinese databases (China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Value In Paper (VIP), Wanfang, and Chinese Biology Medicine (CBM)) and 3 English databases (PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Excerpta Medica Database (Embase)). The results included data on blood urine nitrogen (BUN), serum creatinine (Scr), glomerular filtration rate (GFR), 24 h urine protein, microalbuminuria (mALB), β2-macroglobulin (β2-MG), cystatin C (CysC), and safety events. The data were analyzed using Revman 5.3 and Stata 12.0 software. Results. Twenty-one studies were entered into this meta-analysis, which involved 1857 patients including 954 cases from the tanshinone treatment group and 903 cases from the control group. BUN levels in the tanshinone treatment group were significantly reduced compared with the control (standardized mean difference (SMD) = −0.65, 95% confidence interval (CI): −0.81 to −0.49, p<0.01). In addition, subgroup analysis indicated that tanshinone had a significant effect in reducing Scr levels at 14, 21, and 28 days. Scr levels in the tanshinone treatment group were significantly reduced compared with the control group (SMD = −1.40, 95% CI: −2.09 to −0.71, p<0.01); subgroup analysis based on treatment time also yielded the same results. GFR in the tanshinone treatment group was better than that in the control group (SMD = 0.83, 95% CI: 0.59 to 1.07, p<0.01). In terms of urine protein levels, 24 h urine protein level, mALB, and β2-MG of CKD patients were reduced to some degree compared with controls, and CysC levels in the tanshinone treatment group were also significantly reduced compared with the control group (SMD = −0.24, 95% CI: −0.44 to −0.03, p<0.05). Safety in the tanshinone treatment group did not differ significantly from that of the control group (risk ratio (RR) = 7.78, 95% CI: 0.99 to 61.05, p>0.05). Conclusion. This meta-analysis showed that tanshinone could control urine protein level in CKD patients, improve kidney function, and delay the evolution of CKD without significant side effects. However, the results were limited and should be interpreted with caution because of the low quality of the included studies. In the future, more rigorous clinical trials need to be conducted to provide sufficient and accurate evidence.

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&gt; 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 &lt;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 The incidence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) increases each year, and obesity is an important risk factor for CKD. The main anthropometric indicators currently reflecting obesity are body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), but the rationality and merits of various indicators vary. This article aims to find whether the WHtR is a more suitable physical measurement that can predict CKD. Methods Pubmed, embase, the cochrane library, and web of science were systematically searched for articles published between 1998 and 2019 screening CKD through physical indicators. Two reviewers independently screened the literature according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, extracted the data, and evaluated the quality of the methodology included in the study. Meta-analysis used the Stata 12.0 software. Results Nine studies were included, with a total of 202,283 subjects. Meta-analysis showed that according to the analysis of different genders in 6 studies, regardless of sex, WHtR was the area with the largest area under the curve (AUC). Except WHtR and visceral fat index (VFI) in women which showed no statistical difference, WHtR and other indicators were statistically different. In three studies without gender-based stratification, the area under the curve AUC for WHtR remained the largest, but only the difference between WHtR and BMI was statistically significant. When the Chinese population was considered as a subgroup, the area under the curve AUC for WHtR was the largest. Except for WHtR and VFI which showed no statistical difference in women, there was a statistically significant difference between WHtR and other indicators in men and women. Conclusion WHtR could be better prediction for CKD relative to other physical measurements. It also requires higher-quality prospective studies to verify the clinical application of WHtR.
