...Brian J. Harvey; Diego Alvarez de la Rosa Background: Sex differences exist in kidney physiology and disease which are underpinned by the biological actions of the sex hormones estrogen, progesterone and testosterone. In this review, we present an up-to-date discussion of the hormonal and molecular...

... system, such as the farnesoid X receptor (FXR), has initiated inquiries into their organ-specific functions. Among these organs, the kidney prominently expresses FXR. Summary: This review provides a comprehensive overview of various BA species identified in kidneys and delves into the roles of renal...

...Lenar Yessayan; H. David Humes; Emily C. Scribe; Sai Prasad N. Iyer; Kevin K. Chung Introduction: NEUTRALIZE-AKI is a pivotal study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the selective cytopheretic device (SCD) in adult patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) requiring continuous kidney...

... proportional to dataset size at a given hospital, which suggests that hospitals with smaller datasets have significant room for growth with federated learning approaches. Key Messages: This short article provides an overview of federated learning, gives a use case for COVID-19-associated acute kidney injury...

...Roberto F. Nicosia Context: The clinical course of coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) can be complicated by acute kidney injury and proteinuria. Kidney cells express receptors for SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19. Direct infection of the kidney parenchyma by SARS-CoV-2 has been...

...Tianxin Yang The (pro)renin receptor (PRR) was originally cloned as a specific single-transmembrane receptor for prorenin and renin and has now emerged as a multifunctional protein implicated in a wide variety of developmental and physiopathological processes. Activation of PRR in the kidney causes...

...Almudena García-Carrasco; Adriana Izquierdo-Lahuerta; Gema Medina-Gómez There is a strong relationship between the kidney and the heart, where if one of these organs fails, so does the other, in the so-called cardiorenal syndrome (CRS). Besides, there are also interactions with the rest of the body...

.... Imaging Contrast induced Dialysis Kidney Residual renal function Acute kidney injury Iodinated contrast media (ICM) are used in the imaging of vascular structures and organs during radiographic procedures, such as computed tomography (CT) and angiography. Although invaluable for diagnostics...

...Bin Wang; Honglei Guo; Lilu Ling; Jialing Ji; Jianying Niu; Yong Gu Background: Chloroquine (CQ), a classic autophagy inhibitor, is used clinically for malaria prophylaxis and pulmonary hypertension treatment. The adverse effects of CQ on morphological and functional changes in the kidney were...

...Dennis G. Moledina; Chirag R. Parikh Background: Differentiating etiologies of acute kidney injury (AKI) is critical in determining the course of care in clinical practice. For example, acute interstitial nephritis (AIN) requires withdrawal of the offending drug and immunosuppressive therapy, while...

...Benjamin S. Freedman Context: Human kidney organoids are complex structures resembling nephron arrays, which can be derived in a variety of ways. Whether all of these differentiation protocols produce qualitatively similar organoid cell types is not yet clear. Subject of Review: A comparative...

..., implying a higher risk of adverse cardiovascular events. More recently, data related to the possible role of obesity in the risk of kidney disease in adults, independently of diabetes, has started to become more available. In children, the evidence is scarcer, but it has also been acknowledged that obesity...

Galsgaard Background/Aims: Murine nephrotoxic nephritis (NTN) is a well-established model resembling chronic kidney disease. Investigating gene expression...

...Mostafa Abdelsalam; Sherouk Salah Eldin Elnagar; Ashraf H. Mohamed; Mona Tawfik; Nagy Sayed Ahmed Aim: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a major health problem with poor patient prognosis. We evaluated the clinical characteristics, risk factors, associated comorbidities, and outcomes of AKI patients...

...Ali Poyan Mehr; Samir M. Parikh With one of the highest mitochondrial densities in the body, the kidneys consume approximately 10% of total oxygen while constituting 0.5% of body mass. Renal respiration is linear to solute extraction, linking oxidative metabolism directly to tubular function...

... and kidney fibrosis. In this study, we extend this to an assessment of transcriptional regulation of the entire TGF-β superfamily in kidneys from diabetic vs. healthy mice. In order to study the translation between mouse model and patients, we evaluated the signature of phosphorylated Sma- and Mad-related...

...Heather M. Perry; Mark D. Okusa Kidney disease affects millions of people worldwide and it is now widely accepted that many pathological processes may persist after acute kidney injury that can cause the progression to CKD. Tubulointerstitial fibrosis manifests soon after injury and while many...

...Mohammad A. Shafiee; Alexander G. Logan; Mitchell L. Halperin Background/Aims: As restful, non-interrupted sleep is essential for normal mental and physical functioning, the urine flow rate (U FR ) overnight remains low. Due to this reduced U FR , the kidneys produce a lower urine volume, which may...
