Indeed, most persons with CKD are far more likely to develop a cardiovascular event than to progress to end-stage kidney disease. Although early detection and staging of CKD could help prevent its cardiovascular consequences, current rates of testing for CKD are very low, even among high-risk ...

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is common in the United States. The estimated prevalence of CKD in US adults was 11.7% ± 0.8% in 2000, based on the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Global estimates for CKD prevalence are less certain, but recent studies in Europe, ...
Results from the EMPA-REG OUTCOME trial suggests empagliflozin (Jardiance) has potential in the treatment of chronic kidney disease.
Cardiac and blood vessel testing may be recommended in persons at risk of heart disease or vascular disease. Treatment Controlling high blood pressure is important to limit further damage to the kidney as well as to protect against heart attack and stroke. Managing blood sugar in individuals with...
Timely lab testing can help detect declining kidney function before it becomes advanced. Treatment for CKD has progressed considerably in recent years. Highly effective blood pressure medications are usually the first-line therapy for CKD. A relatively new class of drugs—called sodium-glucose cotrans...
For both panels, the statistical testing is done for the overall mean and for meaningful categories (ie, estimated GFR <60 and albumin to creatinine ratio ≥30). NHANES indicates National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys. Prevalence of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Stages by Age Group in...
In experimental models of West Nile virus (WNV) infection, animals develop chronic kidney infection with histopathological changes in the kidney up to 8-months post-infection. However, the long term pathologic effects of acute infection in humans are largely unknown. The purpose of this study was...
