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)

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)

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)

Persistent hyperparathyroidism after preemptive kidney transplantation
ConclusionsPretransplant PTH levels and donor kidney function were independent predictors of HPT after PKT. In addition, HPT was associated with worse graft outcomes even after PKT. (Source: Clinical and Experimental Nephrology)

Thirst intensity survey in ADPKD patients
Discussion/conclusionOnly thiazide co-treatment had a positive impact on thirst distress and intensity when given tolvaptan. Thirst Distress Scale for ADPKD patients can be used to classify patients before and during tolvaptan treatment. (Source: Clinical and Experimental Nephrology)
