Mashup Score: 2Validation of an Algorithm to Identify End-Stage Kidney Disease in Electronic Health Records Data - 8 hour(s) ago
Accurate ascertainment of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) in electronic health records (EHRs) data is important for much epidemiological research. This study aimed to develop and validate an algorithm using diagnosis and procedure codes to identify patients with ESKD (treated with maintenance dialysis or kidney transplantation) in EHRs data.

Mashup Score: 3Kidneys Under Pressure: The Consequence of Heart Failure and Elevated Filling Pressures - 14 hour(s) ago
Heart failure (HF) and kidney disease are intricately linked.1 Approximately 10%-30% of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have HF, while ∼30%-60% of patients with HF have CKD.2 This population of patients with concurrent HF and kidney disease, which continues to grow, is at elevated risk of loss of kidney function, frequent hospitalizations, and death.3 The interplay between HF and kidney disease is complex and multifactorial. The contribution of volume overload has long been postulated as a central mechanism leading to kidney disease, both acutely and in the long term.

Mashup Score: 2Longitudinal Income Dynamics and Risk of End-Stage Kidney Disease in Type 2 Diabetes: A South Korean Population–Based Cohort Study - 1 day(s) ago
The prevalence of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) continues to rise, with socioeconomic status (SES), particularly income, having associations with ESKD risk among individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This study examined the longitudinal association of income changes with ESKD risk among nonelderly adults with T2DM in South Korea.

Mashup Score: 152Mixed Acid-Base Disturbances: Core Curriculum 2025 - 2 day(s) ago
Mixed acid-base disorders are frequently encountered in clinical practice and due to their complexity, diagnoses and treatment are challenging. The opposing effects of multiple disturbances can lead to blood pH levels that are near normal or separate acid-base disturbances can have an additive effect leading to more significant changes in blood and intracellular pH. A systematic evaluation of patient history, physical examination, and laboratory results (including acid-base balance, anion gap, electrolytes, and urine parameters) enables the rapid diagnosis of mixed acid-base disorders by analyzing the appropriateness of compensatory mechanisms, assessing changes in serum and urine electrolytes, and estimating urinary acid excretion.

This image depicts the finitude that some young women receiving peritoneal dialysis can face. Their lives can be limited and uncertain. Their abilities to achieve academic and career goals, enjoy intimacy, and build a family with children become questionable. It can feel similar to being locked up in a birdcage. Receiving a kidney transplant can feel like their only hope, their transcendence.

Mashup Score: 13Prevalence of Severe Mental Illness and Its Associations With Health Outcomes in Patients With CKD: A Swedish Nationwide Study - 2 day(s) ago
Patients with CKD often face mental health problems, but the burden of severe mental illness (SMI) in this population is unclear. We estimated the prevalence of SMIs among people with CKD and their associations with health outcomes.

Mashup Score: 2Reframing Acute Kidney Disease: Two Coins or Two Sides? - 3 day(s) ago
Acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney diseases (CKD) are clear concepts, based on internationally recognised consensus definitions, that are understood and usefully applied by clinicians and researchers routinely worldwide. Over the last two decades, AKI and CKD have not been without controversies, but undeniably they have promoted timely recognition of the importance of deteriorating kidney health and have paved the way for new treatments to slow kidney decline. Central to their functional delineation are the trajectory, timing and absolute level of serum creatinine – AKI occurs within one week, CKD beyond 90 days.(1, 2) So what happens between day 8 and 90, besides time and missed opportunity? AKI and CKD do not typically exist in isolation, but rather within a spectrum of kidney disease.(3) “Acute kidney diseases and disorders” (AKD) emerged in the 2012 KDIGO guidelines to bridge the conceptual and practical gulf between AKI and CKD and address the inertia of knowledge and ac

The iBox (Integrative Box) risk prediction score, integrating functional, immunological, and histological factors, offers a novel method for predicting the risk of death-censored graft failure (DCGF) in kidney transplant recipients.1 Following regulatory approval, iBox has the potential for broad clinical and research application as a surrogate endpoint.2 However, clarifying validated applications and implementation considerations is essential.3 To assess iBox’s utility in predicting DCGF in trials and real-world settings, we systematically identified, appraised, and summarized the available literature.
