Summary: In pediatric patients treated with levamisole to prevent relapses of INS, a rise in plasma creatinine levels has been observed, which is most likely due to impaired tubular secretion of creatinine.

Summary: Nephroprotective treatments may lead to a drop in glomerular filtration rate, which could be related to the intensity of baseline glomerular anomalies and potential treatment benefits. The study by Oshima et al. further confirms this relationship in diabetic patients with chronic kidney disease under sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibition.

Summary: Percutaneous thermal ablation (TA) could be a safe and efficient nephron-sparing treatment for renal cell carcinoma (RCCs) associated with Birt-Hogg-Dube (BHD) syndrome. The indications for ablation depend on various factors, and the involvement of a tumor board is crucial. In this study, percutaneous TA was found to be a safe and efficient treatment option for BHD syndrome-related RCCs, even in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease.

Summary: This study found a significant association between cystatin C production and the severity and mortality of COVID-19 in patients, suggesting its potential use in stratifying patients and its functional role in the host response to COVID-19.

Summary: This study identified the pdx1 mutant as a novel model for the study of DKD, showing signs of the early disease progression already in the larval stage and several selective features of later DKD in adult mutants.

Summary: The study developed a cystatin C-based equation (EKFC eGFRcys) to estimate glomerular filtration rate (GFR). This equation had similar accuracy to a creatinine-based equation (EKFC eGFRcr) and outperformed other commonly used equations. Furthermore, taking the arithmetic mean of EKFC eGFRcr and EKFC eGFRcys further improved the accuracy of GFR estimation.

Summary: Developing and validating equations for estimating glomerular filtration rate in diverse populations, including different age groups, races, and clinical conditions, is essential. Two newly developed equations for children and young adults showed better performance than recommended equations, but require further evaluation for generalizability in diverse populations.

Summary: The study found no association between urine uromodulin levels and blood pressure in children with chronic kidney disease. Further research is needed to confirm this finding in healthy pediatric cohorts.

Summary: This study retrospectively analyzed 50 patients who underwent CT-guided cryoablation for osteoid osteoma treatment, showing that this approach was safe, effective, and durable, with a high clinical success rate of 96%. The majority of patients could undergo the treatment without general anesthesia, and the pain relief was significant both in the short and long term follow-up.

Summary: This study demonstrated that subcapsular injection of shear-thinning hyaluronic acid hydrogel does not affect kidney function in a mouse model, as assessed by glomerular filtration rate measurements. The results were consistent with standard metrics of serum and urine biomarkers of injury and histological assessment of inflammation. The model developed provides a direct functional assessment of implant compatibility for the treatment of kidney disease and its impact on kidney function.

Summary: Comparing kidney transplantations from donors with acute kidney injury to those from non-AKI donors through matching, it was found that although transplantations from AKI donors had a higher incidence of delayed graft function, the overall graft function was comparable.

Summary: This study found that with advancing age, CKD regression and death were more likely than CKD progression or kidney failure. These findings have important implications for patient care and for assessing the potential effect of population aging on the burden of CKD.

Summary: The meta-analysis evaluated the impact of chronic kidney disease on short-term complications and long-term survival in patients with gastric cancer. Results showed that patients with chronic kidney disease had higher postoperative complication rates and poorer overall survival following gastrectomy.

Summary: This study assessed the association between preoperative membranous urethral length (MUL) and the risk of persistent postoperative urinary incontinence after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). The results showed that preoperative MUL measurements had no impact on urinary incontinence after 12 months post-RARP. There was poor agreement between radiologists' and urologists' measurements of MUL.
