Introduction: Cardiovascular diseases are the most common causes of death in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and kidney transplant patients. This study aimed to evaluate cardiac troponins in transplant recipients and CKD patients without cardiac symptoms.
Materials And Methods: Two groups of patients (CKD and kidney transplant recipients) were evaluated for troponins T and I levels. These values were associated with renal replacement therapy and demographic and clinical characteristics of the patients.
Results: Eighty CKD patients and 80 kidney transplant recipients were studied. There was a significant difference in Troponins T and I levels were significantly higher in the CKD group than in the transplant recipients. In the CKD group, 14 patients (17.5%) had an elevated troponin T level and 8 (10.0%) had an elevated troponin I, all of whom were in stage 4 of CKD. None of the kidney transplant patients had a positive troponin. Among CKD patients, decreased glomerular filtration rate was associated with elevated troponin I level. Elevated troponin T level was significantly associated with age and decreased glomerular filtration rate. In multivariable analysis, significant associations were found between troponin T level and age, serum creatinine, and glomerular filtration rate. A significant relationship was also found between troponin I and cholesterol and glomerular filtration rate.
Conclusions: The assessment of troponin T and I in CKD and kidney transplant patients shows that in patients with CKD and without any symptoms of acute coronary syndrome, serum level of cardiac troponins increase and it is linked to serum creatinine and GFR.

Solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients now have widespread access to telehealth, but the factors influencing their satisfaction still need to be understood. This cross-sectional study explored potential contributors to telehealth satisfaction among SOT recipients, including liver, kidney, and simultaneous liver-kidney recipients. A total of 136 adult SOT recipients completed an online survey.

Objective: Brachial artery aneurysms are rare entities that have typically been associated with trauma, infection, arterio-venous fistula creation or connective tissue disorders. These aneurysms are often asymptomatic, but they can also cause local tenderness or thrombo-embolic events. Due to the very low incidence of true brachial artery aneurysms, there are no standardized guidelines on their optimal management.

Aim: This study aimed to identify the imaging feature of perinephric myxoid pseudotumor of fat (PMPF) in a large cohort.
Materials And Methods: Institutional radiology and pathology databases were queried for PMPF for the period from January 2010 to December 2023. Of the 22 identified individuals, two were excluded due to nonavailability of computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance (MR) images and five due to lack of pathological confirmation.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the prevalence and factors related to depression and anxiety among individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD) in the UK, revealing that significant portions experience these mental health issues.
- Participants completed an online survey that assessed mental health history and treatment preferences, finding that over half had a history of diagnosed depression and many preferred in-person support.
- The results indicated that certain demographics, including age and gender, as well as factors like self-efficacy and current treatment, were significantly related to the levels of depression and anxiety symptoms, but differences in symptoms were not influenced by the kidney service centers’ location or size.
