What Is Known And Objective: Renal impairment is unavoidable after laparoscopic radical nephrectomy (LRN) and is an important consideration for drug therapy. It is possible that the renal impairment after LRN causes adverse reactions following reduced elimination of some renally excreted drugs, such as hypoglycaemic drugs. However, there are few studies of renal function in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) in the first week after LRN. The purpose of this study was to examine whether renal impairment after LRN affected glycaemic control. We assessed pre- and postoperative renal function of DM patients and examined whether re-administration of hypoglycaemic drugs in the first week after LRN causes episodes of hypoglycaemia.
Methods: Renal carcinoma patients undergoing LRN in Nagoya University Hospital from January 2007 to December 2009 were identified in a retrospective cohort study design. Patients were divided into non-DM (n = 60) and DM (n = 14) groups.
Results And Discussion: There were significant differences in postoperative estimated glomerular filtration rate values between the non-DM and DM groups. Four of nine patients (44%) experienced hypoglycaemia induced by re-administration of hypoglycaemic drugs, namely, sulfonylureas.
What Is New And Conclusion: In the present study, we found the first evidence that renal impairment in the first week after LRN was a risk factor of hypoglycaemia. To prevent hypoglycaemia after LRN, assessment of renal function and the use of insulin therapy are important.

Corticosteroids in severe alcohol-associated hepatitis? Not so fast: A systematic review of randomized controlled trials.
Hepatology
January 2025
Department of Medicine, Internal Medicine Residency Program, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas, USA.
Background: Severe alcohol-associated hepatitis (AH) is rising in incidence with a high mortality burden. While corticosteroids are recommended for eligible patients with severe AH, no guidance exists for the timing of steroid initiation, tapering regimens, and surveillance of adverse events.
Objective: We aim to systematically review these variables and provide evidence-based recommendations for the inpatient and outpatient management of severe AH.
Combining Multifrequency Magnetic Resonance Elastography With Automatic Segmentation to Assess Renal Function in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease.
J Magn Reson Imaging
January 2025
Department of Radiology, The Fourth Clinical Medical College of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine (Shenzhen Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital), Shenzhen, China.
Background: Multifrequency MR elastography (mMRE) enables noninvasive quantification of renal stiffness in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Manual segmentation of the kidneys on mMRE is time-consuming and prone to increased interobserver variability.
Purpose: To evaluate the performance of mMRE combined with automatic segmentation in assessing CKD severity.
Pediatric Transplant Surgeons' Perspectives on Palliative Care for Children With Chronic Kidney Disease: A National Cross-Sectional Survey.

Department of Psychosocial Oncology and Palliative Care, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Boston, Massachusetts, USA.
Background: Some adult transplant surgeons consider transplant to be contraindicated in patients receiving palliative care (PC). Little is known about pediatric transplant surgeons' attitudes toward PC. We sought to ascertain pediatric kidney transplant surgeons' perspectives regarding the routine integration of PC for children with chronic kidney disease.

March 2025
Department of Emergency and Critical Care Nursing, Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Kumasi, Ghana.
Background: Kidney failure is a major health issue globally, particularly in Ghana and other low- and middle-income countries. Nurses are centrally involved in the direct care and technical operations of managing individuals with kidney failure, and they have first-hand exposure to the complexities of kidney failure management, including haemodialysis within resource-constrained settings.
Objective: This study explored the experiences of nurses who provide care to individuals with kidney failure receiving haemodialysis in Ghana.
