Use of Antihypertensive Agents and Association With Risk of Adverse Outcomes in Chronic Kidney Disease: Focus on Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitors and Angiotensin Receptor Blockers. [PDF]
Background Our objective was to determine patterns of antihypertensive agent use by stage of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and to evaluate the association between different classes of antihypertensive agents with nonrenal outcomes, especially in advanced ...

Vitamin D, a modulator of musculoskeletal health in chronic kidney disease [PDF]
The spectrum of activity of vitamin D goes beyond calcium and bone homeostasis, and growing evidence suggests that vitamin D contributes to maintain musculoskeletal health in healthy subjects as well as in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD ...

Renal handling of potassium in dogs with chronic renal insufficiency
The dynamics of potassium excretion were examined in normal dogs and dogs with chronic renal insufficiency of at least 4 weeks' duration (remnant model). All animals, in balance on diets providing 15, 50, or 100 mEq of potassium and 100 mEq of sodium, were challenged with 50 mEq of potassium chloride.

The Fe3O4/Gd@BSA‐pPB nanoprobe leverages biomimetic mineralization and targets hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) through PDGFRβ, offering superior enrichment in fibrotic regions. This targeted delivery overcomes biological barriers, enhancing both the accuracy and sensitivity of MRI imaging at early disease stages.

An Empirical Biomarker-based Calculator for Autosomal Recessive Polycystic Kidney Disease - The Nieto-Narayan Formula [PDF]
Autosomal polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) is associated with progressive enlargement of the kidneys fuelled by the formation and expansion of fluid-filled cysts. The disease is congenital and children that do not succumb to it during the neonatal period will, by age 10 years, more often than not, require nephrectomy+renal replacement therapy for ...

Label‐Free Dual‐Modal Photoacoustic/Ultrasound Localization Imaging for Studying Acute Kidney Injury
This work develops a 3D label‐free photoacoustic/super‐resolution ultrasound imaging system as a comprehensive non‐invasive tool for acute kidney injury (AKI) study. This technique visualizes the intricate structure of renal microvessels and provides critical physiological insights, including renal hemodynamics and oxygenation.

Renal Parenchymal Area and Kidney Collagen Content [PDF]
The extent of renal scarring in chronic kidney disease (CKD) can only be ascertained by highly invasive, painful and sometimes risky tissue biopsy. Interestingly, CKD-related abnormalities in kidney size can often be visualized using ultrasound. Nevertheless, not only does the ellipsoid formula used today underestimate true renal size but also the ...

This study examines the effects of Shank3 mutation on the mesoaccumbens pathway using a Shank3‐deficient rat model. The findings reveal altered social reward processing in these rats, accompanied by changes in dopaminergic and GABAergic neural activity within the ventral tegmental area (VTA) and dopamine release in the nucleus accumbense (NAc ...

Risk factors for deterioration of renal function after coronary artery bypass grafting [PDF]
Objective: Various definitions of impairment of renal function after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) are used in the literature. Depending on the definition, several risk factors are identified.
