Sodium glucose transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2-i) reduce renal and cardiovascular events in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and their use is recommended by the 2020 KDIGO guidelines in p...
Central venous stenosis (CVS) is one of the most challenging complications in hemodialysis patients. Venous thoracic outlet syndrome (vTOS) is an underappreciated cause of CVS in a dialysis ...
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is the leading cause for end-stage renal disease worldwide. Until now, there is no specific therapy available. Standard treatment with inhibitors of renin-angiotens...
The lack of effective therapies for patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is often ascribed to the heterogeneity of patients with HFpEF. We aimed to identify d...
To compare the effect of dynamic (DRT) and isometric (IRT) resistance training on glycemic homeostasis, lipid profile, and nitric oxide (NO) in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Patients were rand...
In this era of immune checkpoint inhibitors, inflammatory adverse events of anti-cancer therapies continue to pose a major challenge. Glucocorticoids, as the mainstay, were limited by serio...
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common heritable kidney disease. ADPKD leads to cysts, kidney enlargement and end-stage renal disease. ADPKD is mainly caused...
We investigated how age affected renal function in healthy subjects in Beijing and compared different estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) equations. Kidney function was evaluated by ...
The COVID-19 pandemic was quickly recognized as a highly contagious, relatively lethal infection that warranted close attention in patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). This is espe...
Oxidative stress promotes acute kidney injury (AKI). Higher concentrations of HDL cholesterol are associated with less AKI. To test the hypothesis that HDL antioxidant activity is associated...
Urinary proteomics studies have primarily focused on identifying markers of chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression. Here, we aimed to determine urinary markers of CKD renal parenchymal inj...
Sleep apnea-associated hypoxia and very short sleep are linked with a higher moderate-to-severe chronic kidney disease (CKD) prevalence when compared with “normal” sleep, explains Chandr...
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a global health problem with increasing prevalence. Several sex-specific differences have been reported for disease progression and mortality. Selection and s...
Increased myeloperoxidase (MPO) expression and activity are associated with atherosclerotic disease in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, the causal relationship between MP...
A lack of efficient coordination when caring for kidney disease can result in delayed treatment and missed opportunities for early intervention, highlighting the need for tools that more eff...
Comparing kidney disease progression among patients treated with direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) versus warfarin has not been well studied. We hypothesized that apixaban, compared with wa...
An arteriovenous fistula (AVF) in the non-dominant arm is the preferred access for hemodialysis (HD) patients. Prior peripheral intravenous (PIV) line placement can lead to vascular injury a...
The national prevalence of dialysis in China has not been well studied. We aimed to estimate the prevalence of patients receiving dialysis and predict the trend using claims data in order to...
With the establishment of antiretroviral treatment (ART) programs in low- and middle-income countries, people with HIV (PWH) in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) are living longer, subse...
Repository corticotropin injection (RCI) is indicated as adjunctive, short-term therapy in selected patients with RA. To characterize RCI users and identify predictors of RCI initiation in R...
