Hypertension and cardiovascular complications are very common in chronic kidney disease (CKD). Overactivation of sympathetic nervous system is also widely recognized in CKD. Renalase may play an important role in the control of blood pressure (BP) by its regulatory function of catecholamine metabolism. Renalase could be synthesized not only by the kidney but also by cardiomyocytes, liver, and adipose tissue. It probably exerts a hypotensive action, at least in animal models. Whether it metabolizes catecholamines remains to be proved. Another issue that remains to be resolved is the relationship between renalase and renal natriuresis and phosphaturia. In this review, the updated experimental and clinical data on renalase are presented and possible interactions with the endothelium are discussed. Renalase is a new postulated therapeutic target. Proof of concept studies are needed to define the pathophysiological link between the kidney, sympathetic tone, BP, and cardiovascular complications.
