Host-Shaped Microbial Metabolite Signaling in the AKI-to-CKDTransition: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Boundaries
Acute kidney injury (AKI) increases the subsequent risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD), but the transition is shaped by the quality of tubular repair rather than nephron loss alone. We frame the gut-kidney axis as a bidirectional host-m...

The association between Metabolic indicators and chronic kidney disease in adults——a cohort analysis
Introduction: In recent years, the correlation between metabolic disorders and chronic kidney disease (CKD) has received increasing attention. However, the association between metabolic markers and CKD risk remains unclear. This study wa...

U-shaped association of time-averaged cumulative diastolic blood pressure slope with mortality in hemodialysis patients
Background. Blood pressure (BP) is an important modifiable prognostic factor in maintenance hemodialysis patients. We previously introduced intradialytic time-averaged cumulative blood pressure (TAC-BP), calculated from all BP measuremen...

Ratio of red blood cell distribution width to albumin level and mortality outcomes in population with chronic kidney disease
Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is one of the major public health issues worldwide. The red blood cell distribution width to albumin ratio (RAR) has emerged as a reliable and accessible marker to reflect inflammation and nutriti...

Serum Uric Acid and Blood Urea Nitrogen as Primary Determinants of eGFR in 23,960 Chinese Adults: A Cross-Sectional Study with Machine Learning and Longitudinal Validation
Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects approximately 850 million individuals worldwide. Machine learning (ML) approaches offer potential advantages over traditional regression for identifying eGFR determinants, but prior studie...

Effects of denosumab or romosozumab on vascular calcification in dialysis patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Introduction: Patients on hemodialysis are at high risk of vascular calcification, which contributes to cardiovascular events and mortality. The impact of osteoporosis therapies, including denosumab and romosozumab, on vascular calcifica...
