CSL112 (Apolipoprotein A-I [human]) is an intravenous preparation of apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I), formulated with phosphatidylcholine (PC) and stabilized with sucrose, in development to prevent early recurrent cardiovascular events following acute myocardial infarction (AMI). This phase 1 study was designed to determine if moderate renal impairment (RI) influenced the pharmacokinetics (PK) and safety of CSL112. Thirty-two subjects, 16 with moderate RI (estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] ≥ 30 and < 60 mL/min/1.73 m ) and 16 age-, sex-, and weight-matched subjects with normal renal function (eGFR ≥ 90 mL/min/1.73 m ) were randomized 3:1 to receive a single infusion of CSL112 2 g (n = 6) or placebo (n = 2), or CSL112 6 g (n = 6) or placebo (n = 2). PK sampling was at prespecified times from 48 hours prior to 144 hours following infusions, with final safety assessments at 90 days. Renal and hepatic safety, and adverse events (AEs) were monitored throughout the study. Plasma apoA-I and PC PK profiles were similar between renal function cohorts at both doses. For CSL112 6 g mean ± SD apoA-I AUC was 7670 ± 1900 and 9170 ± 2910 mg·h/dL in normal renal function and moderate RI subjects, respectively. Renal apoA-I clearance was <1% of CSL112 dose. In moderate RI, sucrose clearance was slower; however, approximately 70% was excreted within 48 hours in both renal function cohorts. No CSL112-related serious AEs or clinically significant renal or hepatic safety changes were observed. Dose adjustment of CSL112 is not required in subjects with moderate RI, supporting its further investigation in AMI patients with moderate RI.

This study aimed to develop a predictive model and construct a graded nomogram to estimate the risk of severe acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients without preexisting kidney dysfunction undergoing liver transplantation (LT). Patients undergoing LT between January 2022 and June 2023 were prospectively screened. Severe AKI was defined as Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes stage 3.

The renal baroreflex describes the dose-dependent relation between renal pressure and renin release. Former studies have approximated this relation through animal experiments, but the exact shape of the response curve and its alteration by hypertension remain unclear. Therefore, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis on the renal baroreflex in healthy and hypertensive animals.

Lithium-induced kidney injury is commonly associated with the development of nephrogenic diabetes insipidus. Longer term lithium exposure is associated with the development of chronic interstitial fibrosis. The mechanisms of lithium-induced kidney injury are multifaceted, affecting many intracellular cell signaling pathways associated with cell cycle regulation, cell proliferation, and subsequent increased extracellular matrix formation and interstitial fibrosis.

Autosomal recessive renal tubular dysgenesis (RTD) is a rare genetic disorder caused by defects in the renin-angiotensin system, with the most common outcomes being foetal or neonatal death from renal failure, pulmonary hypoplasia and/or refractory arterial hypotension. A small proportion of patients survive past the neonatal period. We present the case of a toddler with RTD due to compound heterozygous variants in the gene that codes for ACE, who has not required renal replacement therapy to date and in whom fludrocortisone has achieved electrolyte and acid/base balance.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is currently a serious global health problem, due to its high risk of progression, prevalence and mortality. It not only affects the kidneys but also causes multi-organ damage. Moreover, there is no effective pharmacological treatment, and the only available alternatives are dialysis or transplantation, both of which impose a significant financial burden on healthcare systems.
