Effects of immunosuppressive therapy on renal prognosis in primary membranous nephropathy.

Background: Immunosuppressive therapy plays a crucial role in treating membranous nephropathy, with previous studies highlighting its benefits for patients with primary membranous nephropathy (PMN). Guidelines suggest that the management of membranous nephropathy should be tailored to individual risk levels. However, there is a lack of real-world studies examining the effects of immunosuppressive therapy on renal outcomes in PMN patients.

Association Between Hypertension and New-Onset Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease in Chinese Non-Obese People: A Longitudinal Cohort Study.

Background: Quantification of the relationship between hypertension and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) risk is limited and controversial. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between hypertension and NAFLD in non-obese Chinese and to use different methods to demonstrate that hypertension is an independent risk factor for NAFLD.

Methods: On 16,153 nonobese individuals, a retrospective cohort study was conducted in China to examine the impact of hypertension on incident NAFLD.

Non-linear relationship between albumin-corrected calcium and 30-day in-hospital mortality in ICU patients: A multicenter retrospective cohort study.

Objective: Albumin-corrected calcium is usually calculated to reflect the real serum calcium level of the whole body by physicians. However, studies on the association between albumin-corrected calcium and 30-day in-hospital mortality in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) patients are rare. The purpose of our study was to explore the association between baseline albumin-corrected calcium and 30-day in-hospital mortality in the American ICU population.

Evaluated Glomerular Filtration Rate Is Associated With Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: A 5-Year Longitudinal Cohort Study in Chinese Non-obese People.

Objective: Evidence regarding the association between evaluated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is still limited. On that account, the purpose of our research is to survey the link of evaluated eGFR on NAFLD.

Methods: This study is a retrospective cohort study.

Association Between Urinary Protein-to-Creatinine Ratio and Chronic Kidney Disease Progression: A Secondary Analysis of a Prospective Cohort Study.

Objective: Studies on the association between urinary protein-to-creatinine ratio (UPCR) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression are limited. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between UPCR and CKD progression in a Japanese population.

Methods: The present research was a secondary analysis of a prospective cohort study.
