During the past two decades, a number of studies have tried to evaluate the clinical status of dialyzed diabetic patients and the factors that may affect their outcomes. However, only a small number of diabetic patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD) have been followed for over 5 years, which is largely because of the presence of various comorbid conditions at the start of dialysis, the coexisting, far-advanced, target-organ damage that may gradually progress during the course of dialysis and limit the long-term survival on PD. On the contrary, among renal replacement therapies, survival of diabetic patients undergoing either PD or hemodialysis (HD) is probably similar, while diabetic patients on PD and HD have a lower actuarial survival than nondiabetic counterparts. This paper reviews our experience and the literature concerning the long-term outcome of diabetic patients on PD.

Background: To investigate the effectiveness of different bariatric metabolic surgeries in improving metabolic syndrome indicators in patients.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on obese patients who underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG), laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy + jejunojejunal bypass (LSG + JJB), and laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB). Patients were categorized into groups based on their surgical procedure: LSG (N = 199), LSG + JJB (N = 242), and LRYGB (N = 288).

IL-33, a neutrophil extracellular trap-related gene involved in the progression of diabetic kidney disease.

Inflamm Res

January 2025

Department of Nephrology, First Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University, Shanghai Changhai Hospital, Shanghai, China.

Background: Chronic inflammation is well recognized as a key factor related to renal function deterioration in patients with diabetic kidney disease (DKD). Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) play an important role in amplifying inflammation. With respect to NET-related genes, the aim of this study was to explore the mechanism of DKD progression and therefore identify potential intervention targets.
