Abstract
INTRODUCTION Acute kidney injury (AKI) defined by a substantial decrease in kidney function within hours to days and is often irreversible with higher risk to chronic kidney disease (CKD) transition. AREAS COVERED The authors discuss the diagnostic and predictive utilities of serum and urinary biomarkers on AKI and on the risk of AKI-to-CKD progression. The authors focus on the relevant literature covering evidence of circulating and urinary biomarkers' capability to predict the transition of AKI to CKD. EXPERT OPINION Based on the different modalities of serum and urinary biomarkers, multiple biomarker panel seems to be potentially useful to distinguish between various types of AKI, to detect the severity and the risk of AKI progression, to predict the clinical outcome and evaluate response to the therapy. Serum/urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), serum/urinary uromodulin, serum extracellular high mobility group box-1 (HMGB-1), serum cystatin C and urinary liver-type fatty acid-binding protein (L-FABP) were the most effective in the prediction of AKI-to-CKD transition regardless of etiology and the presence of critical state in patients. The current clinical evidence on the risk assessments of AKI progression is mainly based on the utility of combination of functional, injury and stress biomarkers, mainly NGAL, L-FABP, HMGB-1 and cystatin C.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of the present study was to establish a reference interval (RI) for urine kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) in healthy cats. METHODS History, physical examination, blood pressure, and feline immunodeficiency virus and feline leukemia virus serology status were determined. A complete blood cell count, serum biochemical profile, urinalysis and kidney ultrasound were performed, and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide, total thyroxine (TT4) and urine KIM-1 were measured. An RI was calculated and the effect of age, sex, body condition score (BCS), blood pressure, symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA), serum creatinine concentration (SCr), phosphorus, TT4, urine specific gravity (USG) and mid-sagittal kidney length on urine KIM-1 was evaluated using a general linear model. RESULTS Of 69 recruited cats, 50 met the inclusion criteria. There were 35 male cats and 15 female cats, with a median age of 4.3 years (range 1.0-12.3), median weight of 5.11 kg (range 2.52-8.45) and median BCS of 6/9 (range 3-8). The median serum concentrations were SDMA 11.0 µg/dl (range 2-14), SCr 88.5 µmol/l (range 47-136), phosphorus 1.41 mmol/l (range 0.8-2.2) and TT4 32.0 nmol/l (range 17-51). Median USG was 1.057 (range 1.035-1.076), mid-sagittal left kidney length was 3.50 cm (range 2.94-4.45) and mid-sagittal right kidney length was 3.70 cm (range 3.06-4.55). The derived RI for urine KIM-1 was 0.02-0.68. USG was a significant (P <0.001) predictor of urine KIM-1. Individually, age, sex, blood pressure, BCS, SDMA, SCr, phosphorus, TT4 and mid-sagittal kidney length were not significant predictors of urine KIM-1. In a multivariate model, if combined with USG, SDMA concentration was predictive (P = 0.030) of urine KIM-1. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE Urine concentration was significantly correlated with urine KIM-1, which will be an important consideration when interpreting findings in cats with potential kidney injury.

Abstract
The Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), also referred to as chemokine ligand 2 (CCL2), belongs to the extensive chemokine family and serves as a crucial mediator of innate immunity and tissue inflammation. It has a notable impact on inflammatory conditions affecting the kidneys. Upon binding to its receptor, MCP-1 can induce lymphocytes and NK cells' homing, migration, activation, differentiation, and development while promoting monocytes' and macrophages' infiltration, thereby facilitating kidney disease-related inflammation. As a biomarker for kidney disease, MCP-1 has made notable advancements in primary kidney diseases such as crescentic glomerulonephritis, chronic glomerulonephritis, primary glomerulopathy, idiopathic proteinuria glomerulopathy, acute kidney injury; secondary kidney diseases like diabetic nephropathy and lupus nephritis; hereditary kidney diseases including autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease and sickle cell kidney disease. MCP-1 not only predicts the occurrence, progression, prognosis of the disease but is also closely associated with the severity and stage of nephropathy. When renal tissue is stimulated or experiences significant damage, the expression of MCP-1 increases, demonstrating a direct correlation with the severity of renal injury.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a commonly encountered clinical syndrome. Although it often complicates community acquired illness, it is more common in hospitalized patients, particularly those who are critically ill or who have undergone major surgery. Approximately 20% of hospitalized adult patients develop an AKI during their hospital care, and this rises to nearly 60% in the critically ill, depending on the population being considered. In general, AKI is more common in older adults, in those with preexisting chronic kidney disease and in those with known risk factors for AKI (including diabetes and hypertension). The development of AKI is associated with an increase in both mortality and morbidity, including the development of post-AKI chronic kidney disease. Currently, AKI is defined by a rise in serum creatinine from either a known or derived baseline value and/or oliguria or anuria. However, clinicians may fail to recognize the initial development of AKI because of a delay in the rise of serum creatinine or because of inaccurate urine output monitoring. This, in turn, delays any putative measures to treat AKI or to limit its degree. Consequently, efforts have focused on new biomarkers associated with AKI that may allow early recognition of this syndrome with the intent that this will translate into improved patient outcomes. Here we outline current biomarkers associated with AKI and explore their potential in aiding diagnosis, understanding the pathophysiology and directing therapy.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) increases the risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD), and AKI and CKD are seen as interconnected syndromes. Acute kidney disease (AKD) is defined as subacute damage and/or loss of kidney function occurring 7 to 90 days after AKI, during which period key interventions may be initiated to hinder the development of CKD. While AKD is usually under-recognized, it is associated with high morbidity and mortality globally. This review article aims to summarize the current knowledge concerning the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and management of AKD with the aim to develop monitoring strategies and therapeutic agents of AKD. Generally, AKD tends to occur more frequently in the elderly and those with chronic diseases, such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and metabolic syndrome. In addition, the severity, duration, and frequency of AKI are independent risk factors for AKD. Investigations of several mechanisms of AKD, such as renal tubular epithelium cell-cycle arrest, epigenetic change, chronic inflammation, mitochondria dysfunction, failed regeneration of tubular cells, metabolic reprogramming, and renin-angiotensin system (RAS) activation, have identified additional potential pharmacotherapy targets. Management of AKD includes prevention of repeated AKI, early and regular follow-up by a nephrologist, resumption and adjustment of essential medication, optimization of blood pressure control and nutrition management, and development of new pharmaceutical agents including RAS inhibitors. Finally, we outline a care bundle for AKD patients based on important lessons learned from studies and registries and identify the need for clinical trials of RAS inhibitors or other novel agents to impede ensuing CKD development.

Abstract
Acute cardiorenal syndrome (CRS), categorized as CRS type 1 and 3, is defined by the interplay of acute kidney injury or dysfunction and acute cardiac disease. For optimized diagnosis and management of CRS, strategies targeting multi-organ dysfunction must be adopted. Early diagnosis of acute CRS is important to enable timely initiation of appropriate treatment to prevent serious morbidity and mortality; however, traditional biomarkers are suboptimal. Over the past 2 decades, numerous biomarkers have been investigated for a better and more rapid diagnosis of CRS. Yet, the uptake of these contemporary biomarkers has been slow, possibly owing to the use of imperfect gold-standard reference tests. We believe that there is now scope for use of contemporary laboratory test panels to improve the diagnosis of acute CRS. In this review, we briefly discuss a proposed set of biomarkers for the diagnosis of type 1 and type 3 CRS.
