Diabetic ESRD Linked to Elevated Fibrinogen
Patients with higher levels of serum fibrinogen have higher rates of progression.
More Rapid Decline in Kidney Function for Diagnosed Diabetes
Much steeper decline in adjusted mean eGFR for those with diagnosed diabetes versus those without.
Metformin Can Be Used Safely at Lower Levels of Renal Function
New study shows metformin is not associated with an increased risk of acidosis in patients with type 2 diabetes and an eGFR of 30 to 60 mL/min/1.73 m2.
Gestational Diabetes May Indicate Future Subclinical Renal Issues
Women who had gestational diabetes more likely to show increased eGFR levels many years postpartum
Novel Signal ID'd for Microalbuminuria in Europeans With T2DM
Genome-wide association study identified novel signal near GABRR1, which was not seen in Asians.
Study: ESRD Risk in Type 1 Diabetes Pts Has Declined
Relative risk of end-stage renal disease was 0.13 in those diagnosed in 1995-2011 versus 1965-1979.
SHPT Highly Prevalent Among Diabetic Nephropathy Patients
Nearly 86% of diabetic nephropathy patients from an Egyptian outpatient center had elevated iPTH levels.
End-Stage Renal Disease From Diabetes Declined in US
2000 to 2014 saw decrease in incidence of ESRD with diabetes listed as the primary cause.
Anemia Risk Factors in Diabetic Nephropathy Patients Identified
Proteinuria and renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors are independently associated with a significant 6-fold increased odds for anemia in patients with diabetic nephropathy.
Glycemic Control Intensity Does Not Influence ESRD, Mortality
End-stage renal disease developed in similar proportions of diabetics regardless of whether they had intensive or standard glycemic control.
Biomarkers Predict Rapid Renal Decline in Type 2 Diabetes
Biomarkers apoA4, CD5L, C1QB, and IBP3 may improve the prediction of rapid decline in renal function independently of recognized clinical risk factors in T2DM.
Liraglutide Linked With Lower Diabetic Kidney Disease Risk
Liraglutide-treated patients were 22% less likely than placebo recipients to experience a composite outcome of renal events.
Adynamic Bone Disease Prevalent in Type 2 Diabetes Patients With CKD
Almost 40% of pre-dialysis patients with stage 4-5 CKD patients and type 2 diabetes had lab results suggesting low turnover bone disease.
Low Tryptophan May Signal Diabetic Nephropathy
There was a significant association for Trp with the event of rapid decline in eGFR.
sRAGE May Increase Risk of Diabetic Nephropathy
Higher levels of sRAGE were significantly associated with incidence of DN after adjustment for duration of diabetes.
