Mashup Score: 34Peritoneal Dialysis Technique Survival: A Cohort Study - 10 day(s) ago
Reasons for transfer from peritoneal dialysis (PD) to hemodialysis (HD) remain incompletely understood. Among incident and prevalent patients receiving PD, we evaluated the association between prior treatment with HD and PD technique survival.

Mashup Score: 8Variations in Incidence and Prognosis of Stage 4 CKD Among Adults Identified Using Different Algorithms: A Population-Based Cohort Study - 14 day(s) ago
Clinical guidelines define chronic kidney disease (CKD) as abnormalities of kidney structure or function for>3 months. Assessment of the duration criterion may be implemented in different ways, potentially impacting estimates of disease incidence or prevalence in the population, individual diagnosis, and treatment decisions, especially for more severe cases. We investigated differences in incidence and prognosis of CKD stage G4 identified by 1 of 4 algorithms.

Mashup Score: 93Urine Albumin-Creatinine Ratio Variability in People With Type 2 Diabetes: Clinical and Research Implications - 20 day(s) ago
Evidence has demonstrated that albuminuria is a key diagnostic and prognostic marker of diabetic chronic kidney disease, but the impact of its day-to-day variability has not been adequately considered. This study quantified within-individual variability of albuminuria in people with type 2 diabetes to inform clinical albuminuria monitoring.

Mashup Score: 6Real-World Effectiveness of Preventive Pharmacological Therapy in Patients With Urolithiasis: A Retrospective Cohort Study - 22 day(s) ago
Data supporting the efficacy of preventive pharmacological therapy (PPT) to reduce urolithiasis recurrence are based on clinical trials with composite outcomes that incorporate imaging findings and which have uncertain clinical significance. This study sought to evaluate if the use of PPT leads to fewer symptomatic stone events.

Mashup Score: 6
Many studies have reported polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) as significant predictors of cardiovascular disease, but little is known about the relationship between PUFA levels and chronic kidney disease (CKD). This study explored this relationship among individuals with and without CKD.

Mashup Score: 62Impact of Prior Abdominal Procedures on Peritoneal Dialysis Catheter Outcomes: Findings From the North American Peritoneal Dialysis Catheter Registry - 1 month(s) ago
A history of prior abdominal procedures may influence the likelihood of referral for peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter insertion. To guide clinical decision making in this population, this study examined the association between prior abdominal procedures and outcomes in patients undergoing PD catheter insertion.
