    De Novo Membranous Nephropathy following Kidney Transplantation: A Consequence of Humoral Alloimmune Response? () -  Mar 13, 2025 - Abstract #NKFSCM2025NKF_SCM_1021;    
    Because of the persistence of severe proteinuria, patient was given 2 doses of rituximab 1 g each at 2 weeks apart with response awaited.Results Unlike recurrent MN, KTRs who develop de novo MN are younger, and test negative for anti-PLA2RA as in our case...The development of de novo MN in stem-cell transplant recipient with graft vs. host disease supports this hypothesis. Prognosis of de novo MN is less favorable than recurrent MN with higher risk for graft failure.

    Case of Bevacizumab-induced Microangiopathy Masquerading as an Immune Complex Disorder () -  Mar 13, 2025 - Abstract #NKFSCM2025NKF_SCM_891;    
    The patient remained on maintenance pembrolizumab.Conclusion The evaluation of proteinuria in cancer patients receiving targeted therapies can present a diagnostic challenge. Although biopsy initially suggested an immune complex disorder requiring immunosuppression, the clinical picture better aligned with bevacizumab-associated TMA, confirmed by improvement after its discontinuation despite continuation of checkpoint inhibitor and lack of immunosuppression.

    Hydralazine-induced Lupus Syndrome (HILS) () -  Mar 13, 2025 - Abstract #NKFSCM2025NKF_SCM_704;    
    Losartan and empagliflozin were held outpatient...Given the absence of lupus nephritis in a recent biopsy & the unlikely involvement of kidneys in DIL, worsening kidney function was attributed to the progression of CKD.Results Hydralazine is a useful second-line antihypertensive but with serious adverse effects & is best used sparingly in the lowest effective doses and duration. Management of DIL includes discontinuing the causative agent and a brief course of steroids along with supportive measures as needed.Conclusion This case highlights the non-specific presentation in patients with HILS-related pericarditis and the need for constant vigilance

    Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis in Behcets Disease () -  Mar 13, 2025 - Abstract #NKFSCM2025NKF_SCM_674;    
    Three months later the patient continues to be on infliximab, colchicine and losartan with a well-controlled BD stable renal function SC 1.1 mg/dl, Urine studies showing UACR 402 mg/g and no signs of hematuria.Results Determining whether the patient has secondary FSGS related to BD is challenging, as they are still on infliximab, which can both cause and treat FSGS. While only a few cases of renal involvement with FSGS in BD exist, we highlight the need to consider this association for early detection in patients with BD.Conclusion The patient's history of BD and treatment with immunosuppressive therapy highlights the complexity of diagnosing secondary FSGS, particularly when treatment regimens may influence renal pathology.

    Recurrent IgA Nephropathy (IgAN) In A Transplant Recipient Managed With Targeted-Release of Budesonide and Dapagliflozin () -  Mar 13, 2025 - Abstract #NKFSCM2025NKF_SCM_642;    
    His creatinine has remained between 1.3-1.6mg/dL throughout his post transplant course.Results Traditional systemic corticosteroids are frequently limited by significant side effects, but can be mitigated by TR-budesonide, which targets Peyer's patches in the small intestine to reduce systemic exposure. This patient was successfully managed with TR-budesonide along with losartan and Dapa.Conclusion Tarpeyo is not currently approved for post-transplant IgAN, and its role in this context warrants further research.

    Chronic Thrombotic Microangiopathy: Conservative Management vs. Complement Inhibitor Therapy  () -  Mar 13, 2025 - Abstract #NKFSCM2025NKF_SCM_621;    
    The patient began treatment with losartan and dapagliflozin, significantly improving his proteinuria. Over ten months, his kidney function has remained stable, suggesting conservative management may be an effective approach for treating chronic TMA of unknown cause compared to complement-targeted therapy.

    Renal Vein Thrombosis as Initial Presentation of PLA2R-Positive NSAID-Associated Membranous Nephropathy () -  Mar 13, 2025 - Abstract #NKFSCM2025NKF_SCM_516;    
    Anticoagulation, losartan, atorvastatin, dietary sodium restriction, and diuretics were initiated...The patient developed an allergic reaction during Rituximab infusion thus he was continued on cyclosporin...Although similar cases of MN have been reported with PLA2R-positivity, the target antigen is not known in most cases. A recent study suggests a novel protein proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 6 (PCSK6) as the likely target antigen.

    Paging Nephrology: A Case of Page Kidney Caused by Spontaneous Rupture of a Hemorrhagic Cyst () -  Mar 13, 2025 - Abstract #NKFSCM2025NKF_SCM_471;    
    Labetalol was eventually replaced by Losartan 50 mg daily and blood pressures remained at goal...Rupture of renal cysts constitutes less than 1% of the published cases.Conclusion Renal cyst rupture can rarely result in subcapsular hematoma and page kidney. This entity causes hyperreninemic hypertension and is best treated with renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors.

    The strategy integrates iron carbonyl (FeCO), an anti-cancer agent, and losartan (Lo), a drug that degrades tumor matrix, into a biodegradable nanomaterial-mesoporous polydopamine (MPDA)...The (Lo + FeCO)@MPDA@CAFM-PTP nanomedicine demonstrated significant cytotoxicity against Panc-1 cells in vitro and effectively inhibited PC tumor growth in vivo. This innovative approach holds great promise for advancing pancreatic cancer treatment.

    The results indicated that high-dose PS are more effective than low-dose PS and Losartan potassium (LP) in reducing renal fibrosis, restoring function, and modulating oxidative stress and inflammation, with no significant differences between high-dose Stig and ?-Sito treatments...The present findings indicate that both Stig and ?-Sito activate mitophagy via the PINK1/Parkin pathway and modulate the gut microbiota, thereby alleviating renal fibrosis. The findings provide solid and significant implications for developing effective application of PS supplementation in the management of CKD, presenting novel concepts and approaches for research and clinical treatment.

    The released Vad and damaged tumor DNA activated immune responses through the cGAS-STING pathway, while the elevated expression level of PD-L1 promoted the anti-tumor effect of BMS-1. Significant degradation of collagen fibers, restoration of immune effector cells, and lower tumor volume were observed in this integrated triple drug sequential therapy, which provides a promising prospect for TNBC treatment.

    In addition, the proposed method uses instrumentation with low acquisition, operation, and maintenance costs and enables rapid determination of NDMA in sartan drugs with great sensitivity, reproducibility, and stability. As the proposed SWASV-BDDE-SAP method does not use chemical pretreatment of samples, such as derivatization and/or extraction with reagents and/or organic solvents, it can be considered a promising eco-friendly alternative for determining NDMA in routine analysis, thus contributing to green analytical chemistry.

    Review, Journal:  The effectiveness of antioxidant agents in delaying progression of diabetic nephropathy: A systematic review of randomized controlled trials. (Pubmed Central) -  Feb 18, 2025   
    Antioxidant agents that inhibit diabetic nephropathy can be classified as single antioxidants (silymarin, baicalin, epigallocatechin gallate, vitamin E, selenium, curcumin, ?-lipoic acid, and tocotrienol-rich vitamin E) and combined antioxidants (?-lipoic acid with vitamin B6, and resveratrol with losartan)...These agents contribute to reducing markers of oxidative stress and hyperglycemia-induced inflammation. Although several antioxidants play a role in reducing fibrosis markers, the effect does not appear to be statistically significant.

    ASL was used in the Reducing Pathology in Alzheimer's Disease through Angiotensin TaRgeting (RADAR) multi-centre trial to pilot the assessment of the effects of the anti-hypertension drug losartan on cerebral blood flow (CBF)...When accounting for this effect in data analysis, we show that it is still possible to combine ASL data across sites to observe the expected relationships between grey matter CBF and cognitive scores. In summary, ASL can provide useful information relating to CBF difference in multi-centre therapeutic trials, but care must be taken in data analysis to account for the inevitable inter-site differences in scanner type and acquisition protocol.
