Approximately 85% of kidney tumors are renal cell carcinoma (RCC). RCC commonly metastasizes to the lung, bone, and lymph nodes; however, gastric metastasis is exceedingly rare. We present an 86-year-old woman with left-sided RCC with known metastatic disease to the lungs, lymph nodes, and bone, who presented with acute blood loss anemia. After hemodynamic stabilization, esophagogastroduodenoscopy revealed a large infiltrative, polypoid, and ulcerated polyp in the gastric body. After complete polypectomy, histological examination demonstrated gastric mucosa ulcerated by clear-cell carcinoma, compatible with metastatic RCC. Our patient was successfully treated with palliative radiation to the gastric body.

Introduction: Multilocular cystic nephroma is an uncommon condition with only few cases described in the literature, although its benign nature is well-recognized.

Case Presentation: We present a case of a 28-year-old male patient who presented with a right flank pain, imaging suspected a multicystic renal cell carcinoma. A radical nephrectomy was performed view the size of the cyst and the high tumor complexity, which histology confirmed the diagnosis of multilocular cystic nephroma.

This study aimed to investigate the potential of Pichia kudriavzevii (PK), a newly discovered yeast strain, in alleviating the deleterious effects induced by aflatoxins on broilers. Eighty one-day-old broiler chicks were divided into four groups and subjected to various combinations of aflatoxin dosages at 300 μg/kg of feed alongside PK supplementation at 1 g/kg of feed. Assessment encompassed a comprehensive array of parameters including performance metrics, hepatic and renal biomarkers, interleukin concentrations, blood cell counts, hemoglobin concentration, packed cell volume, antibody response to sheep red blood cells, lymphoproliferative response to PHA-P, phagocytic response utilizing the carbon clearance assay system, as well as evaluation of oxidants and antioxidants.

Background: Cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury (CKI) represents a severe renal dysfunction characterized by DNA damage and tubular injury. Fraxetin, derived from the Chinese herb Qinpi (Fraxinus bungeana A.DOC), is recognized for its neuroprotective effects and has been used for the prevention of various diseases.

SIRT6 is known to play a protective role in several kidney diseases; however, its role in vancomycin-induced renal injury remains unclear. This study aims to confirm the role and related mechanisms of SIRT6 in vancomycin-induced renal injury. To develop a kidney damage model, mice were given vancomycin injections for seven days.
