"Immune mediated glomerular diseases are frequently encountered in nephrological practice. Nevertheless, our knowledge about their pathogenesis are far away of full understanding, especially when they develop in a kidney transplant recipient, as they are receiving effective immunosuppressive therapy in order to prevent allo-immune responses that, at less in theory, would protect the graft from further immunological damage. Moreover, it is curious that antibody (and complement) mediated allo-immune damage or antibody mediated rejection could be so different histopathologically from, for example, lupus nephropathy considering that both diseases share some pathophysiological mechanisms. In this case report from Darji, et al describe a well matched and young living kidney transplant recipient who develops a nephrotic syndrome just 3 months after transplantation due to a morphologically characteristic “idiopathic” membranous nephropathy. They discuss deeply the differential diagnosis to have in mind in cases like this one and propose a management plan highlighting what we know and we don´t know about de novo MN. The article is well written and is, clearly, provocative for readers interested in immune mediated kidney diseases of both, native and transplanted kidneys." [Collapse]

"The development of sequencing technology has expanded our knowledge of the human gastric microbiome, which is now known to play a critical role in the maintenance of homeostasis, while alterations in microbial community composition can promote the development of gastric diseases. Recently, carcinogenic effects of gastric microbiome have received increased attention. Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most common malignancies worldwide with a high mortality rate. Helicobacter pylori is a well-recognized risk factor for GC. More than half of the global population is infected with H. pylori, which can modulate the acidity of the stomach to alter the gastric microbiome profile, leading to H. pylori-associated diseases. Moreover, there is increasing evidence that bacteria other than H. pylori and their metabolites also contribute to gastric carcinogenesis. Therefore, clarifying the contribution of the gastric microbiome to the development and progression of GC can lead to improvements in prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. Author concluded that Streptococcaceae and Lactobacillaceae were enriched in HPNGC. In addition, from AG to Dys, Burkholderiaceae abundance increased continuously, while Streptococcaceae and Prevotellaceae presented a continuous downward trend in abundance, which suggested that Burkholderiaceae, Streptococcaceae, and Prevotellaceae might play different roles in the carcinogenesis of HPNGC.

"I enjoyed reading this article on the occurrence of Membranous Nephropathy in a kidney transplant patient. Post-transplant proteinuria ..." [Read more]

"I enjoyed reading this article on the occurrence of Membranous Nephropathy in a kidney transplant patient. Post-transplant proteinuria is a common, and often worrisome problem; which merits literature interest particularly if it leads to nephrotic syndrome. The authors described their experience with post-transplant nephrotic syndrome, which was eventually diagnosed as de-novo primary membranous glomerulonephritis. I agree with the differential diagnoses of recurrent MN, secondary MN or ABMR. Another possible angle is to check for anti-thrombospondin antibody, which has been extensively reported in the recent literature. As much as 70% of patients with idiopathic MN are linked to PLA2R, but remaining antigenic targets in other patients with idiopathic MN are unknown (1,2). Prevalence of THSD7A is around 3% in all IMN patients and 10% of PLA2R-negaiive patients. (3). THSD7A has generated a lot of interest in the recent literature, especially because it may confer a worse prognosis. In addition, it can be specifically stained and diagnosed on renal biopsy (unlike PLA2R). Tomas et al reported an interesting case of recurrent MN that returned quickly post-transplant, with positive thrombospondin antibody (4). Rapid occurrence of MN post-transplant suggests the presence of a pre-existing autoantibody. To be in line with the most current literature, the article should at least mention whether anti-THSD7A was checked or not. Post-transplant MN is not an uncommon phenomenon. In centers that do surveillance protocol biopsies, incidence could be around 10% (including recurrence of primary GN) (5). The natural history of post-transplant MN is continuing progression of NS (especially as patients already have a background of triple therapy), so treatment with additional immunosuppression could be warranted in the future. Literature evidence will support the addition of rituximab to the existing immunosuppressive regimen (6). The author mentioned cyclophosphamide for the treatment of IMN, but I cannot find any evidence for the use of cyclophosphamide in post-transplant MN. However, if the patient continues to do well with an augmented tacrolimus regime, I agree with the line of management by the authors. I will like to congratulate the authors for a well-written article. References 1. Jia Wang et al.

"My congratulations to the authors for sharing their digestive service experiences. I send my contributions only in the methodological aspect that can be improved in future research by the group. This is a cross-sectional study with independent group analysis. In this design, it is essential to have samples with maximum equality for a more reliable analysis. Study limitations are involved in this topic. Combining an old and a recent group undoubtedly leads to an important selection bias as pointed out by the authors, however, it adds to the induction of several other biases. I believe that the search for a probability sample from a statistical point of view with randomization instead of a convenience sample would provide a better validity study. Further examination of the tests could also be welcomed with a cross-analysis of differences between sensitivity and specificity. " [Collapse]

"The present manuscript is a comprehensive review of the current status of liver transplantaion (LT) for the treatment of cholangiocarcinoma (perihilar and intra-hepatic). This subject is highly important in the face of the dismal prognosis of non-resected tumors, and LT would be a valuable option for these patients.

"For a general reader this manuscript may be sufficient, on the contrary for a specialist reader it would be insufficient. Reading is easy and dynamic, however there are some comments to make: 1) when querying the databases it is correct to enter the questions asked but you should also enter inclusion and exclusion criteria. Although it is not a systematic revision, the diagram should refer to the PRISMA Statement and in the manuscript the figure should be inserted before the table.
