Anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibody titer after BNT162b2 mRNA COVID-19 vaccination in Japanese patients who underwent renal replacement therapy, hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, and kidney transplantation
ConclusionsRRT patients, particularly KT recipients, exhibited poor vaccine responses. Booster vaccination would be beneficial for HD and PD patients; however, its effect in KT recipients was mild. Further COVID-19 vaccinations using the latest vaccine or alternative procedures should be considered in RRT patients. (Source: Clinical and Experimental Nephrology)

N-methyl-2-pyridone-5-carboxamide (N-Me-2PY) has potent anti-fibrotic and anti-inflammatory activity in a fibrotic kidney model: is it an old uremic toxin?
ConclusionsNAD  + metabolites, such as N-Me-2PY, are not uremic toxins but are potential therapeutic agents that have anti-fibrotic effects in CKD. (Source: Clinical and Experimental Nephrology)

The effect of renal replacement therapy on health-related quality of life in end-stage renal disease: a meta-analysis
ConclusionFor the treatment of ESRD, either KT, PD, or HoD can be used in terms of HRQoL. We need to improve the factors affecting the HRQoL of ESRD patients undergoing HD and ICHD. Healthcare professionals should consider the factors that influence HRQoL and choose an RTT method for each ESRD patient. (Source: Clinical and Experimental Nephrology)

eGFR slope as a surrogate endpoint for clinical study in early stage of chronic kidney disease: from The Japan Chronic Kidney Disease Database
ConclusionEven in Japanese patients with early stage CKD, a slower eGFR slope calculated from eGFR values over 2 –3 years was associated with a decreased risk of ESKD. (Source: Clinical and Experimental Nephrology)

Trace proteinuria detected via dipstick test is associated with kidney function decline and new-onset overt proteinuria: the Japan Specific Health Checkups (J-SHC) Study
ConclusionsTrace proteinuria (detected via dipstick test) was associated with subsequent kidney function decline and overt proteinuria in the general population. (Source: Clinical and Experimental Nephrology)

The differences in renal hemodynamic response following high-intensity exercise between younger and older males
ConclusionsOur findings demonstrate that RBF following high-intensity exercise recovered 60-min after exercise in younger group, whereas RBF recovery was delayed in the older group. (Source: Clinical and Experimental Nephrology)
