AKD Care Redefined: Diabetes, Hypertension, and Strategies for Long-Term Health Traditional acute kidney injury (AKI) classifications, centered around semi-anatomical lines, no longer suffice in capturing the complexity of AKI. Subphenotyping, enriched with AKI biomarkers, holds insights into distinct risk profiles and tailored treatment strategies, redefining AKI and contributing to improved clinical management (Critical Care). Incorporating kidney biomarkers into strategies for early AKI detection and the initiation of AKI care bundles has shown greater effectiveness than using care bundles without these novel biomarkers. Our investigations have made notable advancements in identifying water-soluble regulatory iron hepcidin as a promising early biomarker for predicting postoperative acute kidney injury. Beyond hepcidin, our research extended into the exploration of predictive biomarkers, such as HJV, NGAL, and cFGF-23, uncovering their potential in prognosticating the occurrence and severity of AKI (Cell Death Dis, Antioxidants & redox signaling). The amalgamation of these biomarkers with existing clinical AKI scores holds immense promise in revolutionizing critical care and ushering in a new era of personalized patient management. Moreover, our endeavors have transcended theoretical advancements, with successful patent acquisition for AKI biomarkers attesting to our commitment. We were the inaugural contributors to the discourse on the effects of indoxyl sulfate on the tubulogenesis capability of endothelial progenitor cells and cell aging in acute kidney injury(Angiogenesis). A comprehensive review of the long-term prognosis of acute kidney injury, encompassing impacts on the heart, brain, bone lesions, gastrointestinal, and tissue carcinogenesis, was presented. (JASN, KI, cJASN, JAHA, ICM, CC). Our team posited that transferring post-AKI patients to nephrologists for care could reduce overall mortality and cardiovascular events (Value in Health). Through integrated analysis, we demonstrated that standard dialysis would increase the number of patients avoiding dialysis (CC), stimulating fervent discussions among AKI physicians at international conferences. Notably, we were global trailblazers in proposing that acute kidney disease, regardless of AKI presence, leads to mortality and end-stage kidney disease(eClinicalMedicine ).
Although the evidence for patients with acute kidney disease (AKD) is still lacking, several potential pharmacological agents may improve outcomes, including but not limited to angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers, mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists, sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors, and glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (JAMA NO). In conclusion, accurate prognosis prediction and effective treatment for AKD are critical yet unmet clinical needs. Future studies are urgently needed to improve patient care in this complex and rapidly evolving field.

Special lecture: 2026 KDIGO AKI Guideline UpdateI will be updating the audience on the major conceptual updates of the 2026 KDIGO AKI Guidelines. I will focus on Chapter 1 and 2, including the evolving definition of AKI/AKD, AKI trajectories, biomarkers, and risk prediction, together with selected key updates from Chapter 4 on nephrotoxin-associated kidney injuryTargeting Persistent AKI and Promoting RecoveryI have been working with my co-moderators to develop a case based presentation looking at the use of biomarkers to predict outcomes in a patient with dialysis requiring AKI. and we will be discussing the intracicies of providing AKI-care to those receiving dialysis and how best to wean patients from dialysis and the long term outpatient managment of these patients
