From altered renal hemodynamics to direct tubular injury, myoglobin-mediated toxicity, and immune-complex deposition, dengue-associated AKI reflects a complex interplay of mechanisms.
Recognizing these pathways adds another layer to understanding severe dengue.

Dengue and the kidneys 🦟🫘
Acute kidney injury is an important, yet often underrecognized, complication of dengue.
What makes dengue-associated AKI multifactorial? Let’s look at the mechanisms. 🧵
#NephroNook#AKI#Sri's pages #NEET
Dengue can injure the kidneys through multiple routes:
🩸 Hemodynamic compromise
🫘 Tubular and glomerular injury
💪 Rhabdomyolysis with pigment nephropathy
🧬 Immune-mediated damage
The final common pathway? Acute kidney injury.

The Weekly Nephron is back!
And the Onconeph fever is not over yet.
📝We have yet another paper (an accepted manuscript rather) @CKJsocial guiding us on a practical and confusing question!
This week’s 🧵 is by @DrAkshayaJ@ERAkidney@PepaSolerR@ClaraGCarro@simeoni_m
Growing significance of the complement system in glomerular diseases, with an expanding therapeutic repertoire.
