Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) are proven to ameliorate kidney and heart failure in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D), in addition to improving glycemic controls. Canagliflozin is a SGLT2i and has proved beneficial for kidney and heart diseases in addition to decreasing the incidence of the composite outcomes of cardiovascular diseases and stroke.This paper reviews the development of canagliflozin and its effects on renal dysfunction, heart failure, and vascular diseases.Canagliflozin contributes to the inhibition of renal function, decline progression and, therefore, is effective for T2D patients with chronic kidney dysfunction and albuminuria. The Canagliflozin Cardiovascular Assessment Study (CANVAS) revealed that patients showed increased incidence of amputation via unknown mechanisms, which has not been observed in other studies that used real-world data. Moreover, canagliflozin has been proven effective for anemia-associated outcomes of chronic kidney failure. Meta-analyses have revealed that canagliflozin contributed to lower diastolic blood pressure when compared with other SGLT2is. A subanalysis of CANVAS data proved that canagliflozin reduced the risk of hemorrhagic stroke. Canagliflozin should be used for T2D patients with chronic kidney failure and/or albuminuria and those with vascular diseases, with monitoring for ulcers and/or the pulse on the lower limb.

In 2017, Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) published a Clinical Practice Guideline Update for the Diagnosis, Evaluation, Prevention, and Treatment of Chronic Kidney Disease-Mineral and Bone Disorder (CKD-MBD). Since then, new lines of evidence have been published related to evaluating disordered mineral metabolism and bone quality and turnover, identifying and inhibiting vascular calcification, targeting vitamin D levels, and regulating parathyroid hormone. For an in-depth consideration of the new insights, in October 2023, KDIGO held a Controversies Conference on CKD-MBD: Progress and Knowledge Gaps Toward Personalizing Care.

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.

Introduction: This study investigated the role of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23)/Klotho in the mortality of patients hospitalized with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), excluding those with chronic kidney disease (CKD).
Methodology: A prospective cross-sectional study was conducted from April 2021 to May 2022. Patients who tested positive for COVID-19 via polymerase chain reaction and were hospitalized, were classified into two groups (survivors and non-survivors) at the end of their hospital follow-up.
