Renin‐Angiotensin Signaling and Vascular Function: Insights into Health and Disease
ABSTRACT The renin‐angiotensin system (RAS) is an essential regulator of vascular structure and function, and dysregulation of angiotensin II (Ang II) signaling plays a critical role in the development of hypertension and associated vascular complications.

Klotho Deficiency Impairs Distal Potassium Homeostasis Through mTORC1‐Dependent Suppression of ROMK
ABSTRACT Aim Hyperkalemia is prevalent in the elderly, and underlying molecular mechanisms remain incompletely understood. We hypothesized that Klotho deficiency, a feature of aging, impairs renal potassium homeostasis and contributes to hyperkalemia. Methods Klotho heterozygous knockout (KLhet) mice, characterized by reduced Klotho levels, were used ...

A Ten Year Overview of Adrenal Vein Sampling in Croatia: Insights and Outcomes
ABSTRACT Background Adrenal vein sampling (AVS) is the gold standard for subtype differentiation in primary aldosteronism (PA), yet it remains technically demanding and resource intensive. However, data on long‐term performance, learning curves, and concordance with imaging in real‐world clinical practice are limited.

ABSTRACT Aims The association between glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonist (GLP‐1RA) use and the development of bowel obstruction/ileus remains unclear, and evidence for specific bowel obstruction/ileus subtypes remains limited. We examined the association between GLP‐1RA use and the incidence of bowel obstruction/ileus subtypes across different ...

ABSTRACT Aims Residual albuminuria remains a major clinical challenge in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and hypertension despite renin–angiotensin system inhibitor therapy. Esaxerenone, a selective nonsteroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist, reduces albuminuria; however, its effects on oxidative stress remain unclear.

Among 190 older adults who experienced AKI‐related hospitalization after SGLT2 inhibitor initiation, 31.1% were hospitalized within 30 days. In an independent single‐center cohort, sustained early eGFR decline was associated with older age and use of one or two triple‐whammy‐related drug classes.
