Background: Patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD) undergoing hemodialysis are at increased risk for infection and impaired vaccination responses. We analyzed overlap and influencing factors of vaccination responses against severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus disease 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and Hepatitis B virus (HBV).
Methods: SARS-CoV-2 and HBV vaccination response was assessed in a cohort of German ESRD hemodialysis patients.
Japanese encephalitis (JE) is a mosquito-borne infectious disease caused by the Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV). There is currently no effective treatment for JE, and all approved Japanese encephalitis vaccine products originated from the JEV genotype III (GIII). In recent years, JEV genotype I (GI) has gradually replaced GIII as the dominant genotype, and a new symptom of peripheral nerve injury (PNI) caused by JEV NX1889 strain has attracted wide attention, in which JEV envelope (E) protein may be involved in early peripheral nerve injury.

Background: Nephrology referral has been recognized as a modifiable factor influencing patient outcomes. The study aimed to compare clinical outcomes among patients referred early versus late to nephrologists.
Methods: We searched online database from inception to June 1, 2022, to obtain all eligible literature reporting outcomes of patients referred early versus late to nephrologists.

Introduction: The low incidence of intradialytic hypotension (IDH) in high-volume (HV) hemodiafiltration (HDF) may help in maintaining gut perfusion during treatment. Preservation of gut endothelial integrity would limit or prevent bacterial translocation and subsequent systemic inflammation, which may contribute to the low mortality rate in HV-HDF.
Methods: Forty patients were cross-over randomized to standard (hemodialysis [HD]) (S-HD), cool HD (C-HD), and HDF (low-volume [LV] and HV, convection volume (CV) of 15 L and ≥ 23 L per session, respectively), each for 2 weeks.

Introduction: Complement 3 glomerulopathy (C3G) and primary immune complex membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (IC-MPGN) have high risks for disease recurrence and allograft loss in transplant kidneys. Pegcetacoplan (targeted complement 3 [C3]/C3b inhibitor) may prevent excessive deposition of C3 and complement 5 [C5] breakdown products and associated renal damage.
Methods: NOBLE (NCT04572854) is a prospective, phase 2, multicenter, open-label, randomized controlled trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of pegcetacoplan in posttransplant patients with recurrent C3G or IC-MPGN.
