Published: December 2013

Renal tubular acidosis is a common cause of normal anion gap metabolic acidosis but these disorders can be easily missed or misdiagnosed. We highlight the approach to assessing renal tubular acidosis by discussing a case study with a temporal data set collected over more than 5 weeks. We highlight the principles and the necessary information required for a diagnosis of classic distal renal tubular acidosis. We also briefly review several aspects of type 1 renal tubular acidosis related to autoimmune disease, drugs and thyroid disorders.

ERMP1 as a newly identified ER stress gatekeeper in chronic kidney disease.

Am J Physiol Renal Physiol

January 2025

Department of Cell Physiology and Metabolism, Faculty of Medicine, University of Geneva, Geneva, Switzerland.

ERMP1 is involved in the Unfolded Protein Response (UPR) pathway in response to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. Given the pivotal role of ER stress in the pathogenesis of acute and chronic kidney diseases, we hypothesized that ERMP1 could be instrumental in the development of renal injury. analysis of RNA sequencing datasets from renal biopsies were exploited to assess the expression of ERMP1 in the kidney under normal or pathological conditions.

On the substrate turnover rate of NBCe1 and AE1 SLC4 transporters: structure-function considerations.

Front Physiol

January 2025

Department of Medicine, David Geffen School of Medicine, University of California, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA, United States.

A transport protein's turnover rate (TOR) is the maximum rate of substrate translocation under saturating conditions. This parameter represents the number of transporting events per transporter molecule (assuming a single transport site) per second (s). From this standpoint, a transporter's TOR is similar to an enzyme's catalytic constant.

Backgrounds: Renal interstitial fibrosis (RIF) constitutes the ultimate pathological alteration in nearly all chronic kidney diseases (CKD). Mesenchymal stem cell conditioned medium (MSC-CM) exhibits an alleviating impact on renal fibrosis; however, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. The objective of this study was to explore whether MSC-CM regulates the expression of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), Transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), Hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α), Nuclear receptor coactivators (NCOA1), and SRY-related high mobility (Sox9).

Humic acid attenuates cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity in rats.

Drug Chem Toxicol

January 2025

Department of Histology & Embryology, Faculty of Medicine, Canakkale Onsekiz Mart University, Canakkale, Turkey.

Cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity, a major limitation of this chemotherapeutic agent, involves oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis. This study investigated the potential renoprotective effects of humic acid in a rat model of cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity. Forty-two male Wistar rats were assigned to six groups: control, humic acid, cisplatin, cisplatin + humic acid 10 mg/kg, cisplatin + humic acid 20 mg/kg, and cisplatin + humic acid 40 mg/kg.
