Creatinine
Use of CKD-EPI creatinine equation led to fewer cases in Korean, US Asian patients
Use of the 2021 Chronic Kidney Disease-Epidemiology Collaboration creatinine equation led to identifying a lower rate of CKD among Korean and U.S. Asian populations, a published study shows.
Older adults with low creatinine, cystatin C-based eGFR at higher risk for poor outcomes
Older adults with low eGFR based on creatinine and cystatin C levels may be at higher risk for adverse events compared with those who have low eGFR based on creatinine level, data show.
Combined therapy effective in reducing urinary albumin creatinine ratio
AUSTIN, Texas — Results presented here showed that combining SGLT2 inhibitors and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists was effective in reducing the urinary albumin creatinine ratio in patients with type 2 diabetes.
Marker of kidney function could indicate high blood pressure risk
A slightly elevated urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio that remains within the normal range is associated with an increased prevalence of hypertension in the U.S. general population, researchers reported.
Measuring eGFR with cystatin C can strongly impact CKD staging
Measuring cystatin C-based eGFR strongly correlates with creatinine eGFR, but it can also have a significant impact on the staging of chronic kidney disease, according to data published in Kidney Medicine.
Similar kidney outcomes found between IV volume, duration after angiography
Risk of adverse kidney outcomes after angiography with IV fluid volumes of at least 1L administered in a period of 6 hours was similar to that found for higher volumes with fluid administration durations longer than 6 hours, research shows.
Speaker: Isuzinaxib effective in patients with CKD, type 2 diabetes
ORLANDO — Isuzinaxib, a pan-NOX inhibitor modulating oxidative stress by Aptabio significantly reduced urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio in patients with type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease, according to data at ASN Kidney Week.
Deceased donor recipients benefit from IV fluid therapy with balanced crystalloid solution
ORLANDO — In deceased donor kidney transplant recipients, IV fluid therapy with balanced crystalloid solution reduced delayed graft function compared with saline solution, according to a presenter at ASN Kidney Week.
Nearly half of patients with high-risk CKD do not have a nephrology visit within 1 year
Among patients with a high risk for chronic kidney disease progression, less than half attend a nephrology visit within 1 year of established risk, according to a recently published study.
Gender-affirming hormone therapy may increase serum creatinine among transgender men
Findings of this review suggest that gender-affirming hormone therapy may increase serum creatinine among transgender men but has the opposite effect among transgender women.
