Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) affects over 800 million people with an estimated global prevalence of 13.4% [1,2,3]. Current guidelines identify the diagnostic criteria for CKD as (1) a glomerular filtration rate (GFR) less than 60 mL/minute/1.73 m2, and/or (2) one or more markers sugges...

Exclusion criteria were: end-stage renal disease or dialysis at time of enrollment; history of solid organ or bone-marrow transplantation; active malignancy within 24 months prior to screening or metastatic cancer; life expectancy less than 6 months (based on the judgment of the study physician af...
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has historically been a significant global health concern, profoundly impacting both life and well-being. In the process of CKD, with the gradual loss of renal function, the incidence of various life-threatening complications, such as cardiovascular diseases, cerebrovascula...
Dialysis — treatment to remove extra fluid and waste products from the blood when the kidney isn’t able to — also “significantly impacts” quality of life, causing fatigue, loss of appetite and heart disease, among other symptoms, Sodhi noted. ...

55 FOSB expression is associated with the progression of kidney disease.56 Thus, all InstaScore genes are crucial for endothelial cell integrity, and T-cell activation, and have functional relevance to the kidney and rejection.57,58 The 5 feature selected cell types, CD4+ Tcm, CD4+ Tem,...
‘food as medicine’. This concept is especially relevant to metabolic diseases, such as chronic kidney disease (CKD), in which dietary approaches are already used to ameliorate metabolic and nutritional complications. Increased awareness that toxic uraemic metabolites originate not only from intermediary...
In light of the results of the current study, the population level-based economic status is a crucial element in acute kidney disease and post-AKI care. To eliminate all avoidable deaths from AKI worldwide by 2025, the 0by25 initiative from the International Society of Nephrology proposed the...
