Age-related changes have a great influence on the regulation of water and electrolyte homeostasis in the body, which is regulated by a complex interaction of environmental factors, drinking behavior, the secretion of a number of hormones and hormone-like substances, as well as the innervation and functional state of the kidneys. It is well known that the changes that are part of physiological aging underlie fluid and electrolyte imbalances, exacerbated by the presence of age-related diseases, medications, or a number of external factors such as malnutrition, fluid intake, and the presence of dementia. This review considers literature data on the effect of normal aging on the development of pathology of the water-sodium balance, including dehydration of senile patients, hyponatremia, hypernatremia, changes in the secretion of antidiuretic hormone and the activity of elements of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system.

Hagfishes are characterized by omo- and iono-conforming nature similar to marine invertebrates. Conventionally, hagfishes had been recognized as the most primitive living vertebrate that retains plesiomorphic features. However, some of the "ancestral" features of hagfishes, such as rudimentary eyes and the lack of vertebrae, have been proven to be deceptive.

Hydration is a fundamental aspect of clinical practice and yet it is an under-researched topic, particularly in older people, leading to many areas of uncertainty. There are two types of dehydration; hypertonic, which is a water deficit, and isotonic, which is a deficit of both water and salt. Individual clinical signs and bedside tests are poor diagnostic tools, making dehydration difficult to identify.

In 2022, we celebrated the 15th anniversary of the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy (CRRT) Academy, a 2-day conference attended yearly by an international audience of over 100 nephrology, critical care, and multidisciplinary trainees and practitioners. This year, we introduce the proceedings of the UAB CRRT Academy, a yearly review of select emerging topics in the field of critical care nephrology that feature prominently in the conference. First, we review the rapidly evolving field of non-invasive hemodynamic monitoring and its potential to guide fluid removal by renal replacement therapy (RRT).

Background: Kidney transplantation is the standard treatment for end-stage renal disease. Particularly, rare and specific pathogenic infections which are asymptomatic are often difficult to diagnose, causing delayed and ineffective treatment and thus seriously affecting prognosis. () is a Gram-positive actinomycete widely found in soil, sewage, and other external environments and is present in the population as an asymptomatic pathogen.
