These limitations include device weight and bulk, ergonomics considerations, technical complexity, vascular access challenges, and limited remote patient monitoring. Recent years have witnessed a resurgence in research and development of prototype wearable kidney replacement devices incorporating innovations in miniaturization, new biomaterials, and new methods for toxin clearance and dialysate regeneration. Recent work has built on five decades of incremental innovation in wearable dialysis concepts and prototypes, starting from the work by Kolff in the 1970s.

Although diabetic kidney disease is the most common cause of glomerular disease, nondiabetic causes include malignancy, systemic autoimmune conditions, drug effects, or genetic conditions. Nondiabetic glomerular diseases are rare diseases, with a paucity of high-quality clinical trials in this area. Furthermore, late referral can result in poor patient outcomes. This article reviews the current management of nondiabetic glomerular disease and explores the latest developments in drug treatment in this area. Current treatment of nondiabetic glomerular disease aims to manage complications (edema, hypertension, proteinuria, hyperlipidemia, hypercoagulability, and thrombosis) as well as target the underlying cause of glomerular disease. Treatment options include renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors, statins/nonstatin alternatives, loop diuretics, anticoagulation agents, immunosuppressives, and lifestyle and dietary modifications. Effective treatment of nondiabetic glomerular disease is limited by heterogeneity and a lack of understanding of the disease pathogenesis. Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors and nonsteroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (ns-MRAs, such as finerenone), with their broad anti-inflammatory and antifibrotic effects, have emerged as valuable therapeutic options for a range of cardiorenal conditions, including CKD. ns-MRAs are an evolving drug class of particular interest for the future treatment of nondiabetic glomerular disease, and there is evidence that these agents may improve kidney prognosis in various subgroups of patients with CKD. The benefits offered by ns-MRAs may present an opportunity to reduce the progression of CKD from a spectrum of glomerular disease. Several novel ns-MRA are in clinical development for both diabetic and nondiabetic CKD.</p>","PeriodicalId":50681,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":8.5,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141749572","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}

The bias and accuracy of creatinine-based GFR estimates (eGFR) in patients with non-nephrotic proteinuria need better characterization.METHODSWe utilized data from the Ramipril in non-diabetic renal failure (REIN 1) and REIN 2 trials involving non-diabetic chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients with proteinuria to compare eGFRs derived from the CKD Epidemiology Consortium (CKD-EPI)formulas (with and without race), and the European Kidney Function Consortium (EKFC) equations with iohexol clearance (a gold-standard GFR measure, measured glomerular filtration rate [mGFR]). Bias was defined as the median difference between eGFR and mGFR, while accuracy was assessed using P30 and P15 metrics, which represent the percentage of eGFR values within ±30% and ±15% of mGFR, respectively.RESULTSThe median bias of the three formulas being compared did not differ, being minimal and in a strict range (0.04 to 0.05 ml/ml/min/1.73m2) in the REIN 1 study and (-0.04 to -0.03 ml/min/1.73 m2) in the REIN 2 study. These findings were confirmed in analyses stratified by age and mGFR. The global accuracy of the three formulas regarding P30% showed sufficient accuracy (P30 >75%) in REIN 1 and all strata in REIN 2, but the mGFR stratum <15 ml/min/1.73m2.CONCLUSIONThe CKD-EPI (with and without race), and EKFC equations show no significant bias and sufficient accuracy in patients with proteinuria.
