Article Synopsis
- The study compared the effectiveness and safety of new anemia treatments (HIF-PHis) in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients who have received kidney transplants (KTRs) versus those who have not (non-KTRs).
- Researchers analyzed data from 82 patients before and after starting treatment with roxadustat or daprodustat, focusing on hemoglobin (Hb) levels and adverse events.
- Findings showed both groups had significant increases in Hb levels, but KTRs had a higher rate of thrombotic events, indicating that while the treatments are similarly effective, KTRs require careful monitoring for blood clot risks.
Background: We experienced a nosocomial outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) from November 2020 to February 2021, during the third wave of the pandemic in Japan.
Methods: We retrospectively assessed the characteristics and data of 20 inpatients undergoing hemodialysis who were hospitalized for treatment of diseases other than COVID-19 during the COVID-19 nosocomial outbreak ("inpatient," IP), and of 10 outpatients undergoing hemodialysis who were hospitalized for the care of COVID-19 under outpatient visits ("outpatient," OP).
Results: Eleven patients in the IP group (55%) and one in the OP group (10%) died.
Renal involvement in eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) typically occurs in anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibody (ANCA)-positive cases presenting with rapidly progressive renal insufficiency and urinary abnormalities induced by primarily necrotizing crescentic glomerulonephritis (NCGN). Recently, ANCA-negative EGPA has also been reported to manifest with renal involvement, such as NCGN or non-NCGN, including membranous nephropathy (MN). Herein, we report a 70-year-old female who presented with purpura on the lower legs, upper limb numbness, renal dysfunction (eGFR, 20.

We compared the renal survival rate between MTC and conservative care (CC). Methods In this five-year, single-center, prospective, observational study, we examined 24 patients (mean age 65.
