The increased cancer incidence in patients with glomerular disease can be secondary to an intrinsic immune dysfunction associated with the disease or/and extrinsic factors, especially immunosuppressants. The treatment for paraneoplastic glomerulopathy is different from primary glomerular disease. Immunosuppressive therapy often used for primary glomerulopathy may aggravate concomitant cancers in patients with paraneoplastic glomerulopathy. In membranous nephropathy (MN), measurement of serum circulating autoantibodies against podocyte transmembrane glycoprotein M-type phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R) and thrombospondin type 1 domain-containing 7A (THSD7A), immunohistochemical staining of kidney tissue for glomerular PLA2R, THSD7A, neural epidermal growth factor-like 1 protein (NELL-1) and specific types of immunoglobulin G (IgG) may be useful adjuncts when screening for underlying malignancies. This review addresses overall cancer risks in individuals with glomerular diseases and employment of biomarkers available for MN. We propose a scheme of screening of cancers frequently reported in the setting of glomerular disease.

Quantitative Assessment of the Effect of Chronic Kidney Disease on Plasma P-Tau217 Concentrations.
Neurology
February 2025
Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN.
Background And Objectives: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is known to be associated with increased plasma phosphorylated tau217 (p-tau217) concentrations, potentially confounding the utility of plasma p-tau217 measurements as a marker of amyloid pathology in individuals with suspected Alzheimer disease (AD). In this study, we quantitatively investigate the relationship of plasma p-tau217 concentrations vs estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in individuals with CKD with and without amyloid pathology.
Methods: This was a retrospective examination of data from 2 observational cohorts from either the Mayo Clinic Study of Aging or the Alzheimer's Disease Research Center cohorts.
Efficacy and safety of finerenone in patients with chronic kidney disease and type 2 diabetes by diuretic use: A FIDELITY analysis.
Eur J Heart Fail
January 2025
Department of Medicine, University of Chicago Medicine, Chicago, IL, USA.
Aims: This post hoc analysis aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of the non-steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist finerenone by baseline diuretic use in FIDELITY, a pre-specified pooled analysis of the phase III trials FIDELIO-DKD and FIGARO-DKD.
Methods And Results: Eligible patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and chronic kidney disease (CKD; urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio [UACR] ≥30-<300 mg/g and estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] ≥25-≤90 ml/min/1.73 m, or UACR ≥300-≤5000 mg/g and eGFR ≥25 ml/min/1.
Perceptions of Palliative Care Among Patients With Kidney Allograft Dysfunction: A Qualitative Study.
Kidney Med
December 2024
Department of Surgery, Center for Surgery and Public Health, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston, MA.
Rationale & Objective: Nearly half of kidney transplant recipients develop allograft failure within 10 years of transplantation and experience high mortality, significant symptom burden, and complex communication challenges. These patients may benefit from palliative care, but palliative care is infrequently provided in this population. This study explores palliative care perceptions and needs among patients with poorly functioning and declining kidney allografts.

Kidney Med
November 2024
Department of Medicine, University of Illinois Chicago, Chicago, IL.
Rationale & Objective: In the general population, neighborhood socioeconomic status (SES) has been found to be associated with cardiovascular risk, but this relationship has not been well studied among patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). This study seeked to evaluate the association between neighborhood SES and cardiovascular outcomes in a CKD cohort.

New Index Demonstrates Association between Social Vulnerability, Environmental Burden, and Kidney Failure Risk among Individuals with Glomerular Disease.
Clin J Am Soc Nephrol
January 2025
Department of Medicine and Pediatrics, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, NC.
Background: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Environmental Justice Index Social-Environmental Ranking (EJI-SER) combines a Social Vulnerability Module (SV) with an Environmental Burden Module (EB) to characterize cumulative environmental and social burden at the census tract level. This analysis evaluates the association between EJI-SER and kidney outcomes in glomerular disease (GD) patients.
Methods: Cure Glomerulopathy (CureGN) is an observational cohort study of adults and children with biopsy-proven GD.
