Chronic kidney disease (CKD) subjects suffer from high risk of cardiovascular mortality, and any intervention preventing the progression of CKD may have an enormous impact on public health. In the last decade, there has been growing awareness that the gut microbiota (GM) can play a pivotal role in controlling the pathogenesis of systemic inflammatory state and CKD progression. To ameliorate the quality of life in CKD subjects, the use of dietary supplements has increased over time. Among those, curcumin has demonstrated significant in vitro anti-inflammatory properties. In this pilot study, 24 CKD patients and 20 healthy volunteers were recruited. CKD patients followed nutritional counselling and were supplemented with curcumin (Meriva®) for six months. Different parameters were evaluated at baseline and after 3–6 months: uremic toxins, metagenomic of GM, and nutritional, inflammatory, and oxidative status. Curcumin significantly reduced plasma pro-inflammatory mediators (CCL-2, IFN-γ, and IL-4) and lipid peroxidation. Regarding GM, after 6 months of curcumin supplementation, Escherichia-Shigella was significantly lower, while Lachnoclostridium was significant higher. Notably, at family level, Lactobacillaceae spp. were found significantly higher in the last 3 months of supplementation. No adverse events were observed in the supplemented group, confirming the good safety profile of curcumin phytosome after long-term administration.

The article presents the results of a study to evaluate the effectiveness of antiaggregant therapy on the functional status of the kidneys in 115 patients with stage II and III chronic kidney disease on the basis of a comparative study of dipyridamole and allthrombosepin. Studies have shown that long-term administration of allthrombosepin to patients has led to improved renal function.

The article presents the results of a study to assess the functional reserve of the kidneys against the background of a comparative study of antiaggregant therapy dipyridamole and allthrombosepin in 50 patients with a relatively early stage of chronic kidney disease. Studies have shown that long-term administration of allthrombosepin to patients has resulted in better maintenance of kidney functional reserves. Therefore, our research has once again confirmed that diphtheridamol, which is widely used as an antiaggregant drug in chronic kidney disease, does not lag behind the domestic raw material allthrombosepin

Reduced glomerular filtration rate and presence of albuminuria are both associated with increased risk of several poor outcomes. People with chronic kidney disease also commonly suffer from lower quality of life than their age-matched peers. The experiences reported by patients with chronic kidney disease include being shocked by the diagnosis, being uncertain about the cause and worrying about progression and future treatment. Issues such as depression, pain and fatigue are common in people with chronic kidney disease. Helping people to live well with a long-term condition like chronic kidney disease should include efforts to reduce the risk of adverse events occurring in the future, and consider what can be done to enhance quality of life now. Clinicians can help by being aware of the patient perspective, communicating clearly and recommending interventions that reduce future risk as well as recognising and treating symptoms. Assessing overall treatment burden is an important component of management and non-pharmacological interventions that may improve mobility, strength and pain should be considered.

Maternal chronic kidney disease (CKD) during pregnancy causes adverse fetal programming. Nitric oxide (NO) deficiency, gut microbiota dysbiosis, and dysregulated renin-angiotensin system (RAS) during pregnancy are linked to the development of hypertension in adult offspring. We examined whether maternal adenine-induced CKD can program hypertension and kidney disease in adult male offspring. We also aimed to identify potential mechanisms, including alterations of gut microbiota composition, increased trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO), reduced NO bioavailability, and dysregulation of the RAS. To construct a maternal CKD model, female Sprague-Dawley rats received regular chow (control group) or chow supplemented with 0.5% adenine (CKD group) for 3 weeks before pregnancy. Mother rats were sacrificed on gestational day 21 to analyze placentas and fetuses. Male offspring (n = 8/group) were sacrificed at 12 weeks of age. Adenine-fed rats developed renal dysfunction, glomerular and tubulointerstitial damage, hypertension, placental abnormalities, and reduced fetal weights. Additionally, maternal adenine-induced CKD caused hypertension and renal hypertrophy in adult male offspring. These adverse pregnancy and offspring outcomes are associated with alterations of gut microbiota composition, increased uremic toxin asymmetric and symmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA and SDMA), increased microbiota-derived uremic toxin TMAO, reduced microbiota-derived metabolite acetate and butyrate levels, and dysregulation of the intrarenal RAS. Our results indicated that adenine-induced maternal CKD could be an appropriate model for studying uremia-related adverse pregnancy and offspring outcomes. Targeting NO pathway, microbiota metabolite TMAO, and the RAS might be potential therapeutic strategies to improve maternal CKD-induced adverse pregnancy and offspring outcomes.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) refers to long-term impairment of renal function. It is predominantly a disease of older people and the true extent of this has only recently been recognized. CKD has a number of implications including increased cardiovascular risk, secondary complications such as renal anaemia and bone disease and a small but significant risk of progression to established renal failure (ERF). It is associated with significant morbidity, mortality and healthcare costs and, against the background of an ageing population and the rising prevalence of type 2 diabetes, represents a growing public health problem. Evidence that specific interventions can reduce the cardiovascular risk associated with CKD and the risk of progressive CKD, as well as improving quality of life, has highlighted the importance of early detection of this disease.

Indwelling venous catheters provide essential functional vascular access for patients requiring emergent or urgent hemodialysis, though their long-term use is practically limited by known complications including increased rates of infection as compared with surgically created arteriovenous (AV) fistulas. Converging lines of evidence also support that chronic kidney disease (CKD) represents a pro-inflammatory state, an environment with active cellular and inflammatory pathobiology. Accordingly, implantation of catheters for even short-term use is associated with a fibrinthrombin-cellular matrix often forming around the catheter. This “biomass” long considered innocuous, can cause occlusion of the catheter, contributing to reduced flow rates during dialysis. It may also result in embolic injury of downstream structures. This case report identifies a complex catheter-related biomass remaining after removal of the hemodialysis catheter and focuses on two concerns. First, intravenous masses associated with the catheter, or remaining after removal may provoke embolic and direct hemodynamic-related injury. But perhaps less obvious is their potential linkage to vascular immunoreactivity found in CKD. This latter potential may need to be part of the larger discussion surrounding the outcomes of such pathologic immunoresponsiveness in CKD patients on hemodialysis.

A growing body of study have documented the association of gut dysbiosis or fecal metabolites with chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, it is not clear whether the phenomenon simply reflects the microenvironment changes correlated with the CKD severity or contributes to the progression of CKD. In this study, we identified the gut microbiota and metabolite in feces samples correlated with CKD severity using the Nanopore long-read sequencing platform and UPLC-coupled MS/MS approach. A cross-sectional cohort study was performed from 1 June 2020 to 31 December 2020. One hundred and fifty-six clinical participants, including 60 healthy enrollees and 96 Stage 1–5 CKD patients, were enrolled in this study. The ROC curve generated with the relative abundance of Klebsiella pneumonia or S-Adenosylhomocysteine showed a gradual increase with the CKD severity. Our results further revealed the positive correlation of increased K. pneumonia and S-Adenosylhomocysteine in gut environment, which may be of etiological importance to the deterioration of a CKD patient. In that sense, the microbiota or metabolite changes constitute potential candidates for evaluating the progression of CKD.
