Article Synopsis
- Prognosis for autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is traditionally based on linear growth formulas related to kidney volume, but this study highlights that nonlinear growth patterns are common and influential.
- A retrospective study of 83 individuals with typical ADPKD identified three kidney growth patterns: slow progression, fast progression, and atypical progression, with atypical progressors showing the greatest decline in kidney function and higher rates of acute complications.
- The findings suggest that nonlinear growth in ADPKD can lead to significant health risks, indicating a need for updated monitoring and treatment strategies for affected individuals.
Background: Hypercalcemia is highly prevalent in kidney transplant recipients with hyperparathyroidism. However, its long-term impact on graft function is uncertain.
Methods: We conducted a prospective cohort study investigating adverse graft outcomes associated with persistent hypercalcemia (free calcium > 5.
Introduction: Peritoneal dialysis (PD) guidelines recommend a 14-day break-in period after catheter placement, yet this period could be shortened with new insertion techniques.
Methods: We conducted a prospective cohort study to compare percutaneous vs. surgical catheter insertion in a newly established PD program.
Background: In patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), there is limited evidence of the rate of cyst progression after kidney transplantation.
Aims: To compare the height-adjusted total kidney volume (Ht-TKV) before and after transplantation in kidney transplant recipients (KTR) with -ADPKD.
Materials And Methods: Retrospective cohort study.
Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication of COVID-19. Several etiologies have been identified, including pigment deposition likely associated with myopathic damage. Nevertheless, the relationship between longitudinal creatine-kinase trends and renal outcomes is uncertain.
