Mashup Score: 14Apolipoprotein E is enriched in dense deposits and is a marker for dense deposit disease in C3 glomerulopathy - 25 day(s) ago
C3 glomerulopathy (C3G) is a rare disease resulting from dysregulation of the alternative pathway of complement. C3G includes C3 glomerulonephritis (C3GN) and dense deposit disease (DDD), both of which are characterized by bright glomerular C3 staining on immunofluorescence studies. However, on electron microscopy (EM), DDD is characterized by dense osmiophilic mesangial and intramembranous deposits along the glomerular basement membranes (GBM), while the deposits of C3GN are not dense. Why the deposits appear dense in DDD and not in C3GN is not known.

Mashup Score: 64
Potassium disorders are common in patients with kidney disease, particularly in patients with tubular disorders and low glomerular filtration rate. A multidisciplinary group of researchers and clinicians met in October 2018 to identify evidence and address controversies in potassium management. The issues discussed encompassed our latest understanding of the regulation of tubular potassium excretion in health and disease; the relationship of potassium intake to cardiovascular and kidney outcomes, with increasing evidence showing beneficial associations with plant-based diet and data to suggest a paradigm shift from the idea of dietary restriction toward fostering patterns of eating that are associated with better outcomes; the paucity of data on the effect of dietary modification in restoring abnormal serum potassium to the normal range; a novel diagnostic algorithm for hypokalemia that takes into account the ascendency of the clinical context in determining cause, aligning the educati

Mashup Score: 29In memoriam: Stewart Cameron (1934–2023) - 1 month(s) ago
Each generation produces a few individuals who by dint of their efforts, opportunities, and talents rise above all of the rest. For the discipline of nephrology, Stewart Cameron was one of these rare persons—larger than life and full of joy, energy, and boundless enthusiasm, mixed with a bit of playful mischievousness. He had a keen and wide-ranging intellect, he had a broad understanding of history, and he was a master of clinical medicine, with unparalleled skills in both written and verbal communication.

Mashup Score: 8Assessment of epidemiology and outcomes of adult patients with kidney-limited thrombotic microangiopathies. - 2 month(s) ago
Thrombotic microangiopathies (TMA) are usually associated with hematological features (RH-TMA). The epidemiology of TMA limited to kidneys (RL-TMA) is unclear Therefore, patients with TMA and native kidney biopsies were identified during 2009-2022 in 20 French hospitals and results evaluated. RL-TMA was present in 341/757 (45%) patients and associated with lower creatinine levels (median 184 vs 346 μmol/L) than RH-TMA. RL-TMA resulted from virtually all identified causes, more frequently from anti-VEGF treatment and hematological malignancies, but less frequently from shigatoxin-associated hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), systemic sclerosis, gemcitabine and bacterial infection, and even less frequently when three or more causes/triggers were combined (RL-TMA: 5%; RH-TMA: 12%).
