Objective: Granulomatous interstitial nephritis is a rare finding, and etiology differs by geography. We aimed to investigate the distribution of causes of granuloma/granulomata in the kidney and renal survival of these patients in a tertiary care hospital in Western Turkey.
Material And Method: Medical records of adults who underwent a kidney biopsy procedure in our institution between January 2000 and June 2019 were reviewed.
Aims: In this study, we investigated the expression of thyroid transcription factor-1 (TTF-1) in lung adenocarcinoma patients' samples and analyzed the association of TTF-1 with clinicopathological parameters, prognosis, and treatment options in patients with lung adenocarcinoma.
Subjects And Methods: This retrospective study enrolled 200 patients who were histologically confirmed lung adenocarcinoma with Stage I-IV disease, between 2008 and 2015 years. The cytological archive of these hospitals' Pathology Department was searched.
Nephrotoxicity following colistin administration is common and factors alleviating nephrotoxicity are yet to be determined. We retrospectively evaluated outcomes of subjects who were treated with colistin (n = 133) and with antibiotics other than colistin (control, n = 133) in intensive care units. Acute kidney injury (AKI) occurred in 69.

Aim: To investigate clinical clues for NDRD in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and to analyse renal prognosis of patients based on pathological diagnosis.
Methods: We retrospectively searched medical records of 115 patients with type 2 diabetes who underwent a renal biopsy between 2004 and 2018.
Background: P-glycoprotein (P-gp) transports many chemicals that vary greatly in their structure and function. It is normally expressed in renal proximal tubular cells. We hypothesized that P-gp expression influences light chain excretion.

Background: Glomerular immunoglobulin G deposition in patients with immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) has been shown to be associated with adverse renal outcomes. Clinical significance of mesangial immunoglobulin M (IgM) deposition in these patients remains to be proven.
Methods: One hundred patients who had a diagnosis of IgAN between 2001 and 2017 were enrolled.
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the relation between the rate of fluorine-18 (18F) fludeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake and CD38 and CD138 expression in myeloma cells in bone marrow and other clinical parameters in patients with multiple myeloma (MM).
Materials And Methods: Patients with the diagnosis of MM who underwent 18F-FDG positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) for initial staging were evaluated retrospectively. We analyzed a total of 42 patients (43-83 years old, mean: 64.
