Recurrent renal cell carcinoma (RCC) that presents as a solitary metastasis to the bladder is extremely rare. We report our experience with two patients who presented with hematuria within 1 year of their radical nephrectomy. Both patients underwent endoscopic resection of the tumor metastasis. One patient developed a metastasis in the head of pancreas 12 months following endoscopic resection. The other patient developed bilateral femoral and spinal bone metastasis. Our aim is to report our experience, and discuss the proposed modes of spread, management and prognosis.

The survival of B cells is compromised in kidney disease.

Nat Commun

Antibody-mediated protection against pathogens is crucial to a healthy life. However, the recent SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has shown that pre-existing comorbid conditions including kidney disease account for compromised humoral immunity to infections. Individuals with kidney disease are not only susceptible to infections but also exhibit poor vaccine-induced antibody response.

AAV vectors show promise for gene therapy; however, kidney gene transfer remains challenging. Here we conduct a barcode-seq-based comparison of 47 AAV capsids administered through different routes in mice, followed by individual validation. We find that local delivery of AAV-KP1, but not AAV9, via the renal vein or pelvis effectively transduces proximal tubules with minimal off-target liver transduction, while systemic AAV9, but not AAV-KP1, enhances proximal tubule and podocyte transduction in chronic kidney disease.

Dysregulated IL-10 producing regulatory B cells (Bregs) are associated with the progression of systemic lupus erythematosus. An immunomodulatory role of heat shock proteins (HSPs) is implicated in autoimmune diseases. However, the molecular basis underlying the role of Hspa13 in regulating Bregs function and lupus pathogenesis remains unclear.

A 63-year-old woman undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD) presented to our hospital with abdominal pain, diarrhea, and cloudy PD effluent. An elevated white blood cell count in the PD effluent led to a diagnosis of PD-associated peritonitis. She was subsequently started on intraperitoneal cefazolin and ceftazidime, after which her condition improved rapidly.

T cell metabolism in kidney immune homeostasis.

Department of Nephrology, Shanghai Pudong Hospital, Fudan University Pudong Medical Center, Shanghai, China.

Kidney immune homeostasis is intricately linked to T cells. Inappropriate differentiation, activation, and effector functions of T cells lead to a spectrum of kidney disease. While executing immune functions, T cells undergo a series of metabolic rewiring to meet the rapid energy demand.
