Purpose: To establish the population pharmacokinetic (PPK) model of cyclosporine (CsA) in Chinese renal transplant recipients and evaluate the influence of various indexes including CYP3A5 and MDR1 genetic polymorphism on pharmacokinetic parameters.
Methods: Trough (C(0)) and peak (C(2)) CsA concentration were monitored conventionally after renal transplantation. C(0) and C(2) were collected for 5 months in 146 patients. The CYP3A5*3 genotype and MDR1 haplotype were determined by methods based on amplification refractory mutant PCR. The data were analyzed by nonlinear mixed-effect modeling (NONMEM). The model was evaluated using goodness of fit plots and relative error measurements. Physiological and pathological factors including CYP3A5 and MDR1 genotypes were evaluated as covariates of CsA pharmacokinetic parameters.
Results: Pharmacokinetics of CsA was best described by a one-compartment disposition model followed a first-order absorption process. The estimated clearance (CL/F) was 49.5 l·h(-1), the volume of distribution (Vd/F) was 226 l. K(a) was fixed as 1.25 h(-1). Post-transplant data, body weight, total bilirubin, and MDR1 genotype were covariates of CL/F (P < 0.005). Gender and MDR1 haplotype were covariates of Vd/F (P < 0.005). The AUC estimated based on the Bayesian method was 7,465 ± 1,708 ng·h·ml(-1) (2,946 ∼13,926 ng·h·ml(-1)).
Conclusion: The PPK model developed in this study could be used to optimize CsA dose for Chinese renal transplant recipients by using conventional therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) data.

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the incidence, contributing factors, and clinical outcomes of acquired cystic kidney disease (ACKD) in children undergoing kidney replacement therapy (KRT).
Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional, territory-wide study at the designated pediatric nephrology center in Hong Kong. ACKD was defined as the presence of ≥ 3 cysts in the native kidneys, excluding congenital or hereditary cystic diseases.

Unlabelled: Despite the fact that canagliflozin (Cana), a sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor, is an anti-diabetic medication with additional effects on the kidney, there is limited experimental data to deliberate its hepato-reno-protective potentiality. Acetaminophen (APAP) overdose remains one of the prominent contributors to hepato-renal damage.
Aim: Our study assessed the novel effect of Cana against APAP-induced toxicities.

Background: Optimised use of kidney function information might improve cardiac risk prediction in noncardiac surgery.
Methods: In 35,815 patients from the VISION cohort study and 9219 patients from the POISE-2 trial who were ≥45 yr old and underwent nonurgent inpatient noncardiac surgery, we examined (by age and sex) the association between continuous nonlinear preoperative estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and the composite of myocardial injury after noncardiac surgery, nonfatal cardiac arrest, or death owing to a cardiac cause within 30 days after surgery. We estimated contributions of predictive information, C-statistic, and net benefit from eGFR and other common patient and surgical characteristics to large multivariable models.

Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication in hospitalized older patients, associated with increased morbidity, mortality, and health care costs. Major adverse kidney events within 30 days (MAKE30), a composite of death, new renal replacement therapy, or persistent renal dysfunction, has been recommended as a patient-centered endpoint for clinical trials involving AKI.
Objective: This study aimed to develop and validate a machine learning-based model to predict MAKE30 in hospitalized older patients with AKI.

Background: Many studies have developed or validated predictive models to estimate the risk of sarcopenia in dialysis patients, but the quality of model development and the applicability of the models remain unclear.
Objective: To systematically review and critically evaluate currently available predictive models for sarcopenia in dialysis patients.
Methods: We systematically searched five databases until March 2024.
