Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major public health concern. Baseline serum uric acid (SUA) levels were independently associated with incident renal dysfunction, but whether baseline and changes in SUA produce an interactive effect on renal dysfunction remains unclear.
Methods: The subjects comprised 460 men aged 68 ± 10 (mean ± standard deviation) years and 635 women aged 68 ± 9 years from a rural village. We have found participants who underwent a similar examination 3 years later, and analyzed the relationship between baseline SUA, changes in SUA, and a 3-year follow-up renal function evaluated by estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR).
Results: A total of 93 (20.2%) men and 76 (12.0%) women had hyperuricemia (men: SUA ≥ 7.0 mg/dL and women: SUA ≥ 6.0 mg/dL) at baseline. Multiple regression analysis using changes in eGFR as objective variable, adjusted for risk factors as explanatory variables, showed that the baseline SUA and changes in SUA were linearly associated with changes in eGFR (β = -0.115, P < .001 and β = -0.431, P < .001, respectively). In both normal SUA group and hyperuricemia group, changes in SUA significantly associated with changes in eGFR (β = -0.473, P < .001 and β = -0.197, P = .009, respectively). Participants with increased SUA from normal to hyperuricemia group had greater eGFR decline over the follow-up period, and their multivariate-adjusted 3-year follow-up eGFR was significantly lower than in other groups (P < .001).
Conclusion: Our data demonstrated that baseline and longitudinal changes in SUA were independently and interactively associated with the renal function decline among community-dwelling persons.

Introduction: Arteriovenous (AV) fistula creation is the most common surgical procedure for providing vascular access for haemodialysis in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The functioning of fistula dictates the quality of dialysis and the longevity of patients. The most common circumstances that require surgical takedown of AV fistula are thrombosis and rupture.

Introduction: Acute kidney injury involves inflammation and intrinsic renal damage, and is a common complication of severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Baseline chronic kidney disease (CKD) confers an increased mortality risk. We determined the renal long-term outcomes of COVID-19 in patients with baseline CKD, and the risk factors prompting renal replacement therapy (RRT) initiation and mortality.

This study is designed to assess the effect of root extract of P. ginseng on kidney tissue injury attributed to cisplatin and its molecular mechanism involved in this process in the AKI rat model. Twenty-four male Wistar rats were randomly allocated into 4 experimental groups including: the control group, the cisplatin group, the extract 100 mg/kg group, and the extract 200 mg/kg group.

Optimal fluid strategy for laparoscopic donor nephrectomy (LDN) remains unclear. LDN has been a domain for liberal fluid management to ensure graft perfusion, but this can result in adverse outcomes due to fluid overload. We compared postoperative outcome of living kidney donors according to the intraoperative fluid management.

Sepsis is a systemic inflammatory response to infection, and its occurrence is associated with a poor prognosis in the context of multiorgan dysfunction syndrome (MODS). Although there are several animal models for the study of its etiology, the cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) model has been considered the "Gold standard" because it shows a high degree of similarity to the progression of human sepsis. Currently, it is one of the most frequently chosen options to search for therapeutic alternatives to diminish the progression and organ damage induced by sepsis.
