Patients with analgesic nephropathy are reported to have a higher risk of atherosclerosis. One possible reason for this is a high incidence of hyperlipaemia in patients with analgesic nephropathy. In a retrospective study, serum cholesterol and serum triglyceride concentrations of patients with analgesic nephropathy and moderately restricted renal function were significantly higher compared to a control group with other renal diseases of similar age and degree of renal insufficiency. Hyperlipaemia in analgesic nephropathy is not explained by end-stage renal failure on one side or protein loss as in nephrotic syndrome on the other side. Some possible mechanisms for hyperlipaemia in analgesic nephropathy are discussed.

Modification of RNF183 via m6A Methylation Mediates Podocyte Dysfunction in Diabetic Nephropathy by Regulating PKM2 Ubiquitination and Degradation.

Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a prevalent complication associated with diabetes in which podocyte dysfunction significantly contributes to the development and progression of the condition. Ring finger protein 183 (RNF183) is an ER-localized, transmembrane ring finger protein with classical E3 ligase activity. However, whether RNF183 is involved in glomerular podocyte dysfunction, which is the mechanism of action of DKD, is still poorly understood.

Introduction: To investigate the effect of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) in patients with severe acute kidney injury (AKI) by using Nafamostat Mesilate (NM). Methods. Eighty patients with AKI who underwent CRRT from March 2022 to January 2022 were divided into control group (n = 40, treated with unfractionated heparin) and Observation group (n = 40, treated with NM).

Background: Pruritus is a common skin symptom manifesting with an unpleasant sensation and desire to itch and scratch. Pruritis can be a hallmark of many skin diseases as well as other non cuatneous diseases.
Aim Of The Study: To compare the efficacy of gabapentin versus narrow band UVB versus combination of both in treatment of uremic pruritus.
Risk of hematologic malignancies in psoriasis and rheumatoid arthritis patients using long term TNF-α inhibitors: a retrospective nationwide study.

Department of Biomedical Sciences, Seoul National University Graduate School, Seoul, Republic of Korea.
This retrospective cohort study included all user of tumor necrosis factor-α inhibitors (TNFi), including etanercept, infliximab, adalimumab, and golimumab, among Korean patients with psoriasis and rheumatoid arthritis (N of user = 7,645) and the non-user who was diagnosed with same diseases, never used TNFi, and was served as the reference. Cumulative usage of TNFi was calculated between the newly diagnosed date and index date (2-year from the diagnosed date). Adjusted hazard ratio (aHR [95% confidence intervals (CIs)]) for colorectal, liver, lung, kidney, breast, and thyroid cancer were not significantly increased or decreased: 0.

Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University, Xi'an, Shaanxi, China.
Background: Curcumin has been shown to inhibit renal fibrosis, but whether curcumin mediates renal fibrosis progression by regulating the circular RNA (circRNA)-related pathway remain unclear.
Methods: TGF-β1 was used to construct renal injury and fibrosis cell model. Cell growth was evaluated by cell counting kit 8 assay, EdU assay and flow cytometry.
