Rationale & Objective: Monoallelic predicted Loss-of-Function (pLoF) variants in IFT140 have recently been associated with an autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD)-like phenotype. This study sought to enhance the characterization of this phenotype.
Study Design: Case series.
Atrial fibrillation (AF) and heart failure (HF) often accompany each other, as they share similar risk factors and pathophysiological mechanisms. AF in patients with HF is known to increase hospitalizations and worsen prognosis. A combination of AF and HF translates into high risks of thromboembolic complications, which renders anticoagulants an important aspect of therapy for these patients.

Patients with chronic kidney disease have a high incidence of cardiovascular diseases, and autonomic dysfunction has a determinant role in the relevant declines. Physical exercise influences heart rate variability and cardiac autonomic modulation. Thus, our objective was to systematically review, with a meta-analysis, the correlation between physical exercise interventions and alterations in cardiac autonomic modulation in hemodialysis patients.

Background: IgA nephropathy (IgAN), an immune-mediated kidney disease, is particularly prevalent among individuals of East Asian ancestry. Nefecon is a novel, oral, targeted-release budesonide formulation designed to inhibit galactose-deficient IgA1 formation underlying IgAN pathophysiology. We present findings in patients with IgAN from mainland China participating in the 2-year, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, phase 3 NefIgArd trial of nefecon.
