Metabolic Syndrome Post-Prostatectomy Ups Prostate Cancer Death Risk
The risks for metastasis, biochemical recurrence, and overall mortality are unaffected, according to investigators.
Metabolic Disorders
Liraglutide Reduces Visceral Fat in Overweight, Obese Adults
Liraglutide plus diet and physical activity counseling reduce visceral and ectopic fat in overweight, obese adults at high risk for CVD
The Potential Dangers of Ketogenic Diets in Kidney Disease
A recent review underscores the possible adverse effects of ketogenic diets, including increased risks for heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and kidney stones.
Metabolic Syndrome Ups Major Cardiovascular, Death Risks in CKD
Avoiding even 1 metabolic syndrome component might decrease the risk for a cardiovascular event or premature death, investigators suggest.
Metabolic Syndrome Linked to Increased Risk for Stroke Recurrence
Low levels of HDL cholesterol and having 2 or more components of metabolic syndrome predict recurrence
Major Cardiovascular Events Linked to Metabolic Acidosis
Cardiovascular events are the leading cause of death among patients with chronic kidney disease, and metabolic acidosis in this population is underdiagnosed.
Sodium Bicarbonate May Mitigate Calcium Phosphate Stone Risk in CKD
Oral sodium bicarbonate therapy given to patients with chronic kidney disease increases urinary pH but also increases urinary citrate levels, which may mitigate the risk for calcium phosphate stone formation.
Low Bicarbonate in Kidney Transplant Recipients Predicts Graft Failure
Each 1 mEq/L increase in serum bicarbonate in kidney transplant recipients is associated with a 10% reduction in graft failure risk, a study found.
Lower Bicarbonate in ADPKD Linked to Worsening Kidney Outcomes
A study of patients with ADPKD found that each 1 mmol/L decrease in serum bicarbonate was significantly associated with a 21% increased risk for worsening kidney function.
Metabolic Acidosis Ups Risk of CKD Progression to Renal Replacement Therapy
Metabolic acidosis in patients with chronic kidney disease increases their likelihood of requiring dialysis or a kidney transplant, a study found.
