Genetic overlap between estimated glomerular filtration rate and cardiovascular disease identifies potential targets for cardiorenal syndrome.

Heart and kidney diseases frequently coexist, but the genetic basis of this relationship remains unclear. We analyzed genetic data from large-scale studies to investigate how kidney function (estimated glomerular filtration rate, eGFR) and six common cardiovascular diseases share genetic risk factors. Using MiXeR method, and conjunctional false discovery rate (conjFDR) to identify overlapping genetic regions, we found 478 shared genomic loci between eGFR and cardiovascular diseases. These shared genes are involved in tissue development and structure. We also identified 29 genes that could be targeted by existing medications approved by the US Food and Drug Administration, such as PRKAG2, PDE1A, and IGF1R. Among these, genetically predicted higher level of IGF1R expression is associated with a higher eGFR, which reflects good kidney function and is protective against cardiorenal diseases, such as atrial fibrillation, and myocardial infarction. These findings reveal genetic overlap between kidney function and cardiovascular diseases, highlighting potential targets for understanding and treating cardiorenal syndrome.

Efficacy and safety of revascularization in patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia by kidney function.

BACKGROUND: The optimal revascularization strategy for patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) with chronic kidney disease (CKD) remains unknown. We evaluated whether the efficacy and safety of surgical vs endovascular revascularization differ by kidney function. METHODS: In this post hoc secondary analysis of BEST-CLI trial (NCT02060630), 1,704 patients with CLTI were stratified by baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR, mL/min/1.73 m²): non-CKD (eGFR ≥ 90), mild-moderate CKD (eGFR 45-89), advanced CKD (eGFR < 45 or dialysis). The primary outcome was a composite of major adverse limb events (MALE) or death. We estimated the difference in restricted mean time lost (RMTL, in days) adjusted for inverse probability treatment weights. RESULTS: Surgical revascularization was significantly associated with fewer days with MALE or death in non-CKD (RMTL difference: -127.8 days; 95% CI -176.1, -79.6) and mild-moderate CKD (-63.2 days; 95% CI -104.7, -21.8) but not in advanced CKD (-16.4 days; 95% CI -78.8, 46.0; P interaction = .02). This attenuation reflected a diminishing mortality benefit with more severe CKD (P interaction = .01), whereas the association with fewer days with MALE remained consistent across CKD strata (P interaction = .34). Major adverse cardiovascular events and serious adverse events were more common with more severe CKD but did not differ significantly by treatment. CONCLUSIONS: Surgical vs endovascular revascularization was consistently associated with fewer days with MALE across CKD strata. However, its association with mortality varied by kidney function, attenuating the overall benefit for the composite endpoint of MALE or death. These results support individualized revascularization strategies, but require prospective confirmation. TRIAL REGISTRATION: The BEST CLI trial is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT02060630).

Complication rates of 16- and 18-gauge needles for native kidney biopsies: a systematic review and proportional meta-analysis.

This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated complication rates and diagnostic yield reported in studies of adult native kidney biopsy using 16-gauge (16 G) or 18-gauge (18 G) needles. We included randomized trials and cohort studies of real-time ultrasound-guided biopsies, including case series. MEDLINE, Embase, and CENTRAL were searched through October 2024. Two reviewers independently performed study selection, data extraction, and risk of bias assessment using Joanna Briggs Institute tools. Random-effects meta-analyses estimated pooled proportions with 95% confidence intervals (CI), and univariable random-effects meta-regression explored study-level associations with major complications, transfusion, or gross hematuria. We screened 4,499 titles and abstracts and reviewed 319 full-text articles; 62 studies comprising 68 biopsy series were included. The pooled major complication rate in studies using 16 G needles was 1.83% (95% CI: 1.20-2.79) and 1.29% (95% CI: 0.78-2.13) in studies using 18 G needles, with no statistically significant difference. Mean glomerular yield was 18.8 with 16 G and 17.5 with 18 G needles. In study-level meta-regression, studies with higher prevalence of acute kidney injury, lower mean estimated glomerular filtration rate, or lower mean hemoglobin reported higher pooled complication rates. Most studies were single-arm cohorts; between-needle differences therefore reflect indirect study-level contrasts. Interpretation is limited by retrospective design and heterogeneity across studies. Overall, studies using both needle sizes reported low complication rates and similar diagnostic yield, although definitions and reporting varied. Direct comparative studies are needed to determine whether meaningful differences exist.
