Farewell from the CKJ Editor-in-Chief: key kidney topics from 2014 to 2021
Alberto Ortiz, Caroline Vinck
doi : 10.1093/ckj/sfac023
Clinical Kidney Journal, Volume 15, Issue 4, April 2022, Pages 593–602
The year 2021 was the last full year of Alberto Ortiz’s editorship at Clinical Kidney Journal (CKJ). On May 2022, Maria José Soler will start her term as the Editor-in-Chief. Over these years, CKJ obtained its first journal impact factor and has consolidated its position among the top journals in the field, consistently ranking among the top 25% (first quartile) journals in Urology and Nephrology. The 2020 journal impact factor rose to 4.45, becoming the top open access journal in Nephrology and the ninth ranked Nephrology journal overall. We now review the recent history of the journal and the most highly cited topics which include the epidemiology of kidney disease, chronic kidney disease topics, such as the assessment and treatment of chronic kidney disease, onconephrology, cardionephrology, glomerular disease, transplantation and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

The high burden of kidney disease, global disparities in kidney care and poor outcomes of kidney failure bring a concomitant growing burden to persons affected, their families and caregivers and the community at large. Health literacy is the degree to which persons and organizations have or equitably enable individuals to have the ability to find, understand and use information and services to make informed health-related decisions and actions for themselves and others. Rather than viewing health literacy as a patient deficit, improving health literacy largely rests with healthcare providers communicating and educating effectively in codesigned partnership with those with kidney disease. For kidney policymakers, health literacy provides the imperative to shift organizations to a culture that places the person at the center of healthcare. The growing capability of and access to technology provides new opportunities to enhance education and awareness of kidney disease for all stakeholders. Advances in telecommunication, including social media platforms, can be leveraged to enhance persons’ and providers’ education. The World Kidney Day declares 2022 as the year of ‘Kidney Health for All’ to promote global teamwork in advancing strategies in bridging the gap in kidney health education and literacy. Kidney organizations should work toward shifting the patient-deficit health literacy narrative to that of being the responsibility of healthcare providers and health policymakers. By engaging in and supporting kidney health–centered policymaking, community health planning and health literacy approaches for all, the kidney communities strive to prevent kidney diseases and enable living well with kidney disease.

Calciphylaxis is a rare disorder characterized by vascular calcification and thrombosis of the subcutaneous microcirculation, leading to painful necrotic skin lesions and bearing a dreadfully high mortality rate. This syndrome is frequently also termed uraemic calcific arteriolopathy, since most cases are observed in patients with kidney failure. However, it is increasingly clear that calciphylaxis may also affect patients with normal or only slightly impaired renal function, including kidney transplant recipients. A precise definition of the characteristics and risk factors of calciphylaxis developing after kidney transplantation has been hindered by the extreme rarity of this condition, which also hampered the development of effective therapeutic strategies. In the present issue of CKJ, Guillén and colleagues report the largest case series of calciphylaxis in kidney transplant recipients to date, outlining several features that are apparently specific to this population. In this editorial, we briefly present the epidemiology and pathogenesis of calciphylaxis in different patient populations and discuss recent findings for its therapeutic management.

Insufficient vaccine coverage and dominance of the more transmissible severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variants are the leading causes of the continued spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) worldwide. To curb the surge in infections, COVID-19 vaccination has been advocated as a priority measure, especially for frail populations and people at high risk of exposure. Patients on in-centre maintenance haemodialysis (HD) embody both conditions. They are at high risk of severe COVID-19 consequences due to their advanced age and weakened immune system and carry an increased risk of SARS-CoV-2 transmission within shared dialysis rooms and public vehicles. Vaccination of the entire HD population is therefore the most effective strategy to protect patients from the dire consequences of COVID-19. Unfortunately, a minority of patients still express COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy. The management of this group of patients, who have the full right to HD treatment, poses demanding problems from a patient safety perspective. The placement of unvaccinated patients within the dialysis room and the protection of all vaccinated patients are some of the most urgent problems the nephrologist faces during the COVID-19 pandemic. In light of these COVID-19-driven changes, an ethical reflection on the management of unvaccinated patients appears crucial to act responsibly and contribute to the health promotion of dialysis patients.
Cardiovascular disease and ANCA-associated vasculitis: are we missing a beat?

Clinical Kidney Journal, Volume 15, Issue 4, April 2022, Pages 618–623
The association between cardiovascular (CV) disease and anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) is well documented. The recent work by Massicotte-Azarniouch et al. confirms the risk and adds to the existing evidence by describing the highest risk in the first 3 months after diagnosis. In this review, we aim to put their findings into perspective and formulate implications for the care of AAV patients. We discuss mechanisms for increased CV disease in AAV, including the impact of traditional risk factors and disease-related risks such as renal impairment and anti-myeloperoxidase (MPO) ANCA serotype. We also provide a brief primer on the impact of inflammatory-driven endothelial dysfunction and platelet activation on accelerated atherosclerosis in AAV patients. These features alongside the impact of disease activity and systemic inflammation provide potential explanations to why the incidence of CV events is highest in the first 3 months from diagnosis. We suggest future avenues of research, provide some suggestions to address and treat CV risk based on current evidence, and highlight the importance of addressing this topic early on. Addressing modifiable risk factors, dialogue with patients, patient information and a structured approach overall will be key to improve CV outcomes in AAV.
Albumin is an interface between blood plasma and cell membrane, and not just a sponge

Albumin is the most abundant protein in blood plasma and acts as a carrier for many circulating molecules. Hypoalbuminaemia, mostly caused by either renal or liver disease or malnutrition, can perturb vascular homeostasis and is involved in the development of multiple diseases. Here we review four functions of albumin and the consequences of hypoalbuminaemia on vascular homeostasis. (i) Albumin is the main determinant of plasma colloid osmotic pressure. Hypoalbuminaemia was therefore thought to be the main mechanism for oedema in nephrotic syndrome (NS), however, experimental studies showed that intrarenal mechanisms rather than hypoalbuminaemia determine formation and, in particular, maintenance of oedema. (ii) Albumin functions as an interface between lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) and circulating factors (lipoproteins and erythrocytes) and the endothelium. Consequently, hypoalbuminaemia results in higher LPC levels in lipoproteins and erythrocyte membrane, thereby increasing atherosclerotic properties of low-density lipoprotein and blood viscosity, respectively. Furthermore, albumin dose-dependently restores LPC-induced inhibition of vasodilation. (iii) Hypoalbuminaemia impacts on vascular nitric oxide (NO) signalling by directly increasing NO production in endothelial cells, leading to reduced NO sensitivity of vascular smooth muscle cells. (iv) Lastly, albumin binds free fatty acids (FFAs). FFAs can induce vascular smooth muscle cell apoptosis, uncouple endothelial NO synthase and decrease endothelium-dependent vasodilation. Unbound FFAs can increase the formation of reactive oxygen species by mitochondrial uncoupling in multiple cell types and induce hypertriglyceridemia in NS. In conclusion, albumin acts as an interface in the circulation and hypoalbuminaemia impairs multiple aspects of vascular function that may underlie the association of hypoalbuminaemia with adverse outcomes. However, hypoalbuminaemia is not a key to oedema in NS. These insights have therapeutic implications.

Renal transplantation has become the gold-standard treatment for the majority of patients with established renal failure. Recent decades have seen significant progress in immunosuppressive therapies and advances in post-transplant management of recipients, resulting in improved graft and patient outcomes. However, the open technique of allograft implantation has stood the test of time, remaining largely unchanged. In a world where major advances in surgery have been facilitated by innovations in the fields of biotechnology and medical instrumentation, minimally invasive options have been introduced for the recipient undergoing kidney transplantation. In this review we present the evolution of minimally invasive kidney transplantation, with a specific focus on robot-assisted kidney transplant and the benefits it offers to specific patient groups. We also discuss the ethical concerns that must be addressed by transplant teams considering developing or referring to robotic programs.
Risk for subsequent hypertension and cardiovascular disease after living kidney donation: is it clinically relevant?
Charles J Ferro, Jonathan N Townend
doi : 10.1093/ckj/sfab271
Clinical Kidney Journal, Volume 15, Issue 4, April 2022, Pages 644–656
The first successful live donor kidney transplant was performed in 1954. Receiving a kidney transplant from a live kidney donor remains the best option for increasing both life expectancy and quality of life in patients with end-stage kidney disease. However, ever since 1954, there have been multiple questions raised on the ethics of live kidney donation in terms of negative impacts on donor life expectancy. Given the close relationship between reduced kidney function in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and hypertension, cardiovascular disease and cardiovascular mortality, information on the impact of kidney donation on these is particularly relevant. In this article, we review the existing evidence, focusing on the more recent studies on the impact of kidney donation on all-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality, cardiovascular disease and hypertension, as well as markers of cardiovascular damage including arterial stiffness and uraemic cardiomyopathy. We also discuss the similarities and differences between the pathological reduction in renal function that occurs in CKD, and the reduction in renal function that occurs because of a donor nephrectomy. Kidney donors perform an altruistic act that benefits individual patients as well as the wider society. They deserve to have high-quality evidence on which to make informed decisions.
Precision medicine for the treatment of glomerulonephritis: a bold goal but not yet a transformative achievement

Clinical Kidney Journal, Volume 15, Issue 4, April 2022, Pages 657–662
The revolution in our ability to recognize the alterations in fundamental biology brought about by disease has fostered a renewed interest in precision or personalized medicine (‘the right treatment, or diagnostic test, for the right patient at the right time’). This nascent field has been led by oncology, immunohematology and infectious disease, but nephrology is catching up and quickly. Specific forms of glomerulonephritis (GN) thought to represent specific ‘diseases’ have been ‘downgraded’ to ‘patterns of injury’. New entities have emerged through the application of sophisticated molecular technologies, often embraced by the term ‘multi-omics’. Kidney biopsies are now interpreted by next-generation imaging and machine learning. Many opportunities are manifest that will translate these remarkable developments into novel safe and effective treatment regimens for specific pathogenic pathways evoking GN and its progression to kidney failure. A few successes embolden a positive look to the future. A sustained and highly collaborative engagement with this new paradigm will be required for this field, full of hope and high expectations, to realize its goal of transforming glomerular therapeutics from one size fits all (or many) to a true individualized management principle.

Calciphylaxis is not uniquely observed in uraemic patients, as some cases have also been reported in patients with normal renal function or moderate chronic kidney disease (CKD), in association with severe vasculopathy or systemic inflammation. A particular subset worthy of studying is represented by those patients who develop calciphylaxis after kidney transplantation (KT).

Clinical Kidney Journal, Volume 15, Issue 4, April 2022, Pages 672–680
Dialyzers should be designed to efficiently eliminate uraemic toxins during dialysis treatment, given that the accumulation of small and middle molecular weight uraemic solutes is associated with increased mortality risk of patients with end-stage renal disease. In the present study we investigated the novel FX CorAL dialyzer with a modified membrane surface for performance during online hemodiafiltration (HDF) in a clinical setting.

Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) is implicated in elevating the risk for cardiovascular (CV) disease; whether the elevated risk applies to all types of CV diseases or specific types is unclear. This study examined the association of AAV and adverse CV outcomes compared with the non-AAV population.
Plasma biomarkers outperform echocardiographic measurements for cardiovascular risk prediction in kidney transplant recipients: results of the HOME ALONE study
Insa E Emrich, Anja L Scheuer, Kyrill S Rogacev, Felix Mahfoud, Stefan Wagenpfeil, Danilo Fliser, Stephan H Schirmer, Michael Böhm, Gunnar H Heine
doi : 10.1093/ckj/sfab216
Clinical Kidney Journal, Volume 15, Issue 4, April 2022, Pages 693–702
Since kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) have a high cardiovascular disease burden, adequate risk prediction is of importance. Whether echocardiographic parameters and plasma biomarkers, natriuretic peptides [N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP)] and troponin T provide complementary or overlapping prognostic information on cardiovascular events remains uncertain.

Clinical Kidney Journal, Volume 15, Issue 4, April 2022, Pages 798–807
Patients with stage 4/5 chronic kidney disease (CKD) suffer from various symptoms. The retention of uremic solutes is thought to be associated with those symptoms. However, there are relatively few rigorous studies on the potential links between uremic toxins and symptoms in patients with CKD.
Native BK virus nephropathy in lung transplant: a case report and literature review
Waseem Albasha, Golnaz Vahdani, Ankita Ashoka, Erika Bracamonte, Amy A Yau
doi : 10.1093/ckj/sfab251
Clinical Kidney Journal, Volume 15, Issue 4, April 2022, Pages 808–811
Classically described in renal allografts, BK virus nephropathy is increasingly recognized in native kidneys of other non-renal solid organ transplants. We discuss a 68-year-old woman with a history of bilateral lung transplant referred for worsening renal function, confirmed to have BK virus nephropathy by biopsy with a serum BK virus polymerase chain reaction of over 59 million copies/mL. She was managed with a reduction in immunosuppression and intravenous cidofovir with no improvement in her clinical parameters. The seven prior reported cases of polyoma virus nephropathy in lung transplant recipients are reviewed, and the challenges of screening and management are discussed.
Genetic evaluation of paediatric nephrocalcinosis: phenotype-driven genetic panels reveal a rare diagnosis
Jenny Patterson, Zoe Jacob, Ben C Reynolds
doi : 10.1093/ckj/sfab279
Clinical Kidney Journal, Volume 15, Issue 4, April 2022, Pages 812–815
Monogenic causes of paediatric nephrocalcinosis are associated with extensive phenotypic variability. We report a 14-year-old male who presented at 8 years of age with incidentally identified nephrocalcinosis alongside growth impairment and dental anomalies. Extensive genetic investigation confirmed a molecular diagnosis of Bartter syndrome type II. This is exceptional in both late presentation and the presence of amelogenesis imperfecta, a very rare association of inherited tubulopathies. Details of the nephrocalcinosis gene panel analysed and associated phenotypes are presented to highlight the utility of a phenotype-driven genetic panel in resolving an atypical presentation of nephrocalcinosis, allowing precise diagnosis, tailored therapy and prognostication.
