Frequent Finding

Anemia is considered a common finding in dogs with chronic kidney disease (CKD), typically as normochromic, normocytic, and non-regenerative. Although anemia can occur at any CKD IRIS (International Renal Interest Society) stage, its severity is related with the loss of kidney function. The aim of the present study was to retrospectively evaluate quantitative and morphological abnormalities of the erythrogram in dogs at different CKD IRIS stages. A total of 482 CBCs from 3648 initially screened were included in the study. Anemia was present in 302/482 (63%) dogs, in the majority of which it was normochromic, normocytic, and non-regenerative (295/302; 98%). The number of reticulocytes was <60,000/μL in the majority of dogs (248/295; 84%), with a correlation between poor regeneration rate and progression of CKD (p = 0.0001). The frequency of anemia significantly differed (p = 0.0001) among the IRIS stages: 108/231 (47%) in IRIS 2, 77/109 (71%) in IRIS 3, and 117/142 (82%) in IRIS 4. Dogs at IRIS stages 3 and 4 were more likely to have moderate to severe anemia, compared to dogs at IRIS stage 2 (p = 0.0001). Anisocytosis was the most frequent morphological abnormality (291/482; 60%), whereas the presence of poikilocytosis showed an association with progression of IRIS stages (p = 0.009). Among different morphological abnormalities, the frequency of fragmented red blood cells and Howell–Jolly bodies showed a significant association with the progression of CKD. Anemia was a frequent finding in CKD dogs, mostly associated with none to poor regeneration rate. Similar to human medicine, advanced CKD stages are more frequently characterized by morphological alterations, such as fragmented red blood cells and Howell–Jolly bodies, which may suggest a more severe condition of reduced bone marrow activity and microangiopathy.

Objectives - Cardiorenal syndrome type 4 is characterized by primary chronic kidney disease (CKD) leading to an impairment of cardiac function. We recently showed a reduced expression of several cardiac mitochondrial genes in short-term CKD rat model. We aimed to evaluate whether cardiac mitochondrial structure and function is modified in long-term CKD and if so, to characterize the potential associated mechanisms. Methods - Lewis rats underwent 5/6 nephrectomy for induction of CKD. Upon necroscopy, eight months later, cardiac sections were analyzed by histology and electron microscopy (EM). Mitochondrial DNA content was determined by the mitochondrial gene, cytochrome B. Mitochondrial content was assessed by citrate synthase (CS) activity in tissue homogenate and respiratory chain function was determined by the activity of complexes I-IV in isolated mitochondria. The levels of PGC1a, a transcription factor for mitochondrial biogenesis, Angiotensin II type 1 receptor and cytosolic cytochrome C were assayed by western blot. Cytokine serum profile was determined by microarray. Results - Long-term CKD leads to cardiac hypertrophy and increased interstitial fibrosis. EM analysis revealed a massive spatial disarrangement accompanied by a considerably increased volume of swollen-damaged mitochondria in CKD hearts (32±3%, n=5, 48±6%, n=4; respectively; p<0.05). Total mitochondrial DNA content was decreased in cardiac tissue of CKD rats. Concomitantly, active mitochondrial content was significantly reduced. Conversely, no differences were observed in respiratory chain enzymes’ functions (complexes I-IV) in isolated active mitochondria. Moreover, inflammatory response and activation of Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone-System (RAAS) were detected in the CKD setting. Conclusion - CKD results in a marked reduction of active mitochondria in the heart. Inflammatory cytokines and RAAS, may set a deleterious environment to cardiac mitochondria, as suggested in non-CKD models. The data may represent a significant milestone in the personalized medicine strategy for treating CKD patients who present with normal cardiac function accompanied by positive biomarkers for cardiac mitochondria damage.

The aim of the present study is to investigate the prevalence of ten described mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations in patients with type 2 diabetes, and search for new mutations in four mtDNA genes in a subgroup of patients with characteristics of maternally inherited diabetes and deafness (MIDD). These mutations were investigated in 407 type 2 diabetic patients without characteristics of mitochondrial diabetes ("classical" type 2 diabetes group) and in 38 type 2 diabetic patients with characteristics suggestive of MIDD. Through sequencing of four mtDNA genes in MIDD patients, we selected five others potentially pathogenic mutations that were also screened in the remaining patients. Overall, the frequency of the fifteen analyzed mutations was 36.84% in the MIDD group and 2.45% in the "classical" type 2 diabetes group (p < 0.001). In conclusion, our study reinforces the importance of mtDNA mutations in the pathogenesis of MIDD.
