My Nephrology Registrar Seminar Talk from September 2013
Topics Covered
Pathogenesis of Diabetic Nephropathy
Other Renal Disease in Diabetes
Treatment of Diabetic Kidney Disease + The Joint Renal Diabetic Clinic
Approximately 10 to 30 percent of patients with proliferative lupus nephritis progress to end-stage renal disease (ESRD), depending upon the severity of the disease, ancestral and socioeconomic factors, noncompliance, and the response to initial treatment.
Overall prognosis has improved in recent decades, perhaps due to the use of combined immunosuppression .

palliative management of CRC and Mechanical bowel preparation in case of CRC alongwith Treatment guidleines of grade 4 CRC in presence of metastasis
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) often presents with vague symptoms in its early stages, and patients may remain asymptomatic. As the disease progresses, common clinical features may include:
Hematuria: Blood in the urine is a common sign, often presenting as either visible blood or microscopic hematuria.
Flank Pain: Discomfort or pain in the side or lower back, potentially associated with tumor expansion or pressure on surrounding structures.
Palpable Abdominal Mass: A palpable lump or mass in the abdomen may be felt during a physical examination.
Weight Loss and Fatigue: Advanced stages may lead to unintended weight loss and fatigue.
Paraneoplastic Syndromes: Some RCCs produce hormones or cytokines, leading to paraneoplastic syndromes, such as elevated erythropoietin levels causing polycythemia.
Pathology:
Histological Subtypes: Clear cell, papillary, chromophobe, and other rare subtypes exist. Clear cell is the most common and typically associated with worse prognosis.
Genetic and Molecular Alterations: Mutations in tumor suppressor genes (e.g., VHL, PBRM1, BAP1), chromosomal deletions, and alterations in cellular pathways contribute to RCC development.
Tumor Grading: Fuhrman grade and ISUP grading system assess tumor differentiation, with higher grades indicating a poorer prognosis.
Tumor Necrosis: Histologic coagulative tumor necrosis is an independent predictor of outcome.
Imaging:
CT Scan: High-resolution computed tomography (CT) imaging is the primary modality for RCC diagnosis and staging, providing detailed visualization of the tumor, surrounding structures, and potential metastases.
MRI: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) offers additional soft tissue contrast and is particularly useful for characterizing renal masses.
Ultrasound: Ultrasound may be used for initial assessment and is effective in detecting solid masses but may have limitations in characterizing complex lesions.
Nuclear Medicine: Positron emission tomography (PET) scans can be used for staging and detecting distant metastases.
Prognosis:
TNM Staging: The tumor, node, metastasis (TNM) staging system stratifies patients based on the extent of disease.
Anatomic Factors: Invasion into the renal vein or inferior vena cava, perinephric fat extension, and involvement of the urinary collecting system impact prognosis.
Histopathological Factors: Clear cell histology, higher tumor grade, and tumor necrosis are associated with a worse prognosis.
Molecular Markers: Various molecular markers, genetic alterations, and gene expression profiles can provide additional prognostic information.
Survival Rates: Prognosis varies widely, with early-stage disease having better survival rates compared to advanced stages. Advances in targeted therapies and immunotherapy have improved outcomes for some patients with advanced RCC.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

An update on cancer after kidney transplantation
1. AN UPDATE ON CANCER AFTER
KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION
NEPHROLDIAL TRANSPLANT
SCIENTHIA SANJEEVANI
MODERATOR –DR GAGANDEEP CHHABRA
JOURNAL CLUB
22/11/18
2. INTRODUCTION
• CKD and cancer have bidirectional relationship- cancer can cause CKD and CKD itself a risk
factor for cancer.
• Kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) - 2- to 3-fold increased cancer risk when compared with the
general population.
• Causes -
Related to CKD including cancers of the kidney, urinary tract and thyroid
Related to oncogenic viruses that include non-Hodgkin lymphoma, cervical cancer,
nonmelanoma skin cancer and Kaposi’s sarcoma.
3. CKD AND CANCER
Predisposing factors
• chronic infections
• increased susceptibility to oncogenic viruses
(e.g., HPV, hep B and C)
• altered immune system
• acquired cystic disease in ESRD patients is a well
known Risk for RCC
SPECIFIC RISK FACTORS FOR cancer of the
kidney/renal pelvis and bladder
• acquired renal cystic disease in dialysis patient
• Balkan nephropathy
• aristolochic acid exposure,
• analgesic abuse, cyclosphosphamide
4. CANCER SCREENING IN ESRD
• Over one-third of patients with limited life expectancies still receive such testing with little
likelihood of benefit
• early detection through screening will lead to the need for additional procedures and tests with
the potential for harm.
7. Use individual approach
• Clinical judgment is critical
Who are going to benefit ??
• patients with acceptable life expectancy benefit from age-appropriate cancer screening.
• strong family history of cancer or specific risks
• candidates for transplantation
8. Cancer surveillance as pre-transplant work-
up
• No clinical practice guidelines have specific recommendations for surveillance of pretransplant
cancers
• In general, applying the cancer surveillance program used in the regional general population
for the evaluation of potential KTRs is a reasonable approach
10. Relative risk of cancer
Lip cancer >10 fold
Kaposi sarcoma >50 fold
Anogenital area >4 fold
Colorectal cancer, lung cancer 40-50 %
NHL >8 fold
11. DE NOVO CANCER IN KIDNEY
TRANSPLANT RECIPIENTS
• KTRs are approximately two to three times more likely to develop cancers than the age- and
gender-matched general population
Risk factors of cancer after kidney transplant
• Related to ESRD (RCC and urinary tract infection)
• Immunosuppression
• Viral infections
12. Immunosuppresive drug
• Most important modifiable factor
• antilymphocyte globulin, particularly OKT3 (muromonab-CD3) lymphoma
• Cyclosporine can promote carcinogenesis
• Tacrolimus stimulate TGFβ expression and exert neoplastic effects
-Collaborative Transplant Study (CTS) database, deceased KTRs had a 2-fold higher risk
of developing lymphoma with tacrolimus than with cycloporine.
• In MMF group there was even a trend toward a lower risk of malignancy in both registries
[OPTN/UNOS and CTS and a significant increase in time to cancers in the CTS database
-can be due to lower rates of acute rejection in mycophenolate-containing regimens.
13. • mTOR inhibitors may confer a lower risk of cancer
-Rapamune Maintenance Regimen Study, patients who received sirolimus-based, CNI-free
therapy after cyclosporine withdrawal at Month 3 had a reduced incidence of both skin and
nonskin malignancies at 5 years after kidney transplantation compared with those who received
sirolimus therapy combined with cyclosporine
-A systematic review and meta-analysis of 21 randomized trials demonstrated that sirolimus was
associated with a 40% decrease in the overall risk of and a 56% decrease in the risk of
nonmelanoma skin cancer when compared with controls. This result was most pronounced in
patients who converted from an established immunosuppressive regimen to sirolimus with an
overall decrease in malignancy risk
- Transplant registry study showed that the overall cancer incidence was lower during sirolimus
use the incidence of prostate cancer was higher in the sirolimus group, which could be
by the screening effect or detection bias. The incidence of non prostate cancers was similar or
lower with sirolimus use
14. • Belatacept is associated with an elevated risk of posttransplant lymphoproliferative disease
(PTLD),especially within the central nervous system
16. BKV virus
• urothelial carcinogenesis
• BKV nephropathy had almost a 3-fold increased incidence of bladder cancers when compared
patients without BK nephropathy
17. RCC IN KTP
• most common urologic malignancy following kidney transplantation
• Disproportionately greater incidence of RCC compared to the general population, and the
elevation is substantially higher for papillary than for clear cell tumors.
• Approximately 0.5% and 1.0% of kidney recipients are diagnosed with RCC within 5 and 10 years
after transplant, respectively
• biphasic onset of RCC following transplant: a high risk immediately after transplant, a fall in risk
until roughly 2.5 years after transplant, and then a subsequent gradual increase with time
18. Risk factors for RCC post KTP
• highest in individuals who had prolonged dialysis prior to transplantation
• increased risk related to induction therapy with polyclonal antibodies (for ccRCC) and IL2
antagonists (for papillary RCC)
• early RCC tumors likely arise in the native kidney as a result of malignant transformation of renal
cysts that had developed before transplantation as a part of ACKD
19. Prognosis
• overall risk of cancer death is 2.3 times greater after kidney transplantation in a Chinese registry
study.
• The risk is particularly high in certain types of cancers such as non- Hodgkin lymphoma, kidney
and bladder cancers.
• A recent large cohort study showed that a history of previous malignancy does not have an
additive effect on cancer-specific and all-cause mortality in KTRs who develop cancer
20. Management of posttransplant cancers
• mainstay of treatment for posttransplant cancers, especially those related to immunosuppressed
status such as PTLD and KS, is the judicious reduction of immunosuppression.
• Should be balanced against the risk of allograft rejection or deterioration in kidney function
• In a study of 15 KTRs diagnosed with KS, the lesions in all patients had disappeared 3months
after sirolimus was substituted for cyclosporine
• In another cohort study of 20 KTRs who developed posttransplant cancers, CNIs, azathioprine or
MMF were discontinued abruptly while sirolimus was introduced. After a mean followup of
14months, two patients with large B-cell lymphoma and four with KS had full regression of
tumors. On the other hand, those patients with advanced or disseminated cancers showed
tumor progression. All patients, except one with impaired kidney function at the start ofmTOR
inhibitor treatment, had allograftfunction preserved
21. Novel targeted therapy in kidney
transplant
• Check point inhibitors which enhance antitumor T-cell immunity leading to significant clinical
benefits in tumor regression and prolonged stabilization of various types of cancer
antiprogram death 1 (PD-1)
anticytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4)
• B cells may also be activated as a direct effect on memory B cells expressing PD-1 if there was a
reduction in immunosuppression or prior sensitization of the transplanted organ
• increases the activation of T cells, not only against cancer cells, but also against other cells such as
kidney allograft donor antigens
• these antibodies were associated with cell- and antibody-mediated rejection in KTRs
• postulated that a regimen of preemptive glucocorticoid and
• mTOR inhibitor may be able to prevent the adverse immune response of immune checkpoint inhibitor
in the KTR
23. Conclusion
• a personalized approach based on the individual cancer risk, life expectancy and concurrent
comorbidities have to be adopted.
• Factors such as competing risks of cardiovascular deaths, life expectancies and differences in
diagnostic performance should be considered
Editor's Notes
Figure 1. Ratio observed/expected malignancies in graft recipients (76).
established RCC risk factors in the general population include male sex, older age, African descent, excess body weight, cigarette smoking, and hypertension
the general population, ccRCC and papillary RCC comprise about 70% and 10-15% of RCC cases, respectively
