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 ...

Renal hyperfiltration and systemic blood pressure in patients with uncomplicated type 1 diabetes mellitus. [PDF]
Patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM) and renal hyperfiltration also exhibit systemic microvascular abnormalities, including endothelial dysfunction. The effect of renal hyperfiltration on systemic blood pressure (BP) is less clear.

Microalbuminuria as Predictor of Early Glomerular Injury in Children and Adolescents with Sickle Cell Anaemia at Muhimbili National Hospital Dar es Salaam, Tanzania 2012 [PDF]
Microalbuminuria (MA) is the earliest marker of various diseases affecting the renal system. Its relevance in children and adolescents with sickle cell anaemia (SCA), who are known to be prone to renal complications, has not been fully explored in our ...

Age‐Stratified Associations of Sarcopenic Obesity With Mortality in Type 2 Diabetes
ABSTRACT Background Sarcopenic obesity, the coexistence of sarcopenia and obesity, has been linked to adverse health outcomes due to comorbidity. Evidence on the association between sarcopenic obesity and mortality among individuals with Type 2 diabetes remains limited Methods Sarcopenic obesity was defined using Japan Working Group on Sarcopenic ...

Effect of Acetazolamide on Obesity-Induced Glomerular Hyperfiltration: A Randomized Controlled Trial. [PDF]
Obesity is an important risk factor for the development of chronic kidney disease. One of the major factors involved in the pathogenesis of obesity-associated kidney disease is glomerular hyperfiltration.

Free and total insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I), IGF-binding protein-1 (IGFBP-1), and IGFBP-3 and their relationships to the presence of diabetic retinopathy and glomerular hyperfiltration in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus [PDF]
The existing literature on serum insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) levels in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) is conflicting. Free IGF-I may have greater physiological and clinical relevance than total IGF-I.

Abstract Maternally inherited diabetes and deafness (MIDD) is a mitochondrial disorder usually caused by the variant m.3243A>G in the MT‐TL1 gene. We have proposed that diabetes in MIDD arises from a combination of insulin resistance and impaired β‐cell function that is more likely to occur in the presence of high skeletal muscle heteroplasmy and ...

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 ...
