Crohn's disease-associated IgA nephropathy may prone to better renal outcome.

Background And Aim: Renal involvement in Crohn's Disease (CD) was rare in the population. Little was known between IgA nephropathy and CD. This study aimed to investigate the differences in clinical and outcome features of CD-associated IgA nephropathy (CD-IgAN) and primary IgA nephropathy (PIgAN).

Telbivudine-induced rhabdomyolysis in a patient undergoing haemodialysis: A case report and review of literature.

Herein, we describe a case of acute rhabdomyolysis in a man in his early 50s undergoing haemodialysis and receiving the antiviral drug, telbivudine, for chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. Following diagnosis by electromyography (EMG), magnetic resonance image (MRI) scans and laboratory data (i.e.

Clinical significance of UbA52 level in the urine of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and diabetic kidney disease.

Background: Ubiquitin-52 amino acid fusion protein (UbA52) is an important factor in the pathogenesis of diabetic kidney disease (DKD) and has been suggested a potential marker in the disease. However, whether upregulation of UbA52 marks early kidney injury in T2DM mellitus (T2DM) patients remains unclear. In this study, we examine the diagnostic value of UbA52 as a biomarker in predicting early diabetic kidney disease (DKD) in T2DM patients.

The pathological and outcome characteristics of renal lesions in Crohn's disease.

Background: The inflammatory bowel disease, containing Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, was rare in the population, especially in the complication of kidney disease. A few studies had found proteinuria played a potential indicator of inflammatory bowel disease occurrence and activity. This study aimed to better define the histopathologic spectrum and study the outcome of renal disease in Crohn's disease.
