Article Abstract

Introduction: Preeclampsia is a pregnancy syndrome defined by high blood pressure (≥140/90 mmHg) and at least one other associated complication, including proteinuria, maternal organ dysfunction, or uteroplacental dysfunction, after 20 weeks of gestation. The long-term effects of this disease on the kidneys are still not fully understood. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the risk of chronic kidney disease after preeclampsia and the determinants of these sequelae.

Material And Methods: We included observational studies on kidney outcomes from cohorts of women with a history of preeclampsia from the PubMed, Web of Science, and Cochrane databases.

Results: Two hundred and seventy-seven articles were evaluated. Thirty-one (published between 2000 and 2022) were included in this systematic review. Twenty-two authors focused on the risk of chronic kidney disease and/or persistent proteinuria. Five authors found a more significant risk of kidney disease after preeclampsia, with a risk ranging from two to three times higher. Regarding end-stage kidney disease, most studies found a risk of between 4 and 14 times higher of developing end-stage kidney disease after preeclampsia. For several authors, early preeclampsia, preterm delivery, and recurrent pregnancies complicated by preeclampsia seemed to be the three major factors for determining the risk of kidney sequelae or proteinuria.

Conclusions: Women with a history of preeclampsia have a greater risk of chronic kidney disease or end-stage kidney disease. Some determinants seem to increase the risk. Further research is required to identify these determinants of kidney sequelae.

Retinol binding protein 4 (RBP4), the circulating carrier of retinol, complexes with transthyretin (TTR) and is a potential biomarker of cardiometabolic disease. However, RBP4 quantitation relies on immunoassays and Western blots without retinol and TTR measurement. A liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method for the simultaneous absolute quantitation of circulating RBP4 and TTR is critical to establishing their biomarker potential.

Do psycho-behavioural interventions improve mental and physical health in chronic kidney disease? A systematic review of randomised controlled trials.

Background: Depression and anxiety are common in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and worsen clinical outcomes. Psycho-behavioural interventions offer a promising, non-pharmacological approach. However, most evidence comes from people with kidney failure with distinct treatment needs, limiting relevance to earlier stages of CKD, where timely support may enhance self-management and slow progression.

Cardiovascular-Kidney-Metabolic (CKM) syndrome, a newly defined systemic disorder, is characterized by the pathological interplay among diabetes, chronic kidney disease (CKD), and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Recent studies have identified chronic inflammation not only as a central mediator in the pathological progression of CKM syndrome but also as a pivotal molecular hub that drives coordinated damage across multiple organ systems. Mechanistic investigations have revealed that aberrant activation of signaling pathways such as NF-κB, Wnt, PI3K-AKT, JAK-STAT, and PPAR constitutes a complex inflammatory regulatory network.

Purpose: Infective endocarditis (IE) has been associated with severe outcomes when complicated by diabetes mellitus (DM). We aimed to report characteristics, microbial etiology, and mortality for patients with IE stratified by DM from a nationwide cohort.

Methods: We used Danish registries, and patients with first-time IE (2010-2020) were stratified by DM.
