Puerarin Attenuates Podocyte Damage in Mice With Diabetic Kidney Disease by Modulating the AMPK/Nrf2 Pathway.

Int J Endocrinol

January 2025

Nephrology Department, Jiangxi Provincial Key Research Laboratory of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Key Research Laboratory of Chronic Renal Failure, Affiliated Hospital of Jiangxi University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Nanchang, Jiangxi 330006, China.

This study aimed to investigate the potential mechanisms of puerarin in alleviating diabetic nephropathy (DKD) in mice. The DKD model was induced by multiple low-dose injections of streptozotocin (STZ) and a high-sugar and high-fat diet in male C57BL/6J mice. After confirming the onset of DKD, mice were given irbesartan, distilled water, or different concentrations of puerarin (40 and 80 mg/kg/d) by gavage for 8 weeks.

Objective: The C-reactive protein/Lymphocyte Ratio (CLR) is a novel biomarker whose role in the development of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is not well understood. This study aimed to investigate the correlation between CLR and the prevalence of CKD.

Methods: This cross-sectional study included participants from the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey conducted between 1999 and 2010.

Case-control study on long-term kidney outcomes in very low birth weight infants: impact of growth restriction and maternal preeclampsia.

Objective: To identify factors, particularly neonatal acute kidney injury, associated with an increased risk of developing chronic kidney disease (CKD) within the first 10 years of life in children with a history of prematurity and very low birth weight (VLBW).

Methods: This nested case-control study was conducted on VLBW infants (> 500 g and < 1.500 g) born between 2012 and 2022.

Background: Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic heavy metal present in environment that has potential to instigate renal toxicity. Didymin (DDM) is a natural flavone, which shows anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and antiapoptotic nature. Therefore, the current study was formulated to appraise attenuative potential of DDM against Cd instigated nephrotoxicity.

Neurofilament light chain - Can it be measured in urine?

Clin Chim Acta

January 2025

Department of Clinical Biochemistry, Aarhus University Hospital, Palle Juul Jensens Boulevard 99 8200 Aarhus N, Denmark; Department of Clinical Medicine, Aarhus University 8000 Aarhus C, Denmark.

Objective: This exploratory study investigates if neurofilament light chain (NfL) is excreted in the urine and whether this depends on plasma NfL (pNfL) levels and kidney function in terms of eGFR and U-albumin-creatinine ratio (uACR).

Methods: Using a computer algorithm, we identified excess urine and plasma from routine testing of uACR and eGFR in patients 45-50 years old. Up to 17 paired urine-plasma samples in each of six categories of kidney function defined by uACR and eGFR were analysed for NfL, and the urinary NfL-creatinine ratio (uNCR) was calculated to correct for urine dilution.
