Acute Kidney Injury: Understanding

Acute Kidney Injury: Overview

Acute kidney injury (AKI), also known as acute renal failure (ARF), is a sudden episode of kidney failure or kidney damage that happens within a few hours or a few days. AKI causes a build-up of waste products in blood and makes it hard for kidneys to keep the right balance of fluid in body. AKI can also affect other organs such as the brain, heart, and lungs. Acute kidney injury is common in patients who are in the hospital, in intensive care units, and especially in older adults. There are rarely any symptoms until the condition has progressed to a late stage. However, if there are symptoms, the most common one is a decrease in urine output. Doctors diagnose acute kidney injury by measuring the level of creatinine in the blood. (Creatinine is a chemical waste product removed by the body entirely by the kidneys. If the kidneys are not working properly, there will be an increase in levels in the blood).

Common risk factors include diseases that affects blood flow to the kidneys or causes kidney damage such as chronic kidney disease, impaired left ventricular systolic function, advanced age (over 75 years old), diabetes, and dehydration. Other risk factors include time spent in a heart-lung machine, use of an intra-aortic balloon pump, the need for blood transfusions and hemodilution.

 

Acute kidney failure can occur when the patient have a condition that slows blood flow to kidneys and the experience direct damage to kidneys. The kidneys' urine drainage tubes (ureters) become blocked and wastes can't leave body through urine.

If the signs and symptoms suggest that have acute kidney failure, doctor may recommend certain tests and procedures to verify diagnosis. These may include urine output measurements, urine tests, blood tests, imaging tests and removing a sample of kidney tissue for testing. Treating AKI depends on the underlying cause of the condition. If it is caused by medications, the doctor may ask to stop taking that specific medication. If it’s caused by an infection, the doctor may look for ways to treat the infection.

Acute Kidney Injury Emerging Drugs Chapters

This segment of the Acute Kidney Injury report encloses its detailed analysis of various drugs in different stages of clinical development, including phase II, I, preclinical and Discovery. It also helps to understand clinical trial details, expressive pharmacological action, agreements and collaborations, and the latest news and press releases.

 

Acute Kidney Injury Emerging Drugs

• Ilofotase alfa: AM-Pharma Holding

Ilofotase alfa is a proprietary recombinant alkaline phosphatase, constructed from two human isoforms of alkaline phosphatase that has been shown to be stable and highly active in multiple clinical trials. The recombinant enzyme displays exquisite activity towards dephosphorylating and detoxifying damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) and pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) such as lipopolysaccharide (LPS), ATP, ADP and other extracellular substrates that drive acute inflammation, coagulation and microvascular ischemia found in kidney following sepsis or ischemia-induced damage. Currently, the drug is in Phase III stage of its development for the treatment of acute kidney injury.

 

• RMC-035: Guard Therapeutics AB

Guard Therapeutics is developing RMC-035 (ROSgard), a biological drug candidate that utilizes one of the body's most powerful and universal protections against oxidative stress. RMC-035 is naturally designed to ""target"" the kidneys, allowing RMC-035 to be present when the kidneys are attacked by oxidative stress. Treatment with RMC-035 has the potential to save lives and prevent the risk of both acute and chronic kidney damage with subsequent serious consequences due to impaired kidney function, such as life-sustaining dialysis treatment. Currently, it is in Phase II stage of clinical trial evaluation to treat Acute Kidney Injury.

 

• KELI-101: Kelifarma

KELI‑101 is an allogeneic placental mesenchymal stromal cell therapy under development by UAB Kelifarma (also referred to as Keli Therapeutics) for the preemptive treatment of acute kidney injury (AKI) following cardiac surgery. It harnesses placenta-derived mesenchymal cells to modulate inflammation, enhance tissue repair, and protect renal structure and function. The program is now in a Phase Ib/II clinical trial (NCT06678399), scheduled to begin around April 2025 and complete primary evaluation by October 2026. Early preclinical studies have shown improvements in survival, diuresis, biochemical markers, and prevention of structural kidney damage in animal models. Currently, it is in Phase I/II stage of clinical trial evaluation to treat Acute Kidney Injury.
