Mashup Score: 63Biomarkers of Kidney Disease Progression in Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease - 3 month(s) ago
Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) is the most common monogenic kidney disorder and the fourth leading cause of kidney failure in adults. Characterized by a reduction in glomerular filtration rate and increased kidney size, ADPKD exhibits significant variability in progression, highlighting the urgent need for reliable predictive biomarkers to optimize management and treatment approaches. This review explores the roles of diverse biomarkers—including clinical, genetic, molecular, and imaging biomarkers—in evaluating disease progression and customizing treatments for ADPKD.

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a significant complication in patients with sickle cell disease (SCD), leading to increased mortality. Objective: This study aims to investigate the burden of CKD in Medicaid-enrolled adults with SCD in California, examine differences in disease burden between male and female individuals, and assess mortality rates and access to specialized care. Methods: This retrospective cohort study used the California Sickle Cell Data Collection program to identify and monitor individuals with SCD. Medicaid claims, vital records, emergency department, and hospitalization data from 2011 to 2020 were analyzed. CKD prevalence was assessed based on ICD (International Classification of Diseases) codes, and mortality rates were calculated. Access to specialized care was examined through outpatient encounter rates with hematologists and nephrologists. Results: Among the 2345 adults with SCD, 24.4% (n=572) met the case definition for CKD. The SCD-CKD group was o
