Case report: A pediatric case of MPO-ANCA-associated granulomatosis with polyangiitis superimposed on post-streptococcal acute glomerulonephritis

Qianhuining Kuang, Xu He, Lili Jia, Zhiqiang Zhang, Chunhong Gui, Chunlin Gao, Zhengkun Xia

Summary: An 8-year-old girl presented with vomiting, gross hematuria, and renal dysfunction. Renal biopsy confirmed endocapillary proliferative glomerulopathy and crescent formation. Further tests revealed positive myeloperoxidase anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (MPO-ANCA), and the patient developed palisaded neutrophilic and granulomatous dermatitis (PNGD), as well as granulomatous neoplasms in the orbital and paranasal sinuses. She was diagnosed with MPO-ANCA-associated granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) superimposed on post-streptococcal acute glomerulonephritis (PSAGN). Aggressive treatment including renal replacement therapy and immunosuppressive medications resulted in renal function improvement and alleviation of pain symptoms.

Kidney injury molecule 1 (KIM-1): a potential biomarker of acute kidney injury and tubulointerstitial injury in patients with ANCA-glomerulonephritis

Benoit Brilland, Charlotte Boud'hors, Samuel Wacrenier, Simon Blanchard, Jerome Cayon, Odile Blanchet, Giorgina Barbara Piccoli, Nicolas Henry, Assia Djema, Jean-Philippe Coindre, Pascale Jeannin, Yves Delneste, Marie-Christine Copin, Jean-Francois Augusto

Summary: KIM-1 is a potential biomarker for acute kidney injury and tubulointerstitial injury in ANCA-GN. Its levels are associated with the severity of renal injury and the need for kidney replacement therapy. KIM-1 expression also correlates with the amount of acute tubular necrosis and interstitial fibrosis/tubular atrophy on kidney biopsy.

Tubulointerstitial Nephritis and Uveitis Syndrome (TINU): A Case Series in a Tertiary Care Uveitis Setting

Maria Pia Paroli, Daniele Cappiello, Davide Staccini, Rosalba Caccavale, Marino Paroli

Summary: Background: Tubulointerstitial nephritis and uveitis syndrome (TINU) is a rare disorder characterized by non-granulomatous anterior uveitis associated with tubulointerstitial nephritis (TIN). In this retrospective study, clinical features of 21 TINU patients were analyzed. The majority were female, and most patients developed ocular and renal disease concurrently. Bilateral anterior uveitis was the most common ocular involvement. After treatment, significant improvements were observed in ocular signs and symptoms, as well as renal function.

MPO-ANCA-positive granulomatosis with polyangiitis and concurrent IgG4-related disease with periaortitis and tubulointerstitial nephritis: A case report of a new overlap syndrome?

Luise Kuske, Abedalrazag Khalifa, Alexander Wibisono, Jan Hinrich Braesen, Torsten Witte

Summary: Immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) and antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) are two conditions that can overlap, and a new case is reported in this study. The patient was diagnosed with both IgG4-RD and AAV based on specific clinical features and diagnostic tests. This supports the hypothesis that these two conditions are not mutually exclusive and may share a common pathophysiological pathway.

An unusual form of kidney injury without glomerulonephritis in microscopic polyangiitis: a case report

Cihan Uysal, Tugba Yilmaz, Hafsa Kocyigit, Hulya Akgun, Murat Hayri Sipahioglu

Summary: This case report describes a patient with microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) who presented with acute kidney injury and solely interstitial nephritis without glomerular injury. The patient also had interstitial pulmonary fibrosis and positive myeloperoxidase antineutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibody. The main diagnosis was MPA, and the treatment regimen was similar to that used for crescentic glomerulonephritis. Unfortunately, the patient died during induction therapy due to severe SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Urinary Cytokines Reflect Renal Inflammation in Acute Tubulointerstitial Nephritis: A Multiplex Bead-Based Assay Assessment

Laura Martinez Valenzuela, Juliana Draibe, Oriol Bestard, Xavier Fulladosa, Francisco Gomez-Preciado, Paula Anton, Ernest Nadal, Maria Jove, Josep Maria Cruzado, Juan Torras

Summary: Urinary levels of inflammation-related cytokines such as I-TAC/CXCL11, CXCL10, IL6 and MCP-1 are able to accurately distinguish patients developing ATIN from ATN and healthy individuals, potentially serving as novel non-invasive biomarkers for this disease. Combining these cytokines with blood eosinophil and urinary leukocyte counts further improves accuracy in distinguishing ATIN from ATN. Follow-up samples also showed a significant decrease in certain cytokine levels among ATIN patients.

Influenza Vaccination in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: Efficacy, Effectiveness, Safety, Utilization, and Barriers

Jackie Jia Lin Sim, Cynthia Ciwei Lim

Summary: Influenza increases morbidity and mortality in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and lupus nephritis, but vaccination is effective in preventing infection. Studies show that vaccination reduces influenza infection in SLE patients, with no significant changes in disease activity scores after vaccination. However, vaccination rates are relatively low, and barriers include lack of doctor recommendation and concerns over vaccine safety and efficacy.

Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs and Risk of Acute Kidney Injury and Hyperkalemia in Older Adults: A Retrospective Cohort Study and External Validation of a Clinical Risk Model

Cynthia Ciwei Lim, Ngiap Chuan Tan, Edmund Pek Siang Teo, Hanis Bte Abdul Kadir, Jia Liang Kwek, Yong Mong Bee, Andrew Teck Wee Ang, Su Hooi Teo, Manish Kaushik, Chieh Suai Tan, Jason Chon Jun Choo

Summary: NSAID use in older adults can lead to acute renal events, especially with systemic and long-term usage. Risk factors such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, decreased estimated glomerular filtration rate, and diuretic use also contribute to the incidence of acute kidney injury and/or hyperkalemia. The current risk prediction model for NSAID use in older adults needs further improvement.
