α-Klotho is associated with cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in patients with stage 3b and 4 chronic kidney disease (CKD): a long-term prospective cohort study.

Background: α-Klotho deficiency may increase cardiovascular risks and worsen survival. We evaluated the association of α-Klotho with cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in pre-dialysis chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients.

Methods: In this prospective study, 75 non-diabetic CKD stage 3b-4 patients were followed-up for a median of 8 years.

[Anemia of chronic diseases in the early stages of chronic kidney disease as a risk factor for cardiovascular complications in patients with glomerulonephritis].

Aim: To determine biomarkers of anemia of chronic disease (ACD) in patients with glomerulonephritis (GN) in the early stages of CKD, to assess their role as risk factors for cardiovascular complications (CVС).

Materials And Methods: Seventy nine patients with GN were studied, among them: 40 with primary сhronic GN (CGN), 39 with secondary forms:19 - GN with ANCA-associated systemic vasculitis, 20 - GN with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) at early (all I-II) CKD stages. In all patients, the level of serum C-reactive protein (CRP), hepcidin, interferon γ, and the circulating form of protein Klotho (s-Klotho) were determined.

Acute Kidney Injury in Hospitalized Patients with COVID-19: Risk Factors and Serum Biomarkers.

Background: AKI is one of the COVID-19 complications with high prognostic significance. In our research, we studied the prognostic role of several biomarkers that could help us understand AKI pathogenesis in patients with COVID-19.

Methods: We evaluated the medical data of 500 patients hospitalized with COVID-19 in Tareev Clinic from 5 October 2020 to 1 March 2022.

[Diagnostic and treatment difficulties in kidney damage in the patient with generalized sarcoidosis during COVID-19. Case report].

The presented clinical observation reflects the difficulties of differential diagnosis of progressive kidney damage in a patient with sarcoidosis who has undergone a new coronavirus infection. The differential circle included interstitial nephritis as an exacerbation of the underlying disease, acute drug-induced kidney injury, acute glomerulonephritis. Nephrobiopsy confirmed the diagnosis of acute sarcoid tubulointerstitial nephritis with acute tubular necrosis.
