Decreased kidney function (eGFR < 60 ml/min/1.73m2) was associated with an increased risk of dementia (Hazard Ratio [HR] = 1.42, 95% Confidence Interval [CI] 1.28–1.58), compared to normal kidney function (≥ 90 ml/min/1.73m2). The strength of the association remained ...

Moreover, apart from the fact, that the creatinine levels were normal in most of the patients, or < 2 mg/dl in a small subgroup of patients, respectively, nothing is known about possible correlations of kidney function and size measurements in the present study. Results from ultrasonographic ...
has two important limitations. First, some CpG sites that are not strongly associated with kidney function by themselves could complement other sites to explain residual kidney function differences. These “auxiliary” sites cannot be identified by the single-site approach. Second, some significant CpG...
The interactions of adipose tissue with the kidney — referred to as the adipo–renal axis — are important for normal kidney function as well as the response of the kidney to injury. Here, we discuss the mechanistic basis of this interorgan crosstalk, which clearly has great therapeutic ...
Two of them were based on eGFR calculation with low accuracy in the normal range of kidney function (3,4); three studies did not focus on eGFR change but only on the incidence of eGFR <60 mL/min × 1.73 [5,7,8]; two studies included the elderly only [6,7]. In contrast with ...
Glomerulonephritis (glomerular disease).Glomeruli are the thousands of tiny filters that remove waste from your blood in your kidneys. This condition damages them, and your kidneys can't function as well.Inflammation in the glomeruli can happen after a strep infection, as well. ...

The study involved the analysis of medical records over a five-year period for 1.3 million adults who did not have diabetes. About 9 percent had elevated urea levels, a sign of reduced kidney function. That's the same rate as in the general population. ...
Normal weight or underweight in men and overweight in women, as well as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and physical inactivity were highly associated with reduced kidney function. Our study revealed a dose–response relationship between uric acid levels and kidney function. Therefore, high uric acid...
