Chronic kidney disease is a pathology progressively increasing in the world. Patients with renal disease have an about 20 times greater chance of dying for cardiovascular disease than to reach the stage of dialysis and, compared to general population, they have a three times greater risk of developing acute myocardial infarction. Based on these considerations, we analyzed the most important metabolic changes that occur in renal failure, predisposing to ischemic heart disease. Changes in lipids and calcium-phosphorus metabolism, inflammation and oxidative stress, hyperhomocysteinemia, renin-angiotensin-aldosterone axis, anemia, left ventricular hypertrophy and albuminuria have been considered.

Exon location of glycine substitutions impacts kidney survival in autosomal dominant Alport Syndrome.

Nephrol Dial Transplant

January 2025

Department of Nephrology, Kidney Transplantation and Dialysis, CHU Lille, University of Lille, Lille, France.

Background And Hypothesis: Unlike X-linked or autosomal recessive Alport Syndrome, no clear genotype/phenotype correlation has yet been demonstrated in patients carrying a single variant of COL4A3 or COL4A4.

Methods: We carried out a multicenter retrospective study to assess the risk factors involved in renal survival in patients presenting a single pathogenic variant on COL4A3 or COL4A4.

Results: 97 patients presenting a single pathogenic variant of COL4A3 or COL4A4 were included.

Maximal oxygen uptake (VOmax) in healthy subjects is primarily limited by systemic oxygen delivery. In chronic kidney disease (CKD), VOmax is potentially reduced by both central and peripheral factors. We aimed to investigate the effect on VOpeak of adding arm exercise to leg exercise.

Background: Dysfunction in podocyte mitophagy has been identified as a contributing factor to the onset and progression of diabetic nephropathy (DN), and BMAL1 plays an important role in the regulation of mitophagy. Thus, this study intended to examine the impact of BMAL1 on podocyte mitophagy in DN and elucidate its underlying mechanisms.

Materials And Methods: High D-glucose (HG)-treated MPC5 cells was used as a podocyte injury model for investigating the potential roles of BMAL1 in DN.

Background: The treatment options to delay the progression of diabetic nephropathy (DN), a key contributor to chronic kidney disease (CKD), are urgently needed. Previous studies reported that traditional Chinese medicine Panax notoginseng (PNG) exerted beneficial effects on DN. However, the renoprotective effects of Notoginsenoside R2 (NR2), an active component of PNG, on DN have not been investigated.

Inferior vena cava diameter in patients with chronic heart failure and chronic kidney disease: a retrospective study.

Eur J Med Res

January 2025

Medical Big Data Research Center, Medical Innovation Research Division, Chinese PLA General Hospital, 28 Fuxing RD., Beijing, 100853, China.

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) carries the highest population attributable risk for mortality among all comorbidities in chronic heart failure (CHF). No studies about the association between inferior vena cava (IVC) diameter and all-cause mortality in patients with the comorbidity of CKD and CHF has been published.

Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, a total of 1327 patients with CHF and CKD were included.
