Kidney disease remains one of the most common ailments worldwide, with cancer being one of its most common forms. Early diagnosis can significantly increase the good prognosis for the patient. The development of an artificial intelligence-based system to assist in kidney cancer diagnosis is crucial because kidney illness is a global health concern, and there are limited nephrologists qualified to evaluate kidney cancer. Diagnosing and categorising different forms of renal failure presents the biggest treatment hurdle for kidney cancer...

BACKGROUND: With rising costs and burden of chronic kidney disease (CKD), timely referral of patients to a kidney specialist is crucial. Currently, Kidney Health Australia (KHA) uses a 'heat map' based on severity and not future risk of kidney failure, whereas the kidney failure risk equation (KFRE) score predicts future risk of progression. AIMS: Evaluate whether a KFRE score assists with timing of CKD referrals. METHODS: Retrospective cohort of 2137 adult patients, referred to tertiary hospital outpatient nephrologist between 2012 and 2020, were analysed...

INTRODUCTION: Hypoxia-inducible factor-prolyl hydroxylase (HIF-PH) inhibitors, used in the treatment of renal anemia, hold the potential to increase the production of vascular endothelial growth factors. Therefore, HIF-PH inhibitors may exacerbate retinal hemorrhage in diseases such as diabetic retinopathy. Here, we present a case involving the administration of an HIF-PH inhibitor, resulting in the exacerbation of retinal hemorrhage in a patient with diabetic retinopathy. CASE PRESENTATION: A 32-year-old man with diabetes mellitus and renal anemia caused by diabetic nephropathy was referred to our department for ophthalmic examination, revealing diabetic retinopathy with scattered retinal hemorrhages, exudates, and diabetic maculopathy in both eyes...

BACKGROUND: In some jurisdictions, individuals become eligible or recommended for referral for different types of kidney care using criteria based on their estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). Historically, GFR was estimated with an equation developed in 2009, which included a Black race term. An updated, race-free equation was developed in 2021. It is unclear how adoption of the 2021 equation will influence the number of individuals meeting referral criteria to receive different types of kidney care...

INTRODUCTION: The presence of three different entities in a single patient is usually of clinical interest and mostly anecdotal. The overlap of systemic sclerosis (SSc), Sjögren syndrome (SS), and ANCA-associated renal-limited vasculitis has been reported only once previously.

BACKGROUND AND AIM: The Nephrology Department of Hassan II Hospital in Fez, Morocco, has implemented an Electronic Medical Record (EMR) system for managing patients undergoing acute hemodialysis. This initiative aims to digitize patient monitoring and enhance the management of acute dialysis within the department. Conducting strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) analysis - assessing strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats - was crucial to identifying and understanding the internal strengths and weaknesses, as well as the external opportunities and threats...

Cystinosis is a rare autosomal-recessive lysosomal storage disease that progressively affects multiple organs beginning with the kidneys. Patients require lifelong multidisciplinary care for the management of kidney disease and progressive extra-renal manifestations, and thus, they are especially fragile and vulnerable during transition from pediatric to adult care. Previous documents have provided guidance to help the medical transition of these highly burdened patients. Patients and their families often experience great psychological distress and face significant social challenges; for these reasons, they often need help from psychologists, social workers, and other psychosocial professionals...

BACKGROUND: Peritoneal dialysis (PD) offers quality of life and empowerment for persons with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). Nevertheless, the prevalence of PD is low in Belgium and Europe in general. Reimbursement, patient mix and late referral have been quoted as underlying reasons. However, to date no one-size-fits-all solution increasing uptake of PD has been successfully implemented. We aimed to understand the nephrologist's perspective, beliefs, and experiences on dialysis modality selection and to clarify underlying process-level and intrinsic motivations steering final decisions...

BACKGROUND: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a clinically heterogeneous autoimmune disease that is associated with great suffering for those affected, as well as high socioeconomic costs. Early diagnosis and adequate medical care are essential for a mild course of the disease. However, there is a lack of current figures and data on the care situation of patients in the area. METHODOLOGY: A total of 1546 general practitioners, rheumatologists, neurologists, nephrologists and dermatologists in Rhineland-Palatinate and Saarland were interviewed by fax or mail using a questionnaire regarding epidemiology, symptoms, therapy and therapy success...

BACKGROUND: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a critical complication of immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy. Since the etiology of AKI in patients undergoing cancer therapy varies, clarifying underlying causes in individual cases is critical for optimal cancer treatment. Although it is essential to individually analyze immune checkpoint inhibitor-treated patients for underlying pathologies for each AKI episode, these analyses have not been realized. Herein, we aimed to individually clarify the underlying causes of AKI in immune checkpoint inhibitor-treated patients using a new clustering approach with Shapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP)...

BACKGROUND: Tunnelled cuffed haemodialysis catheters are at increased risk of incarceration or becoming 'stuck' via fibrotic adhesion to the central veins when left in situ for prolonged periods of time. Stuck catheters cannot be removed using standard techniques such as bedside dissection of the cuff. Whilst there are several strategies published for the removal of these incarcerated lines, there is no consensus on the best approach. Here we present a challenging case of a stuck haemodialysis catheter in the acute post transplantation period...

BACKGROUND: Genomic kidney conditions often have a long lag between onset of symptoms and diagnosis. To design a real time genetic diagnosis process that meets the needs of nephrologists, we need to understand the current state, barriers, and facilitators nephrologists and other clinicians who treat kidney conditions experience, and identify areas of opportunity for improvement and innovation. METHODS: Qualitative in-depth interviews were conducted with nephrologists and internists from 7 health systems...

BACKGROUND: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication among hospitalized patients with long-term implications including chronic kidney disease (CKD). Although models are available to predict the risk of advanced CKD after AKI, there is limited evidence regarding follow-up for patients with AKI after hospital discharge, resulting in variable follow-up care. A risk-stratified follow-up approach may improve appropriateness and efficiency of management for CKD among patients at risk of declining kidney function following AKI...

We are witnessing a revolution in the treatment of metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC). Indeed, several immune-based combinations (ICI [immune checkpoint inhibitor] + ICI, or ICI + antiangiogenic agents) have been approved as first-line therapy for mRCC after demonstrating superior efficacy over the previous standard. Despite all the improvements made, safety remains a critical issue, adverse events (AEs) being the main reason for drug discontinuations or dose reductions, ultimately resulting in an increased risk of losing efficacy...

Nail-patella syndrome (NPS) is an autosomal dominant disease caused mostly by mutations in the LMX1B gene and is characterized by hypoplastic nails, hypoplastic patella, elbow deformities, glaucoma, and nephropathy, sometimes leading to kidney failure. The combination and the severity of symptoms vary greatly from patient to patient. Because a kidney biopsy may show nonspecific findings, patients with nephropathy alone may not be diagnosed without undergoing genetic testing. We examined the case of a 6-year-old girl with persistent high proteinuria who was not diagnosed by kidney biopsy but had a diagnosis of a de novo mutation in the LMX1B gene following genetic testing...
