Article Abstract
Study Design: Observational cohort.
Aim: To show that Cystatin C is an accurate single marker to estimate GFR in motor complete persons with SCI.
Objectives: To assess if Cystatin C is an accurate for estimating GFR in persons with SCI with no preserved motor power. To study if use of Serum creatinine for estimation of GFR in this population significantly overestimates GFR, thereby inaccurate.
Setting: Tertiary care hospital and Medical College, Vellore, South India.
Methods: 30 persons with SCI (ASIA A and B) fulfilling the inclusion criteria were recruited. Serum Creatinine and Serum Cystatin C values were obtained, and eGFR was calculated based on available formulae. 24-h urine for urine creatinine clearance-based eGFR was used as a reference value.
Results: Analysis with a Bland-Atman plot showed that eGFR estimated with Serum Cystatin C was more accurate than Serum Creatinine, using 24-h urine creatinine as a reference value. eGFR using Serum Creatinine significantly overestimated GFR by over 50.6%. Estimated GFR using Serum Cystatin C showed a meager mean difference of 0.5% from the reference 24-h urine creatinine clearance (mean difference of -2.56%).
Conclusion: Serum Cystatin C is a much more accurate marker for estimating GFR in SCI, compared to serum Creatinine which overestimates GFR.

Objectives: To investigate the mechanism of (QJZ) for ameliorating renal damage in MRL/lpr mice.
Methods: With 6 female C57BL/6 mice as the normal control group, 30 female MRL/lpr mice were randomized into model group, QJZ treatment groups at low, moderate and high doses, and prednisone treatment group (6). After 8 weeks of treatment, the mice were examined for 24-h urine protein, creatinine and albumin levels, serum levels of IgG, complement 3 (C3), C4, anti-dsDNA, interferon γ (IFN‑γ) and interleukin 17 (IL-17).
The influence of biological sex on diagnostic markers of acute kidney injury in acute-on-chronic liver failure: insights from a single-centre tertiary care study.

Biological sex has a profound impact on disease severity, outcomes and diagnosis yet, its role in clinical disease is insufficiently explored. Acute on chronic liver failure (ACLF) is associated with high mortality and multiple organ dysfunctions, where acute kidney injury (AKI) significantly worsens prognosis. Here we investigated the impact of sex on the diagnostic parameters used for severity grading in ACLF.

Renal fibrosis is the common pathological outcome of chronic kidney disease (CKD) progressing into end-stage renal disease. The excessive proliferation of fibroblasts plays an important role in the CKD progression. Nutrients such as amino acids and their transportation are essential for cell proliferation.

Diabetic kidney disease (DKD), a prominent microvascular complication of diabetes mellitus and the leading cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD), was addressed through a novel nanotherapeutic approach. This study engineered folic acid-conjugated poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) nanoparticles (FA-PLGA NPs) for the folate receptor (FR)-targeted delivery of Toll-like receptor 4 small interfering RNA (TLR4 siRNA) to treat diabetic nephropathy (DN). In a streptozotocin-induced DN murine model, administration of FA-PLGA NPs/TLR4 siRNA significantly mitigated renal injury compared to untreated DN controls.
