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
CKD Linked to Greater Neuromuscular Fatigability
Only peak force fatigability, but not peak rate of force development, contributed to fatigue variance
Dapagliflozin Reduces Hospitalizations Among Patients With CKD
Reduction seen in rate of admissions due to cardiac disorders, renal and urinary disorders, metabolism and nutrition disorders, neoplasms
Combination Treatment Beneficial in Albuminuric CKD
7.4 year gain in event-free survival for 50-year-old patients with combo therapy with ACEi/ARB and SGLT2 inhibitors
