The use of inhibitors of mammalian target of rapamycin is associated with adverse pulmonary effects. Although sirolimus-related pneumonitis has been well described, reports on pneumonitis with everolimus are scarce. We report a case of everolimus-induced pneumonitis in a renal transplant recipient 5 years after initiation of everolimus treatment, and we also review the literature regarding everolimus-induced pneumonitis in renal transplant patients.

Aims/hypothesis: Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) features intrarenal inflammation, in which T cells play a part. Hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α), a key transcription factor regulating cellular responses to hypoxia, is reportedly involved in the course of inflammation. The role of HIF-1α in DKD has been investigated, but the conclusions are controversial so far.
