Moderate levels of endogenous reactive oxygen species (ROS) are important for various cellular activities, but high levels lead to toxicity and are associated with various diseases. Levels of ROS are maintained as a balance between oxidants and antioxidants. Accumulating data suggest that oxidative stress is a major factor in deterioration of renal function. In this review, we highlight the possible...

Extracellular vesicles (EVs), such as exosomes and microvesicles, are cell-derived lipid bilayer membrane particles, which deliver information from host cells to recipient cells. EVs are involved in various biological processes including the modulation of the immune response, cell-to-cell communications, thrombosis, and tissue regeneration. Different types of kidney cells are known to release EVs under physiologic as well as pathologic conditions,...

Background: Fabry disease is a rare X-linked genetic lysosomal disorder caused by mutations in the GLA gene encoding alpha-galactosidase A. Despite some data showing that profibrotic and proinflammatory cytokines and oxidative stress could be involved in Fabry disease-related renal injury, the pathogenic link between metabolic derangement within cells and renal injury remains unclear. Methods: Renal fibrosis was triggered by unilateral ureteral...
- Effect of estimating equations for glomerular filtration rate on novel surrogate markers for renal outcome

Backgrounds: Recently, alternative surrogate endpoints such as a 30% or 40% decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) or eGFR slope over 2 to 3 years have been proposed for predicting renal outcomes. However, the impact of GFR estimation methods on the accuracy and effectiveness of surrogate markers is unknown. Methods: We retrospectively enrolled participants in health screening programs at three...

Background: The development of acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is associated with a high risk of death. Published data demonstrate the possibility of severe kidney injury in patients suffering from COVID-19. However, these data are still controversial. Methods: A total of 1,280 patients with a proven diagnosis of COVID-19 were included in our study. COVID-19...

Background: Cardiovascular disease causes significant morbidity and mortality in patients with glomerulonephritis, which is increasingly diagnosed in older individuals who may have diabetes mellitus (DM). We evaluated the impact of DM on metabolic profile, renal and cardiovascular outcomes during treatment and follow-up of individuals with glomerulonephritis. Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study of 601 consecutive adults with biopsy-proven glomerulonephritis for...

Background: FRMD3 polymorphisms has suggested that they could be an alternative test to differentiate diabetic nephropathy (DN) from nondiabetic renal disease (NDRD) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) patients. This study was performed to investigate the relationship between the FRMD3 gene and clinical characteristics of DN. Methods: Patients who already had renal pathologic results were tested for FRMD3 polymorphisms. The subjects...

Background: As industrialization and urbanization are accelerating, the distribution of green areas is decreasing, particularly in developing countries. Since the 2000s, the effects of surrounding greenness on self-perceived health, including physical and mental health, longevity, and obesity have been reported. However, the effects of surrounding green space on chronic kidney disease are not well understood. Therefore, we investigated the impact...

Background: Recurrent glomerulonephritis (GN) is a common cause of allograft loss in kidney transplantation (KT), the most frequent of which is immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy (IgAN). Galactose-deficient IgA1 (Gd-IgA1) plays a major role in the pathophysiology of IgAN, but the association between Gd-IgA1 and recurrent IgAN in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) is uncertain. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of...
