We demonstrated that a mineral aqueous solution (MAS) administered to mice functionally and histologically protected against cisplatin-induced acute renal failure (ARF) and $CCl_4$-induced acute liver failure (ALF). In ARF model, 0.4 and 0.2% MAS decreased mortality and the serum concentrations of blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatine in mice. Additionally, 0.4 and 0.2% MAS reduced contraction of distal convoluted tubules and suppressed expression of the proinflammatory cytokines interlukein-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF-${\alpha}$) in the kidney. In ALF model, 0.4 and 0.2% MAS decreased serum concentrations of alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase in mice. Additionally, 0.4 and 0.2% MAS reduced necrotic areas and suppressed expression of IL-6 and TNF-${\alpha}$ in the liver. These results indicate that a MAS might have protective effects against ARF and ALF.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical utility of late 6-month dimercapto-succinic acid (DMSA) renal scan in predicting vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) and long-lasting renal scars in children with first acute pyelonephritis (APN). Methods: A retrospective case study of children admitted with APN from January 2010 to July 2017 was performed. The study included patients with voiding cystourethrography (VCUG) and acute and late 6-month DMSA scan. We analyzed the clinical, laboratory and imaging findings of patients with and without late cortical defects at 6 months and those with or without VUR. Results: Among 145 children with APN, 50 (34.5%) had cortical defects on the late DMSA renal scan and 60 (41.4%) showed VUR. Thirteen of 38 (34.2%) children undergoing 18-month DMSA renal scan showed a long-lasting renal scars. Compared with children without late cortical defects, patients with late 6-month cortical defects had a higher incidence of VUR and long-lasting renal scars, and relapse of UTI (all P<0.05). In a multivariable analysis, both high-grade VUR and relapse of UTI were independently correlated with the presence of late 6-month cortical defects (P<0.05). Late cortical defects and relapse of UTI were also associated with the presence of VUR (P<0.05). Only the late 6-mo cortical defects was an independent predictor of long-lasting renal scars in children with APN (P<0.05). Conclusion: An abnormal late 6-month DMSA renal scan may be useful in identifying VUR and long-lasting renal scars in children diagnosed with APN.

Objectives : The object of this study was to observe the nephroprotective effects of Sojongchobisunki-tang (SCST), which has traditionally been used as Korean medicine for treating various renal diseases, on cisplatin-induced rat acute renal failure. Methods : Three different dosages of SCST were orally administered once a day for 23 days before cisplatin treatment (5 mg/kg, single intraperitoneally administered) and 5 days after cisplatin treatment (once a day for 28 days). 6 groups, of 8 rats per group were used in the present study after 7 days of acclimatization. Changes of the body weight, kidney weight, serum BUN and creatinine levels were observed, as well as changes of the kidney MDA and GSH contents. The results were compared with captopril 100 mg/kg of which the effects on cisplatin-induced acute renal failures are already confirmed. Results : Acute renal failure induced by cisplatin were induced by oxidative stress and related lipid peroxidation in the present study. However, these acute renal failures and inhibition of antioxidant effects induced by cisplatin were dose-dependently reduced by treatment at all three different dosages of SCST extracts. Conclusions : This study suggests that SCST extracts showed favorable effects on the cisplatin-induced rat ARF.

Fabry disease is an X-linked lysosomal storage disorder caused by a deficiency of the enzyme ${\alpha}-galactosidase$ A, resulting in the accumulation of glycosphingolipids within the lysosomes of various cell types. It has a wide spectrum of clinical phenotypes, and renal failure is a serious complication. Fabry disease is confirmed either by measurement of ${\alpha}-galactosidase$ A activity or by genetic testing for GLA mutations. Renal biopsy findings on light microscopy, specifically enlarged podocytes with foamy cytoplasm, and osmiophilic inclusion bodies in the cytoplasm in all types of renal cells on electron microscopy, are characteristic of this disease. The predominant differential diagnosis is iatrogenic phospholipidosis in association with certain drugs that can cause cellular injuries indistinguishable from Fabry disease. Here, we report the case of a 10-year-old boy with microscopic hematuria who underwent a renal biopsy that showed morphological findings consistent with Fabry disease, although the patient had neither a GLA mutation nor a history of drug consumption. Six years later, spontaneous regression of this renal pathology was observed in a second renal biopsy examination.

목적: 소아에서 24시간 소변 수집의 단점을 대체하기 위해 $^{99m}Tc$-MAG3 신장 스캔을 통한 신기능을 측정하여, 크레아티닌 청소율과 혈청 cystatin C과 크레아티닌에 의한 사구체 여과율 추정식을 비교하여 연관성을 확인하였다. 방법: 2011년 7월부터 2012년 8월까지 101명의 18세 미만의 환자들을 대상으로 의무기록 후향적 조사로 실시하였고 $^{99m}Tc$-MAG3 신장 스캔을 시행하여 사구체 여과율을 측정하였다. 24시간 소변과 혈액을 체취하여 크레아티닌 청소율을 측정하였고 5개의 추정식을 통해 사구체 여과율을 측정하였다. 결과: 크레아티닌 청소율과 $^{99m}Tc$-MAG3 신장 스캔을 이용한 사구체 여과율의 Pearson 상관 계수는 0.389(P<0.001)이었다. $^{99m}Tc$-MAG3 신장 스캔과 Schwartz 식, Counahan-Barratt 식, MDRD 식, Cockcroft-Gault 식, Filler and Lepage 식, Bokencamp 식에 의한 사구체 여과율의 Pearson 상관 계수는 각각 0.265 (P=0.007), 0.128(P=0.044), 0.216 (P=0.030), 0.230 (P=0.021), 0.356 (P<0.001), 0.355 (P<0.001) 로 확인되었다. 사구체 및 비사구체 신질환의 비교에서 $^{99m}Tc$-MAG3 신장 스캔에 의한 사구체 여과율은 모두 유의한 상관성을 가졌고, 신기능의 저하 유무에 상관없이 $^{99m}Tc$-MAG3 신장 스캔에 의한 사구체 여과율은 크레아티닌 청소율과 유의한 연관성을 보였다. 결론: 크레아티닌 청소율과 $^{99m}Tc$-MAG3 신장 스캔에 의한 사구체 여과율 간에는 유의한 상관성이 있으며 $^{99m}Tc$-MAG3 신장 스캔에 의한 사구체 여과율은 신질환의 기원과 신기능의 정상 여부 모두에서 크레아티닌 청소율을 대체할 수 있는 방법임을 확인할 수 있었다. $^{99m}Tc$-MAG3 신장 스캔 이용 시 정확하고 빠른 결과를 얻을 수 있으리라 생각된다.

Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) is a complex group of renal diseases characterized by a specific pattern of glomerular injury that includes thickening of the capillary wall and mesangial expansion, leading to a heterogeneous group of conditions. This review article offers a comprehensive overview of MPGN, its new classification, pathophysiology, diagnostic evaluation, and management options.
