Aims: We prospectively investigated the association of urinary tubule injury markers with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) decline in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes.
Methods: Urinary kidney injury molecule 1 (KIM-1), neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), liver-type fatty-acid-binding protein (L-FABP), and urinary albumin-to creatinine ratio (UACR) were measured in 2,685 participants with type 2 diabetes. Renal outcomes were ≥ 30% decline in eGFR from the baseline and annual eGFR decline for 5 years.
Results: In normoalbuminuric participants, no tubular markers were associated with ≥ 30% decline in eGFR or annual eGFR changes. In those with UACR ≥ 30 mg/gCr, hazard ratios for ≥ 30% eGFR decline were 1.37 (95% confident interval (CI) 1.07-1.75) for urinary KIM-1 (>1.5 µg/gCr), 1.46 (95% CI 1.13-1.66) for urinary NGAL (>16.4 µg/gCr), and 1.26 (95% CI 0.94-1.66) for urinary L-FABP (>12.5 µg/gCr), 2.61 (95% CI 1.64-4.17) for the combination of 3 tubular markers above the cutoff after multivariable adjustments including UACR and eGFR.
Conclusions: The current study demonstrated that urinary tubule injury markers and their combination were significant predictors for the future eGFR decline in those with type 2 diabetes and albuminuria independently of UACR and eGFR. Urinary tubular markers may be useful to identify high-risk patients with albuminuria.

Background: Chronic-kidney-disease (CKD) is prevalent among adults undergoing noncardiac surgery, with surgery-related factors potentially worsening CKD or triggering acute kidney injury (AKI). We hypothesized that CKD patients experience more kidney function decline within one to two years post-surgery than those without CKD, particularly if they develop AKI.
Methods: We conducted a single-center retrospective cohort study, including noncardiac surgery patients with documented creatinine preoperative and between 1 and 2 years after surgery.

Background: We have previously studied biomarkers of tubular health (EGF), injury (KIM-1), dysfunction (alpha-1 microglobulin), and inflammation (TNFR-1, TNFR-2, MCP-1, YKL-40, suPAR), and demonstrated that plasma KIM-1, TNFR-1, TNFR-2 and urine KIM-1, EGF, MCP-1, urine alpha-1 microglobulin are each independently associated with CKD progression in children. In this study, we used bootstrapped survival trees to identify a combination of biomarkers to predict CKD progression in children.
Methods: The CKiD Cohort Study prospectively enrolled children 6 months to 16 years old with an eGFR of 30-90 ml/min/1.

Background: IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is the most common primary glomerulonephritis in the world and is an important cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and kidney failure. Outcomes are heterogeneous, and accurate risk stratification is important to identify the highest risk individuals for treatment and to help prevent disease progression. The Oxford classification (OC) is an internationally adopted standard for renal biopsy reporting in IgAN, which measures the degree of histological abnormalities and predicts prognosis.

Methods And Results: The REAL-CAD (Randomized Evaluation of Aggressive or Moderate Lipid Lowering Therapy With Pitavastatin in Coronary Artery Disease) study is a prospective, multicenter, randomized trial of high-dose (pitavastatin 4 mg/day) or low-dose (pitavastatin 1 mg/day) statin therapy in 12 118 patients with chronic coronary syndrome. The primary end point was a composite of cardiovascular death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, stroke, or unstable angina requiring hospitalization (major adverse cardiac and cerebral events [MACCE]).

Background: The impact of long-term renal function change on stroke outcomes remains unclear. This study used the CNSR-III (Third China National Stroke Registry) cohort to determine whether changes in estimated glomerular filtration rate based on creatinine and cystatin C (eGFR) during the first year post stroke were associated with 5-year stroke outcomes.
Methods And Results: We included 4270 patients with centrally tested serum creatinine and cystatin C at admission and 1 year post admission and evaluated 5-year follow-up data.
