Hydroxychloroquine Associated with Lower Glomerular Filtration Rate Decline in Lupus Nephritis

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Background Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) protects kidney function in lupus nephritis (LN) by preventing flares, yet some cohort studies show no significant benefit in kidney function with HCQ. Clarifying these conflicting findings by showing early and long‐term benefits of HCQ on kidney function preservation is critical. Therefore, we analyzed data from our

Serum uric acid levels in older adults: Associations with clinical outcomes and implications for reference intervals in those aged 70 years and over

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Objectives Reports have linked both high and low serum uric acid (SUA) levels to adverse health outcomes. This study aimed to establish a reference interval for SUA in older adults and assessed its association with clinically relevant outcomes in relatively healthy, community‐dwelling individuals aged 70 and older.

Albuminuria during treatment with angiotensin type II receptor blocker is a predictor for GFR decline among non-diabetic hypertensive CKD patients. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
BACKGROUND:Albuminuria is a predictor of disease progression in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, the ability of proteinuria parameters measured at various time periods to predict renal outcomes is unclear.

Microphysiological Glomerular Filtration Barriers: Current Insights, Innovations, and Future Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Biology, EarlyView.
The glomerular filtration barrier (GFB) is the first step of blood filtration by the kidneys. The concerning increase of kidney diseases makes the development of new models essential. In this context, microphysiological glomerular filtration barriers focus on closely reproducing the physiological architecture of the in vivo GFB: podocytes, glomerular ...

Albuminuria status and patterns of dyslipidemia among type 2 diabetes black patients managed at a tertiary health-care hospital: A Post hoc analysis

open access: yesSaudi Journal of Kidney Diseases and Transplantation, 2018
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) increases with the development of albuminuria and is related in part to dyslipidemia. The present analysis assessed lipid profile and patterns of dyslipidemia in T2DM patients according
