Metformin-associated lactic acidosis is a well-known metformin treatment complication; however, the development of euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis (euDKA) has rarely been reported. Here we report a case of lactic acidosis and euDKA after metformin overdose. A 57-year-old female patient was transferred to our hospital with severe metabolic acidosis and acute kidney injury. She had type 2 diabetes mellitus and was on oral antidiabetic therapy of vildagliptin metformin hydrochloride daily. On the admission day, she had committed suicide by overdosing 50 tablets of vildagliptin metformin hydrochloride, which was equivalent to 25,000 mg of metformin and 2500 mg of vildagliptin...

BACKGROUND: There is paucity of information regarding the etiology and outcomes of Acute Kidney Disease (AKD) in children. METHODS: The objectives of this cohort study were to evaluate the etiology and outcomes of AKD; and analyze predictors of kidney survival (defined as free of CKD 2, 3a, 3b, 4 or 5). Patients aged 1 month to 18 years who developed AKD over a 4-year-period (January 2018-December 2021) were enrolled. Survivors were followed-up at the pediatric nephrology clinic, and screened for residual kidney injury...

BACKGROUND: A huge amount of clinical data is generated daily and it is usually filed in clinical reports as natural language. Data extraction and further analysis requires reading and manual review of each report, which is a time consuming process. With the aim to test folksonomy to quickly obtain and analyze the information contained in media reports we set up this study. METHODS AND OBJECTIVES: We have used folksonomy to quickly obtain and analyze data from 1631 discharge clinical reports from the Nephrology Department of Hospital del Mar, without the need to create a structured database...

People living with kidney disease are among the most vulnerable groups at the time of natural or man-made disasters. In addition to their unpredictable course, armed-conflicts impose a major threat given disruption of infrastructure, sanitation, access to food, water, and medical care. The ongoing war in Ukraine has once more demonstrated the importance of preparedness, organization, coordination and solidarity during disasters. People living with kidney disease face serious challenges given their dependence on life-saving treatment, irrespective of whether they remain in the war zone, or are displaced internally or externally...

In the absence of malignancy or other severe comorbidity, kidney transplantation offers better survival rates and quality of life than dialysis. Despite this survival advantage, many lower- and upper-middle-income countries do not offer adequate kidney transplant services. This is particularly troubling because end-stage kidney disease often is more common in these countries than in high-income countries and overall is less costly in the life of a patient. We describe the contrasting levels of provision of kidney transplantation in Mexico, India, Nigeria, Ghana, and Zimbabwe, and kidney transplant services for children in Africa...

BACKGROUND: The highly conserved Hippo pathway, which regulates organ growth and cell proliferation by inhibiting transcriptional co-factors YAP/TAZ, plays a special role in podocytes, where activation of the pathway leads to apoptosis. The Ajuba family proteins (Ajuba, LIMD1 and WTIP) can bind and inactivate LATS1/2, two of the Hippo pathway key kinases. WTIP furthermore connects the slit diaphragm (SD), the specialized cell-cell junction between podocytes, with the actin cytoskeleton...

BACKGROUND: Kidney transplantation in children in 1970 was considered by many to be unethical, as long-term survival was minimal. It was therefore risky at the time to offer transplantation to a child. CASE DIAGNOSIS/TREATMENT: A 6-year-old boy with kidney failure due to haemolytic uraemic syndrome received 4 months of intermittent peritoneal dialysis followed by 6 months of haemodialysis until at 6 years and 10 months, he underwent bilateral nephrectomy and received a kidney transplant from a deceased 18-year-old donor...

BACKGROUND: The present retrospective study was carried out to determine the incidence of unrecognized cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI) due to infrequency of serum creatinine (SCr) measurements in pediatric cardiac patients and to assess the association between unrecognized CSA-AKI and clinical outcomes. METHODS: This study was a single-center, retrospective study of pediatric patients who underwent cardiac surgery. Patients were diagnosed with CSA-AKI based on SCr measurements, and unrecognized CSA-AKI was defined under the assumptions that there had been only one or two SCr measurements within 48 h after surgery: CSA-AKI unrecognized by one SCr measurement (AKI-URone), CSA-AKI unrecognized by two SCr measurements (AKI-URtwo), and CSA-AKI recognized by one and two SCr measurements (AKI-R)...

BACKGROUND: Our previously demonstrated continuous flow peritoneal dialysis (CFPD) technique in children with acute kidney injury (AKI), although effective, was manpower heavy and expensive due to the high-volume pumps required. The aim of this study was to develop and test a novel gravity-driven CFPD technique in children using readily available, inexpensive equipment and to compare this technique to conventional PD. METHODS: After development and initial in vitro testing, a randomised crossover clinical trial was conducted in 15 children with AKI requiring dialysis...

In an era of increased accessibility to genetic testing, nephrologists may be able to better understand pathophysiologic mechanisms by which their patients develop specific conditions. In this study, we describe clinical and genetic findings of two patients with kidney cysts, who were found to have variants in HOGA1 , a mitochondrial 4-hydroxy-2-oxoglutarate aldolase enzyme associated with primary hyperoxaluria type 3 and the development of oxalate-containing kidney stones. We describe possible mechanisms by which mutations in this enzyme could result in the kidney cyst formation seen in our two patients...

BACKGROUND: Thiazide diuretics are associated with glucose intolerance and new onset diabetes mellitus. Previous studies demonstrated that thiazides attenuate insulin secretion, but the molecular mechanisms remain elusive. We hypothesized that thiazides attenuate insulin secretion via one of the known molecular thiazide targets in β-cells. METHODS: We performed static insulin secretion experiments with islets of wild-type, NCC (SLC12A3), and NDCBE (SLC4A8) knock-out (KO) mice and with murine Min6 cells with individual knock-down of carbonic anhydrase (CA) isoforms to identify the molecular target of thiazides in β-cells...

Compared to women with normal kidney function, women with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) are much less likely to become pregnant, but more likely to have a complicated pregnancy. While renal transplantation remains the best option for women who desire to have a child, pregnancy on dialysis should be considered an option for those who may not receive a transplant during their reproductive years. Many physicians do not encounter a pregnant patient with ESKD during their nephrology training, and may not feel prepared to provide care for such patients in a busy practice...
