Chronic Kidney Disease of Unknown Etiology (CKDu) is a worldwide hidden health threat that is associated with progressive loss of kidney functions without showing any initial symptoms until reaching end-stage renal failure, eventually leading to death. It is a growing health problem in Asia, Central America, Africa, and the Middle East, with identified hotspots. CKDu disease mainly affects young men in rural farming communities, while its etiology is not related to hypertension, kidney stones, diabetes, or other known causes.

Background: Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder characterized by mutations in the TSC1 and TSC2 genes, leading to the dysregulation of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway. This dysregulation results in the development of benign tumors across multiple organ systems and poses significant neurodevelopmental challenges. The clinical manifestations of TSC vary widely and include subependymal giant cell astrocytomas (SEGAs), renal angiomyolipomas (AMLs), facial angiofibromas (FAs), and neuropsychiatric conditions such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

Introduction: To evaluate the impact of TACI fusion protein (TACI-Ig) on IgA nephropathy (IgAN) in rats, and to explore its mechanism and relationship with TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB pathway.
Method: Sprague Dawley(SD)rats were divided into six groups: control, model, TACI-Ig low dose (TACI-Ig-L), medium dose (TACI-Ig-M), high dose (TACI-Ig-H), and prednisone acetate (PAT) group. The control group and model group received physiological saline injections, while the TACI-Ig groups were administered doses of 7.
