Table 2.

Established and future Management strategies for ORCKD.

Antilpidemics; Triglyceride lowering medications Particularly in ORCKD patients with known persistent hypertriglyceridemia and/or confirmed renal
steatosis on imaging/renal biopsy; Fibrates, niacin,
fish oil analogs and derivatives, icosapent ethyl etc
Uric acid modulators; Xanthine oxidase inhibitors and uricosurics Particularly in ORCKD patients with known nephrolithiasis, nephrocalcinois, known
hyperuricemia and/or hyperuricosuria; Allopurinol,
febuxostat, probenecid etc.
Putative and Experimental
adjuncts
Anti-inflammatory agents Limited human clinical data; No FDA approved options;?? Colchine utility based on small case
series
Endothelin Receptor
blockers
Clinical trials; No clinically available nor FDA
approved options
CD-36 inhibitors Pre-Clinical and animal model trials
Vasopressin Receptor antagonists (V1a, V1b and V2 receptor blockers) May have potential utility in ORCKD patients with
associated polycystic kidney disease and particularly in ADPKD patients with superimposed ORCKD;
tolvaptan, satavaptan, lixivaptan and conivaptan
Fecal microbiota modulation Limited clinical data and no clinical practice guidelines; use of pre-pro and post biotic
supplements, potential of fecal transplantation in
select patients. Clinical trial stage.
Melatonin supplementation and Melatonin receptor modulation Limited human clinical data and no clinical practice guideline. Not FDA approved?? utility of low to mid dose melatonin replacement therapy. Early clinical
trial stage.
FXR receptor activation Preclinical trial stage; experimental
Anti-oxidants Limited clinical data. No clinical practice guidelines
and no FDA approved options.
SREBP-1 modulators Preclinical trial stage; experimental
M−Tor inhibitors Preclinical trial stage; experimental
Aldosterone Synthase inhibitors Limited available human clinical data. No FDA approved options; early stages of clinical development. May have particular utility in ORCKD patients with coexisting primary aldosteronism.
Osilodrostat, Baxdrostat, Lorundrostat etc.
Vitamin D receptor agonists and modulators Limited available clinical trial data. In early stages of clinical development. May unique niche of utility in
ORCKD patients with coexisting secondary or tertiary hyperparathyroidism. Calcitriol, paricalcitol,
doxercalciferol, alfacalcidol etc.
Patients with ORCKD and ESRD Renal Replacement therapy Hemo and/or peritoneal dialysis with the unique difficulties and challenges of the obese ORCKD patient.
Renal transplant.
