Sex Disparities in Risk of Mortality Among Children With ESRD
ConclusionsThe mortality rate was substantially higher for girls than for boys treated with RRT. Access to transplantation was lower for girls than boys, but differences in transplantation access accounted for only a small proportion of the survival differences by sex.

CKD Due to a Novel Mitochondrial DNA Mutation: A Case Report
We describe a novel mtDNA mutation in a patient who developed chronic kidney disease. The patient exhibited mitochondrial abnormalities in both muscle and kidney, chronic tubulointerstitial changes, and recurrent episodes of rhabdomyolysis. We outline mechanisms that may underlie the occurrence of chronic kidney disease in the setting of this novel mtDNA mutation. We also underscore the need to consider in relevant kidney diseases the presence of an underlying mitochondrial cytopathy because the latter more commonly exists than is generally recognized.

The Role of Vitamin D in CKD Stages 3 to 4: Report of a Scientific Workshop Sponsored by the National Kidney Foundation
This article reports on the proceedings from a “controversies conference” on vitamin D in chronic kidney disease that was sponsored by the National Kidney Foundation. The report outlines the deliberations of the 3 work groups that participated in the conference. Until newer measurement methods are widely used, the panel agreed that clinicians should classify 25(OH)D “adequacy” as concentrations> 20 ng/mL without evidence of counter-regulatory hormone activity (ie, elevated parathyroid hormone). The panel also agreed that 25(OH)D concentrations

Publication date: Available online 21 September 2018Source: American Journal of Kidney DiseasesAuthor(s): Corey Cavanaugh, Mark A. PerazellaAutomated urine technology and centralized laboratory testing are becoming the standard for providing urinalysis data to clinicians, including nephrologists. This trend has had the unintended consequence of making examination of urine sediment by nephrologists a relatively rare event. In addition, the nephrology community appears to have lost interest in and forgotten the utility of provider-performed urine microscopy. However, it is critical to remember that urine sediment examination...

HallThere is ongoing recognition that a wide array of social, economic, and environmental factors influence individuals’ opportunities to engage in health care and healthy behaviors. Despite spending $34 billion annually on the care of patients with end-stage renal disease, the American public and nephrology community remain remarkably complacent about addressing “upstream” factors that influence the prevention, progression, and treatment of chronic kidney diseases.

Risk of ESRD and Mortality in Kidney and Bladder Stone Formers
ConclusionsThe higher risk for ESRD in recurrent symptomatic compared with incident symptomatic kidney stone formers suggests that stone events are associated with kidney injury. The clinical indication for imaging in asymptomatic stone formers, the correct diagnosis in miscoded stone formers, and the cause of a bladder outlet obstruction in bladder stone formers may explain the higher risk for ESRD or death in these groups.

Brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging Findings in Children and Young Adults With CKD
ConclusionsCKD in children and young adults may be associated with lower GM and higher WM volumes in some ROIs. Differences were relatively subtle in the CKD group as a whole, but were more prominent in recipients of a kidney transplant. However, neurocognitive performance was not explained by differences in brain ROI volumes, suggesting a functional rather than structural basis for neurocognitive impairment in CKD.
