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.
This article describes a study examining the association between treatment with ACE inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) and incident hypoglycemia in patients with or without diabetes who were admitted to the internal medicine departments of a tertiary hospital in the Tel Aviv district of Israel. The authors found that treatment with ARBs, but not ACE inhibitors, compared with treatment with neither, was associated with a reduced risk of hypoglycemia regardless of diabetes status.

- The study investigates how kidney function (measured by eGFR) changes over time after transplantation and its relationship with graft survival.
- Among 988 patients followed for an average of 5.2 years, 30.1% showed complex patterns of eGFR decline, which correlated with a higher risk of graft failure.
- Findings suggest that monitoring eGFR changes can help identify factors leading to kidney graft loss, highlighting the importance of individualized patient management post-transplant.
Hemodialysis patients are highly susceptible to poor nutritional status. Our objective was to investigate whether poor nutritional status during mRNA-SARS-CoV-2 vaccination is correlated with impaired vaccine responses. This retrospective study was conducted in two hospital-based dialysis units.
