Nonmedical Factors and Health-Related Quality of Life in CKD in India.
...Published in Clinical journal of the American Society of Nephrology : CJASN
Patient-reported outcomes have gained prominence in the management of chronic noncommunicable diseases. Measurement of health-related quality of life is being increasingly incorporated into medical decision making and health care delivery processes. The Indian Chronic Kidney Disease Study is a prospective cohort of participants with mild to moderat...
Recurrence of FSGS after Kidney Transplantation in Adults.
...Published in Clinical journal of the American Society of Nephrology : CJASN
FSGS recurrence after kidney transplantation is a major risk factor for graft loss. However, the natural history, clinical predictors, and response to treatment remain unclear because of small sample sizes and poor generalizability of single-center studies, and disease misclassification in registry-based studies. We therefore aimed to determine the...
Patient and Kidney Allograft Survival with National Kidney Paired Donation.
...Published in Clinical journal of the American Society of Nephrology : CJASN
In the United States, kidney paired donation networks have facilitated an increasing proportion of kidney transplants annually, but transplant outcome differences beyond 5 years between paired donation and other living donor kidney transplant recipients have not been well described. Using registry-linked data, we compared National Kidney Registry (...
The Genetic Architecture of Kidney Disease.
Published in Clinical journal of the American Society of Nephrology : CJASN
The kidney is subject to a wide range of abnormalities, many of which have a significant hereditable component. Next generation sequencing is increasingly bringing the genetic drivers of Mendelian disease into focus at the base pair level, whereas inexpensive genotyping arrays have surveyed hundreds of thousands of individuals to identify common va...

Mediterranean Style Diet and Kidney Function Loss in Kidney Transplant Recipients.
Published in Clinical journal of the American Society of Nephrology : CJASN
Despite improvement of short-term graft survival over recent years, long-term graft survival after kidney transplantation has not improved. Studies in the general population suggest the Mediterranean diet benefits kidney function preservation. We investigated whether adherence to the Mediterranean diet is associated with kidney outcomes in kidney t...
In-Hospital Cardiac Arrest Resuscitation Practices and Outcomes in Maintenance Dialysis Patients.
Published in Clinical journal of the American Society of Nephrology : CJASN
Patients on maintenance dialysis with in-hospital cardiac arrest have been reported to have worse outcomes relative to those not on dialysis; however, it is unknown if poor outcomes are related to the quality of resuscitation. Using the Get With The Guidelines-Resuscitation (GWTG-R) registry, we examined processes of care and outcomes of in-hospita...
