    Abstract: Monoclonal gammopathy with undetermined significance (MGUS) carries a risk of progression to multiple myeloma, and progression is usually diagnosed with changes in M-protein or bone marrow biopsy. We report a case of 62-year-old female patient showing MGUS progression to multiple myeloma without significant changes in M-protein but diagnosed by kidney biopsy. During the follow-ups, azotemia and tubular proteinuria were aggravated without elevation of M-protein. Kidney biopsy showed intratubular and glomerular inclusions associated with plasma cell dysplasia. The progression of MGUS to multiple myeloma was diagnosed by this kidney biopsy. The patient's renal function and tubular proteinuria were markedly improved after chemotherapy.

    Abstract: 〈 b 〉 〈 i 〉 Background: 〈 /i 〉 〈 /b 〉 Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is the standard treatment for severe acute kidney injury in critically ill patients. However, a practical consensus for discontinuing CRRT is lacking. We aimed to develop a prediction model with simple clinical parameters for successful discontinuation of CRRT. 〈 b 〉 〈 i 〉 Methods: 〈 /i 〉 〈 /b 〉 Adult patients who received CRRT at Samsung Medical Center from 2007 to 2017 were included. Patients with preexisting ESRD and patients who progressed to ESRD within 1 year or died within 7 days after CRRT were excluded. Successful discontinuation of CRRT was defined as no requirement for renal replacement therapy for 7 days after discontinuing CRRT. Patients were assigned to either a success group or failure group according to whether discontinuation of CRRT was successful or not. 〈 b 〉 〈 i 〉 Results: 〈 /i 〉 〈 /b 〉 A total of 1,158 patients were included in the final analyses. The success group showed greater urine output on the day before CRRT discontinuation (D-1) and the discontinuation day (D0). Multivariable analysis identified that urine output ≥300 mL on D-1, and mean arterial pressure 50∼78 mm Hg, serum potassium & #x3c;4.1 mmol/L, and BUN & #x3c;35 mg/dL (12.5 mmol/L) on D0 were predictive factors for successful discontinuation of CRRT. A scoring system using the 4 variables above (area under the receiver operating curve: 0.731) was developed. 〈 b 〉 〈 i 〉 Conclusions: 〈 /i 〉 〈 /b 〉 Scoring system composed of urine output ≥300 mL/day on D-1, and adequate blood pressure, serum potassium & #x3c;4.1 mmol/L, and BUN & #x3c;35 mg/dL (12.5 mmol/L) on D0 was developed to predict successful discontinuation of CRRT.

    Abstract: 〈 i 〉 Background: 〈 /i 〉 In chronic renal failure (CRF), residual nephrons can increase their excretion of sodium (Na) and potassium (K). However, the mechanisms of renal Na and K regulation in late-stage CRF have not been clearly investigated. 〈 i 〉 Methods: 〈 /i 〉 We examined altered expression of major renal Na and K transporters in Sprague-Dawley rats at 4 and 12 weeks after a 5/6 nephrectomy. 〈 i 〉 Results: 〈 /i 〉 CRF rats were azotemic and had gradually increased levels of urinary Na and K excretion over time. At 4 weeks, the abundance of Na-K-2Cl cotransporter (NKCC2), and Na-Cl cotransporter (NCC) in CRF rats increased significantly (477 and 222% of the control, respectively). In contrast, expression of NKCC2 and NCC decreased markedly at 12 weeks (55.4 and 30.8%, respectively). Expression of epithelial Na channel-α increased throughout the whole period. The abundance of renal outer medullary K-channel (ROMK) and Na-K-ATPase did not decrease at 4 weeks, but it was reduced at 12 weeks. 〈 i 〉 Conclusion: 〈 /i 〉 We suggest that increased urinary Na excretion in late-stage CRF may be associated with decreased expression of renal Na transporters except ENaC compared to early-stage CRF, and that increased urinary K excretion in the late stage of CRF may not be related to expression of ROMK.
