INTRODUCTION: Perirenal fat is a pad that fills the retroperitoneal space outside the kidney, which affects kidney function in various ways. However, the association between perirenal fat and IgA nephropathy (IgAN) has not yet been elucidated. This study aimed to investigate the role of perirenal fat in predicting IgAN progression. METHODS: A total of 473 patients with biopsy-proven IgAN and follow-up information were recruited, and perirenal fat thickness (PFT) was measured using color Doppler ultrasonography at renal biopsy...

BACKGROUND: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with a high burden of coronary artery disease (CAD), which remains the leading cause of death in CKD patients. Despite the high cardiovascular risk, ACS patients with renal dysfunction are less commonly treated with guideline-based medical therapy and are less frequently referred for coronary revascularization. SUMMARY: The management of CAD is more challenging in patients with CKD than in the general population due to concerns regarding side effects and renal toxicity, as well as uncertainty regarding clinical benefit of guideline-based medical therapy and interventions...

INTRODUCTION: Steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS) is the second most common cause of end-stage kidney disease in children, mostly associated with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). Advances in genomic science have enabled the identification of causative variants in 20-30% of SRNS patients. METHODS: We used whole exome sequencing to explore the genetic causes of SRNS in children. Totally, 101 patients with SRNS and 13 patients with nephrotic proteinuria and FSGS were retrospectively enrolled in our hospital between 2018 and 2022...

BACKGROUND: Hypoxia-inducible factor-prolyl hydroxylase inhibitors (HIF-PHIs) are novel oral agents used for renal anemia treatment. Roxadustat, a first-in-class HIF-PHI used for treating anemia in chronic kidney disease patients, has been approved in China, Japan, South Korea, Chile, and Europe. Roxadustat is involved in HIF degradation, which can stimulate endogenous erythropoietin (EPO) production and improve iron utilization. Besides, roxadustat can promote dietary iron uptake and transport...

INTRODUCTION: The long-term impact of renin-angiotensin system (RAS) inhibitors for secondary prevention in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and coexisting coronary artery disease remains unclear. METHODS: Altogether, 1,160 consecutive patients with CKD (mean age, 70 ± 9 years; 78% men) who underwent their first percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) between 2000 and 2018 were included and analyzed. Based on their RAS inhibitor use, 674 patients (58%) were allocated to the RAS inhibitor group, and 486 patients (42%) were allocated to the non-RAS inhibitor group...

BACKGROUND: Atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis (ARAS) is a condition where the renal arteries become narrowed due to atherosclerosis, leading to reduced blood flow to the kidneys and various renal complications. The effectiveness of interventional treatments, such as renal artery angioplasty and stenting, remains debated, making patient selection for these procedures challenging. SUMMARY: This review focuses on the diagnosis and management of ARAS, with a particular emphasis on the potential role of functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in evaluating renal function and mechanisms...

INTRODUCTION: The triglyceride glucose (TyG) index is a reliable alternative biomarker of insulin resistance, but the association between the TyG index and acute kidney injury (AKI) in critically ill patients remains unclear. METHODS: The data for the study were extracted from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV (MIMIC-IV) database. Cox regression and restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis were performed to analyze the association between the TyG index and all-cause mortality...

BACKGROUND: tRNA-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs) are an emerging class of small noncoding RNAs derived from tRNA cleavage. SUMMARY: With the development of high-throughput sequencing, various biological roles of tsRNAs have been gradually revealed, including regulation of mRNA stability, transcription, translation, direct interaction with proteins and as epigenetic factors, etc. Recent studies have shown that tsRNAs are also closely related to renal disease. In clinical acute kidney injury (AKI) patients and preclinical AKI models, the production and differential expression of tsRNAs in renal tissue and plasma were observed...

BACKGROUND: Anemia is a common and important complication in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Accordingly, the current treatment is based on erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs) and iron. Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) prolyl hydroxylase domain inhibitors (HIF-PHIs) have been developed to treat renal anemia through a novel mechanism. HIF-PHIs increase erythropoietin at physiologic blood concentrations and also improve the supply of hematopoietic iron. Iron is the main component of hemoglobin, and ensuring efficient iron metabolism is essential in the treatment of anemia...

INTRODUCTION: Comprehensive data on the risk of hospital-acquired (HA) acute kidney injury (AKI) among adult users of opioid analgesics are lacking. This study aimed to systematically compare the risk of HA-AKI among the users of various opioid analgesics. METHODS: This multicenter, retrospective real-world study analyzed 255,265 adult hospitalized patients who received at least one prescription of opioid analgesic during the first 30 days of hospitalization. The primary outcome was the time from the first opioid analgesic prescription to HA-AKI occurrence...

BACKGROUND: Recently, in addition to apoptosis and necrosis, several other forms of cell death have been discovered, such as necroptosis, autophagy, pyroptosis, and ferroptosis. These cell death modalities play diverse roles in kidney diseases. Pyroptosis is a newly described type of proinflammatory programmed necrosis. Further exploring pyroptosis is helpful to slow the progression of kidney diseases and reduce their complications. SUMMARY: Pyroptosis is mainly mediated by the cleavage of gasdermin D (GSDMD) along with downstream inflammasome activation...

BACKGROUND: Hyperoxaluria is a major cause of oxalate nephropathy, which can lead to impaired renal function presenting as acute kidney injury, acute on chronic kidney disease, or chronic kidney disease. The Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort study showed that higher urinary oxalate is associated with renal outcome in patients with chronic kidney disease, supporting the nephrotoxicity of oxalate. Therefore, a better understanding of the role of oxalate in kidney injury is needed. This review describes the metabolism of oxalate and the clinical and pathology presentation of oxalate nephropathy...

INTRODUCTION: The clinicopathological features of segmental membranous glomerulopathy (SMGN) have not been well characterized. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence and clinicopathological features of SMGN in adults. METHODS: Adult patients with biopsy-confirmed SMGN in the native kidney at our center between January 2017 to September 2020 were identified. The clinicopathological features of SMGN were collected. The glomerular deposition of IgG subclasses, M-type phospholipase A2 receptor 1 (PLA2R), thrombospondin type 1 domain-containing 7A (THSD7A), and neural epidermal growth factor-like 1 protein (NELL1) were tested...

INTRODUCTION: It is still controversial whether automated peritoneal dialysis (APD) or hemodialysis (HD) is a more favorable choice for the rapid initiation of peritoneal dialysis (PD). METHODS: A pilot randomized prospective controlled trial was carried out in Shanghai Ruijin Hospital. Sixty-seven patients who chose long-term PD treatment and needed unplanned dialysis were enrolled and randomized into HD-CAPD group (33 cases) or APD-CAPD group (34 cases) based on the dialysis modality during the transition period (within 14 days from the day PD catheter was implanted)...

INTRODUCTION: Diabetic kidney disease (DKD), one of the leading causes of end-stage renal disease, has complex pathogenic mechanisms and few effective clinical therapies. DKD progression is accompanied by the loss of renal resident cells, followed by chronic inflammation and extracellular matrix deposition. Necroptosis is a newly discovered form of regulated cell death and is a major form of intrinsic cell loss in certain diabetic complications such as cardiomyopathy, intestinal disease, and retinal neuropathy; however, its significance in DKD is largely unknown...
