In Vivo Renal Clearance, Biodistribution, Toxicity of Gold nanoclusters [PDF]
Zhang et al,Biomaterials 33 (2012) 4628e4638, 2012 Gold nanoparticles have shown great prospective in cancer diagnosis and therapy, but they can not be metabolized and prefer to accumulate in liver and spleen due to their large size. The gold nanoclusters with small size can penetrate kidney tissue and have promise to decrease in vivo toxicity by renal clearance.

On Estimation and Cross-validation of Dynamic Treatment Regimes with Competing Risks [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 The optimal moment to start renal replacement therapy in a patient with acute kidney injury (AKI) remains a challenging problem in intensive care nephrology. Multiple randomised controlled trials have tried to answer this question, but these can, by definition, only analyse a limited number of treatment initiation strategies.
