Renal complications of HIV infection are clinically and morphologically diverse. These may affect the glomerular, tubulointerstitial, and vascular compartments. Tubulointerstitial injury predominates in most autopsy-based studies, whereas glomerular disease is most frequently identified in biopsy-based studies. The most common glomerular lesion is HIV-associated focal segmental glomerulosclerosis and related mesangiopathies (collectively termed HIV-associated nephropathy). Increasingly, a variety of immune complex-mediated glomerular diseases such as membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis, IgA nephropathy and lupus-like nephritis, as well as hemolytic uremic syndrome/thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura have been reported. The spectrum of tubulointerstitial lesions includes acute tubular necrosis, interstitial nephritis, diffuse infiltrative lymphocytosis syndrome, renal infection, and neoplasms including lymphoma and Kaposi's sarcoma. The pathological features of these conditions are reviewed with emphasis on clinical-pathological correlations and pathogenesis.

Background: Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is the most common subtype of kidney cancer with a high metastatic rate and high mortality rate. The molecular mechanism of ccRCC development, however, needs further study. Aurora kinase B (AURKB) functions as an important oncogene in various tumors; therefore, in the present study, we aimed to explore the mechanism by which AURKB affects ccRCC development.

The study aimed to analyze the long-term outcomes of [Lu]Lu-DOTAGA.FAPi dimer therapy in individuals diagnosed with radioiodine-resistant (RAI-R) follicular cell-derived thyroid cancer. In this retrospective study, 73 patients with RAI-R follicular thyroid carcinoma who had undergone multiple lines of previous treatments were included.

Diabetes nephropathy (DN) is a severe diabetic chronic microvascular complication and the major cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Our study aimed to investigate the effects of isoliquiritigenin (ISL) a natural flavonoid compound on DN and to explore the underlying mechanisms. The db/db mice were received intragastric treatments of ISL (5, 10, or 20 mg/kg), vehicle or positive drug metformin (300 mg/kg) once a day for 12 weeks, and the db/m mice treated with vehicle were used as controls.

Mixed epithelial and stromal tumor (MEST) of the kidney is a rare benign neoplasm composed of both stromal and epithelial components. MEST is mainly seen in adults with a strong predilection for perimenopausal women with history of hormone replacement therapy. While MEST is generally benign, there are reported cases of malignant transformation and adverse clinical outcomes.

Obesity is a rapidly growing health problem worldwide, affecting both adults and children and increasing the risk of chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension and cardiovascular disease (CVD). In addition, obesity is closely linked to chronic kidney disease (CKD) by either exacerbating diabetic complications or directly causing kidney damage. Obesity-related CKD is characterized by proteinuria, lipid accumulation, fibrosis and glomerulosclerosis, which can gradually impair kidney function.
