    Abstract Unprovoked activation of innate immune pathways and increased secretion of interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-18 are responsible for the protean clinical manifestations and the marked inflammatory response that characterise most hereditary autoinflammatory disorders. The kidney is a major target organ of this inflammatory process. The deposition of the acute-phase reactant serum amyloid A (SAA) as amyloid causes progressive glomerular and vascular damage and leads to organ failure. In this review we focus on the potential impact of hereditary autoinflammatory diseases on renal function, provide red flags that may guide the clinical suspicion of amyloid kidney damage and discuss the relevance of close renal monitoring for early diagnosis and prompt treatment. Moreover, NLRP3 inflammasome activation is increasingly recognised to play a key causative role in the pathogenesis of several chronic kidney diseases in which activation of caspase-1 and the proteolytic cleavage of IL-1β and IL-18 into their biologically active forms mediate glomerular and tubulointerstitial damage. Although much of the knowledge about the role of the inflammasome in kidney injury has been mostly gathered in experimental models, inhibition of IL-1 is also becoming an attractive potential therapeutic target in a variety of chronic renal disorders with a substantial inflammatory component.

    Abstract The West Nile Virus (WNV), an RNA arbovirus, has been transmitted by wild birds and conveyed by ticks and mosquitoes, with wide diffusion all over the world; it is not transmitted from human to human. It can give clinical symptoms only in a minority of infected subjects such as fever, headache, muscle tiredness, visual disturbances, drowsiness, convulsions and muscle paralysis; in the most serious cases even potentially fatal encephalitis. In the literature there are few reports on WNV infection in patients with kidney diseases: here we report our experience on two patients on peritoneal dialysis infected by WNV with a revision of the literature.

    Abstract Patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD) are at high cardiovascular (C-V) risk, and dyslipidemia, one of the major traditional C-V risk factors, is a common complication in chronic kidney disease. PD treatment may worsen lipid profile, because it confers a more atherogenic state than hemodialysis. There is evidence that in the general population, lipid-lowering therapy reduces C-V mortality, both in terms of primary and secondary prevention. The association between dyslipidemia and C-V mortality in dialysis patients is not well defined, and hypocholesterolemia, related to malnutrition/inflammation, is a confounding factor. However, despite the unfavorable lipid profile in PD patients and their high C-V mortality rate, until now we have had no conclusive data that the treatment of dyslipidemia in PD patients might contribute to reducing C-V mortality. At the moment, following the ATPIII and K-DOQI recommendations in considering dialysis patients as high C-V risk patients seems a reasonable approach, awaiting new large trials in PD patients. The present therapeutic tools to treat dyslipidemia in PD patients, such as diet, fibrates, omega-3, statins, carnitine, phosphate binders and use of glucose-free dialysis bags, are considered, with attention to high-risk diabetic patients, with the possible use of intraperitoneal insulin. The data indicate a correctable nihilism in treating dyslipidemia in the general population, probably even exacerbated in PD patients. However, it will only be with the correction of all of the C-V risk factors, traditional and uremia-related ones, that in future we shall hope to observe the reduction of C-V death in PD patients.

    Abstract Atheroembolic renal disease (AERD) is a life-threatening illness. Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has a high mortality rate in older patients with comorbidities. We report the case of severe-type COVID-19 in an 82-year-old female with AERD. She was treated with hydroxychloroquine-based therapy and overcame COVID-19. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a patient with AERD and COVID-19 pneumonia who overcame the infection and remains alive and well nine months following infection.

    Abstract Conceived and developed since 2001 at the Alba Center, Videodialysis (VD) was used initially to prevent dropout in prevalent PD patients by guiding them in performing dialysis (VD-Caregiver). Subsequently, its use was extended to the clinical follow-up of critical patients (VD-Clinical), problems relating to transport to the Center (VD-Transport), and since 2016 for training/retraining all patients (VD-Training). Since 2017 other Centers have employed VD using modalities analyzed in this paper.

    Abstract Roberto Scarpioni and colleagues recount their experience with the Covid-19 epidemic at the Nephrology and Dialysis Center of the "Guglielmo da Saliceto" Hospital in Piacenza, where everybody is still fighting to this moment to contain the spread of the disease and face an increasingly unsustainable clinical situation. Piacenza is only 15 km away from the main cluster of cases in the country (Codogno, in the Lodi province) and, after the closure of the Hospital in Codogno, saw an escalation in the number of patients testing positive to Covid-19. The authors describe their efforts and the practices they adopted to contain the spread of the disease among inpatients visiting the hospital's Hemodialysis Clinic. They also reflect on some of the data available on the 25/03/2020, such as the number of patients testing positive and the mortality rate, unfortunately very high. Their aim is to help all colleagues that have yet to face this epidemic in its full force.

    Abstract The release of proinflammatory cytokines during inflammation represents an attempt to respond to injury, but it may produce detrimental effects. The inflammasome is a large, multiprotein complex that drives proinflammatory cytokine production in response to infection and tissue injury; the best-characterized inflammasome is the nod-like receptor protein-3 (NLRP3). Once activated, inflammasome leads to the active form of caspase-1, the enzyme required for the maturation of interleukin-1beta. Additional mechanisms bringing to renal inflammatory, systemic diseases and fibrotic processes were recently reported, via the activation of the inflammasome that consists of NLRP3, apoptosis associated speck-like protein and caspase-1. Several manuscripts seem to identify NLRP3 inflammasome as a possible therapeutic target in the treatment of progressive chronic kidney disease. Serum amyloid A (SAA), as acute-phase protein with also proinflammatory properties, has been shown to induce the secretion of cathepsin B and inflammasome components from human macrophages. SAA is a well recognised potent activator of the NLRP3. Here we will address our description on the involvement of the kidney in autoinflammatory diseases driven mainly by secondary, or reactive, AA amyloidosis with a particular attention on novel therapeutic approach which has to be addressed in suppressing underlying inflammatory disease and reducing the SAA concentration.
