This study explored whether lipid disorders or an elevated atherogenic index of plasma (AIP, a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases) could predict major kidney function decline. We conducted a retrospective 7-year cohort study of 3712 Chinese adults followed up between 2010 and 2017. Major kidney function decline was defined as a ≥ 30% reduction...

Introduction: Although surgery has been proven to improve the long-term survival of older adults with hip fracture, in-hospital mortality directly resulting from repair of hip fracture is undesirable. This study aimed to identify potential prognostic factors that predict in-hospital mortality risk in elderly patients following hip fracture surgery....

Estimates of glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) help assess kidney function. Estimated GFR can be used to classify patients into one of six Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) categories as recommended by the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes clinical practice guidelines; CKD1 ≥90, CKD2 60-89, CKD3a 45-59, CKD3b 30-44, CKD4 15-29 or CKD5 ≤15 mL/min/...

BACKGROUND: Monitoring is the mainstay of chronic kidney disease management in primary care; however, there is little evidence about the best way to do this. AIM: To compare the effectiveness of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) derived from serum creatinine and serum cystatin C to predict renal function decline among those with a recent ...

A major function of the kidney is to, by glomerular filtration, maintain the overall steady-state of 5-30 kDa proteins, many of which are signalling molecules. This function of the kidney has been overlooked, since predominantly low-molecular-mass substances

Many older women demonstrate an age-related accelerating rate of renal decline that is associated with increased rates of bone disease, cardiovascular disease and mortality. Population-based protein restriction has been studied principally in patients with reduced renal function. In this investigation, we examined the hypothesis of a differential e...

Background: The safe level of contrast media volume (CV) is an important modifiable risk factor for contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN). The safe limit of CV remains unclear and is limited to single-center studies. Our objective was to determine the association between the ratio of contrast volume-to-glomerular filtration (CV/GFR) and CIN in patient...

Background: Currently the global data on the glomerular filtration rate of healthy adults are insufficient, with relatively little data for other races and countries. Especially in China, there are no such figures. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we included healthy Han adults in southern China. Participants completed a lifestyle and medica...

Background: The substantial burden of kidney disease fosters interest in new ways of screening for early disease diagnosis, especially by non-invasive imaging. Increasing evidence for an association between retinal microvascular signs and kidney disease prompted us to investigate the relevant current literature on such an association systematically...

Kidney diseases can cause severe morbidity, mortality, and health burden. Determining the risk factors associated with kidney damage and deterioration has become a priority for the prevention and treatment of kidney disease. This study followed 1042 chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients with Stage 3–5 kidney disease who were treated at a public vet...
