TLDR
The kidneys are frequently targeted by pathogenic immune responses against renal autoantigens or by local manifestations of systemic autoimmunity, causing intestinal barrier dysfunction, systemic inflammation and immunodeficiency that contribute to the morbidity and mortality of patients with kidney disease.Abstract:
The kidneys are frequently targeted by pathogenic immune responses against renal autoantigens or by local manifestations of systemic autoimmunity. Recent studies in rodent models and humans have uncovered several underlying mechanisms that can be used to explain the previously enigmatic immunopathology of many kidney diseases. These mechanisms include kidney-specific damage-associated molecular patterns that cause sterile inflammation, the crosstalk between renal dendritic cells and T cells, the development of kidney-targeting autoantibodies and molecular mimicry with microbial pathogens. Conversely, kidney failure affects general immunity, causing intestinal barrier dysfunction, systemic inflammation and immunodeficiency that contribute to the morbidity and mortality of patients with kidney disease. In this Review, we summarize the recent findings regarding the interactions between the kidneys and the immune system.read more

TL;DR: This guideline provides recommendations on the clinical and public health management of tuberculosis in children and adults in settings in which mycobacterial cultures, molecular and phenotypic drug susceptibility tests, and radiographic studies, among other diagnostic tools, are available on a routine basis.

Inflammation in AKI: Current Understanding, Key Questions, and Knowledge Gaps
Hamid Rabb,Matthew D. Griffin,Dianne B. McKay,Sundararaman Swaminathan,Peter Pickkers,Mitchell H. Rosner,John A. Kellum,Claudio Ronco +7 more
TL;DR: The most important recent developments in understanding the inflammatory mechanisms of AKI are summarized, key limitations of the commonly used animal models and clinical trial designs that may prevent successful clinical application are highlighted, and priority approaches for research toward clinical translation are suggested.

Hye Ryoun Jang,Hamid Rabb +1 more
TL;DR: Experimental studies of immune cells in AKI have resulted in improved understanding of the immune mechanisms underlying AKI and will be the foundation for development of novel diagnostic and therapeutic targets.

Organ and tissue fibrosis: Molecular signals, cellular mechanisms and translational implications
TL;DR: Specific mechanistic principles of fibrosis regression involve the resolution of chronic tissue injury, the shift of inflammatory processes towards recovery, deactivation of myofibroblasts and finally fibrolysis of excess matrix scaffold.

T-helper cells as new players in ANCA-associated vasculitides
TL;DR: Nonfunctionality of TRegs described in AAV patients may be caused by their conversion into IL-17-producing cells that may contribute to granulomatous vasculitis.

Plasma leakage through glomerular basement membrane ruptures triggers the proliferation of parietal epithelial cells and crescent formation in non-inflammatory glomerular injury
Mi Ryu,Adriana Migliorini,Nicolai Miosge,Oliver Gross,Stuart J. Shankland,Paul T. Brinkkoetter,Henning Hagmann,Paola Romagnani,Helen Liapis,Hans-Joachim Anders +9 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that glomerular vascular injury and GBM breaks cause plasma leakage which triggers a wound healing programme involving the proliferation of parietal cells and their loss of polarity and can trigger cellular and fibrocellular crescent formation even in the absence of cellular inflammation and rupture of the Bowman's capsule.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that interaction of CD4+ T cells with intrinsic renal cells expressing MHC II is required for development of cell-mediated immune renal injury.

TL;DR: After UUO, renal DCs exhibit inflammatory morphological and functional characteristics and are more effective antigen-presenting cells, but they do not directly contribute to tubulointerstitial damage and fibrosis.

TL;DR: It is suggested that renal mast cells mediate crescentic GN by facilitating effector cell recruitment into glomeruli via augmentation of adhesion molecule expression.
