Machine learning for dynamically predicting the onset of renal replacement therapy in chronic kidney disease patients using claims data [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) represents a slowly progressive disorder that can eventually require renal replacement therapy (RRT) including dialysis or renal transplantation. Early identification of patients who will require RRT (as much as 1 year in advance) improves patient outcomes, for example by allowing higher-quality vascular access for dialysis.

A Novel Protein‐Polysaccharide Oral Nanoemulsion Targeting Activated Hepatic Stellate Cells to Enhance the Therapeutic Effect of Pirfenidone on Fibrosis After Transarterial Chemoembolization for Liver Cancer

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Transarterial Chemoembolization (TACE) may aggravate liver fibrosis. In this study, a novel oral targeting nanoemulsion is fabricated to enhance the therapeutic effect of antifibrotic drug‐pirfenidone (PFD) on fibrosis after TACE. Studies have shown that PFD nanoemulsion can enhance the oral liver targeting effect of PFD, and effectively improve the ...

Living Microalgae‐Based Magnetic Microrobots for Calcium Overload and Photodynamic Synergetic Cancer Therapy

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A magnetic microrobot fabricated by Spirulina platensis is proposed to accumulate in tumor regions and generate in situ high calcium concentration and sufficient oxygen. These characteristics of the microrobot present a strategy for triggering calcium overload therapy and chlorophyll‐mediated photodynamic therapy, and such combination resulted in a ...

Relationship between early proteinuria and long term outcome of kidney transplanted patients from different decades of donor age

BMC Nephrology, 2019
Background Proteinuria after kidney transplantation portends a worse graft survival. However the magnitude of proteinuria related to patient and graft survival and its correlation with donor and recipient characteristics are poorly explored. Methods This

Glucocorticoid resistance syndrome: let’s give it a thought

African Journal of Urology, 2021
Background Generalized glucocorticoid resistance syndrome has a tremendously heterogenous and very broad clinical spectrum. This syndrome is caused by loss of glucocorticoid receptor (GR) function due to mutation leading impairment in GR signalling.

An Empirical Biomarker-based Calculator for Autosomal Recessive Polycystic Kidney Disease - The Nieto-Narayan Formula [PDF]

, 2016
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 ...

Circulating chemokine ligand levels before and after successful kidney transplantation

Journal of Inflammation, 2016
Background Chemokine ligands (CCLs) play a pivotal role in tissue injury before and after kidney transplantation. Meanwhile, transplantation improves patient’s survival and diminishes morbidity.

Enhancing Form Stability: Shrink‐Resistant Hydrogels Made of Interpenetrating Networks of Recombinant Spider Silk and Collagen‐I

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A shrinkage‐resistant hydrogel is developed to confer post‐fabrication shape fidelity. The hydrogel, based on recombinant spider silk protein eADF4(C16)‐RGD and collagen‐I, exhibits tunable mechanical properties and shrink‐resistance in the presence of fibroblasts as well as muscle cells.

Renal association clinical practice guideline in post-operative care in the kidney transplant recipient

BMC Nephrology, 2017
These guidelines cover the care of patients from the period following kidney transplantation until the transplant is no longer working or the patient dies. During the early phase prevention of acute rejection and infection are the priority.
