Gut-derived uremic toxins have been associated with adverse outcomes in chronic kidney disease (CKD). Alterations in bowel habits, including constipation, seem to play an additional role in ...
High salt diet (HSD), considered a public health problem worldwide, is associated with chronic degenerative diseases including renal diseases. However, little is known about the effects of H...
This study aimed to clarify the effects of worsening renal function (WRF) during hospitalization on activities of daily living (ADL) at discharge of elderly heart failure (HF) patients. We i...
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has become a major public health issue, which can lead to renal fibrosis regardless of the initial injury. It has been previously reported that miRNA-1228-3p was...
The National Kidney Foundation has released an update to its Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative (KDOQI) clinical practice guidelines for vascular access in patients with chronic kid...
Previous proteomics efforts in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have predominantly evaluated urinary protein levels. Therefore, our aim was to investigate the association between p...
Background Duplex US is performed routinely for vascular mapping prior to arteriovenous fistula (AVF) creation for hemodialysis but cannot demonstrate the central vasculature. Ferumoxytol, a...
Data binding the expression of Toll-like 4 receptor (TLR4ex), transplanted kidney function, and the cause of pre-transplant end-stage renal disease are scarcely available.To investigate the ...
Pathological vascular calcification (VC), a major risk factor for cardiovascular mortality, is a highly prevalent finding in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). We previously analyze...
Despite multiple studies assessing post-nephrectomy kidney function after nephrectomy, data and validated tools for predicting postoperative kidney function are lacking. “Clinically signif...
Carotid artery stenting (CAS) has been proposed as the treatment of choice in case of post-carotid endarterectomy (CEA) restenosis. The aim of the study is to analyze periprocedural results ...
Individuals with acquired cystic kidney disease (ACKD) in the setting of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) have a high risk of developing renal cell carcinoma (RCC). ACKD-RCC is considered a di...
To investigate the clinical characteristics and prognostic factors of young patients with central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO).This retrospective cohort study involved treatment-naïve pati...
Bariatric surgery has been widely indicated for the management of obesity and related comorbidities. However, there are uncertainties pertaining to the risks of post-bariatric severe hypogly...
BACKGROUND Dietary protein restriction is recommended for patients with stage 5 chronic kidney disease (CKD), or end-stage renal disease (ESRD). This study aimed to investigate the changes i...
Whereas quality metrics can be a powerful tool in helping identify substantial performance gaps in kidney disease care affecting patient outcomes, these metrics must be meaningful, evidence-...
Self-care education can play an important role in improving the quality of life in hemodialysis patients.The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of self-care education with tea...
Immunocompromised patients may be at risk for reactivation of the toxoplasmosis infection, because of defection in cell-mediated immunity. Therefore, early diagnosis would be highly desirabl...
The association between crescents and renal outcomes was inconsistent in a Chinese IgA nephropathy (IgAN) cohort, and limited research has investigated the prognosis of IgAN patients with cr...
There is a bidirectional relationship between cardiovascular and renal disease. The drug-class of SGLT2 inhibitors improves outcomes at both ends of this so called cardiorenal axis. We asses...
