Background: Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) with venous tumor thrombus (VTT) is great burden over world. Radical nephrectomy (RN) with thrombectomy seems to be its gold standard operation, which might cause reduction of renal function. The aim of this systematic review was to provide evidence about the incidence, risk factors, possible reasons and influence of renal insufficiency in RCC patients undergoing RN with thrombectomy.

Methods: A systematic search using PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library and European Urology databases was conducted. Study selection followed the PRISMA guidelines. After screening, eleven articles and abstracted fully compatible with the PICOS were included in this systematic review. The study was registered with PROSPERO, CRD42024516596.

Results: Overall, a total of 1,668 patients who were diagnosed with RCC and VTT and underwent RN (open/laparoscopic/robotic) with thrombectomy were analyzed. The postoperative renal insufficiency was present from 0.7 to 53.9%. Relevant risk factors of postoperative renal insufficiency could be summarized into three aspects: baseline characteristics (male gender, tumor thrombus level), intraoperative procedure (surgical method and inferior vena cava clamping time) and other factors (development of the times). The reason of renal insufficiency could be depletion of circulation volume, alteration in renal hemodynamics and condition of solitary kidney. The overall survival (OS) ranged from 2 months to 98 months. A clear association between survival and renal function could not be established because of the oncological risk on survival. Necessary managements like supplying blood volume, diuretic therapy and renal replacement therapy should be applied.

Conclusions: The present incidence of postoperative renal insufficiency was underestimated. More possible risk factors should be explored. Large cohort, multi-center, prospective, and well-designed studies would be necessary to corroborate these results and provide high-grade recommendation for clinical practice.

Objective: This study aims to investigate the predictive value of early neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels for relapse and adverse prognosis within one year in children diagnosed with steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome (SSNS).

Methods: This study included a total of 145 pediatric patients diagnosed with steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome (SSNS) between January 2016 and December 2021. We collected early neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels, along with relevant clinical data, and conducted a one-year follow-up of the patients.

Dialysis/renal insufficiency patients are often accompanied by hypothyroidism due to renal damage, the mechanisms of which are complex. The use of thyroid hormone replacement therapy in such patients has become an important clinical issue. This article reviews the mechanism of hypothyroidism in dialysis/renal insufficiency patients and describes the importance and precautions of thyroid hormone replacement therapy to provide a reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Kidney donation is a safe procedure for carefully screened donors. The growing shortage of organs and improved survival rates among recipients of living donor transplants have broadened the criteria for acceptable living donors, including older individuals and those with pre-existing health conditions. Consequently, ensuring both the short- and long-term safety of living donors is of paramount importance.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a leading condition in terms of prevalence and overall health impact. With the increased life expectancy of the CKD population and the improvement in medical care, controlling musculoskeletal complications remains a tough challenge. Patients with CKD are prone to falls, fractures and sarcopenia, enhancing the risk of death.

Background/objectives: Whole-food plant-based diets (WFPBDs) are beneficial in managing hypertension in the general population but have not been well studied in chronic kidney disease (CKD), potentially due to concerns about hyperkalemia. We hypothesized that individuals with CKD 3 or 4 attending a 15-day WFPBD education program would achieve lower blood pressure compared to those who did not, without an increased risk of hyperkalemia.

Methods: This was a pilot trial of 40 subjects with mild-to-moderate CKD and hypertension but without diabetes or proteinuria from a single academic center.
