Renalase is predominantly expressed in the kidney, where it plays a role in catecholamine metabolism and blood pressure regulation. Moderate-intensity exercise (MEX) has been shown to increase the concentration of renalase in the blood and to reduce renal function in humans. Moreover, such exercise was also reported to increase catecholamine levels. Here, we examined renalase concentration in the blood and renalase expression levels in different organs after MEX in rats. Twelve male Wistar rats were made to run on a treadmill (MEX group) for 60 min at 20 m·min , after resting for 15 min. The control group rats were euthanized after resting on the treadmill. Tissue and blood samples were analyzed using western blotting, real-time RT-PCR and ELISA. Overall, the concentrations of renalase in the blood were significantly higher in the MEX group than that in the control group. Renalase expression was decreased in the kidney after 60 min of exercise, whereas the expression of renalase mRNA and protein in the extensor digitorum longus and plantaris muscles, respectively, increased after exercise. However, the expression of renalase in the other tissues examined did not change after acute exercise. In conclusion, we report that MEX for 60 min increases both renalase concentration in the blood and its expression in skeletal muscle.

Several trials have evaluated diuretic-based strategies to improve symptoms and outcomes in patients with acute heart failure (AHF). The authors sought to summarize the effect of different combination strategies on symptoms, physical signs, physiological variables, and outcomes in patients with AHF. Twelve trials were identified that assessed the addition of thiazide diuretics, sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors, mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists, vasopressin receptor antagonists, carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, or loop diuretic intensification to conventional therapy for AHF.

A dysregulated proinflammatory microenvironment is considered one of the reasons why current therapies of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) do not secure disease control. Therefore, the development of BCR-ABL1-independent therapies is encouraged. Renalase (RNLS) is a multifunctional protein that exhibits both enzymatic and non-enzymatic cytokine-like properties, along with potent anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic effects.

Diabetic nephropathy (DN) presents a significant public health challenge due to its high rate of incidence and severe health consequences. Renalase has been identified as having renal-protective properties. A key contributor to albuminuria in DN patients is podocyte loss.

Importance: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication during hospitalization and is associated with adverse outcomes.
Objective: To evaluate whether diagnostic and therapeutic recommendations sent by a kidney action team through the electronic health record improve outcomes among patients hospitalized with AKI compared with usual care.
Design, Setting, And Participants: Randomized clinical trial conducted at 7 hospitals in 2 health systems: in New Haven, Bridgeport, New London, and Waterbury, Connecticut, and Westerly, Rhode Island; and in Baltimore, Maryland.

Background: Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a severe complication of diabetes mellitus and is associated with an increased risk of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and cardiovascular events. Early diagnosis and monitoring of DKD are crucial for implementing appropriate interventions. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between serum renalase (RNLS) levels, DKD, and diabetic macroangiopathy in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
