Metabolically stable apelin analogs: development and functional role in water balance and cardiovascular function.

Clin Sci (Lond)

January 2025

Center for Interdisciplinary Research in Biology, College de France, Institut National de la Santé et de la Recherche Médicale, Paris, France.

Apelin, a (neuro) vasoactive peptide, plays a prominent role in controlling water balance and cardiovascular functions. Apelin and its receptor co-localize with vasopressin in magnocellular vasopressinergic neurons. Apelin receptors (Apelin-Rs) are also expressed in the collecting ducts of the kidney, where vasopressin type 2 receptors are also present.

Background: Recent studies have also shown that clinical monitoring of quality of life (HRQoL) helps to recognize kidney transplant failure at an early stage.

Objectives: Given the potential of improving HRQoL for the long-term outcomes of kidney transplantation, we conducted a rapid review of the last 5 years of quality of life evaluation after adult allogeneic kidney transplantation.

Materials And Methods: A rapid evidence analysis was carried out using a literature search in MEDLINE in the period 2019-2024.

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.
