Abstract
Currently, various immunosuppressive drugs are used in organ transplantation. In particular, antithymoglobulin is a widely used drug in kidney transplantation in Korea, accounting for 20% of all induction therapy. According to existing studies, antithymoglobulin induction therapy has several advantages and disadvantages compared with other immunotherapies depending on the kidney transplant situation (dead donor, living donor, low-risk recipient, and high-risk recipient) or antithymoglobulin dose. In this review, we summarize the research conducted so far on antithymoglobulin and hope that antithymoglobulin research on kidney transplantation will be actively conducted in the future.

Abstract
It is crucial to understand the impact of DPP-4 inhibitors on the immune system, particularly T cell differentiation, maturation, and proliferation, in patients with type 2 diabetes and CKD. This prospective observational study aimed to investigate the distribution of immune cells (particularly regulatory T cells), following the administration of gemigliptin, a DPP-4 inhibitor, in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and chronic kidney disease. We enrolled 28 patients with type 2 diabetes, aged 20 to 69, who had been taking a daily dose of 50mg gemigliptin for <3 months and had chronic kidney disease stages 3, 4, or 5, including that undergoing dialysis. T regulatory cells were defined as CD4 + CD25 high CD127 low/- FoxP3 + phenotype, and flow cytometry was used to examine the distribution of T regulatory cells. In the patient group, blood samples were collected at baseline, as well as at 3 and 6 months after initiating medication. Of the 28 patients, 17 (60.7%) were male and the mean age was 61.82 ± 8.03 years. Serum Cr ≥ 1.5 mg/dL was 16 (57%), and Cr < 1.5 mg/dL was 12 (43%). The number of CD4(+)/CD25(+) cells did not significantly increase or decrease in baseline, 3 months, and 6 months time changes, and the number of CD127(-/FoxP3(+) cells did not change significantly. Treatment with gemigliptin for 3 and 6 months did not significantly alter the number, percentage, or ratio of circulating Treg cells in patients with type 2 diabetes and CKD. Therefore, the administration of gemigliptin may help maintain regulatory T cells or have no significant impact.

Abstract
The development of immunosuppressants has enabled remarkable progress in kidney transplantation (KT). However, current immunosuppressants cannot induce immune tolerance, and their nonspecific immunosuppressive effects result in many adverse effects. Regulatory T cells (Tregs) play crucial roles in controlling all specific immune responses. This study evaluated the distribution of Tregs and their effects on kidney allograft function in Korean KT recipients. We enrolled 113 KT recipients with stable graft function. The differentiation and expansion of Tregs were examined by flow cytometry to compare the Tregs subpopulations. Among the 113 patients, 73 (64.6%) were males, and the mean follow-up period from KT to Tregs collection was 147.5 + 111.3 months. Patients receiving lower doses of cyclosporine had higher proportions of Tregs than those with higher doses of cyclosporine (36.3 + 21.6 vs 17.0 + 12.7, P = .010, respectively). Patients taking cyclosporine tended to have higher Tregs numbers than those taking tacrolimus (94.7 + 158.1 vs 49.3 + 69.4, P = .095, respectively). However, no significant association was observed between Tregs and allograft dysfunction in the cox proportional hazard model. Tregs counts may be associated with the type and dose of immunosuppressants. However, no significant relationship was found between Tregs and kidney allograft function in stable KT recipients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We evaluated the efficacy and safety of eculizumab in comparison with plasmapheresis and intravenous immunoglobulin therapy in renal transplant recipients diagnosed with antibody-mediated rejection (AMR). METHODS This was a multicenter, open-label, prospective, randomized analysis. The patients were randomized by therapy type (eg, eculizumab infusions or standard of care [SOC]: plasmapheresis/intravenous immunoglobulin). The patients (ie, eculizumab arm: 7 patients, SOC arm: 4 patients) were evaluated for the continued presence of donor-specific antibodies (DSAs) and C4d (staining on biopsy), as well as histologic evidence, using repeat renal biopsy after treatment. RESULTS The allograft biopsies revealed that eculizumab did not prevent the progression to transplant glomerulopathy. Only 2 patients in the SOC arm experienced rejection reversal, and no graft losses occurred in either group. After AMR treatment, the DSA titers generally decreased compared to titers taken at the time of AMR diagnosis. There were no serious adverse effects in the eculizumab arm. CONCLUSIONS Eculizumab alone cannot treat AMR effectively and does not prevent acute AMR from progressing to chronic AMR or transplant glomerulopathy. However, it should be considered as a potential alternative therapy because it may be associated with decreased DSA levels.

Abstract
Objectives: The natural course of native kidneys after hemodialysis initiation in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) remains poorly understood.Methods: We measured the total volumes of native kidneys in 12 patients who had at least one enhanced computed tomography (CT) image both before and after initiation of hemodialysis (group 1) and in 18 patients who had no image before dialysis but more than two images after dialysis (group 2). In patients with images, the last image was used for analysis only after dialysis.Results: The mean total kidney volume (TKV) (± SD) before hemodialysis initiation was 3132 ± 1413 mL and the mean TKV of the last image was 3047 ± 1323 mL in group 1. The mean TKV change rate (%) was - 5.2 ± 27.4% (P > 0.05) during follow-up of 3.9 ± 1.9 years in group 1. The mean TKV change rate was 2.8 ± 34.4% (P > 0.05) in group 2. The follow-up period after dialysis initiation ranged from 4.2 ± 4.7 to 8.0 ± 5.2 years.Conclusions: The results suggest that the TKV of native polycystic kidneys decreases substantially after hemodialysis initiation. This reduction occurs mainly during the early post-hemodialysis period and followed by a slow enlargement of TKV.

Abstract
Abstract
Background and Aims
The generic versions have the same main component as the original products. But, due to the difference in additives or the level of impurities, it is questionable the the generic versions are completely identical to the original products. Nafamostat mesilate has been widely used as an anticoagulation in continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) with hemorrhagic diathesis. In this study, we performed comparison of circuit patency and exchange rates between the original products and the generic versions of Nafamostat mesilate in acute kidney injury patients receiving continuous renal replacement therapy
Method
We have conducted retrospective studies to compare the original product of nafamostat mesilate (n=732) with the generic version (n=328) on the CRRT running time.
Results
CRRT fiter life time of the generic version group was shorter than that of original product group although that was not significantly.
Conclusion
When generic versions of nafamostat mesilate are adopted in a hospital formulary, it must be emphasized that the effect these versions may be not completely identical to that of the original products.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
African American kidney transplant recipients experience disproportionately high rates of graft loss. The aim of this analysis was to use a UNOS data set that contains detailed baseline and longitudinal clinical data to establish and quantify the impact of the current overall graft loss definition on suppressing the true disparity magnitude in US AA kidney transplant outcomes.
Methods
Longitudinal cohort study of kidney transplant recipients using a data set created by United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS), including 266,128 (African American 70,215, Non-African American 195,913) transplant patient between 1987 and December 2016. Multivariable analysis was conducted using 2-stage joint modeling of random and fixed effects of longitudinal data (linear mixed model) with time to event outcomes (Cox regression).
Results
195,913 non-African American (AA) (73.6%) were compared with 70,215 AA (26.4%) recipients. 10-year-graft survival of AA in all era is lower than that of non-AA (31% in deceased kidney transplants (DKT) AA recipient and 42% in living kidney transplantation (LKT) non-AA recipient). 10-year-patient survival of AA with functioning graft in all era is similar that of non-AA. Multivariate Cox regression of factors associated with patient survival with functioning graft are acute rejection within 6 months, DM, hypertension and etc. Pre-transplant recipient BMI in AA show the trend as a protective factor in patient survival with functioning graft although not significantly in statistics
Conclusions
African American kidney transplant recipients experience a substantial disparity in graft loss, but not patient death with functioning graft.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Previous studies have shown that kidney transplant recipients with a high body mass index (BMI) have inferior graft and patient outcomes compared to patients with a lower BMI. We hypothesized that there would be secular improvements in outcomes among high BMI recipients. We used data from the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) to determine whether obesity affects patient and graft outcomes following kidney transplantation in the modern immunosuppressive era. METHODS The study sample consisted of 69,749 recipients from 1987 to 1999 and 197,986 recipients from 2000 to 2016. BMI values were categorized into 11 tiers: below 18 kg/m2, from 18 to 36 kg/m2 at 2 kg/m2-unit increments, and above 36 kg/m2. We created multivariate models to evaluate the independent effect of BMI on graft and patient outcomes, adjusting for factors known to affect graft success and patient survival. RESULTS Overall graft and patient survival has improved for all BMI categories. Cox regression modeling hazard ratios showed that the relative risk for graft loss, patient death, and patient death with a functioning graft in the modern immunosuppressive era (2000 to 2016) has significantly decreased compared to the earlier era (1987 to 1999), especially for living kidney transplant recipients. CONCLUSIONS The relative risk of graft failure and patient death with increasing BMI has appreciably decreased in the modern immunosuppressive era, especially for living donor transplant recipients. Withholding transplantation from patients with higher BMIs may no longer be justifiable on grounds of worse clinical outcomes.

Abstract
PURPOSE Renal dysfunction is a common complication and one of the factors that affects the outcomes of liver transplantation (LT). The aim of this study was to review the clinical course of recipients of LT who needed peritransplant dialysis at our center. METHODS We compared the clinical demographics, morbidity, and mortality between patients who required and those who did not require peritransplant dialysis among 26 recipients of LT from May 2015 to February 2018 at our center. RESULTS Among the recipients, 9 had pretransplant or posttransplant dialysis and 17 did not. The patients who underwent dialysis had a higher pretransplant Model for End-Stage Liver Disease score (42 vs 13; P < .001), older donor age (41 vs 24 years; P < .001), and longer post-LT hospital stay (37 vs 20 days; P < .001). However, there was no significant difference in the serum creatinine level between the 2 groups (1.36 vs 0.93 mg/dL; P = .187) at 2 weeks (1.10 vs 0.96 mg/dL; P = .341), 1 month (1.06 vs 0.86 mg/dL; P = .105), and 3 months after LT (0.92 vs 0.94 vs 0.89 mg/dL; P = .825). Mortality was higher in the peritransplant dialysis group (P = .043). The pre-LT dialysis duration was significantly related to post-LT dialysis (P = .028) and mortality (P = .011). CONCLUSIONS The pre-LT dialysis duration is considered an important factor in the survival and recovery of kidney function after LT. Therefore, if the patient has started dialysis, it may be beneficial to proceed to LT as soon as possible.

Abstract
Background: Several registries and centers have reported the results of renal biopsies from different parts of the world. As there are few data regarding the epidemiology of glomerulonephritis (GN) in South Korea, we conducted this study on renal biopsy findings during the last 20 years from a single center. Methods: Data for 818 patients who underwent renal biopsy at our center between 1992 and 2011 were collected retrospectively. All kidney specimens were examined with light microscopy (LM) and immunofluorescent microscopy (IF). Results: There were 818 cases of native kidney biopsies. In cases of primary GN, the most frequent type of renal pathology in adults (18–59 years) was mesangial proliferative GN (MsPGN, 34.5%) followed by IgA nephropathy (IgAN, 33.3%) and membranous GN (MGN, 8.8%). Indications in adults (18–59 years) were asymptomatic urinary abnormalities (75.3%) followed by nephrotic syndrome (19.8%) and acute kidney injury (AKI, 3.4%). Conclusions: Among 818 renal biopsy specimens, MsPGN and IgAN were the most frequent biopsy-proven renal diseases. MGN was the third most common cause of primary GN and lupus nephritis (LN) was the most common secondary glomerular disease. Our data contribute to the epidemiology of renal disease in South Korea.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to assess the role of hypophosphatemia in major clinical outcomes of patients treated with low- or high-intensity continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). METHODS We performed a retrospective analysis of data collected from 492 patients. We divided patients into two CRRT groups based on treatment intensity (greater than or equal to or less than 40 mL/kg/hour of effluent generation) and measured serum phosphate level daily during CRRT. RESULTS We obtained a total of 1,440 phosphate measurements on days 0, 1, and 2 and identified 39 patients (7.9%), 74 patients (15.0%), and 114 patients (23.1%) with hypophosphatemia on each of these respective days. In patients treated with low-intensity CRRT, there were 23 episodes of hypophosphatemia/1,000 patient days, compared with 83 episodes/1,000 patient days in patients who received high-intensity CRRT (P < 0.01). Multiple Cox proportional hazards analysis showed that Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) III score, utilization of vasoactive drugs, and arterial pH on the second day of CRRT were significant predictors of mortality, while serum phosphate level was not a significant contributor to mortality. CONCLUSION APACHE score, use of vasoactive drugs, and arterial pH on the second CRRT day were identified as significant predictors of mortality. Hypophosphatemia might not be a major risk factor of increased mortality in patients treated with CRRT.

Abstract
Background Pityriasis lichenoides (PL)-like skin lesions rarely appear as a specific manifestation of mycosis fungoides (MF). Objective We investigated the clinicopathological features, immunophenotypes, and treatments of PL-like MF. Methods This study included 15 patients with PL-like lesions selected from a population of 316 patients diagnosed with MF at one institution. Results The patients were between 4 and 59 years of age. Four patients were older than 20 years of age. All of the patients had early-stage MF. In all patients, the atypical lymphocytic infiltrate had a perivascular distribution with epidermotropism. The CD4/CD8 ratio was <1 in 12 patients. Thirteen patients were treated with either narrowband ultraviolet B (NBUVB) or psoralen+ultraviolet A (PUVA), and all of them had complete responses. Conclusion PL-like MF appears to have a favorable prognosis and occurrence of this variant in adults is uncommon. MF should be suspected in the case of a PL-like skin eruption. Therefore, biopsy is required to confirm the diagnosis of PL-like MF, and NBUVB is a clinically effective treatment.

Abstract
Incidence of AKI in hospitalized patients with cancer is increasing, but there have been few studies on AKI in patients with cancer. We conducted a retrospective cohort study in a South Korean tertiary care hospital. A total of 2211 consecutive patients (without cancer 61.5%; with cancer 38.5%) were included over a 140-month period. Predictors of all-cause death were examined using the Kaplan-Meier method and the Cox proportional hazards model. The main contributing factors of AKI were sepsis (31.1%) and ischemia (52.7%). AKI was multifactorial in 78% of patients with cancer and in 71% of patients without cancer. Hospital mortality rates were higher in patients with cancer (42.8%) than in patients without cancer (22.5%) (p = 0.014). In multivariate analyses, diabetes mellitus (DM) and cancer diagnosis were associated with hospital mortality. Cancer diagnosis was independently associated with mortality [odds ratio = 3.010 (95% confidence interval, 2.340-3.873), p = 0.001]. Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed that subjects with DM and cancer (n = 146) had lower survival rates than subjects with DM and without cancer (n = 687) (log rank test, p = 0.001). The presence of DM and cancer was independently associated with mortality in AKI patients both with and without cancer. Studies are warranted to determine whether proactive measures may limit AKI and improve outcomes.

Abstract
The aim of this paper is to report the autopsy findings of an Idiopathic Infantile Arterial Calcification-new-born male and describe its follow-up. Y.R, a 23-days-old male, hasn't any relevant personal past medical or family history. The baby was weighing 3.2 kg at birth. He was breast fed and appeared to be perfectly normal. In the last 24 hours, he presented to the family doctor with vomitis, refuse of feeds without fever or diarrhea. He was diagnosed as having gastroenteritis and was medicated accordingly. A few hours later, he had an hematemese episode associated with facial cyanosis. Death occurred despite cardio-pulmonary resuscitation. Forensic autopsy was required. The macroscopic examination showed a bilateral pleural liquid effusion without any other abnormalities. Microscopic investigation revealed a generalized arterial calcification of all organs. Idiopathic arterial calcification is primarily a disease of infancy. It is characterized pathologically by generalized arterial calcification within the internal elastic lamina, associated with intimal fibrous proliferation. Death occur often in the first sixth months due to heart failure.

Abstract
CONTEXT Pheochromocytoma is a catecholamine-producing tumor characterized by hypertension, headache, tachycardia, excessive diaphoresis and angina. The thunderclap headache is so named because the pain strikes suddenly and severely. Although the symptoms of bladder pheochromocytoma are rather evident, the diagnosis of this rare neuroendocrine tumor can be missed. CASE REPORT This study reports the case of a woman diagnosed with bladder pheochromocytoma who experienced thunderclap headache triggered by micturition and angina as an initial manifestation. CONCLUSION This case study suggests that thunderclap headache and angina occurring concurrently with sudden blood pressure elevation during or immediately after micturition are important diagnostic clues for bladder pheochromocytoma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Aldosterone antagonists have been proven to be efficient in the management of hypertension and the reduction of proteinuria; however, they are not widely used because of the risk of hyperkalemia. We assessed the predictors of hyperkalemia risk following hypertension control using aldosterone blockade in the presence or absence of chronic kidney disease (CKD). METHODS A total of 6,575 patients with hypertension treated between January 1, 2000, and November 30, 2012, were evaluated for the safety of an aldosterone-blocking agent (spironolactone) added to preexisting blood pressure-lowering regimens. Hyperkalemia was defined as a serum potassium level ≥5.0 mEq/l. All patients used 3 mechanistically complementary antihypertensive agents, including a diuretic and a RAAS blocker. Patients were evaluated after 4 and 8 weeks of treatment. The incidence of hyperkalemia, significant renal dysfunction [a reduction of the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥30%], and adverse effects was assessed. RESULTS The incidence of hyperkalemia in the presence or absence of CKD was 50.4 and 42.6% after 4 weeks (p = 0.001) and 3.8 and 3.0% after 8 weeks, respectively (p = 0.371). A logistic regression analysis revealed that medication, CKD, basal hyperkalemia, reduction in eGFR, and diabetes were all predictive of a hyperkalemia risk following spironolactone use. CONCLUSION Spironolactone was well tolerated by selected CKD patients. The risk of serious hyperkalemia or a significant reduction of eGFR appears to be low. Strict monitoring over the first month of treatment followed by standard surveillance for angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin II receptor blockers is suggested.

Abstract
Bartter syndrome is a renal tubular defect in electrolyte transport characterized by hypokalemia, metabolic alkalosis, hyperreninemia, hyperaldosteronism, normal blood pressure, and other clinical symptoms. As a clinical and genetical heterogeneous disorder, this syndrome can be classified into two clinical variants, antenatal Bartter syndrome and classic Bartter syndrome according to the onset age. Nephrocalcinosis is common in antenatal Bartter syndrome, but is rare in classic Bartter syndrome. It can also be classified into five genetic subtypes by the underlying mutant gene, all of which are expressed in the tubular epithelial cells of the thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle. Patients with Bartter syndrome type 1, 2 and 4 present at a younger age than classic Bartter syndrome type 3. We have experienced a case of Bartter syndrome with nephrocalcinosis in a 42-year-old woman diagnosed by biochemical and radiologic studies. We had successful response with potassium chloride and spironolactone.

Abstract
The cirrhotic patients with ascites present unique challenge to the renal caregiver. Hydrothorax in a cirrhotic patient treated with PD poses a diagnostic dilemma. Proposed mechanisms for the development of a pleuroperitoneal communication include congenital diaphragmatic defects, acquired weakening of diaphragmatic fibers caused by high intra-abdominal pressures during peritoneal dialysis, and impairments in lymphatic drainage. Pleural fluid analysis and diagnostic imaging assist in differentiation from other causes of pleural effusion. We report a case of hydrothorax in a compensated cirrhotic patient after recent introduction to peritoneal dialysis.

Abstract
Peritonitis is a common and potentially serious infection in patients undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). The most common organisms usually associated with CAPD peritonitis are <italic>Staphylococcus aureus</italic> and <italic>Staphylococcus epidermidis</italic>. Rarely, aerobic gram negative bacilli have been the causative agents of CAPD peritonitis. The treatment of CAPD peritonitis requires removal of the peritoneal catheter and treatment with parenteral antibiotics active against the causative pathogen. While hospitalized for CAPD peritonitis, a 55-year-old man on CAPD had nosocomial peritonitis secondary to infection by ESBL–producing <italic>E. coli</italic>, that was sensitive to imipenem and meropenem. He was treated successfully with a 4-week course of intraperitoneal meropenem therapy without subsequent relapse, loss of peritoneal catheter, ultrafiltration failure, or dialysis inadequacy.

Abstract
Background The objective of this study was to examine the correlation between arterial blood gas (ABG) and peripheral venous blood gas (VBG) samples for all commonly used parameters in patients admitted to a medical intensive care unit (ICU). Methods A single-center, prospective trial was carried out in a medical ICU in order to determine the level of correlation of ABG and peripheral VBG measurements. A maximum of five paired ABG–VBG samples were obtained per patient to prevent a single patient from dominating the data set. Results Regression equations were derived to predict arterial values from venous values as follows: arterial pH=−1.108+1.145×venous pH+0.008×PCO2−0.012×venous HCO3+0.002×venous total CO2 (R2=0.655), arterial PCO2=88.6−10.888×venous pH+0.150×PCO2+0.812×venous HCO3+0.124×venous total CO2 (R2=0.609), arterial HCO3=−89.266+12.677×venous pH+0.042×PCO2+0.675×venous HCO3+0.185×venous total CO2 (R2=0.782). The mean ABG minus peripheral VBG differences for pH, PCO2, and bicarbonates were not clinically important for between–person heterogeneity. Conclusion Peripheral venous pH, PCO2, bicarbonates, and total CO2 may be used as alternatives to their arterial equivalents in many clinical contexts encountered in the ICU.

Abstract
CONTEXT Tacrolimus is a potent immunosuppressive drug often administered to transplant recipient patients and exhibits a variety of adverse cardiovascular effects. CASE REPORT We report a case of a 53-year-old Asian female who developed various arrhythmic phenomena including atrial premature complexes and supraventricular tachycardia after administration of tacrolimus. CONCLUSION Tacrolimus-associated arrhythmia after kidney transplantation may be life-threatening, and so patients undergoing this procedure should be carefully monitored.

Abstract
In most continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) studies, end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients were excluded and the outcomes of patients with ESRD treated with chronic hemodialysis (HD) were unknown. The purposes of this study were to (1) evaluate short-term patient survival and (2) compare the survival of conventional HD patients needing CRRT with the survival of non-ESRD patients in acute kidney injury (AKI) requiring CRRT. We evaluated adults (>18 years) requiring CRRT who were treated in the intensive care unit (ICU) at Kosin University Gospel Hospital from January 1, 2009 to December 31, 2010. A total of 100 (24 ESRD, 76 non-ESRD) patients underwent CRRT during the study period. Patients were divided into two major groups: patients with ESRD requiring chronic dialysis and patients without ESRD (non-ESRD) with AKI. We compared the survival of conventional HD patients requiring CRRT with the survival of non-ESRD patients in AKI requiring CRRT. For non-ESRD patients, the 90-day survival rate was 41.6%. For ESRD patients, the 90-day survival rate was 55.3%. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards analyses demonstrated that conventional HD was not a significant predictor of mortality (hazard ratio [HR]: 0.334, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.063-1.763, P = 0.196), after adjustment for age, gender, presence of sepsis, APACHE score, use of vasoactive drugs, number of organ failures, ultrafiltration rate, and arterial pH. The survival rates of non-ESRD and ESRD patients requiring CRRT did not differ; ESRD with conventional HD patients may be not a significant predictor of mortality.

Abstract
A 71-year-old man was admitted to our hospital for two weeks due to edema in both legs. A bone marrow aspiration test confirmed a diagnosis of multiple myeloma. The result of the patient's renal biopsy showed fibrillary glomerulonephritis (FGN). FGN is a rare form of glomerulopathy that is diagnosed using electron microscopy when deposits of amyloid-like fibrils are observed on the mesangium and microvascular wall. These fibrils do not respond to Congo red staining and are generally 12-30 nm in diameter. This is a report of an unusual case of fibrillary glomerulonephritis in a patient with multiple myeloma.

Abstract
Background The relationships among serum bilirubin concentration, kidney function and proteinuria have yet to be fully elucidated, nor have these relationships been investigated in Korean adults. Method We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of Korean adults who were evaluated at Kosin University Gospel Hospital (Busan, Republic of Korea) during a five-year period from January 2005 to December 2009. We evaluated the relationships among serum bilirubin concentration, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and 24-hour urinary protein excretion in a sample of 1363 Korean adults aged 18 years or older. Results The values of eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 and 24-hour urine albumin ≥150 mg/day were observed in 26.1% (n = 356) and 40.5% (n = 553) of subjects, respectively. Fasting glucose levels ≥126 mg/dL were observed in 44.9% (n = 612) of the total sample. After adjustment for potential confounding factors including demographic characteristics, comorbidities and other laboratory measures, total serum bilirubin was positively associated with eGFR and negatively associated with proteinuria both in the whole cohort and in a subgroup of diabetic individuals. Conclusions To our knowledge, this is the first hospital-based study specifically aimed at examining the relationships among serum total bilirubin concentration, 24-hour urine protein and kidney function in Korean adults. We demonstrated that serum total bilirubin concentration was negatively correlated with 24-hour urine protein and positively correlated with eGFR in Korean non-diabetic and diabetic adults.

Abstract
Background The role of chronic renal failure (CRF) in the antimicrobial resistance of uropathogens in patients with community-acquired acute pyelonephritis (APN) remains poorly understood. Method We performed a retrospective analysis of 502 adults (54 men, 448 women; mean age 61.7 ± 16.0 years, range 18-98 years) who were treated for community-acquired APN at Kosin University Gospel Hospital (Busan, Republic of Korea) during a ten-year period (January 2000 to December 2009). We evaluated the spectra and antimicrobial susceptibility profiles of uropathogens in CRF and non-CRF patients with community-acquired APN that presented as a positive urine culture. Results The 502 adult subjects were classified as either non-CRF APN patients (336 patients, 66.9%) or CRF APN patients (166 patients, 33.1%) according to their estimated glomerular filtration rate. No significant differences in the sensitivity of E. coli to a third cephalosporin, aminoglycoside (except gentamycin), or ciprofloxacin were observed between non-CRF and CRF patients. Conclusions In our series of patients with community-acquired APN that initially presented as a positive urine culture, CRF did not influence the isolation rates of different uropathogens or their patterns of susceptibility to antimicrobials.

Abstract
The mass effect of nephromegaly in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease may cause pain and symptoms by compressing the alimentary tract, lungs, and heart. Conventional therapies exist to contract enlarged polycystic kidneys including surgical and interventional procedures. A surgical nephrectomy is often difficult to perform in dialysis patients due to the associated risks related to surgery. In contrast, renal transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) with metallic coils, which is a less invasive interventional procedure, can also be utilized to contract enlarged kidneys in dialysis patients as an effective treatment. However, metallic coils present the possibility of recanalization and cost issues. Thus, we used ethanol instead of coils in renal TAE to resolve these issues. We report a dialysis patient with enlarged polycystic kidneys and poor oral intake due to abdominal distention that was successfully treated by TAE with absolute ethanol.

Abstract
Previous reports have noted an association between membranous nephropathy and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis with Guillain-Barre syndrome. We report a case of Campylobacter enteritis, which was complicated by both focal segmental glomerulosclerosis of the collapsing variety and Guillain-Barre syndrome, and propose that Campylobacter may be the common link between the glomerular disease and Guillain-Barre syndrome. We also briefly review previous reports of kidney disease associated with Campylobacter infection.
