FRAIL scale as a screening tool and a predictor of mortality in non-dialysis dependent patients
CONCLUSION: Physical frailty phenotype identifies more patients as having pre-frailty and frailty in non-dialysis dependent patients as compared to the FRAIL scale. However, the FRAIL scale is a simple bedside tool that can be useful for screening for frailty and whose results were associated with mortality.PMID:38530601 | DOI:10.1007/s40620-024-01900-3 (Source: Journal of Nephrology)

Comparison of blood volume biofeedback hemodialysis and conventional hemodialysis on cardiovascular stability and blood pressure control in hemodialysis patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
CONCLUSIONS: The use of blood volume tracking systems may be effective in reducing the incidence of intradialytic hypotension and allowing for easier attainment of the patients' ideal dry body weight. New studies to examine the long-term effects of the use of blood volume tracking systems on real hard endpoints are needed.PMID:38530603 | DOI:10.1007/s40620-023-01844-0 (Source: Journal of Nephrology)

Lymphatic vessels in patients with  crescentic glomerulonephritis: association with renal pathology and prognosis

The predictive value of systemic inflammatory markers in 902 patients with tunneled hemodialysis catheter
CONCLUSION: This study highlights the interest of specific inflammatory markers, particularly monocytes, neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio, and platelet-lymphocyte ratio, in the management of tunneled catheters, notably in patients undergoing exchanges. However, cut-off values, essential for constructing management algorithms, are currently lacking, and prospective multicenter studies are needed for further elucidation.PMID:38512368 | DOI:10.1007/s40620-023-01880-w (Source: Journal of Nephrology)

Significance of the total renal chronicity score in predicting renal outcome in PLA2R-associated membranous nephropathy

Native nephrectomy in polycystic kidney disease patients on transplant lists: how and when?
J Nephrol. 2024 Mar 21. doi: 10.1007/s40620-024-01899-7. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAutosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), the most common hereditary kidney disease, accounts for approximately 10% of the patients on kidney transplantation waitlists. High rates of complications including hemorrhage, infections, nephrolithiasis and kidney size-related compressive complaints have been reported among ADPKD patients. Therefore, the need for routine native nephrectomy and timing of such procedure in ADPKD patients being prepared for transplantation are debated. Even though pre-transplant nephrectomy has the pot...
