...Jie Sun; Ying Qi; Yan Wang; Wenxin Wang; Pengpeng Meng; Changjin Han; Bing Chen Background: This study aimed to assess the prognostic significance of serum ferritin levels in sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (SA-AKI) and their correlation with short-term mortality. Despite the established...

... kidney disease in CKD patients. Nonetheless, a debate persists regarding the impact of RAS inhibitors on outcomes such as mortality and graft survival in renal transplant patients. To assess the effect of RAS inhibitors on graft recipients in the past decade, we conducted a systematic review and meta...

However...

... in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients. The objective of this work was to investigate whether self-reported fatigue can serve as an independent prognostic indicator for mortality in MHD patients. Methods: The data are from 233 adult patients enrolled in the cohort “The Prospective Study of the Prognosis...

... in Korea from 2006–2021. The patients were divided into quartiles according to CAR levels at the time of CRRT initiation. Cox regression analyses were performed to investigate the effect of CAR on in-hospital mortality. The mortality prediction performance of CAR was evaluated using the area under...

...Michael Abel Alao; Olayinka Rasheed Ibrahim; Adebowale Dele Ademola; Adanze Onyenunachi Asinobi Introduction: Despite being a leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally, acute kidney injury (AKI) is worse in resource-limited areas. This study explores AKI incidence, inhospital mortality...

... age groups to explore age-dependent influences on the risk of ESKD and all-cause mortality. Multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression model with competing risk analysis was used to identify predictors of outcomes. Results: During a median follow-up of 2.68 years, 1,650 (27.0%) patients developed...

... Arizaga-Nápoles; Frida M. De la Vega-Méndez; Guillermo Navarro-Blackaller; Ramón Medina-González; Margarita Ibarra-Hernández; Guillermo García-García Background: The association between potassium (sK) level trajectory and mortality or the need for kidney replacement therapy (KRT) during acute kidney...

.... Colorectal, stomach, lung, liver, and kidney cancers were diagnosed earlier in dialysis patients, whereas bladder cancer was diagnosed at an advanced stage. The Cox proportional hazards models revealed that mortality was significantly higher in dialysis patients with colorectal, stomach, lung, and bladder...

... before and during CRRT with mortality. Methods: This is a historical cohort study of 1,520 critically ill patients receiving CRRT from December 2006 through November 2015 in a tertiary hospital in the United States. Using logistic regression analysis, we used serum sodium before CRRT, mean serum sodium...

... potassium ( K ) in normal range. Deviation from normal plasma K ranges is associated with increased mortality; however, the average trajectory of plasma K over time in patients with advanced NDD-CKD and the outcomes associated with plasma K trajectory are unknown. Methods: We identified 34,167 US veterans...

...Muzamil O. Hassan; Itunu Owoyemi; Emaad M. Abdel-Rahman; Jennie Z. Ma; Rasheed A. Balogun Introduction: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is known to be associated with increased mortality, and racial differences in hospital mortality exist in patients with AKI. However, it remains to be seen whether...

... was compared with PFO i/o , and both were evaluated for associations with dialysis requirement, AKI stage 2 or 3, and 90-day mortality. Results: Fifty-eight patients with a median age of 67.5 years (interquartile range 18.0) were recruited. Of which, 33 (56.9%) were males and 41 (70.7%) had preexisting CKD 3...

... number of elderly people with CKD. Objective: This study, a complement to our previous Cr-based study in the same cohort, is aimed at evaluating cystatin C (cysC)-based changes in kidney function during aging in older women and analyzing the association between CKD and mortality through 10 years...

... was to evaluate the incidence and predictive factors of transient and persistent postoperative AKI in patients submitted to major abdominal surgery and to characterize the impact of AKI on in-hospital mortality. Methods: This study was a cross-examination of a retrospective analysis of clinical data of 450...

...Masayasu Kojima; Daijo Inaguma; Shigehisa Koide; Eri Koshi-Ito; Kazuo Takahashi; Hiroki Hayashi; Naotake Tsuboi; Midori Hasegawa; Yukio Yuzawa Background: Few studies have focused on the association between history of ischemic stroke at predialysis stage and mortality after dialysis initiation...

... of patients present with macrocytic anemia, manifested by elevated mean corpuscular volume (MCV), which has been associated with worse outcomes in CKD patients. However, it is unknown whether elevated MCV is associated with higher mortality risk in incident hemodialysis (HD) patients. Methods...

.... The association of NAFLD with outcomes in patients with diabetic kidney disease (DKD) has been variably reported. This study aimed to investigate the association of NAFLD with cardiovascular, renal outcomes and mortality in patients with advanced DKD (CKD 3–5, not on dialysis). Methods: This observational study...

... of hospitalizations on post-discharge mortality. Methods: This study was a prospective cohort study. We examined 3,359 adult patients on hemodialysis for at least 90 days who participated in the Japanese Dialysis Outcomes and Practice Patterns Study phases 3 and 4 (2005–2012). The patients hospitalized within 3...
