AI Article Synopsis

  • Chronic kidney disease significantly impacts adult health, with limited treatment options available, primarily kidney transplantation, which has drawbacks like donor shortages and high complication rates.
  • Recent studies suggest the possibility of using kidney cells from diseased kidneys to create fully functional cells, leading to a new approach called autologous selected renal cell transplantation.
  • Although clinical research on this novel therapy is still limited, there's a clear need for larger studies to better understand its effectiveness and safety in treating chronic kidney disease.

Article Abstract

Chronic kidney disease is among the most common causes of mortality and morbidity in adult population with limited therapeutic approaches including various medications and kidney replacement therapies. Kidney transplantation is the gold standard therapeutic alternative for the management of chronic kidney disease; nonetheless, important drawbacks include the lack of adequate living or deceased donors, high rates of pre- and post-operative complications including surgical complications, infectious complications and medication-induced adverse effects. With the latest preclinical and in vitro studies demonstrating the potentiality of kidney cells obtained from diseased kidneys to convert into fully functional kidney cells lead to a novel therapeutic alternative referred as autologous selected renal cell transplantation. Even though the clinical studies investigating the efficiency and adverse effects of autologous selected renal cell transplantation are limited, it is no doubt promising. The need for future large-scale studies on chronic kidney disease patients from a diversity of etiologies is clear for the better establishment of the therapeutic potential of autologous selected renal cell transplantation. In this narrative review, our aim is to evaluate the role of renal autologous stem cell therapy in the management of chronic kidney disease.

Terminological subset of ICNP® for people with chronic kidney disease on hemodialysis.

Rev Esc Enferm USP

December 2024

Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro, Faculdade de Enfermagem, Departamento de Fundamentos de Enfermagem, Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brazil.

Objectives: To construct and validate a terminological subset of the International Classification of Nursing Practice (ICNP®) for people with chronic kidney disease on hemodialysis.

Method: Methodological study developed in accordance with the recommendations of the International Council of Nurses (ICN) and the Brazilian method, in the following stages: construction of ND/NO and NI statements of the ICNP® for nursing practice for people with chronic kidney disease on hemodialysis, based on previously constructed specialized terminology and in accordance with Wanda Horta's Basic Human Needs Theory; and content validation of the statements by focus groups with specialist nurses. The Content Validity Index was used and statements ≥ 0.

Search for surrogate markers to predict end stage kidney disease in long term lithium users.

Int J Bipolar Disord

January 2025

Department of Nephrology, Jeroen Bosch Ziekenhuis, 's-Hertogenbosch, The Netherlands.

Background: A surrogate marker (a substitute indicator of the true outcome) is needed to predict subgroups of long-term lithium users at risk of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). In this narrative review the aim is to determine the optimal surrogate endpoint for ESKD in long-term lithium users in a scientific context. MAIN: In a literature search in long-term lithium users, no studies on surrogate measurements on ESKD were identified.

The discovery of the functioning of intra- and extracellular ion compartments and cell membranes' operation opened the possibility of extending Claude Bernard's theory to intracellular ions. In contrast, by underestimating the role of ions, many misconceptions have prevailed. The author points out that maintaining the constancy of carbon dioxide is especially important.

Unlabelled: Uremic leontiasis ossia (ULO) is a rare manifestation of renal osteodystrophy in) patients with end-stage chronic kidney disease (CKD) and secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPTH). It occurs due to increased osteoclastic activity secondary to high plasmatic parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels. This leads to bone deformation with thickening and massive enlargement of the cranial vault, resulting in a leonine face appearance.

Early recognition of acute kidney injury is essential to prevent progression to chronic kidney disease. We present the case of a 19-year-old man with multiple emergency department visits for fatigue, abdominal pain, and intermittent dark urine. Upon admission, he had pancytopenia with elements suggestive of hemolysis and acute kidney injury.
