Current status of exercise and its impact on quality of life in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis in the post-COVID-19 period
CONCLUSION: In the current study, 81.7% of PD patients performed exercise in the post-COVID-19 period. Pain and anemia were independent risk factors for exercise in PD patients. Advanced age, female sex, higher body mass index, and pain were independently associated with lower exercise capacity in PD patients. PD patients undergoing exercise had better QoL.PMID:37796141 | DOI:10.5414/CN111194 (Source: Clinical Nephrology)

Risk factors for low humoral response to BNT-162b2 in hemodialysis patients
CONCLUSION: Older age, higher CCI, lower iPTH and albumin as well as CVC as vascular access were associated with lower response to vaccination in our study. Comorbidity burden is suggested as a preferred indirect method to predict worst response when compared to age alone.PMID:37779449 | DOI:10.5414/CN110927 (Source: Clinical Nephrology)

Does hydration status influence kidney volume in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease?
Clin Nephrol. 2023 Oct 2. doi: 10.5414/CN110579. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAutosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a progressive kidney disease where the size of the kidneys is correlated to the stage of kidney failure. Total kidney volume (TKV) is used as a prognostic marker to determine disease stage, progression, and possible effect of treatment. It has been shown that water restriction is associated with reduced kidney volume in healthy subjects. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between TKV and hydration status in ADPKD patients. 40 ADPKD patients with chronic kidney disease st...

Hospital at Home meets need for new dialysis patients
In this report we describe the use of the Hospital at Home program for inpatient dialysis care as a novel method to both provide high quality patient care at home and also open inpatient beds in the hospital. Here, we present two cases where this program served both the needs of the patient and the hospital system by providing dialysis care to patients participating in the Hospital at Home program. One was a patient with a recent kidney transplant awaiting improvement in kidney function following transplant. The other was a new mother who was diagnosed with atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome and was awaiting recovery from ...

Effect of canagliflozin in non-diabetic obese patients with albuminuria: A  randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial
CONCLUSION: Canagliflozin 100 mg daily was well tolerated but did not significantly reduce UACR in non-diabetic obese patients with microalbuminuria. However, a significant temporary decline in eGFR might reflect a subtle reduction in glomerular hyperfiltration.PMID:37675488 | DOI:10.5414/CN111143 (Source: Clinical Nephrology)

Elevated tacrolimus levels among COVID-19 kidney transplant recipients are associated with worse disease severity and clinical outcomes
CONCLUSION: Elevated tacrolimus levels occur in many renal transplant recipients with moderate to severe COVID-19 and are associated with worse clinical outcomes. Close drug monitoring is crucial to avoid toxicities and minimize over-immunosuppression complications.PMID:37675489 | DOI:10.5414/CN111137 (Source: Clinical Nephrology)
