Differential Associations of Cystatin C Versus Creatinine‐Based Kidney Function With Risks of Cardiovascular Event and Mortality Among South Asian Individuals in the UK Biobank

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2023
Background South Asian individuals have increased cardiovascular disease and mortality risks. Reliance on creatinine‐ rather than cystatin C–based estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFRcys) may underestimate the cardiovascular disease risk associated

Comparing Results of Five Glomerular Filtration Rate-Estimating Equations in the Korean General Population. MDRD Study, Revised Lund-Malmö, and Three CKD-EPI Equations [PDF]

, 2016
Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is a widely used index of kidney function. Recently, new formulas such as the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equations or the Lund-Malmö equation were introduced for assessing eGFR.

A glomerulus-on-a-chip to recapitulate the human glomerular filtration barrier

Nature Communications, 2019
In this work we model the glomerular filtration barrier, the structure responsible for filtering the blood and preventing the loss of proteins, using human podocytes and glomerular endothelial cells seeded into microfluidic chips.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging–Derived Renal Oxygenation and Perfusion During Continuous, Steady‐State Angiotensin‐II Infusion in Healthy Humans

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2016
BackgroundThe role of kidney hypoxia is considered pivotal in the progression of chronic kidney disease. A widely used method to assess kidney oxygenation is blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD)–magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), but its interpretation ...

Long-term renal function and hypertension in adult survivors of childhood sarcoma [PDF]

, 2018
Aim: Little data is available on long-term renal impairment in survivors from childhood sarcoma. We investigated the prevalence of renal impairment and hypertension after very long-term follow-up in survivors who reached adulthood after treatment for ...

Elevation of Trimethylamine-N-Oxide in Chronic Kidney Disease: Contribution of Decreased Glomerular Filtration Rate

Toxins, 2019
Gut microbiota-dependent Trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO) has been reported to be strongly linked to renal function and to increased cardiovascular events in the general population and in Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) patients.

Renal Hyperfiltration and the Development of Microalbuminuria in Type 1 Diabetes [PDF]

, 2009
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to examine prospectively whether renal hyperfiltration is associated with the development of microalbuminuria in patients with type 1 diabetes, after taking into account known risk factors.
