We aimed to assess the effects of sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibition on uric acid (urate) and gout in patients with CKD.METHODSThe EMPA-KIDNEY trial randomised 6609 patients with CKD (estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] ≥20 and <90 mL/min/1.73m2) to receive either empagliflozin 10 mg daily or matching placebo over a median of two years follow-up. Serum uric acid was measured at randomisation then 2 and 18 months of follow-up and the effects of empagliflozin were analysed using a pre-specified mixed model repeated measures approach. Participant-reported gout events were analysed in Cox regression models (first events) with the Andersen-Gill extension (total events). A post-hoc composite outcome included new initiation of uric acid lowering therapy or colchicine. EMPA-KIDNEY primary and kidney disease progression outcomes were also assessed in subgroups of baseline serum uric acid.RESULTSBaseline mean ± SD serum uric acid concentration was 431±114 µmol/L. Allocation to empagliflozin resulted in a study-average between-group difference in serum uric acid of -25.6 (95%CI -30.3,-21.0) µmol/L with larger effects in those with higher eGFR (trend P < 0.001) and without diabetes (heterogeneity P < 0.001). Compared to placebo, empagliflozin did not significantly reduce first or total gout events (HR 0.87, 95%CI 0.74-1.02 for the 595 first events, and 0.86, 0.72-1.03 for the 869 total events) with similar hazard ratios for the post-hoc composite and across subgroups, including by diabetes and eGFR. The effect of empagliflozin on the primary outcome and kidney disease progression outcomes were similar irrespective of baseline level of uric acid.CONCLUSIONSGLT2 inhibition reduces serum uric acid in patients with CKD with larger effects at higher eGFR and in the absence of diabetes. However, the effect on uric acid is modest and did not translate into reduced risk of gout in EMPA-KIDNEY.","PeriodicalId":19078,"journal":{"name":"Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation","volume":"40 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142261779","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Alkali therapy has been used to treat metabolic acidosis for decades. However, some concerns have been raised regarding its safety and long-term tolerability. Existing data suggest that dietary interventions can be beneficial in the management of chronic kidney disease (CKD). This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to summarize findings from studies comparing dietary interventions with placebo/usual care/no treatment in the management of metabolic acidosis in outpatient adults with CKD. Methods Medline, Embase, Cochrane Central, CINAHL, and Web of Science Core Collection were searched from inception to June 2022. Our primary outcome measure was change in serum bicarbonate. Any dietary intervention looking to manipulate dietary acid load was considered as an intervention. Data screening and extraction were performed by two independent reviewers. Random effects meta-analysis was performed to pool data. Results Dietary interventions resulted in clinically significant improvement in serum bicarbonate (mean difference (MD):2.98, 95% CI: [0.77, 5.19]; I2: 91%) and higher eGFR levels (MD: 3.16, 95%CI: [0.24, 6.08], I2: 67%) compared to controls. Serum potassium, albumin and body mass index remained unchanged. Dietary interventions were reported to be safe. Subgroup analyses indicated a superiority of plant-based over non-plant-based interventions in the improvement of acid-base balance and eGFR, however, these findings are from low quality and heterogenous studies. Conclusion Our findings support the beneficial effects of dietary interventions aimed at reducing acid or adding base in the management of metabolic acidosis and kidney function in adults with CKD, with no adverse effects on serum potassium and nutritional status. Well-designed clinical trials looking at the treatment of metabolic acidosis with dietary interventions with a focus on adding base through fruit and vegetables are required.","PeriodicalId":19078,"journal":{"name":"Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142261778","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The bone, intestine, and kidneys are important to the maintenance of Ca2+ homeostasis. Ninety-nine percent of body Ca2+ is stored in the skeleton as hydroxyapatite. The small, and to a lesser extent the large intestine absorbs Ca2+ from the diet. Once in the circulation, Ca2+ is filtered by the glomerulus and the majority, &gt;95%, is reabsorbed along the nephron. The remainder is excreted in the urine. Two general (re)absorptive pathways contribute to the vectorial transport of Ca2+ across renal and intestinal epithelia: 1) a paracellular pathway, which is reliant on claudins in the tight junction of epithelium and the electrochemical gradient and 2) a transcellular pathway, which requires different influx, intracellular buffering/shuttling and basolateral efflux mechanisms, to actively transport Ca2+ across the epithelial cell. Blood Ca2+ levels are maintained by hormones including parathyroid hormone, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, fibroblast growth factor 23 and through effects of Ca2+−sensing receptor (CaSR) signaling. Disruption of Ca2+ homeostasis can result in altered blood Ca2+ levels and/or hypercalciuria, the latter is a phenomenon closely linked to the formation of kidney stones. Genetic alterations affecting renal Ca2+ handling can cause hypercalciuria, an area of expanding investigation. This review explores the molecular mechanisms governing Ca2+ homeostasis by the intestine and kidneys and discusses clinical aspects of genetic disorders associated with Ca2+-based kidney stone disease.","PeriodicalId":19078,"journal":{"name":"Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation","volume":"65 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142225429","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods We evaluated 155 highly sensitized renal transplant recipients with cPRA class I + II &gt; 90% pre-transplant from 2015 to 2022. Patients with protocol biopsies within the first two weeks post-transplant were included. Results A total of 122 patients were included in the study. Of these, 13 (10.6%) were diagnosed with very early antibody-mediated rejection (veABMR) within the first two weeks post-transplant. This corresponds to 52% (13/25 patients) of all ABMR cases reported during the follow-up of this population. The graft survival rates at one and three years were significantly lower in patients with veABMR (p &lt; 0.001) compared to patients without rejection in the early protocol biopsy. In terms of severity, the veABMR cohort exhibited a hazard ratio (HR) of 10.33 (95% CI 3.23–33.06; p &lt; 0.001) for graft failure. The presence of donor-specific antibodies (DSA) class II on the day of transplantation and a higher percentage of eplet mismatch (EpMM), particularly EpMM DQA1, correlated with the development of veABMR.
