Obesity increases the risk of kidney injury, involving various pathological events such as inflammation, insulin resistance, lipid metabolism disorders, and hemodynamic changes, making it a significant risk factor for the development and progression of chronic kidney disease. Diosmin, a natural flavonoid glycoside, exhibits anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-lipid, and vasodilatory effects. However, whether diosmin has a protective effect on obesity-related kidney injury remains unclear.

Background: Renal fibrosis is considered an irreversible pathological process and the ultimate common pathway for the development of all types of chronic kidney diseases and renal failure. Diosmin is a natural flavonoid glycoside that has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antifibrotic activities. However, whether Diosmin protects kidneys by inhibiting renal fibrosis is unknown.

Background: Chronic kidney disease(CKD) is one of the most prevalent non-communicable health concerns in children and adolescents worldwide; however, data on its incidence, prevalence, disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) and trends in the population are limited. We aimed to assess the global, regional and national trends in CKD burden in children and adolescents.

Methods: In this trend analysis based on the 2019 Global Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study, CKD incidence, prevalence and DALYs rates per 100 000 population for children and adolescents were reported at the global, regional and national levels, as well as the average annual percentage change (AAPC).

Article Synopsis
  • Most dialysis patients experience significant physical and emotional symptoms, but the severity varies with the length of time on dialysis (dialysis vintage).
  • A study was conducted with 146 hemodialysis patients to assess their symptoms using the Dialysis Symptom Index (DSI), revealing that those with more than 12 months on dialysis reported more severe symptoms than those with less.
  • Key findings showed that fatigue and sleep problems were common in both groups, and longer dialysis vintage was linked to lower hemoglobin and iron levels, indicating the need for more research on symptom management in chronic kidney disease patients.

Background: This study applied machine learning (ML) algorithms to construct a model for predicting EN initiation for patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) and identifying populations in need of EN at an early stage.

Methods: This study collected patient information from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV database. All patients enrolled were split randomly into a training set and a validation set.
