Disease-Free Survival Predicts Overall Survival After First Nephrectomy
In landmark analyses, patients with recurrence by each landmark point had shorter subsequent OS compared with those who did not have recurrence.
Diagnosis & Disease Information
Radiation Therapy for Oligometastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma Promising
Serial radiation therapy could provide an alternative to standard-of-care systemic therapy.
Predictors of AKI Related to Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Use Identified
Lower baseline kidney function and proton pump inhibitor use increased the risk for acute kidney injury associated with immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy.
CKD Progression Linked to Higher Oxalate Levels
Data suggest that higher oxalate levels increase the risk for incident CKD.
Disease-Free Survival Predicts Overall Survival in Localized Renal Cell Carcinoma After First Nephrectomy
Investigators assessed the association between DFS and OS in patients with newly diagnosed, completely resected, intermediate-high or high-risk RCC post-nephrectomy.
Early Dialysis Initiation Associated With Increased Death Risk
In a study of patients with advanced CKD, those who transitioned to dialysis early had worse survival compared with those managed conservatively.
The Importance of Equity in Addressing Disparities in Health Care
Equality assures that everyone receives the same thing, but equity assures that everyone gets what they need.
Time to End Structural Racism in Kidney Health
There is now little doubt that both the MDRD and CKD-EPI kidney function equations have contributed to structural racism in medicine and public health.
Greater Coffee Consumption Tied to Lower Kidney Stone Risk
Genetic evidence suggests a causal relationship in previously observed associations between higher coffee and caffeine consumption and kidney stone risk.
