Abstract Background and Aims Kidney transplant (KT) is the best treatment for many patients with kidney failure. However, from racialized communities are less likely to receive KT. Gaps in transplant-related knowledge may be one of potential reasons observed inequities accessing Here we compare patient characteristics KT-related between South Asian (SA) versus white Canadians failure using “Kno...

Kidney is considered as the secondary target organ of nanoparticle (NP) toxicity. Since it primary excretion, NPs are expected to adversely affect renal system. Therefore, a comprehensive review recent knowledge on toxicity engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) was made. Mechanistic paradigms their have also been discussed.

BACKGROUND Patients with medullary sponge kidney (MSK) commonly encounter recurrent nephrolithiasis. The existing knowledge on safety of donors with MSK has not been studied. METHODS We conducted a retrospective cohort study at a tertiary referral hospital to assess the outcomes of living kidney donors with MSK. All adults with MSK (N = 26) who underwent nephrectomy as living kidney donors be...

Renal insufficiency as a result of congenital obstructive nephropathy is a consequence of impaired renal growth: chronic unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) results in greater injury to the immature kidney than to the adult kidney. The neonatal kidney responds to UUO by marked activation of the renin-angiotensin system, which contributes to severe vasoconstriction and progressive interstitial...

Drug-induced kidney disease is a frequent cause of renal dysfunction; however, there are no standards to identify and characterize the spectrum of these disorders. We convened a panel of international, adult and pediatric, nephrologists and pharmacists to develop standardized phenotypes for drug-induced kidney disease as part of the phenotype standardization project initiated by the Internation...
