Introduction: Chronic kidney disease accounts for part of overall health expenditure; a potential etiology is related to variations, absence or presence of some human leukocyte antigen (HLA) alleles.
Method: An analysis of HLA reports of 1965 kidney recipients with no determined etiology, and 1361 kidney donors was performed. It was carried out with Luminex based in cell flow fluorometry for the A, B, DRB1 and DQA loci. An analysis was performed with contingency tables in order to determine the odds ratio (OR) and confidence intervals (CI). Quantitative analysis was also carried out.
Results: Of the 101 alleles found, 13 showed association, 7 with risk for chronic kidney disease, with the most significant being HLA-DR17 with an OR of 3.91 (95 % CI = 2.96-5.17) and the one with the highest significance for protection being HLA-DR9, with an OR of 0.043 (95 % CI = 0.005-0.3224).
Conclusions: It is necessary to understand that kidney diseases can be associated with yet unknown immune processes, where the association of the absence or presence of any allele should be known.

Department of Nephrology, Blood Purification Research Center, the First Affiliated Hospital, Fujian Medical University, Fuzhou, People's Republic of China.
Objective: A comprehensive bioinformatics analysis was conducted to investigate potential new diagnostic biomarkers and immune infiltration characteristics associated with tubulointerstitial injury in lupus nephritis (LN), and to examine possible correlations between key genes and infiltrating immune cells.
Methods: The GSE32591, GSE113342, and GSE200306 datasets were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus database and differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified in the pooled dataset. Support vector machine-recursive feature elimination analysis and the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression model were used to screen for possible markers, and the compositional patterns of the 22 types of immune cell fractions in LN were determined using CIBERSORT.
Association between "Life's Essential 8" cardiovascular health and apparent treatment-resistant hypertension among US adults from the NHANES, 2005 to 2018.

Background: The association between healthy lifestyle and American Heart Association (AHA) Life's Essential 8 (LE8) score and apparent treatment-resistant hypertension(aTRH)remains uncertain. We aimed to explore the association between healthy lifestyle and higher LE8 score and apparent treatment-resistant hypertension in the general population.
Methods: Using NHANES data from 2005 to 2018, we included and analyzed information on 7,474 participants eligible for this study.
Incidence, Prediction, and Prevention of Fractures After Kidney Transplantation: A Systematic Review Protocol.
Can J Kidney Health Dis
December 2024
Department of Medicine, Western University, London, ON, Canada.
Background: Kidney transplant recipients are uniquely exposed to the disordered bone metabolism associated with chronic kidney disease beginning before transplantation followed by chronic corticosteroid use after transplantation. Previous efforts to synthesize the rapidly accruing evidence regarding estimation and management of fracture risk in kidney transplant recipients are outdated and incomplete.
Objective: To synthesize the evidence informing the overall incidence, patient-specific risk prediction, and methods of prevention of fractures in patient living with a kidney transplant.
Pasireotide-induced hyperglycemia in Cushing's disease and Acromegaly: A clinical perspective and algorithms proposal.
Front Endocrinol (Lausanne)

Recordati Rare Diseases, Central and Eastern Europe, Warsaw, Poland.
Pasireotide is an effective treatment for both Cushing's disease (CD) and acromegaly due to its ability to suppress adrenocorticotropic hormone and growth hormone, and to normalize insulin-like growth factor-1 levels, resulting in tumor shrinkage. However, it may also cause hyperglycemia as a side effect in some patients. The aim of this study was to review previous recommendations regarding the management of pasireotide-induced hyperglycemia in patients with CD and acromegaly and to propose efficient monitoring and treatment algorithms based on recent evidence and current guidelines for type 2 diabetes treatment.

Background: The effects of camel milk in inflammation and systemic oxidative stress of cigarette smoke (CS)-induced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) associated with small airway inflammation in rats were investigated.
Methods: 35 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into five groups: (a) control, (b) CS-exposed rats, c and (d) CS-exposed rats treated with the 4 and 8 mL/kg camel milk, and (e) CS-exposed rats treated with 1 mg/kg dexamethasone.
Results: Total and differential WBC counts, serum level of TNF- and malondialdehyde (MDA) level in serum and homogenized tissues of the heart, kidney, liver, and testicle were significantly increased, but catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and thiol levels were significantly decreased in CS-exposed rats ( < 0.
