Cystatin C and Creatinine Concentrations are Uninformative Biomarkers of Sarcopenia: A Cross-Sectional NHANES Study
Differences in creatinine and cystatin C-based estimates of glomerular filtration rate (eGFRDiff = eGFRCr – eGFRCysC) may reflect differences in muscle mass. We sought to determine if eGFRDiff (1) reflects lean mass, (2) identifies sarcopenic individuals beyond estimates based on age, BMI, and sex; and (3) demonstrates associations differently in those with and without chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Caring for patients with advanced chronic kidney disease: dietary options and conservative care instead of maintenance dialysis
An expert advisory board discussed the prevention and treatment of chronic kidney disease (CKD), with a focus on dietary options. This is timely, given the uptake of value based models for kidney care in the US. Timing of dialysis start is influenced by patients ’ clinical status and complex patient–clinician interactions. Patients value personal freedom and quality of life and may want to delay dialysis, whilst physicians are sometimes more concerned with clinical outcomes. Kidney-preserving therapy can prolong the dialysis-free period and preserve res idual kidney function, thus patients are asked to adjust their lif...

Vegetable and Fruit Intake Frequency and  Mortality in Patients With and Without Chronic Kidney Disease: A Hospital-Based Cohort Study
Patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) are generally discouraged from consuming high amounts of vegetables and fruits given the potential risk of hyperkalemia. In the general population, however, lower vegetable and fruit intake is associated with higher mortality. This Japanese hospital-based prospective cohort study including non-CKD and CKD participants examined whether the frequency of vegetable and fruit intake is associated with mortality, and whether the presence of CKD modifies this association.

Association between protocols of the sit-to-stand test and lower limb muscle force output in patients on hemodialysis and subjects without chronic kidney disease

Activity and profile of the users of a novel mobile application supporting proper diet among maintenance hemodialysis patients
Diet plays a key role in the management of chronic kidney disease. The aim of our study was to evaluate the usage of a self-developed mobile application supporting proper dietary choices among maintenance hemodialysis (HD) patients (Source: Journal of Renal Nutrition)

Prognostic Implications of Urinary Potassium to Creatinine Ratio in Patients with Predialysis Chronic Kidney Disease: A Cohort Study
Although a low or high serum potassium level in chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with worsening renal function and increased cardiovascular disease (CVD) events, urinary potassium excretion has been found to predict adverse health outcomes with conflicting results. We conducted a cohort study to determine whether urinary potassium to creatinine (K/Cr) ratio is an independent risk for further deterioration in renal function or increased CVD events.

Variability of 24-Hour Sodium Urinary Excretion in Young Healthy Males Based on Consecutive Urine Collections: Impact on Categorization of Salt Intake
Several nonconsecutive 24-h urinary collections are considered the gold standard for estimating dietary salt intake. As those samples are logistically demanding, we aimed to describe the variability of 24-h sodium urinary excretion over consecutive days and report its adequacy with sodium intake.

No Good Deed: Acidosis in Chronic Kidney and Liver Disease
Studies have shown that low or high serum bicarbonate levels (reflecting metabolic acidosis or alkalosis) are associated with increased all-cause mortality rates in moderate and advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) cases. Correction of presumed acidosis using sodium bicarbonate, targeting serum levels around 22  mmol/L, has proven to be beneficial in delaying the progression of the disease and provided mortality benefit. A similar prognostic association may exist between uncorrected metabolic acidosis in chronic liver disease. (Source: Journal of Renal Nutrition)
