Several antiretrovirals including dolutegravir, rilpivirine and cobicistat inhibit tubular creatinine secretion, leading to benign increases in serum creatinine and reductions in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). This commentary discusses the magnitude and pattern of eGFR decline, whether this can be overcome by applying a standardized correction factor (as reported by Brunet et al. in Antiviral Therapy), the value of serial eGFR measures to detect rapid eGFR decline and the potential utility of cystatin C as an alternative biomarker of kidney function.

Background: Renal dysfunction is significantly associated with poor prognosis in patients with heart failure. However, the prognostic significance of proteinuria as a potential marker of an impaired glomerular filtration barrier in acute heart failure (AHF) remains unclear. We aimed to investigate the prognostic value of urinary protein/creatinine ratio (PCR) in patients with AHF.

Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a well-known complication of critical illnesses, significantly affecting morbidity and the risk of death. Diuretics are widely used to ameliorate excess fluid accumulation and oliguria associated with AKI. Their popularity stems from their ability to reduce the energy demands of renal tubular cells by inhibiting transporters and flushing out intratubular casts.

Electronic address:
Background: Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) often results in renal impairment. While the presence of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) is consistently observed, their specific impact on IRI is not yet defined. Sivelestat sodium, an inhibitor of neutrophil elastase which is crucial for NET formation, may offer a therapeutic approach to renal IRI, warranting further research.
