Chronic kidney disease(CKD)is a chronic renal structural and functional disorder caused by multiple causes(history of kidney injury>3 months),with complex etiology and high inci-dence,which will eventually lead to end-stage re-nal disease(ESRD).Common chronic kidney diseas-es include diabetic nephropathy,polycystic ne-phropathy,nephrogenic diabetes insipidus and re-nal fibrosis.At present,there is still a lack of effec-tive specific treatment for chronic kidney disease.The Apelin system is an endogenous physiological regulator.Studies have shown that Apelin is in-volved in the occurrence and development of the above diseases mainly through the regulation of kidney body fluids and blood vessels,and the regu-lation of kidney glucose and lipid metabolism and immunity.This article aims to review the role of Apelin in chronic kidney diseases in recent years,and provide ideas for the treatment and drug de-velopment of kidney diseases with Apelin as a new target.

Immune-related kidney disease is one of the causes of end-stage renal disease and an important disease type that threatens public health. Farnesoid X receptor (FXR) is a nuclear receptor activated by bile acids, involved in regulating gene expression related to bile acid, lipid, and glucose metabolism. In recent years, the role of FXR in renal immune regulation has received attention. FXR participates in the occurrence and development of immune-related kidney diseases by regulating the differentiation, polarization, activation, recruitment, adhesion, infiltration, and cytokine release of immune cells such as macrophages, dendritic cells, natural killer cells, T lymphocytes, and B lymphocytes. This article reviews renal immune-regulatory mechanisms of FXR in recent years and its potential role in immune-related kidney diseases, to provide a theoretical basis for the prevention and treatment of immune-related kidney diseases targeting FXR.
