Approximately 40% of people with type 2 diabetes (T2D) also have chronic kidney disease (CKD), which substantially increases their risk of cardiovascular (CV)-related complications and mortality. Until recently, no approved therapies have directly targeted inflammatory and fibrotic pathways that drive disease progression and organ damage in patients with CKD associated with T2D.

Lupus nephritis (LN) is a severe manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus. Standard-of-care immunosuppressive therapies achieve poor complete renal response (CRR) rates, with considerable toxicity. This article reviews voclosporin, a novel oral calcineurin inhibitor (CNI) approved for treatment in adults with active LN by the US Food and Drug Administration (the FDA) in January 2021.

Antibiotic prescription is a challenging issue in critical care settings. Different pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties, polypharmacy, drug interactions, and high incidence of multidrug-resistant microorganisms in this population can influence the selection, safety, and efficacy of prescribed antibiotics.

Persistent and excess IL-6 production often contributes to a variety of immune diseases. IL-6–targeting therapy was first approved for Castleman disease, then rheumatoid arthritis, and now it is broadly used. Furthermore, it has been approved not only for chronic and acute inflammatory diseases but also for autoantibody-induced diseases such as neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder and interstitial lung disease due to systemic sclerosis.

Several studies have reported an association between perinatal complications and the severity of the hypertensive disease. The increasing number of pregnancies complicated by hypertension and the small assurance about the perinatal effects of hypertensive drug use during pregnancy involves the need of studying the better management of hypertensive mothers.

Lamivudine is a first-line medication used for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) treatment. To date, the population pharmacokinetics of lamivudine in Chinese HIV-infected adults have not been assessed. This study aimed to develop a population pharmacokinetic model for oral lamivudine in Chinese HIV-infected adults and to determine the optimal lamivudine dosage regimens.
