Intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIGs) are pooled polyvalent immunoglobulin G antibodies extracted from the human plasma. Stabilizers in IVIG may include sugars, such as sucrose, glucose, or maltose. Sucrose in IVIG preparations may cause acute kidney injury (AKI). We report the case of a renal transplant patient who developed AKI due to sucrose nephropathy following the administration of sucrose-containing IVIG.

Copper is a vital cofactor in various enzymes, plays a pivotal role in maintaining cell homeostasis. When copper metabolism is disordered and mitochondrial dysfunction is impaired, programmed cell death such as apoptosis, paraptosis, pyroptosis, ferroptosis, cuproptosis, autophagy and necroptosis can be induced. In this review, we focus on the metabolic mechanisms of copper.

Background And Hypothesis: Teclistamab, a novel bispecific monoclonal antibody targeting CD3 and B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA), and chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy are promising options for treating relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (MM). However, the rates of acute kidney injury (AKI) associated with teclistamab remain inadequately characterized. This study aims to compare the incidence, severity, and outcomes of AKI between patients receiving teclistamab and CAR-T therapy.

Cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) is represented as an intricate dysfunctional interplay between the heart and kidneys, marked by cardiorenal inflammation and fibrosis. Unlike other organs, the repair process in cardiorenal injury involves a regenerative phase characterized by proliferation and polyploidization, followed by a subsequent pathogenic phase of fibrosis. In CRS, acute or chronic cardiorenal injury leads to hyperactive inflammation and fibrotic remodeling, associated with injury-mediated immune cell (Macrophages, Monocytes, and T-cells) infiltration and myofibroblast activation.
