Renal interstitial fibrosis (RIF) is a common pathway in chronic kidney disease (CKD) that ultimately leads to end-stage renal failure, worsening both glomerulosclerosis and interstitial fibrosis. Ten percent of the adult population in the world suffers from CKD, and as the ageing population continues to rise, it is increasingly regarded as a global threat-a silent epidemic. CKD has been discovered to be closely associated with both long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNAs), while the precise molecular processes behind this relationship are still unclear.

Renal Outcomes With Renin-Angiotensin System Blockers After Unilateral Nephrectomy.

Kidney Int Rep

January 2025

Division of Nephrology, Department of Medicine, Samsung Medical Center, Sungkyunkwan University School of Medicine, Seoul, Republic of Korea.

Introduction: Despite the benefits of renin-angiotensin system (RAS) blockers, their immediate use after nephrectomy has been limited because of concerns about impaired renal adaptation. We aimed to evaluate the effect of RAS blockers immediately after unilateral nephrectomy on renal adaptation.

Methods: This single-center retrospective cohort study included 580 patients who underwent elective unilateral nephrectomy between 2010 and 2020 and had preexisting hypertension with antihypertensive medications.

Introduction: Factor XI/XIa (FXI/XIa) has emerged as a potential target for antithrombotic therapy, driven by preclinical evidence showing the role of FXI/XIa inhibition for preventing thrombosis without impeding hemostasis. This is particularly promising for patients at high risk of both thromboembolic events and bleeding, such as patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) on hemodialysis (HD).

Methods: We systematically searched Embase, MEDLINE, and ClinicalTrials.

Background: The factors influencing diffuse crescentic glomerulonephritis renal survival and prognosis remain uncertain. Additionally, there's no literature on the clinical outcomes of IgA nephropathy, lupus nephritis, and IgA vasculitis nephritis in type II patients.

Methods: This study retrospectively examined 107 patients diagnosed with diffuse crescentic glomerulonephritis through biopsy.

Rationale And Objectives: Post-transarterial chemoembolization liver failure (PTLF) is a potentially fatal complication of transarterial chemoembolization (TACE). Accurate preoperative prediction of PTLF is crucial for improving patient outcomes. This study aimed to develop and validate a prediction model based on the functional liver imaging score (FLIS) to assess the risk of PTLF.
