This retrospective study explored the potential impact of renin–angiotensin system inhibitors (RASIs) on renal function during the ileostomy period in patients undergoing rectal cancer surgery. RASI use was associated with early postoperative renal impairment, and relatively slow recovery of renal function was observed until stoma closure.

ABSTRACT Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is common and a major contributor to increased morbidity and early mortality in people with sickle cell anemia (SCA). Urine albumin‐to‐creatinine ratio (uACR) is recommended to identify patients with SCA‐related CKD but its utility in predicting long‐term kidney dysfunction remains unclear in this patient ...

Decreasing Abdominal Circumference Is Associated with Improving Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) with Lifestyle Modification in Japanese Men: A Pilot Study [PDF]
The link between changes in a subject's metabolic syndrome components and his estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was evaluated in healthy Japanese men. We used data from 120 Japanese men (45.5±8.4 years) with a 1-year follow up. eGFR was defined

Objective Aneurysm wall enhancement (AWE) may predict aneurysm growth and rupture in the short‐term, but there is a lack of long‐term follow‐up studies. We aimed to determine whether unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIAs) with AWE have a higher probability of aneurysm instability during long‐term follow‐up compared with those without AWE. Methods For

Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System, Glucose Metabolism and Incident Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: MESA. [PDF]
Background Mechanistic studies suggest that aldosterone impairs glucose metabolism. We investigated the cross-sectional associations of aldosterone and plasma renin activity with fasting plasma glucose, insulin resistance ( IR ), β-cell function, and ...

Proenkephalin A 119-159 (Penkid) Is an Early Biomarker of Septic Acute Kidney Injury: The Kidney in Sepsis and Septic Shock (Kid-SSS) Study [PDF]
Introduction: Sepsis is the leading cause of acute kidney injury (AKI) in critically ill patients. The Kidney in Sepsis and Septic Shock (Kid-SSS) study evaluated the value of proenkephalin A 119-159 (penkid)—a sensitive biomarker of glomerular function,
