Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is characterized by gradually progressive renal failure and proteinuria. Various types of nondiabetic kidney diseases may superimpose on DN, and affect the natural course, prognosis, and management. Collapsing glomerulopathy (CG) is a form of glomerular proliferative injury, characterized by rapid progression and associated with poor prognosis. CG may be idiopathic or secondary to other causes, and it has also been described with other forms of glomerular diseases. The association of CG with DN has not been reported widely. We report on a patient with DN who has undergone renal biopsy due to massive proteinuria and rapid loss of renal function. Renal biopsy was suggestive of CG superimposed on DN. He was treated conservatively, however, progressed to end-stage renal disease rapidly.

Collapsing glomerulopathy associated with parvovirus B19 and systemic lupus erythematosus in a patient with APOL1 high-risk variant for nephropathy.

Collapsing glomerulopathy (CG) has a severe course typically associated with viral infections, especially HIV and parvovirus B19, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), among other etiologies. A 35-year-old woman with recent use of a JAK inhibitor due to rheumatoid arthritis presented with a 2-week history of fever, cervical adenopathy, and facial erythema. After admission, anemia, hypoalbuminemia, proteinuria, and severe acute kidney injury were noted.

Minimal Change Disease and Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis Are Associated with Good Kidney Prognosis and Thrombotic Microangiopathy with Poor Kidney Survival in Patients with COVID-19-Associated Nephropathies.

Article Synopsis
- * Among 94 patients, most were male and half had a history of hypertension; commonly observed kidney issues included collapsing glomerulopathy (CG), focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), and thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA).
- * Results indicated that FSGS and minimal change disease (MCD) were linked to better kidney survival compared to TMA, underscoring differences in kidney complications resulting from COVID-19 within this patient group.

Article Synopsis
- * A review of 14 studies, covering 159 patients, showed that direct viral infection isn't the primary cause of kidney damage; instead, factors like specific genotypes among patients of African descent contribute to conditions like collapsing glomerulopathy.
- * Understanding COVID-19-related kidney problems is crucial for developing better treatment strategies and preventing chronic kidney disease, but more research is needed to grasp the long-term effects.

Background: Podocytopathies, including minimal change disease (MCD), focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), and collapsing glomerulopathy (CG), are kidney diseases that damage glomerular podocytes, leading to heavy proteinuria and nephrotic syndrome (NS). Inflammation plays a critical role in the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD), with recent studies linking inflammatory biomarkers to declining kidney function. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), an essential inflammatory cytokine, interacts with its circulating receptors, TNFR1 and TNFR2.
