Novel therapeutic approaches for the primary hyperoxalurias

Ruth Belostotsky & Yaacov Frishberg

doi : 10.1007/s00467-020-04817-8

Pediatric Nephrology volume 36, pages2593–2606 (2021)

Loss-of-function mutations in three genes, involved in the metabolic pathway of glyoxylate, result in increased oxalate production and its crystallization in the form of calcium oxalate. This leads to three forms of primary hyperoxaluria—an early-onset inherited kidney disease with wide phenotypic variability ranging from isolated kidney stone events to stage 5 chronic kidney disease in infancy. This review provides a description of metabolic processes resulting in oxalate overproduction and summarizes basic therapeutic approaches. Unfortunately, current treatment of primary hyperoxaluria does not allow the prevention of loss of kidney function or to substantially diminish other symptoms in most patients. However, latest breakthroughs in biotechnology provide new promising directions for drug development. Some of them have already progressed to the level of clinical trials; others are just at the stage of proof of concept. Here we review the most advanced technologies including those that have been harnessed as possible therapeutic modalities.

Role of actin cytoskeleton in podocytes

Sanja Sever

doi : 10.1007/s00467-020-04812-z

Pediatric Nephrology volume 36, pages2607–2614 (2021)

The selectivity of the glomerular filter is established by physical, chemical, and signaling interplay among its three core constituents: glomerular endothelial cells, the glomerular basement membrane, and podocytes. Functional impairment or injury of any of these three components can lead to proteinuria. Podocytes are injured in many forms of human and experimental glomerular disease, including minimal change disease, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, and diabetes mellitus. One of the earliest signs of podocyte injury is loss of their distinct structure, which is driven by dysregulated dynamics of the actin cytoskeleton. The status of the actin cytoskeleton in podocytes depends on a set of actin binding proteins, nucleators and inhibitors of actin polymerization, and regulatory GTPases. Mutations that alter protein function in each category have been implicated in glomerular diseases in humans and animal models. In addition, a growing body of studies suggest that pharmacological modifications of the actin cytoskeleton have the potential to become novel therapeutics for podocyte-dependent chronic kidney diseases. This review presents an overview of the essential proteins that establish actin cytoskeleton in podocytes and studies demonstrating the feasibility of drugging actin cytoskeleton in kidney diseases.

IgA vasculitis nephritis in children and adults: one or different entities?

Licia Peruzzi & Rosanna Coppo

doi : 10.1007/s00467-020-04818-7

Pediatric Nephrology volume 36, pages2615–2625 (2021)

The clinical features of the kidney involvement in immunoglobulin A (IgA) vasculitis (IgAVN) differ in children and adults for both clinical presentation and progression. IgAVN in children has mostly a self-limiting course and favorable resolution, while in adults the kidney involvement is frequently severe with unfavorable outcome. However, a subset of children is at risk of progression within the pediatric age or decades later in adulthood, particularly when the diagnosis and a prompt intervention are delayed. Factors predicting progression and outcome in the whole spectrum of age have been investigated in recent research, as well as the relationship between IgAVN and primary IgAN, which share the same pathology features, in the light of peculiar clinical differences and progression tendencies, and hence need for selective treatments. The search for a personalized treatment in children with IgAV and in different ages of life should rely on the identification of different risks for progression. This review will focus on recent studies which contribute to improve our knowledge in this still largely unclear area.

COVID-19 is responsible for the 2019 novel coronavirus disease pandemic. Despite the vast research about the adult population, there has been little data collected on acute kidney injury (AKI) epidemiology, associated risk factors, treatments, and mortality in pediatric COVID-19 patients admitted to the ICU. AKI is a severe complication of COVID-19 among children and adolescents.

Predictors of progression in autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease

Eric G. Benz & Erum A. Hartung

doi : 10.1007/s00467-020-04869-w

Pediatric Nephrology volume 36, pages2639–2658 (2021)

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) and autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) are characterized by bilateral cystic kidney disease leading to progressive kidney function decline. These diseases also have distinct liver manifestations. The range of clinical presentation and severity of both ADPKD and ARPKD is much wider than was once recognized. Pediatric and adult nephrologists are likely to care for individuals with both diseases in their lifetimes. This article will review genetic, clinical, and imaging predictors of kidney and liver disease progression in ADPKD and ARPKD and will briefly summarize pharmacologic therapies to prevent progression.

Biomarkers in pediatric glomerulonephritis and nephrotic syndrome

Gabriel Cara-Fuentes & William E. Smoyer

doi : 10.1007/s00467-020-04867-y

Pediatric Nephrology volume 36, pages2659–2673 (2021)

Glomerular diseases are often chronic or recurring and thus associated with a tremendous physical, psychological, and economic burden. Their etiologies are often unknown, and their pathogeneses are frequently poorly understood. The diagnoses and management of these diseases are therefore based on clinical features, traditional laboratory markers, and, often, kidney pathology. However, the clinical presentation can be highly variable, the kidney pathology may not establish a definitive diagnosis, and the therapeutic responses and resulting clinical outcomes are often unpredictable. To try to address these challenges, significant research efforts have been made over the last decade to identify potential biomarkers that can help clinicians optimize the diagnosis and prognosis at clinical presentation, as well as help predict long-term outcomes. Unfortunately, these efforts have to date only identified a single biomarker for glomerular disease that has been fully validated and developed for widespread clinical use (anti-PLA2R antibodies to diagnose membranous nephropathy). In this manuscript, we review the definitions and development of biomarkers, as well as the current knowledge on both historical and novel candidate biomarkers of glomerular disease, with an emphasis on those associated with idiopathic nephrotic syndrome.

Outcomes of kidney injury including dialysis and kidney transplantation in pediatric oncology and hematopoietic cell transplant patients

Natalie L. Wu & Sangeeta Hingorani

doi : 10.1007/s00467-020-04842-7

Pediatric Nephrology volume 36, pages2675–2686 (2021)

Pediatric oncology and hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) patients are susceptible to both acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). The etiologies of AKI vary but include tumor infiltration, radiation, drug-induced toxicity, and fluid and electrolyte abnormalities including tumor lysis syndrome. HCT patients can also have additional complications such as sinusoidal obstructive syndrome, graft-versus-host disease, or thrombotic microangiopathy. For patients with severe AKI requiring dialysis, multiple modalities can be used successfully, although continuous kidney replacement therapy (CKRT) is often the principal modality for critically ill patients. While increasing numbers of pediatric cancer and HCT patients are now surviving long term, they remain at risk for a number of chronic medical conditions, including CKD. Certain high-risk patients, due to underlying risk factors or treatment-related complications, eventually develop kidney failure and may require kidney replacement therapies. Management of co-morbidities and complications associated with kidney failure, including use of erythropoietin for anemia and potential need for ongoing cancer-related treatment while on dialysis, is an additional consideration in this patient population. Kidney transplantation can be successfully performed in pediatric cancer survivors, although additional features such as specific cancer diagnosis and duration of remission should be considered.

Use of diuretics in the neonatal period

Jean-Pierre Guignard & Silvia Iacobelli

doi : 10.1007/s00467-021-04921-3

Pediatric Nephrology volume 36, pages2687–2695 (2021)

The use of diuretics is extremely frequent in sick neonates, the more so in very premature newborn infants. The use of diuretics in patients whose kidney function is immature necessitates a thorough knowledge of renal developmental physiology and pathophysiology. This review presents the basic aspects of body fluid homeostasis in the neonate, discusses the development of kidney function, and describes the mechanisms involved in electrolyte and water reabsorption along the nephron. Diuretics are then classified according to the site of their action on sodium reabsorption. The use of diuretics in sodium-retaining states, in oliguric states, in electrolyte disorders, and in arterial hypertension, as well as in a few specific disorders, is presented. Common and specific adverse effects are discussed. Recommended dosages for the main diuretics used in the neonatal period are given. New developments in diuretic therapy are briefly mentioned.
