Purpose Of Review: Diabetic kidney disease continues to increase, and several novel therapeutic agents have been shown to slow the progression of chronic kidney disease in those with diabetes. This review summarizes more recent data on the role of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists and kidney outcomes.
Recent Findings: Posthoc analysis of cardiovascular outcome trials, as well as several retrospective studies, demonstrate benefits of GLP-1 receptor agonist therapy for chronic kidney disease progression in diabetics. Although limited randomized clinical trials evidence assessing the effects of GLP-1 receptor agonists on kidney outcomes in diabetic chronic kidney disease patients have been published, FLOW-CKD trial was halted based on interim data for efficacy, and results are awaited.
Summary: GLP-1 receptor agonism is a promising therapy for slowing the progression of diabetic chronic kidney disease. Recent studies support kidney benefits GLP-1 receptor agonists over insulin and dipeptidyl peptidase-4-inhibitors, and the FLOW-CKD trial would inform the potential benefits for reducing the need for dialysis and kidney-disease related mortality in those with kidney disease.

A novel LC-MS/MS assay for low concentrations of creatinine in sweat and saliva to validate biosensors for continuous monitoring of renal function.

Monitoring of kidney function traditionally relies on plasma creatinine concentrations, necessitating invasive blood draws. Non-invasively obtainable biofluids, such as sweat and saliva, present a patient-friendly alternative with potential for continuous monitoring. This study focusses on developing and validating a novel Liquid Chromatography- tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) assay as a reference test for measuring low creatinine concentrations in sweat and saliva.

We determined the efficacy, feasibility, and acceptability of treating prehypertension in PWH in Haiti.
Design: An unblinded randomized clinical trial (enrolled April 2021-March 2022) with 12-month follow-up.

Department of Pharmacoepidemiology, Graduate School of Medicine and Public Health, Kyoto University, Kyoto, Japan (K.K.).
Background: Dialysis patients have high rates of fracture morbidity, but evidence on optimal management strategies for osteoporosis is scarce.
Objective: To determine the risk for cardiovascular events and fracture prevention effects with denosumab compared with oral bisphosphonates in dialysis-dependent patients.
Design: An observational study that attempts to emulate a target trial.
Second Time Around: Increased Rate of Living Donation From Repeat Organ Donors.

Department of Surgery, NYU Langone, New York, New York, USA.
Introduction: Some living organ donors will decide to donate again at a later date. Evidence has indicated that this practice may have increased in recent years. We evaluated the incidence and outcomes of this practice to inform counseling of potential repeat donors.

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.
