Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is one of the fastest growing health problems, set to become the fifth global death cause by 2040. Factors contributing to this fast growth include increased survival from other diseases (cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, etc.), population aging, lack of early CKD diagnosis tools, insufficient CKD awareness within healthcare systems, limited therapeutic armamentarium to prevent CKD progression and limitations of currently available kidney replacement therapies (KRTs).

It is known to few that the path to the discovery of the long-denied plasma creatinine and its clearance was long and difficult. For quite a long time, related controversies between different groups of researchers were widespread and heated.

Glomerular disease is an important complication in patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), impacting approximately 1%–2% of all HSCT recipients and equating to 700–1400 cases per year worldwide.

ADPKD is the most common hereditary kidney disease and a major cause of kidney failure world-wide. Significant kidney enlargement occurs decades preceding loss of kidney function.

Acute kidney injury is a common and important complication following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. In the nephrology community, acute kidney injury is no longer viewed as a simple temporary and potentially reversible decline in kidney clearance as acute kidney injury imposes a risk for immediate and future complications.

Sodium–glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) improve cardiovascular and renal outcomes in chronic kidney disease patients with and without diabetes. Kidney transplant recipients have been excluded from landmark trials using SGLT2is and literature on safety and efficacy are scarce.

Optimal patient care is directed by clinical practice guidelines, with emphasis on shared decision-making. However, guidelines—and interventions to support their implementation—often do not reflect the needs of ethnic minorities, who experience inequities in chronic kidney disease (CKD) prevalence and outcomes.

Asymptomatic hyperuricaemia (HU) is considered a pathogenic factor in multiple disease contexts, but a causative role is only proven for the crystalline form of uric acid in gouty arthritis and urate nephropathy.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) are now widely used in the treatment of many cancers, and currently represent the standard of care for multiple malignancies. These agents enhance the T cell immune response to target cancer tissues, and have demonstrated considerable benefits for cancer outcomes.

Hypertension is one of the major health problems leading to the development of cardiovascular diseases. Despite a rapid expansion in global hypertension prevalence, molecular mechanisms leading to hypertension are not fully understood largely due to the complexity of pathogenesis involving several factors.
Avoiding end-stage kidney disease in patients with anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody–associated vasculitis (AAV) has a high therapeutic priority. Although renal response is a crucial measure to capture clinically relevant changes, clinal trials have used various definitions and no well-studied key surrogate markers to predict renal outcome in AAV exist.

Various glomerular pathologies have been reported in patients who have undergone haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), but the data on clinico-pathological correlations and clinical outcome remain limited.

The clinical manifestations of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) usually appear in adulthood, however pediatric series report a high morbidity. The objective of the study was to analyze the clinical characteristics of ADPKD in young adults.

The main purpose of our study was to evaluate the ability of renal functional reserve (RFR) to stratify the risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) occurrence within 100 days of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and to predict any functional recovery or the onset of chronic kidney disease. A secondary aim was to identify the clinical/laboratory risk factors for the occurrence of AKI.

Ex vivo confocal microscopy is a real-time technique that provides high-resolution images of fresh, non-fixed tissues, with an optical resolution comparable to conventional pathology. The objective of this study was to investigate the feasibility of using ex vivo confocal microscopy in fusion mode (FuCM) and the haematoxylin and eosin (H&E)-like digital staining that results for the analysis of basic patterns of lesion in nephropathology.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients with multiple myeloma (MM) requiring renal replacement treatment (RRT) is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Early reduction of serum free light chains (FLC) using both targeted therapy against MM and intensive hemodialysis (IHD) may improve renal outcomes.
