Objectives: The relationship between thyroid status and renal function has been well characterized. However, renal function is affected by various factors, including sex and dysglycemia. Because these studies have yet to be undertaken in a normoglycemic population, this study sought to explore the association between thyroid and renal function in large population of normoglycemic euthyroid adults.
Design: Population-based cross-sectional survey.
Patients: A total of 8,418 normoglycemic euthyroid participants were recruited after excluding individuals with thyroid dysfunction (thyrotropin, TSH < 0.47 mU/L, TSH ≥ 5.0 mU/L) or dysglycemia (fasting glucose ≥100 mg/dL).
Measurements: Anthropometric measurements were collected, and creatinine, TSH, and fasting glucose levels were evaluated. Renal function was determined by the estimated glomerular filtration rate (e-GFR) calculated using the simplified Modification of Diet in Renal Disease formula.
Results: TSH levels were inversely correlated with e-GFR. After adjustment for confounding factors, multivariate analysis revealed that TSH remained an independent factor of e-GFR in both genders (beta = -1.512 in males and -1.685 in females), and TSH was an independent factor of chronic kidney disease (OR = 1.28, 95% CI = 1.021-1.604).
Conclusions: TSH is an independent factor for determining renal function and chronic kidney disease in normoglycemic euthyroid adults.

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.

The field of the with no lysine kinases (WNKs) regulation of the thiazide-sensitive NaCl cotransporter (NCC) began at the start of the century with the discovery that mutations in two members of the family, WNK1 and WNK4, resulted in a condition known as Familiar Hyperkalemic Hypertension (FHHt). Since FHHt is the mirror image of Gitelman's syndrome that is caused by inactivating mutations of the SLC12A3 gene encoding NCC, it was expected that WNKs modulated NCC activity and that the increased function of the cotransporter is the pathophysiological mechanism of FFHt. This turned out to be the case.

Background: Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols have gained widespread acceptance as a means to enhance surgical outcomes. However, the intricate care required for kidney transplant recipients has not yet led to the establishment of a universally recognized and dependable ERAS protocol for kidney transplantation.
Objective: We devised a customized ERAS protocol to determine its effectiveness in improving surgical and postoperative outcomes among kidney transplant recipients.
