Hepatitis C virus (HCV) has emerged as a major global health concern and, if left untreated, can lead to significant liver damage, including cirrhosis, decompensated liver disease, and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Approximately 40% of patients with HCV infection experience extrahepatic manifestations, including renal involvement. HCV-related renal disease is of significant importance among patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), leading to higher morbidity and mortality.

Objective: To assess accuracy of self-reported stone events in a large clinical trial by adjudication against the weight of documentation for spontaneous stone passage or surgical intervention.
Methods: Participants in the Prevention of Urinary Stones with Hydration (PUSH) trial were randomized to a multi-component behavioral intervention or control arm to increase and maintain high fluid intake. The primary endpoint was urinary stone events including symptomatic stone passage or procedural intervention.

Background: The need to expand the pool of available organs for transplantation has meant that the use of marginal organs is increasingly widespread. The advent of antiviral therapy for hepatitis C virus (HCV) has made it possible to consider the donation of organs from HCV-positive donors and even from viremic donors.
Methods: In HCV-positive to HCV-negative antibody donor transplantation, the development of antibodies to HCV is uneven, depending on the organ transplanted and with differences in the time of appearance.
Key Points: Hemodialysis clinic social networks spread attitudes and behaviors toward kidney transplants. Identifying and characterizing influential patients is a first step in future hemodialysis clinic social network interventions to promote kidney transplantation.
Background: Hemodialysis clinics help develop patient social networks that may spread kidney transplant (KT) attitudes and behaviors.

Description: The Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) 2022 clinical practice guideline on prevention, diagnosis, evaluation, and treatment of hepatitis C in chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an update of the 2018 guideline from KDIGO.
Methods: The KDIGO Work Group (WG) updated the guideline, which included reviewing and grading new evidence that was identified and summarized. As in the previous guideline, the WG used the GRADE (Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation) approach to appraise evidence and rate the strength of recommendations and used expert judgment to develop recommendations.
