• The diabetes drug canagliflozin slowed kidney function decline in patients with diabetes and advanced chronic kidney disease. • The drug also reduced the risk of developing kidney failure and cardiovascular problems in these patients.
Afro-Caribbean people with end stage kidney disease (ESKD) are more likely to be hospitalised with COVID-19 than other ethnicities, a study has found.
• A recent analysis found limited research evaluating depression screening tools in patients with kidney failure. • Many studies were small in size and had other shortcomings.
• Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common during hospitalization with COVID-19 in the U.S. veterans, and it’s associated with a higher risk of death. This risk is especially high for Black veterans. • Nearly half of the veterans with AKI in this analysis did not fully recover their kidney function by the time of hospital discharge.
A long-held belief that the distal convoluted tubule (DCT) in the kidney is bigger in women than men has been disproven, according to a new study published in the American Journal of Physiology-Renal Physiology.
Los pacientes que tienen riñones poliquísticos grandes y necesitan un trasplante de riñón pueden someterse simultáneamente y de forma segura a la extirpación laparoscópica de los riñones enfermos y al trasplante.
A new study shows that robotic-assisted kidney transplant and weight loss surgery can be performed safely.
New research shows that adults with lupus who take hydroxychloroquine do not have any differences in their corrected QT (QTc) intervals even if they have chronic kidney disease. The study was presented at ACR Convergence, the American College Rheumatology’s annual meeting.
Researchers have created an experimental device that, instead of inhibiting inflammatory proteins in COVID-19 patients, changes the phenotype of circulating white blood cells, helping wean two patients off ECMO.
DALLAS – Nov. 2, 2020 – An autoimmune side effect of immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) drugs could signal improved control of kidney cancer, according to a new study by researchers in UT Southwestern’s Kidney Cancer Program (KCP).
A husband and wife, a mother and son, two cousins, two sisters, and a boss and her direct report were strangers from different cities and diverse backgrounds. Now, after a successful, and rare, 5-way kidney swap at Houston Methodist, they are instant family.
• In an analysis of information on patients with kidney failure, Black patients are less likely than white patients to be placed on transplant waiting lists. • For patients on such lists, Blacks are less likely to receive transplants than whites. • Results from the study will be presented online during ASN Kidney Week 2020 Reimagined October 19–October 25.
• Social determinants of health are associated with patient-reported outcomes in adults who are eligible to undergo kidney transplantation evaluations. • Results from the study will be presented online during ASN Kidney Week 2020 Reimagined October 19–October 25.
• Adults with glomerular diseases have a 2.5-times higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease than individuals in the general population. • Results from the study will be presented online during ASN Kidney Week 2020 Reimagined October 19–October 25.
• A new model that incorporates a type of artificial intelligence can accurately predict which individuals with chronic kidney disease face a high risk of developing atrial fibrillation. • Results from the study will be presented online during ASN Kidney Week 2020 Reimagined October 19–October 25.
• In a recent study, a new algorithm achieved good performance for predicting which hospitalized patients will develop acute kidney injury requiring dialysis. • Results from the study will be presented online during ASN Kidney Week 2020 Reimagined October 19–October 25.
• A new study indicates that Blacks and Hispanics have experienced higher rates of kidney failure compared with whites due to more rapid kidney function decline. • Results from the study will be presented online during ASN Kidney Week 2020 Reimagined October 19–October 25.
• In a recent study, a new algorithm outperformed the standard method for predicting which hospitalized patients will develop acute kidney injury. • Results from the study will be presented online during ASN Kidney Week 2020 Reimagined October 19–October 25.
• In individuals with chronic kidney disease who received online peer mentoring, improved patient activation correlated with improvements in various aspects of quality of life. • Results from the study will be presented online during ASN Kidney Week 2020 Reimagined October 19–October 25.
