Background: Up to 50-60% of patients with diabetes have non-diabetic kidney disease (NDKD) on kidney biopsy. Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a microvascular complication of diabetes frequently associated with diabetic nephropathy (DN). The objective of the current study was to investigate the kidney outcomes and survival in patients with biopsy diagnoses of DN and NDKD according to the presence of DR.

Renal and patient survival regarding the diagnosis of diabetic nephropathy (DN) or NDRD have not been widely studied. The aim of our study is to evaluate the prevalence of NDRD in patients with diabetes and to determine the capacity of clinical and analytical data in the prediction of NDRD.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the increasing incidence of IgA nephropathy among older adults (aged ≥65) and analyzes various clinical aspects of the disease based on a cohort of 151 patients diagnosed between 1990 and 2015.
- Researchers observed a significant rise in diagnoses over the years, with common symptoms including asymptomatic urinary issues and acute kidney injury (AKI), particularly related to hematuria.
- The study found that age, serum creatinine levels, and kidney biopsy findings were linked to worse outcomes, while treatment with specific medications showed potential benefits for survival rates.
Background: Renin-angiotensin system inhibitors (ACEI/ARB-II), diuretics and NSAIDs, a combination known as "Triple Whammy", can result in decreased glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and acute kidney injury (AKI). Objectives: To describe the incidence of AKI for each drug type and their combinations. To define the profile of patients admitted for drug-related AKI secondary to Triple Whammy drugs (AKITW), with an assessment of costs and mortality.

Renal biopsy findings exploring the molecular mechanisms of renal damage in favism have not been previously reported. We report a case of favism-associated acute kidney injury in which renal biopsy showed acute tubular necrosis and massive iron deposits in tubular cells.
