Zero-contrast imaging for the assessment of transcatheter aortic valve implantation in candidates with renal dysfunction
CONCLUSION: The proposed contrast-free imaging protocol appears to be a promising clinical tool for pre-TAVI evaluation in patients with severe renal dysfunction.PMID:37350345 | DOI:10.1080/0886022X.2023.2224888

Severe Neurological Involvement in an Adult with Shiga Toxin-Producing < i > Escherichia coli < /i > -Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome Treated with Eculizumab
A 68-year-old man with a medical history of hypertension was admitted to the emergency department for diffuse abdominal pain preceded by bloody diarrhea. Upon admission, neurological examination was normal, but he suddenly developed a left-sided hemiparesis. After a normal brain computed tomography, intravenous thrombolysis was administered for a suspicion of ischemic stroke. In the first laboratory investigations, hemoglobin was 16.9 g/dL, platelets 121 × 109/L (150 –450), and serum creatinine 1.17 mg/dL. By the second hospital day, the platelet level dropped to 79 × 109/L, with haptoglobin at 0.12 g/L, 3% schistocyte...

Increased Premature Cerebral Small Vessel Diseases in Dialysis Patients: A Retrospective Cross-Sectional Study
Conclusion: We demonstrated a higher prevalence and early-onset tendency of CSVD in dialysis patients, especially for CMBs and WMHs. Dialysis patients showed different patterns and associated factors for CSVD.Nephron

Low serum phosphate is associated with ischemic stroke in hemodialysis patients
ConclusionsLow serum phosphate is a risk factor for developing ischemic stroke in hemodialysis patients. The results suggest that managing serum phosphate ≥ 4.5 mg/dL among hemodialysis patients may reduce the risk of ischemic stroke.

Neonatal stroke and haematuria: Answers
ConclusionsThis case highlights a relatively newly discovered cause of hereditary nephropathy in which the basement membrane is affected, with initial effects on the glomerular membranes and subsequent effects on the renal tubular basement membranes.

A Novel Missense GLA Mutation (p.G35V) Detected in Hemodialysis Screening Leads to Severe Systemic Manifestations of Fabry Disease in Men and Women
Conclusion: The novel missense mutation p.G35V leads to severe systemic manifestations of FD in men and women. Kidney histological changes, including tubulointerstitial fibrosis, may predate albuminuria and GFR changes in adult women. Novel non-invasive markers are required for early detection of Fabry nephropathy.Nephron

Cognitive Function and Kidney Disease: Baseline Data From the Systolic Blood Pressure Intervention Trial (SPRINT)
Conclusions In older adults, higher urine ACR and lower eGFR have independent associations with global cognitive performance with different affected domains. Albuminuria concurrently identifies a higher burden of abnormal brain white matter disease, suggesting that vascular disease may mediate these relationships.

Intradialytic Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging to Assess Cardiovascular Responses in a Short-Term Trial of Hemodiafiltration and Hemodialysis
In conclusion, in this randomized, crossover study, there was no significant difference in the cardiovascular response to HDF or HD with cooled dialysate as assessed with intradialytic MRI.

Cognitive Impairment and Structural Neuroimaging Abnormalities Among Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease
Conclusion: Dialysis modality showed no association with cognitive impairment, although hemodialysis patients had more severe neuroimaging abnormalities. For the whole group, white matter hyperintensity, and ventricular and hippocampal atrophy, were independently associated with global cognitive impairment in chronic kidney disease patients.Kidney Blood Press Res 2016;41:986-996

Silent Cerebral Microbleeds and Longitudinal Risk of Renal and Cardiovascular Events in Patients with CKD.
CONCLUSIONS: In patients with CKD, the presence of microbleeds is a novel and independent predictor of both renal and cardiovascular disease end points.

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.

The deleterious effects of arteriovenous fistula-creation on the cardiovascular system: a longitudinal magnetic resonance imaging study.
CONCLUSION: In patients with end-stage renal failure, fistula-formation is associated with an increase in cardiac output, dilation of all cardiac chambers and deterioration in endothelial function.
