We report a case of renal macroangiopathy occurring after transplantation in a 50-year-old woman who received a cadaveric kidney and who was immunosuppressed with cyclosporin A. Accelerated hypertension at 3 months led to renal angiography which revealed diffuse narrowing of the two main renal arteries and their intrarenal branches. The patient returned to regular haemodialysis four months post-transplantation. These angiographic cyclosporin A-ascribed findings are similar to those recently reported by Sawaya.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how plasma metabolites are linked to the progression of chronic kidney disease in individuals with type 2 diabetes, focusing on kidney function decline measured by eGFR slope.
- Researchers analyzed data from over 5,000 people, identifying specific elevated levels of lipids and amino acids that influence kidney function, both positively and negatively.
- The findings suggest that metabolite abnormalities, particularly related to fatty acids, may indicate issues with fat breakdown and are connected to the risk of worsening kidney health in diabetic patients.

Background: Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a severe complication of diabetes mellitus and is associated with an increased risk of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and cardiovascular events. Early diagnosis and monitoring of DKD are crucial for implementing appropriate interventions. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between serum renalase (RNLS) levels, DKD, and diabetic macroangiopathy in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Article Synopsis
- Diabetic patients and the elderly often experience high pulse pressure (PP), but research on how it relates to kidney damage (microangiopathy and macroangiopathy) is limited.
- A study with 408 diabetic nephropathy patients evaluated the link between PP at kidney biopsy and kidney failure requiring replacement therapy (KFRT) over a median follow-up of 6.7 years.
- Results indicated that higher PP correlates with increased KFRT risk and is significantly associated with specific kidney lesions, although not with certain types of thickening in blood vessels.

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) presents a thrombotic environment, contributing to diabetic macroangiopathy and microangiopathy. In this study, the regulation of microthrombosis in T2DM was assessed.
Methods: Platelets from T2DM patients and healthy controls were analyzed using 4D label-free proteomics and bioinformatics.

Diabetic vascular complications include diabetic macroangiopathy and diabetic microangiopathy. Diabetic microangiopathy is characterised by impaired microvascular endothelial function, basement membrane thickening, and microthrombosis, which may promote renal, ocular, cardiac, and peripheral system damage in diabetic patients. Therefore, new preventive and therapeutic strategies are urgently required.
