Maternal glomerular filtration rate in pregnancy and fetal size. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The relationship of maternal glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in pregnancy to fetal size needs to be better characterized as it impacts an ongoing debate about confounding effect of maternal GFR in investigations of important environmental ...

New Model for Estimating Glomerular Filtration Rate in Patients With Cancer
Purpose The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is essential for carboplatin chemotherapy dosing; however, the best method to estimate GFR in patients with cancer is unknown. We identify the most accurate and least biased method. Methods We obtained data on

Microphysiological Uremia Model Reveals Biophysical Potentiators of Vascular Dysfunction
A microfluidic platform of engineered blood vessels is developed to study the role of mechanical forces in immune cell adhesion and extravasation in uremic microenvironments. Elevated pressure increases monocyte activity, with ICAM‐1 as a key driver. Matrix density influences monocyte phenotypes, but the uremic environment consistently promoted a pro ...

Serum cystatin C in estimating glomerular filtration rate [PDF]
Using serum cystatin C in estimating glomerular filtration rate (GFR) has in recent times been recommended. A number of simple formulas for calculating GFR have been derived specifically from serum cystatin C concentrations. The purpose of this study was

Post-kidney donation glomerular filtration rate measurement and estimation
Background: Long-term consequences associated with kidney donation are controversial. Pre- and post-donation glomerular filtration rates (GFRs) are determinants of renal and cardiovascular risk weighting.

This study elucidates the critical role of Rictor in macrophage activation in acute antibody‐mediated rejection (ABMR). Rictor increases K48‐linked ubiquitination of p65 by upregulating E3 ubiquitin ligase SOCS1, inhibiting transcriptional levels of NLRP3 and inflammasome activation.

Diabetic kidney disease. new clinical and therapeutic issues. Joint position statement of the Italian Diabetes Society and the Italian Society of Nephrology on "the natural history of diabetic kidney disease and treatment of hyperglycemia in patients with type 2 diabetes and impaired renal function" [PDF]
Recent epidemiological studies have disclosed heterogeneity in diabetic kidney disease (DKD). In addition to the classical albuminuric phenotype, two new phenotypes have emerged, i.e., “nonalbuminuric renal impairment” and “progressive renal decline ...
