ABSTRACT This report highlights a severe manifestation of chronic kidney disease‐mineral and bone disorder (CKD‐MBD) in a hemodialysis patient: periarticular calcifications causing recurrent inflammation mimicking infection. Diagnostics excluded infections and autoimmune disorders, identifying CKD‐MBD as the cause.

Genetic diseases of renal phosphate handling [PDF]
UNLABELLED: Renal control of systemic phosphate homeostasis is critical as evident from inborn and acquired diseases causing renal phosphate wasting. At least three transport proteins are responsible for renal phosphate reabsorption: NAPI-IIa (SLC34A1 ...

Muscle magnetic resonance imaging findings in patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathies
Abstract Background Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs) are disorders that cause chronic muscle inflammation and weakness due to an autoimmune pathogenesis. Dermatomyositis (DM) is a typical IIM disorder, along with others including antisynthetic syndrome (ASS), immune‐mediated necrotizing myopathy (IMNM), overlap myositis, inclusion body ...

Achieving Medication‐Free Remission in Patients With Juvenile Dermatomyositis
Objective Prognostic factors associated with medication discontinuation in children with juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) remain largely elusive. We aim to identify the predictors of medication‐free remission (MFR) in children with JDM. Methods In this retrospective study, patients diagnosed with JDM according to Peter & Bohan criteria and followed for ...

Objective Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs) are a group of heterogeneous, systemic autoimmune diseases characterized by specific clinical features and, frequently, skeletal muscle inflammation. Specific subtypes of IIMs can be characterized by myositis‐specific autoantibodies and are associated with distinct clinical phenotypes.
