Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) face considerable cardiorenal morbidity and mortality despite existing therapies. Recent clinical trials demonstrate the efficacy of finerenone, a novel non-steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist, in reducing adverse renal and cardiovascular outcomes. This editorial briefly reviews the evidence and its implications for clinical practice, advocating the use of finerenone in these high-risk patients in combination with currently established treatment agents.

The soluble suppression of tumorigenesis 2 protein (Soluble Suppression of Tumorigenesis 2 (sST2)) has emerged as a promising biomarker linked to cardiac remodeling and fibrosis. This study investigates Soluble Suppression of Tumorigenesis 2 (sST2)'s potential as a diagnostic and prognostic marker for chronic heart failure (CHF) and explores its clinical utility in predicting outcomes.

Purpose: Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) have been noted to face increased cancer incidence. Yet, the impact of concomitant renal dysfunction on acute outcomes following elective surgery for cancer remains to be elucidated.
Methods: All adult hospitalizations entailing elective resection for lung, esophageal, gastric, pancreatic, hepatic, or colon cancer were identified in the 2016-2020 National Inpatient Sample.

Background: To identify the prognosis of Japanese patients with collecting duct carcinoma (CDC).
Methods: We used a hospital-based cancer registry data in Japan to extract CDC cases that were diagnosed in 2013, histologically confirmed, and determined the first course of treatment. We further investigated treatment modalities and estimated overall survival (OS) by the Kaplan-Meier method.
