Mashup Score: 7
People with diabetes who are receiving dialysis for kidney failure are at high risk of cardiovascular disease and death. This study uses information from 1446 people from seven European countries who have kidney failure, are receiving dialysis, have type 2 diabetes, and are prescribed either insulin identical to that made in the body (human insulin) or insulins with engineered extra features (insulin analog). After three years, fewer participants receiving analog insulins had died, had been admitted to the hospital, or had a cardiovascular event (heart attack, stroke, heart failure or peripheral vascular disease). These findings suggest that analog insulins should be further explored as treatment leading to better outcomes for people with diabetes on dialysis.

Mashup Score: 30AJKD Atlas of Renal Pathology: Acute Pyelonephritis - 1 day(s) ago
Acute uncomplicated pyelonephritis is most commonly due to bacterial infection ascending from the lower urinary tract, and occurs more often in young adult women, 15 to 29 years old, who are sexually active; this is on account of the shorter urethra in women and its potential contamination with intestinal bacteria. As discussed in the following, complicated acute pyelonephritis has predisposing findings. The incidence is estimated to be 15 to 17 cases per 10,000 women, contrasting 3 to 4 cases per 10,000 men.

Mashup Score: 34Peritoneal Dialysis Technique Survival: A Cohort Study - 3 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: 45Precision Medicine in Nephrology: An Integrative Framework of Multidimensional Data in the Kidney Precision Medicine Project - 3 day(s) ago
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and acute kidney injury (AKI) are heterogeneous syndromes defined clinically by serial measures of kidney function. Each condition possesses strong histopathologic associations, including glomerular obsolescence or acute tubular necrosis, respectively. Despite such characterization, there remains wide variation in patient outcomes and treatment responses. Precision medicine efforts, as exemplified by the Kidney Precision Medicine Project (KPMP), have begun to establish evolving, spatially anchored, cellular and molecular atlases of the cell types, states, and niches of the kidney in health and disease.

Mashup Score: 9Association of Blood Mitochondrial DNA Copy Number With Risk of Acute Kidney Injury After Cardiac Surgery - 4 day(s) ago
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication of cardiac surgery and its occurrence is associated with increased risk of all-cause mortality, adverse cardiovascular outcomes, and chronic kidney disease (CKD).1 Mitochondria are essential for healthy function of the kidneys due to their roles in oxidative phosphorylation, reactive oxygen species generation, and programmed cell death.2 Experimental evidence suggests that mitochondrial dysfunction is a key contributor to the pathophysiology of acute kidney injury (AKI) and that replenishment of mitochondrial stores is necessary for recovery from AKI,3-5 but limited data exist in humans.

Mashup Score: 12Tunneled Hemodialysis Catheter Tip Design and Risk of Catheter Dysfunction: An Australian Nationwide Cohort Study - 4 day(s) ago
Hemodialysis catheter dysfunction is an important problem for patients with kidney failure. The optimal design of the tunneled catheter tip is unknown. This study evaluated the association of catheter tip design with the duration of catheter function.
