Platelet-dependent mechanisms for excessive clotting and bleeding in CKD remain undefined. Moreover, platelets’ contribution to inflammation, and specifically to CKD, are equally elusive. To date, descriptions of changes in the functional properties of circulating platelets during CKD have provided confusing interpretations. Experimental approaches that can advance our understanding of platelet dysfunction in CKD are needed, and studies that provide mechanistic insights into the dynamic relationships between thrombosis, bleeding, and inflammation associated with CKD will be essential to improve clinical management and outcomes for this vulnerable population. This article summarizes existing literature characterizing platelets in CKD and identifies areas that need further investigation.

The effectiveness of cisplatin, a mainstay in the treatment of many solid organ cancers, is hindered by dose-limiting nephrotoxicity. Cisplatin causes AKI in 30% of patients. Patients who do not develop AKI by clinical standards during treatment are still at risk for long-term decline in kidney function and the development of CKD. The connection between AKI and CKD has become increasingly studied, with renal fibrosis a hallmark of CKD development. To prevent both the short- and long-term effects of cisplatin, researchers must use models that reflect both types of pathology. Although a lot is known about cisplatin-induced AKI, very little is known about the mechanisms by which repeated low levels of cisplatin lead to fibrosis development. In this review, strategies used in various rodent models to prevent kidney injury, its progression to fibrosis, or both, are examined to gain mechanistic insights and identify potential therapeutic targets for cisplatin-induced kidney pathologies. Reviewing the results from these models highlights the diverse and highly complex role of cell death, cell senescence, endoplasmic reticulum stress, autophagy, and immune cell activation in acute and chronic kidney injuries. The use of several models of kidney injury is needed for development of agents that will prevent all aspects of cisplatin-induced kidney injury.

Background Patients with CKD are at high risk for thrombotic and hemorrhagic complications. Abnormalities in platelet function are central to these complications, but reports on platelet function in relation to CKD are conflicting, and vary from decreased platelet reactivity to normal or increased platelet responsiveness. The direct effects of uremic toxins on platelet function have been described, with variable findings.

Background The sympathetic nervous system regulates immune cell dynamics. However, the detailed role of sympathetic signaling in inflammatory diseases is still unclear because it varies according to the disease situation and responsible cell types. This study focused on identifying the functions of sympathetic signaling in macrophages in LPS-induced sepsis and renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI).

Background SGLT2 inhibitors reduce the risk of heart failure (HF) mortality and morbidity, regardless of the presence or absence of diabetes, but the mechanisms underlying this benefit remain unclear. Experiments with nondiabetic HF rats tested the hypothesis that the SGLT2 inhibitor empagliflozin (EMPA) inhibits proximal tubule (PT) NHE3 activity and improves renal salt and water handling.

Background Fractalkine receptor 1 (CX3CR1) mediates macrophage infiltration and accumulation, causing venous neointimal hyperplasia (VNH)/venous stenosis (VS) in arteriovenous fistula (AVF). The effect of blocking CX3CR1 using an anti–human variable VHH molecule (hCX3CR1 VHH, BI 655088) on VNH/VS was determined using a humanized mouse in which the human CX3CR1 (hCX3CR1) gene was knocked in (KI).

Background Accumulation of extracellular matrix in organs and tissues is a feature of both aging and disease. In the kidney, glomerulosclerosis and tubulointerstitial fibrosis accompany the decline in function, which current therapies cannot address, leading to organ failure. Although histologic and ultrastructural patterns of excess matrix form the basis of human disease classifications, a comprehensive molecular resolution of abnormal matrix is lacking.

Background The Initiating Dialysis Early and Late (IDEAL) trial, published in 2009, found no clinically measurable benefit with respect to risk of mortality or early complications with early dialysis initiation versus deferred dialysis start. After these findings, guidelines recommended an intent-to-defer approach to dialysis initiation, with the goal of deferring it until clinical symptoms arise.
