BACKGROUND This study explored the risk factors for renal atrophy after percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL), and provides a reference for clinical prevention of renal atrophy after PCNL. MATERIAL AND METHODS According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, the clinical data of 816 patients who underwent PCNL in our hospital from May 2013 to February 2018 were retrospectively collected. Depending on whether the patient had kidney atrophy, they were divided into a renal atrophy group and a non-renal atrophy group. We collected and analyzed data on patient sex, age, kidney location, duration of disease, stone size, hydronephrosis, renal calculus position (renal ureteral junction or multiple pyelonephritis-associated stones), operation time, intraoperative blood loss, perfusion pressure, and pyonephrosis. The indicators with statistically significant differences were selected and multivariate logistic regression analysis was carried out to determine the risk factors for renal atrophy. RESULTS Among 816 patients, 49 had renal atrophy and the incidence rate was 6.01%. Univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that independent risk factors for renal atrophy after PCNL were: duration of the disease longer than 12 months (OR=4.216, P=0.003, 95% CI: 1.714, 7.354), perfusion pressure >30 mmHg (OR=3.895, P=0.001, 95% CI: 1.685, 8.912), moderate and severe hydronephrosis (OR=5.122, P<0.001, 95% CI: 1.847, 9.863), stones located at the junction of the renal pelvis (OR=3.787, P=0.001, 95% CI: 1.462, 7.654), stones located in multiple calyces (OR=4.531, P=0.014, 95% CI: 1.764, 8.196), and pyonephrosis (OR=10.143, P<0.001, 95% CI: 2.214, 16.248). CONCLUSIONS The main risk factors for renal atrophy after PCNL are: course of disease more than 12 months, moderate and severe hydronephrosis, pyonephrosis, multiple calyceal stones, stones at the junction of the renal pelvis, and intraoperative high perfusion pressure.

Objectives: To develop and validate an ultrasomics-based machine-learning (ML) model for non-invasive assessment of interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy (IF/TA) in patients with IgA nephropathy (IgAN).
Materials And Methods: In this multi-center retrospective study, 471 patients with primary IgA nephropathy from four institutions were included (training, n = 275; internal testing, n = 69; external testing, n = 127; respectively). The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator logistic regression with tenfold cross-validation was used to identify the most relevant features.

Background: To explore the knowledge, attitudes, and practice (KAP) toward sarcopenia among maintenance dialysis (MHD) patients in Anhui.
Methods: This multicenter cross-sectional study was conducted in November 2022 among MHD patients in the Anhui Province, China. A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect their demographic characteristics and KAP toward sarcopenia.

Background: Osteoporosis and sarcopenia frequently occur in patients with end-stage renal disease undergoing hemodialysis (HD), and depression is also a common mental health issue in this population. Despite the prevalence of these conditions, the interrelationships among them remain poorly understood in HD patients.
Methods: In this multicenter cross-sectional study, 858 HD patients from 7 dialysis centers were recruited.

Cystic echinococcosis, caused by Echinococcus granulosus, is a zoonotic disease with immunomodulatory properties attributed to hydatid cyst fluid (HCF). Given the immune-modulating and anti-inflammatory properties of HCF observed in other contexts, its potential therapeutic effects in diabetes remain unexplored. This study aimed to investigate the potential therapeutic effects of HCF on glycemic control, inflammatory cytokines, and tissue histopathology in a streptozotocin (STZ)-induced model of type 1 diabetes.
