Prognostic Factors of Renal Involvement in Systemic Sclerosis [PDF]
Background/Aims: Renal involvement is common in systemic sclerosis (SSc), including asymptomatic reduction of glomerular filtration rate (GFR), increased renal resistance indices, scleroderma renal crisis (SRC) and ANCA-associated vasculitis. The aim was

Understanding how glomeruli, the kidney's filtration units, function in intact tissue remains challenging. Glomage enables rapid 3D imaging and quantitative analysis of entire glomeruli from zebrafish larvae and mice. This approach allows scalable cell quantification and detection of structural changes, advancing kidney disease research and ...

Comparative effectiveness of enalapril, lisinopril, and ramipril in the treatment of patients with chronic heart failure: a propensity score-matched cohort study [PDF]
Background: Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) are recommended as first-line therapy in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). The comparative effectiveness of different ACEIs is not known. Methods and results:

Deciphering the Impact of RAC1‐SPTAN1 in ARPKD Cystogenesis Using Multifaceted Models
Distal/connecting tubules expressing SLC8A1 have been suggested as a potential origin of ARPKD cysts. SPTAN1 has been identified as a key molecule in ARPKD cyst formation. Restoring SPTAN1 in PKHD1−/− organoids reduced cyst formation, normalized calcium levels, and decreased RAC1/c‐FOS expression, highlighting SPTAN1's role in ARPKD and the potential ...

Apolipoprotein L1 gene variants associate with prevalent kidney but not prevalent cardiovascular disease in the Systolic Blood Pressure Intervention Trial. [PDF]
Apolipoprotein L1 gene (APOL1) G1 and G2 coding variants are strongly associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD) in African Americans (AAs). Here APOL1 association was tested with baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), urine albumin ...
