    Abstract Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have made an important contribution to the survival of patients with certain cancers. ICIs interrupt co-inhibitory signaling pathways mediated by programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1), programmed cell death protein ligand 1 (PD-L1) and cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen (CTLA-4) that result in the elimination of cancer cells by stimulating the immune system. However, immune-related adverse events have also been described and attributed to an enhanced immune system activation. Recent observations have suggested a dysregulation of immune checkpoints in active antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV). We here analyzed intrarenal PD-1 and PD-L1 by immunostaining in a total of 15 kidney biopsies with ANCA-associated renal vasculitis in correlation with glomerular and tubulointerstitial lesions. For independent validation, publicly available datasets were analyzed for PD-1 expression (encoded by

    Abstract Diabetic nephropathy is a common microvascular complication of diabetes mellitus. It is characterized by progressive chronic kidney disease (CKD) with decline of kidney function by hyperfiltration. On a mechanistic level, activation of the complement system has been implicated in the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy. Therefore, here we pursued a transcriptome array-based approach to link intrarenal SGLT-2 and the synthesis of distinct complement components in diabetic nephropathy. Publicly available datasets for

    Abstract Introduction: Rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis (RPGN) is characterized by a rapid loss of kidney function, affecting both renal and overall patient survival. Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) is a small vessel vasculitis affecting multiple organ systems including the kidney, and among most frequent causes of RPGN. We here aimed to validate a recently described scoring system for short-term treatment response to therapeutic plasma exchange (PLEX) in a well-characterized and independent cohort of severe renal AAV presenting with RPGN. Furthermore, we compared this scoring with established classification systems in renal AAV including histopathological findings.
    Methods: We here directly compare the scoring system with retrospective data about PLEX treatment in our own clinical practice and according to current recommendations in a cohort of 53 patients with severe AAV presenting with RPGN confirmed by kidney biopsy.
    Results: We here confirm that PLEX scoring is capable to identify patients at risk for short-term poor outcome in severe AAV presenting with RPGN (
    Conclusion: Our observations underscore the relevance of performing a kidney biopsy in this patient population that is often challenged in the setting of intensive care treatment, requirement of KRT with need for anticoagulation and bleeding risk. Therefore, validation of our observations and this recent scoring system for treatment response to PLEX in independent cohorts would be of great clinical relevance in the treatment of patients with severe AAV presenting with RPGN.

    Abstract Background: We have previously reported that the ultrasound (US)-guided tip positioning is an accurate and safe procedure for placement of retrograde- and antegrade-tunneled hemodialysis catheters (HDCs). However, determinants of tunneled hemodialysis catheter implantation time by using US guidance have not been described yet. Therefore, we here report a comparative analysis to identify determinants of implantation time for retrograde- and antegrade-tunneled HDCs placement by US guidance.
    Methods: We performed a cross-sectional study to compare implantation time for US-guided tip positioning of retrograde- and antegrade-tunneled HDCs. We included a total number of 47 tunneled HDC insertions, including 23 retrograde tunneled and 24 antegrade-tunneled HDCs in patients requiring placement of an HDC for the temporary or permanent treatment of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) in a single-center, cross-sectional pilot study.
    Results: We show that clinical and laboratory parameters did not differ between retrograde- and antegrade-tunneled HDC implantations. There was a tendency for shorter implantation time in antegrade-tunneled HDCs, although not statistically significant. Finally, we identified an independent inverse association between body weight (BW) and platelet counts with HDC implantation time specifically in antegrade-tunneled HDCs.
    Conclusion: In this study, we identified determinants for tunneled HDC implantation time that might be relevant for patients and interventionists.

    Abstract Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are novel drugs targeting programmed cell death protein 1-ligand 1 (PD-L1) or its receptor (PD-1). Enhancing the immune system has also been associated with a wide range of immune-related adverse events (irAE). Among them, acute interstitial nephritis (AIN) is a rare but deleterious irAE in the kidney. However, determinants of recovery and long-term kidney function after ICI withdrawal and steroid therapy thereafter remain elusive. Therefore, we here aimed to identify parameters associated with recovery of kidney function in this previous established cohort of AIN in the context of ICI therapy.
    Methods: We here monitored kidney function over a mean follow-up time of 812 days in comparison with clinical, histopathological and laboratory parameters associated with recovery of kidney function after AIN related to ICI nephrotoxicity.
    Results: Abundance of intrarenal PD-L1/PD-1 did not correlate with recovery of kidney function. Furthermore, cumulative steroid dose that was initiated for treatment of AIN related to ICI nephrotoxicity was also not associated with improvement of kidney function. Finally, chronic lesions in the kidney including glomerular sclerosis and interstitial fibrosis/tubular atrophy (IF/TA) did not correlate with eGFR change during the follow-up time. However, we here identified that lower levels of serum sodium at time of kidney biopsy were the strongest independent predictor of renal recovery in ICI-related nephrotoxicity.
    Conclusion: Because low serum sodium levels associated with better improvement of kidney function, these observations might contribute to novel approaches to enhance recovery after AIN related to ICI nephrotoxicity.

    Abstract Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) is a potentially life-threatening systemic small-vessel vasculitis that is characterized by pauci-immune glomerulonephritis in case of kidney involvement, representing a major denominator of AAV mortality. Innate immunity with complement system activation is increasingly recognized in the pathogenesis of AAV and as an attractive therapeutic target. Although C-reactive protein (CRP) was thought to be a passive, nonspecific marker of inflammation, recent studies indicate that CRP plays a key role in the innate immune system by recognizing pathogens and altered self-determinants. Elevated baseline CRP at disease onset of AAV has already been described as a determinant of poor long-term outcomes. However, its clinical implications at disease onset of AAV, with respect to vasculitis manifestations and complement system activation that might also affect long-term outcomes, remain elusive. CRP levels were retrospectively analyzed in 53 kidney-biopsy-confirmed cases of ANCA-associated renal vasculitis; a total of 138 disease controls were also evaluated. Univariate and multivariate regression analysis was performed on clinicopathological parameters associated with CRP levels in ANCA-associated renal vasculitis. Results: Compared to disease controls, CRP elevation was common in ANCA-associated renal vasculitis and associated with de novo disease (
