Glucocorticoid effects on bone strength in children with renal diseases
Jun Aoyagi Takahiro Kanai Takane Ito Jun Odaka Takashi Saito Hiroyuki Betsui Masanori Kurosaki Tomomi Maru Takanori Yamagata
doi : 10.1111/nep.13832
Volume 26, Issue 2, February 2021, Pages: 119-125
This study examined the effects of glucocorticoids (GCs) on bone strength in children with steroid ?sensitive nephrotic syndrome and IgA nephropathy, and revealed that (a) serum alkaline phosphatase (S?ALP) is a more sensitive bone quality marker than tartrate?resistant acid phosphatase 5b (S?TRACP?5b), (b) bone mineral density loss was observed only when both S?ALP and S?TRACP?5b levels decreased, and (c) undercarboxylated osteocalcin levels do not directly reflect bone strength.
Diagnostic accuracy of fibroblast growth factor 23 for predicting acute kidney injury in patients with acute decompensated heart failure

doi : 10.1111/nep.13780
Volume 26, Issue 2, February 2021, Pages: 126-133
In this single centre cohort study, plasma FGF?23 was found to predict AKI in the setting of acute decompensated heart failure. The results could propel further research to explore this biomarker in this high risk AKI setting.
Rituximab in treatment of collapsing FSGS—A case series

doi : 10.1111/nep.13757
Volume 26, Issue 2, February 2021, Pages: 134-141
This is a retrospective study reporting the effects of Rituximab on 8 patients with the collapsing form of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis. Whilst retrospective in nature, the study suggested that rituximab might be a promising form of treatment for this condition, which is traditionally resistant to immunosuppression therapy, resulting in a remission rate of 60% with a reasonable safety profile.

There are few data on the epidemiology and pattern of practice for end?stage kidney disease from South Asia and South?East Asia. This survey covers 15 Asian countries and provide important information on how ESKD patients are managed in this part of the world.
Variability and trends over time and across centres in haemodialysis weekly duration in Australia and New Zealand

Volume 26, Issue 2, February 2021, Pages: 153-163
Patient?level characteristics such as age, sex, BMI, dialysis vintage, ethnicity rather than centre?level ones were associated with weekly duration of haemodialysis, with more variability among home? than in?centre haemodialysis patients in the Australian and New Zealand population.
Calcium?mediated parathyroid hormone suppression test in uraemic secondary hyperparathyroidism
Ting Xiang Yan Wang Tian Lan Li Zhou
doi : 10.1111/nep.13807
Volume 26, Issue 2, February 2021, Pages: 164-169
In a study on 44 patients with kidney failure on dialysis undergoing parathryoidectomy for hypercalcaemia, the parathyroid hormone?inhibition rate with intravenous calcium gluconate had a negative correlation with parathyroid mass. This interesting non?invasive test needs validation in larger studies.

This article aims to identify a cost?effective policy strategy for access to kidney replacement therapy in the Philippines, and calls on the government to consider shifting to a Peritoneal Dialysis (PD)?First strategy and support policies that promote kidney transplants among existing PD and haemodialysis patients.
Levofloxacin based non?rifampicin anti?tuberculous therapy: An effective alternative in renal transplant recipients in resource limited setting

In this single?centre study, the authors report their experience using levofloxacin instead of rifampicin for the treatment of tuberculosis after kidney transplantation. Therapy with levofloxacin appeared safe and effective, and may provide a more cost?effective treatment for post?transplant tuberculosis in financially constrained clinical settings.
Influence of end stage renal disease on CD28 expression and T?cell immunity

End stage renal disease affects specific T?cell subtypes, including CD4+CD28null and CD8+CD28null cells. Although changes in T?cell subpopulations were present before the initiation of dialysis, they were also affected by dialysis modalities, with results favouring continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis.
Advances in understanding the role of adiponectin in renal fibrosis

This review focuses on the potential renoprotective role of the adipocyte?produced protein, adiponectin, and raises awareness of how increasing adiponectin activity may provide a possible strategy for delaying or abrogating renal fibrosis. The pathways through which adiponectin mediates its anti?fibrotic effects are also detailed.
