- 1From: Nature Reviews Nephrology. (Vol. 6, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedAcute kidney injury (AKI) remains a common syndrome in hospitalized patients and has consistently been associated with increased morbidity, mortality and health-resource utilization. (1) However, advances in nephrology...
- 2From: Nature Reviews Nephrology. (Vol. 6, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedIn rare cases, treatment of patients who have chronic kidney disease (CKD) with recombinant erythropoietin leads to the production of neutralizing anti-erythropoietin antibodies, which can cause pure red-cell aplasia or...
- 3From: Nature Reviews Nephrology. (Vol. 6, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedHigh serum alkaline phosphatase levels are an independent predictor of increased mortality in patients with stages 3 and 4 chronic kidney disease, say Srinivasan Beddhu and colleagues. The researchers identified the...
- 4From: Nature Reviews Nephrology. (Vol. 6, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedPeroxisome proliferator-activated receptor [gamma] (PPAR-[gamma]) agonists might protect against aging-related progressive renal injury, according to a study published in the Journal of the American Society of...
- 5From: Nature Reviews Nephrology. (Vol. 6, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedBackground. A 49-year-old woman presented to hospital with an 18-month history of hyponatremia episodes, nausea, vomiting, anorexia and fatigue. Investigations. Physical examination, laboratory tests including full...
- 6From: Nature Reviews Nephrology. (Vol. 6, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedA recent study has found that diabetes mellitus and left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy predict progression of prehypertension to hypertension independently of baseline blood pressure. The researchers say that their...
- 7From: Nature Reviews Nephrology. (Vol. 6, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedOrgans from young pediatric donors are most commonly used in pediatric recipients as the small size of the child's liver, heart and lungs makes these organs unsuitable for transplantation into adults. The small size of...
- 8From: Nature Reviews Nephrology. (Vol. 6, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedChronic kidney disease (CKD) is characterized by an irreversible deterioration in kidney function that gradually progresses to kidney failure and a need for dialysis. Predictors of progression of CKD in children include...
- 9From: Nature Reviews Nephrology. (Vol. 6, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedThe risk of cardiovascular mortality in patients on dialysis is known to be increased compared with that of the general population. According to a new study, however, patients on dialysis also have an increased risk of...
- 10From: Nature Reviews Nephrology. (Vol. 6, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedChronic hypoxia induces sequential abnormalities in oxygen metabolism (for example, oxidative stress, nitrosative stress, advanced glycation, carbonyl stress, endoplasmic reticulum stress) in the kidneys of individuals...
- 11From: Nature Reviews Nephrology. (Vol. 6, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedNew-onset diabetes after transplantation (NODAT) is associated with a polymorphism that is a known risk factor for type 2 diabetes in the general population, according to recent findings. in their study, Lidia Ghisdal...
- 12From: Nature Reviews Nephrology. (Vol. 6, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedRenal artery stenting seems to reduce blood pressure in hypertensive patients with impaired renal function. In their analysis of 67 consecutive patients receiving stenting for obstructive renal artery disease, singer...
- 13From: Nature Reviews Nephrology. (Vol. 6, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedAutosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is characterized by the unrelenting enlargement of innumerable cysts derived from renal tubules. This cystic growth often leads to a grotesque renal enlargement....
- 14From: Nature Reviews Nephrology. (Vol. 6, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedVery-low-molecular-mass albumin fragments might become useful biomarkers for distinguishing between genetic and idiopathic variants of primary focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), according to researchers in...
- 15From: Nature Reviews Nephrology. (Vol. 6, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedTissue-specific differentiation of stem cells can be promoted by seeding the cells onto decellularized tissue scaffolds, according to a new study. Edward Ross and colleagues found that murine embryonic stem cells seeded...
- 16From: Nature Reviews Nephrology. (Vol. 6, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedSeveral recent publications have used the terms 'aldosterone escape' and 'aldosterone breakthrough' interchangeably. This tendency obscures the pathophysiology of these different processes, both of which have very...
- 17From: Nature Reviews Nephrology. (Vol. 6, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedResearchers in Canada have found that patients who experience worsening renal function within the month following an acute coronary syndrome are at increased risk of cardiovascular death, recurrent myocardial...
- 18From: Nature Reviews Nephrology. (Vol. 6, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedAtherosclerotic renal artery stenosis is associated with cardiovascular disease and a high rate of mortality. Evidence as to whether revascularization has any advantage over medical therapy in atherosclerotic...
- 19From: Nature Reviews Nephrology. (Vol. 6, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedCan a single criterion determine the use of ECD kidneys? Increased use of kidneys from expanded-criteria donors (ECDs) for both single and dual kidney transplantation has led to controversy over the criteria for...
- 20From: Nature Reviews Nephrology. (Vol. 6, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedIntravenous fluids are widely administered to patients who have, or are at risk of, acute kidney injury (AKI). However, deleterious consequences of overzealous fluid therapy are increasingly being recognized. Salt and...
