Clinical significance of urinary liver-type fatty acid-binding protein as a predictor of ESRD and CVD in patients with CKD
Conclusions Urinary L-FABP may be a useful prognostic marker of progression to ESRD and the onset of CVD in patients with CKD.

Clinical Benefit of Warfarin in Dialysis Patients With Atrial Fibrillation
Patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and end-stage chronic kidney disease (CKD) receiving dialysis are at higher risk of stroke (1). Warfarin has been shown to reduce the frequency of strokes by 64.0% in patients with AF; however, its use in dialysis patients has not received consensus owing to the lack of randomized controlled trial data and associated increased bleeding risk.

Timing of Dialysis Initiation, Duration and Frequency of Hemodialysis Sessions, and Membrane Flux: A Systematic Review for a KDOQI Clinical Practice Guideline
Conclusions Limited data indicate that earlier dialysis therapy initiation and more frequent and longer hemodialysis did not improve clinical outcomes compared to conventional hemodialysis.

Early versus delayed erythropoietin for the anaemia of end-stage kidney disease.
CONCLUSIONS: We found no evidence to assess the benefits and harms of early versus delayed EPO for the anaemia of ESKD. PMID: 26671531 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

The Brain in Kidney Disease (BRINK) Cohort Study: Design and Baseline Cognitive Function
Conclusions Cognitive function was significantly worse in participants with eGFRs<30mL/min/1.73m2. Future BRINK analyses will measure risk factors for cognitive decline using the longitudinal data.

Coronary Revascularization in Chronic and End-Stage Renal Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on dialysis have an increased risk for cardiovascular mortality and morbidity secondary to occlusive coronary artery disease. Optimal revascularization strategy is unclear in this high-risk population. We have performed a meta-analysis to compare coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) versus percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with ESRD and CKD. We searched PubMed, Ovid, MEDLINE, CINAHL, and EMBASE (1980–2013) and found 17 trials (N = 33,584) in the ESRD arm and 6 studies (n = 15,493) in the CKD arm. Two investigators independe...

The accumulation of healthy lifestyle behaviors prevents the incidence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in middle-aged and older males
Conclusions These results suggest that the accumulation of healthy lifestyle behaviors, especially those related to habitual moderate exercise and no bedtime snacking, is considered to be important to reduce the risk of CKD.

Multicentre randomized controlled trial of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor/angiotensin receptor blocker withdrawal in advanced renal disease: the STOP-ACEi trial
Background Blood pressure (BP) control and reduction of urinary protein excretion using agents that block the renin–angiotensin aldosterone system are the mainstay of therapy for chronic kidney disease (CKD). Research has confirmed the benefits in mild CKD, but data on angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEi) or angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) use in advanced CKD are lacking. In the STOP-ACEi trial, we aim to confirm preliminary findings which suggest that withdrawal of ACEi/ARB treatment can stabilize or even improve renal function in patients with advanced progressive CKD. Methods The STOP-ACEi trial (tri...

Beat Depression to Stay Healthier & Live Longer: A Guide for Older Adults & Their Families
Many people find the reality of getting older depressing. And depression itself often comes with a stigma. So when we talk about depression and aging combined, what results is a very complicated — and often hard to treat — issue. Gary S. Moak, former president of the American Association for Geriatric Psychiatry, has written a new book to help. Beat Depression to Stay Healthier and Live Longer: A Guide for Older Adults and Their Families combines Moak’s years of experience working with elderly populations with the latest research on depression. Moak begins by defining depression and clarifying many of the myths...

The Safety of Erythropoiesis-Stimulating Agents for the Treatment of Anemia Resulting from Chronic Kidney Disease
Abstract Chronic kidney disease (CKD) anemia treatment was revolutionized in the late 1980s with the introduction of recombinant human erythropoietin. This and related erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs) greatly benefited patients by decreasing debilitating symptoms, improving their quality of life, and freeing them from dependence on blood transfusions with their associated complications such as infections, sensitization impeding transplantation, and secondary iron overload. However, even in the initial studies, untoward effects were noted in patients receiving ESAs, including worsening hypertension, seizure...

Effects of blood pressure on renal and cardiovascular outcomes in Asian patients with type 2 diabetes and overt nephropathy: a post hoc analysis (ORIENT-blood pressure)
Conclusion In Asian type 2 diabetic patients with chronic kidney disease and heavy proteinuria, reduction of SBP ≤ 130 mmHg was associated with greater renoprotection than cardioprotection. However, our results emphasize the need to individualize BP targets in type 2 diabetes.

The role of cystatin-C in the confirmation of reduced glomerular filtration rate among the oldest old.
CONCLUSIONS: Reduced eGFRcr was confirmed using eGFRcys for the vast majority of adults ≥ 80 years. These results suggest that using cystatin-C to confirm a reduced eGFRcr may not be necessary among the oldest old. PMID: 26925119 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

The Association Between Unhealthy Lifestyle Behaviors and the Prevalence of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) in Middle-Aged and Older Men.
CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that an accumulation of unhealthy lifestyle behaviors, especially those related to lack of habitual moderate exercise and presence of late-night dinner and bedtime snacking may be associated with the prevalence of CKD.
