In 1998, a French survey showed that the referral of patients with chronic kidney disease to a nephrologist was delayed, resulting in many emergency initiations of dialysis. In 2009, the ORACLE study aimed to describe th...
Approximately 30% of adult patients with immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy (IgAN) or IgA vasculitis with nephritis (IgAVN) develop end-stage renal disease during long-term follow-up. In particular, patients with nephrit...
Fatigue is a common and debilitating symptom, affecting 42–89% of end-stage kidney disease patients, persisting even in pre–dialysis care and stable kidney transplantation, with huge repercussions on func...
Distal renal tubular acidosis caused by missense mutations in kidney isoform of anion exchanger 1 (kAE1/SLC4A1), the basolateral membrane Cl−/HCO3− exchanger of renal alpha-intercalated cells, has been ex...
Kidney transplantation (KTx) represents the best available treatment for patients with end-stage renal disease. Still, full benefits of KTx are undermined by acute rejection (AR). The diagnosis of AR ultimately relies on...
Course of chronic kidney disease in French patients
In 1998, a French survey showed that the referral of patients with chronic kidney disease to a nephrologist was delayed, resulting in many emergency initiations of dialysis. In 2009, the ORACLE study aimed to describe th...
B cell-depleting therapy with rituximab or ofatumumab in immunoglobulin A nephropathy or vasculitis with nephritis
Approximately 30% of adult patients with immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy (IgAN) or IgA vasculitis with nephritis (IgAVN) develop end-stage renal disease during long-term follow-up. In particular, patients with nephrit...
The role of psychological factors in fatigue among end-stage kidney disease patients: a critical review
Fatigue is a common and debilitating symptom, affecting 42–89% of end-stage kidney disease patients, persisting even in pre–dialysis care and stable kidney transplantation, with huge repercussions on func...
Loss of kAE1 expression in collecting ducts of end-stage kidneys from a family with SLC4A1 G609R-associated distal renal tubular acidosis
Distal renal tubular acidosis caused by missense mutations in kidney isoform of anion exchanger 1 (kAE1/SLC4A1), the basolateral membrane Cl−/HCO3− exchanger of renal alpha-intercalated cells, has been ex...
Non-invasive approaches in the diagnosis of acute rejection in kidney transplant recipients. Part I. In vivo imaging methods
Kidney transplantation (KTx) represents the best available treatment for patients with end-stage renal disease. Still, full benefits of KTx are undermined by acute rejection (AR). The diagnosis of AR ultimately relies on...
