We aimed to validate the Klinrisk machine learning model for prediction of CKD progression in large US commercial, Medicare, and Medicaid populations.METHODSWe developed three cohorts, consisting of insured adults enrolled in a) commercial, b) Medicare, and c) Medicaid plans between 01/01/2007 and 12/31/2020 with ≥1 serum creatinine test, an eGFR between 15ml/min/1.73m 2 and 180ml/min/1.73m 2 , and ≥7 of the 19 other laboratory analytes available. Two primary sub-cohorts were evaluated within each insurer: (1) all patients with ≥7 laboratory analytes; and (2) patients in (1) with available urinalysis results. Disease progression was defined as the composite outcome of a sustained 40% decline in eGFR or kidney failure. Discrimination, accuracy, and calibration were assessed using the area under the receiver operator characteristic curve (AUC), Brier scores, and calibration plots.RESULTSIn the commercial cohort, the Klinrisk model achieved AUCs ranging from 0.83 (95% confidence interval: 0.82 - 0.83) to 0.87 (0.86 - 0.87) and a maximum Brier score of 0.005 (0.0005 - 0.005) at 2 years. In Medicare patients, AUCs ranged from 0.80 (0.79 - 0.80) to 0.81 (0.80 - 0.82), with a maximum Brier score of 0.026 (0.025 - 0.027). In Medicaid patients, we found AUCs ranging from 0.82 (0.82 - 0.82) to 0.84 (0.82 - 0.86) and a maximum Brier score of 0.014 (0.012 - 0.015).CONCLUSIONSThe Klinrisk machine learning model was accurate in predicting CKD progression in 4.8 million US adults across commercial, Medicare, and Medicaid populations.","PeriodicalId":17217,"journal":{"name":"Journal of The American Society of Nephrology","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.6,"publicationDate":"2025-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144792132","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Kidney transplant rejection and graft failure are reported as the most feared outcomes by patients. Timely diagnosis of rejection and early treatment enable interventions which may attenuate alloimmune processes before irreversible graft injury has occurred. The evolving landscape of noninvasive diagnostic tools presents promising opportunities for early detection of kidney allograft rejection. These tools, alone or combined, may promptly signal the need for a biopsy, reduce the need for surveillance biopsies, or even potentially inform treatment monitoring. Therefore, they are of utmost importance, and their use should be informed by evidence, guiding both patients and their clinical teams. This review will cover noninvasive tests used for the diagnosis of kidney allograft rejection available or soon to be available in the clinical setting, and describe their diagnostic context, strengths and limitations, while proposing an ideal clinical framework for their use.","PeriodicalId":17217,"journal":{"name":"Journal of The American Society of Nephrology","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.6,"publicationDate":"2025-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144792069","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Patients with concomitant kidney disease represent a particularly vulnerable population with higher rates of hospitalization compared to patients with heart failure and normal kidney function.

In this study, we tested the hypothesis that microbes modulate glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in health and chronic kidney disease.METHODSTo uncover the effect of gut microbiota on kidney function in health and in a chronic kidney disease (CKD) model, we examined GFR, plasma creatinine, and kidney histology in mice when gut microbes were manipulated.RESULTSIn healthy mice, GFR was significantly increased when gut microbiota were either suppressed (oral antibiotics) or absent (germ-free). In mice challenged with adenine diet to induce CKD with impaired GFR, suppressing gut microbes with antibiotics also increased GFR. In females on an adenine diet, antibiotics increased GFR versus adenine alone on weeks 4 and 6. In males, antibiotics elevated GFR on week 2. Adenine diet significantly increased plasma creatinine and kidney fibrosis; this was suppressed by antibiotics in both sexes. To explore the mechanism, we tested the hypothesis that altered tubuloglomerular feedback contributes to elevated GFR using the sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor empagliflozin; empagliflozin impairs Na+ reabsorption in the proximal tubule, altering tubuloglomerular feedback. Empagliflozin impaired antibiotic-induced GFR increases on week 3 but not week 5, suggesting that altered tubuloglomerular feedback contributes to the initial increase in GFR.CONCLUSIONSThe microbiome plays a key role in 'setting' baseline GFR by a mechanism which partially involves tubuloglomerular feedback, and, suppressing gut microbes can elevate GFR even in CKD mice.","PeriodicalId":17217,"journal":{"name":"Journal of The American Society of Nephrology","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.6,"publicationDate":"2025-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144737354","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
