Anterior and posterior ischemic optic neuropathy in a child with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis on hemodialysis
ConclusionsThe exact cause of our patient ’s simultaneous bilateral anterior and posterior ION, confirmed via MRI and fundoscopic examination, is unclear; however, is likely secondary to a combination of fluctuating blood pressure, anemia, anephric status, and hemodialysis. This highlights the need for close blood pressure monitoring, man agement of anemia, and more diligent ophthalmologic screening in pediatric patients on chronic hemodialysis.

Caffeic acid alleviates skeletal muscle atrophy in 5/6 nephrectomy rats through the TLR4/MYD88/NF-kB pathway
Biomed Pharmacother. 2024 Apr 17;174:116556. doi: 10.1016/j.biopha.2024.116556. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSkeletal muscle atrophy is a common complication of chronic kidney disease (CKD) that affects the quality of life and prognosis of patients. We aimed to investigate the effects and mechanisms of caffeic acid (CA), a natural phenolic compound, on skeletal muscle atrophy in CKD rats. Male Sprague-Dawley rats underwent 5/6 nephrectomy (NPM) and were treated with CA (20, 40, or 80 mg/kg/day) for 10 weeks. The body and muscle weights, renal function, hemoglobin, and albumin were measured. The histological, molecular, an...
