Article Synopsis
- * Researchers performed a retrospective analysis on 116 HD patients, finding that 32.7% had persistent aPL positivity, which was significantly linked to AVF maturation failure, independent of other complications like stenosis.
- * The findings suggest for the first time a strong connection between aPL positivity and delayed or inadequate maturation of native AVFs, highlighting potential clinical implications for managing HD patients.
Article Synopsis
- Traditional hydration assessment methods are accurate but invasive, making them impractical for regular monitoring.
- Non-invasive techniques like bioelectrical impedance analysis, electrodermal activity, ECG monitoring, and urine color charts have been developed for easier and more comfortable hydration tracking.
- This review discusses how these methods utilize sensors and machine learning to provide real-time hydration feedback, which is essential for preventing urinary stones and improving kidney health.
With nephrolithiasis projected to affect 25% of the global population in the next three decades, there is an urgent call for innovative management strategies to prevent and reduce stone recurrence. This study aims to explore the evolving management needs in nephrolithiasis from both patient and healthcare provider perspectives. An expert-collaborative online survey comprising 10 targeted questions on kidney stone management was developed and disseminated.

Methods: We conducted an observational cohort study using data from 35 sites in two European countries.
The aim of this study was to construct the fourth in a series of guidelines on the treatment of urolithiasis by the International Alliance of Urolithiasis (IAU) that by providing a clinical framework for the metabolic evaluation, prevention, and follow-up of patients with urolithiasis based on the best available published literature. All recommendations were summarized following a systematic review and assessment of the literature in the PubMed database from January 1976 to June 2022. Each generated recommendation was graded using a modified GRADE methodology.
