Objective: A diagnosis of chronic kidney disease (CKD) may increase the risk for depression. The network perspective focuses on dynamic relationships among individual symptoms, which could advance our understanding of the development of depression during the transition to a diagnosis of CKD. The aim of this study was to use network analysis to examine the longitudinal associations of depressive symptoms from before to after a diagnosis of CKD.
Method: The analytic sample included 1,386 participants from the Chinese Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study. Participants were aged 45 years or older and reported a doctor's diagnosis of CKD in any wave of interviews between 2011 and 2018. Depressive symptoms were measured by the 10-item version of the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression. Cross-lagged panel network analysis was conducted to examine relationships between symptoms at three time points: prediagnosis; onset of diagnosis, and postdiagnosis).
Results: After controlling for other symptoms and covariates, feeling unable to get going and less happiness at prediagnosis were the most predictive of other symptoms at the diagnosis of CKD. Feeling effortful to do everything and depressed mood at the diagnosis of CKD were the most predictive of other symptoms at postdiagnosis.
Conclusions: Fatigue (i.e., feeling unable to get going, feeling effortful to do everything), less happiness, and depressed mood were central symptoms during the transition to a diagnosis of CKD. These findings highlight the benefits of identifying and managing these central symptoms to reduce the risk of activating other depressive symptoms.

Background: Postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) following pediatric liver transplantation (PLT) have not been comprehensively studied. This study aimed to evaluate the correlation between AKI and both 1-year CKD and mortality.
Methods: This retrospective study included 132 children aged between 3 months and 12 years who underwent PLT between 2017 and 2021.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a common clinical condition with significant health risks for patients and is widely recognised as a major public health concern. Laboratory medicine plays a crucial role in both diagnosing and managing CKD, as diagnosis and staging rely on estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and evaluating albuminuria (or proteinuria). It was evident that the laboratory assessment of CKD in Malaysia is not standardised.

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is one of the most significant drivers of the global burden of disease and an increasing public health issue. Adequate monitoring and referral of high-risk patients to nephrologists are associated with improved management of CKD. We aimed to assess nephrology referral rates, monitoring of kidney function, and factors associated with failure to refer in Germany.

Background: The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) is a widely used haematological test that indirectly measures inflammation in the body. It is influenced by various factors, including age, sex, and physiological condition. Altitude is another critical factor due to its impact on red blood cell physiology and plasma protein composition.

Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) based on different formulas is commonly used as a bedside tool to assess kidney function in children and young adults. The purpose of this study was to perform a measurement of glomerular filtration rate (mGFR) in children with chronic kidney disease (CKD) with a standard 5-point protocol using iohexol clearance and compare it to a simplified protocol for mGFR determination and to some of the most commonly used eGFR formulas. A 5-point standard protocol using iohexol clearance was used for determination of mGFR in 50 children with mild stages of CKD.
