Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists are known to reduce proteinuria in chronic kidney disease, but their effectiveness in preventing bevacizumab‐related proteinuria has not been well established. In the present multi‐institutional retrospective study, we found that these agents significantly delay the onset of moderate or higher grade proteinuria ...

Patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) as well as chronic kidney disease (CKD) are high‐risk individuals, making it challenging to accurately predict their survival. We found that the PALBI grade model when combined with other patient's clinical and tumor‐related factors, forms a new and highly accurate prediction tool to estimate their ...

A Novel Diagnostic Approach for Hepatocellular Carcinoma Using Glycosylated Ferritin
The percentage of glycosylated ferritin relative to total ferritin (%GF) is a novel biomarker for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), showing diagnostic performance comparable to that of AFP and DCP. We developed the GFAD index by integrating age, sex, %GF, AFP, and DCP, achieving improved diagnostic accuracy with high sensitivity and specificity. ABSTRACT
