Risk factors for lower renal compensation after nephrectomy: an analysis of living kidney donors in an Amazonian cohort
CONCLUSION: Obesity, albuminuria and proteinuria adversely affected short-term renal compensation rate. Further studies are needed to uncover the prognostic implications tied to these risk factors. Our findings also supported the need for careful individualized assessment of potential donors and closer monitoring of individuals at higher risk.PMID:38498672 | DOI:10.1590/2175-8239-JBN-2023-0134en (Source: Jornal Brasileiro de Nefrologia)

Sodium-glucose cotranspor ter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors in nephrolithiasis: should we "gliflozin" patients with kidney stone disease?
J Bras Nefrol. 2024 Jul-Sep;46(3):e20230146. doi: 10.1590/2175-8239-JBN-2023-0146en.ABSTRACTThe prevalence of nephrolithiasis is increasing worldwide. Despite advances in understanding the pathogenesis of lithiasis, few studies have demonstrated that specific clinical interventions reduce the recurrence of nephrolithiasis. The aim of this review is to analyze the current data and potential effects of iSGLT2 in lithogenesis and try to answer the question: Should we also "gliflozin" our patients with kidney stone disease?PMID:38498673 | DOI:10.1590/2175-8239-JBN-2023-0146en (Source: Jornal Brasileiro de Nefrologia)
