Biopsy is the gold standard for diagnosing renal pathology and the procedure is required to be learned per ACGME guidelines for Nephrology Fellowship graduation. We describe the process for the planning and development of a new Nephrologist directed native renal biopsy program to increase the opportunity to train Nephrology fellows in this procedure. The article outlines the barriers, complications and lessons learned to developing the program, highlighting the key challenges and progress that has been made within a single American tertiary academic medical center.

Quantitative Assessment of the Effect of Chronic Kidney Disease on Plasma P-Tau217 Concentrations.
Neurology
February 2025
Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN.
Background And Objectives: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is known to be associated with increased plasma phosphorylated tau217 (p-tau217) concentrations, potentially confounding the utility of plasma p-tau217 measurements as a marker of amyloid pathology in individuals with suspected Alzheimer disease (AD). In this study, we quantitatively investigate the relationship of plasma p-tau217 concentrations vs estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in individuals with CKD with and without amyloid pathology.
Methods: This was a retrospective examination of data from 2 observational cohorts from either the Mayo Clinic Study of Aging or the Alzheimer's Disease Research Center cohorts.
Clinical and genetic characteristics of patients with Alagille syndrome in China: identification of six novel and mutations.

Background: Alagille syndrome (ALGS) is a rare disease. The variable clinical manifestations make the diagnosis of ALGS difficult. This study aimed to provide a basis for the early diagnosis of ALGS patients whose clinical identification is difficult and to enrich the spectrum of genetic variants implicated in Chinese children with ALGS.

Extracavitary cardiac calcific amorphous tumors/masses are extremely rare. We present a case report of a 62-year-old man with end-stage renal disease who presented with extracavitary cardiac calcific amorphous tumors/masses compressing the biventricular outflow tracts, resulting in hemodynamic compromise and progressive limitation of activities. The patient was successfully treated with surgery, with complete resolution of symptoms and markedly improved quality of life.

A 63-year-old Japanese housewife was admitted to our hospital because of hematuria and proteinuria lasting for 3 months. At the age of 59 years, she was diagnosed with neurosarcoidosis at another hospital, and she received oral glucocorticoid therapy for 1 year. Her serum angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) and 1, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D levels were elevated.
