Also, kidneys play a key role in blood pressure regulation, and a popular class of anti-hypertensive medications and angiotensin converting enzymes (ACE) inhibitors have been reported to be less effective in women. Model simulations suggest that the blunted natriuretic and diuretic effects of ACE ...
The presence of albuminuria may reflect simultaneous protein leakage through the blood–brain barrier, appearing as white matter hyperintensities on magnetic resonance imaging of the brain [52], which were causally linked to dementia [53]. The KDIGO 2012 guideline classifies CKD using the combination...
d Left panel: Performance of MRS predicting future kidney function based on the model included age, race, gender, DM, and HTN status (R2 of 0.77). The x-axis represents the follow-up time in years, while the y-axis displays the eGFR values. The yellow curve illustrates the observed ...
1B). Moreover, smaller subsets of metabolites associated with large positive or negative loading values on the second principal component (p2) were highlighted. These compounds may constitute specific CKD or postHD patterns and further investigations were therefore carried out using supervised analysis ...
Because mixed-effects models can account for differential participant dropout based on previous observed eGFR values but not on the unobserved eGFR values,21 we tested a joint modeling approach to account for informative dropout.22,23 In an additional sensitivity analysis, we applied an alternative ...

on the null hypothesis that it had a zero coefficient in its linear model using two-sided Student’s t test. The Bonferroni procedure was used to perform multiple hypothesis testing correction of the rawPvalues. In addition, the Benjamin–Hochberg procedure was used to identify significant sites...
Medians are indicated by the horizontal lines in the boxes; boxes indicate 25th and 75th percentiles; the vertical lines extend to a maximum distance of 1.5 interquartile ranges; values outside of this range are plotted separately. Analyses are based on the pharmacodynamic analysis set, n =...
