Chronic kidney disease is defined as a progressive loss of kidney function associated with impaired recovery after acute kidney injury. Renal ischemia-reperfusion (IR) induces oxidative stress and inflammatory responses leading to severe tissue damage, where incomplete or maladaptive repair accelerates renal fibrosis and aging. To investigate the role of the purinergic P2Y2 receptor (P2Y2R) in these processes, we used P2Y2R knockout (KO) mice subjected to IR.

Acute Kidney Injury Following the Ingestion of a Medicinal Plants' Mixture: A Case Report.

Case Rep Nephrol

December 2024

Department of Nephrology, CHU Bab El-Oued Hopital Mohamed Lamine Debaghine, Algiers, Algeria.

Acute renal failure secondary to medicinal plants is common in countries where the use of traditional phytotherapy is preponderant. Although the nephrotoxic potentials of some herbal preparations have been well characterized, the use of many medicinal plants is still considered largely safe, often relying on weak evidence. Here, we report the case of a 17-year-old patient with severe acute renal failure, associated to an esophagitis with erosive gastritis as well as an inflammatory anemia, with no obvious etiology.

Multi-stain deep learning prediction model of treatment response in lupus nephritis based on renal histopathology.

Kidney Int

December 2024

Department of Pediatrics, The First Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou, Guangdong, China. Electronic address:

The response of the kidney after induction treatment is one of the determinants of prognosis in lupus nephritis, but effective predictive tools are lacking. Here, we sought to apply deep learning approaches on kidney biopsies for treatment response prediction in lupus nephritis. Patients who received cyclophosphamide or mycophenolate mofetil as induction treatment were included and the primary outcome was 12-month treatment response, complete response defined as 24h urinary protein under 0.

Chronic Kidney Disease of Unknown Etiology: A Global Health Threat in Rural Agricultural Communities-Prevalence, Suspected Causes, Mechanisms, and Prevention Strategies.

Pathophysiology

December 2024

Laboratory of Epidemiology and Research in Health Sciences, Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy, Sidi Mohammed Ben Abdellah University, PO 1893, Km 2200, Route Sidi Harazem, Fez 30000, Morocco.

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.

This epidemiological study aimed to identify the primary categories of kidney pathology diagnosis and their prevalence among patients admitted to Shahid Labbafinezhad Teaching Hospital. We included 1006 kidney biopsy findings from 2019 to 2022. The majority of kidney patients (78%) were between the ages of 20 and 60 years.
