Effect of Intravitreal Anti-Endothelial Growth Factor Agents on Renal Function in Patients With Diabetes Mellitus.

Introduction: Intravitreal administration of vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitors (anti-VEGF) is the treatment of choice in retinal pathology associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2). We aimed to analyze the effect of intravitreal anti-VEGF administration on renal function in patients with DM2.

Methods: This is a single-center retrospective and observational study of patients with DM2 with and without chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Humoral Response After SARS-CoV-2 Vaccination in Kidney Transplant Recipients: Role of Immunosuppression Therapy.

Background: Messenger RNA vaccination against COVID-19 has been shown to produce an immune response with sufficient efficacy to prevent natural infection in immunocompetent recipients. However, the response in kidney transplant recipients is low. We aimed to evaluate the specific humoral response to SARS-CoV-2 after vaccination in a population of kidney transplant recipients and assess the main factors associated with a lack of response.
