Oxalate nephropathy and chronic turmeric supplementation: a case report
We present a case of a 69-year-old man who presented for routine check-up and was incidentally found to have kidney failure with an initially unrevealing history and bland urinary sediment. He was diagnosed with oxalate nephropathy in the setting of chronic turmeric supplementation and chronic antibiotic therapy with associated diarrhea. Our case provides several key insights into oxalate nephropathy. First, the diagnosis requires a high index of clinical suspicion. It is uncommonly suspected clinically unless there is an obvious clue in the history such as Roux-en-Y gastric bypass or ethylene glycol poisoning. Diagnosis c...

Dietitians' practices in dialysis units in Brazil: nutritional assessment and intervention
CONCLUSION: Most dietitians use various nutritional assessment tools and intervention strategies in cases of risk or malnutrition; however, the frequency of use of such tools and strategies varied substantially.PMID:38363192 | DOI:10.1590/2175-8239-JBN-2023-0092en (Source: Jornal Brasileiro de Nefrologia)

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:38363193 | DOI:10.1590/2175-8239-JBN-2023-0134en (Source: Jornal Brasileiro de Nefrologia)
