Incorporating genetic testing into a routine kidney clinic
In conclusion, utilizing genetic testing in a routine outpatient renal clinic did not cause any burden to either patients or nephrologists, with minimal administrative effort and no financial cost to our patients. We expect that genetic testing in the right setting should become routine in nephrology to achieve a patient-centered precision medicine with less invasive means of kidney disease diagnosis.PMID:38660889 | DOI:10.5414/CN111138 (Source: Clinical Nephrology)

Evaluating prescription of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin II receptor blockers in patients with diabetes and albuminuria
CONCLUSION: ACEi/ARB therapy was suboptimal in patients with diabetes, hypertension, and albuminuria. Non-adherence was associated with CKD stage, possibly because of concerns about adverse events and healthcare-related factors.PMID:38606848 | DOI:10.5414/CN111247 (Source: Clinical Nephrology)
