      Validation of an Algorithm to Identify End-Stage Kidney Disease in Electronic Health Records Data - 5 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.

      KDOQI Commentary on the KDIGO 2022 Update to the Clinical Practice Guideline for Diabetes Management in CKD - 6 hour(s) ago

      The Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) guideline for diabetes management in chronic kidney disease (CKD) was updated in 2022, just 2 years after the previous update. The need for this rapid update is reflective of the recent and unprecedented positive results of numerous clinical trials aimed at reducing kidney and cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in people with diabetes. The Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative (KDOQI) work group for diabetes in CKD, convened by the National Kidney Foundation, provides herein a commentary on these changes, particularly the implications for health care in the United States.

      With diabetes mellitus being a leading cause of kidney failure and earlier stages of CKD throughout much of the world, understanding how diabetes affects the kidneys and exploring new treatment options is of critical importance.

      Fenofibrate-Induced Osmotic Nephropathy: A Novel Mechanism of Acute Kidney Injury - 1 day(s) ago

      Fibrates are a commonly utilized medication in the management of dyslipidaemia and cardiovascular risk. These agents have a well-documented association with reversible elevations in serum creatinine and in some instances acute kidney injury. The mechanism underlying the renal effects of fibrates are currently not well-understood. We describe a case of acute kidney injury in a patient who was administered an unadjusted dose of fenofibrate in the setting of severe renal impairment. Kidney biopsy demonstrated extensive isometric vacuolization within tubular epithelial cells consistent with osmotic-type injury.

      Progressive Kidney Dysfunction With Weight Loss: A Quiz - 1 day(s) ago

      A 54-year-old male patient presented with a 1-year history of fatigue, anorexia, nonproductive cough, intermittent fever, and progressive weight loss of 50kg. His medical history included a bicuspid aortic valve, for which he underwent bioprosthetic valvular replacement 9 years earlier and a subsequent replacement with a mechanical valve 5 years later after prolapse of the bioprosthetic valve. Other medical history included type 2 diabetes mellitus, coronary artery disease, and hypertension. His medications included metformin, warfarin, carvedilol, ferrous sulfate, and atorvastatin.

      The Future of Technology-Based Kidney Replacement Therapies: An Update on Portable, Wearable and Implantable Artificial Kidneys - 2 day(s) ago

      Worldwide, the number of people needing lifesaving kidney replacement therapy (KRT) steadily grows, but about two thirds of them lack access to KRT and thus die. Access to KRT depends on economic, social, infrastructural, ecological, and political factors. Current KRTs include kidney transplantation, peritoneal dialysis (PD) and hemodialysis (HD). Xenotransplantation recently is opening promising new perspectives but needs improvement. Unfortunately, not all patients are suitable for transplantation.

      AJKD Atlas of Renal Pathology: Cryoglobulinemic Glomerulonephritis - 2 day(s) ago

      Cryoglobulinemic glomerulonephritis (GN) is caused by intracapillary, capillary wall (often subendothelial), and mesangial cryoglobulin deposits, giving a membranoproliferative pattern of injury. Patients have nephritic/nephrotic syndrome with various levels of kidney function. Purpura and arthralgia occur in about one-third, with vasculitis affecting skin and kidneys less commonly. Abnormal serologic studies include low C4 in three-quarters and low C3 in half. All 3 types of cryoglobulins, including those due to both monoclonal and polyclonal immunoglobulins, can cause cryoglobulinemic GN, although most commonly it occurs in settings of type II (“mixed”) cryoglobulinemia secondary to hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection.

      Development of a Patient Reported Outcome Measure of Side Effects for Patients Taking Calcineurin Inhibitors: The FACIT-CNI-Ntx - 3 day(s) ago

      Valid measures of side effects are important to inform clinical use of calcineurin inhibitors (CNIs). This study sought to develop and establish the content validity of a PRO measure to capture side effects among kidney transplant recipients taking CNIs.
