This report describes the case of a 76-year-old man with ulcerative colitis who developed interstitial nephritis after starting 5-Aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) therapy. The patient experienced an initial improvement in symptoms, but developed fatigue, anorexia, and severe renal dysfunction 2.5 months later. Renal biopsy confirmed drug-induced interstitial nephritis, and conservative treatment with fluid replacement and the discontinuation of 5-ASA improved the patient's condition. Clinicians should monitor patients receiving 5-ASA therapy for potential adverse effects, particularly renal injury, and promptly investigate symptoms of renal dysfunction. Early recognition and discontinuation of the offending agent may prevent further damage and improve patient outcomes.

Background: Although kidney biopsy is definitive for the diagnosis of acute interstitial nephritis (AIN) and acute tubular necrosis (ATN), its invasiveness limits its use. We aimed to identify urine biomarkers for differentiating AIN and ATN and to predict the response of patients with AIN to steroid treatment.
Methods: In this prospective cohort study, biopsy-proven ATN ( = 34) and AIN ( = 55) were included.
Introduction: The Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes guidelines recognize the importance of causes of chronic kidney disease (CKD), glomerular filtration rate, and albuminuria as predictors of kidney outcome and prognosis. However, compared with biopsy-proven causes, there has been limited research regarding the relationship between clinically diagnosed causes of CKD and patient prognosis.
Methods: We examined 3,119 patients with non-dialysis-dependent CKD who participated in the Fukuoka Kidney disease Registry Study, a multicenter prospective cohort study.

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) causes progressive and irreversible damage to the kidneys. Renal biopsies are essential for diagnosing the etiology and prognosis of CKD, while accurate quantification of tubulo-interstitial injuries from whole slide images (WSIs) of renal biopsy specimens is challenging with visual inspection alone.
Methods: We develop a deep learning-based method named DLRS to quantify interstitial fibrosis and inflammatory cell infiltration as tubulo-interstitial injury scores, from WSIs of renal biopsy specimens.

Article Synopsis
- Excessive fluoride exposure can cause oxidative stress and damage metabolic organs, leading to toxicity in the liver and kidneys.
- A study was conducted on Wistar rats divided into four groups, with some receiving sodium fluoride alone and others receiving fluoride with different doses of betanin from beetroot for 90 days.
- Results showed that betanin treatment reduced markers of liver and kidney damage and improved oxidative stress indicators, suggesting it could potentially protect against fluoride-induced organ toxicity.
