This study aimed to identify biomarkers for chronic kidney disease (CKD) by studying serum metabolomics. Serum samples were collected from 194 non-dialysis CKD patients and 317 healthy controls (HC). Using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS), untargeted metabolomics analysis was conducted. A random forest model was developed and validated in separate sets of HC and CKD patients. The serum metabolomic profiles of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) exhibited significant differences compared to healthy controls (HC). A total of 314 metabolites were identified as significantly different, with 179 being upregulated and 135 being downregulated in CKD patients. KEGG enrichment analysis revealed several key pathways, including arginine biosynthesis, phenylalanine metabolism, linoleic acid metabolism, and purine metabolism. The diagnostic efficacy of the classifier was high, with an area under the curve of 1 in the training and validation sets and 0.9435 in the cross-validation set. This study provides comprehensive insights into serum metabolism in non-dialysis CKD patients, highlighting the potential involvement of abnormal biological metabolism in CKD pathogenesis. Exploring metabolites may offer new possibilities for the management of CKD.

Repurposing the familiar: Future treatment options against chronic kidney disease.

J Pharm Pharmacol

January 2025

Department of Pharmacy, Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani, Pilani Campus, 333031, Rajasthan, India.

Objectives: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a serious health issue with rising morbidity and mortality rates. Despite advances in understanding its pathophysiology, effective therapeutic options are limited, necessitating innovative treatment approaches. Also, current frontline treatments that are available against CKD are not uniformly effective and often come with significant side effects.

Background: Several clinical trials showed that sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have protective effects against chronic kidney disease (CKD) in both patients with and those without type 2 diabetes mellitus. Since one of the renoprotective mechanisms of SGLT2 inhibitors is thought to be amelioration of glomerular hyperfiltration, we hypothesized that an enlarged glomerular diameter, which suggests increased single-nephron glomerular filtration rate, is associated with a reduction in urinary protein after treatment with an SGLT2 inhibitor.

Methods: This study was a retrospective multicentered study including 28 adult patients with CKD who underwent kidney biopsy and were then treated with dapagliflozin, an SGLT2 inhibitor.

Correlation between Serum Biomarkers and Disease Progression of Chronic Kidney Disease.

Br J Hosp Med (Lond)

December 2024

Dian Diagnostics Group Co., Ltd., Beijing DIAN Medical Laboratory, Beijing, China.

The present study aimed to assess the capability of biomarkers, including inflammatory indicators, anaemic markers, lipid markers, and renal function indices, to differentiate between different stages of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Expected to provide a new strategy for monitoring the development of CKD and stratified treatment management, providing valuable insights for future biomarker studies to explore early detection of CKD. The changes in inflammatory markers (interferon gamma [IFN-γ], interleukin [IL]-17A, IL-10, IL-6, IL-4, IL-2, IL-1 and white blood cells [WBC]), lipid markers (high-density lipoprotein cholesterol [HDL-c], low-density lipoprotein cholesterol [LDL-c], and triglyceride [TG]), indicators of kidney injury (serum creatinine [Scr] and blood urea nitrogen [BUN]) in 451 patients with different stages of CKD were examined.

Introduction: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a significant global health problem associated with high morbidity and mortality rates. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) utilizes tongue diagnosis to differentiate symptoms and predict prognosis. This study examines the relationship between tongue characteristics and CKD severity using an automatic tongue diagnosis system (ATDS), which captures tongue images non-invasively to provide objective diagnostic information.

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD), which progresses to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and requires maintenance hemodialysis (MHD), is a global health issue. Inflammation in MHD patients is associated with increased mortality and cardiovascular events. Zinc, essential for immune function and possessing anti-inflammatory properties, is frequently deficient in these patients and could potentially help mitigate inflammation.
