Renal sarcoidosis frequently causes granulomatous interstitial nephritis, but clinically relevant nephritis is uncommon. IgA nephropathy caused by sarcoidosis is usually associated with milder stages of renal dysfunction, and only one case of rapidly progressive IgAN has been reported to date. We present an interesting case of a patient with a rapidly progressive form of IgA nephropathy caused by sarcoidosis that was successfully treated. DOI: 10.52547/ijkd.7027.

Significant developments in sensing technology have had many impacts, enhancing monitoring and assessment accuracy across diverse fields. In the field of physical therapy, sensing, which plays a pivotal role in tele-physiotherapy, rapidly expanded amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Its primary objective is to monitor biological signals and patient movements at remote locations.

The treatment of Philadelphia chromosome-positive B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ B-cell ALL) has seen substantial progress over the past two decades. The introduction of tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKIs) has resulted in dramatic improvements in long-term survival. Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT), with its curative potential, has always been an integral part of the treatment algorithm of Ph+ ALL.

Background/objectives: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is considered a serious risk to public health since its prevalence is rapidly increasing worldwide despite numerous therapeutics. Insulin resistance in T2DM contributes to chronic inflammation and other metabolic abnormalities that generate fat accumulation in the liver, eventually leading to the progression of metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD). Recently, the possibility that microbial-derived metabolites may alleviate MAFLD through enterohepatic circulation has emerged, but the underlying mechanism remains unclear.

Paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration (PCD) is a rapidly progressive, immune-mediated syndrome characterized by the degeneration of Purkinje cells, often associated with the presence of antibodies targeting intracellular antigens within these cells. These autoantibodies are implicated in the induction of cytotoxicity, leading to Purkinje cell death, as demonstrated in in vitro models. However, the precise roles of antibodies and T lymphocytes in mediating neuronal injury remain a subject of ongoing research, with T cells appearing to be the main effectors of cerebellar injury.

The association between hypopituitarism and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is increasingly recognized, although data about therapies targeting recurrence post-transplant is limited. An 8-year-old with hypopituitarism-associated MASLD underwent a liver transplant due to rapid progression of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH). Hepatosteatosis recurred within weeks.
