Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the link between abnormal cholesterol levels and cardiovascular issues in kidney transplant recipients (KTR), focusing on Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events (MACE) and mortality rates.
- It analyzed data from 737 KTR patients over a median follow-up of nearly eight years, finding that high LDL-C levels and a high LDL-C/HDL-C ratio significantly predicted an increased risk of MACE.
- The researchers conclude that monitoring and improving cholesterol profiles, particularly the LDL-C/HDL-C ratio, is crucial for managing cardiovascular risk in this vulnerable population.
Background: Hemodialysis patients are at high risk for severe COVID-19 disease. Despite a high early seropositivity rate, dialysis patients mount a dampened immune response following two doses of an mRNA vaccine. This study aimed to evaluate the serologic response to a booster dose of BNT162b2 vaccine, 6 months after the second dose, among hemodialysis patients.

Objectives: To report on the experience of one center with regard to diagnosing and treating this complication.
Methods: The retrospective case-series involved six patients (3 females, 3 males; age 52-88 years; 5/6 were smokers) on chronic hemodialysis at a single center.
Bezafibrate (BzF) is eliminated by renal excretion and dosage must be reduced in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). There is a concern that BzF causes a further deterioration in renal function in patients with CKD. This study assessed whether BzF discontinuation or dose reduction in CKD patients improves renal function.
