BACKGROUND: The risk of fragility fractures is high in kidney transplant recipients, and steroids are reportedly a major cause. Other drugs known to induce fragility fractures have been studied in the general population but not in kidney transplant recipients. Here, we investigated the association between exposure over time to drugs that can injure bone (namely vitamin K antagonists, insulin, loop diuretics, proton pump inhibitors, opioids, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, antiepileptics and benzodiazepines) and incident fractures and changes over time in T-scores in this population...

BACKGROUND: Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) or kidney replacement therapy demonstrate lower antibody levels after severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccination compared with healthy controls. In a prospective cohort, we analysed the impact of immunosuppressive treatment and type of vaccine on antibody levels after three SARS-CoV-2 vaccinations. METHODS: Control subjects ( n  = 186), patients with CKD G4/5 ( n  = 400), dialysis patients ( n  = 480) and kidney transplant recipients (KTR) ( n  = 2468) were vaccinated with either mRNA-1273 (Moderna), BNT162b2 (Pfizer-BioNTech) or AZD1222 (Oxford/AstraZeneca) in the Dutch SARS-CoV-2 vaccination programme...

BACKGROUND: Diabetes is one of the leading causes of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal disease. This study aims to develop and validate different risk predictive models for incident CKD and CKD progression in people with type 2 diabetes (T2D). METHODS: We reviewed a cohort of people with T2D seeking care from two tertiary hospitals in the metropolitan cities of the state of Selangor and Negeri Sembilan from January 2012 to May 2021. To identify the 3-year predictor of developing CKD (primary outcome) and CKD progression (secondary outcome), the dataset was randomly split into a training and test set...

There is a rising demand for dialysis in the older population given the increased numbers of older adults living with chronic kidney disease (CKD) progressing to kidney failure. Home dialysis, i.e. peritoneal dialysis (PD) and home hemodialysis (HHD), has been available for decades, but more recently there has been a rapid increase in home dialysis utilization as patients and clinicians consider its practical and clinical advantages. For older adults, incident home dialysis utilization more than doubled and prevalent home dialysis growth nearly doubled over the past decade...

The European Society of Cardiology 2021 guideline on cardiovascular (CV) disease (CVD) prevention in clinical practice has major implications for both CV risk screening and kidney health of interest to primary care physicians, cardiologists, nephrol-ogists, and other professionals involved in CVD prevention. The proposed CVD prevention strategies require as first step the categorization of individuals into those with established atherosclerotic CVD, diabetes, familiar hypercholesterolaemia, or chronic kidney disease (CKD), i...

Kidney transplantation is the treatment of choice for patients with kidney failure. Priority on the waiting list and optimal donor-recipient matching are guided by mathematical scores, clinical variables and macroscopic observation of the donated organ. Despite the increasing rates of successful kidney transplantation, maximizing the number of available organs while ensuring the optimum long-term performance of the transplanted kidney remains both key and challenging, and no unequivocal markers are available for clinical decision making...

Bone fragility is highly prevalent, yet underdiagnosed in patients with chronic kidney disease. Incomplete understanding of the pathophysiology and limitations of current diagnostics contribute to therapeutic hesitation, if not nihilism. This narrative review addresses the question of whether microRNAs (miRNAs) may improve therapeutic decision making in osteoporosis and renal osteodystrophy. miRNAs are key epigenetic regulators of bone homeostasis and show promise as both therapeutic targets and as biomarkers, primarily of bone turnover...

BACKGROUND: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common and serious condition defined by a rapid decline in kidney function. Data on changes in long-term kidney function following AKI are sparse and conflicting. Therefore, we examined the changes in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) from before to after AKI in a nationwide population-based setting. METHODS: Using Danish laboratory databases, we identified individuals with first-time AKI defined by an acute increase in plasma creatinine (pCr) during 2010 to 2017...

Neural tissue encoding protein with EGF-like repeats (NELL1) is a recently discovered target antigen in membranous nephropathy (MN). The initial study showed that most cases of NELL1 MN had no underlying disease associations, i.e. most cases of NELL1 MN were classified as primary MN. Subsequently, NELL1 MN has been found in the setting of various diseases. These include NELL1 MN associated with malignancy, drugs, infections, autoimmune disease, hematopoietic stem cell transplant, de novo MN in a kidney transplant and sarcoidosis...

Many advances have been made in the field of nephrology over the last decade. These include an increasing focus on patient-centred involvement in trials, exploration of innovative trial designs and methodology, the growth of personalized medicine and, most importantly, novel therapeutic agents that are disease-modifying for large groups of patients with and without diabetes and chronic kidney disease. Despite this progress, many questions remain unanswered and we have not critically evaluated some of our assumptions, practices and guidelines despite emerging evidence to challenge current paradigms and discrepant patient-preferred outcomes...

BACKGROUND: Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is more common in patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis than in the general population. Critical limb ischemia (CLI), the most severe form of PAD, is associated with high amputation and mortality risk. However, few prospective studies are available evaluating this disease's presentation, risk factors and outcomes for patients receiving hemodialysis. METHODS: The Hsinchu VA study, a prospective multicentre study, investigated the impact of clinical factors on cardiovascular outcomes of patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis from January 2008 until December 2021...

The coexistence of osteoporosis and chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an evolving healthcare challenge in the face of increasingly aging populations. Globally, accelerating fracture incidence causes disability, impaired quality of life and increased mortality. Consequently, several novel diagnostic and therapeutic tools have been introduced for treatment and prevention of fragility fractures. Despite an especially high fracture risk in CKD, these patients are commonly excluded from interventional trials and clinical guidelines...

BACKGROUND: In the general population, the CHA2 DS2 -VASC and the HAS-BLED scores are helpful to predict cerebrovascular events and hemorrhage in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). However, their predictive value remains controversial in the dialysis population. This study aims to explore the association between these scores and cerebral cardiovascular events in hemodialysis (HD) patients. METHODS: This is a retrospective study including all HD patients treated between January 2010 and December 2019 in two Lebanese dialysis facilities...

The risk of progression to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) in patients with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) and glomerulonephritis (AAV-GN) remains high. At 5 years of follow-up, 14-25% of patients will evolve to ESKD, suggesting that kidney survival is not optimized in patients with AAV. The addition of plasma exchange (PLEX) to standard remission induction has been the standard of care, particularly in patients with severe renal disease. However, there is still some debate regarding which patients benefit from PLEX...

BACKGROUND: Interest in point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) and lung ultrasound (LUS) is growing in the nephrology and dialysis field, and the number of nephrologists skilled in what is proving to be the "5th pillar of bedside physical examination" is increasing. Patients on hemodialysis (HD) are at high risk of contracting severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-COV-2) and developing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) serious complications. Despite this, to our knowledge there are no studies to date that show the role of LUS in this setting, while there are many in the emergency room, where LUS proved to be an important tool, providing risk stratification and guiding management strategies and resource allocation...
