Immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) is the most prevalent primary glomerular disease worldwide and it remains a leading cause of kidney failure. Clinical manifestations of IgA are exacerbated by infections, and emerging data suggest that aberrant mucosal immune responses are important contributors to the immunopathogenesis of this disease. However, the exact stimuli, location and mechanism of nephritis-inducing IgA production remains unclear. In this focused review we explore recent developments in our understanding of the contribution of the mucosal immune system and mucosal-derived IgA-producing cells to the development of IgAN.

Objectives: To study the significance of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25-(OH)D] level in the clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of children with immunoglobulin A vasculitis nephritis (IgAVN).
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of children with IgAVN who underwent renal biopsy at Suzhou Hospital Affiliated to Anhui Medical University and Jinling Hospital of the Medical School of Nanjing University from June 2015 to June 2020. Based on serum 25-(OH)D level, the patients were divided into a normal group and a lower group.
Background: This study aimed to explore the clinical and pathological features of patients with diabetic kidney disease (DKD), with and without non-diabetic kidney disease (NDKD), through a retrospective analysis. The objective was to provide clinical insights for accurate identification.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of 235 patients admitted to the Department of Nephrology at Hangzhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine was conducted between July 2014 and December 2022.

Phospholipase A2 receptor 1 (PLA2R1) exists in many animals and plays an important role in membranous nephropathy. In this study, we aimed to evaluate a PLA2R1 knock-in rat model with repaired kidney function to study the molecular mechanisms of membranous nephropathy. We constructed the PLA2R1 knockout [PLA2R1(-)] model and PLA2R1 knock in [PLA2R1(+)] model in rats.
