AVF Creation Linked With Slower Decline in Kidney Function
The study findings might indicate residual kidney function preservation in advanced CKD.
End-Stage Renal Disease
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
Predictors of Kidney Failure in SLE Cases Identified
Over 20 years, 8.4% of patients with lupus developed end-stage kidney disease, a study found.
Excess Deaths Higher Among Black, Hispanic Patients With ESKD During Pandemic
Investigators say inequities in the social determinants of health likely explain the racial and ethnic disparities.
Inflammatory Bowel Disease in IgAN Linked to Increased Kidney Failure Risk
A past or present diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease elevates the risk of progression to kidney failure among patients with IgA nephropathy, according to investigators.
Parathyroidectomy for SHPT May Improve Left Ventricular Hypertrophy

Study results show that mortality among hemodialysis patients declined from 2006 to 2015 compared with the general Swedish population.
Race-Based Equation May Delay Kidney Transplant Eligibility for Black Patients
Removing the race coefficient from the CKD-EPI equation could avert a potential systematic delay in kidney transplant eligibility of a median 1.9 years for Black patients, according to investigators.
Study Finds Clues to Rapid Progression to ESKD in Lupus Nephritis
