There may be important transplant-related differences between right and left kidneys, including logistical/surgical considerations about vessel length for the right compared to the left kidney from the same donor. Because US centers choose between the right and left kidney when their recipient is ranked higher on a "match-run," we sought to determi...

On account of the high prevalence of cardiovascular disease in patients with kidney failure, clinical practice guidelines recommend regular screening for asymptomatic coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients on the kidney transplant waitlist. To date, the cost-effectiveness of such screening has not been evaluated. A Canadian-Australasian randomiz...

There is increasing appreciation of nephronophthisis (NPHP) as an autosomal recessive cause of kidney failure and earlier stages of chronic kidney disease among adults. We identified 2 families with presumed adult-diagnosed nonsyndromic NPHP and negative diagnostic genetic testing results from our Renal Genetics Clinic. Both had 2 affected siblings...

Despite optimal anticoagulation and blood pressure control, patients with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) nephropathy frequently progress to kidney failure, and recurrence after transplantation is common. The mTORC (mechanistic target of rapamycin complex) pathway was recently identified as a potential intermediate and a therapeutic target in vascu...

An elevated fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF-23) level is independently associated with adverse outcomes in populations with chronic kidney disease, but it is unknown whether FGF-23 testing can improve clinical risk prediction in individuals. Prospective cohort study. Participants in the Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort (CRIC) Study (n = 3,789). ...

Timely follow-up of abnormal laboratory results is important for high-quality care. We sought to identify risk factors, facilitators, and barriers to timely follow-up of an abnormal estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) for the diagnosis of chronic kidney disease. Mixed-methods study: retrospective electronic health record (EHR) analyses, phy...

Tick-borne illnesses are a growing problem in the United States. Human granulocytic anaplasmosis (HGA), carried by the Ixodes scapularis tick, is caused by Anaplasma phagocytophilum. While the clinical manifestations of HGA may be protean, ranging from asymptomatic infection to life-threatening multiorgan failure, renal involvement is uncommon. We ...
