A literature review demonstrated that maintaining sufficient levels of vitamin D is essential for improving health and preventing various diseases. Vitamin D deficiency is a common condition, and it can be addressed by consuming a balanced diet, getting regular exposure to sunlight, or taking supplements as necessary.","PeriodicalId":16964,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Renal Endocrinology","volume":"53 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139633228","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Evaluation of the frequency of benign reactive lymphocytosis and lymphoproliferative disorders by flow cytometry in patients with persistent lymphocytosis in peripheral blood","authors":"Behnoosh Mohammadi Jazi, P.

In lymphocytosis, the important matter is whether lymphocytosis is a benign reactive condition or a neoplastic lymphoproliferative disorder (LPD), which can be determined by immunophenotyping methods by flow cytometry. Objectives: Due to the need to use flow cytometry to confirm the diagnosis of patients with lymphocytosis, the purpose of this study was to compare the frequency of benign reactive lymphocytosis and LPDs in patients with persistent lymphocytosis using flow cytometry in the peripheral blood and report the results based on the patient’s demographic characteristics. Materials and Methods: This study was a cross-sectional study and the study population was all peripheral blood samples referred to Seyed Al-Shohada hospital in Isfahan to study the cause of absolute and persistent lymphocytosis by immunophenotyping analysis through flow cytometry between 2015 and 2020. Inclusion criteria were patients over 18 years of age with absolute lymphocytosis in complete blood count (CBC) or peripheral blood smear (PBS) who were examined by flow cytometry. Results: This study involved 222 samples, 139 (62.6%) of the cases were male. The mean age was 60.41 (15.91) years. All samples had absolute lymphocytosis and were divided into two groups: benign, with 62 (27.9%), and malignant, with 160 (72.1%). Conclusion: The relationship between gender and malignancy showed that the male gender was associated with an increased risk of malignancy. The mean age between the two groups of malignant and benign was determined by independent t test, and it was shown that the mean (±standard deviation) age of malignant cases is higher than the mean age of benign cases. It is recommended that cases of suspected lymphoproliferative cases and cases with cell counts below the lymphocytosis threshold be investigated in separate studies.","PeriodicalId":16964,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Renal Endocrinology","volume":"9 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139637243","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is characterized by a sudden decline in kidney function within 48-72 hours after the administration of contrast media. The incidence of contrast-associated acute renal injury varies depending on the patient’s risk factors and the type and amount of contrast media used. Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are a group of antidiabetic drugs that inhibit the reabsorption of glucose in the nephrons, running to raise urinary glucose excretion and improve glycemic control. Recent studies have shown that SGLT2 inhibitors may have a protective effect against contrast-associated acute renal injury. Preventive measures for contrast-associated acute renal injury include hydration, minimizing contrast volume and rate of administration, and avoiding contrast in high-risk patients. The administration of SGLT2 inhibitors may also be a useful preventive measure in patients at risk for contrast-associated acute renal injury.","PeriodicalId":16964,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Renal Endocrinology","volume":"6 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139632062","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The incidence of CIN has increased with the widespread use of diagnostic imaging and contrast media. CIN is a pathological condition that typically occurs within 48 hours of exposure to contrast material and results in an increase in serum creatinine levels of more than 44 µmol/L (0.5 mg/dL) or 25% above baseline or an increase in serum creatinine of more than 1.5 times the baseline level within 7 days of exposure to contrast material or a reduction in urine output to less than 0.5 mL/h for at least 6 hours after exposure to contrast material. The mechanism of CIN is not fully understood, but it is thought to involve direct nephrotoxic effects of contrast particles, hemodynamic changes, hypoxia and oxidative stress, apoptosis, inflammation, and immune responses. Prevention of CIN involves identifying the risk factors and taking appropriate measures to mitigate them. Currently, there is no definitive treatment for CIN, and treatment is mainly symptomatic, with supportive care being the mainstay. Experimental treatments such as renal replacement therapy, extracorporeal blood purification, and stem cell therapy are being investigated, but their clinical efficacy is yet to be established.","PeriodicalId":16964,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Renal Endocrinology","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78917137","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Intense exercise can lead to increased sympathetic nervous system activity, resulting in the release of renin from the juxtaglomerular cells in the kidneys. Renin acts on angiotensinogen, leading to the generation of angiotensin II, a potent vasoconstrictor. Angiotensin II stimulates the secretion of aldosterone from the adrenal glands, which promotes sodium reabsorption and potassium excretion in the kidneys. The persistent activation of the RAAS in gym nephropathy may contribute to renal damage by causing vasoconstriction and promoting renal inflammation.","PeriodicalId":16964,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Renal Endocrinology","volume":"41 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78472918","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Materials and Methods: This meta-analysis study was conducted on RCTs in diabetic nephropathy patients, which evaluated the effect of allopurinol on serum uric acid levels. Data were collected by searching international databases and Google Scholar search engines until May 2023. STATA 14 software and the random effects model were conducted to analyze the data. A P value less than 0.05 was considered significant. Results: In this study, five studies with a sample size of 942 patients were assessed. The effect of allopurinol on serum uric acid in comparison to the placebo group deduced that the standard mean difference between the allopurinol group and placebo group was -1.55 mg/dL, which was statistically significant (CI: -2.07 to -1.02). Conclusion: Allopurinol through its uric acid lowering effect would be beneficial for patients with diabetic nephropathy in preventing the progression of CKD.
