Hepatorenal syndrome type 1 (HRS-1) is a unique form of acute kidney injury that affects individuals with decompensated cirrhosis with ascites. The primary mechanism leading to reduction of kidney function in HRS-1 is hemodynamic in nature. Cumulative evidence points to a cascade of events that led to a profound reduction in kidney perfusion.

Article Synopsis
- IgA nephropathy (IgAN) and minimal change disease (MCD) are the most frequently reported glomerular diseases following COVID-19 vaccinations, especially mRNA vaccines, along with others like membranous nephropathy.
- A global registry was created to collect anonymized data on patients with glomerular diseases suspected after vaccination, focusing on vaccination details, kidney function, and treatment outcomes.
- Results show that while IgAN and MCD have a better chance of kidney function recovery and reduced proteinuria within 4–6 months post-vaccination, causality remains unproven despite a temporal link.
Background: Collapsing glomerulopathy, characterized by marked hypertrophy and hyperplasia of the podocytes with eventual collapse of the glomerular tuft, is an important cause of end-stage renal disease. Among the many causes of collapsing glomerulopathy, autoimmune diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus, have been implicated. There are also rare reports of adult-onset Still's disease, an autoinflammatory condition characterized by fever, rash, and inflammatory arthritis being associated with collapsing glomerulopathy.
