Several theories have been proposed to explain the development of severe acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients with minimal change nephrotic syndrome (MCNS), but the exact mechanism remains unclear. We encountered an elderly patient with biopsy-proven MCNS who suffered from oliguric AKI, which required hemodialysis at the onset and during the first relapse of nephrotic syndrome. Throughout her relapse, we were able to monitor tubular injury markers, namely, urinary N-acetyl--D-glucosaminidase and urinary alpha-1-microglobulin levels.

Kidneys have an amazing ability to adapt to adverse situations, both acute and chronic. In the presence of injury, the kidney is able to activate mechanisms such as autoregulation or glomerular hyperfiltration to maintain the glomerular filtration rate (GFR). While these adaptive mechanisms can occur in physiological situations such as pregnancy or high protein intake, they can also occur as an early manifestation of diseases such as diabetes mellitus or as an adaptive response to nephron loss.

Almost 20-40% of all patients suffering from diabetes mellitus experience chronic kidney disease, which is related to higher mortality (cardiovascular and all-cause). The implication of several pathophysiological mechanisms (hemodynamic, tubular, metabolic and inflammatory) in the pathogenesis of diabetic kidney disease generates an urgent need to develop multitarget therapeutic strategies to face its development and progression. SGLT2 inhibitors are undoubtedly a practice-changing drug class for individuals who experience type 2 diabetes and diabetic kidney disease.

Background: Acute interstitial nephritis (AIN) is a relatively rare cause of acute kidney injury (AKI) in children. Immune complex (IC) deposition was rare in renal pathology of AIN.
Methods: Based on the status and position of IC deposition, a total of 78 children with AIN were divided into two groups: the non-IC group and IC group.

Sialidosis is an ultra-rare multisystemic lysosomal disease caused by mutations in the neuraminidase 1 (NEU1) gene. The severe type II form of the disease manifests with a prenatal/infantile or juvenile onset, bone abnormalities, severe neuropathology, and visceromegaly. A subset of these patients present with nephrosialidosis, characterized by abrupt onset of fulminant glomerular nephropathy.
