Nephrotic syndrome is associated with several kidney diseases such as minimal change disease (MCD), primary focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), and membranous nephropathy (MN), and is characterized by high levels of protein in the urine. This condition primarily stems from damage to podocytes, the cells that filter blood in the kidneys, which results in protein leakage into the urine. Often, children diagnosed with MCD or FSGS are categorized under idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (INS), indicating an unknown cause. This is typically because children with elevated urinary protein levels seldom undergo kidney biopsies, which are the standard method for determining the underlying cause. Traditionally, the diagnosis of these conditions has been complicated due to their similar histological features and a general reluctance to perform invasive kidney biopsies, especially in children. Although anti-nephrin autoantibodies have been detected in some patients with MCD and FSGS, their exact role in the progression of these diseases remains ...
Respiratory tract infections, predominantly caused by viral pathogens, are a common reason for healthcare visits. Accurate and swift diagnosis of these infections is essential for optimal patient management. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, there have been significant advancements in laboratory medicine, enhancing the testing capabilities for respiratory viruses. These advancements include the use of diverse sample types and the introduction of various new testing methods. However, these developments have also created a need for greater educational efforts on how best to utilize these novel testing options. Addressing this need, a new guidance document has been released, offering expert advice on essential aspects of clinical testing for respiratory viral infections, aiming to maximize the benefits of recent technological advances in this rapidly evolving field. This guidance has been formed by a multidisciplinary team of clinical microbiologists and infectious disease clinicians convened by the Association for Diagnostics & Laboratory Medicine (ADLM, ...
