Acute kidney injury in pregnancy is associated with increased risks for adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes: an integrated health system study
Background: Pregnancy-related acute kidney injury (PrAKI) is an uncommon but serious complication associated with adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes, with limited data in high-resource settings. Methods: We conducted a retrospective ...

2-Deoxy-2-[18F]Fluorosorbitol (18F-FDS) as a Potential PET Tracer for Renal Imaging and GFR Measurement: Comparative Assessment with 68Ga-EDTA and 99mTc-DTPA
Background: Accurate assessment of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is critical for monitoring renal function. This study aims to evaluate its feasibility as a PET radiopharmaceutical for renal imaging and GFR assessment. Its novelty lie...

Prognostic utility of Oxford MEST-C classification for allograft failure in transplant IgA nephropathy: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Background: The prognostic value of Oxford MEST-C classification for predicting allograft loss in transplant IgAN remains inconsistent across studies due to transplant-specific challenges. This meta-analysis evaluates the prognostic valu...

Open DOI
Association of eGFR Discrepancy With Subsequent Frailty in Middle-Aged and Older Adults
Background: Creatinine- and cystatin C-based estimated glomerular filtration rate estimates are influenced by different non-GFR determinants. Their difference (eGFRcys−eGFRcr) may therefore provide information beyond either marker alone....

Open DOI
Financial toxicity and its associated factors in patients requiring maintenance hemodialysis: a multicenter cross-sectional study in China
Background: Financial toxicity is a growing concern for patients requiring Maintenance hemodialysis (MHD), affecting their quality of life and treatment adherence. In economically challenged areas like China's Ningxia Province, patients ...

Oral Frailty and Health-Related Quality of Life in Maintenance Hemodialysis Patients
Background: Oral frailty may adversely affect health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis, but evidence in dialysis populations remains limited. We examined the association between oral frailty a...

Obesity in CKD: The Double-Edged Sword
Obesity and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are converging global epidemics with a complex, bidirectional relationship. Obesity directly drives de novo CKD and accelerates its progression via hemodynamic, metabolic, inflammatory, and neuroe...

Post-transplant follow-up for kidney transplant recipients: a systematic review of clinical practice guidelines
Background: Kidney transplantation is the treatment of choice for kidney failure, but long-term allograft survival remains challenging. Post-transplant follow-up is essential for monitoring allograft function and managing complications. ...

Processes of care prior to dialysis initiation: role of rural clinics
Background: Access to care may affect preparation for kidney replacement therapy (KRT). We evaluated the impact of the rural outreach program dedicated to chronic kidney disease (CKD) care on processes of care before KRT initiation in We...
