Our study of acute interstitial nephritis is out in Nature Communications. We used imaging mass cytometry and single-cell spatial transcriptomics on 106 human kidney biopsies to ask what separates AIN from other causes of AKI at the tissue level. 🧵 nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a potentially curative therapy for patients with hematologic malignancies and certain solid tumors and nonmalignant hematologic conditions. In this article, the authors review the epidemiology, risk factors, etiologies, pathophysiology, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of post-HSCT AKI and CKD. bit.ly/KID0692 @arenaghan1

Although tuberculosis (TB) is associated with significant mortality and morbidity, its impact on kidney function is not well understood and is often attributed to anti-TB drugs. This study found that the overall incidence of AKI in the immediate post-TB diagnosis period is high and associated with increased mortality risk. bit.ly/KID0551 @graekan @Nephronette @fperrywilson @brewster_ursula @rkalyes1 @Makerere @MustMedFaculty
