A sporadic occurrence of Fanconi syndrome associated with adefovir dipivoxil (ADV) has been reported, particularly when confirmed by renal biopsy. This study presents the case of a 53-year-old man who had been taking ADV 10 mg daily for 10 years to treat chronic hepatitis B (CHB) and subsequently developed Fanconi syndrome. The clinical manifestations included hypophosphatemic osteomalacia, glucosuria, renal tubular acidosis, low-molecular-weight proteinuria, and renal insufficiency. Renal biopsy revealed significant injury to proximal tubular epithelial cells, including vacuolar degeneration and regeneration of tubular epithelial cells...

INTRODUCTION: Patients on maintenance hemodialysis show lower serological response to mRNA vaccines. Main causes that contribute to this phenomenon are uremic milieu and older age. However, there are no data on the impact of body composition parameters to humoral response. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this retrospective study, we used data from adult patients on maintenance hemodialysis who received vaccination with 2 doses of BNT162b2. Quantitative determination of antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) protein receptor binding domain was performed using the Elecsys immunoassay...

Recent national policy changes in the United States and the continued growth of peritoneal dialysis (PD) as a therapy for end-stage kidney disease has renewed interest in this modality. The objective of this study was to describe the current landscape of PD clinical trials to assess trends and gaps in clinical research. An advanced search was completed through ClinicalTrials.gov, yielding 248 studies. Descriptive statistics and Fisher exact tests were used for statistical analysis. Most studies were completed (197, 79...

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship of plasma neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (pNGAL) and urine neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (uNGAL) with clinical indicators and pathology in patients with IgA nephropathy (IgAN). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Clinical and pathological data of 36 patients with primary IgAN diagnosed by kidney biopsy were selected. The Oxford and Lee classifications were used to rank the pathology of IgAN patients and the particle-enhanced immunoturbidimetric method was adopted to measure pNGAL and uNGAL...

Clinicians and patients are guided by observational studies to make one of the most consequential decisions for patients with advanced kidney disease: the selection of the "right" hemodialysis vascular access. More than a decade ago, a call for randomized clinical trials was made to equitably compare clinical outcomes between arteriovenous (AV) fistulas (AVFs) and AV grafts (AVGs). Mounting evidence suggests that trade-offs between AVF- and AVGrelated outcomes are context dependent. In this article, we summarize four streams of evidence that collectively underpin the burden of equipoise between the two types of AV access in older adults with comorbidities who are on hemodialysis with a central venous catheter...

BACKGROUND: Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO), a gut microbiota-derived metabolite, has emerged as a new potentially important cause of increased atherosclerosis and cardiovascular risk in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. However, the possible causes whereby TMAO potentiates atherosclerosis development remain poorly defined. The strong association between gut microbiota and obesity suggested that the TMAO pathway may be linked to the pathogenesis of obesity. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 184 hemodialysis (HD) patients and 38 healthy controls were enrolled in the study from March 2019 to May 2019...

BACKGROUND: This study evaluated the comparative efficacy of roxadustat for renal anemia between patients on maintenance hemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD). MATERIALS AND METHODS: 93 maintenance dialysis patients who regularly followed up from August 2015 to June 2021 were enrolled. Despite receiving a therapeutic dose ≥ 12,000 U/week of erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (E+SA) in the past 12 weeks, this had not worked very well. Subjects were assigned to the HD group (n = 60) or the PD group (n = 33) based on their dialysis treatment modality...

Colonic pseudo-obstruction, also called Ogilvie's syndrome, occurs due to impaired intestinal propulsion, and may be caused by electrolyte imbalances such as hypokalemia and some endocrine disorders such as hyperparathyroidism. Secretory diarrhea due to intestinal pseudo-obstruction can cause hypokalemia. Diuretics such as amiloride can be used to treat hypokalemia, however in this case, treatment with amiloride induced hypercalcemia and unmasked hyperparathyroidism. A 73-year-old female with a history of hypertension and parathyroid adenoma presented with recurrent colonic pseudo-obstruction and chronic hypokalemia...

BACKGROUND: Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) has been shown to improve renal outcomes in both diabetic and non-diabetic kidney disease. However, the effect of SGLT2i on renal outcomes in patients with non-diabetic obesity is still not established. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this double-blind, randomized controlled trial, we assigned non-diabetic patients with body mass index (BMI) ≥ 25 kg/m2 , persistent 24-hour urine albumin-creatinine ratio (UACR) ≥ 10 mg/gCr, and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥ 60 mL/min/1...

Anticoagulant-related nephropathy (ARN) is a rare but important disease and often misdiagnosed. The hallmark of the diagnosis is acute kidney injury (AKI) superimposed on preexisting kidney disease due to anticoagulation-induced glomerular hemorrhage with histologic features of widespread tubular obstruction by red blood cells and red cell casts. As ARN is a diagnosis of exclusion only proven by renal biopsy, the diagnosis is often unlikely to be confirmed histologically because of fear of biopsy-related bleeding during anticoagulant therapy...

INTRODUCTION: Monoclonal gammopathy is a heterogeneous group of disorders due to the clonal proliferation of immunoglobulin-producing plasma cells or B lymphocytes. Patients develop kidney disease not only due to malignant transformation but also due to the idiosyncratic properties of the M protein and the host factors. We aim to study the spectrum of kidney diseases in patients with paraproteinemia. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective observational study was performed at three tertiary care centers in Southern India...

The COVID-19 pandemic has had lingering effects in healthcare. During the pandemic, inpatient bed shortages became a major barrier to providing care, and access to outpatient dialysis was delayed due to a shortage of staff. This resulted in lengthy admissions to the hospital while awaiting outpatient dialysis placement in a time when hospital bedspace was a scarce resource. In this report we describe the use of the Hospital at Home program for inpatient dialysis care as a novel method to both provide high quality patient care at home and also open inpatient beds in the hospital...

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a progressive kidney disease where the size of the kidneys is correlated to the stage of kidney failure. Total kidney volume (TKV) is used as a prognostic marker to determine disease stage, progression, and possible effect of treatment. It has been shown that water restriction is associated with reduced kidney volume in healthy subjects. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between TKV and hydration status in ADPKD patients. 40 ADPKD patients with chronic kidney disease stage 1 - 3 were randomized to either 3 hours of water restriction (n = 21) or 1 hour of water loading (n = 19; intake: 20 mL/kg)...

INTRODUCTION: Maintenance hemodialysis (HD) patients are at higher risk of both infection and mortality associated with the new SARS-CoV-2. Immunization through large-scale vaccination is the cornerstone of infection prevention in this population. This study aims to identify risk factors for low response to the BNT-162b2 (Pfizer BioNTech) vaccine in an HD cohort. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Observational prospective study of an HD group followed in a Portuguese Public Founded Hemodialysis Center who received BNT-162b2 vaccination...
