The neutrophil percentage-to-albumin ratio is an independent risk factor for poor prognosis in peritoneal dialysis patients
CONCLUSION: NPAR served as an independent predictive marker for all-cause mortality and cardio-cerebrovascular mortality in PD patients. Moreover, NPAR demonstrated superior predictive potential compared to CRP, CAR, NLR, and PLR.PMID:38178381 | PMC:PMC10773631 | DOI:10.1080/0886022X.2023.2294149 (Source: Renal Failure)

Graft survival and mortality outcomes after kidney transplant in patients with lupus nephritis: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Ren Fail. 2024 Dec;46(1):2296000. doi: 10.1080/0886022X.2023.2296000. Epub 2024 Jan 4.ABSTRACTTo explore the effect of lupus nephritis (LN) on graft survival in renal transplant patients. Literature search was conducted in PubMed, EMBASE and Scopus database for randomized controlled trials (RCTs), cohort, and case-control studies. The target population of interest was adult patients (aged >18 years) with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and no history of previous renal transplants. Primary outcomes of interest were graft survival and patient survival. Pooled effect estimates were calculated using random-effects models and...

Association of frequent intradialytic hypotension with the clinical outcomes of patients on hemodialysis: a prospective cohort study
In conclusion, HD patients classified as frequent IDH are at a greater risk of all-cause mortality. This highlights the significance of acknowledging and proactively managing frequent IDH within the HD patients.PMID:38178566 | PMC:PMC10773638 | DOI:10.1080/0886022X.2023.2296612 (Source: Renal Failure)

Effects of 24-hour urine-output trajectories on the risk of acute kidney injury in critically ill patients with cirrhosis: a retrospective cohort analysis
CONCLUSIONS: The 24-h urine-output trajectory is significantly associated with the risk of AKI in critically ill patients with cirrhosis. More attention should be paid to the dynamic nature of urine-output changes over time, which may help guide early intervention and improve patients' prognoses.PMID:38178568 | PMC:PMC10773636 | DOI:10.1080/0886022X.2023.2298900 (Source: Renal Failure)

Clinical characteristics and treatment modalities in uremic and non uremic calciphylaxis - a dermatological single-center experience
Ren Fail. 2024 Dec;46(1):2297566. doi: 10.1080/0886022X.2023.2297566. Epub 2024 Jan 4.ABSTRACTCalciphylaxis (CP) is a serious, potentially life-threatening disease that presents with medial calcification of small-sized vessels and painful ischemic ulcerations. Although calciphylaxis is frequently seen in patients with end-stage kidney disease on dialysis (calcific uremic arteriolopathy, CUA), there are reported cases of nonuremic calciphylaxis (NUC), which often remain undiagnosed. We conducted a retrospective chart review at our dermatological hospital and evaluated data concerning the epidemiology, comorbidities, medicat...

Correlation between ultrafiltration rate and hemoglobin level and erythropoietin response in hemodialysis patients
This study aimed to investigate the correlation between ultrafiltration rate (UFR) and hemoglobin levels and erythropoietin (EPO) response in patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis (MHD). 225 MHD patients were divided into three groups according to the UFR: < 10 ml/h/kg, 10-13 ml/h/kg, and >13 ml/h/kg. Clinical parameters and prognosis were compared among the groups. Multiple linear correlation and regression analyses were conducted. SPSS 26.0 (IBM, Chicago, IL, USA) was used to analyze all statistics. The UFR < 10 ml/h/kg group was older than the other groups (p < 0.05). The UFR > 13 ml/h/kg group had ...

Association between normal saline infusion volume in the emergency department and acute kidney injury in heat stroke patients: a multicenter retrospective study

The relationship between dietary inflammatory index (DII) and early renal injury in population with/without hypertension: analysis of the National health and nutrition examination survey 2001-2002
CONCLUSION: Higher levels of DII may be associated with occurrence of early kidney damage. For individuals with hypertension, avoiding excessive consumption of pro-inflammatory foods may reduce the risk of renal injury.PMID:38178375 | DOI:10.1080/0886022X.2023.2294155 (Source: Renal Failure)

CONCLUSION: In DKD patients with severe proteinuria, TwHF could prevent DKD progression, especially in patients with CKD G3. A randomized clinical trial is needed to elucidate the benefits of TwHF on renal outcomes in patients with DKD.PMID:38178377 | DOI:10.1080/0886022X.2023.2295425 (Source: Renal Failure)
