AI Article Synopsis
- Intravesical BCG therapy is used to prevent the recurrence or progression of high-grade bladder tumors and certain stages of bladder cancer.
- Renal complications from this therapy are uncommon, but they can occur, especially due to conditions like vesicoureteral reflux.
- This report details a specific case of renal granuloma following BCG treatment in a patient who also had urethral cancer on the same side.
Article Abstract
Intravesical administration of Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) is recommended to reduce the risk of recurrence or progression of carcinoma in situ, stage Ta tumors of high grade, or stage T1 tumors. Renal complications following intravesical BCG therapy are rare. The mechanism of renal granuloma formation may be related to vesicoureteral reflux. Vesicoureteral reflux after transurethral resection of bladder tumors (TURBT) has been reported to be higher when the tumor is located near the ureteral orifice. Herein, we report a case of a renal granuloma after BCG therapy with concurrent ipsilateral urethral carcinoma.

First clinical utility of sensing Ultrasound Localization Microscopy (sULM): identifying renal pseudotumors.

Renal pseudotumors, which mimic tumors on imaging, pose diagnostic challenges that can lead to unnecessary interventions. Sensing ultrasound localization microscopy (sULM) is an advanced imaging technique that uses ultrasound imaging and microbubbles as sensors to visualize kidney functional units. This study aims to investigate whether sULM could differentiate between renal pseudotumors and tumors based on the presence of glomeruli.

Background: While many studies have reported renal involvement in sarcoidosis, there is limited description of the pathological manifestations of renal sarcoidosis (RS). This study aimed to explore the standardized pathological diagnosis of RS while evaluating the relationship among pathology, clinical manifestations, and prognosis.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective, single-center study of RS in renal biopsy cases treated in our department between January 2019 and December 2023.
The pathogenesis of gout.

Gout is the most common inflammatory arthritis in adults, associated with hyperuricemia and the chronic deposition of monosodium urate (MSU) crystals. Hyperuricemia results from increased production of uric acid and decreased excretion by the kidneys and intestines. Urate excretion is regulated by a group of urate transporters, and decreased renal or intestinal excretion is the primary mechanism of hyperuricemia in most people.

Article Synopsis
- * Female Long-Evans rats were divided into groups to assess the effects of E155 on tumor development, with some receiving the dye in various doses over 40 weeks compared to control groups.
- * Results showed that higher E155 doses led to significant weight loss, renal impairment, liver dysfunction, and an increased incidence of mammary tumors, suggesting that prolonged exposure could heighten breast cancer risk.

We herein report a 69-year-old man with acute kidney injury who required dialysis after receiving a combination of three drug-induced lymphocyte stimulation test-positive drugs. A kidney biopsy showed tubulointerstitial nephritis with severe eosinophilic infiltration and numerous granuloma formations. Acute eosinophilic granulomatous tubulointerstitial nephritis was diagnosed.
