Background: The Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2021 provides a comprehensive assessment of health and risk factor trends at global, regional, national, and subnational levels. This study aims to examine the burden of diseases, injuries, and risk factors in the USA and highlight the disparities in health outcomes across different states.
Methods: GBD 2021 analysed trends in mortality, morbidity, and disability for 371 diseases and injuries and 88 risk factors in the USA between 1990 and 2021.

This report represents the conclusions of 15 experts in nephrology and endocrinology, based on their knowledge of key studies and evidence in the field, on the role of continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) in patients with diabetes and chronic kidney disease (CKD), including those receiving dialysis. The experts discussed issues related to CGM accuracy, indications, education, clinical outcomes, quality of life, research gaps, and barriers to dissemination. Three main goals of management for patients with CKD and diabetes were identified: (1) greater use of CGMs for better glycemic monitoring and management, (2) further research evaluating the accuracy, feasibility, outcomes, and potential value of CGMs in patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) on hemodialysis, and (3) equitable access to CGM technology for patients with CKD.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly being used to diagnose complications of diabetes. Artificial intelligence is technology that enables computers and machines to simulate human intelligence and solve complicated problems. In this article, we address current and likely future applications for AI to be applied to diabetes and its complications, including pharmacoadherence to therapy, diagnosis of hypoglycemia, diabetic eye disease, diabetic kidney diseases, diabetic neuropathy, diabetic foot ulcers, and heart failure in diabetes.

A fluorescence (FL)-based nanosensor has been devised for creatinine (CR) detection in human urine specimens. The proposed nanosensor utilized a nanocomposite (NC) of carbon dots (CDs) and graphene oxide (GO). The formation of CDs/GO NC reduced the CD FL emission (λ = 390 nm, λ = 461 nm) by ~ 75%.

Chronic kidney disease is globally recognized as a highly impactful non-communicable disease. The inability of early identification contributes to its high mortality rate and financial burden on affected individuals. Chronic kidney disease of uncertain etiology (CKDu) constitutes a significant global public health concern.
