Clinical Value of Metagenomic Next‐Generation Sequencing Versus Conventional Methods in Diagnosing Cryptococcal Infection After Kidney Transplantation

Organ Medicine, EarlyView.
This retrospective study evaluated metagenomic next‑generation sequencing (mNGS) against conventional methods (India ink, culture, antigen) for diagnosing cryptococcal infection in 16 kidney transplant recipients. mNGS showed a significantly higher positivity rate (93.8% vs 62.5%, p = 0.031) and shorter turnaround time (24 vs. 120 h, p < 0.001).

Galactose‐Deficient Immunoglobulin A1 Predicts Immunoglobulin A Nephropathy Recurrence After Kidney Transplantation: A Single‐Center Retrospective Study

Organ Medicine, EarlyView.
Serum galactose‐deficient IgA1 levels at 3 and 6 months predicted recurrent IgA nephropathy after kidney transplantation. Recipients without recurrence showed a rapid decline in galactose‐deficient IgA1 after transplantation. Early identification of recurrence risk provided a potential window for targeted post‐transplant intervention.

Impact of barometric pressure on blood pressure during dialysis: Introducing intradialytic time‐averaged cumulative systolic blood pressure (TACsBP‐inD) as a new metric

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, Volume 29, Issue 3, Page 525-534, June 2025.
Abstract Background Blood pressure is a crucial risk factor for hemodialysis patients, but the specific impact of weather factors, particularly barometric pressure, on blood pressure remains unclear. This study aims to examine the relationship between barometric pressure and blood pressure in hemodialysis patients. Methods We conducted a single‐center,
