Objective: The objective of this study was to measure the 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR) polymorphism lengths in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from uremia patients.
Method: We sequenced the alternative polyadenylation sites in the 3'-UTR of PBMCs from 10 uremic patients and 10 healthy people to detect different gene expression levels between uremia patients and healthy controls. Quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction was used as validation.
Result: Compared with the healthy control group, 691 genes in uremic patients had significantly different 3'-UTR lengths. Of these genes, 475 genes showed shortened 3'-UTRs, and the 3'-UTRs of 216 genes were lengthened. The verification results matched the original sequencing results.
Conclusion: There were significant differences in 3'-UTR lengths between uremic patients and healthy controls, and analysis of the differential genes may contribute to the understanding of uremia pathogenesis.

Background: The impact of protein-bound uremic toxins, specifically indoxyl sulfate (IS) on peritoneal dialysis (PD) complications remains controversial. This study aimed to explore the link between serum total IS (tIS) levels, proinflammatory cytokines in serum and peritoneal dialysis effluent (PDE), and PD technique survival.
Methods: In this prospective cohort study, 84 patients were followed up for three years and analyzed.

Objective: To characterize early physiologic stresses imposed by surgery by applying metabolomic analyses to deeply phenotype pre- and postoperative plasma and urine of patients undergoing elective surgical procedures.
Background: Patients experience perioperative stress through depletion of metabolic fuels. Bowel stasis or injury might allow more microbiome-derived uremic toxins to enter the blood, while the liver and kidney are simultaneously clearing analgesic and anesthetic drugs.

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.

The SARS-CoV-2 virus can cause thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) by alternate pathway activation. We present a case of a young female patient who presented with fever and dialysis-dependent acute kidney injury. On evaluation, she was diagnosed with COVID-19-induced complement-mediated thrombotic microangiopathy (CM-TMA).

Introduction: The choroid plexus (CP) may play a crucial role in brain degeneration. We aim to assess whether CP cysts (CPCs), defined using ultra-high field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), relate to aging and neurodegeneration.
Methods: We used multi-sequence 7T MRI to observe CPCs, characterizing their presence and characteristics in healthy younger controls, healthy older controls (OCs), patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD), patients with Parkinson's disease (PD), and patients with uremic encephalopathy.
