Fenofibrate prevents nicotine-induced acute kidney injury: Possible involvement of endothelial nitric oxide synthase
Conclusion: Fenofibrate attenuates nicotine-induced AKI, via its antihyperlipidemic and antioxidant property. Moreover, fenofibrate induced upregulation of eNOS expression additionally play key roles in the improvement of nicotine-induced AKI could be the future alternative.

Ofloxacin Induced Hemolysis in G6PD-deficient Patient: A Rare Cause of Pigment Nephropathy
Mital Parikh, Maulin Shah, Jekishan Hirapara, Shailesh Soni, Bhalendu Vaishnav, Labani GhoshIndian Journal of Nephrology 2021 31(4):410-413
Thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) commonly presents as a triad of acute kidney injury (AKI), jaundice, and hemolysis; however, tropical infections such as malaria, dengue, leptospira, and drugs like antimalarials can also have a similar presentation. They can cause AKI for many reasons including pre-renal causes but an important yet not relatively uncommon genetic cause of hemolytic anemia, that is, glucose 6-phosphate deficiency (G6PD) manifesting as jaundice, hemolysis, and AKI secon...

Complete Remission of Lupus Nephritis Following Chemoradiotherapy of Carcinoma Cervix: An Association
We present a case of 45-year-old female presented with mucocutaneous, musculoskeletal symptoms of SLE. Renal biopsy showed class IV lupus nephritis (LN); modified NIH activity score: 8/24, chronicity score: 6/12. Post NIH regimen induction, she achieved partial remission; further developed proteinuric relapse which was re-induced with mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) to which she failed to respond. Subsequently diagnosed with carcinoma cervix stage IIB, she received four cycles of concurrent cisplatin-based chemoradiotherapy. MMF was stopped; low dose steroids continued. Following this, the patient achieved complete remission (...
