Introduction: We aimed to evaluate the prognostic impact of renal insufficiency and fluctuation of glomerular filtration observed during hospitalization for heart failure (HF).

Methods: We followed 3,639 patients hospitalized for acute HF and assessed the mortality risk associated with moderate or severe renal insufficiency, either permanent or transient.

Results: After adjustment, severe renal failure defined as estimated glomerular filtration (eGFR) <30 mL/min indicates ≈60% increase in 5-year mortality risk. Similar risk also had patients with only transient decline of eGFR to this range. In contrast, we did not observe any apparent mortality risk attributable to mild/moderate renal insufficiency (eGFR 30-59.9 mL/min), regardless of whether it was transient or permanent.

Conclusion: Even transient severe renal failure during hospitalization indicates poor long-term prognosis of patients with manifested HF. In contrast, only moderate renal insufficiency observed during hospitalization has no additive long-term mortality impact.

Clinical efficacy and safety of sodium thiosulfate in the treatment of uremic pruritus: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Uremic pruritus (UP) is a debilitating condition frequently associated with chronic kidney disease, severely impairing patients' quality of life and contributing to increased mortality. Recent studies have suggested that intravenous sodium thiosulfate (STS) may offer therapeutic relief for pruritus in patients undergoing hemodialysis. To assess its effectiveness, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to explore the potential of intravenous STS in managing UP.

Objectives: To investigate the clinical sub-phenotype (SP) of pediatric acute kidney injury (AKI) and their association with clinical outcomes.

Methods: General status and initial values of laboratory markers within 24 hours after admission to the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) were recorded for children with AKI in the derivation cohort (=650) and the validation cohort (=177). In the derivation cohort, a least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression analysis was used to identify death-related indicators, and a two-step cluster analysis was employed to obtain the clinical SP of AKI.

Background: High blood pressure is a prevalent condition in patients with chronic kidney disease on hemodialysis. Adequate control of high blood pressure is essential to reducing deaths in this group. The present study aimed to observe mortality prospectively in a group of patients in hemodialysis and hemodiafiltration programs in whom the use of antihypertensives was optimized with the point-of-care dry weight (POC-DW) technique.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a global health challenge associated with lifestyle factors such as diet, alcohol, BMI, smoking, sleep, and physical activity. Metabolomics, especially nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR), offers insights into metabolic profiles' role in diseases, but more research is needed on its connection to CKD and lifestyle factors. Therefore, we utilized the latest metabolomics data from the UK Biobank to explore the relationship between plasma metabolites and lifestyle factors, as well as to investigate the associations between various factors, including lifestyle-related metabolites, and the latent phase of CKD onset.

At standard doses, direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) were associated with a reduced risk of systemic embolism and intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) when compared with warfarin, with a greater derived benefit at lower creatinine clearance (CrCl-down to 25 mL/min). Lower doses of DOACs were associated with increased overall mortality without a significant decrease in ICH and incident bleeding when compared with standard dose DOACs and warfarin, across all CrCl down to 25 mL/min..
