How should we treat acute kidney injury caused by renal congestion?
Masanori Abe, Seiichiro Hemmi, Hiroki Kobayashi
Received September 30, 2022  Accepted October 29, 2022  
Decreased kidney function is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular events and mortality, and heart failure (HF) is a well-known risk factor for renal dysfunction. Acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients with HF often is attributed to prerenal factors, such as renal hypoperfusion and ischemia as a result of decreased cardiac output. Another such factor is reduction of absolute or...

Histologic evaluation of activity and chronicity of lupus nephritis and its clinical significance
Sung-Eun Choi, Agnes B. Fogo, Beom Jin Lim
Received April 23, 2022  Accepted May 8, 2022  
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) lupus nephritis activity and chronicity indices, which comprise six activity scores and four chronicity scores, have a long development history. The 2018 revised International Society of Nephrology/Renal Pathology Society (ISN/RPS) classification for lupus nephritis adopted the most recent NIH indices to replace subclasses A, C, and A/C. Although an evidence-based approach should further evaluate...

Kazuho Honda, Takashi Takaki, Dedong Kang
Received November 19, 2021  Accepted December 26, 2021  
Recent technical advances in the detection of backscattered electrons during scanning electron microscopy (SEM) have improved resolution and have provided several new technologies for research and clinical practice in kidney disease. The advances include three-dimensional (3D) electron microscopy (3D-EM), correlative light and electron microscopy (CLEM), low-vacuum SEM (LVSEM), and scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM). 3D-EM analysis used to be laborious,...

Ji Hye Kim, Minjung Kang, Eunjeong Kang, Hyunjin Ryu, Yujin Jeong, Jayoun Kim, Sue K. Park, Jong Cheol Jeong, Tae-Hyun Yoo, Yaeni Kim, Yong Chul Kim, Seung Seok Han, Hajeong Lee, Kook-Hwan Oh
Received September 12, 2022  Accepted November 9, 2022  
Background: The 2009 Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration creatinine-based estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFRcr) equation contains a race component that is not based on biology and may cause a bias in results. Therefore, the 2021 eGFRcr and creatinine-cystatin C–based eGFR (eGFRcr-cysC) equations were developed with no consideration of race. This study compared the cardiovascular event (CVE) and all-cause mortality and...

Vitamin D and narrowband ultraviolet B phototherapy for chronic kidney disease-associated pruritus
Youn Kyung Kee, Hee Jung Jeon, Jieun Oh, Dong Ho Shin
Received July 11, 2022  Accepted October 18, 2022  
Background: In addition to improving the serum vitamin D balance, narrowband ultraviolet B (NB-UVB) phototherapy can effectively treat chronic kidney disease-associated pruritus (CKD-aP). We investigated the degree of CKD-aP amelioration according to changes in the serum vitamin D level after NB-UVB phototherapy. Methods: This was a before–after clinical study in patients with refractory CKD-aP on hemodialysis. NB-UVB phototherapy was administered thrice...

Received May 15, 2022  Accepted August 3, 2022  
Background: Despite efforts to treat critically ill patients who require continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) due to acute kidney injury (AKI), their mortality risk remains high. This condition may be attributable to complications of CRRT, such as arrhythmias. Here, we addressed the occurrence of ventricular tachycardia (VT) during CRRT and its relationship with patient outcomes. Methods: This study retrospectively enrolled...

The flavonoid fisetin ameliorates renal fibrosis by inhibiting SMAD3 phosphorylation, oxidative damage, and inflammation in ureteral obstructed kidney in mice

Ha Young Ju, Jongwan Kim, Sang Jun Han
Received February 15, 2022  Accepted June 28, 2022  
Background: Renal fibrosis is characterized by the accumulation of extracellular matrix and inflammatory cells and kidney dysfunction, which is a major pathway in the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Accumulating evidence indicates that oxidative stress plays a critical role in the initiation and progression of CKD via proinflammatory and profibrotic signaling pathways. Fisetin (3,3′,4′,7-tetrahydroxyflavone) has biological activities including antioxidant,...

Diminazene aceturate exacerbates renal fibrosis after unilateral ureteral obstruction in female mice

Yosep Kim, Jongwan Kim, Sang Jun Han
Received February 15, 2022  Accepted June 7, 2022  
Background: Diminazene aceturate (DIZE), an angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) activator, exerts anti-inflammatory and antifibrotic effects in a variety of human chronic diseases. However, the role of DIZE in kidney fibrosis and the underlying mechanism remain unclear. Therefore, we investigated the effects of DIZE on the progression of renal fibrosis after unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO), a well-established model of chronic kidney...

Hyunsook Kim, Ae Jin Kim, Han Ro, Jae Hyun Chang, Hyun Hee Lee, Wookyung Chung, Ji Yong Jung
Received March 29, 2022  Accepted June 3, 2022  
Background: T50 is a novel serum-based marker that assesses the propensity for calcification in serum. A shorter T50 indicates a greater propensity to calcify and has been associated with cardiovascular disease and mortality among patients with chronic kidney disease. The factors associated with T50 and the correlation between T50 and bone mineral density (BMD) are unknown in hemodialysis (HD) patients....
