Purpose: This research aims to examine and scrutinize gender variations in the incidence of diabetic nephropathy (DN) and the trajectory of renal function in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients.
Patients And Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study that enrolled 1549 patients diagnosed with T2DM from May 2015 to July 2023. We separately compared the clinical characteristics of male and female participants with and without DN. We utilized the Kaplan-Meier method to examine the cumulative incidence of DN among T2DM patients of varying genders. Hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated using univariable and multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression analysis to evaluate the correlation between various factors and the risk of DN incidence. Multiple linear regression was utilized to investigate the relationship between ΔeGFR% and each factor. Logistic regression with cubic spline function and smooth curve fitting was employed to analyze the nonlinear link between ΔeGFR% and the risk of DN among participants of different genders.
Results: The prevalence of DN was higher in female participants (17.31%) than in male participants (12.62%), with a significant cumulative risk ratio (1.33 [1.02-1.73], = 0.034). Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that creatinine, female gender, blood urea nitrogen, alkaline phosphatase, and total cholesterol had a significant impact on ΔeGFR% in T2DM patients, with standardized β coefficients of -0.325, -0.219, -0.164, -0.084, and 0.071, respectively. The restricted cubic spline analysis demonstrated a strong negative association between ΔeGFR% and the risk of developing DN ( < 0.001).
Conclusion: Both male and female patients with T2DM had a higher prevalence of DN over the 5-year follow-up period. However, women had a greater risk of developing DN and a faster decline in renal function compared to men.

Background: Oliguric acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the critical conditions which needs emergent treatment due to the lack of the capacity of excreting toxins and fluids, and plasma membrane bleb formation is considered as one of the characteristic morphologic alterations in ischemic AKI in both animal models and human. We present here an autopsy case with clear electron microscopy images capturing a definitive instance of blebbing in ischemic AKI.
Case Presentation: A 66-year-old man was admitted for oliguric AKI with nephrotic syndrome (NS).

The existence of transmissible amyloid fibril strains has long intrigued the scientific community. The strain theory originates from prion disorders, but here, we provide evidence of strains in systemic amyloidosis. Human AA amyloidosis manifests as two distinct clinical phenotypes called common AA and vascular AA.

Background: Febuxostat and topiroxostat are non-purine selective xanthine oxidoreductase inhibitors commonly used for hyperuricaemia treatment in Japan. However, comparative data on the effects of febuxostat and topiroxostat on renal function and proteinuria are limited. This study compared proteinuria incidence and changes in the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) among prevalent febuxostat and topiroxostat users.

We describe a case of sarcoidosis in a previously healthy 39-year-old man with the development of an acute kidney injury, requiring renal replacement therapy, as the first manifestation of the disease. The course of the disease was complicated by a сatheter-associated bloodstream infection. According to the histological examination of kidney biopsy samples, granulomatous interstitial nephritis was diagnosed.
