We have described a patient with cerebral astrocytoma in whom generalized AA amyloidosis developed during the 19-year course of his disease. The accompanying nephrotic syndrome was remarkable for an 11 1/2-year remission, and the appearance of type 4 renal tubular acidosis upon its recurrence.

Time-restricted feeding reduces cardiovascular disease risk in obese mice.
JCI Insight

Division of Nephrology, The University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, United States of America.
Disrupted feeding and fasting cycles as well as chronic high fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity are associated with cardiovascular disease risk factors. We designed studies that determined whether two weeks of time-restricted feeding (TRF) intervention in mice fed a chronic HFD would reduce cardiovascular disease risk factors. Mice were fed a normal diet (ND; 10% fat) ad libitum or HFD (45% fat) for 18 weeks ad libitum to establish diet-induced obesity.

Introduction: Phenotypic heterogeneity and unpredictability of individual disease progression present enormous challenges in ultrarare renal ciliopathies. The tubular-derived glycoprotein, Dickkopf-related protein 3 (DKK3) is a promising biomarker for kidney fibrosis and prediction of kidney function decline. Here, we measured urinary DKK3 (uDKK3) levels in 195 pediatric patients with renal ciliopathy to assess its potential as a discriminative and prediction marker.

Tumour-induced osteomalacia (TIO) is an uncommon, debilitating disorder often characterised by non-specific clinical manifestations, posing a significant diagnostic challenge. The tumours causing TIO can be minuscule and occur in unusual areas, further complicating diagnosis. This report details the case of a woman in her early 30s presenting with chronic pain who subsequently developed fragility fractures.

The interaction between renal intrinsic cells and macrophages plays a crucial role in the onset and progression of kidney diseases. In recent years, epigenetic mechanisms such as DNA methylation, histone modification, and non-coding RNA regulation have become essential windows for understanding these processes. This review focuses on how renal intrinsic cells (including tubular epithelial cells, podocytes, and endothelial cells), renal cancer cells, and mesenchymal stem cells influence the function and polarization status of macrophages through their own epigenetic alterations, and how the epigenetic regulation of macrophages themselves responds to kidney damage, thus participating in renal inflammation, fibrosis, and repair.

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether RIPK3-mediated programmed cell death can promote the replication and transmission of renal infectious bronchitis virus in renal tubular epithelial cells. Primary renal tubular epithelial cells were extracted from 1 to 7 day old Hy-Line Brown chicks, cultured in vitro by type I collagenase digestion, and infected with 1MOI SX9 strain. Cell samples were collected at 12 hpi, 24 hpi, 36 hpi and 48 hpi for experimental exploration.
