Polycystic liver disease (PLD) is a common extrarenal manifestation of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). Bile acids may play a role in PLD pathogenesis. We performed a po...
Automatic segmentation of the three substructures of glomerular filtration barrier (GFB) in transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images holds immense potential for aiding pathologists in r...
This study utilized serum proteomics with tandem mass tags (TMT) to investigate potential biomarkers associated with femoral central venous catheter (CVC) thrombosis in endstage kidney disea...
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is the main cause of end-stage renal disease, and there are no targeted treatment options at present. The efficacy of the new immunosuppressive drug (5R)-5-hydroxyt...
Tacrolimus (TAC) concentration in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) is regarded as a better predictor of its immunosuppressive effect than the TAC concentration in whole blood. Howe...
Excessive calcium-phosphorus product (Ca-P product) in individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with coronary artery calcification and coronary artery disease (CAD), but t...
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) represents a significant global health burden. Currently employed CKD biomarkers are influenced by various factors and lack accuracy in reflecting early-stage re...
Diabetes mellitus is a major risk factor for the development of chronic kidney disease (CKD). There is limited data addressing the value of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) to predict renal outco...
Sickle cell disease is an inherited red blood cell disorder that affects approximately 100,000 people in the U.S. and 25 million people worldwide. Vaso-occlusion and chronic hemolysis lead t...
Despite treatment, one-third of patients with lupus nephritis (LN) show a decline in renal function. Prognostic markers of poor outcome as well as novel therapeutic targets are therefore hig...
Total 25(OH)D (t-25[OH]D), a marker traditionally used in the assessment of vitamin D (VitD) in the human body, includes 25(OH)D , 25(OH)D , and C -epimers-25(OH)D (C -epi). In this study, w...
Renal allograft fibrosis is one of characteristic causes of long-term renal function loss. The purpose of our study is to investigate the association between fibrosis-related genes single nu...
A study has found that estimating time to kidney failure in advanced CKD can inform clinical decisions and patient counseling on prognosis....
The association between sarcopenia and kidney function remains poorly investigated. We aimed to evaluate the associations between sarcopenia status and kidney function (rapid kidney function...
When applying Pierce U25 formula for estimating glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), we observed a higher proportion of eGFR < 90 mL/min/1.73 m (chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 2). W...
The relationship between the major periodontal bacteria, Porphyromonas gingivalis, and the pathogenesis of IgA nephropathy (IgAN)-particularly with respect to galactose-deficient IgA1 (Gd-Ig...
A Japanese cohort study previously reported that not attending health checkups was associated with an increased risk of treated end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). The present study aimed to ex...
