Exploring therapeutic mechanisms of Chuan Huang Fang-II in the treatment of acute kidney injury on chronic kidney disease patients from the perspective of lipidomics
Objective This study aims to assess the clinical efficacy and safety of CHF-II in combination with RG for treating AKI on CKD (A on C), and to explore potential therapeutic mechanisms through lipidomics analysis.Methods 98 patients were enrolled and randomly assigned to the RG or RG + CHF groups.

| Summary: | Objective This study aims to assess the clinical efficacy and safety of CHF-II in combination with RG for treating AKI on CKD (A on C), and to explore potential therapeutic mechanisms through lipidomics analysis.Methods 98 patients were enrolled and randomly assigned to the RG or RG + CHF groups. Both groups received RG therapy, with RG + CHF group additionally receiving CHF-II treatment over a duration of two weeks. Evaluation endpoints included changes in renal function, blood lipid profiles, urinary AKI biomarkers, and TCM symptoms before and after treatment. Serum samples were collected for lipid metabolite analysis.Results The total clinical effective rate in RG + CHF group was 73.5%, and that of RG group was 40.8%. TCM syndrome scores in RG + CHF group showed a more pronounced decrease (p < 0.05). Scr, BUN, and UA levels decreased while eGFR levels increased in both groups (p < 0.05), with a greater magnitude of change observed in the RG + CHF group. Urinary AKI biomarkers decreased more in RG + CHF group (p < 0.05). No serious adverse events occurred during the trial. 58 different lipid metabolites and 48 lipid biomarkers were identified. According to the KEGG database, the possible metabolic pathways involved triglyceride metabolic pathway and fat digestion and absorption metabolic pathways.Conclusion CHF-II effectively alleviated kidney injury and improved TCM syndrome scores in patients with A on C. Lipid differential metabolites could serve as diagnostic indicators for AKI in patients with CKD. The possible metabolic pathways might be implicated in therapeutic action of CHF-II in the prevention and treatment of patients with A on C. |
