Article Synopsis
- ANCA-associated vasculitis is a severe autoimmune disease that can lead to kidney failure due to crescentic glomerulonephritis, and current treatments using non-specific immunosuppressive drugs may be insufficient and carry risks.
- Researchers analyzed kidney samples from 34 patients with ANCA-GN and identified specific inflammatory T cells that contribute to the disease, leading to the discovery of ustekinumab as a promising targeted treatment.
- In a trial, four patients with recurring ANCA-GN treated with ustekinumab and low-dose cyclophosphamide showed significant improvement in kidney function and overall health, indicating potential for this approach to be further explored in clinical settings.
Article Synopsis
- * Most research has focused on protecting brain cells, but it's important to look at the early stages of brain inflammation too.
- * Some foods, like those in the Mediterranean diet, and certain plant extracts might help reduce inflammation and support brain health, offering new ways to treat these diseases.
