Pathogenic variants in have previously been associated with renal coloboma syndrome. Here we present a novel variant c.68T>C associated with bilateral kidney agenesis, minimal change nephropathy, ureteropelvic junction obstruction, duplex kidney with hydronephrosis of upper pole system and bilateral kidney hypoplasia within the same family. Additionally, two family members were found to have optic nerve abnormalities further supporting the impact of the variant. This is the first report of a variant associated with bilateral kidney agenesis.

Uremic pruritus (UP) significantly compromises the quality of life in patients with end-stage renal disease undergoing peritoneal dialysis. Although the precise pathophysiological mechanisms of UP remain elusive, the thalamus, which is integral to processing sensory information, is potentially implicated in its development. This study aimed to investigate alterations in the structure and resting-state functional connectivity (rsFC) of thalamic subregions in patients with UP.

Two unique presentations of renal anatomy were observed during routine cadaveric dissection. The first case presented with an ectopic malrotated left kidney supplied by supernumerary renal arteries. This kidney was drained by a circumaortic renal vein and an inferior polar vein.

Background Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a prevalent predisposing factor for urinary tract infections (UTIs). Among hospitalized patients with acute pyelonephritis, UTIs are more common, severe, and associated with worse outcomes, particularly in those with type 2 DM. Pyelonephritis in DM patients is more frequently bilateral and linked to greater complications, with 90% of emphysematous pyelonephritis (EMPN) and cystitis cases occurring in diabetic individuals.

Background: Studies on renal vein thrombosis have been conducted as case reports or case series. The renal outcomes and mortality risk of renal vein thrombosis have not been fully established. We aimed to investigate the clinical characteristics, treatment modalities, and predictors of renal outcomes and mortality in patients with renal vein thrombosis in a large multicenter cohort.

Renal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is a common clinical factor for acute kidney injury (AKI). A current study investigated the renoprotective effects of the trinitroglycerine (TNG) combination with chitosan nanoparticles (CNPs) on renal I/R-induced AKI. Rats were randomly assigned to five groups (n = 8/group): Sham, I/R, TNG (50 mg/kg) + I/R, CNPs (60 mg/kg) + I/R, and TNG-CNPs + I/R.
