CKD Hospitalization Patterns May Predict ESKD, Death Risks
Three simple hospitalization trajectories may identify individuals with CKD who are at high risk for kidney failure and early mortality, according to investigators.
Primary Nephrotic Syndrome Increases ESKD, Cardiovascular Risks
Among the study findings, primary nephrotic syndrome was associated with an excess risk of heart failure hospitalization.
Many Priority Patients Fail To Be Placed on Kidney Transplant Waitlist
Delays in waitlisting can result in some patients losing their priority status for high-quality deceased donor kidneys with the lowest risk of failure.
Third COVID-19 Vaccine Dose Shows Variable Efficacy in Solid Organ Transplant Recipients

Excess Deaths Estimated for ESRD Patients During COVID-19
Excess deaths estimated at 8.7 to 12.9 per 1000 ESRD patients, representing a total of 6953 to 10,316 excess deaths
COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine Efficacy Weaker in Kidney Transplant Recipients
Findings support COVID-19 vaccination of patients on dialysis but suggest that a shift in vaccine strategy for kidney transplant recipients may be warranted.
Profit Status May Affect Transplant Referrals at Dialysis Centers
A study of patients who initiated dialysis in the Southeast United States found that those receiving care at for-profit facilities were 16% less likely to receive a kidney transplant referral than patients at non-profit facilities.
IL-6 Levels Linked With Progression of Diabetic Kidney Disease
In a small trial, patients with the highest tertile of IL-6 experienced significantly faster progression of diabetic kidney disease.
