Article Synopsis
- The study explores the relationship between urinary potassium excretion and cardiac injury in patients with chronic kidney disease, finding that higher urinary potassium excretion may lead to a reduced risk of cardiac injury.
- Data from 1633 patients indicated that although serum potassium levels did not correlate with cardiac injury, an increase in the urinary potassium to creatinine ratio was linked to lower odds of cardiac injury.
- The analysis suggests that serum potassium levels only play a minor and statistically insignificant role in the relationship between urinary potassium excretion and cardiac injury.
Background: The relationship between self-rated health (SRH) and the development of incident chronic kidney disease (CKD) has not been explored in the general population.
Methods: We reviewed the data of 7027 participants in the Ansung-Ansan cohort study. SRH was categorized as poor, fair, or good, and the outcome was the development of CKD, defined as the first event of an estimated glomerular filtration rate < 60 mL/min/1.
Background: The relationship between orthostatic blood pressure (BP) changes and incident chronic kidney disease (CKD) has not been explored in Asian populations.
Methods: We reviewed the data of 7,039 participants from the Ansung-Ansan cohort study. BP was measured in the supine position and 2 minutes after standing.
Introduction: The renal hazard of polypharmacy has never been evaluated in predialysis chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients.
Objective: We aimed to analyze the renal hazard of polypharmacy in predialysis CKD patients with stage 1-5.
Method: The data of 2,238 patients from a large-scale multicenter prospective Korean study (2011-2016), excluding 325 patients with various missing data, were reviewed.
Background: Hyperglycemic conditions are associated with respiratory dysfunction. Although several studies have reported that insulin resistance (IR) is related to decreased lung function, the association between IR and change in lung function has been rarely studied. This study aimed to investigate the potential association of IR on annual change in lung function using a community-based prospective cohort in Korea.

We investigated the association between obstructive spirometry pattern and incident CKD development in a large-scale prospective cohort study.
Methods: We reviewed the data of 7960 non-CKD adults aged 40-69 years who participated in the Ansung-Ansan cohort, a prospective community-based cohort study.
Background: No study has compared the clinical impact of indexation of left ventricular mass (LVM) on adverse clinical outcomes in pre-dialysis patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD).
Methods: We reviewed 2,101 patients from a large-scale multi-center prospective study that gathered anthropometric and echocardiographic measurements and clinical outcomes. The LVM was indexed as body surface area (LVMI-BSA) and height raised to the power of 2.
Introduction: Thyroid function is evaluated by thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and free thyroxine (fT4). Although many studies have indicated an intimate relationship between thyroid hormones and kidney functions, reports about the simultaneous evaluation of TSH and fT4 are rare.
Objective: We aimed to analyze the association between TSH and kidney function, with emphasis on a potential nonlinear relationship, and identify an independent relationship between fT4 and kidney function.
Background: Few studies have examined the relationship between cardiac function and geometry and serum hepcidin levels in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). We aimed to identify the relationship between cardiac function and geometry and serum hepcidin levels.
Methods: We reviewed data of 1,897 patients in a large-scale multicenter prospective Korean study.
Purpose: Elevated aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) transactivating (AHRT) activity and uremia in chronic kidney disease (CKD) may interact with each other, further complicating the disease course. In this study, we prospectively estimated serum AHRT activity using a highly sensitive cell-based AhR-dependent luciferase activity assay in CKD patients and compared differences therein according to treatment modality.
Materials And Methods: Patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD) (n=22) and hemodialysis (HD) (n=38) and patients with pre-dialysis CKD stage IV or V (n=28) were included.
Sub-morbid dehydration-associated glomerular hyperfiltration: An emerging reality?
Kidney Res Clin Pract
June 2019
Background: Severe dehydration decreases renal perfusion. However, it is unclear whether sub-morbid dehydration affects kidney function similarly. Although there have been numerous animal and human studies that have suggested mild dehydration is associated with glomerular hyperfiltration, it has not been confirmed on a large-scale in the general population.

Background: Few studies have examined the association between hepcidin, iron indices and bone mineral metabolism in non-dialysis chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients.
Methods: We reviewed the data of 2238 patients from a large-scale multicenter prospective Korean study (2011-16) and excluded 214 patients with missing data on markers and related medications of iron and bone mineral metabolism, hemoglobin, blood pressure and causes of CKD. Multivariate linear regression analysis was used to identify the association between iron and bone mineral metabolism.
