Post-transplant renal anemia: a call to action from a national study in routine clinical practice.

Background: Post-transplant anemia is a prevalent yet often overlooked condition that poses significant risks. Current guidelines consider the same treatment recommendations and goals for these patients as for chronic kidney disease patients not on dialysis. Previous reports demonstrated a lack of awareness and suboptimal management, indicating a pressing need for improvement.

Efficacy and Safety in a Real-World Study of the New Oral Formulation of Semaglutide in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) have emerged as fundamental components in the treatment of type 2 diabetic patients (T2DM) with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The oral formulation represents a novel therapeutic tool but may affect drug efficacy. This study sought to compare the effectiveness of subcutaneous versus oral semaglutide formulations in patients with CKD.

Transitions and Long-Term Clinical Outcomes in Patients Admitted in Intensive Care Units Receiving Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy.

: Acute kidney injury (AKI) significantly disrupts vital renal functions and is a common and serious condition in intensive care units (ICUs). AKI leads to extended hospital stays, increases mortality rates, and often necessitates nephrology consultations. Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) plays a central role in managing AKI, requiring a multidisciplinary approach involving nephrologists, intensivists, and anesthesiologists.

Anaemia and quality of life in chronic kidney disease: a consensus document from the European Anaemia of CKD Alliance.

Anaemia is common in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and has a significant impact on quality of life (QoL), work productivity and outcomes. Current management includes oral or intravenous iron and erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs), to which hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl hydroxylase inhibitors (HIF-PHIs) have been recently added, increasing the available therapeutic options. In randomised controlled trials, only intravenous iron improved cardiovascular outcome, while some ESAs were associated with increased adverse cardiovascular events.
