Background: IgA nephropathy (IgAN) presents a challenging spectrum of outcomes, often complicated by intrarenal arterial/arteriolar lesions (IALs) in affected individuals. Despite their clinical relevance, existing criteria for classifying and assessing the severity of these lesions remain undefined. This study aimed to establish semi-quantitative assessment criteria for grading IALs and to evaluate their prognostic significance in patients with IgAN.

Introduction: Immune-complex mediated glomerulonephritis (IC-GN) has a poor prognosis and commonly leads to kidney failure This study reports 20-year experience with the long-term outcomes of 222 Iranian IC-GN patients.
Methods: This single-center historical cohort study was conducted on patients who underwent kidney biopsies from 1998 to 2018 in Hasheminejad Kidney Center (HKC). Initial demographic, clinical, laboratory, and pathology data were extracted from the glomerulonephritis registry of HKC.

To evaluate the pathological and clinical course differences between bucillamine‑induced membranous nephropathy (BCL-MN) and primary membranous nephropathy (p-MN). This retrospective cohort study included 29 BCL-MN patients and 98 p-MN patients at two hospitals from 2000 to 2019. We compared the kidney biopsy findings and clinical course between the BCL-MN and p-MN groups, focusing on pathological differences, proteinuria relapse rates, and 30% or greater decrease in the eGFR.

Introduction: C-type Natriuretic Peptide (CNP) is the third natriuretic peptide (NP) identified from the nervous system and endothelial cells. CNP is believed to be produced locally in tubular cells and glomeruli of kidneys. We aim to determine the clinical value of CNP levels at lower extremity muscle ischemia/reperfusion (I/R), kidney I/R, and both I/R models and evaluate them in laboratory practices.
