Certain molecules, such as GLP-1 agonists and endothelin antagonists, possess nephroprotective properties. When treating IgA nephropathy, endothelin antagonists and sibeprenlimab have shown effectiveness in slowing the progression of chronic kidney isease. Additionally, the infusion of amino acids can reduce the incidence of mild acute kidney injury following cardiac surgery.

Congenital thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (cTTP) is a thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) characterized by severe hereditary ADAMTS13 (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin type 1 motifs 13) deficiency caused by mutations. This rare autosomal recessive genetic disorder is often misdiagnosed as immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) or hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). Here, we report a 21-year-old male cTTP patient with a compound heterozygous mutation.

Renal dysfunction due to ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is a common problem after kidney transplantation. In recent years, studies on animal models have shown that exosomes derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSC-Exo) play an important role in treating acute kidney injury (AKI) and promoting tissue repair. The microneedle patch provides a noninvasive and targeted delivery system for exosomes.

Introduction: In renal transplantation, donor hepatitis C virus (HCV) status is crucial to consider when selecting a recipient given the high likelihood of transmission. We analyzed the effect of donor HCV status on post-renal transplant rejection and virologic infectious outcomes using electronic health record data from multiple US health care organizations.
Methods: Using real world data from electronic health records of renal transplant recipients, a propensity score-matched case-control study of one-year renal transplant outcomes was conducted on cohorts of HCV-negative recipients who received an organ from an HCV-positive donor (HCV D+/R-) versus from an HCV-negative donor (HCV D-/R-).

Background: Males present more frequently with anorectal abscesses than females. Factors contributing to this difference are not clear. The purpose of this study is to evaluate comorbidities and demographic features at presentation that may contribute to the male predominance in this disease process.
