Mashup Score: 25Frailty and Duration of Maintenance Dialysis: A Japanese Nationwide Cross-Sectional Study - 23 day(s) ago
End-stage kidney disease increases the risk of frailty. Understanding how long-term dialysis affects physical function may help patients and caregivers plan their lives better. Our research explores the relationship between duration of maintenance dialysis and frailty. We found that longer durations of maintenance dialysis, especially longer than 30 years, were associated with a higher risk of frailty and being bedridden among Japanese patients. The factors responsible for these associations should be the focus of future research.

Mashup Score: 10Vitamin D Metabolites Before and After Kidney Transplantation in Patients Who Are Anephric - 25 day(s) ago
Kidneys are vital for vitamin D metabolism and disruptions in both production and catabolism occur in chronic kidney disease. Although vitamin D activation occurs in numerous tissues, the kidneys are the most relevant source of circulating active vitamin D. This study investigates extrarenal vitamin D activation and the impact of kidney transplantation on vitamin D metabolism in patients who are anephric.

Mashup Score: 35Cumulative Blood Pressure Load and Incident CKD - 27 day(s) ago
The association of long-term cumulative blood pressure (BP) loads with the risk of incident chronic kidney disease (CKD) remains a matter of debate. This study aimed to investigate this association among healthy Korean adults with normal kidney function.

Mashup Score: 7Smoking Timing, Healthy Diet, and Risk of Incident CKD Among Smokers: Findings From UK Biobank - 28 day(s) ago
While smoking is a recognized risk factor for chronic kidney disease (CKD), the relationship between the time smoking is initiated after awakening each day and CKD remains largely unstudied. This study examined the association between this timing and the risk of CKD, and the potential interactions of smoking timing with other risk factors for the occurrence of CKD.

Mashup Score: 21Clinicopathologic, Proteomic and Outcome Characteristics of Renal Apolipoprotein C-II Amyloidosis: A Case Series - 1 month(s) ago
Amyloidosis derived from apolipoprotein C-II (AApoCII) is a recently discovered, rare form of amyloidosis. Data on clinical presentations and natural history are very limited. This study defines the clinicopathologic, proteomic and outcome characteristics of renal AApoCII.

Mashup Score: 13Glomerular Filtration Rate Estimation Using β2-Microglobulin and β-Trace Protein in Adults With Solid Tumors: A Prospective Cross-Sectional Study - 1 month(s) ago
β2-Microglobulin (B2M) and β-trace protein (BTP) are novel endogenous filtration markers that may improve the accuracy of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) beyond creatinine and cystatin C (eGFRcr-cys), but they have not been assessed in patients with cancer.

Mashup Score: 41Klotho and Clinical Outcomes in CKD: Findings From the Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort (CRIC) Study - 1 month(s) ago
Klotho deficiency may affect clinical outcomes in chronic kidney disease (CKD) through fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF23)-dependent and -independent pathways. However, the association between circulating Klotho and clinical outcomes in CKD remains unresolved and was the focus of this study.
