Introduction: The aim of this study was to determine the rates of trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (TMP/SMX)-associated pseudo-elevation and true nephrotoxicity by comparison of creatinine-estimated and cystatin C-estimated GFRs (glomerular filtration rates) before and after TMP/SMX administrations.
Methods: Patients in whom serum creatinine and cystatin C were simultaneously measured are the cohort of this study. A decreasing of creatinine-estimated GFR posterior to TMP/SMX by ≥ 20% and a decreasing of cystatine C-estimated GFR posterior to TMP/SMX by ≥ 20% were defined as true nephrotoxicity. A decreasing of creatinine-estimated GFR posterior to TMP/SMX by ≥ 20% and a decreasing of cystatine C-estimated GFR posterior to TMP/SMX by < 20% were defined as pseudo-elevation.
Results: A total of 66 patients were enrolled. Within the 19 patients in whom serum creatinine and cystatin C were measured simultaneously both before and after TMP/SMX administrations, 10 patients (52.6%) had nephrotoxicity. Fewer random error and systematic bias between creatinine- and cystatine C-estimated GFR were observed after TMP/SMX than before TMP/SMX by Bland-Altman analysis.
Conclusions: Using cystatin C, we reveled TMP/SMX-associated nephrotoxicity is not uncommon. We should equally pay attention to TMP/SMX-associated nephrotoxicity and pseudo-elevation. In spite of pseudo-elevation, creatinine-estimated GFR after receiving TMP/SMX is ironically reliable as surrogate maker for renal clearance.

Lateral Posterior Method for Depth Correction while Using the Gates Protocol for GFR Estimation: Is it Comparable to the Gold Standard GFR Estimation by Plasma Sampling?
World J Nucl Med

Department of Nuclear Medicine, Sadhu Vaswani Missions Medical Complex, Pune, Maharashtra, India.
Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) estimation by Gates protocol using the gamma camera for diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA) dynamic renography has not compared well with the gold standard GFR by plasma sampling method. This is because depth of the kidneys is generally not considered. Our aim was to study whether manual depth correction using the skin to middle of kidney distance in lateral view and posterior aspect-lateral posterior method would reduce the bias in the Gates GFR as compared with the gold standard.

Calciphylaxis, beware the ophthalmic mimic: A case series.

Article Synopsis
- This text discusses two rare cases of calciphylaxis that showed eye-related issues without typical skin symptoms, aiming to increase awareness of the condition.
- The cases include a 76-year-old woman with kidney failure and anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (AION), and a 44-year-old man on dialysis with AION and central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO).
- It emphasizes the importance of recognizing calciphylaxis in kidney patients with eye problems, and suggests a temporal artery biopsy for accurate diagnosis to prevent unnecessary treatments like steroids.
External validation and reliability assessment of posterior urethral morphology on initial voiding cystourethrogram as a predictor for infants with posterior urethral valves.

Introduction: The morphology of the bladder and posterior urethra on initial voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG) in posterior urethral valve (PUV) has been proposed as a meaningful early metric for short- and long-term kidney outcomes. Here, we seek to externally validate the proposed association and assess the reliability of PUV morphology characteristics.
Materials And Methods: We reviewed our institutional database for patients managed for PUV between 2000 and 2022 and included those treated with primary ablation with at least 1 year of follow-up for kidney function.
Thermal Ablation Versus Partial Nephrectomy for cT1 Renal Mass in a Solitary Kidney: A Matched Cohort Comparative Analysis.

Background: Nephron-sparing approaches are preferred for renal mass in a solitary kidney (RMSK), with partial nephrectomy (PN) generally prioritized. Thermal ablation (TA) also is an option for small renal masses in this setting; however, comparative functional/survival outcomes are not well-defined.
Methods: A retrospective study of 504 patients (1975-2022) with cT1 RMSK managed with PN (n = 409)/TA (n = 95) with necessary data for analysis was performed.
