Risk Factors for Pediatric CKD Progression Identified
CKD progression associated with lower eGFR category, glomerular disease, malignancy, proteinuria, hypertension, complex chronic comorbidities
Machine Perfusion of Kidneys Protects Against Delayed Graft Function
Outcomes after transplant better with machine perfusion, combination therapy than with therapeutic hypothermia among brain-dead kidney donors
Model With Lifestyle, Health Behavior Information Predicts CKD
Model can predict chronic kidney disease for individuals with and those without baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate measure
Cystatin C-Based Equation Accurate for Estimating Glomerular Filtration Rate
Accuracy of eGFR was improved by the arithmetic mean of the EKFC eGFRcr and EKFC eGFRcys versus estimates for either biomarker alone
Higher Seafood n-3 PUFA Levels Tied to Lower Risk for Incident CKD
Participants with total seafood n-3 PUFA level in highest versus lowest fifth had 13 percent lower risk for incident chronic kidney disease
High Cardiorespiratory Fitness Linked to Lower Risk for CKD
Association could be underestimated when using only a single baseline measure of cardiorespiratory fitness
Layered Approach Recommended for Patients With Diabetes, CKD
Layered approach involves initially combining lifestyle interventions, self-management, and first-line pharmacotherapy
Reduced eGFR Linked to Increased Mortality in A-Fib
Moderately-to-severely decreased eGFR had significant effect on all-cause mortality specifically in those with low socioeconomic status
Renal Impairment Linked to Worse Prognosis in IgD Multiple Myeloma
Median survival significantly shorter for patients with renal impairment versus those with no renal impairment
Decision Aid Improves Decision Quality for Seniors With CKD
DART improves decisional quality at three and six months; results decrease thereafter
