Abstract
The objective was to provide a comprehensive summary of existing evidence on the efficacy and safety of hypoxia-inducible factor-prolyl hydroxylase inhibitors (HIF-PHIs) for the treatment of anemia in chronic kidney disease (CKD). A systematic search was conducted in the Medline, Embase, and Cochrane databases. Only meta-analyses that evaluated the efficacy and safety of HIF-PHI treatment for anemia in CKD were included. The efficacy outcomes included hemoglobin levels and iron metabolism indices, while the safety outcomes were assessed by examining adverse events. The qualities of methodologies and evidence were assessed using the AMSTAR 2 system and the NutriGrade tool, respectively. Fourteen meta-analyses, comprising 105 distinct comparisons, were included. The comparisons were backed by evidence of high, moderate, and low levels, distributed in approximately equal proportions. None of the studies were deemed to possess a high level of confidence. In both the overall and individual treatment groups of HIF-PHI, there was an increase in the levels of hemoglobin, transferrin, and transferrin saturation, while the levels of hepcidin and total iron binding capacity decreased. Serum ferritin exhibited a reduction to some extent, while serum iron did not show significant alterations following HIF-PHI treatments. There were no notable disparities in safety outcomes between the HIF-PHI and erythropoietin stimulating agents or placebo groups. This umbrella review suggests that HIF-PHI treatment can effectively increase hemoglobin levels in CKD patients and enhance iron metabolism by decreasing hepcidin levels and improving iron transport. The safety profiles of HIF-PHIs were generally comparable to those of ESA therapies or placebos.

Abstract
Anemia is one of the common complications in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. Erythropoietin and iron deficiencies are the major causes to develop anemia in CKD patients. Untreated anemia is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Erythropoietin-stimulating agents (ESA) with iron supplementation are the standard for treating renal anemia. Although ESA with iron supplementation is an effective therapy in maintaining serum hemoglobin (Hb) levels, it increases the risk of several life-threatening adverse events such as hypertension, thromboembolism, cardiovascular morbidity, and mortality with long-term use. Therefore, effective alternate therapy with better safety and efficacy is needed to treat renal anemia. The newer oral therapy hypoxia-inducible factor-prolyl-hydroxylase inhibitors (HIF-PHI) can potentially be an effective alternative therapy in treating renal anemia. This review article compares the safety and efficacy between HIF-PHI and ESA in treating anemia in CKD patients. We conducted a comprehensive literature review of articles, including clinical trials, meta-analyses, and reviews, that compared the safety and efficacy between HIF-PHI and ESA. Studies have shown that the newer oral therapy, HIF-PHI, was non-inferior to ESA to maintain serum Hb levels in CKD patients. Moreover, the adverse event profile was almost similar in both groups. However, as the studies we reviewed have small sample sizes and short duration periods, the long-term effectiveness and safety of HIF-PHI over ESA in treating renal anemia cannot be established.

Abstract
Aim: We performed a systematic review and network meta-analysis evaluating the safety and efficacy of hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl hydroxylase inhibitors (HIF-PHIs) among dialysis chronic kidney disease patients. Methods: Safety was evaluated with any adverse events (AEs), serious adverse events (SAEs), and 12 common events. Efficacy was mainly analyzed with hemoglobin response. All reported results were summarized using mean difference and risk ratio (RR) with 95% confidence interval (CI). Publication bias was assessed through funnel plots. Results: Twenty trials (19 studies) with 14,947 participants were included, comparing six HIF-PHIs with erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs). No significant differences were indicated in overall AEs and SAEs between each HIF-PHI and ESA. The occurrence of gastrointestinal disorder was higher in enarodustat and roxadustat than in ESAs (RR: 6.92, 95% CI: 1.52-31.40, p = 0.01; RR: 1.30, 95% CI: 1.04-1.61, p = 0.02). The occurrence of hypertension was lower in vadadustat than in ESAs (RR: 0.81, 95% CI: 0.69-0.96, p = 0.01). The occurrence of vascular-access complications was higher in roxadustat (RR: 1.15, 95% CI: 1.04-1.27, p<0.01) and lower in daprodustat (RR: 0.78, 95% CI: 0.66-0.92, p<0.01) than in ESAs. In the risk of the other nine events, including cardiovascular events, no significant differences were observed between HIF-PHIs and ESAs. For hemoglobin response, network meta-analysis showed that compared with ESAs, significant increases were shown in roxadustat (RR: 1.04, 95% CI: 1.01-1.07, p<0.01) and desidustat (RR: 1.22, 95% CI: 1.01-1.48, p = 0.04), whereas noticeable reductions were indicated in vadadustat (RR: 0.88, 95% CI: 0.82-0.94, p<0.01) and molidustat (RR: 0.83, 95% CI: 0.70-0.98, p = 0.02). There was no significant difference between daprodustat and ESAs (RR: 0.97, 95% CI: 0.89-1.06, p = 0.47). Conclusion: Although HIF-PHIs did not show significant differences from ESAs in terms of overall AEs and SAEs, statistical differences in gastrointestinal disorder, hypertension, and vascular-access complications were observed between HIF-PHIs, which deserved to be noted in clinical decision making. Systematic review registration: This study is registered with PROSPERO (registration number CRD42022312252).

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Oxygen is critical for the high output of energy (adenosine triphosphate) generated by oxidative phosphorylation in the mitochondria, and when oxygen delivery is impaired due to systemic hypoxia, impaired or reduced delivery of red blood cells, or from local ischemia, survival processes are activated. RECENT FINDINGS One major mechanism is the activation of hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs) that act to reduce oxygen needs by blocking mitochondrial function and stimulating glucose uptake and glycolysis while also stimulating red blood cell production and local angiogenesis. Recently, endogenous fructose production with uric acid generation has also been shown to occur in hypoxic and ischemic tissues where it also appears to drive the same functions, and indeed, there is evidence that many of hypoxia-inducible factors effects may be mediated by the stimulation of fructose production and metabolism. Unfortunately, while being acutely protective, these same systems in overdrive lead to chronic inflammation and disease and may also be involved in the development of metabolic syndrome and related disease. The benefit of SGLT2 inhibitors may act in part by reducing the delivery of glucose with the stimulation of fructose formation, thereby allowing a conversion from the glycolytic metabolism to one involving mitochondrial metabolism. The use of hypoxia-inducible factor stabilizers is expected to aid the treatment of anemia but, in the long-term, could potentially lead to worsening cardiovascular and metabolic outcomes. We suggest more studies are needed on the use of these agents.

Abstract
Background and aims Hepcidin-25 is an iron regulatory factor that plays an important role in anemia in patients with chronic kidney disease. Although liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectroscopy (LC-MS/MS) is the gold standard for measuring hepcidin-25 concentrations, results cannot be obtained immediately at clinical sites. In contrast, the latex immunoassay (LIA) can be performed using general clinical laboratory equipment, and the results can be obtained quickly. The aim of this study was to evaluate hepcidin-25 concentrations obtained by LC-MS/MS and a novel LIA method and compare the two methods. Materials and methods Hepcidin-25 was measured by LIA and LC-MS/MS in 182 hemodialysis patients. A hepcidin-25-specific reagent and an automatic analyzer were used for LIA, and a commercially available system was used for LC-MS/MS. The Passing-Bablok regression analysis method was used. Results On Passing-Bablok regression analysis, the slope was 1.000, with an intercept of 0.359. Very strong associations were obtained, and the measured values were almost identical. Conclusion The hepcidin-25 concentrations measured using LIA and those measured by LC-MS/MS were significantly correlated. LIA can be performed using general clinical examination equipment and has a higher throughput than LC-MS/MS. Therefore, measurement of hepcidin-25 concentrations by LIA can be useful for routine laboratory testing.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the effects of five hypoxia-inducible factor-prolyl hydroxylase domain inhibitors (HIF-PHIs), two erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs), and placebo on iron metabolism in renal anemia patients with non-dialysis-dependent chronic kidney disease (NDD-CKD). METHOD Five electronic databases were searched for studies. Randomized controlled clinical trials comparing HIF-PHIs, ESAs, and placebo in NDD-CKD patients were selected. The statistical program used for network meta-analysis was Stata/SE 15.1. The main outcomes were the change in hepcidin and hemoglobin (Hb) levels. The merits of intervention measures were predicted by the surface under the cumulative ranking curve method. RESULTS Of 1,589 original titles screened, data were extracted from 15 trials (3,228 participants). All HIF-PHIs and ESAs showed greater Hb level-raising ability than placebo. Among them, desidustat demonstrated the highest probability of increasing Hb (95.6%). Hepcidin [mean deviation (MD) = -43.42, 95%CI: -47.08 to -39.76], ferritin (MD= -48.56, 95%CI: -55.21 to -41.96), and transferrin saturation (MD = -4.73, 95%CI: -5.52 to -3.94) were decreased, while transferrin (MD = 0.09, 95%CI: 0.01 to 0.18) and total iron-binding capacity (MD = 6.34, 95%CI: 5.71 to 6.96) was increased in HIF-PHIs versus those in ESAs. In addition, this study observed heterogeneity in the ability of HIF-PHIs to decrease hepcidin. Compared with darbepoetin, only daprodustat (MD = -49.09, 95% CI: -98.13 to -0.05) could significantly reduce hepcidin levels. Meanwhile, daprodustat also showed the highest hepcidin-lowering efficacy (84.0%), while placebo was the lowest (8.2%). CONCLUSION For NDD-CKD patients, HIF-PHIs could ameliorate functional iron deficiency by promoting iron transport and utilization, which may be achieved by decreasing hepcidin levels. Interestingly, HIF-PHIs had heterogeneous effects on iron metabolism. SYSTEMATIC REVIEW REGISTRATION https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/display_record.php?RecordID=242777, Identifier CRD42021242777.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE With the rising prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and the increasing demand for joint arthroplasty, the management of CKD patients in the perioperative period of joint arthroplasty has become an issue worthy of attention for orthopedic surgeons. This study aimed to explore comprehensive perioperative period management strategies for CKD patients. METHODS From March 2017 to August 2022, 62 patients who underwent joint arthroplasty in our hospital were included in a retrospective study, including 31 CKD patients (mean age 69.8 ± 13.4 years old) and 31 non-CKD patients (mean age 69.4 ± 14.2 years old). The outcome indicators were analyzed, including serum urea, serum creatinine, blood uric acid, hematocrit, and hemoglobin. RESULTS All patients included in the retrospective study had an average preoperative preparation time of 4.3 ± 2.6 days and an average hospitalization time of 11.0 ± 7.3 days. There were no significant differences in the changes in the serum urea values between the preoperative and postoperative measurements in the CKD patients or in the serum creatinine values and blood uric acid values (P > 0.05). The hemoglobin value in postoperative measurements was lower than in preoperative measurements in the CKD patients (P < 0.05). The hematocrit value in postoperative measurements was lower than in preoperative measurements in the CKD patients (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION Patients with CKD have distinct characteristics compared to non-CKD patients, and they generally have a higher risk for postoperative complications and adverse events. Recognition of risk factors, suitable timing of surgery, the undertaking of protective strategies, and proper management of complications are vital for managing CKD patients in the perioperative period of joint arthroplasty.

Abstract
Significance: The disturbance of the hypoxia response system is closely related to human diseases, because it is essential for the maintenance of homeostasis. Given the significant role of the hypoxia response system in human health, therapeutic applications targeting prolyl hydroxylase-hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) signaling have been attempted. Thus, systemically reviewing the hypoxia response-based therapeutic strategies is of great significance. Recent Advances: Disturbance of the hypoxia response is a characteristic feature of various diseases. Targeting the hypoxia response system is, thus, a promising therapeutic strategy. Interestingly, several compounds and drugs are currently under clinical trials, and some have already been approved for use in the treatment of certain human diseases. Critical Issues: We summarize the molecular mechanisms of the hypoxia response system and address the potential therapeutic implications in kidney diseases. Given that the effects of hypoxia response in kidney diseases are likely to depend on the pathological context, specific cell types, and the differences in the activation pattern of HIF isoforms, the precise application is critical for the treatment of kidney diseases. Although HIF-PHIs (HIF-PHD inhibitors) have been proven to be effective and well tolerated in chronic kidney disease patients with anemia, the potential on-target consequence of HIF activation and some outstanding questions warrant further consideration. Future Direction: The mechanism of the hypoxia response system disturbance remains unclear. Elucidation of the molecular mechanism of hypoxia response and its precise effects on kidney diseases warrants clarification. Considering the complexity of the hypoxia response system and multiple biological processes controlled by HIF signaling, the development of more specific inhibitors is highly warranted. Antioxid.

Abstract
Actively dividing cells, including some cancers, rely on aerobic glycolysis rather than oxidative phosphorylation to generate energy, a phenomenon termed the Warburg effect. Constitutive activation of the Hypoxia Inducible Factor (HIF-1), a transcription factor known for mediating an adaptive response to oxygen deprivation (hypoxia), is a hallmark of the Warburg effect. HIF-1 is thought to promote glycolysis and suppress oxidative phosphorylation. Here, we instead show that HIF-1 can promote gluconeogenesis. Using a multiomics approach, we reveal the genomic, transcriptomic, and metabolomic landscapes regulated by constitutively active HIF-1 in C. elegans. We use RNA-seq and ChIP-seq under aerobic conditions to analyze mutants lacking EGL-9, a key negative regulator of HIF-1. We integrate these approaches to identify over two hundred genes directly and functionally upregulated by HIF-1, including the PEP carboxykinase PCK-1, a rate-limiting mediator of gluconeogenesis. This activation of PCK-1 by HIF-1 promotes survival in response to both oxidative and hypoxic stress. Our work identifies functional direct targets of HIF-1 in vivo, comprehensively describing the metabolome induced by HIF-1 activation in an organism.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anaemia occurs in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and is more prevalent with lower levels of kidney function. Anaemia in CKD is associated with death related to cardiovascular (CV) disease and infection. Established treatments include erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs), iron supplementation and blood transfusions. Oral hypoxia-inducible factors (HIF) stabilisers are now available to manage anaemia in people with CKD. OBJECTIVES We aimed to assess the benefits and potential harms of HIF stabilisers for the management of anaemia in people with CKD. SEARCH METHODS We searched the Cochrane Kidney and Transplant Register of Studies up to 22 November 2021 through contact with the Information Specialist using search terms relevant to our review. Studies in the Register are identified through searches of CENTRAL, MEDLINE, EMBASE, conference proceedings, the International Clinical Trials Register (ICTRP) Search Portal, and ClinicalTrials.gov. SELECTION CRITERIA Randomised and quasi-randomised studies evaluating hypoxia-inducible factors stabilisers compared to placebo, standard care, ESAs or iron supplementation in people with CKD were included. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Five authors independently extracted data and assessed the risk of bias. Treatment estimates were summarised using random effects pair-wise meta-analysis and expressed as a relative risk (RR) or mean difference (MD), with a corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI). Evidence certainty was assessed using GRADE. MAIN RESULTS We included 51 studies randomising 30,994 adults. These studies compared HIF stabilisers to either placebo or an ESA. Compared to placebo, HIF stabiliser therapy had uncertain effects on CV death (10 studies, 1114 participants): RR 3.68, 95% CI 0.19 to 70.21; very low certainty evidence), and nonfatal myocardial infarction (MI) (3 studies, 822 participants): RR 1.29, 95% CI 0.31 to 5.36; I² = 0%; very low certainty evidence), probably decreases the proportion of patients requiring blood transfusion (8 studies, 4329 participants): RR 0.51, 95% CI 0.44 to 0.60; I² = 0%; moderate certainty evidence), and increases the proportion of patients reaching the target haemoglobin (Hb) (10 studies, 5102 participants): RR 8.36, 95% CI 6.42 to 10.89; I² = 37%; moderate certainty evidence). Compared to ESAs, HIF stabiliser therapy may make little or no difference to CV death (17 studies, 10,340 participants): RR 1.05, 95% CI 0.88 to 1.26; I² = 0%; low certainty evidence), nonfatal MI (7 studies, 7765 participants): RR 0.91, 95% CI 0.76 to 1.10; I² = 0%; low certainty evidence), and nonfatal stroke (5 studies, 7285 participants): RR 1.06, 95% CI 0.71 to 1.56; I² = 8%; low certainty evidence), and had uncertain effects on fatigue (2 studies, 3471 participants): RR 0.80, 95% CI 0.56 to 1.16; I² = 0%; very low certainty evidence). HIF stabiliser therapy probably decreased the proportion of patients requiring blood transfusion (11 studies, 10,786 participants): RR 0.87, 95% CI 0.76 to 1.00; I² = 25%; moderate certainty evidence), but may make little or no difference on the proportion of patients reaching the target Hb (14 studies, 4601 participants): RR 1.00, 95% CI 0.93 to 1.07; I² = 70%; low certainty evidence), compared to ESA. The effect of HIF stabilisers on hospitalisation for heart failure, peripheral arterial events, loss of unassisted dialysis vascular access patency, access intervention, cancer, infection, pulmonary hypertension and diabetic nephropathy was uncertain. None of the included studies reported life participation. Adverse events were rarely and inconsistently reported. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS HIF stabiliser management of anaemia had uncertain effects on CV death, fatigue, death (any cause), CV outcomes, and kidney failure compared to placebo or ESAs. Compared to placebo or ESAs, HIF stabiliser management of anaemia probably decreased the proportion of patients requiring blood transfusions, and probably increased the proportion of patients reaching the target Hb when compared to placebo.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Preoperative anaemia is associated with poor postoperative outcomes and is the strongest predictor of allogenic blood transfusion, which contributes further to patient morbidity. Emphasis has been placed on correcting anaemia prior to surgery to mitigate these outcomes. Conflicting evidence exists regarding the benefit of currently recommended interventions. With greater understanding of iron haemostasis and erythropoiesis, novel therapies have been identified. These are at varying stages of development with some demonstrating promising results in patients with chronic kidney disease. It is not known how these agents have been studied outside this population, particularly in the perioperative context. To address this, we will conduct a scoping review of the published literature to chart the evidence. METHODS AND ANALYSIS The scoping review will be reported according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews framework. The electronic database search will include Scopus, MEDLINE (Ovid) and Excerpta Medica database (Ovid), with no language restrictions, and will include all publications since 1 January 2010. This review will have three objectives: (1) to describe the mechanisms of action for novel agents, (2) to describe the level of evidence and stage of development of novel agents in a perioperative setting, and (3) to determine the potential agents suitable for prospective controlled trials in a preoperative or postoperative patient cohort and aiming to improve patient-centred outcomes. The review process will involve two reviewers with a third reviewer resolving disagreements. Data will be extracted and organised with subsequent analysis. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION This scoping review does not require research ethics approval. The results will be published in a peer-reviewed journal and inform the development of future prospective trials based on established evidence from potential therapeutic agents. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER This protocol has been registered prospectively on the Open Science Framework registry (DOI:10.17605/OSF.IO/SM3UH, https://osf.io/sm3uh/?view_only=39876ccf7a4348dfbd566535b957a7db).Cite Now.

Abstract
Tubular injury and peripheral fibroblast activation are the hallmarks of chronic kidney disease (CKD), suggesting intimate communication between the two types of cells. However, the underlying mechanisms remain to be determined. Exosomes play a role in shuttling proteins and other materials to recipient cells. In our study, we found that exosomes were aroused by β‐catenin in renal tubular cells. Osteopontin (OPN), especially its N‐terminal fragment (N‐OPN), was encapsulated in β‐catenin‐controlled tubular cell‐derived exosome cargo, and subsequently passed to fibroblasts. Through binding with CD44, exosomal OPN promoted fibroblast proliferation and activation. Gene deletion of β‐catenin in tubular cells (Ksp‐β‐catenin−/−) or gene ablation of CD44 (CD44−/−) greatly ameliorated renal fibrosis. Notably, N‐OPN was carried by exosome and secreted into the urine of patients with CKD, and negatively correlated with kidney function. The urinary exosomes from patients with CKD greatly accelerated renal fibrosis, which was blocked by CD44 deletion. These results suggest that exosome‐mediated activation of the OPN/CD44 axis plays a key role in renal fibrosis, which is controlled by β‐catenin.

Abstract
Introduction: Daprodustat, a novel hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl-hydroxylase inhibitor (HIF-PHI), its efficacy and safety remain unclear. Thus, we conducted this meta-analysis aiming at investigating its efficacy and safety on the treatment of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD)-related anemia. Methods: We systematically searched for relevant studies in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library and Clinical Trial Registries databases from inception until December 2021. We selected randomized controlled trials comparing daprodustat with recombinant human erythropoietin (rhEPO) in anemia patients with CKD with or without dialysis. Results: Seven studies including 7933 patients met the inclusion criteria. For both nondialysis-dependent (NDD-) CKD and dialysis-dependent (DD-) CKD patients, the pooled results showed that there was no significant difference in the changes in hemoglobin levels between the daprodustat and rhEPO groups (mean difference (MD) = −0.01, 95% confidence interval (CI) = −0.38, 0.35, p = 0.95; MD = 0.15, 95% CI = −0.29, 0.60, p = 0.50; respectively). In addition, a significant increase in transferrin saturation (TSAT), total iron binding capacity (TIBC) and total iron was observed in daprodustat groups compared with rhEPO groups in DD-CKD patients (p < 0.05). As for safety, the overall frequency of adverse events was similar between the daprodustat and rhEPO groups in DD-CKD patients (relative risk (RR) = 0.99, 95%CI = 0.92, 1.06, p = 0.76), and the trial sequential analysis (TSA) confirmed this result. But for NDD-CKD patients, the incidence of adverse events in the daprodustat groups was significantly higher than that of rhEPO groups (RR = 1.04, 95%CI = 1.01,1.07, p = 0.02), while the TSA corrected this result. No trend of increasing incidence of serious adverse events was found in all daprodustat treated patients, but the TSA could not confirm this result. Conclusion: Although daprodustat was noninferior to rhEPO in correcting anemia in both NDD-CKD and DD-CKD patients, it seemed to have a better effect on optimizing iron metabolism in DD-CKD patients. Daprodustat may be a promising alternative for the treatment of anemia in patients with CKD. However, due to the lack of included studies, future researches are needed to further evaluate the therapeutic effect of daprodustat.

Abstract
Background: Vadadustat is a novel drug for treating anemia patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), but its effect and safety remain uncertain. This study aimed to summarize the evidence for vadadustat in the treatment of CKD patients with anemia.Methods: PubMed, Ovid Medline, Embase, Cochrane CENTRAL, Wanfang Data, China National Knowledge Infrastructure and an international trial register were searched from their inception to June 2021 for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing the efficacy and safety of vadadustat to those of placebo or erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs) in treating anemia in CKD patients. Data were pooled in a meta-analysis, with results expressed as the mean difference for continuous outcomes and relative risk for categorical outcomes with 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs). The certainty of evidence was rated according to Cochrane methods and the GRADE approach.Results: Ten RCTs comparing vadadustat with placebo (4 RCTs) or darbepoetin alfa (6 RCTs) were included (n = 8,438 participants). Compared with placebo, vadadustat increased the hemoglobin (Hb) response rate (risk ratio 5.27; 95% CI: 2.69 to 10.31; p < 0.001; high certainty of evidence) and Hb level from baseline (∆Hb) (mean difference (MD) 1.28; 95% CI: 0.83 to 1.73; p < 0.001; low certainty of evidence). Compared with placebo or darbepoetin alfa, vadadustat decreased hepcidin (MD -36.62; 95% CI: −54.95 to −18.30; p < 0.001) and ferritin (MD −56.24; 95% CI: −77.37 to −35.11; p < 0.001) levels and increased iron-binding capacity (MD 24.38; 95% CI: 13.69 to 35.07; p < 0.001), with a low to moderate certainty of evidence. Moderate to high certainty evidence suggested that compared with placebo or darbepoetin alfa, vadadustat significantly increased the risk of nausea and diarrhea but did not significantly increase the risk of serious adverse events, especially all-cause mortality, cardiac events and nonfatal stroke.Conclusion: Vadadustat may safely improve Hb levels and promote iron utilization in CKD patients with anemia without increasing the incidence of serious adverse events.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is one of the fastest-growing major causes of death internationally. Better treatment of CKD and its complications is crucial to reverse this negative trend. Anemia is a frequent complication of CKD and is associated with unfavorable clinical outcomes. It is a devastating complication of progressive kidney disease, that negatively affects also the quality of life. The prevalence of anemia increases in parallel with CKD progression. The aim of this review is to summarize the current knowledge on therapy of renal anemia. Iron therapy, blood transfusions, and erythropoietin stimulating agents are still the mainstay of renal anemia treatment. There are several novel agents on the horizon that might provide therapeutic opportunities in CKD. The potential therapeutic options target the hepcidin–ferroportin axis, which is the master regulator of iron homeostasis, and the BMP-SMAD pathway, which regulates hepcidin expression in the liver. An inhibition of prolyl hydroxylase is a new therapeutic option becoming available for the treatment of anemia in CKD patients. This new class of drugs stimulates the synthesis of endogenous erythropoietin and increases iron availability. We also summarized the effects of prolyl hydroxylase inhibitors on iron parameters, including hepcidin, as their action on the hematological parameters. They could be of particular interest in the out-patient population with CKD and patients with ESA hyporesponsiveness. However, current knowledge is limited and still awaits clinical validation. One should be aware of the potential risks and benefits of novel, sophisticated therapies.

Abstract
WHAT IS KNOWN AND OBJECTIVE Previous studies based on small-sample clinical data proved that short-term use of hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl hydroxylase (HIF-PHD) inhibitors increased haemoglobin levels in anaemic patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, these studies reached conflicting conclusions on iron parameters and adverse event profiles. Our meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of HIF-PHD inhibitors in renal anaemia. METHODS Randomized controlled trials comparing treatment with HIF-PHD inhibitors versus placebo or erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs) were thoroughly searched in the PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library and international clinical trial registries. Meta-analysis was performed on main outcomes with random effects models. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION A total of 30 studies comprising 13,146 patients were included. The HIF-PHD inhibitors used included roxadustat, daprodustat, vadadustat, molidustat, desidustat and enarodustat. HIF-PHD inhibitors significantly increased haemoglobin levels in comparison with placebo [weighted mean difference (WMD) 1.53, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.39 to 1.67] or ESAs (WMD 0.13, 95% CI 0.03 to 0.22). Hepcidin, ferritin and serum iron levels were decreased, while total iron binding capacity and transferrin levels were increased in the HIF-PHD inhibitor group versus those in placebo or ESAs group. Additionally, HIF-PHD inhibitors medication was associated with cholesterol-lowering effects. As for safety, the risk of serious adverse events in the HIF-PHD inhibitor group was increased in comparison with placebo group [risk ratio (RR) 1.07, 95% CI 1.01 to 1.13], but comparable to the ESAs group (RR 1.02, 95% CI 0.94 to 1.10). Compared with placebo, the agents increased the risk of diarrhoea (1.21, 1.00 to 1.47), nausea (1.46, 1.09 to 1.97), oedema peripheral (1.32, 1.01 to 1.59), hyperkalemia (1.27, 1.05 to 1.54) and hypertension (1.34, 1.02 to 1.76). Compared with ESAs, the drugs increased the risk of vomiting (1.30, 1.02 to 1.65), headache (1.27, 1.05 to 1.53) and thrombosis events (1.31, 1.05 to 1.63). WHAT IS NEW AND CONCLUSION HIF-PHD inhibitors treatment effectively increased haemoglobin levels and promoted iron utilization in anaemic patients with CKD, and they were well tolerated for long-term use. In order to avoid unfavourable effects of excessive iron consumption, it was appropriate to administer HIF-PHD inhibitors in combination with iron supplements for long-term treatment.
