The Klotho protein, known as an antiaging protein, is expressed mainly in the kidney, and kidney disorders may contribute to the disrupted expression of renal Klotho. The purpose of this systematic review was to determine if there are biological and nutraceutical therapies that increase the expression of Klotho and can help prevent complications associated with chronic kidney disease. A systematic literature review was carried out through the consultation of PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science. Records between the years 2012 and 2022 in Spanish and English were selected. Cross-sectional or prevalence and analytical studies were included that evaluated the effects of Klotho therapy. A total of 22 studies were identified after the critical reading of these selected studies: 3 investigated the association between Klotho and growth factors, 2 evaluated the relationship between the concentration of Klotho and the type of fibrosis, 3 focused on the relationship between vascular calcifications and vitamin D, 2 assessed the relationship between Klotho and bicarbonate, 2 investigated the relationship between proteinuria and Klotho, 1 demonstrated the applicability of synthetic antibodies as a support for Klotho deficiency, 1 investigated Klotho hypermethylation as a renal biomarker, 2 investigated the relationship between proteinuria and Klotho, 4 linked Klotho as an early marker of chronic kidney disease, and 1 investigated Klotho levels in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease. In conclusion, no study has addressed the comparison of these therapies in the context of their use with nutraceutical agents that raise the expression of Klotho.

In the early stages, chronic kidney disease (CKD) can be asymptomatic, marking diagnosis difficult. This study aimed to investigate the diagnostic role and potential regulatory mechanisms of nucleolar protein 14 (NOP14) -antisense RNA 1 (AS1) in patients with CKD. Herein, 68 patients with CKD, 65 patients with CKD undergoing peridialysis, and 80 healthy adults were included.

Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of first-line targeted synthetic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (tsDMARDs) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and chronic kidney disease (CKD).
Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 216 patients with RA prescribed their first tsDMARDs at two hospitals between 2013 and 2022. Dose reduction and contraindication guidelines for tsDMARDs according to kidney function were followed.

Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common in critically ill patients and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Its complications often require renal replacement therapy (RRT). Invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) and infections are considered risk factors for the occurrence of AKI.

Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is a rare neoplastic disease affecting the lung, kidney, and lymphatic system with a molecular mechanism of tuberous sclerosis complex 2 (TSC2) mutations. Vascular endothelial growth factor D (VEGF-D), a ligand for vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 3 (VEGFR3), is a diagnostic biomarker of LAM and is associated with lymphatic circulation abnormalities. This study explored the interaction between LAM cells and lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) and the effects of rapamycin on this interaction, which may help to identify new targets for LAM treatment.

Hypertension (HT) is a prevalent medical condition showing an increasing incidence rate in various populations over recent years. Long-term hypertension increases the risk of the occurrence of hypertensive nephropathy (HTN), which is also a health-threatening disorder. Given that very little is known about the pathogenesis of HTN, this study was designed to identify disease biomarkers, which enable early diagnosis of the disease, through the utilization of high-throughput untargeted metabolomics strategies.
