A case report of paraproteinemia-associated pauci-immune glomerulonephritis – a new form of monoclonal gammopathy of renal significance? Open
We propose a novel pathologic mechanism involving monoclonal proteins as a trigger for pauci-immune glomerulonephritis, potentially via complement dysregulation and/or neutrophil activation. This requires further epidemiologic and mechanis…

Tackling the Fallout From Chronic Kidney Disease of Unknown Etiology: Why We Need to Focus on Providing Peritoneal Dialysis in Rural, Low-Resource Settings Open
Recent analyses have shown that in low- and middle-income countries, fewer than a quarter of patients reaching end-stage renal disease initiate dialysis. Hemodialysis is the default predominant therapy even in these low-resource settings; …
