Timing of Renal Replacement Therapy Initiation in AKI
Evidence to date provides no clear answer as to whether early or delayed RRT is the best approach.
Diagnosis & Disease Information
AKI Predictors in PE Patients Identified
Chronic kidney disease and anemia are associated with an increased risk for acute kidney injury in patients with pulmonary embolism.
Oral ED Drugs Found to Benefit Infertile Men
Oral PDE5 inhibitors improve sperm parameters and can treat erectile dysfunction in men.
MRIs for Patients With Pacemakers
Data from MagnaSafe suggest that MRIs for patients with pacemakers/ICDs can be performed safely.
No Adverse Outcomes Following Bundling
Action taken to mitigate risks associated with ESA use and changes in payment policy did not result in a relative increase in death or major cardiovascular events.
Intensive BP Control Does Not Prevent CKD Progression
Blood pressure targets below 130/80 and below 140/90 mm Hg are associated with similar renal outcomes among non-diabetics, meta-analysis shows.
OAB Drug Mirabegron Shows Superior Patient Adherence
Treatment discontinuation rate is lower than that of traditional antimuscarinics, study finds.
Sickle Cell Trait in Blacks Increases ESRD Risk
Carriers have a 2-fold higher risk of end-stage renal disease compared with non-carriers, study finds.
Improving Nephrology Care With Point-of-Care Ultrasound
Benefits include rapid assessment of kidney size, cortical thickness, and volume status.
ESRD Renal Recovery Uptick Reported
Use of bioimpedance spectroscopy to assess volume depletion could be a factor, researchers say.
