BACKGROUND: Accurate genetic diagnosis of end-stage renal disease patients with a family history of renal dysfunction is very essential. It not only helps in proper prognosis, but becomes crucial in designating donor for live related renal transplant. We here present a case of family with deleterious mutations in INF2 and ROBO2 and its importance of genetic testing before preparing for kidney transplantation. CASE PRESENTATION: We report the case of a 29-year-female with end-stage renal disease and rapidly progressive renal failure...

Despite its rare frequency, a pleuroperitoneal communication is a well-documented complication for patients on peritoneal dialysis. It occurs in ~2% of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis, with uncertain incidence for those on automated peritoneal dialysis. We report a case of a 30-year-old female patient with end-stage kidney disease with sudden dyspnea 2 days after starting automated peritoneal dialysis. Her chest x-ray revealed a significant pleural effusion on the right side. A thoracocentesis was performed, with a pleural glucose/plasma glucose of 1...

Syphilis is a known cause of membranous nephropathy. We describe a case of a patient presenting with nephrotic syndrome whose renal biopsy demonstrated a 'full house' immunohistochemical pattern with positive IgG, IgM, C1q, IgA, C3c, and C4d staining. He was treated with immunosuppressive agents for minimal change nephropathy and subsequently class V lupus nephritis, before syphilis infection was confirmed. Following treatment with a single dose of intramuscular benzathine penicillin there was complete and rapid resolution of nephrotic syndrome...

Acute kidney injury is a severe disease that is closely associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. The most common cause of AKI is renal ischemia-reperfusion injury. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have previously been shown to have renoprotective effects. However, extracellular vesicles secreted by MSCs are thought to be the key for the therapeutic effects of MSCs. This study investigated whether small EVs derived from ACE2-modified human umbilical cord MSCs could alleviate RIRI and explored their underlying molecular mechanisms METHODS: A lentivirus carrying an ACE2 overexpression vector was constructed and used to infect MSCs...

We present the case of a recent ABO incompatible kidney transplant recipient with persistent SARS-CoV-2 infection and pneumonitis. Serial whole genome sequencing confirmed intra-host viral evolution, which was used as a surrogate to confirm active viral replication and support re-treatment with antivirals, late in the course of infection. A prolonged course of remdesivir combined with immunosuppression modulation resulted in successful clearance of virus and clinical improvement. The diagnostic process undertaken in this case provides a useful guide for other clinicians when approaching similar patients...

Adenine phosphoribosyl transferase (APRT) deficiency is an autosomal recessive disorder and a rare cause of urolithiasis due to mutations in APRT (OMIM #102600). APRT deficiency results in increased urinary excretion of 2,8-dihydroxyadenine (DHA) which can cause urolithiasis and kidney failure. However, with prompt diagnosis, patients with APRT deficiency can be treated with xanthine oxidoreductase inhibitors which decrease urinary DHA excretion and improve outcomes. We report a pair of siblings, an 11-year-old brother and his 14-year-old sister with compound heterozygous variants c...

Kidney transplantation in people living with HIV (PLWHIV) is occurring with increasing frequency. Limited international data suggest comparable patient and graft survival in kidney transplant recipients with and without HIV. All PLWHIV aged ≥18 years who received a kidney transplant between 2000 and 2020 were identified by retrospective data initially extracted from Australia and New Zealand Dialysis and Transplant Registry (ANZDATA), with additional HIV-specific clinical data extracted from linked local health-care records...

Laparoscopy provides extensive data for the decannulation of a peritoneal dialysis catheter and is being increasingly used to diagnose encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis. However, there are few reports on the methods of decannulation of peritoneal dialysis catheters. In this study, we examined the laparoscopic findings and postoperative complications of patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis catheter removal. A total of 119 laparoscopic decannulations of peritoneal dialysis catheters were performed between 2003 and 2018 at the Juntendo University Hospital and Juntendo University Nerima Hospital...

AIM: Irrespective of the cause, albumin/proteinuria induces tubulointerstitial damage and accelerates the progression of kidney diseases. Our series of studies demonstrated that proteinuria, an independent prognostic factor for chronic kidney disease (CKD), is correlated with urinary basigin/CD147 (Bsg) levels. We examined the morphology and origin of Bsg in the tubular lumen through the effects of filtered glucose and protein solutes on the tubules. METHODS: Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) patients (N = 50) were treated with spironolactone 25 mg for 4 weeks or by conservative treatment...

A limited number of cases of thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) have previously been reported in association with COVID-19. Our report describes two cases of TMA associated with COVID-19, one of which was successfully treated with eculizumab. The first case was a 23-month-old girl, and the second case was a 9-month-old boy. PCR tests for SARS-CoV-2 were positive in both cases, and laboratory results showed microangiopathic haemolytic anaemia, thrombocytopenia, and acute kidney injury. No known aetiology for TMA was found in either case...
