Obesity and kidney transplantation
Curr Opin Organ Transplant. 2023 Feb 1. doi: 10.1097/MOT.0000000000001050. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPURPOSE OF REVIEW: Obesity has reached epidemic proportions in the United States. It is a risk factor for developing, among others, heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and chronic kidney disease (CKD), and thus a major public health concern and driver of healthcare costs. Although the prevalence of obesity in the CKD/end-stage kidney disease population is increasing, many obese patients are excluded from the benefit of kidney transplant based on their BMI alone. For this reason, we sought to review the experience th...

Waitlist and transplant outcomes for patients bridged to heart transplantation with Impella 5.0 and 5.5 devices
ConclusionsImpella devices can be used as a BTT with excellent survival and minimal post-transplant morbidity. Outcomes were comparable for Impella 5.0 and 5.5 devices.

Costs of major complications in people with and without diabetes in Tasmania, Australia
ConclusionsDiabetes complications are costly, and the costs are higher in people with diabetes than without diabetes. Our results can be used to populate diabetes simulation models and will support policy analyses to reduce the burden of diabetes.PMID:36375176 | DOI:10.1071/AH22180

Acute kidney injury and risk of cardiovascular outcomes: A nationwide cohort study
CONCLUSION: Non-selected patients aged 50 years or above with AKI during admission had significantly higher one-year risk of cardiovascular event or death, especially, but not only due to heart failure, independent of age and eGFR.PMID:36210122 | DOI:10.1016/j.nefroe.2022.06.003

Hypoxia-inducible factor stabilisers for the anaemia of chronic kidney disease
CONCLUSIONS: HIF stabiliser management of anaemia had uncertain effects on CV death, fatigue, death (any cause), CV outcomes, and kidney failure compared to placebo or ESAs. Compared to placebo or ESAs, HIF stabiliser management of anaemia probably decreased the proportion of patients requiring blood transfusions, and probably increased the proportion of patients reaching the target Hb when compared to placebo.PMID:36005278 | DOI:10.1002/14651858.CD013751.pub2

CZecking heart failure in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (Czech HF-CKD): Study protocol
DISCUSSION: This trial will differ from others by: (1) detailed repeated hemodynamic assessment including arteriovenous access flow and (2) by careful assessment of adequate hydration to avoid confusion between HF and water overload.PMID:35676802 | DOI:10.1177/11297298221099843

Determining  optimal donor heart ischemic times in adult cardiac transplantation
ConclusionsThe donor heart IT threshold for survival determined from unbiased statistical modeling occurs at 3  h. With longer preservation times, transplantation with O donor hearts was associated with worse survival.

Medical costs for managing chronic kidney disease and related complications in patients with chronic kidney disease and type 2 diabetes
CONCLUSIONS: Management of CKD and its complications incurs high medical costs for patients with CKD and T2D. Results from this study can be used to quantify the economic profile of emerging treatments and inform decision-making.PMID:34878754 | DOI:10.37765/ajmc.2021.88807
