Peritoneal fibrosis (PF) is a pathological change that occurs mostly long-term peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients, as a result of triggering the inflammatory response. Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) is an important molecule featured in the development of fibrosis. It has been shown in literature that PAI-1 gene alterations are associated with fibrosis in many tissues and organs.

Materials And Methods: Group 1 included 24 patients who had end-stage renal disease secondary to amyloidosis. Group 2 (the control group) included 24 consecutive patients who had kidney disease secondary to various causes other than amyloidosis.
Background: Prevalence and characteristics of non-diabetic renal diseases (NDRD) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus is different between populations, and seems to be largely dependent on biopsy policies.
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.

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.
