Under-recognized post-stroke acute kidney injury: risk factors and relevance for stroke outcome of a frequent comorbidity
ConclusionsPost-stroke AKI diagnosis needs to be improved by strictly monitoring individuals with cardioembolic or hemorrhagic stroke, reduced kidney function, higher Charlson Comorbidity Index and worse NIHSS at presentation.

Decreased percentage of peripheral na ïve T cells is independently associated with ischemic stroke in patients on hemodialysis
ConclusionA decrease in percentage of peripheral CD4 na ïve T cells is a risk factor for ischemic stroke in patients on hemodialysis.

Impact of dialysis modality on the survival of patients with end-stage renal disease and prior stroke
Conclusions PD was associated with overall poorer survival among patients with diabetes, ESRD and prior stroke and with similar overall survival among patients with ESRD and prior stroke, but without diabetes, compared with HD.

Clinical outcomes of stroke in hemodialysis patients: a retrospective single-center study
ConclusionsStroke outcome in these patients is dismal with prolonged hospital stay, poor functional status at discharge, very limited response to rehabilitation, and increased mortality.

Atrial fibrillation in dialysis patients: is there a place for non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants?
AbstractAtrial fibrillation (AF) occurs approximately in 3% of general population, with greater prevalence in elderly. Non-vitamin K-dependent oral anticoagulant agents (NOACs) according to the current European guidelines are recommended for patients with AF at high risk for stroke as a first-choice treatment. NOACs are not inferior to warfarin or some of them are better than warfarin in reducing the rate of ischemic stroke. Moreover, they significantly reduce the rate of intracranial hemorrhages, major bleedings, and mortality compared with warfarin. Nevertheless according to ESC guidelines, NOACs are not recommended in p...

Association of the blood urea nitrogen-to-left ventricular ejection fraction ratio with contrast-induced nephropathy in patients with acute coronary syndrome who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention
ConclusionThe BUNEFr may be a useful new predictor of CIN in ACS patients treated with PCI. The inclusion of BUNEFr in a multivariable model could allow improved risk classification in these patients regarding the development of CIN.

The number of valvular insufficiency is a strong predictor of cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in hemodialysis patients
ConclusionsIn maintenance HD patients, the prevalence of VI is prominently high. The number of VI  ≥ 2 is associated with emergency hospitalized for acute heart failure, cardiovascular and all-cause mortality. Combining age, number of VI ≥ 2, and albumin can predict cardiovascular and all-cause mortality.

Vasopressin receptor antagonists for the treatment of heart failure: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
Conclusions Vasopressin receptors antagonists may reduce body weight and increase Na but do not improve all-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality or kidney function. In addition, acceptability of long-term treatment side effects and hospitalization appears problematic.

Risk-based individualisation of target haemoglobin in haemodialysis patients with renal anaemia in the post-TREAT era: theoretical attitudes versus actual practice patterns (MONITOR-CKD5 study)
Conclusions Physicians’ theoretical attitudes to anaemia management in patients on haemodialysis appear to have been influenced by the results of the TREAT study, which involved patients not on dialysis. Physicians claim to use risk-based target Hb levels to guide renal anaemia care. However, there is discrepancy between these declared risk-based target Hb levels and actual target Hb levels for patients with variable risk factors.

Estimated glomerular filtration rate and albuminuria in Korean population evaluated for cardiovascular risk
Conclusions The ASCVD risk score had a stronger relationship with and better predicted albuminuria and eGFR than did the KRS and ATP III risk score.

Nocturia indicates a poor health status and increases mortality in male patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus
Conclusions The presence of nocturia was associated with erectile dysfunction, systemic vascular events, higher mortality, and indicated poor health in male with type 2 diabetic mellitus.

Influence of volume administration on Doppler-based renal resistive index, renal hemodynamics and renal function in medical intensive care unit patients with septic-induced acute kidney injury: a pilot study
Conclusions Responders to VC with septic-induced AKI can benefit from an optimized hemodynamic environment. The resistive index to guide fluid therapy for renal hemodynamic management may be limited by the small magnitude of the changes.

Cardiovascular risk after androgen deprivation therapy for prostate cancer: an Asian perspective
Abstract Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) plays an important role in managing prostate cancer. However, ADT may result in major cardiovascular events and potentially lead to fatal consequences. Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of mortality and it is a very important health condition to look into. Asians and Caucasians differ both physiologically and genetically, and they may have display different cardiovascular profiles. In this article, we reviewed the literature focusing on the cardiovascular risk after ADT for prostate cancer in the Asian population. We would discuss about the pathogenesis of ADT ...

Relevance of uric acid and asymmetric dimethylarginine for modeling cardiovascular risk prediction in chronic kidney disease patients
Conclusion Elevated serum uric acid and ADMA levels are associated with an increased cardiovascular risk, but their combination does not improve risk prediction. The effects are not additive, possibly because uric acid may lie in the causal pathway by which ADMA acts.

Dry weight assessment by combined ultrasound and bioimpedance monitoring in low cardiovascular risk hemodialysis patients: a randomized controlled trial
ConclusionsThis study shows that a LUS –bioimpedance-guided dry weight adjustment protocol, as compared to clinical evaluation, does not reduce all-cause mortality and/or CVE in HD patients. A fluid management protocol based on bioimpedance with LUS on indication might be a better strategy.
