CKD Risk Up for Metabolically Healthy Overweight, Obese People
Risk for chronic kidney disease progressively higher in overweight and obese versus normal-weight metabolically healthy individuals
Chronic Kidney Disease
Apparent Treatment-Resistant Hypertension Common in CKD
Most patients with CKD and apparent treatment-resistant hypertension had uncontrolled resistant hypertension or refractory hypertension.
Nomogram Predicts Hyperkalemia in Patients With CKD
Patients with a high risk of hyperkalemia according to the nomogram need timely and continuous monitoring of serum potassium, the investigators stated.
Albuminuria Predicts CKD Regression
Estimated glomerular filtration rate is a less reliable predictor of CKD regression, according to investigators.
Remdesivir Safe Despite Advanced CKD, Study Finds
Remdesivir is not currently recommended for use in patients with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) less than 30 mL/min/1.73 m2.
Urate-Lowering Therapy May Be Renoprotective in Asymptomatic Hyperuricemia
Clinicians currently decide whether or not to prescribe urate-lowering therapies in patients with asymptomatic hyperuricemia.
Fenofibrate-Associated Nephrotoxicity Common in Patients With Gout
Researchers assessed the incidence and potential risk factors for the development of
fenofibrate-associated nephrotoxicity in patients with gout.
Kerendia Label Updated With CV Outcomes Data From the FIGARO-DKD Study
Finerenone reduced the incidence of the primary composite endpoint of CV death, nonfatal MI, nonfatal stroke or hospitalization for heart failure by 13%.
Chronic Kidney Disease Is a Cancer Risk Factor, Study Finds
Cancer developed in 22% of patients diagnosed with chronic kidney disease at ages 50 to 80 years, which is higher than the lifetime risk of cancer in the general population, according to investigators.
