TL;DR: Three independent loci in the major histocompatibility complex, as well as a common deletion of CFHR1 and CFHR3 at chromosome 1q32 and a locus at chromosome 22q12 that each surpassed genome-wide significance, explain 4–7% of the disease variance and up to a tenfold variation in interindividual risk.

TL;DR: A genome-wide association study of IgA nephropathy (IgAN), the most common form of glomerulonephritis, with discovery and follow-up in 20,612 individuals of European and East Asian ancestry is performed, suggesting a possible role for host–intestinal pathogen interactions in shaping the genetic landscape of IgAN.
Cholesterol crystal embolism: A recognizable cause of renal disease

TL;DR: Renal atheroembolic disease is a difficult and controversial diagnosis for the protean extrarenal manifestations of the disease, and recent data suggest that an aggressive therapeutic approach with patient-tailored supportive measures may be associated with a favorable clinical outcome.

TL;DR: Baseline comorbidities, ie, reduced renal function, presence of diabetes, history of heart failure, acute/subacute presentation, and gastrointestinal tract involvement, were significant predictors of event occurrence.

TL;DR: Italian nephrologists have a longstanding tradition in implementing low protein diets in the treatment of CKD patients, with the principle objective of alleviating uremic symptoms, improving nutritional status and also a possibility of slowing down the progression of CKd or delaying the start of dialysis.
