Article Abstract
Purpose Of Review: To summarize the literature providing the basic genetic and clinical characteristics of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) familial syndromes, as well as to describe associated unique imaging characteristics and appropriate imaging protocols.
Recent Findings: At least 5-8% of RCC cases are associated with hereditary syndromes. These patients are prone to developing multiple renal tumors or associated malignancies and require more intense diagnostic and follow-up imaging studies. New familial types of RCC are continuously discovered, vis-à-vis recent characterization of BAP1 associated RCC and MITF associated cancer syndrome. With increasing number of recognizable familial syndromes associated with RCC, physicians should be familiar with the different syndromes, the associated risks of malignancy and appropriate imaging protocols.

Treatment with Daratumumab for Immunotactoid Glomerulopathy Associated with Plasma Cell Dyscrasia: A Report of Two Cases.

We herein report two cases of immunotactoid glomerulopathy (ITG) associated with multiple myeloma treated with daratumumab-based regimens. The first patient was an 81-year-old woman with severe renal insufficiency and IgAκ multiple myeloma (MM) that progressed to end-stage renal disease despite administering daratumumab-based therapy. The second patient, a 69-year-old man with smoldering MM, showed a favorable response to daratumumab-based treatment, with a resolution of nephrotic proteinuria.

Lithium-induced kidney injury is commonly associated with the development of nephrogenic diabetes insipidus. Longer term lithium exposure is associated with the development of chronic interstitial fibrosis. The mechanisms of lithium-induced kidney injury are multifaceted, affecting many intracellular cell signaling pathways associated with cell cycle regulation, cell proliferation, and subsequent increased extracellular matrix formation and interstitial fibrosis.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is currently a serious global health problem, due to its high risk of progression, prevalence and mortality. It not only affects the kidneys but also causes multi-organ damage. Moreover, there is no effective pharmacological treatment, and the only available alternatives are dialysis or transplantation, both of which impose a significant financial burden on healthcare systems.

Background: Contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CIAKI) is the third cause of hospital-acquired acute kidney injury and diabetes mellitus (DM) was identified as a risk factor for CIAKI. However, the molecular mechanism underlying DM-CIAKI remains unclear, which needs further investigation.
Methods: DM-CIAKI models of mice and cells were established.
Histone methylation of kidney disease: fact or fantasy?

Histone methylation (HMT), the enzymatic addition of methyl groups to specific histone residues by histone methyltransferases, constitutes a key regulatory mechanism in gene expression and post-translational modulation. Although studies have explored HMT's role in oncogenesis and other organ-specific disorders, HMT is now implicated in the pathogenesis of kidney diseases. A broad spectrum of experimental models, including both and systems, has demonstrated the involvement of HMT alterations in diverse renal pathologies such as acute kidney injury, renal fibrosis, diabetic nephropathy, lupus nephritis, polycystic kidney disease, kidney stones, renal cell carcinoma, and immunoglobulin A nephropathy.
