Preemptive Therapy May Stop FSGS Recurrence in Kidney Transplant Recipients
Investigators report encouraging results from a small observational study testing the effect of preemptive therapeutic plasma exchange and rituximab in kidney transplant recipients whose primary cause of kidney failure was focal segmental glomerulosclerosis.
ADPKD Progression to End-Stage Kidney Disease Varies by Race/Ethnicity
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease progresses to kidney failure faster in Hispanic patients than in those of other races or ethnicities, a study found.
Study: Roxadustat Effectively Treats Anemia Across CKD Stages
Roxadustat reduced the need for rescue therapy among patients with any stage of chronic kidney disease.
Antibody Response to COVID-19 Vaccine Lower in Hemodialysis Population
Age was an important factor in the humoral response, regardless of chronic medical conditions.
Rapid Weight Change Linked With Adverse Outcomes in Predialysis CKD
Monitoring weight changes and intervening early in patients with CKD, especially those in advanced stages, are warranted, according to investigators.
End-Stage Kidney Disease Risk Varies by Vascular Disease Location
In patients with cardiovascular disease, those with polyvascular disease are the most likely to progress to end-stage kidney disease, a study found.
Zinc Deficiency May Up Infection-Related Hospitalizations in Advanced CKD
Nearly 80% of patients in a recent study had very low serum zinc values, which raises concern for the advanced CKD population at large, according to investigators.
AVF Creation Linked With Slower Decline in Kidney Function
The study findings might indicate residual kidney function preservation in advanced CKD.
Time From eGFR Wait-List Threshold to ESKD Shorter in Blacks
Registering Blacks on transplant wait list at eGFR of 24 to 25 mL/min/1.73 m2 could improve racial equity in wait time prior to ESKD onset
