A renal biopsy was performed in a 47-year-old man with haemophilia A. Thirty minutes after administration of an intravenous bolus of 4000 units of recombinant factor VIII, which increased the activity to 74-91%, a needle renal biopsy was successfully performed, followed by administration of 3000 units of factor VIII in the evening, and then the subsequent morning and evening. The patient was diagnosed with hepatitis C virus-associated membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis. Treatment with interferon, ribavirin, prednisolone and cyclosporine A improved the nephrotic syndrome. This is the first report of a successful renal biopsy in a patient with haemophilia A after factor VIII injection.

Introduction: Lung cancer ranks among the foremost causes of mortality associated with cancer. Ensartinib is a highly effective oral anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) inhibitor utilized in the treatment of ALK-positive lung adenocarcinoma. This report presents a case of acute renal failure attributed to the administration of ensartinib.

Background: Radical cystectomy (RC) combined with pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) is the standard treatment for muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). For metastatic MIBC patients, platinum-based chemotherapy remains the first choice treatment. However, approximately 50% of patients with metastatic MIBC are ineligible for platinum-based adjuvant chemotherapy because of impaired renal function.

Sarcomatoid renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is an aggressive tumour with a poor prognosis. It is not a distinct histological entity, as it can be found in any subtype of renal cell carcinoma. The majority of cases will present with advanced or metastatic disease requiring systemic treatment.

Renal pseudotumors, which mimic tumors on imaging, pose diagnostic challenges that can lead to unnecessary interventions. Sensing ultrasound localization microscopy (sULM) is an advanced imaging technique that uses ultrasound imaging and microbubbles as sensors to visualize kidney functional units. This study aims to investigate whether sULM could differentiate between renal pseudotumors and tumors based on the presence of glomeruli.

Nephrotoxicity remains a significant concern associated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors, such as dasatinib (DASA). Previous studies have shown that DASA can induce renal tubular cell death, contributing to its nephrotoxic effects. In contrast, naringenin (NGN) is known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
