The paper by Jardine . reporting results from the South African Renal Registry describes a 2-fold success. First, even in a limited-resource environment, survival of patients on renal replacement therapy (RRT) is favourable. Secondly, this information is available because a few years ago, South African nephrologists started a renal registry. These successes cannot conceal, however, that numerous patients are not offered RRT. Robust health information systems make it possible to define chronic kidney disease and end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) burdens, guide resource allocation, inform service planning and enable policy. Registries can highlight inequitable RRT access and help support advocacy in favour of additional resources for ESKD care.

The physiology of the kidney has long been understood, and its mechanisms are well described. The pathology of renal failure is also a deeply researched area. It seems logical, therefore, to create devices that can replace the lost normal function of the kidney.

Postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients undergoing heart valve surgery is a common complication requiring special treatment, including renal replacement therapy (RRT). Effective prevention remains the most effective tool to reduce this important clinical problem. The aim of the study was to evaluate the predictive abilities of selected perioperative parameters in predicting AKI requiring RRT in the early postoperative period in patients undergoing cardiac valve surgery.

: Renal replacement therapy with an oXiris hemofilter may be helpful for patients with acute kidney injury in conjunction with sepsis and septic shock. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of an oXiris membrane on septic shock patients. : All renal replacement therapies with oXiris (Baxter, Deerfield, IL, USA) performed between January 2018 and August 2021 were retrospectively analyzed.

Background: Despite extensive research on proteinuria's impact on chronic kidney disease progression, there is no direct comparison of outcomes in biopsy-diagnosed glomerular disease (GD) patients with nephrotic syndrome (NS) or nephrotic range proteinuria (NRP). Our study addresses this gap, comparing long-term outcomes between NS and NRP.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective study on 240 kidney biopsy-proven GD patients, tracked from 2010 to 2015 until end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), death, or the study end in January 2022.

The addition of ketoanalogues (KAs) to a low-protein diet has been shown to mitigate the progression of pre-dialysis chronic kidney disease (CKD). The addition of inulin and calcium citrate may add further benefits, given their nephroprotective effects. In this study, we tested the changes in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), CKD symptoms, body composition, and biochemical parameters after 6 months of diet supplementation with Cetolán III, a combination of KA, inulin, and calcium citrate.
