Lymphocytopenia, decreased spontaneous rosette formation, and a decreased T lymphocyte count have been found in patients with non-uraemic glomerulonephritis (71 cases) and in different stages of uraemia (68 cases). In chronic glomerulonephritis and in the early stage of uraemia, cell-mediated hypersensitivity (lymphocyte migration inhibition) to glomerular basement membrane (GBM) characteristic of glomerulonephritis could be demonstrated. Hypersensitivity disappeared in the terminal stage of uraemia indicating endogenous immunosuppression.

Recovery of Myocardial Functions After Kidney Transplantation in Patients with Heart Failure Due to Uremic Cardiomyopathy.
Turk Kardiyol Dern Ars

Department of Cardiology, Istanbul Basaksehir Cam and Sakura City Hospital, Basaksehir, Istanbul, Türkiye.
Objective: Although left ventricular hypertrophy frequently accompanies end-stage renal disease, heart failure (HF) with reduced ejection fraction (EF) is also observed in a subset of patients. In those patients kidney transplantation (KT) is generally avoided due to an increased risk of mortality in addition to the risks associated with HF. This prospective study was designed to follow patients with HF who were being prepared for KT.

Background: Contradictory data are available on the possible association between sarcopenia and other clinical disorders in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) undergoing hemodialysis.
Objective: To determine the association between sarcopenia and markers associated with systemic inflammation, fasting glycemia, and quality of life in older people with CKD undergoing hemodialysis.
Methods: This was an analytical cross-sectional study.

Department of Internal Medicine, University of California Irvine Medical Center, 333 City Blvd West, Suite 500, Orange, CA, 92868, USA.
Background: Thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) is a rare, life-threatening disorder characterized by microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and end-organ damage. Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) is even less common, comprising less than 10% of hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) cases. aHUS in postpartum is associated with poor maternal outcomes, with the majority of cases resulting in end-stage renal disease.

Background And Objective: Uremic pruritus is a persistent condition that is difficult to cure in patients with end-stage renal disease who are having regular dialysis. It is highly prevalent, and current therapies have limited effectiveness and can cause significant adverse effects. Several trials have provided evidence that difelikefalin can be an effective treatment for uremic pruritus, with few side responses.

Article Synopsis
- Diabetes mellitus is a leading cause of end-stage renal disease (ESKD), often requiring patients to undergo hemodialysis (HD) due to complications like uremia.
- * Patients with diabetes who are on HD experience significant fluctuations in blood glucose levels, with both hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia contributing to increased mortality.
- * Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) is emerging as a preferred method for tracking blood glucose in these patients, as it provides real-time data with fewer confounding factors than traditional methods.
