Reviewer 1 ·

Basic reporting

Yang et al present a complete review about mitochondrial quality control implication in chronic kidney pathology. English is correct and easy to read. Literature references are in general well selected and the use of a summary table helps to follow the article.
In general, introduction adequately introduce the subject, although it would be interesting expand it a little, including some point about other mitochondrial quality control mechanisms, like mitochondrial dynamics, which appear in the rest of the review.

Experimental design

- Methods results excessive short, do not provide enough data of the searching process.
- Although the sections are coherent between introduction and the main part, It would be interesting for authors to create more specific subsections which facilitate reading.
- In lines 115-116, there are other autophagy receptors in addition to p62, like optineurin or NDP52.
- In lines 126-127, it would be interesting include some information about PINK1 processing by PARL.
- In line 136, it should be "autophagolysosomes" instead of "autophagosomes".
- Review lines 168-170, they have no sense.
- In CL sections would be interesting include some explanation or reference about the regulation between mitophagic and apoptotic pathways by lipid peroxidation:10.1016/S0076-6879(08)01419-5
- Lines 358-360 should be explain more in depth or provide some reference. Defective mitophagy induce a mtDNA leakage (10.1111/acel.13622).

Validity of the findings

It would be interesting including some human studies.

Reviewer 2 ·

Basic reporting

I have read the manuscript with interest. An important topic that contributes to knowledge in the area. However, there are several issues that require attention and revision.

Major comments:
1. All the figures presented in the manuscript appear to be pixelated and need to be improved.

2. The following reports are also related to mitochondrial dysfunction in CKD. The authors should include the following references in their manuscript:
• Ho, H.J. and Shirakawa, H. Oxidative Stress and Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Chronic Kidney Disease. Cells. 2022, 12: 88. doi: 10.3390/cells12010088.
• Bhatia, D. and Choi, M. The Emerging Role of Mitophagy in Kidney Diseases. J Life Sci (Westlake Village). 2019, 1:13-22. doi: 10.36069/jols/20191203.

3. A recent report revealed a novel mechanism of mitophagy. Please discuss this issue in this manuscript:
• Fukuda, T., et al. The mitochondrial intermembrane space protein mitofissin drives mitochondrial fission required for mitophagy. Mol Cell. 2023, 83:2045-2058.e9. doi: 10.1016/j.molcel.2023.04.022.

4. Please also put the role of CL in CKD in Table 1. If there is any information about the molecular species composition change of CL in CKD, please include it in this manuscript, because its molecular species composition in different tissues is very important.

Experimental design

It is a review article.
