INTRODUCTION: Diabetic nephropathy (DN), distinguished by detrimental changes in the renal glomeruli, is regarded as the leading cause of death from end-stage renal disease among diabetics. Cellular senescence plays a paramount role, profoundly affec...
Automated evaluation of all glomeruli throughout the whole kidney is essential for the comprehensive study of kidney function as well as understanding the mechanisms of kidney disease and development. The emerging large-volume microscopic optical ima...
This study aimed to develop and validate a combined nomogram model based on superb microvascular imaging (SMI)-based deep learning (DL), radiomics characteristics, and clinical factors for noninvasive differentiation between immunoglobulin A nephropa...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The Oxford Classification for IgA nephropathy is the most successful example of an evidence-based nephropathology classification system. The aim of our study was to replicate the glomerular components of Oxford scoring with ...
Morphological alterations at the kidney filtration barrier increase intrinsic capillary wall permeability resulting in albuminuria. However, automated, quantitative assessment of these morphological changes has not been possible with electron or ligh...
(1) Objective: Identification of potential genetic biomarkers for various glomerulonephritis (GN) subtypes and discovering the molecular mechanisms of GN. (2) Methods: four microarray datasets of GN were downloaded from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) ...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Tiny spike-like projections on the basement membrane of glomeruli are the main pathological feature of membranous nephropathy at stage II (MN II), which is the most significant stage for the diagnosis and treatment of renal ...
BACKGROUND: Advanced stages of different renal diseases feature glomerular sclerosis at a histological level which is observed by light microscopy on tissue samples obtained by performing a kidney biopsy. Computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) systems levera...
BACKGROUND: Compilation of different morphological lesion signatures is characteristic of renal pathology. Previous studies have documented the potential value of artificial intelligence (AI) in recognizing relatively clear-cut glomerular structures ...
Pathologists use multiple microscopy modalities to assess renal biopsy specimens. Besides usual diagnostic features, some changes are too subtle to be properly defined. Computational approaches have the potential to systematically quantitate subvisua...
