Few histological prognostic indicators for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) have been validated in diabetic patients. This biopsy-based study aimed to identify nephropathological risk factors for ESRD in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes. Histological features of 322 Chinese type 2 diabetic patients with biopsy-confirmed diabetic nephropathy (DN) were retrospectively analysed. Cox proportional hazards analysis was used to estimate the hazard ratio (HR) for ESRD. Single glomerular proteomics and immunohistochemistry were used to identify differentially expressed proteins and enriched pathways in glomeruli. During the median follow-up period of 24 months, 144 (45%) patients progressed to ESRD. In multivariable models, the Renal Pathology Society classification failed to predict ESRD, although the solidified glomerulosclerosis (score 1: HR 1.65, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.04-2.60; score 2: HR 2.48, 95% CI 1.40-4.37) and extracapillary hypercellularity (HR 2.68, 95% CI 1.55-4.62) were identified as independent risk factors. Additionally, single glomerular proteomics, combined with immunohistochemistry, revealed that complement C9 and apolipoprotein E were highly expressed in solidified glomerulosclerosis. Therefore, solidified glomerulosclerosis and extracapillary hypercellularity predict diabetic ESRD in Chinese patients. Single glomerular proteomics identified solidified glomerulosclerosis as a unique pathological change that may be associated with complement overactivation and abnormal lipid metabolism.

Article Synopsis
- Nephrology is focused on understanding the genetic causes of nephrotic syndrome (NS) to gain insights into chronic kidney disease, particularly highlighting that NS and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis are podocyte disorders.* -
- Identifying a single gene cause (monogenic diagnosis) is more likely with a positive family history and can help in family screening and reproductive counseling.* -
- Advances in genomic studies reveal a complex genetic architecture influencing NS, with potential for personalized medicine through targeted treatments, though further research is needed to confirm their effectiveness.*
Glo-In-One: holistic glomerular detection, segmentation, and lesion characterization with large-scale web image mining.

The quantitative detection, segmentation, and characterization of glomeruli from high-resolution whole slide imaging (WSI) play essential roles in the computer-assisted diagnosis and scientific research in digital renal pathology. Historically, such comprehensive quantification requires extensive programming skills to be able to handle heterogeneous and customized computational tools. To bridge the gap of performing glomerular quantification for non-technical users, we develop the Glo-In-One toolkit to achieve holistic glomerular detection, segmentation, and characterization via a single line of command.

Current research on hypertension utilizes more than fifty animal models that rely mainly on stable increases in systolic blood pressure. In experimental hypertension, grading or scoring of glomerulopathy in the majority of studies is based on a wide range of opinion-based histological changes that do not necessarily comply with lesional descriptors for glomerular injury that are well-established in clinical pathology. Here, we provide a critical appraisal of experimental hypertensive glomerulopathy with the same approach used to assess hypertensive glomerulopathy in humans.

Intravitreal vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptor blockade is used for a variety of retinal pathologies. These include age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic macular edema (DME) and central retinal vein obstruction. Reports of absorption of intravitreal agents into systemic circulation have increased in number and confirmation of depletion of VEGF has been confirmed.
