Introduction: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is the progressive loss of function of the nephron over a long period of time. As the glomerular filtration rate falls, it leads to subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH). This cross-sectional study is carried out to measure the frequency of SCH in CKD patients in our population.
Methods: This case-control research was undertaken at the nephrology unit of the Peoples University of Medical and Health Sciences for Women in Pakistan from March 2021 to January 2022. The research included 200 volunteers with documented evidence of CKD between the ages of 18 and 60 years. A case group of 200 people without CKD was also enlisted, matched by age, gender, and comorbidities. Data were recorded in a self-structured questionnaire and analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences® software (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY).
Results: Thyroid-stimulating hormone was significantly raised in participants with CKD (4.91 ± 1.10 mIU/L vs. 3.62 ± 0.72 mIU/L; p-value < 0.0001). A significant association between SCH and CKD was established (p-value < 0.00001).
Conclusion: Due to the positive correlation between SCH and CKD, multidisciplinary management, including a team of endocrinologists and nephrologists, is advised to keep a regular check on these patients.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a prevalent global health issue, primarily caused by glomerular dysfunction, diabetes, endovascular disorders, hypertensive nephrosclerosis, and other vascular diseases. Despite the increase in available organ sources, significant challenges remain in securing organ compatibility, prompting extensive research into creating a bio-artificial kidney free from immune rejection. In this study, a bio-engineered kidney was established using a stem cell chemoattractant within a bioreactor system; rBMSCs were used to recellularize the decellularized kidney scaffold coated with SDF-1α/AKI-CKD cytokine juice under mimic-hypoxic conditions as these chemokines and cytokines are crucial for the cell migration.

Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of home visit rehabilitation in preventing renal function decline among patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), as chronic kidney disease becomes more prevalent in aging populations.
- The study compared patients receiving home rehabilitation to those getting outpatient care, focusing on changes in kidney function and blood parameters over time.
- Results indicated that while both groups had similar kidney function levels, the home rehabilitation group experienced a significantly lower annual decline in kidney function, suggesting potential benefits of home-based rehabilitation for CKD patients.*
Effect of Dotinurad on Serum Uric Acid Concentration in Chronic Kidney Disease Patients Treated with Febuxostat.

Article Synopsis
- Febuxostat is effective for treating severe hyperuricemia in chronic kidney disease (CKD), and combining it with uricosuric agents like dotinurad may further lower uric acid levels.
- A study of 34 CKD patients showed that adding dotinurad to febuxostat increased uric acid excretion and reduced serum uric acid levels in patients with moderate kidney impairment (G3 and G4) but not in those with severe impairment (G5).
- The research highlights the need for further exploration of dotinurad's mechanisms to understand its role in managing uric acid levels in CKD patients.

Background: Renal fibrosis is a common pathway that drives the advancement of numerous kidney maladies towards end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). Suppressing renal fibrosis holds paramount clinical importance in forestalling or retarding the transition of chronic kidney diseases (CKD) to renal failure. Schisandrin A (Sch A) possesses renoprotective effect in acute kidney injury (AKI), but its effects on renal fibrosis and underlying mechanism(s) have not been studied.

Kidney function can be preserved through pharmacological interventions and nonpharmacological strategies, such as lifestyle and dietary adjustments. Among these, coffee has been linked to protective effects on kidney function. However, few studies have investigated the effect of coffee consumption on kidney function according to specific genes.
