Machine learning for dynamically predicting the onset of renal replacement therapy in chronic kidney disease patients using claims data [PDF]
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) represents a slowly progressive disorder that can eventually require renal replacement therapy (RRT) including dialysis or renal transplantation. Early identification of patients who will require RRT (as much as 1 year in advance) improves patient outcomes, for example by allowing higher-quality vascular access for dialysis.

Background The renal risk score (RRS) is a useful tool to predict end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in patients with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV).

Early identification and active management of patients with renal impairment in primary care can improve outcomes The number of patients with end stage renal disease is growing worldwide. About 20-30 patients have some degree of renal dysfunction for each patient who needs renal replacement treatment.1 Diabetes and hypertension are the two most common

Autophagy in Immune-Related Renal Disease
Autophagy is an important biology process, central to the maintenance of biology process in both physiological and pathological situations. It is regarded as a “double-edged sword”—exerting both protective and/or detrimental effects.

Inference and Prediction Using Functional Principal Components Analysis: Application to Diabetic Kidney Disease Progression in the Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort (CRIC) Study [PDF]
Repeated longitudinal measurements are commonly used to model long-term disease progression, and timing and number of assessments per patient may vary, leading to irregularly spaced and sparse data. Longitudinal trajectories may exhibit curvilinear patterns, in which mixed linear regression methods may fail to capture true trends in the data.

Hypertension in chronic renal disease
A 32-year-old man was admitted to the Instituto Nacional de Ia Nutricion Salvador Zubiran for evaluation of chronic renal failure and severe hypertension. The patient's history included frequent episodes of pharyngitis during childhood. Five years before admission he noticed left lumbar pain, malaise, and weakness.

Our previous study demonstrated that plasma levels of complement factor H (FH) were inversely associated with the disease activity of patients with anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV).
