The Association Between Stress‐Induced Hyperglycemia Ratio and Increased Urinary Albumin Excretion in Patients With Hypertension: A Population‐Based Study

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR), a novel marker reflecting relative hyperglycemia, has been increasingly recognized for its prognostic value in cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. However, its association with early renal damage in hypertensive patients remains underexplored.

Efficient delivery of small RNAs to podocytes in vitro by direct exosome transfection

Journal of Nanobiotechnology
Background Podocytes are a crucial component of the glomerular filtration barrier, and changes in their 3D structure contribute to over 80% of chronic kidney disease (CKD) cases.

Human Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cell–Derived Exosomes Attenuate Renal Fibrosis by Suppressing Fibroblast Activation via the INHBA/PI3K/AKT Pathway

Pediatric Discovery, EarlyView.
MSC‐Exo derived from human umbilical cord (HucMSC‐Exo) downregulates INHBA expression, consequently modulating the PI3K/AKT signaling cascade. This regulation attenuates renal fibroblast activation and extracellular matrix deposition, thereby exerting a renoprotective effect against fibrosis.

From cytokine storm to renal scarring in diabetic kidney disease: Biomarkers, risk stratification, and precision therapeutics

Precision Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
Hyperglycemia‐driven cytokine activation initiates a sustained inflammatory cascade in diabetic kidney disease, promoting cellular injury and fibrogenic signaling. Integrating cytokine‐based biomarkers with risk stratification enables precision therapeutics that target inflammation and fibrosis, ultimately aiming to halt progression from early renal ...

Insulin Increases Expression of TRPC6 Channels in Podocytes by a Calcineurin-Dependent Pathway

Cellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 2016
Background/Aims: Insulin signaling to podocytes is relevant for the function of the glomerulus. Now, we tested the hypothesis that insulin increases the surface expression of canonical transient receptor potential canonical type 6 (TRPC6) channels in ...

Gut microbiota dysbiosis and Long COVID susceptibility in chronic kidney disease

VIEW, EarlyView.
This study investigated gut microbiota dysbiosis and its association with Long COVID susceptibility in 224 hemodialysis patients. We found that 35.3% of patients developed Long COVID, characterized by neurological symptoms and elevated inflammatory markers, accompanied by significant gut microbiota alterations including enriched proinflammatory taxa ...

Crystalline podocytopathy and tubulopathy without overt glomerular proteinuria in a patient with multiple myeloma

Kidney Research and Clinical Practice, 2016
Crystalline nephropathy is a rare yet well-known condition associated with multiple myeloma and other light chain–secreting disorders. Paraproteins that are resistant to proteolysis crystallize within proximal tubular cells and cause light-chain proximal

Renal‐vascular axis: unmasking its role in vascular endothelial growth factor‐inhibitor vascular toxicity in cancer patients

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Vascular toxicity is a growing concern in cancer patients receiving vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitor (VEGFi) therapy, posing a significant threat to patient prognosis. While the primary mechanism of VEGFi‐induced vascular toxicity is linked to redox‐sensitive reactions that disrupt vascular tone, leading to hypertension and ...
