Background: Hypothyroidism is a common endocrine disorder with a bi-directional relationship to Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), presenting a notable complication in CKD patients. This study aimed to explore the impact of hypothyroidism on kidney function in CKD patients.
Materials And Methods: This study included 150 participants, with 110 CKD patients without hypothyroidism and 40 CKD patients with hypothyroidism. The participants were further categorized into stages 3, 4, and 5 based on their estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR). They were followed for three consecutive months at intervals of 28 ± 3 days, 57 ± 3 days, and 86 ± 3 days. Clinical and demographic data, including age, gender, serum creatinine, serum urea, Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN), eGFR, and serum sodium, potassium, and chloride levels, were assessed over time. Data analysis was performed using GraphPad Prism, with a significance level set at 0.05%.
Results: In CKD patients with hypothyroidism, serum creatinine (P = 0.0002), serum urea (P = 0.0046), and BUN (P = 0.0042) levels were significantly higher, while eGFR (P < 0.0001) was lower compared to CKD patients without hypothyroidism. Potassium levels were significantly elevated in CKD patients with hypothyroidism (P = 0.0001), whereas no significant difference was observed in serum sodium (P = 0.0802) or chloride (P = 0.2089) levels.
Conclusion: This study concludes that CKD patients with hypothyroidism experience a more significant decline in kidney function compared to CKD patients without hypothyroidism.

Establishing Cross-Specialty Expert Consensus on the Optimal Management of Hyperkalemia in Patients With Heart Failure and Chronic Kidney Disease.

Background: Patients with both heart failure (HF) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are often treated with renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors (RAASi), but these drugs can cause hyperkalemia, which may lead to their reduction or discontinuation, resulting in the loss of their beneficial effects. Approaches to managing RAASi-induced hyperkalemia are discordant, so in this study we aimed to establish a cross-specialty consensus on the optimal approach to managing hyperkalemia in patients with HF and CKD.
Methods And Results: The study used a modified Delphi methodology.

Background: Prominent large language models, such as OpenAI's ChatGPT, have shown promising implementation in the field of nutrition. Special care should be taken when using ChatGPT to prescribe protein restricted diets for kidney impaired patients. The objective of the current study is to simulate a chronic kidney disease (CKD) patient and evaluate the capabilities of ChatGPT in the context of dietary prescription, with a focus on protein contents of the diet.

Objectives: The current study focuses on how abortion access affects people who are pregnant, have chronic kidney disease (CKD), and desire an abortion. From the perspective of the pregnant patient, we will examine the outcomes and costs associated with providing or refusing in-state access to abortion for this population.
Study Design: A decision-analytic model was built to compare the outcomes and costs associated with providing abortions in-state compared to those associated with a complete statewide abortion ban.

Diet is gaining traction as a major chronic kidney disease (CKD)-related risk factor for death and disability. Furthermore, a "healthy" diet in patients with CKD is associated with reduced mortality. The data to be discussed support diet as the foundational, "food integrated with pharmacologic therapy," approach to management of individuals with CKD and those at risk for it.

Diabetic nephropathy (DN), one of the most common complications of diabetes mellitus (DM), accounts for a major cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD) worldwide, with a complicated pathogenesis and limited effective strategies nowadays. The mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) is a classical ligand-activated nuclear transcription factor. It is expressed in the renal intrinsic and immune cells, especially macrophages.
