Specific antigen-based stratification of membranous nephropathy in patients after haematopoietic stem cell allotransplantation - a case series and literature review.

Background: Nephrotic syndrome (NS) is a rare complication that can occur after haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). In patients with membranous nephropathy (MN) who have undergone allogeneic HSCT, a new antigen called protocadherin FAT1 has been identified. Our objective is to present a case series of MN patients after HSCT with a novel antigen-based stratification.

Two sides of the same coin: a complex presentation of autosomal dominant tubulointerstitial kidney diseases: a literature review and case reports.

Introduction: Genetic kidney diseases are underdiagnosed; namely, from 7% to 40% of patients suffering from chronic kidney disease (CKD) can carry a pathogenic variant, depending on population characteristics. Hereditary tubulointerstitial kidney diseases, including autosomal dominant tubulointerstitial kidney diseases (ADTKD), are even more challenging to diagnose. ADTKD is a rare form of genetic kidney disease resulting from pathogenic variants in the and genes.

Case report: Sevelamer-associated colitis-a cause of pseudotumor formation with colon perforation and life-threatening bleeding.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a very common chronic non-communicable disease. Phosphate and calcium metabolism disorders are one of the most common features of CKD. Sevelamer carbonate is the most widely used non-calcium phosphate binder.

Typical course of cystinuria leading to untypical complications in pregnancy: A case report and review of literature.

Cystinuria is a rare genetic disorder inherited by an autosomal recessive pattern which affects the transmembrane transporter for the base amino acid cystine. It has a general prevalence of 1 in 7000 with demographic variations. Patients with cystinuria have excessive urinary excretion of cystine, which can lead to the formation of stones.

[Liver damage caused by atorvastatin and cyclosporine in patients with renal transplant].

Kidney transplantation is the preferred method of treatment of end-stage renal disease, which significantly improves the quality of life, but also increases survival when compared to dialysis. Prevention of acute or chronic rejection demands the use of immunosuppression. However, nephrotoxicity, hepatotoxicity, cardiovascular disease, post-transplantation diabetes mellitus, chronic graft dysfunction and dyslipidemia may all occur as complications of immunosuppressive therapy.
