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...
BACKGROUND Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a poorly characterized and enigmatic syndrome. Despite consistently presenting with nervous system vasogenic edema, this mal...
Fluoride is an element that is widely distributed in the environment. The involvement of fluoride in pathogenesis of Chronic Kidney Disease of uncertain aetiology (CKDu) in Sri Lanka is a mu...
Kidney dysfunction frequently occurred after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). Chronic renal disease (CKD) is a complicated problem and is associated with increased mortality. The aim ...
We aimed to investigate whether concomitant use of benzodiazepines and opioids is associated with an increased risk of death in a population-based case-crossover setting.We conducted a case-...
Aim of this study is to refer a single center experience of laparoscopic or laparotomic assisted ureteral stenting without the use of imaging guidance.We recruited 19 patients in the Institu...
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) commonly causes end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Increasing evidence indicates that abnormal miRNA expression is tightly associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD)...
Histomorphometric analysis of a transiliac bone biopsy is the gold standard for the diagnosis of renal osteodystrophy (ROD). This procedure is costly, invasive and usually performed with a t...
While the connection between physical and emotional changes among patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) through their disease process may seem obvious, few studies have reported results...
Evidence shows that the secretion of organic solutes is an essential intrinsic kidney function. However, current clinical assessment of kidney function is primarily based on glomerular filtr...
Not only is diabetic nephropathy (DN) the most common cause of end-stage renal disease worldwide, but it also increases the risk of mortality up to fourteen times compared to normoalbuminuri...
Glucose and insulin metabolism in patients with diabetes are profoundly altered by advanced chronic kidney disease. Risk of hypoglycemia is increased by failure of kidney gluconeogenesis, im...
Previous studies have established a direct association between chronic kidney disease (CKD) and cardiovascular (CV) mortality and morbidity. Evidence suggests that patients with CKD have an ...
Ian H. de Boer, MD, MS, is among a number of researchers currently seeking inexpensive, safe, and accessible interventions to prevent CKD in patients with diabetes. With experimental and obs...
According to current estimates, 95,000 patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in the United States who have cleared medical evaluations to receive a deceased donor kidney remain on the...
Prior research indicates that hypertension in patients receiving hemodialysis is predominantly systolic, whereas isolated diastolic hypertension is rare and mainly affects younger patients. ...
Chronic Kidney Disease Linked to Uncontrolled Blood Pressure Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with uncontrolled blood pressure (BP), while ambulatory BP patterns are not associate...
Second study shows ambulatory BP patterns not tied to cognitive impairment or frailty in CKD patients...
New research was virtually presented at NKF 2020, the Spring Clinical Meetings of the National Kidney Foundation, from March 26-29. The features below highlight some of the studies that emer...
