Mashup Score: 18Kidney and epigenetic mechanisms of salt-sensitive hypertension - Nature Reviews Nephrology - 2 year(s) ago
In this Review, the authors discuss the renal mechanism of salt-sensitive hypertension induced by malnutrition during pregnancy, obesity in adult life and ageing. They also describe the epigenetic mechanisms that potentially contribute to the development of salt-sensitive hypertension in these settings.

Mashup Score: 10Challenges and novel therapies for vascular access in haemodialysis - Nature Reviews Nephrology - 2 year(s) ago
Effective treatment of kidney failure depends on reliable vascular access; however, options for chronic vascular access for haemodialysis have remained unchanged for decades. This Review evaluates the key existing challenges in establishing and maintaining vascular access and describes novel and innovative technologies under development that address these issues.

Mashup Score: 17Incretin drugs in diabetic kidney disease: biological mechanisms and clinical evidence - Nature Reviews Nephrology - 3 year(s) ago
Clinical trials have demonstrated that glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor (GLP1R) agonists have therapeutic benefits beyond glycaemic control. Here, the authors examine the protective effects of incretin-based therapies in patients with diabetic kidney disease and how the immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory effects of GLP1 might underlie this protection.

Mashup Score: 17Ultrafiltration in critically ill patients treated with kidney replacement therapy - Nature Reviews Nephrology - 3 year(s) ago
Here, the authors describe the mechanisms of ultrafiltration during kidney replacement therapy, the effects of ultrafiltration on cardiovascular physiology and the principles of volume management in critically ill patients. They also discuss potential mechanisms that could underlie the association between ultrafiltration rate and organ dysfunction.

Mashup Score: 4Planar cell polarity pathway in kidney development, function and disease - Nature Reviews Nephrology - 3 year(s) ago
Planar cell polarity (PCP) refers to the coordinated orientation of cells in the tissue plane and is important for several key morphogenetic and homeostatic processes. This Review describes the origins of PCP signalling, its activity and cellular targets, with an emphasis on the PCP pathway in kidney development, function and disease.

Mashup Score: 7Rare genetic causes of complex kidney and urological diseases - Nature Reviews Nephrology - 3 year(s) ago
An increasing body of evidence suggests that genomic disorders and monogenic aetiologies contribute meaningfully to seemingly complex forms of chronic kidney disease (CKD). This Review describes rare genetic causes of CKD and the genetic and phenotypic complexity of this group of disorders, and discusses novel approaches to help to address the challenges posed by the complexity of CKD.

Mashup Score: 1Integrated multi-omics approaches to improve classification of chronic kidney disease - Nature Reviews Nephrology - 3 year(s) ago
Classification of kidney diseases according to their molecular mechanisms has potential to improve patient outcomes through the identification of targeted therapeutic approaches. This Review provides an overview of the ways in which omics and other data types can be integrated to enhance our understanding of the mechanisms underlying kidney function and failure.
