IgG4-related kidney disease (IgG4-RKD) encompasses all forms of kidney disease that are part of IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD). First recognized as IgG4-related tubulointerstitial nephritis (IgG4-TIN), and then IgG4-related membranous glomerulonephritis (IgG4-MGN), we now recognize additional patterns of interstitial nephritis, glomerular disease, and vascular disease that can be seen as part of IgG4-RKD. The clinical presentation is variable and can include acute or chronic kidney injury, proteinuria or nephrotic syndrome, mass lesion(s), and obstruction. While usually associated with other organ involvement by IgG4-RD, kidney-alone involvement is present in approximately 20 % of IgG4-RKD. Compared to IgG4-RD overall, patients with IgG4-RKD are more likely to show increased serum IgG4 or IgG, and more likely to have hypocomplementemia. In this review, we extensively cover other types of autoimmune and plasma cell-rich interstitial nephritis, mass forming inflammatory diseases of the kidney, and other mimics of IgG4-TIN, in particular ANCA-associated disease.

Naringenin Inhibits Ferroptosis in Renal Tubular Epithelial Cells of Diabetic Nephropathy Through SIRT1/FOXO3a Signaling Pathway.

Naringenin has the potential to regulate ferroptosis and mitigate renal damage in diabetic nephropathy (DN). However, it remains unclear whether the naringenin's effects in DN are linked to its ability to regulate ferroptosis. This study investigated the potential anti-ferroptosis properties of naringenin in high glucose (HG)-induced renal tubular epithelial cell models.

Background: Depression and anxiety are commonly experienced by people with chronic kidney disease (CKD). This study aimed to evaluate person- and service-level factors associated with depression and anxiety symptoms. We sought to also understand utilisation of mental health treatments and preferences for future psychological support.

Around one-quarter of all patients undergoing cardiac procedures, particularly those on cardiopulmonary bypass, develop cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI). This complication increases the risk of several serious morbidities and of mortality, representing a significant burden for both patients and the healthcare system. Patients with diminished kidney function before surgery, such as those with chronic kidney disease, are at heightened risk of developing CSA-AKI and have poorer outcomes than patients without preexisting kidney injury who develop CSA-AKI.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is often complicated by diabetes, impacting various biochemical and immunological markers. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between irisin, apelin-13, and immunological markers IL-1α and IL-1β in diabetic patients with CKD. This cross-sectional study was conducted from January to June 2023 in a tertiary care hospital in Tikrit City, Iraq.
