The aim of the study was to improve the frequency of diagnosing chronic kidney disease (CKD) in seniors with diabetes. Less than 10% of those with stages 2 or 3 CKD and less than 50% with stage 4 CKD know they have renal impairment. A pre-post study design was implemented in 2 ...
(proteinuria) is seen in various kidney diseases. It should never be neglected. Presence of protein in urine can be the first, the earliest and the only warning sign of chronic kidney disease (and even of heart disease). For example proteinuria is the first sign of kidney involvement in ...

Acute kidney diseases and disordersare considered a heterogeneousspectrumof conditions characterized by abnormalities in kidney structure and function (which includes AKI). While clinical presentation of AKI and CKD can beoverlapping, AKI is defined asup to 7 daysof abrupt kidney dysfunction, while CKD...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the possibility of using ultrasonography as opposed to X-rays to visualize AMC in patients with chronic renal failure. Patients and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we examined 105 patients (chronic kidney disease stage IV: 19 patients, hemodialysis:...
Inherited kidney diseases (IKDs) are the leading cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in children and account for at least 10% of cases of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in Europe.1 The most common IKDs are cystic and glomerular nephropathies.2, 3 Cystic IKDs encompass different disease...
Chronic kidney diseaseoccurs when one suffers from gradual and usually permanent loss of kidney function over time. This happens gradually, usually over months to years. Chronic kidney disease is divided into five stages of increasing severity: ...

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) are associated with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). High-sensitive cardiac troponin (hs-cTn) has been evidenced to enhance the early diagnostic accuracy of AMI, but hs-cTn levels are often chronically elevated in CKD patients, which reduces their diagnostic utility....
A method for diagnosing chronic kidney disease (CKD), including measuring an expression level of each microRNA (miRNA) of first miRNAs in a biological sample of a subject and compar
