Background: Both renal function decline and systemic inflammation may synergistically increase the risk of atrial fibrillation (AF). This study investigates the association between estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels with the risk of new-onset AF in patients with diabetes mellitus.
Methods: We included diabetic patients without AF who participated in physical exams in the Kailuan Study from 2006 to 2010.

Background: Several studies have investigated long-term kidney outcomes in survivors of Wilms tumor (WT). However, many have small sample sizes, and there is a wide variation in reported outcomes. The aim of this study is to investigate the long-term kidney outcomes in survivors of WT (S-WT), including those patients considered to be at high risk for poor kidney outcomes, and using updated estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) equations.

Background: Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) is a genetic disorder that can cause kidney damage. Shear wave elastography (SWE), a non-invasive method, was used to evaluate the decrease in renal tissue elasticity as a predictive parameter for amyloidosis. This study aimed to examine the changes in renal elasticity in patients with FMF using the renal SWE measurement method.

Background: Accurate prediction of prognosis in transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) is crucial for optimal treatment selection, including tafamidis, the only approved therapy for ATTR-CM. Although tafamidis has been proven to improve prognosis, the long-term serial changes in comprehensive parameters related to ATTR-CM, including cardiac biomarkers and imaging parameters, under tafamidis remain unknown.
Methods And Results: In this study, we used Cox regression analysis on data from 258 consecutive patients diagnosed with ATTR-CM at Kumamoto University to determine prognostic factors.

Purpose: This was an evidence-based study to assess which creatinine-based equation was most useful for estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in Chinese adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD).
Methods: Multiple databases were searched to collect relevant studies on creatinine-based eGFR equations for Chinese adults with CKD in Chinese and English from January 2009 to January 2023, using "glomerular filtration rate", "GFR equations", "Chinese CKD", "chronic kidney disease", "equation development" and "equation validation". The quality of each study was assessed using the diagnostic test accuracy review by RevMan 5.
