AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Masitinib mesylate is a tyrosine-kinase inhibitor approved for the treatment of nonresectable or recurrent, Grade 2 or 3 mast cell tumors in dogs. This report describes nephrotic syndrome and acute kidney injury attributed to masitinib and illustrates the need for regular monitoring of serum creatinine concentration, urinalysis, and urine protein:creatinine ratio during its use.

Nephrotic syndrome (NS) represents a prevalent syndrome among various chronic kidney disease pathologies and is known for its higher severity and worse prognosis compared with chronic glomerulonephritis. Understanding its pathogenesis and identifying more effective treatment modalities have long been a concern of kidney specialists. With the introduction of the gut-kidney axis concept and the progress in omics technologies, alterations in the gut microbiota have been observed in primary and secondary NS.

We present the first case of complete remission of nephrotic syndrome in a 55-year-old man with MCD-IgAN after the administration of targeted-release formulation of budesonide (TRF-budesonide). The patient's treatment with TRF-budesonide, even though methylprednisolone, mycophenolate mofetil, and cyclophosphamide had been previously tried, is of particular importance because it not only suggests that TRF-budesonide appears to be a promising treatment for MCD-IgAN but may also provide a new therapeutic option for patients with podocytopathies.

National Institute for Drug Clinical Trial, Beijing Tongren Hospital, Capital Medical University, No.1 Dongjiaominxiang Road, Beijing, 100730, China.
Background: Idiopathic Nephrotic Syndrome (INS) is a common kidney disease in children, and the main clinical manifestations are hypoproteinaemia, proteinuria, hyperlipidaemia, and oedema. Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) are involved in tissue repair, protection against fibrosis, and immune modulation but have rarely been studied in INS.
Objective: This study aimed to explore the therapeutic potential of stem cells derived from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHEDs) in INS using an adriamycin-induced nephropathy (AN) rat model.

Objectives: To determine incidence and risk factors for hypertension in childhood nephrotic syndrome.
Study Design: Using data from the Insight into Nephrotic Syndrome (INSIGHT) study, a prospective observational childhood nephrotic syndrome cohort from Toronto, Canada, we evaluated hypertension incidence and time-to-hypertension overall and stratified by 1) steroid-resistance or steroid-sensitivity, and 2) frequently-relapsing, steroid dependent, or infrequently-relapsing. Hypertension was defined as stage 1-2 hypertensive blood pressure on two consecutive visits or anti-hypertensive medication initiation.
Investigation of the Potential Material Basis and Mechanism of Astragali Radix Against Adriamycin-Induced Nephropathy Model Rat by H NMR and MS-Based Untargeted Metabolomics Analysis.

Astragali Radix (AR) is one of the monarch drugs of Fangji Huangqi decoction and has the effects of inducing diuresis to alleviate edema, tonifying and strengthening the body. However, there is a paucity of research regarding the effective fraction and the underlying metabolic mechanism of AR on nephrotic syndrome (NS). This work aims to elucidate the potential mechanisms of AR treating NS, as well as to identify effective part and components.
