Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects over 13% of the population, totaling more than 800 million individuals worldwide. Timely identification and intervention are crucial to delay CKD progression and improve patient outcomes. This research focuses on developing a predictive model to classify diabetic patients showing signs of kidney function impairment based on their CKD development risk.

While changes in glomerular function and structure may herald diabetic kidney disease (DKD), many studies have underscored the significance of tubule-interstitial changes in the progression of DKD. Indeed, tubule-interstitial fibrosis may be the most important determinant of progression of DKD as in many forms of chronic glomerulopathies. The mechanisms underlying the effects of tubular changes on glomerular function in DKD have intrigued many investigators, and therefore, the signaling mechanisms underlying the cross-talk between tubular cells and glomerular cells have been the focus of investigation in many recent studies.

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a vital organelle responsible for protein quality control, including the folding, modification, and transport of proteins. When misfolded or unfolded proteins accumulate in the ER, it triggers endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) and activates the unfolded protein response (UPR) to restore ER homeostasis. However, prolonged or excessive ERS can lead to apoptosis.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is closely linked to the aging process, making the identification of protein biomarkers that reflect aging in specific organs and tissues crucial for a deeper understanding of this phenomenon. This study aimed to identify potential aging-related proteins present in the urine of CKD patients. Utilizing liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) proteomic analysis, we identified a total of 1,712 proteins in the urine samples from both healthy controls and CKD patients in our discovery cohort.

Background: Diabetes is the leading cause of kidney disease and contributes to 38% of kidney failure requiring dialysis. A gap in detection and management of type 2 diabetes (T2D) in chronic kidney disease (CKD) exists in primary care. Community pharmacists are positioned to support those not able to access kidney care through traditional pathways.
