Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and gout are risk factors for renal cancer. We analysed the effects of comorbid diabetic kidney disease and gout on renal cancer.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study enrolled 847 884 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) who underwent health assessments provided by the Korean National Health Insurance Service in 2009. Based on CKD occurrence (glomerular filtration rate <60 ml/min/1.73 m) and gout (two outpatient visits or one hospitalization within 5 years), patients were classified into four groups: CKDGout (87.5%), CKDGout (2.5%), CKDGout (9.3%) and CKDGout (0.7%). Patients with incident renal cancer (International Classification of Diseases code C64) were followed up until December 2018.

Results: Renal cancer was diagnosed in 2376 patients (0.3%). Renal cancer incidence increased in sequential order of CKDGout [0.29/1000 person-years (PY), CKDGout and CKDGout (0.44 and 0.48/1000 PY, respectively) and CKDGout (1.14/1000 PY). Comorbid gout increased renal cancer risk depending on CKD occurrence {hazard ratio [HR] 1.28 [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.04-1.58 among those without CKD; HR 1.95 [95% CI 1.45-2.63] among those with CKD; -value for interaction = 0.024}. The interaction was significant, particularly in men and patients with a shorter diabetes duration (<5 years) and lesser medication use (no insulin or fewer than three classes of oral hypoglycaemic agents).

Conclusions: CKD and gout individually contributed to renal cancer incidence, and the risk is further increased when gout coexists with CKD. Screening for gout and appropriate management of CKD at an early T2DM stage may be beneficial.

Background: Kidney transplantation is the ultimate treatment for end-stage kidney disease. Function of the kidney graft is not only dependent on medical factors but also on a complication-free surgical procedure. In the event of major surgical complications, the kidney graft is potentially lost and the patient will return to the waiting list which may be long.

Background: Infectious episodes contribute to morbidity and mortality in patients with anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV). Renal involvement, also known as ANCA-associated glomerulonephritis (AGN), is frequently observed in AAV. Little is known about whether co-infection at initial diagnosis is associated with renal outcome and prognosis in children with AGN.

The transsulfuration (TSS) pathway is an alternative source of cysteine for glutathione synthesis. Little of the TSS pathway in antioxidant capacity in sickle cell disease (SCD) is known. Here, we evaluate the effects of TSS pathway activation through cystathionine beta-synthase (CBS) to attenuate reactive oxygen species (ROS) and ferroptosis stresses in SCD.

Background: The pathogenesis of acute kidney injury (AKI) is not fully understood. Tax1-binding protein 1 (TAX1BP1) modulates inflammation and apoptosis through the NF-kB signaling pathway, however, its specific role in ischemic AKI remains unclear.

Methods: We injected a TAX1BP1 overexpression plasmid into the tail vein of male C57BL/6 mice, followed by clamping the bilateral renal arteries to induce AKI.

Background: Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a common malignancy, and nephrectomy is the mainstay of treatment for non-metastatic disease. The choice of surgery depends on the risks of oncologic recurrence, kidney function decline, and perioperative complications. This study aimed to identify factors associated with adverse post-operative outcomes in RCC patients undergoing nephrectomy at Townsville University Hospital (TUH).
