Waistline may predict kidney patient’s mortality risk
Clinicians should consider waist circumference in conjunction with BMI when assessing mortality risk among patients with chronic kidney disease.
Chronic Kidney Disease
Adult polycystic kidney disease management
One of the most common causes of chronic kidney failure, polycystic kidney disease is an inherited condition with no proven treatment.
Triple-marker renal panel predicted CKD outcomes better than creatinine alone
Patients with chronic kidney disease as determined by elevated creatinine, cystatin C and albuminuria, had a 3-fold increased risk for death and a 4-fold increased risk for end-stage renal disease compared with those whose CKD was predicted by creatinine alone.
Use cystatin C to detect kidney problems
Cystatin C blood measurements may be useful in assessing the risk of complications associated with chronic kidney disease.
Vegetarian diet helps CKD patients stay healthy
Eating vegetables lowered phosphorous levels in patients with chronic kidney disease.
Osteoporosis in patients with CKD
A lack of clinical trials and limited pharmaceutical options mean that management of this complication poses therapeutic challenges.
Blood calcium highs, lows can be lethal in kidney disease
Mortality risk for patients who had abnormally high calcium levels for a prolonged period was 31% greater than that of the individuals with normal blood calcium levels
