Several studies conducted in patients with various stages of chronic kidney disease (CKD) have investigated the association of iron status markers, such as transferrin saturation (TSAT) and serum ferritin, with kidney outcomes. However, the associations were inconsistent and remain strongly debated. Therefore, we aimed to investigate whether TSAT and serum ferritin levels were associated with kidney outcome in such a population. In this study, 890 patients who were admitted for the evaluation of and education for CKD were prospectively followed. Primary kidney outcome was a composite of doubling of serum creatinine, end-stage kidney disease, or death due to kidney failure. Participants were divided into quartiles (Q1-Q4) according to TSAT or serum ferritin levels. During a median follow-up period of 2.8 years, kidney events occurred in 358 patients. In the multivariable Cox analyses, compared with Q3 of TSAT, the hazard ratios (95% confidence intervals) for Q1, Q2, and Q4 were 1.20 (0.87, 1.66), 1.38 (1.01, 1.87), and 1.14 (0.82, 1.59), respectively. Compared with Q2 of serum ferritin, lower and higher quartiles had a significantly increased risk for kidney outcome; hazard ratios (95% confidence intervals) for Q1, Q3, and Q4 were 1.64 (1.18, 2.27), 1.71 (1.24, 2.37), and 1.52 (1.10, 2.10), respectively. A Fine-Gray model with death before kidney events as a competing risk showed results similar to the above. In CKD, lower and higher ferritin levels were independent risk factors for kidney disease progression.

Cyclophosphamide is a key component of numerous chemotherapeutic protocols, demonstrating broad-spectrum efficacy against various malignancies and non-cancerous conditions. This review examines CPM's metabolic pathways, therapeutic applications, and its resulting organ-specific toxicities. Despite its clinical benefits in treating nephrotic syndrome, encephalomyelitis, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, and other diseases, CPM is associated with significant adverse effects on the kidneys, liver, heart, lungs, and intestines.

Background: People with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have a higher risk for progression to tuberculosis disease following infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. We produced a nationwide incidence estimate and description of tuberculosis among people with kidney failure.
Methods: We completed a cross-sectional descriptive analysis of people with a reported case of tuberculosis in the United States between 2010 and 2021.

Background: Mitochondria-driven oxidative/redox stress and inflammation play a major role in chronic kidney disease (CKD) pathophysiology. Compounds targeting mitochondrial metabolism may improve mitochondrial function, inflammation, and redox stress; however, there is limited evidence of their efficacy in CKD.
Methods: We conducted a pilot randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover trial comparing the effects of 1200 mg/day of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) or 1000 mg/day of nicotinamide riboside (NR) supplementation to placebo in 25 people with moderate-to-severe CKD (estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] <60mL/min/1.

Purpose: Decision regret following hernia repair is common, particularly for patients who experience complications. Frailty is a risk factor for complications, but whether frailty is independently associated with regret remains unknown.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the Michigan Surgical Quality Collaborative Core Optimization Hernia Registry, a representative sample of adult patients from > 70 hospitals across Michigan.

Although intraoperative magnesium sulphate administration has various advantages, its influence on the occurrence of postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) remains unclear, particularly in patients undergoing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). The steep Trendelenburg position and a high intra-abdominal pressure can render patients susceptible to AKI after surgery. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of intraoperative magnesium sulphate administration on postoperative AKI in patients who underwent RARP.
