Background: Having a first- or second-degree relative with chronic kidney disease (CKD) has been reported as a risk factor for CKD development. The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence of CKD in children with a first- or second-degree relative undergoing renal replacement therapy (hemodialysis or renal transplant).
Methods: A screening study was performed in asymptomatic children with a family history of CKD in a first- or second-degree relative undergoing renal replacement therapy. Informed consent was obtained in all cases. A clinical examination was performed. Blood and urine samples were obtained for serum creatinine, serum electrolytes, urinalysis, and microalbumin/creatinine ratio.
Results: There were 45 subjects included with a median age of 9.6 years; 24 (53%) were male. Urinary abnormality/CKD was observed in 11 subjects (24.4%). The most common urinary abnormalities were hematuria (6/11) and microalbuminuria (4/11). Stage 2 CKD was found in seven subjects and four subjects with stage 1 CKD.
Conclusions: The study of families of patients undergoing renal replacement therapy is useful to identify children in early stages of kidney disease.

Rationale: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a clinical syndrome associated with a multitude of conditions. Although renal replacement therapy (RRT) remains the cornerstone of treatment for advanced AKI, its implementation can potentially pose risks and may not be readily accessible across all healthcare settings and regions. Elevated lactate levels are implicated in sepsis-induced AKI; however, it remains unclear whether increased lactate directly induces AKI or elucidates the underlying mechanisms.

BACKGROUND Extracorporeal blood purification strategies were recently developed as adjunctive treatments for sepsis. CytoSorb® is an approved medical device designed to reduce blood levels of inflammatory cytokines. The oXiris high-adsorption membrane filter is used in continuous hemofiltration adsorption.

Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, patients with SAE from the MIMIC-IV database were included. Group-based trajectory modeling (GBTM) was used to categorize distinct patterns of serum osmolality changes over 72 h in ICU patients.
Survival in patients with CKD 3-5 after 12 months of exercise training - a post-hoc analysis of the RENEXC trial.

Background: Physical performance is low and physical activity declines in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Both factors are associated with decreased survival. Our hypothesis was that improved physical performance after 12 months of exercise training would result in better survival in patients with CKD stages 3 to 5 not on kidney replacement therapy (KRT).
