Changes of serum lipids and lipoproteins were determined quantitatively before and after haemodialysis in chronic uraemic patients. Serum beta-lipoprotein significantly decreased due to haemodialysis, while alpha-lipoprotein and the FFA level significantly increased. Slight correlations were observed between the applied transmembrane pressure and the serum concentration of FFA, HDL-cholesterol or total cholesterol levels. Hyper-beta-lipoproteinemia was found in 70.9 per cent and Frederickson-HLP in 33.3% of the haemodialyzed chronic uraemic patients.

Rapidly Progressive Glomerulonephritis Associated With Anti-glomerular Basement Membrane Disease: A Rare Diagnosis.
Cureus
December 2024
Medicine, Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade do Porto (FMUP), Porto, PRT.
Anti-glomerular basement membrane disease is a rare small vessel vasculitis caused by the deposition of immunoglobulin G (IgG) autoantibodies in the basement membrane of glomerular capillaries and lung alveoli, leading to rapidly progressive renal failure and/or alveolar hemorrhage. We report the case of an 83-year-old female patient presenting with uremic symptoms, rapidly progressive kidney failure, and a high titer of anti-glomerular basement membrane antibodies. Given the urgent need for kidney replacement therapy, the substantial fibrosis and glomerular scarring observed in the kidney biopsy suggesting a chronic process, and the absence of pulmonary involvement, neither immunosuppressive treatment nor plasmapheresis was initiated, since a low likelihood of a favorable response to these interventions was expected.

Tacrolimus (TAC)-induced chronic nephrotoxicity (TAC nephrotoxicity) is a serious issue for long-term graft survival in kidney transplantation. However, the pathophysiology of TAC nephrotoxicity remains unclear. In this study, we analyzed whole blood samples from mice that developed TAC nephrotoxicity in order to discover its mechanism.

Epidemiological studies suggest an increased risk of colorectal cancer (CRC) aggravation in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Our previous study demonstrated that indoxyl sulfate, a uremic toxin whose concentration increases with CKD progression, exacerbates CRC through activation of the AhR and Akt pathways. Consequently, indoxyl sulfate has been proposed to be a significant link between CKD progression and CRC aggravation.

Background: In patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), trimethylamine n-oxide (TMAO) accumulation exacerbates inflammation and contributes to oxidative stress. These complications are putatively linked to the development of cardiovascular diseases. Despite the known associations, the variation in TMAO plasma levels across different CKD stages and dialysis modalities remains underexplored.
