Vitamin D and Diabetic Kidney Disease

Ho-Yin Huang et al.

Summary: Vitamin D is a hormone that participates in various physiological processes. It has been shown to have renoprotective effects by regulating endothelial function, preserving podocytes, modulating the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, and exerting anti-inflammatory effects. Current research suggests that vitamin D may delay the onset of diabetic kidney disease. This review summarizes the findings on the role of vitamin D in diabetic kidney disease.

Recent Clinical Trials Insights into the Treatment of Primary Membranous Nephropathy

Jorge Rojas-Rivera et al.

Summary: Immunosuppressive therapy is essential for primary membranous nephropathy patients, especially those with persistent proteinuria, anti-phospholipase A2 receptor antibodies, reduced kidney function, or other risk factors. Recent studies have shown that glucocorticoid-cyclophosphamide and rituximab are effective treatments, but may come with the risk of adverse events.

Clinicopathological Characteristics and Outcomes of PLA2R-Associated Membranous Nephropathy in Seropositive Patients Without PLA2R Staining on Kidney Biopsy

Jiao Luo et al.

Summary: This study examines a subtype of membranous nephropathy (MN) characterized by the presence of circulating serum autoantibodies to PLA(2)R but no deposits of PLA(2)R antigen in glomerular tissue. The study found that this subtype of MN is associated with more severe kidney injury and a worse prognosis compared to patients with PLA(2)R antigen deposits. The study also found that patients with this subtype have a lower probability of remission and are more likely to experience a decrease in kidney function.

Revisiting immunological and clinical aspects of membranous nephropathy

Israel Nieto-Ganan et al.

Summary: Idiopathic or primary membranous nephropathy (IMN) is a common cause of nephrotic syndrome in adults and the elderly. It is an organ-specific autoimmune disease characterized by thickening of the glomerular capillary walls. The complement system and specific podocyte antigens play important roles in its pathogenesis.

Summary: Vitamin D deficiency is a global issue with diverse guidelines for diagnosis and treatment. Screening for deficiency is not recommended for the general population, but testing is suggested for certain risk groups. Daily supplementation of 800 to 2000 IU of vitamin D is recommended for adults.

Summary: Chronic kidney disease is a significant global public health burden, affecting over 500 million people worldwide. This study demonstrates the use of high-throughput screening methods to identify potential drugs for CKD. The study suggests that the vitamin D signaling pathway may play a protective role in podocytes, the cells responsible for the majority of CKD cases.

Summary: This study examines the causal role of low vitamin D status in mortality using genetic evidence. The results show an association between low vitamin D status and all-cause mortality, as well as mortality from cancer, cardiovascular disease, and respiratory diseases. The study supports a causal relationship between vitamin D deficiency and mortality.

Summary: Vitamin D plays a crucial role in immune system and endothelial membrane stability, and low levels of serum 25(OH)D are associated with an increased risk of immune-related diseases. Although the outcomes of vitamin D supplementation vary greatly, it is recommended to increase vitamin D intake and ensure sufficient sunlight exposure to obtain optimal health benefits.

B Cells in Primary Membranous Nephropathy: Escape from Immune Tolerance and Implications for Patient Management

Benjamin Y. F. So et al.

Summary: Membranous nephropathy (MN) is a significant cause of nephrotic syndrome and chronic kidney disease in adults, with B cells playing a crucial role in its pathogenesis. Understanding B cell tolerance and homeostasis has important implications for patient management, as conventional immunosuppressive treatments and novel B cell-targeted therapies have distinct effects on different B cell subsets. Circulating B lymphocytes and related cytokines may serve as potential biomarkers for treatment selection, monitoring of therapeutic response and prediction of disease relapse in MN.

Altered Th17/Treg ratio as a possible mechanism in pathogenesis of idiopathic membranous nephropathy

Roza Motavalli et al.

Summary: In patients with IMN, the balance of Th17 and Treg cells in peripheral blood was disrupted, with increased expression of IL-21, IL-4, and IL-10, and decreased expression of FOXP3 and TGF-beta. Before treatment, alterations in the Th17/Treg lymphocyte ratio may play a role in the pathogenesis of IMN.

Membranous nephropathy

Pierre Ronco et al.

Summary: Membranous nephropathy (MN) is a glomerular disease that can occur at any age, with about 80% of adult patients having no apparent cause. It is an autoimmune disease with unpredictable disease outcome, with some patients experiencing spontaneous remission. Various treatment options are available, but relapses and suboptimal treatment responses remain a challenge.
