Acute tubular injury accounts for the most common intrinsic cause for acute kidney injury. Normally, the tubular epithelium is mitotically quiescent. However, upon injury, it can show a brisk capacity to regenerate and repair. The scattered tubular cell (STC) phenotype was discovered as a uniform reaction of tubule cells triggered by injury. The STC phenotype is characterized by a unique protein expression profile, increased robustness during tubular damage and increased proliferation. Nevertheless, the exact origin and identity of these cells have been unveiled only in part. Here, we discuss the classical concept of renal regeneration. According to this model, surviving cells dedifferentiate and divide to replace neighbouring lost tubular cells. However, this view has been challenged by the concept of a pre-existing and fixed population of intratubular progenitor cells. This review presents a significant body of previous work and animal studies using lineage-tracing methods that have investigated the regeneration of tubular cells. We review the experimental findings and discuss whether they support the progenitor hypothesis or the classical concept of renal tubular regeneration. We come to the conclusion that any proximal tubular cell may differentiate into the regenerative STC phenotype upon injury thus contributing to regeneration, and these cells differentiate back into tubular cells once regeneration is finished.

Iron deficiency (ID) is highly prevalent in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) and has been independently associated with an excess mortality risk in this population. Several causes lead to ID in KTRs, including inflammation, medication and an increased iron need after transplantation. Although many studies in other populations indicate a pivotal role for iron as a regulator of the immune system, little is known about the impact of ID on the immune system in KTRs. Moreover, clinical trials in patients with chronic kidney disease or heart failure have shown that correction of ID, with or without anaemia, improves exercise capacity and quality of life, and may improve survival. ID could therefore be a modifiable risk factor to improve graft and patient outcomes in KTRs; prospective studies are warranted to substantiate this hypothesis.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients often exhibit a low muscle mass and strength, leading to physical impairment and an increased mortality. Two major signalling pathways control protein synthesis, the insulin-like growth factor-1/Akt (IGF-1/Akt) pathway, acting as a positive regulator, and the myostatin (Mstn) pathway, acting as a negative regulator. Mstn, also known as the growth development factor-8 (GDF-8), is a member of the transforming growth factor-? superfamily, which is secreted by mature muscle cells. Mstn inhibits satellite muscle cell proliferation and differentiation and induces a proteolytic phenotype of muscle cells by activating the ubiquitin–proteasome system. Recent advances have been made in the comprehension of the Mstn pathway disturbance and its role in muscle wasting during CKD. Most studies report higher Mstn concentrations in CKD and dialysis patients than in healthy subjects. Several factors increase Mstn production in uraemic conditions: low physical activity, chronic or acute inflammation and oxidative stress, uraemic toxins, angiotensin II, metabolic acidosis and glucocorticoids. Mstn seems to be only scarcely removed during haemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis, maybe because of its large molecule size in plasma where it is linked to its prodomain. In dialysis patients, Mstn has been proposed as a biomarker of muscle mass, muscle strength or physical performances, but more studies are needed in this field. This review outlines the interconnection between Mstn activation, muscle dysfunction and CKD. We discuss mechanisms of action and efficacy of pharmacological Mstn pathway inhibition that represents a promising treatment approach of striated muscle dysfunction. Many approaches and molecules are in development but until now, no study has proved a benefit in CKD.

Constipation is highly prevalent in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), particularly among those with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), partly due to their dietary restrictions, comorbidities and medications. Laxatives are typically used for constipation management; however, little is known about laxative use and its associated factors in patients with advanced CKD transitioning to ESRD.
DNA methylation profiling identifies epigenetic differences between early versus late stages of diabetic chronic kidney disease

doi : 10.1093/ndt/gfaa226

We investigated a cross-sectional epigenome-wide association study of patients with early and late diabetes-associated chronic kidney disease (CKD) to identify possible epigenetic differences between the two groups as well as changes in methylation across all stages of diabetic CKD. We also evaluated the potential of using a panel of identified 5?-C-phosphate-G-3? (CpG) sites from this cohort to predict the progression of diabetic CKD.

Erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs) are currently the mainstay of treatment for anaemia of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Vadadustat is an investigational oral hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl-hydroxylase inhibitor that stimulates endogenous erythropoietin formation. The INNO2VATE programme comprises two studies designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of vadadustat versus the ESA darbepoetin alfa in ameliorating anaemia in patients with dialysis-dependent CKD (DD-CKD). Here we describe the trial design along with patient demographics and baseline characteristics.

doi : 10.1093/ndt/gfaa232
Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation, Volume 36, Issue 11, November 2021, Pages 2049–2057
Dietary potassium restriction is a strategy to control hyperkalemia in chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, hyperkalemia may result from a combination of clinical conditions. This study aimed to investigate whether dietary potassium or the intake of certain food groups associate with serum potassium in the face of other risk factors.

Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation, Volume 36, Issue 11, November 2021, Pages 2058–2065
High adiponectin levels are associated with diabetic nephropathy. Nevertheless, it is not known whether plasma adiponectin is associated with renal function decline in the general population. We evaluated whether adiponectin concentrations were associated with changes in renal function in a community cohort, the Data from an Epidemiological Study on the Insulin Resistance Syndrome (DESIR) study.

CYP24A1 and KL polymorphisms are associated with the extent of vascular calcification but do not improve prediction of cardiovascular events
Guillermo Solache-Berrocal, Valeria Rolle-Sóñora, Noelia Martín-Fernández, Serafí Cambray, José Manuel Valdivielso, Isabel Rodríguez on behalf of the NEFRONA investigators
doi : 10.1093/ndt/gfaa240
Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation, Volume 36, Issue 11, November 2021, Pages 2076–2083
Novel ways of determining cardiovascular risk are needed as a consequence of population ageing and the increased prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD), both of which favour vascular calcification. Since the formation of arterial calcium deposits has a genetic component, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) could predict cardiovascular events.

Cognitive deterioration decreases quality of life, self-care and adherence to treatment, increasing mortality risk. There is scarce information of cognitive impairment in peritoneal dialysis (PD) and data are controversial. Our aim was to determine the frequency and associated factors of cognitive impairment in patients on automated PD (APD).
