Cardiovascular disease is associated with increased fracture risk in the general population. Few data exist on the association between cardiovascular health and incident fracture risk in patients with advanced CKD, a high-risk population for fractures. We aimed to assess the link between fracture risk and cardiovascular health in a prospective cohort of 210 patients with CKD stage G4-5.

Furthermore, few data exist on adverse outcomes associated with central venous catheter (CVC) insertions in urgent-start HD patients. Thus, we sought to compare patient and dialysis-related outcomes in patients undergoing urgent-start PD or HD.

- - The GODIF trial investigates whether using furosemide to remove excess fluid in ICU patients improves outcomes compared to a placebo, as fluid overload is linked to higher mortality in these patients.
- - Involving 1000 stable adult ICU patients, the trial employs a randomized, blinded, and pragmatic design to measure the primary outcome of days alive and out of the hospital within 90 days after treatment.
- - The statistical analysis plan includes rigorous methods for comparing treatment groups and considers various prognostic variables to enhance the reliability of the findings regarding furosemide's effectiveness.
Background: Studies on the association between solute, nutrition and fluid intakes and mortality and later kidney function in critically ill acute kidney injury (AKI) patients receiving continuous veno-venous hemodialysis (CVVHD) are scarce.
Methods: Altogether, 471 consecutive critically ill AKI patients receiving CVVHD in the research intensive care unit (ICU) were recruited in this single-center, retrospective study.
Results: The median age was 66 (58-74) years, and 138 (29.
Introduction: Fluid overload in patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) is associated with higher mortality. There are few randomized controlled trials to guide physicians in treating patients with fluid overload in the ICU, and no guidelines exist. We aimed to elucidate how ICU physicians from Nordic countries define, assess, and treat fluid overload in the ICU.
