Diagnosis and treatment of patients with IgA nephropathy in Japan
Publication date: December 2016 Source:Kidney Research and Clinical Practice, Volume 35, Issue 4 Author(s): Yasuhiko Tomino Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a worldwide public health problem that affects millions of people from all racial and ethnic groups. Although CKD is not one specific disease, it is a comprehensive syndrome that includes IgA nephropathy. As reported by the Japanese Society of Nephrology, 13.0 million people have CKD. In Japan, major causes of end-stage kidney disease are type 2 diabetic nephropathy, chronic glomerulonephritis, especially IgA nephropathy, hypertensive nephrosclerosis, and polycystic...

Current characteristics of dialysis therapy in Korea: 2015 Registry data focusing on elderly patients
Publication date: Available online 15 October 2016 Source:Kidney Research and Clinical Practice Author(s): Dong-Chan Jin, Sung-Ro Yun, Seoung Woo Lee, Sang-Woong Han, Won Kim, Jongha Park Due to increases in the elderly population and diabetic patients, the proportion of elderly among dialysis patients has rapidly increased during the last decades. The mortality and morbidity of these elderly dialysis patients are obviously much higher than those of young patients, but large analytic studies about elderly dialysis patients’ characteristics have rarely been published. The registry committee of the Korean Society o...

Pulmonary Vein Isolation Alone and Combined with Renal Sympathetic Denervation in Chronic Kidney Disease Patients with Refractory Atrial Fibrillation
Conclusions PVI+RSD were associated with a lower AF recurrence rate than PVI alone; it also improved renal function and some echocardiographic parameters. These encouraging data will serve as baseline information for further long-term studies on larger patient populations. (Source: Kidney Research and Clinical Practice)

Crystalline podocytopathy and tubulopathy without overt glomerular proteinuria in a patient with multiple myeloma
Publication date: Available online 18 June 2016 Source:Kidney Research and Clinical Practice Author(s): Eun Jeong Lee, Su Yeon Lee, So Young Park, Yonjin Kim, Jae Shin Choi, Mi Jeoung Kim, Ji Hyeon Park, Jung Eun Lee, Ghee Young Kwon, Yoon-Goo Kim 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 tubulopathy, which presents clinically as Fanconi syndrome. Podocytes are rarely affected, and the crystalline in...
