Renal function assessment in older people: comparative analysis of estimation equation with serum creatinine.
Front Med (Lausanne)

Introduction: Age-related changes occurring in the kidney can lead to a reduction in Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR); especially in older adults with multimorbidity and/or frailty, an accurate evaluation of kidney function is critical. For the estimation of GFR in patients over 70 years, CKD-EPI (Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration) is often used. However, validated equations exist for old-age populations like BIS1 (Berlin Initiative Study 1) and FAS (Full Age Spectrum).

Purpose: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is classified into paroxysmal, persistent, long-term persistent, and permanent types. It is commonly treated by radiofrequency ablation (RFA), which is more successful than conventional anti-arrhythmic drugs, but it is still largely unknown whether these beneficial effects are equally present for all AF types. Here, we evaluated the impact that AF type has on post-RFA patient conditions and identified underlying factors affecting AF prognoses.

Article Synopsis
- Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major concern for individuals with HIV, even those receiving antiretroviral therapy (HAART), prompting a study to compare CKD prevalence in HAART-naïve versus HAART-experienced patients.
- The study, conducted at Mizan Tepi University, involved 250 participants and measured various health metrics to assess frequency and factors related to CKD.
- Results showed a 36.4% overall prevalence of CKD, with higher rates in HAART-experienced individuals (39.2%) compared to HAART-naïve individuals (33.6%), and identified male sex as a key factor linked to increased risk of CKD.
Association between chronic kidney disease and cardiovascular disease risk factors in elderly: results from the first phase of Fasa and Shahedieh cohort studies.

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with increased cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors and morbidity in the elderly population. This study aimed to examine the association between CKD and CVD risk factors in the elderly population of Fasa and Yazd (Shahdieh), Iran, using the data from the enrolment phase of Fasa and Shahedieh cohort studies.
Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional analytical study using data from Fasa and Shahedieh cohort studies, which enrolled 1487 and 1507 participants aged over 60 years, respectively.
Exploring Platelet Indices as Predictors of Nephropathy Severity in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Hospital-Based Cross-Sectional Analysis.

Background Increased platelet activity in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) plays a key role in the development of vascular complications. Platelet indices such as mean platelet volume (MPV), platelet distribution width (PDW), platelet large cell ratio (PLCR), and plateletcrit (PCT) reflect both the functional and morphological status of platelets. These indices are markers of inflammation and metabolic dysregulation, which are pivotal in diabetic vasculopathy.
