AI Article Synopsis

  • The study examined how different metabolic syndrome-body mass index (MetS-BMI) phenotypes affect the risk of developing kidney stones.
  • A total of 13,589 participants aged 20-80 from NHANES data were analyzed, and those with obesity and metabolic dysfunction showed significantly higher risks for kidney stones.
  • The findings suggest that both obesity and poor metabolic health contribute to increased kidney stone risk, highlighting the importance of assessing metabolic status for prevention.

Article Abstract

Background: This study aimed to investigate the association between different metabolic syndrome-body mass index (MetS-BMI) phenotypes and the risk of kidney stones.

Materials And Methods: Participants aged 20-80 years from six consecutive cycles of the NHANES 2007-2018 were included in this study. According to their MetS status and BMI, the included participants were allocated into six mutually exclusive groups: metabolically healthy normal weight (MHN)/overweight (MHOW)/obesity (MHO) and metabolically unhealthy normal weight (MUN)/overweight (MUOW)/obesity (MUO). To explore the association between MetS-BMI phenotypes and the risk of kidney stones, binary logistic regression was used to determine the odds ratios (ORs).

Results: A total of 13,589 participants were included. It was revealed that all the phenotypes with obesity displayed higher risks of kidney stones (OR = 1.38,  < 0.01 for MHO & OR = 1.80,  < 0.001 for MUO, in the fully adjusted model). The risk increased significantly when metabolic dysfunction coexisted with overweight and obesity (OR = 1.39,  < 0.05 for MUOW & OR = 1.80,  < 0.001 for MUO, in the fully adjusted model). Of note, the ORs for the MUO and MUOW groups were higher than those for the MHO and MHOW groups, respectively.

Conclusions: Obesity and unhealthy metabolic status can jointly increase the risk of kidney stones. Assessing the metabolic status of all individuals may be beneficial for preventing kidney stones.

Background: Belatacept is approved for the prophylaxis of organ rejection in Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-seropositive kidney transplant recipients and is associated with a risk of post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD).

Methods: Data from the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network were used to examine patterns of belatacept use, describe patient characteristics, and estimate risk of PTLD in EBV-seropositive, kidney-only transplant recipients receiving belatacept- or calcineurin inhibitor (CNI)-based immunosuppression as part of US Food and Drug Administration-mandated safety monitoring.

Results: During the study period (June 15, 2011-June 14, 2016), 94.

Collapsing glomerulopathy (CG) has a severe course typically associated with viral infections, especially HIV and parvovirus B19, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), among other etiologies. A 35-year-old woman with recent use of a JAK inhibitor due to rheumatoid arthritis presented with a 2-week history of fever, cervical adenopathy, and facial erythema. After admission, anemia, hypoalbuminemia, proteinuria, and severe acute kidney injury were noted.

Rationale: We report the efficacy of combination prednisolone and intravenous (IV) rituximab as an immunosuppressive regimen for a young male presenting with extensive venous thromboembolism including a submassive pulmonary embolism secondary to life-threatening nephrotic syndrome from very high risk anti-phospholipase-A2 receptor (PLA2R) positive membranous nephropathy. Initial treatment was with mechanical thrombectomy and anticoagulation. Thereafter, oral prednisolone was initiated to induce remission, during a period of uninterrupted anticoagulation.

Background: The use of donor kidneys with acute kidney injury (AKI) aims to expand the organ pool, but uncertainty remains regarding their outcomes across different Kidney Donor Profile Index (KDPI) groups and preservation methods.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 108 160 deceased donor kidney transplants from the OPTN database, focusing on adult recipients of kidneys from donors with or without AKI between December 2014 and December 2022. Propensity matching was used for each KDPI group (1-20, 21-59, 60-84, and 85-100), comparing donors with AKIN stages 0-1 to AKIN stages 2-3.
