SGLT2 inhibitors are a family of drugs that were developed to treat diabetes mellitus. In randomized controlled trials, SGLT2 inhibitors seem to prevent kidney deterioration in patients with nephropathies, both diabetic and non-diabetic. However, in contrast to biochemical/physiological results (proteinuria and serum creatinine levels) that improve in all studies, the clinical results (all-cause mortality, cardiovascular death, need for dialysis, or renal transplant) do not consistently improve.

Background: Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a common malignancy, and nephrectomy is the mainstay of treatment for non-metastatic disease. The choice of surgery depends on the risks of oncologic recurrence, kidney function decline, and perioperative complications. This study aimed to identify factors associated with adverse post-operative outcomes in RCC patients undergoing nephrectomy at Townsville University Hospital (TUH).

Exposure to even low levels of the environmental pollutant cadmium (Cd) increases the risk of kidney damage and malfunction. The body burden of Cd at which these outcomes occur is not, however, reliably defined. Here, multiple-regression and mediation analyses were applied to data from 737 non-diabetic Thai nationals, of which 9.

Background: Sarcopenia is a common and serious problem in patients receiving peritoneal dialysis (PD). Lean tissue mass (LTM) by bioimpedance spectrometry is a reasonably accurate method for measuring muscle mass. Fat-free edema-free body mass (FEBM) as determined by the creatinine kinetics method is a traditional method but evidence to support its use is limited.

Introduction: Immunogenic cell death (ICD) is a unique cell death triggered by chemotherapy. However, studies elucidating the potential therapeutic role of ICD and the underlying mechanism in diabetic nephropathy (DN) are limited.
Methods: WGCNA was conducted on the human kidney biopsy data linked to DN, analyzing gene sets associated with ICD.
