Abstract
Metabolic acidosis is a frequent complication of chronic kidney disease and is associated with a number of adverse outcomes, including worsening kidney function, poor musculoskeletal health, cardiovascular events, and death. Mechanisms that prevent metabolic acidosis detrimentally promote further kidney damage, creating a cycle between acid accumulation and acid-mediated kidney injury. Disrupting this cycle through the provision of alkali, most commonly using sodium bicarbonate, is hypothesized to preserve kidney function while also mitigating adverse effects of excess acid on bone and muscle. However, results from clinical trials have been conflicting. There is also significant interest to determine whether sodium bicarbonate might improve patient outcomes for those who do not have overt metabolic acidosis. Such individuals are hypothesized to be experiencing acid-mediated organ damage despite having a normal serum bicarbonate concentration, a state often referred to as subclinical metabolic acidosis. Results from small- to medium-sized trials in individuals with subclinical metabolic acidosis have also been inconclusive. Well-powered clinical trials to determine the efficacy and safety of sodium bicarbonate are necessary to determine if this intervention improves patient outcomes.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with significant reductions in lean body mass and in the mass of various tissues, including skeletal muscle, which causes fatigue and contributes to high mortality rates. In CKD, the cellular protein turnover is imbalanced, with protein degradation outweighing protein synthesis, leading to a loss of protein and cell mass, which impairs tissue function. As CKD itself, skeletal muscle wasting, or sarcopenia, can have various origins and causes, and both CKD and sarcopenia share common risk factors, such as diabetes, obesity, and age. While these pathologies together with reduced physical performance and malnutrition contribute to muscle loss, they cannot explain all features of CKD-associated sarcopenia. Metabolic acidosis, systemic inflammation, insulin resistance and the accumulation of uremic toxins have been identified as additional factors that occur in CKD and that can contribute to sarcopenia. Here, we discuss the elevation of systemic phosphate levels, also called hyperphosphatemia, and the imbalance in the endocrine regulators of phosphate metabolism as another CKD-associated pathology that can directly and indirectly harm skeletal muscle tissue. To identify causes, affected cell types, and the mechanisms of sarcopenia and thereby novel targets for therapeutic interventions, it is important to first characterize the precise pathologic changes on molecular, cellular, and histologic levels, and to do so in CKD patients as well as in animal models of CKD, which we describe here in detail. We also discuss the currently known pathomechanisms and therapeutic approaches of CKD-associated sarcopenia, as well as the effects of hyperphosphatemia and the novel drug targets it could provide to protect skeletal muscle in CKD.

Abstract
Maintaining an appropriate acid-base equilibrium is crucial for human health. A primary influencer of this equilibrium is diet, as foods are metabolized into non-volatile acids or bases. Dietary acid load (DAL) is a measure of the acid load derived from diet, taking into account both the potential renal acid load (PRAL) from food components like protein, potassium, phosphorus, calcium, and magnesium, and the organic acids from foods, which are metabolized to bicarbonate and thus have an alkalinizing effect. Current Western diets are characterized by a high DAL, due to large amounts of animal protein and processed foods. A chronic low-grade metabolic acidosis can occur following a Western diet and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Nutritional advice focusing on DAL, rather than macronutrients, is gaining rapid attention as it provides a more holistic approach to managing health. However, current evidence for the role of DAL is mainly associative, and underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. This review focusses on the role of DAL in multiple conditions such as obesity, cardiovascular health, impaired kidney function, and cancer.

Abstract
The crosstalk of the heart with distant organs such as the lung, liver, gut, and kidney has been intensively approached lately. The kidney is involved in (1) the production of systemic relevant products, such as renin, as part of the most essential vasoregulatory system of the human body, and (2) in the clearance of metabolites with systemic and organ effects. Metabolic residue accumulation during kidney dysfunction is known to determine cardiovascular pathologies such as endothelial activation/dysfunction, atherosclerosis, cardiomyocyte apoptosis, cardiac fibrosis, and vascular and valvular calcification, leading to hypertension, arrhythmias, myocardial infarction, and cardiomyopathies. However, this review offers an overview of the uremic metabolites and details their signaling pathways involved in cardiorenal syndrome and the development of heart failure. A holistic view of the metabolites, but more importantly, an exhaustive crosstalk of their known signaling pathways, is important for depicting new therapeutic strategies in the cardiovascular field.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a global health problem. In patients with CKD, exercise endurance is decreased, especially as renal dysfunction advances. This is due to the combined effects of protein-energy wasting, uremic acidosis, and inflammatory cachexia, which lead to sarcopenia and are aggravated by a sedentary lifestyle, resulting in a progressive downward spiral of deconditioning. Renal rehabilitation (RR) is a coordinated, multifaceted intervention designed to optimize a patient's physical, psychological, and social functioning, as well as to stabilize, slow, or even reverse the progression of renal deterioration, improving exercise tolerance and preventing the onset and worsening of heart failure, thereby reducing morbidity and mortality. This review focused on the history and benefits of RR in patients with CKD. Based on current evidence, RR is an effective, feasible, and safe secondary prevention strategy in CKD. RR is a promising model for a new field of rehabilitation. Therefore, efforts to increase RR implementation rates are urgently needed.

Abstract
SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT In CKD, metabolic acidosis is commonly treated with alkali in the hope that it will improve bone health. In a post hoc analysis of the Bicarbonate Administration to Stabilize eGFR Pilot Trial, we investigated whether sodium bicarbonate affects serum levels of bone turnover markers and other hormones related to bone health in individuals with CKD who have normal to slightly reduced total CO2 (20-28 mEq/L). Sodium bicarbonate increased serum levels of α-klotho but had no significant effect on other bone health markers, including intact fibroblast growth factor-23 (iFGF-23), intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH), and bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (B-SAP). Further study is needed to determine the effect of bicarbonate administration on clinical aspects of bone health. BACKGROUND Treatment with alkali has been hypothesized to improve bone health in CKD by mitigating adverse effects of acid on bone mineral. We investigated the effect of treatment with sodium bicarbonate on bone turnover markers and other factors related to bone metabolism in CKD. METHODS This is a post hoc analysis of the Bicarbonate Administration to Stabilize eGFR Pilot Trial in which 194 individuals with CKD and serum total CO2 20-28 mEq/L were randomly assigned to placebo or one of two doses of sodium bicarbonate (0.5 or 0.8 mEq/kg lean body weight per day) for 28 weeks. The following serum measurements were performed at baseline, week 12, and week 28: B-SAP, c-telopeptide, procollagen type I intact N-terminal propeptide, iPTH, iFGF-23, soluble klotho, 25-hydroxyvitamin D, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b. The difference (sodium bicarbonate versus placebo) in mean change of each bone biomarker from baseline was determined using linear mixed models. RESULTS One hundred sixty-eight participants submitted samples for post hoc investigations. Mean eGFR was 37±10 ml/min per 1.73 m2 and mean total CO2 was 24±3 mEq/L at baseline. Sodium bicarbonate induced a dose-dependent increase in soluble klotho levels compared with placebo. There was no significant effect of treatment with either dose of sodium bicarbonate on any of the other bone biomarkers, including iFGF-23, iPTH, and B-SAP. Effects on bone biomarkers were similar in those with baseline serum total CO2 <24 mEq/L compared with those with total CO2 ≥24 mEq/L. CONCLUSIONS In this pilot trial of individuals with CKD and total CO2 20-28 mEq/L, sodium bicarbonate treatment increased serum klotho levels but did not affect other bone health markers over 28 weeks.

Abstract
Metabolic acidosis unfavourably influences the nutritional status of patients with non-dialysis dependent chronic kidney disease (CKD) including the loss of muscle mass and functionality, but the benefits of correction are uncertain. We investigated the effects of correcting metabolic acidosis on nutritional status in patients with CKD in a systematic review and meta-analysis. A search was conducted in MEDLINE and the Cochrane Library from inception to June 2023. Study selection, bias assessment, and data extraction were independently performed by two reviewers. The Cochrane risk of bias tool was used to assess the quality of individual studies. We applied random effects meta-analysis to obtain pooled standardized mean difference (SMD) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). We retrieved data from 12 intervention studies including 1995 patients, with a mean age of 63.7 ± 11.7 years, a mean estimated glomerular filtration rate of 29.8 ± 8.8 mL/min per 1.73 m2 , and 58% were male. Eleven studies performed an intervention with oral sodium bicarbonate compared with either placebo or with standard care and one study compared veverimer, an oral HCl-binding polymer, with placebo. The mean change in serum bicarbonate was +3.6 mEq/L in the intervention group and +0.4 mEq/L in the control group. Correcting metabolic acidosis significantly improved muscle mass assessed by mid-arm muscle circumference (SMD 0.35 [95% CI 0.16 to 0.54], P < 0.001) and functionality assessed with the sit-to-stand test (SMD -0.31 [95% CI -0.52 to 0.11], P = 0.003). We found no statistically significant effects on dietary protein intake, handgrip strength, serum albumin and prealbumin concentrations, and blood urea nitrogen. Correcting metabolic acidosis in patients with CKD improves muscle mass and physical function. Correction of metabolic acidosis should be considered as part of the nutritional care for patients with CKD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to determine the dietary acid load of children with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and to evaluate the relationship between dietary acid load, nutritional status, and health-related quality of life (HRQOL). METHOD A total of 67 children aged 3-18 years with a diagnosis of CKD stages II-V were included in the study. Anthropometric measurements (body weight, height, mid-upper arm circumference, waist, and neck circumference) and 3-day food consumption records were taken to evaluate the nutritional status. The net endogenous acid production (NEAP) score was calculated to determine the dietary acid load. "Pediatric Inventory of Quality of Life (PedsQL)" was used to assess the participants' HRQOL. RESULTS The mean NEAP was 59.2 ± 18.96 mEq/day. Stunted and malnourished children had significantly higher NEAP than those who were not (p < 0.05). There were no significant differences in terms of HRQOL scores according to NEAP groups. The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that waist circumference (OR: 0.890, 95% CI: 0.794-0.997), serum albumin (OR: 0.252, 95% CI: 0.068-0.929), and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) (OR: 0.985, 95% CI: 0.970-1.000) were negatively associated with high NEAP. CONCLUSION This study shows that a diet shifted in an acidic direction in children with CKD and a higher dietary acid load are associated with lower serum albumin, GFR, and waist circumference, but not HRQOL. These results suggest that dietary acid load might affect nutritional status and CKD progression in children with CKD. Future studies with larger samples are needed to confirm these results and to understand underlying mechanisms. A higher resolution version of the Graphical abstract is available as Supplementary information.

Int J Nephrol 2023; 2023:6657188. [PMID: 37545875 PMCID: PMC10403331 DOI: 10.1155/2023/6657188] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2022] [Revised: 07/17/2023] [Accepted: 07/19/2023] [Indexed: 08/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Background The effect of correcting metabolic acidosis on protein metabolism in hemodialysis patients is controversial. Objectives To study the effects of oral sodium bicarbonate on protein metabolism and markers of inflammation in acidotic hemodialysis patients. Patients and Methods. An open-label randomized controlled trial was conducted at a single center. Sixty-six clinically stable adult hemodialysis patients were recruited with an average predialysis serum bicarbonate level of <22 mmol/l and a dialysate bicarbonate concentration of 35 mmol/l. Forty-nine participants have completed the study. Oral sodium bicarbonate tablets of 500 mg were given daily in the intervention group (n = 25) for 12 weeks versus the standard of care in the control group (n = 24). Outcomes compared intervention versus nonintervention in both groups at equivalent time points (0 and 3 months). The clinical data, anthropometry, dialysis adequacy, albumin, normalized protein catabolism rate, blood gas analysis, and bicarbonate were recorded at 0 and 3 months. In addition, muscle mass and handgrip strength were measured. Finally, IL-6 as a marker of inflammation was measured at randomization and three months. Results Serum bicarbonate and pH increased significantly from 17.57 ± 3.34 mmol/L to 20.69 ± 2.54 mmol/L and from 7.26 ± 0.06 to 7.34 ± 0.04, respectively (p < 0.0001). Serum albumin was significantly higher in the intervention group at three months than in the control group, 4.11 ± 0.45 vs. 3.79 ± 0.47 (p value 0.011). Serum potassium significantly decreased in the intervention group at three months compared to the control group, 5.00 ± 0.43 mEq/l vs. 5.33 ± 0.63 mEq/l (p value 0.03). Muscle strength expressed as handgrip has improved significantly in the intervention group at three months compared to the control group, 45.01 ± 19.19 vs. 33.93 ± 15.06 (p value 0.03). The IL-6 values were less in the intervention group at 3 months with a p value of 0.01. The interdialytic weight of the intervention group at three months was 2.42 ± 0.64 compared to the 2.20 ± 1.14 control group, but this did not reach statistical significance (p value of 0.4). The composite of (albumin + nPCR) at three months was achieved in 59.18% of the intervention group compared to 14.28% with a p value of 0.01. Conclusions Correcting metabolic acidosis in hemodialysis patients improved serum albumin and nPCR without hypokalemia or significant interdialytic weight gain. This was particularly evident in patients with minimal inflammation with low IL-6 values.

[PMID: 37513525 PMCID: PMC10384728 DOI: 10.3390/nu15143107] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/09/2023] [Revised: 07/07/2023] [Accepted: 07/10/2023] [Indexed: 07/30/2023] Open
Abstract
Loss of muscle mass is an extremely frequent complication in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The etiology of muscle loss in CKD is multifactorial and may depend on kidney disease itself, dialysis, the typical chronic low-grade inflammation present in patients with chronic kidney disease, but also metabolic acidosis, insulin resistance, vitamin D deficiency, hormonal imbalances, amino acid loss during dialysis, and reduced dietary intake. All these conditions together increase protein degradation, decrease protein synthesis, and lead to negative protein balance. Aging further exacerbates sarcopenia in CKD patients. Nutritional therapy, such as protein restriction, aims to manage uremic toxins and slow down the progression of CKD. Low-protein diets (LPDs) and very low-protein diets (VLPDs) supplemented with amino acids or ketoacids are commonly prescribed. Energy intake is crucial, with a higher intake associated with maintaining a neutral or positive nitrogen balance. Adequate nutritional and dietary support are fundamental in preventing nutritional inadequacies and, consequently, muscle wasting, which can occur in CKD patients. This review explores the causes of muscle loss in CKD and how it can be influenced by nutritional strategies aimed at improving muscle mass and muscle strength.

Treatment with fibroblast growth factor 19 increases skeletal muscle fiber size, ameliorates metabolic perturbations and hepatic inflammation in 5/6 nephrectomized mice. Sci Rep 2023; 13:5520.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with osteosarcopenia, and because a physical decline in patients correlates with an increased risk of morbidity, an improvement of the musculoskeletal system is expected to improve morbi-mortality. We recently uncovered that the intestinal hormone Fibroblast Growth Factor 19 (FGF19) is able to promote skeletal muscle mass and strength in rodent models, in addition to its capacity to improve glucose homeostasis. Here, we tested the effects of a treatment with recombinant human FGF19 in a CKD mouse model, which associates sarcopenia and metabolic disorders. In 5/6 nephrectomized (5/6Nx) mice, subcutaneous FGF19 injection (0.1 mg/kg) during 18 days increased skeletal muscle fiber size independently of food intake and weight gain, associated with decreased gene expression of myostatin. Furthermore, FGF19 treatment attenuated glucose intolerance and reduced hepatic expression of gluconeogenic genes in uremic mice. Importantly, the treatment also decreased gene expression of liver inflammatory markers in CKD mice. Therefore, our results suggest that FGF19 may represent a novel interesting therapeutic strategy for a global improvement of sarcopenia and metabolic complications in CKD.

Abstract
Muscle wasting (ie, atrophy) is a serious consequence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) that reduces muscle strength and function. It reduces the quality of life for CKD patients and increases the risks of comorbidities and mortality. Current treatment strategies to prevent or reverse skeletal muscle loss are limited owing to the broad and systemic nature of the initiating signals and the multifaceted catabolic mechanisms that accelerate muscle protein degradation and impair protein synthesis and repair pathways. Recent evidence has shown how organs such as muscle, adipose, and kidney communicate with each other through interorgan exchange of proteins and RNAs during CKD. This crosstalk changes cell functions in the recipient organs and represents an added dimension in the complex processes that are responsible for muscle atrophy in CKD. This complexity creates challenges for the development of effective therapies to ameliorate muscle wasting and weakness in patients with CKD.

Abstract
Ammonium is the most important component of urinary acid excretion, normally accounting for about two-third of net acid excretion. In this article, we discuss urine ammonium not only in the evaluation of metabolic acidosis but also in other clinical conditions such as chronic kidney disease. Different methods to measure urine NH4+ that have been employed over the years are discussed. The enzymatic method used by clinical laboratories in the United States to measure plasma ammonia via the glutamate dehydrogenase can be used for urine ammonium. The urine anion gap calculation can be used as a rough marker of urine ammonium in the initial bedside evaluation of metabolic acidosis such as in distal renal tubular acidosis. Urine ammonium measurements, however, should be made more available in clinical medicine for a precise evaluation of this important component of urinary acid excretion.

Abstract
Ensuring cell survival and tissue regeneration by maintaining cellular integrity is important to the pathophysiology of many human diseases, including kidney disease. Mitsugumin 53 (MG53) is a member of the tripartite motif-containing (TRIM) protein family that plays an essential role in repairing cell membrane injury and improving tissue regeneration. In recent years, an increasing number of studies have demonstrated that MG53 plays a renoprotective role in kidney diseases. Moreover, with the beneficial effects of the recombinant human MG53 (rhMG53) protein in the treatment of kidney diseases in different animal models, rhMG53 shows significant therapeutic potential in kidney disease. In this review, we elucidate the role of MG53 and its molecular mechanism in kidney disease to provide new approaches to the treatment of kidney disease.

Abstract
PURPOSE Approximately 700,000 people in the USA have chronic kidney disease requiring dialysis. Protein-energy wasting (PEW), a condition of advanced catabolism, contributes to three-year survival rates of 50%. PEW occurs at all levels of Body Mass Index (BMI) but is devastating for those people at the extremes. Treatment for PEW depends on an accurate understanding of energy expenditure. Previous research established that current methods of identifying PEW and assessing adequate treatments are imprecise. This includes disease-specific equations for estimated resting energy expenditure (eREE). In this study, we applied machine learning (ML) modelling techniques to a clinical database of dialysis patients. We assessed the precision of the ML algorithms relative to the best-performing traditional equation, the MHDE. METHODS This was a secondary analysis of the Rutgers Nutrition and Kidney Database. To build the ML models we divided the population into test and validation sets. Eleven ML models were run and optimized, with the best three selected by the lowest root mean squared error (RMSE) from measured REE. Values for eREE were generated for each ML model and for the MHDE. We compared precision using Bland-Altman plots. RESULTS Individuals were 41.4% female and 82.0% African American. The mean age was 56.4 ± 11.1 years, and the median BMI was 28.8 (IQR = 24.8 - 34.0) kg/m2. The best ML models were SVR, Linear Regression and Elastic net with RMSE of 103.6 kcal, 119.0 kcal and 121.1 kcal respectively. The SVR demonstrated the greatest precision, with 91.2% of values falling within acceptable limits. This compared to 47.1% for the MHDE. The models using non-linear techniques were precise across extremes of BMI. CONCLUSION ML improves precision in calculating eREE for dialysis patients, including those most vulnerable for PEW. Further development for clinical use is a priority.

Abstract
AIM To find the association between dietary acid load (DAL) and body composition in physical education students. METHODS This study was carried out on 207 students of both genders aged 18-25 years. DAL was calculated based on potential renal acid load (PRAL) and net endogenous acid production (NEAP) methods. Anthropometric indices were measured. Bioelectric impedance was used to assess body composition and other related items. RESULTS The mean score of NEAP and PRAL was 80.18 ± 31.30 and 33.94 ± 22.11, respectively. The mean weight and fat mass of subjects were 64.05 ± 9.72 kg and 20.28 ± 0.67 kg, respectively. Participants in the highest tertile of PRAL had a higher weight (64.56 ± 1.14 kg) in comparison with participants in the lowest tertile (61.65 ± 1.19 kg) (P = 0.027). After adjusting for confounders, a significant positive association was found between NEAP score and hip circumference (β = 0.206, P = 0.039), body mass index (β = 0.214, P = 0.031), fat mass (β = 0.218, P = 0.001) and body adiposity index (β = 0.182, P = 0.037). Furthermore, a statistically significant negative association was observed between total body water and NEAP score (β = - 0.217, P = 0.001) and the percentage of fat-free mass and NEAP (β = - 0.229, P = 0.001). CONCLUSION Individuals with a higher DAL score may have a higher weight, fat mass and hip circumference and a lower fat-free mass. In addition, there might be an association between DAL and obesity.

Abstract
Exercise training can increase both mitochondrial content and mitochondrial respiration. Despite its popularity, high-intensity exercise can be accompanied by mild acidosis (also present in certain pathological states), which may limit exercise-induced adaptations to skeletal muscle mitochondria. The aim of this study was to determine if administration of ammonium chloride (0.05 g/kg) to Wistar rats before each individual exercise session (5 high-intensity exercise sessions per week for eight weeks) reduced training-induced increases in mitochondrial content (measured by citrate synthase activity and protein content of electron transport system complexes) and respiration (measured in permeabilised muscle fibres). In the soleus muscle, the exercise-training-induced increase in mitochondrial respiration was reduced in rats administered ammonium chloride compared to control animals, but mitochondrial content was not altered. These effects were not present in the white gastrocnemius muscle. In conclusion, ammonium chloride administration before each exercise session over eight weeks reduced improvements in mitochondrial respiration in the soleus muscle but did not alter mitochondrial content. This suggests that mild acidosis may impact training-induced improvements in the respiration of mitochondria in some muscles.

Abstract
This investigation with aimed the effect of APOA2-265 T > C polymorphism and dietary acid load (DAL) as either potential renal acid load (PRAL) and net endogenous acid production (NEAP) intake interaction on metabolic markers in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). In present cross-sectional study, 737 patients with T2DM (290 men and 447 women) were enlisted from diabetes centers in Tehran. The dietary intakes of all participants during the last year was acquired by a validated semi-quantitative food frequency (FFQ) questionnaire. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used for genotyping the APOA2-265 T > C. Biochemical indises containing leptin, ghrelin, total cholesterol (Bailey et al., J Clin Invest 97:1147-1453, 1996), low-density lipoprotein cholestrol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholestrol (HDL-C), triglyceride (TG), superoxide dismutase (SOD), high sensitivy C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), total antioxidant capacity (TAC), pentraxin-3 (PTX3), prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α) and interleukin 18 (IL18) were measured by standard method. Atherogenic indices (AIP, AC, CR-I, CR-II) were calculated. The gene-diet interactions were evaluated using an GLM. The frequency overall prevalence of rs5082 genotypes was 63.82 and 36.17% for T-allele and C-allele respectively. TG, Ghrelin, and hs-CRP concentrations were significantly higher among carriers with C allele than TT homozygotes. However, TC/CC genotypes have lower PTX3 than TT homozygotes (P < 0.05). C-allele carriers had highest mean of BMI (PNEAP=0.04, PPRAL = 0.006), WC (PNEAP=0.04, PPRAL = 0.04), TC (PNEAP=0.03, PPRAL = 0.01), ghrelin (PNEAP=0.01, PPRAL = 0.04), and leptin (PNEAP=0.04, PPRAL = 0.03) when placed in top tertiles of NEAP and PRAL.BMI, WC, TC, ghrelin, and leptin levels may be modified in C carriers by decreasing DAL, though, further investigations are required to confirm these findings.

Abstract
Metabolic acidosis affects about 15% of patients with chronic kidney disease. As kidney function declines, the kidneys progressively fail to eliminate acid, primarily reflected by a decrease in ammonium and titratable acid excretion. Several studies have shown that the net acid load remains unchanged in patients with reduced kidney function; the ensuing acid accumulation can precede overt metabolic acidosis, and thus, indicators of urinary acid or potential base excretion, such as ammonium and citrate, may serve as early signals of impending metabolic acidosis. Acid retention, with or without overt metabolic acidosis, initiates compensatory responses that can promote tubulointerstitial fibrosis via intrarenal complement activation and upregulation of endothelin-1, angiotensin II, and aldosterone pathways. The net effect is a cycle between acid accumulation and kidney injury. Results from small- to medium-sized interventional trials suggest that interrupting this cycle through base administration can prevent further kidney injury. While these findings inform current clinical practice guidelines, large-scale clinical trials are still necessary to prove that base therapy can limit chronic kidney disease progression or associated adverse events.

Abstract
Metabolic acidosis is common in people with chronic kidney disease and can contribute to functional decline, morbidity, and mortality. One avenue through which metabolic acidosis can result in these adverse clinical outcomes is by negatively impacting skeletal muscle; this can occur through several pathways. First, metabolic acidosis promotes protein degradation and impairs protein synthesis, which lead to muscle breakdown. Second, metabolic acidosis hinders mitochondrial function, which decreases oxidative phosphorylation and reduces energy production. Third, metabolic acidosis directly limits muscle contraction. The purpose of this review is to examine the specific mechanisms of each pathway through which metabolic acidosis affects muscle, the impact of metabolic acidosis on physical function, and the effect of treating metabolic acidosis on functional outcomes.

Abstract
Several studies have demonstrated a strong relation between periodontal diseases and chronic kidney disease (CKD). The main mechanisms at the base of this link are malnutrition, vitamin dysregulation, especially of B-group vitamins and of C and D vitamins, oxidative stress, metabolic acidosis and low-grade inflammation. In particular, in hemodialysis (HD) adult patients, an impairment of nutritional status has been observed, induced not only by the HD procedures themselves, but also due to numerous CKD-related comorbidities. The alteration of nutritional assessment induces systemic manifestations that have repercussions on oral health, like oral microbiota dysbiosis, slow healing of wounds related to hypovitaminosis C, and an alteration of the supporting bone structures of the oral cavity related to metabolic acidosis and vitamin D deficiency. Low-grade inflammation has been observed to characterize periodontal diseases locally and, in a systemic manner, CKD contributes to the amplification of the pathological process, bidirectionally. Therefore, CKD and oral disease patients should be managed by a multidisciplinary professional team that can evaluate the possible co-presence of these two pathological conditions, that negatively influence each other, and set up therapeutic strategies to treat them. Once these patients have been identified, they should be included in a follow-up program, characterized by periodic checks in order to manage these pathological conditions.

Abstract
The daily amount and quality of protein that should be administered by enteral nutrition in pre-dialysis chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients is a widely studied but still controversial issue. This is due to a compromise between the protein necessary to maintain muscular proteostasis avoiding sarcopenia, and the minimal amount required to prevent uremia and the accumulation of nitrogenous toxic substances in blood because of the renal function limitations. This review underlines some intracellular and extracellular features that should be considered to reconcile those two opposite factors. On one hand, the physiological conditions and usual side effects associated with CKD, mTOR and other proteins and nutrients involved in the regulation of protein synthesis in the muscular tissue are discussed. On the other hand, the main digestive features of the most common proteins used for enteral nutrition formulation (i.e., whey, casein and soy protein) are highlighted, due to the importance of supplying key amino acids to serum and tissues to maintain their concentration above the anabolic threshold needed for active protein synthesis, thereby minimizing the catabolic pathways leading to urea formation.

Abstract
Loss of muscle proteins is a deleterious consequence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) that causes a decrease in muscle strength and function, and can lead to a reduction in quality of life and increased risk of morbidity and mortality. The effectiveness of current treatment strategies in preventing or reversing muscle protein losses is limited. The limitations largely stem from the systemic nature of diseases such as CKD, which stimulate skeletal muscle protein degradation pathways while simultaneously activating mechanisms that impair muscle protein synthesis and repair. Stimuli that initiate muscle protein loss include metabolic acidosis, insulin and IGF1 resistance, changes in hormones, cytokines, inflammatory processes and decreased appetite. A growing body of evidence suggests that signalling molecules secreted from muscle can enter the circulation and subsequently interact with recipient organs, including the kidneys, while conversely, pathological events in the kidney can adversely influence protein metabolism in skeletal muscle, demonstrating the existence of crosstalk between kidney and muscle. Together, these signals, whether direct or indirect, induce changes in the levels of regulatory and effector proteins via alterations in mRNAs, microRNAs and chromatin epigenetic responses. Advances in our understanding of the signals and processes that mediate muscle loss in CKD and other muscle wasting conditions will support the future development of therapeutic strategies to reduce muscle loss.

Abstract
Metabolic acidosis is one of the most common complications of chronic kidney disease (CKD). It is associated with the progression of CKD, and many other functional impairments. Until recently, only serum bicarbonate levels have been used to evaluate acid-base changes in patients with reduced kidney function. However, recent emerging evidence suggests that nephrologists should reevaluate the clinical approach for diagnosing metabolic acidosis in patients with CKD based on two perspectives; pH and anion gap. Biochemistry and physiology textbooks clearly indicate that blood pH is the most important acid-base parameter for cellular function. Therefore, it is important to determine if the prognostic impact of hypobicarbonatemia varies according to pH level. A recent cohort study of CKD patients showed that venous pH modified the association between a low bicarbonate level and the progression of CKD. Furthermore, acidosis with a high anion gap has recently been recognized as an important prognostic factor, because veverimer, a nonabsorbable hydrochloride-binding polymer, has been shown to improve kidney function and decrease the anion gap. Acidosis with high anion gap frequently develops in later stages of CKD. Therefore, the anion gap is a time-varying factor and renal function (estimated glomerular filtration rate) is a time-dependent confounder for the anion gap and renal outcomes. Recent analyses using marginal structural models showed that acidosis with a high anion gap was associated with a high risk of CKD. Based on these observations, reconsideration of the clinical approach to diagnosing and treating metabolic acidosis in CKD may be warranted.

Abstract
Background Studies examining associations between metabolic acidosis and cardiovascular events in chronic kidney disease (CKD) have shown conflicting results and have not differentiated between normal anion gap (hyperchloremic) acidosis and high anion gap acidosis. We aimed to examine the impact of normal and high anion gap acidosis, separately, on the risk of cardiovascular events among patients with CKD. Methods This retrospective cohort study included 1168 patients with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of 10–60 mL/min/1.73 m2 and available data on anion gap. We analyzed the association of time-updated high anion gap (anion gap ≥9.2) with the rate of cardiovascular events using marginal structural models (MSMs) to account for time-dependent confounding. We also analyzed the association between time-updated normal anion gap acidosis (anion-gap-adjusted bicarbonate level ≤22.8 mEq/L) and cardiovascular events. Results The mean baseline eGFR of the cohort was 28 mL/min/1.73 m2. The prevalence rates of high anion gap in CKD stages G3a, G3b, G4 and G5 were 20%, 16%, 27% and 46%, respectively. During a median follow-up period of 2.9 years, 132 patients developed cardiovascular events (3.3/100 patient-years). In MSMs, high anion gap was associated with a higher rate of cardiovascular events [hazard ratio (HR) 1.87; 95% confidence interval (95% CI) 1.13‒3.09; P = 0.02] and the composite of cardiovascular events or all-cause death (HR 3.28; 95% CI 2.19‒4.91; P < 0.001). Normal anion gap acidosis was not associated with cardiovascular events (HR 0.74; 95% CI, 0.47‒1.17; P = 0.2). Conclusions Among patients with advanced CKD, high anion gap was associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events.

Abstract
Bone and muscle tissue are developed hand-in-hand during childhood and adolescence and interact through mechanical loads and biochemical pathways forming the musculoskeletal system. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is widely considered as both a bone and muscle-weakening disease, eventually leading to frailty phenotype, with detrimental effects on overall morbidity. CKD also interferes in the biomechanical communication between two tissues. Pathogenetic mechanisms including systemic inflammation, anorexia, physical inactivity, vitamin D deficiency and secondary hyperparathyroidism, metabolic acidosis, impaired growth hormone/insulin growth factor 1 axis, insulin resistance, and activation of renin-angiotensin system are incriminated for longitudinal uncoordinated loss of bone mineral content, bone strength, muscle mass, and muscle strength, leading to mechanical impairment of the functional muscle-bone unit. At the same time, CKD may also interfere in the biochemical crosstalk between the two organs, through inhibiting or stimulating the expression of certain osteokines and myokines. This review focuses on presenting current knowledge, according to in vitro, in vivo, and clinical studies, concerning the pathogenetic pathways involved in the muscle-bone axis, and suggests approaches aimed at preventing bone loss and muscle wasting in the pediatric population. Novel therapeutic targets for preserving musculoskeletal health in the context of CKD are also discussed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Dynapenia and sarcopenia are related to increased morbidity and mortality in the general population. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) causes sarcopenia and dynapenia with different mechanisms. The aim of this study is to compare the muscle parameters in renal transplant recipients to CKD patients and patients without kidney disease and assess their associations with serum insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) levels. METHOD In total, 120 renal transplant recipients (mean age: 40.4 ± 10.5 years), 60 CKD patients (mean age: 41.9 ± 11.4 years), and 60 control subjects with normal kidney function (mean age: 38.8 ± 9.9 years) were enrolled. Body mass index, hand grip strength, bioelectrical impedance analysis, 6-minute walking test, and serum IGF-1 level were measured and compared between groups. Muscle parameters were evaluated according to The Foundation for the National Institutes of Health Biomarkers Consortium Sarcopenia Project criteria. RESULTS IGF-1 levels were highest in the renal transplantation group and lowest in the control group (P = .029). In total, 12.5% of patients in the renal transplantation group (13.3% overweight, 20% obese), 11.6% in the CKD group, and 1.6% in the control group had dynapenia (P = .015). In addition, 8.3% of patients in the CKD group, 3.3% in the renal transplantation group (50% overweight), and none of the patients in the control group had sarcopenia (P = .054). In multivariate analyses, muscle strength was associated with IGF-1 levels in renal transplant recipients (beta = 2.314, t = 3.456, P = .001). CONCLUSIONS Serum IGF-1 is closely associated with muscle strength in renal transplant recipients. The negative effects of CKD on muscle system cannot be completely resolved with renal transplantation. Sarcopenic obesity and dynapenic obesity need special attention and therefore body mass index cannot be used as the only parameter to evaluate frailty in renal transplant recipients.

Abstract
AIMS Sarcopenia, one of the primary diseases of the older adult population, is a condition characterized by loss of skeletal muscle mass, strength and functionality. Due to its considerable economic impact, preventive interventions for sarcopenia play an important role in the older adult population. Urine includes many indicators of physiology and pathophysiology. Urine analysis is used to diagnose many different diseases. The goal of this cohort study was to examine the relationship between urine pH level and skeletal muscle mass. METHODS This community-based cross-sectional study was carried out among 9712 Taiwanese individuals (4992 men and 4720 women). We used urine pH as an independent variable and skeletal muscle mass as a dependent variable. Bioelectric impedance analysis was used to measure the percentage of skeletal muscle mass (PSMM). We collected first fasting morning urine samples after overnight fasting, and urine pH was measured with a dipstick. In the by-sex and by-obesity analyses, we stratified the sample into two subgroups and a linear regression model was used for covariate adjustment. RESULTS In the fully adjusted model, all-subject analysis showed a statistically significant association between urine pH and the PSMM with a β coefficient of 0.820 (95% CI 0.615-1.025; P < 0.001). Additionally, by-sex analysis showed that urine pH was related to the PSMM in both sexes, with β coefficients of 0.261 (95% CI 0.006-0.516; P = 0.045) in men and 0.179 (95% CI 0.029-0.328; P = 0.019) in women. By-obesity status analysis showed that urine pH was related to the PSMM in the body mass index <27 group with a β coefficient of 0.284 (95% CI 0.101-0.466; P = 0.002) after full adjustment. However, for the body mass index ≥27 group, there was no significant relationship between urine pH and the PSMM (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION The results showed the impacts of urine pH levels on skeletal muscle mass in both sexes and non-obese populations. Due to its easily accessible and economical characteristics, urine analysis is a convenient way to approach patients with low skeletal muscle mass and predict sarcopenia.

Abstract
Metabolic acidosis is a severe complication of chronic kidney disease (CKD) which is associated with nefarious impairments such as bone demineralization, muscle wasting, and hormonal alterations, for example, insulin resistance. Whilst it is possible to control this condition with alkali treatment, consisting in the oral administration of sodium citrate or sodium bicarbonate, this type of intervention is not free from side effects. On the contrary, opting for the implementation of a targeted dietetic-nutritional treatment for the control of CKD metabolic acidosis also comes with a range of additional benefits such as lipid profile control, increased vitamins, and antioxidants intake. In our review, we evaluated the main dietary-nutritional regimens useful to counteract metabolic acidosis, such as the Mediterranean diet, the alkaline diet, the low-protein diet, and the vegan low-protein diet, analyzing the potentialities and limits of every dietary-nutritional treatment. Literature data suggest that the Mediterranean and alkaline diets represent a valid nutritional approach in the prevention and correction of metabolic acidosis in CKD early stages, while the low-protein diet and the vegan low-protein diet are more effective in CKD advanced stages. In conclusion, we propose that tailored nutritional approaches should represent a valid therapeutic alternative to counteract metabolic acidosis.

Abstract
Sepsis is defined as “life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection”. Contrary to the older definitions, the current one not only focuses on inflammation, but points to systemic disturbances in homeostasis, including metabolism. Sepsis leads to sepsis-induced dysfunction and mitochondrial damage, which is suggested as a major cause of cell metabolism disorders in these patients. The changes affect the metabolism of all macronutrients. The metabolism of all macronutrients is altered. A characteristic change in carbohydrate metabolism is the intensification of glycolysis, which in combination with the failure of entering pyruvate to the tricarboxylic acid cycle increases the formation of lactate. Sepsis also affects lipid metabolism—lipolysis in adipose tissue is upregulated, which leads to an increase in the level of fatty acids and triglycerides in the blood. At the same time, their use is disturbed, which may result in the accumulation of lipids and their toxic metabolites. Changes in the metabolism of ketone bodies and amino acids have also been described. Metabolic disorders in sepsis are an important area of research, both for their potential role as a target for future therapies (metabolic resuscitation) and for optimizing the current treatment, such as clinical nutrition.

Abstract
Rhesus C glycoprotein (Rhcg), an ammonia transporter, is a key molecule in urinary acid excretion and is expressed mainly in the intercalated cells (ICs) of the renal collecting duct. In the present study we investigated the role of aldosterone in the regulation of Rhcg expression. In in vivo experiments using C57BL/6J mice, Western blot analysis showed that continuous subcutaneous administration of aldosterone increased the expression of Rhcg in membrane fraction of the kidney. Supplementation of potassium inhibited the effect of aldosterone on the Rhcg. Next, mice were subjected to adrenalectomy with or without administration of aldosterone, and then ad libitum 0.14 M NH4Cl containing water was given. NH4Cl load increased the expression of Rhcg in membrane fraction. Adrenalectomy decreased NH4Cl-induced Rhcg expression, which was restored by administration of aldosterone. Immunohistochemical studies revealed that NH4Cl load induced the localization of Rhcg at the apical membrane of ICs in the outer medullary collecting duct. Adrenalectomy decreased NH4Cl-induced membrane localization of Rhcg, which was restored by administration of aldosterone. For in vitro experiments, IN-IC cells, an immortalized cell line stably expressing Flag-tagged Rhcg (Rhcg-Flag), were used. Western blot analysis showed that aldosterone increased the expression of Rhcg-Flag in membrane fraction, while the increase in extracellular potassium level inhibited the effect of aldosterone. Both spironolactone and Gӧ6983, a PKC inhibitor, inhibited the expression of Rhcg-Flag in the membrane fraction. These results suggest that aldosterone regulates the membrane expression of Rhcg through the mineralocorticoid receptor and PKC pathways, which is modulated by extracellular potassium level.

Association of Pre-ESRD Serum Bicarbonate with Post-ESRD Mortality in Patients with Incident ESRD. Am J Nephrol 2021; 52:304-317.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Serum bicarbonate or total carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations decline as chronic kidney disease (CKD) progresses and rise after dialysis initiation. While metabolic acidosis accelerates the progression of CKD and is associated with higher mortality among patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD), there are scarce data on the association of CO2 concentrations before ESRD transition with post-ESRD mortality. METHODS A historical cohort from the Transition of Care in CKD (TC-CKD) study includes 85,505 veterans who transitioned to ESRD from October 1, 2007, through March 31, 2014. After 1,958 patients without follow-up data, 3 patients with missing date of birth, and 50,889 patients without CO2 6 months prior to ESRD transition were excluded, the study population includes 32,655 patients. Associations between CO2 concentrations averaged over the last 6 months and its rate of decline during the 12 months prior to ESRD transition and post-ESRD all-cause, cardiovascular (CV), and non-CV mortality were examined by using hierarchical adjustment with Cox regression models. RESULTS The cohort was on average 68 ± 11 years old and included 29% Black veterans. Baseline concentrations of CO2 were 23 ± 4 mEq/L, and median (interquartile range) change in CO2 were -1.8 [-3.4, -0.2] mEq/L/year. High (≥28 mEq/L) and low (<18 mEq/L) CO2 concentrations showed higher adjusted mortality risk while there was no clear trend in the middle range. Consistent associations were observed irrespective of sodium bicarbonate use. There was also a U-shaped association between the change in CO2 and all-cause, CV, and non-CV mortality with the lowest risk approximately at -2.0 and 0.0 mEq/L/year among sodium bicarbonate nonusers and users, respectively, and the highest mortality was among patients with decline in CO2 >4 mEq/L/year. CONCLUSION Both high and low pre-ESRD CO2 levels (≥28 and <18 mEq/L) during 6 months prior to dialysis transition and rate of CO2 decline >4 mEq/L/year during 1 year before dialysis initiation were associated with greater post-ESRD all-cause, CV, and non-CV mortality. Further studies are needed to determine the optimal management of CO2 in patients with advanced CKD stages transitioning to ESRD.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW : Sarcopenia, defined as decreased muscle mass or function, is prevalent in chronic kidney disease (CKD) increasing the risk of mobility impairment and frailty. CKD leads to metabolic acidosis (MA) and retention of uremic toxins contributing to insulin resistance and impaired muscle mitochondrial energetics. Here we focus on the central role of muscle mitochondrial metabolism in muscle function. RECENT FINDINGS : Mitochondrial dysfunction underlies muscle wasting and poor physical endurance in CKD. Uremic toxins accumulate in muscle disrupting mitochondrial respiration and enzymes. Changes in mitochondrial quantity, quality, and oxidative capacity contribute to mobility impairment in CKD. Major determinants of muscle mitochondrial function are kidney function, inflammation, and oxidative stress. In CKD, MA is the major determinant of muscle mitochondrial function. Metabolomics reveals defects in pathways linked to mitochondrial energy metabolism and acid-base homeostasis underlying insulin resistance in CKD. SUMMARY : Decreased mitochondrial capacity and quality control can impair muscle function contributing to decreased physical endurance. MA augments insulin resistance perpetuating the catabolic state underlying muscle wasting in CKD. Further studies are needed to investigate if targeting of MA improves muscle mitochondrial function and insulin resistance translating into meaningful improvements in physical endurance.

Abstract
AIM Exercise is able to increase both muscle protein synthesis and mitochondrial biogenesis. However, acidosis, which can occur in pathological states as well as during high-intensity exercise, can decrease mitochondrial function, whilst its impact on muscle protein synthesis is disputed. Thus, the aim of this study was to determine the effect of a mild physiological decrease in pH, by administration of ammonium chloride, on myofibrillar and mitochondrial protein synthesis, as well as associated molecular signaling events. METHODS Male Wistar rats were given either a placebo or ammonium chloride prior to a short interval training session. Rats were killed before exercise, immediately after exercise, or 3 h after exercise. RESULTS Myofibrillar (p = 0.036) fractional protein synthesis rates was increased immediately after exercise in the soleus muscle of the placebo group, but this effect was absent in the ammonium chloride group. However, in the gastrocnemius muscle NH4 Cl increased myofibrillar (p = 0.044) and mitochondrial protein synthesis (0 h after exercise p = 0.01; 3 h after exercise p = 0.003). This was accompanied by some small differences in protein phosphorylation and mRNA expression. CONCLUSION This study found ammonium chloride administration immediately prior to a single session of exercise in rats had differing effects on mitochondrial and myofibrillar protein synthesis rates in soleus (type I) and gastrocnemius (type II) muscle in rats.

Abstract
Metabolic acidosis is fairly common in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The prevalence of metabolic acidosis increases with worsening kidney function and is observed in ∼40% of those with stage 4 CKD. For the past 2 decades, clinical practice guidelines have suggested treatment of metabolic acidosis to counterbalance adverse effects of metabolic acidosis on bone and muscle. Studies in animal models of CKD also demonstrated that metabolic acidosis causes kidney fibrosis. During the past decade, results from observational studies identified associations between metabolic acidosis and adverse kidney outcomes, and results from interventional studies support the hypothesis that treating metabolic acidosis with sodium bicarbonate preserves kidney function. However, convincing data from large-scale, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, randomized trials have been lacking. This review discusses findings from recent interventional trials of alkali therapy in CKD and new findings linking metabolic acidosis with cardiovascular disease in adults and CKD progression in children. Finally, a novel agent that treats metabolic acidosis in patients with CKD by binding hydrochloric acid in the gastrointestinal tract is discussed.

Abstract
Protein degradation maintains cellular integrity by regulating virtually all biological processes, whereas impaired proteolysis perturbs protein quality control, and often leads to human disease. Two major proteolytic systems are responsible for protein breakdown in all cells: autophagy, which facilitates the loss of organelles, protein aggregates, and cell surface proteins; and the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS), which promotes degradation of mainly soluble proteins. Recent findings indicate that more complex protein structures, such as filamentous assemblies, which are not accessible to the catalytic core of the proteasome in vitro, can be efficiently degraded by this proteolytic machinery in systemic catabolic states in vivo. Mechanisms that loosen the filamentous structure seem to be activated first, hence increasing the accessibility of protein constituents to the UPS. In this review, we will discuss the mechanisms underlying the disassembly and loss of the intricate insoluble filamentous myofibrils, which are responsible for muscle contraction, and whose degradation by the UPS causes weakness and disability in aging and disease. Several lines of evidence indicate that myofibril breakdown occurs in a strictly ordered and controlled manner, and the function of AAA-ATPases is crucial for their disassembly and loss.

Abstract
Uremic sarcopenia is a frequent condition present in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients and is characterized by reduced muscle mass, muscle strength and physical performance. Uremic sarcopenia is related to an increased risk of hospitalization and all-causes mortality. This pathological condition is caused not only by advanced age but also by others factors typical of CKD patients such as metabolic acidosis, hemodialysis therapy, low-grade inflammatory status and inadequate protein-energy intake. Currently, treatments available to ameliorate uremic sarcopenia include nutritional therapy (oral nutritional supplement, inter/intradialytic parenteral nutrition, enteral nutrition, high protein and fiber diet and percutaneous endoscopic gastrectomy) and a personalized program of physical activity. The aim of this review is to analyze the possible benefits induced by nutritional therapy alone or in combination with a personalized program of physical activity, on onset and/or progression of uremic sarcopenia.

Abstract
Complications of chronic kidney disease-associated mineral and bone disorders (CKD-MBD) are frequently observed in pediatric kidney transplant recipients and are associated with high morbidity, including growth failure, leg deformities, bone pain, fractures, osteonecrosis, and vascular calcification. Post-transplant CKD-MBD is mainly due to preexisting renal osteodystrophy and cardiovascular changes at the time of transplantation, glucocorticoid treatment, and reduced graft function. In addition, persistent elevated levels of parathyroid hormone (PTH) and fibroblast growth factor 23 may cause hypophosphatemia, resulting in impaired bone mineralization. Patient monitoring should include assessment of growth, leg deformities, and serum levels of calcium, phosphate, magnesium, alkaline phosphatase, 25-hydroxyvitamin D, and PTH. Therapy should primarily focus on regular physical activity, preservation of transplant function, and steroid-sparing immunosuppressive protocols. In addition, adequate monitoring and treatment of vitamin D and mineral metabolism including vitamin D supplementation, oral phosphate, and/or magnesium supplementation, in case of persistent hypophosphatemia/hypomagnesemia, and treatment with active vitamin D in cases of persistent secondary hyperparathyroidism. The latter should be done using the minimum PTH-suppressive dosages aiming at the recommended CKD stage-dependent PTH target range. Finally, treatment with recombinant human growth hormone should be considered in patients lacking catch-up growth within the first year after transplantation.

Abstract
Proteasomal degradation provides the crucial machinery for maintaining cellular proteostasis. The biological origins of modulation or impairment of the function of proteasomal complexes may include changes in gene expression of their subunits, ubiquitin mutation, or indirect mechanisms arising from the overall impairment of proteostasis. However, changes in the physico-chemical characteristics of the cellular environment might also meaningfully contribute to altered performance. This review summarizes the effects of physicochemical factors in the cell, such as pH, temperature fluctuations, and reactions with the products of oxidative metabolism, on the function of the proteasome. Furthermore, evidence of the direct interaction of proteasomal complexes with protein aggregates is compared against the knowledge obtained from immobilization biotechnologies. In this regard, factors such as the structures of the natural polymeric scaffolds in the cells, their content of reactive groups or the sequestration of metal ions, and processes at the interface, are discussed here with regard to their influences on proteasomal function.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Metabolic acidosis (MA) is one of the most common consequences of CKD. MA is also a risk factor of CKD progression and increased mortality in these patients. AIM The aim of this retrospective, cross-sectional study was to assess the prevalence of MA in different stages of CKD and renal replacement therapy (RRT) modalities - haemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD). Additionally, the relationship between the prevalence of MA and aetiology of kidney disease was analysed. METHODS One thousand five patients in different stages of CKD, or modalities of RRT were enrolled into this single-centre cross-sectional study. Forty-one patients were ruled out because of oral bicarbonate supplementation. In the remaining 964 patients (698 CKD stages 1-5, 226 HD, 40 PD), venous blood HCO3- concentration, as well as serum Cr and urea concentrations were assessed. MA was diagnosed when blood HCO3- concentration was below 22 mmol/L. RESULTS The prevalence of MA increased among all stages of CKD. Patients on HD had lower prevalence of MA in comparison with CKD 5 patients with no RRT (38.5 vs. 56.0%; p = 0.02) In PD patients, the prevalence of MA was significantly lower than in HD patients (2.5 vs. 38.5%; p < 0.001). In the whole study group, there were no significant differences in the prevalence of MA between different aetiologies of CKD (glomerulonephritis 24%, hypertension 23%, diabetes 25%, and tubule-interstitial diseases 24%). Also, when only patients in stages CKD 3-5 were compared, no significant differences in the prevalence of acidosis were found (glomerulonephritis 28%, hypertension 22%, diabetes 24%, and tubule-interstitial 21%). CONCLUSIONS (1) MA is more frequent in patients with more advanced stages of CKD. (2) RRT reduces the prevalence of MA. (3) In PD patients, MA is rare. (4) Aetiology of CKD seems not to have a significant impact on MA prevalence.

Abstract
Background:
Peripheral muscle dysfunction is one of the major comorbidities seen in
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Focusing more on upper extremity, unsupported elevation of
arms results in a change in the recruitment pattern of the respiratory muscles. Over the years, many
tests were developed to assess the upper limb capacity and include them in various rehabilitation
protocol.
Objective:
To review the evidence on mechanism, tests, and rehabilitation protocol for the upper
limb extremity muscle-dysfunction occurring in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Methods:
PubMed and Google scholar databases were searched. Based on the inclusion criteria’s:-
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Diseases patients, any Randomized Controlled or clinical trials,
systematic reviews, explaining upper limb extremity muscle dysfunction, various tests to assess
upper limb functional capacity and different ways of upper limb extremity training, a total of 15
articles were retrieved.
Results:
The mechanism of upper extremity muscle dysfunction is now well understood. Various
tests were designed in order to assess arm strength, arm endurance and functional capacity. All the
studies which included upper limb extremity training as a part of the rehabilitation program, showed
beneficial results in terms of reduction of dyspnoea and arm fatigue, as well as improving the activity
performing capacity.
Conclusion:
This review concluded that the alteration in the upper limb extremity muscles is an
inevitable consequence of chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, which can be confirmed by
various upper extremity tests, with patients responding positively to the upper limb training
incorporated during pulmonary rehabilitation protocols.

Abstract
Consuming a lower acid (and particularly lower phosphate) diet and/or supplementing the diet with base precursors, such as bicarbonate, might have a number of mitigating effects on the aging process. These include: (1) slowing progression of fibrosis by reduction of high endogenous acid production to preserve net acid excretion and minimize the degree of systemic acidosis; (2) avoiding the downregulation of klotho, a membrane and soluble factor associated with aging. Klotho declines when constant high dietary phosphate intake leads to an increase in FGF23 production; and (3) increasing activity of the enzyme telomerase, an important factor in maintaining telomere length, another factor associated with longer lifespan. Current evidence is based on studies in invertebrate and small animal models. These results, and extrapolations of associated human studies, suggest that low acid-producing diets, or neutralization of the low grade metabolic acidosis seen in humans with age-related renal dysfunction could potentially lead to a longer, healthier lifespan.

Abstract
The term sarcopenia was first introduced in 1988 by Irwin Rosenberg to define a condition of muscle loss that occurs in the elderly. Since then, a broader definition comprising not only loss of muscle mass, but also loss of muscle strength and low physical performance due to ageing or other conditions, was developed and published in consensus papers from geriatric societies. Sarcopenia was proposed to be diagnosed based on operational criteria using two components of muscle abnormalities, low muscle mass and low muscle function. This brought awareness of an important nutritional derangement with adverse outcomes for the overall health. In parallel, many studies in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have shown that sarcopenia is a prevalent condition, mainly among patients with end stage kidney disease (ESKD) on hemodialysis (HD). In CKD, sarcopenia is not necessarily age-related as it occurs as a result of the accelerated protein catabolism from the disease and from the dialysis procedure per se combined with low energy and protein intakes. Observational studies showed that sarcopenia and especially low muscle strength is associated with worse clinical outcomes, including worse quality of life (QoL) and higher hospitalization and mortality rates. This review aims to discuss the differences in conceptual definition of sarcopenia in the elderly and in CKD, as well as to describe etiology of sarcopenia, prevalence, outcome, and interventions that attempted to reverse the loss of muscle mass, strength and mobility in CKD and ESKD patients.

Abstract
RATIONALE & OBJECTIVE Studies showing an association between lower bicarbonate levels and worse kidney disease prognosis have not accounted for the influence of pH. It remains unknown whether this association is consistent across a wide range of blood pH values. This study sought to assess how pH modifies the relationship between hypobicarbonatemia and incident kidney failure requiring kidney replacement therapy (KFRT). STUDY DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. SETTING & PARTICIPANTS 1,058 Japanese patients with estimated glomerular filtration rates<60mL/min/1.73m2. EXPOSURE Baseline venous bicarbonate levels and venous pH. OUTCOME KFRT defined as initiation of kidney replacement therapy (hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, and kidney transplantation). ANALYTICAL APPROACH Cox proportional hazards model assessing the interaction between baseline bicarbonate levels and venous pH on incident KFRT. RESULTS In the lowest bicarbonate quartile (≤21.5 mEq/L), 59% of patients had acidemia (pH<7.32), whereas 38% had venous pH within the normal range and 3% had alkalemia (pH>7.42). During a median follow-up of 3.0 years, 374 patients developed KFRT. Venous pH modified the association between bicarbonate level and rate of KFRT (P for interaction=0.04). After adjustment for potential confounders, including capacity for respiratory compensation, the lowest (vs the highest) bicarbonate quartile was associated with a 2.29-fold (95% CI, 1.10-4.77; P=0.03) higher rate of KFRT among patients with acidemia (pH<7.32). In contrast, among patients without acidemia (pH≥7.32), no significant association was found between bicarbonate level and KFRT. In an exploratory analysis, patients with higher respiratory compensation capacity had a lower rate of KFRT (HR per 0.1 increase in respiratory compensation capacity, 0.90; 95% CI, 0.87-0.94; P<0.001). LIMITATIONS Observational study design; blood gas measurements were performed in a select patient population. CONCLUSIONS Venous pH modified the association of hypobicarbonatemia with progression of chronic kidney disease to KFRT. Measurement of venous pH may be valuable for identifying patients with chronic kidney disease and hypobicarbonatemia and may inform treatment.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) causes glucose and protein metabolism abnormalities that result in muscle wasting, thereby affecting the long-term prognosis of critical illness survivors. Here, we examined whether early intervention with treadmill exercise and branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) can prevent AKI-related muscle wasting and reduced physical performance in mice. Unilateral 15 min ischemia-reperfusion injury was induced in contralateral nephrectomized mice, and muscle histological and physiological changes were assessed and compared with those of pair-fed control mice, since AKI causes severe anorexia. Mice exercised for 30 min each day and received oral BCAA for 7 days after AKI insult. By day 7, ischemic AKI significantly decreased wet weight, myofiber cross-sectional area, and central mitochondrial volume density of the anterior tibialis muscle, and significantly reduced maximal exercise time. Regular exercise and BCAA prevented AKI-related muscle wasting and low physical performance by suppressing myostatin and atrogin-1 mRNA upregulation, and restoring reduced phosphorylated Akt and PGC-1α mRNA expression in the muscle. Ischemic AKI induces muscle wasting by accelerating muscle protein degradation and reducing protein synthesis; however, we found that regular exercise and BCAA prevented AKI-related muscle wasting without worsening kidney damage, suggesting that early rehabilitation with nutritional support could prevent AKI-related muscle wasting.
